The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 264
The Dahan Shipyard in Yangzhou has just produced the latest sail warship, which is even more majestic than the previous new warship.

As soon as Zheng Jing arrived, he caught up with the launching of the combined sailing warship.

"Woooooo!"

With the sound of horns, huge warships attacked by the sea.

Rumble.

With a huge sound, this latest warship is simply a fortress city. It can be equipped with 108 cannons and a crew of 850 people. It can store 20 kilograms of gunpowder and [-] kilograms of cannonballs on the ship. It can travel six times continuously at a time. months.

This battleship is about twenty feet long and five feet across, except that it looks a bit big.

Jung Kyung can't see any flaws at all.

"General, this latest warship is launched, please give the general a name!"

A small official from the shipyard came over and said.

According to the rules, there must be a big person to name it, and usually the commander of the Yangzhou Navy is named.

Now that Zheng Jing is the new governor of Yangzhou, it is natural to have a name.

"With this ship, our Han Navy is invincible in the world. There is no other way but victory. Why not call it Victory." Zheng Jing said loudly.

"victory?"

"That's right, it's the Victory!"

"General, what a name!"

Immediately afterwards, the battleship Victory, which can be called the symbol of the invincibility of the Han Navy, was officially launched in Yangzhou.

"Hurry up, I don't need such a huge Victory, I only need ten warships, and I can go to the New World and fulfill my wish."

While Zheng Jing was training troops and building ships in Yangzhou, he was anxiously waiting for Liu Bian's order.

Luoyang.

Liu Bian's voyage to the West was naturally on a whim.

He originally planned to go to Tianzhu, Persia and Patia by sea to Rome.

Since you are going, you must be prepared for a grand voyage to the West.

Before that, it is natural to make good preparations.

Apart from preparing ships and sailors in Yangzhou, the rest is to deal with internal affairs.

Inside the palace.

Liu Bian summoned his close ministers and began an important imperial meeting.

"I have already planned to start a new reform of the imperial examination. If there is no imperial examination in the future, there will be no way to become an official." Liu Bian said.

After hearing this, everyone agreed.

In the current Han Dynasty, not only the economy has recovered very well, but even education has advanced by leaps and bounds.

In particular, Liu Bian proposed that after printing, all kinds of books in the whole Han Dynasty would already be too cheap.

As long as they are ordinary people, they can afford books.

The original aristocratic family's idea of ​​monopolizing knowledge and then monopolizing official positions all came to nothing.

Now in the world of Han, anyone who wants to be an official can buy a book and learn from it.

This book is a Chinese dictionary!

There are not only various words on it, but also various example sentences.

As long as you learn how to use a Chinese dictionary, there will be no illiterate people in the world.

Of course, it is only limited to those who want to be officials. If you are a scholar, this level is still far behind.

Liu Bian's Han Dynasty eliminated the previous disadvantages in one fell swoop, and no longer only focused on the selection of high-level officials, but paid more attention to the selection of low-level officials.

"From now on, the pavilion chiefs and village chiefs of the Han Dynasty will be included in the official assessment, and there will be no distinction between officials and officials. Anyone has to do this."

Liu Bian's plan is to ensure that the imperial power can go to the countryside.

Only in this way can the aristocratic family not monopolize the village.

"The new imperial examination requires not only a literary test, but also a martial arts test. After all, so many Protectorate Houses need talents." Liu Bian said immediately.

"Your Majesty, how do we test martial arts?" Zhang Juzheng was a little puzzled.

"If it's an article test, you can comment on it one by one. If it's a martial arts test, there's nothing you can do except go on stage." Yan Baihu was a little puzzled.

"Haha, I've already thought about it, and I can take separate exams for both civil and military skills." Liu Bian said.

"Your Majesty, how do we separate?" Zhang Juzheng was puzzled.

"In the future, the civil examinations will examine the essentials of the scriptures, as well as the laws promulgated by me, administration, geography, astronomy and calendar, etc. In addition, some martial arts will also be assessed, such as horse riding, archery or musket." Liu Bian said.

In the current Han Dynasty, gun technology has achieved rapid development.

For example, Luoyang's latest musket can already be fired with flint, and it also has fixed ammunition.

A skilled musketeer can make two shots within 1 minute.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and Liu Bian believes that it can be done better and faster.

Therefore, the current muskets and bows and arrows are already in parallel in the Han army.

"Horseback riding, musket or bow and arrow? Your Majesty, if this is the case, wouldn't there be many talents who are weaker than this project and will be eliminated?" Yan Baihu was a little worried.

"Hey, if they are eliminated, it means they are not good enough, and they can't blame others. These things can be practiced. If they fail once, they will pass the exam two years later." Liu Bian said.

The latest imperial examination in the Han Dynasty is basically every two years. After all, being an official in the imperial examination is the most enthusiastic thing in the world.

"What about the martial arts imperial examination?" Zhang Juzheng asked again.

"Martial arts imperial examination, that is to focus on martial arts, horseback archery, infantry or water combat, offense or defense, military strategy, all these are compulsory. In addition, it is good to test some running script orders It is." Liu Bian said.

This is the martial arts examination of the big man, and those selected must be suitable talents who can write and write.

"The way out for the martial arts examination is for officers from various states and counties, as well as officers from various governorates. If they want to become generals, then they have to work hard. It is impossible to achieve success in one step."

"In the same way, those civil and imperial examinations are also like this. After everyone wins the exam, they all start at the level of pavilion chief. They can manage a few villages well before they pass the assessment."

Liu Bian said.

One of the big drawbacks of the ancient imperial examinations in history is that these scholars started too high.

A low-level Jinshi, once awarded an official position, can start at the sub-county level.

In the situation of studying hard in that kind of cold window, he almost didn't hear anything outside the window. As soon as he took office, he was at the level of deputy county magistrate, and there were not many people who could really do a good job.

Once you can't do it well, you will immediately become an official.

But Liu Bian directly asked them to start from the bottom, no matter how poorly they did it, there were only a few villages.

If you do well, you can naturally improve.

Therefore, the assessment system of the Han Dynasty needs to be further formulated.

"From today onwards, I will appoint Zhuge Liang as the chief inspector censor, who will specialize in assessing the officials of the Great Han Dynasty. The subsequent selection criteria will be handled by the empress and crown prince who supervises the country when I am not around."
