Chapter 164 Gold List Title
In Zhang Ming's plan, Taixue is equivalent to a college of higher learning. The imperial court recruits scholars from all over the country through the Taixue examination, and then through the systematic education of Taixue, the students will eventually learn something and be assigned to the grassroots to serve as officials at all levels. .

Compared with imperial examinations to obtain scholars, this system is actually better. It reduces the burden of learning for students. Under the training of the imperial court, as long as you can be admitted to Taixue, it is not a burden to study again, because the imperial court bears all the study expenses.

In the past, Zhang Ming also thought about the way to obtain scholars through the imperial examination, but the imperial examination eventually went into decline, and the family pressure faced by the imperial examination candidates was very heavy, which meant that without cutting off the foundation of the family, he wanted to To apply the imperial examinations on a large scale is simply a dream.

However, the foundation of the family has a history of hundreds of years, and the court can survive until now, and it is often the strength of the family, so if you want to cut down the foundation of the family, the court needs to reform again and again, but reform is never an easy task matter.

Whether it is Shang Yang's reform or Zhang Juzheng's reform in later generations, the price paid is extremely high, so Zhang Ming can accept the reform, but in the case of unstable conditions, all system reforms must be careful and careful.

In short, this time the Taixue Examination did not cause much disturbance. The main reason is that the Taixue Examination is not directly linked to the selection of scholars. For the aristocratic family, what they really care about is to obtain a scholar. I realize that when the way of admission has changed, even if the way of obtaining a scholar has not changed, the scholar has fundamentally changed.

This is the real dredging from the bottom of the pot, and it is more thorough than the imperial examination.

Not only the officials of the imperial court did not realize this, but the students who sat down to answer the questions probably did not realize this. Even Jia Xu and Li Ru thought that the large-scale examination was just to save the resources of the imperial court. After all, there were more than 9000 students. , Only 2000 people were recruited to enter Taixue, and the imperial court provided food and drink. For a dilapidated imperial court, there was indeed a lot of pressure.

Zhang Ming silently looked at the students below. Most of these students were bowing their heads to answer. Only a few students couldn't answer. They could only look up at the sky, as if there was an answer in the sky. Although it was a bit funny, it was true.

For the students in the examination room, this is the first time they have seen such good quality paper, but after thinking about it, it is normal for the imperial court to use such good paper in order to show their strength. As everyone knows, these papers are the daily paper in the palace. , but there is no large-scale production, and the output is limited.

Today's imperial court has replaced bamboo slips with paper, but these are limited to the imperial court. Zhang Ming, like other aristocratic families, strives to control the production of paper. Although paper can generate huge profits, it is easy to offend the aristocratic family, so within a small range Production and use are purely for the convenience of the imperial court.

The afternoon exam ended as scheduled. After all the exam papers were collected, all the students could leave the exam room completely.

After all the students left the examination room, Zhang Ming also stepped off the high platform, and this important Chang'an general election was over.

"Teacher, what do you think of the exam papers in the morning, handed over to the doctor of Taixue for review?" Zhang Ming said as he walked.

"Your Majesty, there are only more than 30 doctors in Taixue, and more than 9000 test papers. Can they review it? I think it's better to give it to the doctor's disciples for review." Yang Biao shook his head involuntarily.

"No, although doctoral students are also capable of reviewing test papers, but this time, we must respect this group of students. Doctoral students are not qualified." Zhang Ming also shook his head.

In the past Taixue, it was an honor to be a doctor's student, but compared with a doctor's student, there is still a big difference. Zhang Ming is not worried about a doctor's student, but he doesn't want a doctor to not even participate in this kind of thing. In the future, there will still be many places in Taixue that need a doctor's contribution.

In short, doctors should not be immersed in the study of the Five Classics, and they need to be more involved in grassroots affairs. Only in this way, doctors will not always be superior.

"Your Majesty, you may need to tell these doctors about this matter. Before that, I only informed them to come to Chang'an Taixue to teach, but didn't tell them to participate in the evaluation." Yang Biao said helplessly.

Yang Biao actually saw His Majesty’s adjustments to the Taixue. Many times, he didn’t quite understand why His Majesty didn’t follow the previous Taixue’s operation, but kept making changes, and there were many changes. Yang Biao I have never seen it at all, even with his many years of experience as an official, it is still very strange.

"Okay, I will discuss this matter with the imperial servant She Caiyong, but the examination papers in the afternoon will be reviewed by the Taifu and others." Zhang Ming said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Biao nodded.

The two examination papers were reviewed by two groups of people. The morning examination papers were reviewed by Taixue doctors, because they are more familiar with the Five Classics and other Confucian classics, and the professionalism of the examination papers was higher, while the afternoon examination papers were reviewed by high-ranking officials with more than [-] shi in the imperial court. , These people are better at current affairs, caring for the people, and governance. After the two reviews are completed, the total score will be calculated, and the top [-] will be selected for the Taixue.

In addition to these 2000 people, high-ranking officials with a salary of more than 20 shi in the imperial court can choose [-] people from their families to enter Taixue. right.

Therefore, there are about 500 Tai students in a class. This number is not too much. After all, there are no less than [-] county towns in just one department of Sili Xiaowei, and there are county magistrates, county lieutenants, and guards In the past, many of these positions were filled by local officials, rather than appointed by the imperial court.

This is very detrimental to the imperial court's control over the local area. After all, in the past, local grassroots officials had little to do with the imperial court. It is difficult for these people to feel the court's kindness to them, and naturally they do not have a strong sense of belonging to the imperial court. .

Education is both a right and an obligation. Zhang Ming has a deep understanding of this. Through education, students' impression of the imperial court can be subtly changed, and students' sense of identity with the Han court can be strengthened. At the same time, the family attributes of the students themselves can be further weakened. These students have completely become the grassroots officials of the court, not the grassroots officials of the aristocratic family.

This is different from the selection of scholars through the imperial examination. Although the influence of the aristocratic family has been weakened by the imperial examination, the feelings of fellow villagers have not been weakened. Students won the Jinshi and will not thank the imperial court.But under the Imperial Academy, the teacher of the student is a member of the imperial court, and the hometown of the student is Chang'an. In the future, even if they are officials at the grassroots level in other places, they will firmly remember the days of studying in the Imperial Academy.

Unlike coming to Dongxiang quietly in the morning, on the way back, Zhang Ming let the guard of honor show his might, and the sound of the horn was like the sound of nature. Need extravagance, need gorgeous, need publicity.

Zhang Ming, who returned to the Gaomen Hall, directly chose to rest. Standing on the high platform and looking down at the students all over the world, his energy consumption was very high.

It's a pity that the night market in Chang'an City has not yet been opened, otherwise the students who have just finished their exams will definitely be able to create economic growth for the people of Chang'an.

When it comes to the night market, it's not that Zhang Ming doesn't want to open it up, but that the income of the people in Chang'an is not enough to open the night market. The night market has its value only after food and clothing are resolved, and it's too early to open it now.

The next day, Zhang Ming called Cai Yong.

"Tai Xue Pu She, I need to ask you for something, I hope everyone in Cai can help." Zhang Ming said with a smile.

"I'm afraid, I don't know what your majesty needs me to do?" Cai Yong said slowly.

"It's not a big deal, but I hope that this time the test papers of the students can be reviewed by the doctor, not the student of the doctor." Zhang Ming said lightly.

"Your Majesty, why?" Cai Yong asked curiously.

"I feel that the way of Taixue in the past is not suitable and needs to be changed. A doctoral student must either become a lecturer of Taixue or go to the grassroots to practice. He should not always follow a doctor." Zhang Ming's first cut was at the doctoral student.

In the past, the title of doctor was very rare in Taixue, and it was often necessary for a person who had achieved enough achievements in the Five Classics to become a doctor. However, it was not easy, so for the vast majority of students, doctoral students were their highest ability. reached level.

However, there is a high degree of correlation between doctoral students and doctors. This is not conducive to the imperial court's education of imperial students. After all, the imperial education that Zhang Ming hopes is to make these students become members of the imperial court, not doctors. It means that doctoral students must be cut off.

"Your Majesty, this is a little inappropriate. The doctor's disciples have been using it for hundreds of years, but now it is too sudden to cut it off." Cai Yong said helplessly.

"Cai Yong, now you are a servant of Taixue. What you need to consider is the future of Taixue, not the past of Taixue. I ask you, Taixue needs to grow and develop. If it is done by a doctor Education, how will Taixue grow and develop?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Today, there are only more than 30 doctors in Taixue, but this year it can recruit [-] students. In the past, after students became doctoral students in Taixue, many doctors only cared about studying the Five Classics, but could not spare time to educate students. The quality of students is generally not high, under such circumstances, how can Taixue grow and develop?" Zhang Ming asked twice.

Although Cai Yong is a master, he is not a doctor, so he does not have much awe for the doctor. Nowadays, there are not many real masters in the field of scholars in the Han Dynasty. Cai Yong is one, and Lu Zhi is one. Zheng Xuan counted as one, and the Ph.D. of Taixue was nothing compared to these three.

For example, Li Ru used to be a doctor of Taixue, but in terms of profound knowledge, compared with Cai Yong, it is simply the difference between stars and the sun, so even a doctor of Taixue respects Cai Yong very much.

Cai Yong, as a servant of the imperial school, has no reason to speak for the doctor, let alone speak for the doctor's disciples. In his opinion, these doctoral students are not much different from ordinary students. If it is not for the name of the doctor, these People are actually very ordinary.

"I understand. After I go back, I will evaluate these doctoral students. Those who pass the test will stay as lecturers of the Taixue. Those who fail can only be educated as students. As for the test papers, I will persuade them Let the Taixue doctor review it." Cai Yong cupped his hands and said.

After a night of sorting out, the commander of the imperial guards led hundreds of elite imperial guards to complete the sealing of the test papers, and then he asked the imperial guards to hand over the morning test papers and afternoon test papers to the imperial servant She Cai Yong and the Taifu respectively. Yang Biao.

Most of the students in Chang'an City are already packing their luggage. After all, they can still feel how well they answered.

Of course, those students who answered well are now making more friends. After all, when they go to Taiyuan Academy in the future, it is always good to have one more friend, not to mention the enthusiasm of young people to make friends has always been very high.

"Brother Yuan Zhi, how did you do yesterday's test questions? I see that everyone else is packing their bags, why don't you go?" Zhuge Jin said jokingly.

"Brother Ziyu, although I am not as good as you in reading, I still have confidence in yesterday's exam," Xu Shu said.

"That's good, that's right. How about we all go to a Ph.D. when we go to Taiyuan College?" Zhuge Jin said with a smile.

"Okay, I also hope that brother Ziyu can give me more advice." Xu Shu said.

The current Xu Shu is far inferior to Zhuge Jin in terms of talent and learning, but Xu Shu is smart and has a strong learning ability. It is hard to say what will happen in the future.

Although there are a lot of [-] test papers, they can be corrected very quickly when there are standard answers.

As far as the imperial court was concerned, it took a total of three days to completely revise these examination papers. As for Taixue, it took Cai Yong a day to persuade these doctors to review them. Assessment work.

So on the fifth day after the exam, the test papers on both sides have been reviewed and sent to the palace. After that, the eunuchs in the palace added up the scores of these test papers, and finally it took another day to count the top two thousand. name test paper.

"Cui Ming, prepare two gold lists. Each gold list needs to be able to hold the names of a thousand people, and then write the names of these 2000 people on it in order of their scores." Zhang Ming said slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Ming answered with cupped hands.

Soon, two gold lists were prepared. The first gold list was from No.1 to the thousandth place, and the second gold list was from the one thousand one hundred and one to two thousand. Afterwards, Cui Ming urged the imperial army to The commander posted these two gold lists in the places with the largest traffic in Chang'an City.

Even if there is no name on the gold list, these two gold lists are very attractive. After all, such a large gold list requires a very high production process, and such a large gold list requires Ma Jun's improved edge machine to be produced. of.

Gold List No.1 is a name that is neither unfamiliar nor unfamiliar. Zhang Ming knows this name. He is Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang's brother. Although he is not as famous as Zhuge Liang, he is also an outstanding figure of his generation. The influence of Wu State is very huge.
