His Majesty Li Er attaches great importance to the imperial examination. Although the general framework is inherited from the old system of the pre-Sui Dynasty, after all, the imperial examination of the pre-Sui Dynasty was also careless and full of omissions. This requires the Ministry of Rites to formulate a rigorous and reasonable system in a timely manner. Learn from it later.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
But of course this doesn’t trouble Fang Jun…
In just one day, Fang Jun presented a complete set of copied imperial examination procedures and systems in front of Kong Yingda.
Kong Yingda immediately summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites to discuss the feasibility of this process.
In this regard, Fang Jun felt that this unnecessary step was already copying the extremely mature imperial examination system of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations. What else could be discussed? Of course, although Fang Jun knew that the imperial examination would be developed to the end, he would still most likely become a ruler. It is a tool to imprison thoughts and stabilize rule, but it still just copies the system and adds its own ideas to it...
In the main hall of the Ministry of Rites, all the important officials of the headquarters were present and gathered together.
In fact, the attendees this time were not only officials from the Ministry of Rites, but also several ministers who were specially ordered by His Majesty Li Er to participate in the preparatory plan for the science and technology system, including Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, Wei Zheng in the imperial court, and Ma Zhou, a member of the Zhongshushe. Zhongshu Ling Cen Wenwen, and Shangshu Zuopu Shefang Xuanling...
The main hall was transformed by Fang Jun into the appearance of a later conference room. In the middle was an independent desk for the person presiding over the meeting to sit, and then the desks formed a fan shape to guard the main desk, and the participants sat in it.
Fang Jun typed his own "Imperial Examination Process" using movable type printing and printed many copies, and each participant had a copy.
Whether it was the novel venue layout or the clearly written and neatly bound meeting materials, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were amazed and greatly interested. Not a single one objected. Even those officials who had some slight resistance in their hearts , and also know that Fang Jun is now a famous figure in the Ministry of Rites. Not only does His Majesty love and protect him, but Minister Kong Yingda also values and trusts him more. Who dares to offend him without opening his eyes?
Not to mention that Fang Jun himself is a notorious existence, and you would be crazy to provoke him on such insignificant matters...
The meeting was of course presided over by Kong Yingda, Minister of Rites.
Lao Kong turned over the "Imperial Examination Process" in his hand, looked up at the ministers below who were attentive, rubbed his temples, and waved to Fang Jun, who was sitting in the corner, and Fang Jun hurried over.
Since the day before yesterday, when Lao Kong complained a lot and relegated Confucianism to nothing, Lao Kong not only did not say bad words to Fang Jun, but was deeply impressed by his spirit of hard work and courage to pioneer. He respected Fang Jun even more, and he was no longer a "playing friend". The level has risen to the level of cultivating successors...
"You come and sit here, you will preside over this meeting."
Lao Kong cleared the table, and Shi Shiran stood up and gave up the throne to Fang Jun. Fang Jun was startled and quickly stopped this sage who had already left his family and moved towards pursuing the truth in the world. Face said: "Can we stop making trouble? Look at who is sitting down here. How can I preside over it?"
Lao Kong glared at him: "There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. This "Imperial Examination Process" is from your hand. You naturally know the detailed details. Anyone who has questions will naturally be answered by you. Anyone who has good suggestions Naturally, everyone needs to discuss it together. What can't you preside over? Besides, you should respect the old and love the young at a young age. I am already so old, and my ears are ringing and my eyes are dazzled. How dare you hide down there and let me relax? This old bone has worked so hard on it? That’s it!”
Fang Jun could only watch Lao Kong holding a piece of material, holding a teacup and sitting down at his original seat.
The two of them were muttering to each other, which had already attracted everyone's attention. It wasn't until Kong Yingda gave up the host's seat and sat down below that everyone showed surprised expressions.
At this point, Fang Jun could only grit his teeth and scold Kong Yingda secretly for being unreasonable, and had no choice but to take the main seat.
"Everyone, please carefully read the "Imperial Examination Process" in your hands. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can put it forward and I will answer it below." Although the people sitting below are all big Boos from the court, but Fang Fang
Jun has no stage fright. In his previous life, he has hosted at least 80 meetings, if not 100. The moment he sat down on the main seat, he suddenly felt like traveling through time and space...
Just a classmate, a boy in his prime;
The scholar was angry and scolded Fang Qiu.
Pointing out the country and inspiring words, the excrement of thousands of households.?
Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the current, the waves stopped the boat from flying?
…
A surge of lofty ideals suddenly arises from within my chest!
Ma Zhou, a member of Zhongshushe, was the first to ask.
Showing the information in his hand, Ma Zhou asked: "I admire this "Imperial Examination Process" very much. It is well organized, rigorously arranged, and almost perfect in all aspects, but there is one thing that I think is inappropriate. This is from the Marquis of Xinxiang
In the "Imperial Examination Process", the entire imperial examination is divided into three stages: the provincial examination, the provincial examination, and the palace examination. Only those who get a good ranking in the previous stage are eligible to take the next stage of the examination. This is very reasonable, but it also shows that this requires
With extremely detailed organizational planning and sufficient time, it is estimated below that it will take at least a year. However, His Majesty's intention is to conduct the imperial examination in the spring, which is obviously too late. I wonder if the Marquis of Xinxiang has made a record to deal with it.
Spring exam?”
Fang Jun gave Ma Zhou a thumbs up. This man was indeed a talented man with quick thinking. He simply flipped through it and pointed out the most important point.
His Majesty Li Er was eager to conduct the imperial examination in order to network talents from poor families in the world and compete with the wealthy families. This was his original intention, and it was also a policy that was destined to succeed in line with the historical trend.
However, improving the imperial examination is a process that must be persisted for a long time. Even if the bug Fang Jun appears and the imperial examination system of the Ming and Qing dynasties is copied, it cannot be achieved overnight.
If the orange grows in Huainan, it becomes orange; if the orange grows in the north of Huaihe, it becomes zhi.
There are huge differences between the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Tang Dynasty in terms of political environment, social atmosphere, etc. The system that is suitable for the Ming and Qing dynasties may not be suitable for the Tang Dynasty. This requires continuous improvement in the long-term preparation process.
At present, how to minimize the resistance of the aristocratic families to the imperial examination system is the top priority!
There is no doubt that at the current stage of the Tang Dynasty, those who possess advanced knowledge and can meet the selection requirements of imperial officials can only be young men from aristocratic families. These young people live in a favorable environment and have experienced hardship since childhood.
Advanced education is superior to others in terms of knowledge, vision, and ability.
As for those scholars from poor families who want to compete with the disciples from aristocratic families in all aspects, we can only say that comrades still have to work hard, and the road is long and long...
In view of this, for a long period of time, the subjects of the imperial examinations were still the children of aristocratic families. This was a status quo that no one could doubt. Even His Majesty Li Er, who was eager to promote the students from poor families, had to accept this status quo.
"Those recommended by academies at all levels are called students, and those recommended by prefectures and counties are called township tributes. The number of township tributes is allocated by the central government, with three people per year in the upper state, two in the middle state, and one in the lower state. Those with talent are not subject to quota restrictions;
Regardless of their family status or whether they are rich or poor, they can take the examination in prefectures and counties with ultimatums in mind, and then be selected step by step to the capital to participate in the provincial examination with students and disciples."
Fang Jun was full of confidence and had already prepared a draft.
In this way, those aristocratic families who are extremely resistant to the imperial examination can accept the imperial examination to the maximum extent. Among them, the candidates are recommended by schools at all levels and recommended by prefectures and counties. It can be said that they are tailor-made for the aristocratic families...
Ma Zhou was delighted.
He was a scholar from a poor family. As a scholar who was equivalent to the "big secret", it can be said that His Majesty Li Er was determined to establish the imperial examination system, and Ma Zhou's unremitting efforts were among them. But Ma Zhou was also a talented person who understood affairs.
He knew that everything had to be done step by step. If he promoted the Gao Han disciples and suppressed the noble families from the beginning, he would surely encounter the fiercest confrontation. Either His Majesty Li Er was afraid of the resistance of the noble families and the imperial examination system ended without any problem, or His Majesty Li Er powerfully
Implementation will lead to chaos in the world...
The method proposed by Fang Jun is undoubtedly the safest. While appeasing the noble families, it also leaves an opportunity for the rise of poor scholars. It is a gentle way that is acceptable to all parties and will not cause too much violence.
Emotions.
This guy is really a great talent...
Wei Zheng moved his stiff body on the chair and said in a deep voice: "The details are almost perfect. Even if there are still a few things to consider, they can be improved and adjusted during the preparation process. But there is one thing I don't understand. Why do you combine arithmetic with arithmetic?"
Ming Jing and Jinshi are ranked first in both subjects? Arithmetic is a minor path and I think it is completely unnecessary!"
Fang Jun narrowed his eyes, but he didn't expect that the first person to fire at the private goods he had brought was Wei Zheng!
