Chapter 1056 What should I do if it is overthrown?
The next day, the examination continued. In the evening, the examination was over, and then the many grading examiners who had been arranged in advance began to mark the papers.
Thousands of people's test papers need to be marked in a short time, and in order to ensure accuracy, the test papers are cross-marked, so the workload is very large.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was different from other traditional dynasties. They did not directly dispatch officials from other departments to participate in the examination. That was the work of the Ministry of Rites, and other departments were basically not qualified to participate.
Therefore, the people who grade the papers are all officials from the Ministry of Rites, including not only officials from the Department of Education, but also teachers from the two universities. In addition, some senior students from the Royal Institute of Technology will also participate in the grade.
While the grading work was going on, Li Xuan was not idle. He was dealing with many of his affairs as usual. He waited until two days later before the Education Department of the Ministry of Rites sent the final results of the Jinling Examination.
The top candidates among the more than 5,000 candidates have already been selected, but even after being selected, there are still 1,000 people, so at most the candidates who pass the exam will be listed on the list and then sent to Li.
On Xuan's side, as for the examination papers that Li Xuan checked in person, they were limited to the top ten in Jinshi and doctoral subjects.
Li Xuan read through the top ten papers in each of these two subjects, a total of 20 papers. There was nothing much to say about the science papers in them. They all had standard answers. By directly comparing the answers, the scores could be given directly. And this
All twenty people's science papers scored above 95.
The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty have begun to use a 100-point system. It is already quite difficult to score 95 points in the examination. After all, this year's science test paper is more difficult than last year.
As for liberal arts papers, whether they are doctoral or Jinshi papers, the writing is quite good, and the scores given by many examiners are relatively consistent, with most of them being above 95 points.
Regarding the papers of these outstanding candidates, what Li Xuan wants to do now is not to find fault or anything else, but to rank these twenty people and determine the rankings for the first-class and second-class candidates. This has always been Li Xuan's power.
Li Xuan did not choose immediately, but first looked at the resumes of these twenty people, and then ranked the names based on their resumes.
After the rankings of these twenty people are determined, the things that require Li Xuan to do personally in this examination are over, and then it is time to post the gold list.
As soon as the gold list was posted, naturally some people were happy and some were sad!
But no one is paying attention to this anymore. What people are paying more attention to is the examination at the Zhili Fourth Road Examination.
Many people know that the Zhili Fourth Examination was an attempt and a pilot test of the imperial examination reform.
Although the change of the imperial examination that has lasted for thousands of years will cause some criticism, the Tang Dynasty has been constantly carrying out various innovations since its establishment, from the cabinet to the army, from agricultural taxes to industry and commerce.
Almost all systems were reformed, and the imperial examination and education were just one of them.
And basically everyone with a little knowledge knows that the empire has been reforming education and imperial examinations. There are not many changes every year, but they are being changed every year. Over time, you will gradually get used to it.
Therefore, not many people have any opinions on the reform itself. They are more concerned about the benefits that the reform will bring to them.
Obviously, this time's reform of the conference will bring great benefits to scholars all over the world.
Because more people are admitted, the chances of scholars getting into the imperial examination will be greater, and they will have a greater chance of becoming officials. Why are they not happy?
The sub-examinations of Zhili Fourth Road were all conducted locally, so Li Xuan could not get the news for a while. Two days after the gold list was announced in Jinling City, he received the test of Zhili Fourth Road one after another.
The result report of the general examination sub-examination.
Because the four-way joint examination was a pilot test, everyone from top to bottom paid great attention to prevent fraud, so the joint examination went very smoothly. In the end, the respective Jinshi and Ph.D. candidates were successfully selected, and based on the previous regulations, they were given
These people were awarded Jinshi and doctorate titles, but they were all top three.
However, this has little impact, because even in the joint examination in Jinling City, nearly 500 people were admitted to the Jinshi subject, but only three were in the first class, and only seven were in the second class.
In the imperial examinations held by the Tang Dynasty, the top ten were ranked first and second, and the eleventh place was ranked third, regardless of how many others followed!
Candidates who take the separate examinations of the general examination do not have much confidence to compete in Jinling City, so it would be good if they can pass the Jinshi examination.
But they don't know yet that Li Xuan has been planning for a long time. After a few years, he will cancel the first, second, and third grades, and call them all Jinshi or doctor without any specialization.
With the sub-examination of the Zhili Fourth Road Examination also achieving a complete success, even if the palace examination has not yet been held, Li Xuan can't wait to announce to the world through the Tang Dynasty Newspaper that starting next year, it will also be held in all provinces.
A separate examination will be set up, and those who pass the examination will be awarded the title of Top Three Scholars and Top Three Doctors.
When all provinces also open it, it means that the national and provincial examinations that Li Xuan has planned for a long time are basically finalized. The follow-up is to continue to improve, such as lowering the grades of new subjects and doctorates, and expanding the number of admissions for the provincial examinations.
Let the provincial examination and the national examination become the main or even the only channel for selecting talents for the country and grassroots talents.
As for how to select mid-level and senior officials, we should slowly select and train them from grassroots officials. In short, it is impossible for a new Jinshi to become a seventh-grade official just after passing the exam.
Li Xuan was quite satisfied with the reform of the imperial examination.
When the imperial examination reform was successful and the subsequent modern education system was established, a complete set of education and the imperial examination system would be perfected. Li Xuan did not dare to say how advanced this system was, but it was better than the current one. As for
If there are any problems, or if it doesn't adapt to the times in the future, then just change it.
Now, it just needs to be easier to use than before.
Li Xuan has always been pragmatic when it comes to various reforms, and he has never thought about creating a system that can last for hundreds of thousands of years. He does not think he has the ability to do that kind of thing.
Even many of the things he did were not considered hundreds of years from now. At most, they were considered for decades, and this is already considered very powerful. If it takes longer, who knows what will happen in the future.
Especially now that this era has its own, and according to Li Xuan's own prediction, no matter how bad things get in a few decades, it will at least enter the late stage of the steam engine industrial revolution, and maybe it will all step into the electrification era with one foot.
After all, it is on its own, constantly promoting the advancement of science and technology, and directly copying the successful experiences of later generations. It is not an exaggeration to take decades to develop to this level.
And this process will inevitably bring drastic changes to society and the entire world. Amid such drastic changes, no one dares to say that the system will be effective for a long time.
So what Li Xuan has to do is, no matter what, as long as it is useful now, it will be fine. As for the future, we will talk about it later.
Sometimes Li Xuan wonders if he has created so many new things and greatly supported the development of industry and commerce. Will he create a group of capitalists in the future, and then come out to overthrow himself, or overthrow his successor...
