Chapter 553

"So that's it, this is the imperial examination!" Liu Ting paced back and forth in the palace, and it was obvious that he was really excited at the moment.At the same time, Meng Jian, who was reporting below, and Shen Ye, who was serving as a staff officer, were silently waiting.

In fact, not to mention Liu Ting, Shen Ye can also clearly realize that this so-called imperial examination system will really change the employment policy of the big man.However, to popularize scientific examinations, there must also be very strict conditions.

The first is to have enough colleges to teach, and the other is to maximize literacy.Without a sufficient student base, even if the imperial examinations were offered, in the end it would be nothing more than allowing the children of those aristocratic families to enter the imperial court openly.

The second is the follow-up money and food. Li Ming is really rich and powerful, so he took out so much money and food in one go to support so many candidates.If it were them, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to take out so much.If you get less, it will make the examinees feel cold. After all, patriotism cannot be eaten as a meal. If the treatment is not good, others will think that the court does not value them or education.

"This is a conspiracy!" Before Liu Ting could speak, Shen Ye had no choice but to stand up, "Even if we want to prepare for the scientific examination, there will be five years before we can't do it!"

Liu Ting is not stupid, especially since Shen Ye stood up before he spoke, he would naturally continue to think.In the end, I realized that this was a conspiracy. The later the imperial court held the imperial examination, it would be over, and if it was held too early, it would be over.

"How come Li Ming and the others managed it?" Liu Ting frowned suddenly.

"My lord, Li Ming started printing books six years ago, that is, in Xin Weinian, and a large number of cheap books flooded the market. Three years later, the literacy rate in the Jiangdong area increased from less than [-]% to [-]%. Kuaiji Academy was further expanded. After another three years, after six years of accumulation, the proportion of scholars from poor families and even ordinary people has increased again. In addition, this scientific examination is aimed at the whole country, and there are many children from foreign aristocratic families. The two camps check each other, and Li Ming benefits from being in the middle. Because of this, he can hold the scientific examination without any scruples. Even with so many candidates, it can completely make up for the shortage of educational personnel. In this way, the imperial examination three years later, only It will become more formal." Shen Ye replied based on the information collected in the past few years.

"Even Li Ming, it took six years to achieve this step! Our side will also spend six years, but if the scientific examination is not held for more than three years, I am afraid that many people's hearts will be chilled. On the contrary, the aristocratic family may have some opinions." Shen Ye finally concluded.

"Speaking of them, someone proposed today that the imperial court should also hold a scientific examination, and Li Ming should not be allowed to be superior. Guess who proposed it?" Liu Ting snorted coldly, "Yang Biao, it's that Yang Biao again!" !"

"This humble official did some research, and it was Wang Yun who really proposed, and Yang Biao was just pushed out. For Yang Biao, if this matter can be facilitated, his reputation among the aristocratic families will be greatly improved, and he is naturally willing to be This gun!" Shen Ye replied.

"Li Ming, you can stir up wind and rain like this in a scientific examination!" Liu Ting suddenly exploded in anger.I really wanted to vent, but then realized that Meng Jian was still there, so I pretended to be calm and let him go down.

Naturally, Meng Jian also realized that it was not appropriate to continue to stay here, so he said goodbye and left.

"What should we do now? Those Sangongjiuqing are waiting for us to start the course, but you told them to wait for six years, they are not stupid, how can they not know our plan? How did Li Ming make the following family obey? "Liu Ting also felt a headache.

"Yes, the imperial examination must be held! The imperial court is short of people, but it needs a preparation period!" Shen Ye thought for a while, "Maybe one year, maybe two years, we are the imperial court, and the imperial examination is naturally to be held by all the big men. Otherwise, it would be outrageous!"

After a pause, he continued: "Since the scale is large, there are many things that need to be prepared, such as accommodation, examination rooms and examination papers... Yes, we can even announce to the public that we can consider conducting a 'mock scientific examination' before that." '. To put it simply, it is to announce the matter by posting for the north and south of the river. The exam will be held in March next year, and the ratio between the aristocratic family and the poor family will be divided to ensure that there will be a group of poor families. At the same time, we will encourage schools. We don’t have much food, but money is There are quite a few.

After a year of mixing like this, it can be dragged on for three years.Within three years, we will gradually restructure the Guozijian and further expand the scale of the school. Anyway, we have money, but the price is also obvious. It is estimated that we will not be able to attack the outside world within three years. "

"Children from aristocratic families will inevitably gather. How to attract the poor, especially the talented ones, and even ordinary people to come and refer? So what, control the so-called ratio?" Liu Ting was a little puzzled.

"It's simple, you only need to send me as the chief examiner, and at the same time arrange two courtiers who are absolutely loyal to His Majesty to invigilate the examination. Meng Jian doesn't even know how they grade the papers, so how we grade the papers is not up to us? "Shen Ye said with a little complacency.

"Is the internal operation... feasible? If it is leaked, who will take the exam in the future?" Liu Ting was a little worried.

"Is there really a problem with Li Ming? Many people who wrote bad things about him in the exam papers were picked out by him. If we take our imperial examination, if it doesn't meet our needs, so what?" Shen Ye laughed. Laughing, he sent more than a dozen people to abuse Li Ming in the exam papers. Sure enough, all of them failed the rankings, but this was enough to give him an excuse.

After thinking for a while, he added: "In terms of remuneration, we must be on par with Li Ming, at least equal, otherwise, others may say that our imperial court is stingy. Didn't Li Ming say that he was doing the experiment for the imperial court? ?In that case, after the exam in March, send out more school booklets, and tell those students that the whole territory of Dahan is universal!"

"Ha, when the time comes, these candidates will all go to Li Ming to receive the subsidy. Li Ming's face must be very exciting!" Liu Ting immediately clapped his hands and applauded.

He did what he said, and after the two discussed it, they began to act quickly.At the court meeting the next day, Liu Ting gave an answer on the matter of the imperial examination. The conclusion was: the big man needs the imperial examination system to select talents. At the same time, in March next year, a "mock imperial examination" will be held, and it will be converted into a formal imperial examination three years later. .

Yang Biao didn't expect Liu Ting to agree so quickly, he only felt that there was something suspicious in it, but now he can only see the tricks.

A large number of soldiers began to leave Chang'an and set off to all the states and counties of the Han Dynasty to convey the imperial court's will.One month later, across the country, news soon spread that the imperial court approved Duke Chu's imperial examination, but withheld the results.

At the same time, a "mock imperial examination" will be held in Chang'an in March next year, and those who pass the exam will get a school record that will be used throughout the country.

For a while, the candidates who were preparing for the children's entrance examination in March next year suddenly made up their minds.After all, on Li Ming's side, he had to start as a child, but if he went to the imperial court...not to mention, the nationwide school registers sounded a bit taller.

"Continue to announce..." Li Ming naturally also received the news, and was also affected by Liu Ting's methods, "We also recognize the imperial court's student records, but if you want to exchange subsidies, you must settle in the local area and this cannot be changed! "

"Haha, this time I want the imperial court to steal chickens and lose money!" Guo Jia said with a smile. The imperial court's reaction did not exceed their expectations, but the national general school booklet is indeed a bit disgusting. .

 My head hurts...the swelling pain...
