Chapter 634 The talent of the prime minister (to the leader Su Ming 989
As soon as the sky dawned, officials from Ju County came to pay their respects to the marquis early.
Yang Lin smiled and praised them a few words, and then set off in a hurry to leave this small county.
Suddenly, someone among the officials shouted: "Young Master, please stay."
Everyone was stunned immediately and looked up to see a civil servant in blue shirt.
This is the official uniform of the dean of the academy. Yang Lin asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"The lower official Fan Zongyin is in charge of Chengyang Academy. I have something to ask the young master today."
Seeing the bitter and resentful look on his face, Yang Lin found a place to sit down and asked with a chuckle: "Dean Fan, please tell me."
This guy was not polite and went straight to the point, "Ever since I first heard about Yang Xue, Xiaguan thought it was the way to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and I deeply believed in it. Shao Zai's method of opening an academy to study has indeed given countless children from poor families the opportunity to study.
Literacy. However, since the promulgation of the academic system, there are no rules to follow. Scholars' advancement depends entirely on the decisions of the academy.
In this case, wouldn't it turn into a transaction of favors? To be honest, Shaozai said that in the short two years since Xianguan took charge of Chengyang Academy, seven or eight colleagues with higher rankings than Xianguan had come to seek a place for their nephew to enter the academy.
Already."
The academic system was Cai Jing's handiwork. He probably wanted to take advantage of the back door, accept bribes, and become accomplices, so he deliberately left such a big loophole.
Yang Lin secretly felt ashamed and asked: "Then Dean Fan, have you given them a quota?"
"There was one who was relatively outstanding, so he was admitted to the academy by his superiors. The others were just idlers, so they are still in the academy."
Yang Lin nodded and said, "That's true, what do you think?"
Fan Zongyin did not expect that after hearing this, Yang Lin was neither furious nor angry, but instead started discussing with him calmly.
He took a step forward, and the officials around him avoided him with some disgust. This boy dared to say anything. These people had evil intentions in their hearts. They were the ones who were trying to find a way out for their nephew.
In any case, Fan Zongyin has offended the entire officialdom of Ju County and cannot stay any longer.
He didn't seem to know this. He took a step forward, looking a little excited, and said: "Young Zai, I have always thought that Yang Xue's way is to discover everyone's talents. In the same way, what the court has to do is to let everyone decide.
An individual's future is no longer determined by his family status, but by his intelligence and talents."
"This is easier said than done." Yang Lin sighed and said: "A person's achievements and status should not be bound by one's origin. What I dream of is that the sage will get his position and the fool will benefit from it."
Fan Zongyin continued to talk. His understanding of Yang Xue was very profound and unique, even surpassing that of Yang Lin.
This is not uncommon. Yang Lin just opened a door for them. He has never doubted that these ancient people were outstanding. If you open a door for these people, they will give you a world.
He stepped forward gently, like an old friend discussing a problem, not intimidated by Yang Lin's official position.
His face was very calm and not impassioned, but there was a light flashing in his eyes that gave him an indescribable elegance.
"Shao Zai, a junior official, came to this academy to serve as a Jinshi. I came into contact with many young students and found that they all had their own strengths. In the past, the official positions in the imperial court were determined by the imperial examination, and the imperial examination also had its drawbacks. In our Song Dynasty
Inheriting the Tang system, only officials were appointed, not officials. For example, the magistrates were appointed by scholars who came from the imperial examinations, but the subordinate officials below the magistrates were hereditary, elected, or assigned. Not only were the good and the bad mixed, but they were also full of disadvantages."
"In fact, these positions require a high level of professional ability to be competent, and it cannot be done by simply sending one person to do it. The official believes that when we enter the academic system, we should also cancel everyone's rote study together, but should do it in different categories.
Take exams to select the right talents. The exam content should not be limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs. Numeracy, skills, and eloquence are all included!"
The more Yang Lin listened, the more excited he became. He patted his shoulder, looked around and said to the people present: "Fan Zongyin, under the prime minister!"
The officials in the crowd were so shocked that they could not speak. How could this guy suddenly become a prime minister?
The key person who said this is Yang Shaozai, so Dean Fan is not just a prime minister, he is very likely to sit in the prime minister's position.
Yang Lin stretched out his hand and said, "Here, bring the paper and pen!"
Soon someone came over with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Yang Lin wrote a letter of recommendation in front of everyone.
After finishing writing, he called Lu Qian and said, "Let Mr. Zhu lead a few personal guards to escort President Fan into Bianliang."
Fan Zongyin was at a loss. Although he seemed to have a God-given opportunity, he suddenly burst into tears and spoke to the powerful people in his heart about what he had hidden in his heart for a long time, but now he didn't know what would happen next.
Yang Lin smiled and said: "You go to the Department of Culture and Education first and take up the position of cadre. I have already written to inform Master Cai. After you go, the biggest task is to work with Master Cai to classify and sort out the examination subjects.
"
"I hope that by the time I return to Beijing, you will already have a preliminary plan. We will slowly try it out, improve it, and customize it!"
This is a massive project, which, in conjunction with the new service laws, can make these local subordinates more professional.
These people are the cornerstone of governing the place and can no longer be randomly selected.
If the entire empire is compared to a house, now it is necessary to make the bricks and stones into bricks and stones, and the earth and wood to be earth and wood. Once completed, it is conceivable how much power this empire will burst out and how powerful it will be.
progress.
In the past, local officials began to study after taking office. Knowing that they had learned well, many people finally figured out some skills, and their term of office was also up. Moreover, the college entered the academic system, because Cai Jing’s original purpose was not pure, so he left
It’s time to correct this big loophole.
Examination is always the most appropriate method. Even if it has some flaws, it is much better than other methods and is the fairest method within our ability.
Fan Zongyin was flattered. He didn't expect Yang Shaozai to be so resolute and resolute, and he was simply his close friend.
Grand Master Cai was famous all over the world. He had been in power for six years, and the results of the New Deal were well known to everyone. Now Cai Jing is very prestigious among the scholars, and his reputation is not bad.
Fan Zongyin couldn't help but tremble at the thought of finally reaching the top of Tongting and working with the big shots of the dynasty to set rules that would not change for thousands of years.
Yang Lin said loudly: "Lu Qian, ask the personal guards who have returned to Beijing to pass my message to the house to withdraw some money and buy a house in Bianliang for Dean Fan." After speaking, he looked at Fan Zongyin and said: "
Bring the whole family to Bianliang and make this regulation for me with peace of mind."
Fan Zongyin was so moved that his heart was as solid as a rock. He bowed deeply and bowed, saying: "If you lower your rank, you will definitely fulfill your mission!"
