At this time, the time for the first civil service examination in Yizhou is getting closer and closer.
Li Min is busy with this matter.
This incident can be said to be the first fire Li Min made after taking office as the governor of Yizhou.
This fire burned directly to the aristocratic families in Jiannan Road.
Because the purpose of this civil service examination is to regain power.
In the past, the imperial court and local gentry jointly governed the place.
In other words, it was the local gentry who helped the emperor govern the place.
But now, Li Min, the governor of Jiannan Road, wants to take back this right.
Although Li Min's prestige in Jiannan Road is now at its peak, it is at the height of its power and is unparalleled for a while.
But we have to be careful of the family's counterattack.
After all, although this move cannot be said to shake the foundation of the family, it at least significantly weakens the family's power.
This time the exam is also divided into many categories, and the exams will be conducted in different categories.
For example, if you want to be admitted to the county government or township government office, you must be familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty and these processes, and there are also certain requirements for literary talent.
For example, if you were to take the exam for the position of street guard, well, it has now been changed to police officer by Li Min.
If you want to pass the police examination, in addition to the competition, you must also take a martial arts test.
In short, if you want to take the exam for different positions, the test questions will be different.
The civil service examination in Yizhou has once again provided many opportunities for advancement for those from poor families.
Although they may only serve as the lowest-ranking officials.
But the opportunities here are countless times greater than the chances of gaining fame in the imperial examination.
In the imperial examination, it was really like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.
And if you are a truly poor boy without any connections, it will be difficult for you to be selected by the examiner.
After all, in this era, there is no such thing as a name-blinding system.
The number of scholars in Yizhou can be said to be the largest in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, as soon as the news of the civil service examination came out, it can be said that there was a large number of responders.
And those grassroots officials controlled by aristocratic families are full of complaints.
But facing the more powerful Jiedushi Li Min, they could only hide their resentment in their stomachs, or go home and lose their temper, but did not dare to vent their anger outside.
Even the aristocratic families in Jiannan Road were deeply fearful and uneasy towards Li Min.
At this time, they really wanted to get in touch with Wu Xing Qi Wang and others.
In their view, the current Jiannan Road is the epitome of the entire Tang Dynasty in the future.
If the power of their aristocratic family can be gradually weakened now, the aristocratic families such as Five Surnames and Qiwang will not be able to escape and be weakened in the future.
But to their disappointment, at this time, Wu Xing Qi Wang became quiet and had no intention of contacting them or causing further trouble.
This can't help but put Yizhou's aristocratic families in a dilemma.
They would never dare to confront Shu King Li Min alone.
Are you kidding me? I haven’t seen the envoys from the Sixteen Kingdoms being treated obediently by the King of Shu!
Moreover, all the people in Jiannan Road are now enthusiastic supporters of King Shu.
To put it bluntly, even when the King of Shu said that he wanted to rebel and become the emperor, these idiots would follow the King of Shu and firmly support him.
…
Five days later, the first civil service examination in Jiannan Province officially began.
There are so many candidates this time, with at least a dozen people competing for almost every position.
Because as long as you can pass the civil service examination, you will have an iron rice bowl that can last for a lifetime.
And this year can be said to be their greatest opportunity.
Because this year, it can almost be said that the entire pattern will be broken, and many positions will be vacant.
After this year, there won't be so many opportunities in the future.
If you don't seize this opportunity now, you won't have such a good opportunity in the future.
Soon, tens of thousands of candidates entered different examination rooms according to the positions they wanted to obtain.
This time, Li Min ordered Shangguan Yi to take full responsibility for the exam.
In terms of security, Xue Rengui was ordered to dispatch five thousand soldiers to maintain order inside and outside the examination room.
Before entering the examination room, a body search will be conducted. After the body search, all candidates will be put into the examination room.
Next, the test papers are distributed and the exam begins.
After the exam questions were distributed, many exams suddenly entered a state of confusion.
Many of these confused candidates were grassroots officials in their original positions.
They are also the group of people who will be laid off if they fail this exam.
Of course, if they can pass the exam and get the same score, they will definitely be admitted first.
However, these low-level officials were all promoted by the aristocratic families in Jiannan Road.
When they take up their posts, they don't rely on their abilities and abilities, but rather their status and connections.
For example, as long as you give a gift to the person in charge of the family, you can take up any position.
Or maybe they are of high status, and those in charge would not dare not to make arrangements.
If these people serve as local officials, will they perform their duties with all their heart and soul?
You can learn all the tricks very quickly when it comes to eating and playing cards. As for doing things, it’s up to the people below to do it.
Many of these people are even illiterate at all.
Even if there are literate people, there are many who do not even understand the format of documents.
So, when I heard that I had to pass an exam to compete for jobs.
If the mediocre ones let the capable ones take the lead, they will be very capable.
One month before the exam, they also studied unexpectedly for a while, but the effect was extremely limited.
Of course, not all people from aristocratic families are stupid.
There are also some very smart people who are literate and proficient in business.
In the examination area, it can be said that they have a great advantage.
For this group of people, as long as they can pass the exam, Li Min will certainly continue to use it.
Li Min did not specifically exclude people from aristocratic families, he just gave equal opportunities to those from poor families and those from aristocratic families.
Of course, the exam is only the first step.
Next, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done.
That is to say, those people who came from aristocratic families and relied on connections or money to get into positions of power were dumbfounded when faced with the test questions during the exam.
A temporary one-month assault will hardly have much effect.
Faced with questions they have never seen before, they can only fill them in randomly.
As for those children from poor families, many of them will be dumbfounded when faced with the test questions on the test paper.
For example, for this question, find out which of the following graphics is different from the others, and write the number of the correct answer at the end.
Attached below are four figures A, B, C and D.
And these four shapes, in their opinion, are all different!
How should I choose this answer?
Do you want to select all the answers?
There is also a question like this. Based on the known conditions, judge the following three people. Which person is lying?
