This is the confidence that the young man in white gave him.
"Since ancient times, young people have been the pillars of the country. This statement is indeed true, Xue Yuanchao, I will remember you." The smile on Qin Huaidao's face became more numerous, which means that the old system's ideas are not monolithic. Even if there is only a spark of equality, the idea of equality can still exist.
It can start a prairie fire.
Then, he saw Guo Zhengyi's test paper.
"Equality is relative."
As soon as these words were spoken, the person in the dream was awakened.
Qin Huaidao was originally from the military and had absolute faith in certain spirits. Though he accepted many modern ideas, he was not good at understanding the ideas, innovating and finding suitable methods.
Countless people followed him and worked with him to build the Han Dynasty. This was all based on his innovations in various equipment and command of the army. Guo Zhengyi truly understood his concept of equality and proposed corresponding solutions.
people.
That's right, absolute equality only exists in ideals. Even if according to what Xue Yuanchao said, all inequality comes from human desires, and inequality can be eliminated with no desire and no desire, this is impossible to achieve.
What can be achieved is to establish relative equality.
Guo Zhengyi's theory of drawing a bottom line for people's livelihood in the policy question paper is quite basic to modern policy theory.
However, it is not enough to draw a bottom line for people's livelihood. The mutual accountability of officials at all levels and the supervision of power agencies are very important. In addition to the establishment of bureaucratic agencies for supervision, supervision by the people is indispensable.
With the ideas provided by the students, Qin Huaidao quickly supplemented the mechanism to achieve equality among scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants.
Nowadays, the supervisory agencies include the Supervisory Office and Jinyiwei, and now they want to confirm their power among the people.
The first is a national reporting system. All government agencies have a reporting mechanism. All reports must be investigated to the end, and announcements must be posted to show the public.
The second is the reporter investigation system, which sets up local newspapers and periodicals, recruits private journalists, and exercises local news, people's livelihood and political reporting rights, and is specifically responsible for investigating and reporting unknown secrets and major news events.
The third is to establish a complaint system. Any local official who fails to act or is dissatisfied with the result of the report can directly appeal to the state, provincial, government or even the palace.
Only with a sound supervision mechanism can a more equal situation emerge.
Qin Huaidao also knew that to completely implement these systems, the Han Dynasty needed to centralize power.
The road is taken step by step, and ideological transformation is the first step he is about to take.
In the later palace examination, Qin Huaidao asked several candidates in more detail about the policy questions and answers. Among them, Guo Zhengyi's answer surprised him. This person was not a rotten scholar who studied hard, but had his own thoughts and was expected to become a scholar.
A future great scholar who is a new generation of literary and moral practitioners.
As for the other candidates, they all have their own merits.
The imperial examination results are published, and all schools are eagerly looking forward to it.
Students from Shannan Dao and students from Longyou Dao were still at war with each other, and Li Yi and Su Baozhen refused to give in to each other. They both believed that they could win the first prize in the dynasty.
Good news continues to come from various schools.
"Master Li Shaoqiu, a student from Jiannan Dao, has been promoted to the top three. Congratulations to Mr. Li for his promotion. I will give you a gift of ten taels of gold. I would like to congratulate you with a small gift. I also hope Mr. Li will take care of the shop."
Li Shaoqiu said proudly: "That's natural. I, Li Shaoqiu, won't be able to get the top three easily. I have to say that His Majesty is very discerning. Everyone, please do your best."
"Congratulations to Mr. Li, congratulations to Mr. Li."
After a while, the list of the top three students was announced. The students who did not register their names were not depressed. Failure to rank in the top three means that they may be in the second or even first class. If they accidentally get the top pick or second place, their future prospects will be uncertain.
Limited edition.
Soon, the top two list began to be released.
"Jiang Yun of Jiangnan Province, ranked second and thirty-sixth." This Jiang Yun and Jiang Sheng are from the same Jiang family. Unlike Jiang Shengwei, he did not join in the commotion in the examination room a few days ago. Now,
Obtaining the second-class award also means that Jiangnan students have not been wiped out.
Jiang Yun, who was in the school building, looked calm and silently accepted the gift from the shopkeeper. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Next, are some common names.
"Master Li Yi, a student from Shannan Dao, ranks among the top twenty-eighth."
Li Yi was very satisfied. He was one of the top ten students in Shannan Province, but his ranking was not high. To win the second place this time was beyond his expectations. However, Su Baozhen from Longyou Road next to him looked ugly before he reported his name, which made him
very happy.
"As expected, he is a barbarian from Longyou Road. Let alone the second class, even if he wants to get the third class, it will be difficult." Li Yi sarcastically stabbed Su Baozhen: "But it doesn't matter. Now that I have won the second class, my future prospects are limitless.
, there is a world of difference between you and me, Su Baozhen, I'm afraid you will have to salute me next time we meet."
Su Baozhen said coldly: "That's not necessarily the case. Your Majesty has said that everyone in the world is equal. If you are an official, you may not be superior to us, and I will not salute you."
"Hmph, you can give it a try." Li Yi said and ignored him.
Several more rankings were applied one after another.
"A happy event, a happy event. Congratulations to Su Baozhen, Mr. Su, for his promotion to the 19th place among the top two. I will congratulate Mr. Su with a gift of thirty taels." Hearing the congratulatory voice, Su Baozhen was ecstatic.
"Nineteenth place, actually nineteenth place, haha, Li Yi, your future is limitless, do you still want me to salute you? Now I am nine places higher than you, what do you have to say?" Su Baozhen
His laughter could even be heard by students in the school building next door.
Li Yi's smile gradually disappeared on his face. He didn't expect that this barbarian from Longyou Road could actually enter the second class.
"Huh, mountains and rivers meet each other. A high starting point may not necessarily be a high end point. Let's wait and see."
After Li Yi finished speaking, Su Baozhen wanted to say something more, but at this time the students were more concerned about who else was on the list, so the quarrel between the two disappeared invisibly amid the congratulations for each promotion.
The names of Chen Yuanqing, He Jinfang, He Zhi and others appeared one after another in the second-class list, while Linghu Defen ranked first in the second-class list, passing the imperial examination for this year.
As the top two rankings were announced, countless people's eyes showed fervent expectations.
Next, is Yijia.
Just those who open the list will receive countless honors and benefits, let alone those who are famous on the list.
The golden gong was beating so loudly that many students even left their own schools, just to walk onto the streets to see which school the messenger had entered.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, the voice of the third Tanhualang spread throughout Chang'an.
"Congratulations to Fenyin County, Puzhou, Mr. Xue Yuanchao, Mr. Xue, for being promoted to the top, and being appointed by His Majesty as this year's Beauty Prospector, with a gift of one hundred taels!"
Xue Yuanchao's name was heard like thunder overnight. His Majesty appointed him for the first imperial examination of the Han Dynasty. One can imagine the importance of this young man.
