Chapter four hundred and twentieth eight exam propaganda
At the beginning of the troubled times, among the people who went to Liaodong to escape disaster, who were the most shining? Moral gentlemen, role models in the world!
For example, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Bai Tu who were in Liaodong also recognized their character and their moral governance.
However, most of the famous scholars and talents who went to Liaodong to avoid trouble were such "gentlemen of virtue rule" who were not suitable for troubled times. Moreover, in the beginning, Liaodong did have simple folk customs, so rule of virtue had a great effect.
This makes the Gongsun family believe in the rule of virtue - of course, they themselves do not pay attention to the rule of virtue, and they believe in horses and guns to the outside world, but they hope to educate the people about the rule of virtue...
In the whole of China, the one who believes in rule of virtue the most now is Liaodong, which everyone thought was a "barren land" before!
Of course, it would be useless for Baitu to tell them these words.
The Chu State's Ministry of Punishment is still unable to completely regain the power of law enforcement at the grassroots level. It has only made it clear that the chariots and horses will be "robbed", let alone other princes - they are not willing to do it, but they are unable to do so.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Tu also specifically mentioned: "After all, this is the first time, and these test questions cannot be perfect. There will be a 'study test' next year, and not only friends from all walks of life are welcome to visit, but also... children from all walks of life are welcome to come.
Apply for the exam in Chu State."
Liu Ye and Jian Yong had already roughly known what the "study test" was all about. Liu Yi and others were still a little confused. Zhang Chunhua also took the initiative to explain to everyone at this time. Naturally, Bai Tu would not waste any time explaining "common sense".
Generally speaking, the scientific examination is "entry into officialdom", while the academic examination is just "entrance". The level seems to be quite different, but everyone who already knows about "university", how can they not understand the meaning?
Of course, because the scale of the academic examination is too large, it is impossible for everyone to come to Jinling to take the scientific examination like the "imperial examination", and it is even less possible for the entire Chu State to have a set of test papers and start the examination at the same time...
Rather, each university conducts its own assessment and screening of students. As long as you can afford the travel expenses and arrange your itinerary reasonably, it is not a problem to take the academic examinations of several different universities a year.
The university is directly under the Ministry of Rites. The "Xue Ling" who is directly in charge and other academic officials at the core of management are all officials of the Ministry of Rites. The academic examination process is directly supervised by the Ministry of Punishments. Every year in each university, all candidates must write the same paper and have the same score line.
, leaking questions is punishable by revealing confidential important matters, and the final teaching results are also assessed by the Ministry of Personnel.
Universities were originally called "county schools". Normally, there was only one in a county, and there were only about twenty in the entire Chu State. Those who were famous and promising could be counted in one hand, so there was no need to worry about not being able to monitor them.
After Zhang Chunhua finished speaking, everyone showed a look of surprise, regardless of whether they knew about the academic test before...
Jian Yong stood up directly, bowed his head and said: "King Chu Renyi! Could it be that... all universities can apply for admission regardless of their background?"
In fact, the imperial examination also welcomed outside scholars...
It's just that it's a loss for other princes - it's their own talents who serve as officials in Chu!
As for planting spies?
Ahem, of course it’s done.
However, according to the imperial examination rules of the Chu State, only the "First Class" will admit talents from outside the Chu State, that is, the top young talents who directly enter the Six Ministries to observe politics!
The second armor assigned local officials, the third armor recommended civil servants, and these only hired Chu scholars...
Talented people who can pass the first-level exam are actually assigned to be spies? Are they even really willing to be spies?
Not to mention how low the probability is, and now Chu State also welcomes nobles from the Central Plains and the north to move into Chu State.
It's just that the level of second-class or third-class is not very difficult. If you don't want to move your whole family and come to Chu State specifically to be a civil servant, it would be too suspicious and you won't be accepted.
However, the concepts of "Xue Kao" and "Imperial Examination" are different. After the Xue Kao, you will not be an official in the State of Chu, but you will have to enter a university!
It is conceivable that the Chu State will try its best to recruit and retain outstanding people among them, but there will definitely be people who will not be recruited by the Chu State and are willing to return to their hometown to serve as officials and contribute.
Isn't this a great opportunity to "purchase" Chu's craftsmanship?
Normally, people who sneak into secret places, instigate craftsmen, and hope to learn secretly would be detained by the Chu State or even disappear mysteriously. Now, as long as they are admitted, they can go to the university to study openly for three years?
Some of these subjects are coveted by them!
"Of course not all..." Bai Tu's words dampened everyone's enthusiasm. If it only teaches the meaning of the scriptures and does not involve the craftsmanship, then the meaning will be much less.
But then Bai Tu said: "Jiangwu University has its own process standards for registration, and other universities can apply."
Suddenly everyone's enthusiasm returned again...
What is Jiangwu University?
The only university that teaches military strategy and strategy.
It is a university affiliated to the "Jianwu Hall" directly under the Privy Council, and the "Jianwu Hall" is a place for advanced training for middle-level and junior generals in the military.
The source of students at Jiangwu University is naturally more rigorous. No one expected that even Jiangwu University in Chu State would be completely open to the public!
What Bai Tu said was that only Jiangwu University was the exception, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
"However, I also have two points to say. Students from outside the Chu State who want to enroll in school have only two options. One is to enter Chu together with their wives, children, parents;
The second is to bear the full tuition fee by yourself. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will not subsidize it, and it will be much more expensive than students from Chu State... Therefore, I hope that after passing the exam, some candidates will present their admission letters and wish to relocate their families.
Stop it, otherwise Chu State reserves the right to expel all second-category students." Bai Tu opened his mouth and put down his harsh words.
Although the people who came were all envoys and not the core think tanks of their respective camps, everyone could understand the profound meaning after listening to Bai Tu's words.
It's nothing more than an exchange...
The university accepts students from other forces, but the prerequisite is that students who want to move to Chu State must be allowed by all parties, otherwise other students will go back and forth wherever they want.
With the ability of the various princes, including the Chu State, to control the border, they cannot stop those who are determined to leave and leave alone. Even a large part of the princes cannot even control the powerful smugglers' caravans -
- People have long since opened up the joints and coexisted with the princes and forces.
However, it is more difficult for ordinary people to migrate with their entire family, and it depends on luck.
This kind of condition is not something that the envoys can decide, but if they think about it themselves, they feel that the condition is not too harsh...
After all, students who are willing to move to Chu State in order to reduce tuition fees must come from poor families and have no other way out in their hometown. More importantly... they must be able to pass the exam!
Bai Tu wanted to open the border to everyone, but he also knew that the other princes would not agree. The borders would accept foreigners secretly.
Even Liu Ye and Jian Yong felt that these "losses" were nothing compared to the benefits this would bring to their families.
Of course, the white picture is obviously another set of ideas...
First of all, the university is a three-year institution, and what it can teach is actually not top-notch compared to the technology of the Ministry of Works. Further training is for internal training after the Ministry of Works.
Moreover, the moral values of Chu State, Chu Law, are the basic courses in all universities. Even if these people do not stay in Chu State after completing their studies, it does not matter. At least they have a certain sense of identification with Chu State.
In the future, naturally after the Chu State is unified, they can also help Chu State complete its internal integration faster...
It is equivalent to the Chu State's swordsmanship stopping, but the process of unifying the world has not stopped, but is laying the foundation for the future!
