Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140 175. Implementation of Imperial Examinations
After lunch, all civil and military officials entered the government office again. The dozens of officials and generals who stayed in the government office before already knew the theme of the afternoon, but those who came in later were at a loss.

Especially Dian Wei, who looked like he had taken a stimulant, and Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu were also flushed.

Wang Hao: "Han Mo, please tell everyone about the new law!"

Han Mo: "Shortly after I first came to the lord's command, the lord asked me to participate in the legislation..."

Dian Wei: "Han Diancao don't need to talk anymore, the lord tells you to say it!"

Wang Hao: "Dianwei must not be presumptuous, if you don't want to participate in the discussion, get out..."

Hu Che'er: "Hehe..."

Hu Che'er stood behind Wang Hao and bared his teeth at Dian Wei in mockery. Dian Wei knew that Wang Hao had no other intentions, but Dian Wei still felt unhappy when he was mocked by Hu Che'er. He had always been able to suppress Hu Che'er. My son, he seems to be getting more and more active lately!
Han Mo: "Hehe, General Dian is right, I am hypocritical.

The following is the first item of this discussion, canceling the recruitment qualifications of the recruiting hall, and all princes who want to work in the future must pass the imperial examination, and the imperial examination system will be abolished..."

In the Han Dynasty, if you want to enter the court as an official, you must be filial and honest, which is the so-called inspection and enlistment, like Dong Zhuo enlisted Cai Yong as the grand master after entering Beijing.

Cai Yong, as a great Confucian in the world, can also take on the position of grand master. Emperor Ling of Han conscripted He Jin as a general because He Jin was his brother-in-law. He Jin, who was born as a butcher, has the ability to serve as the chief of all officials. The first general.

Wang Hao dislikes this system very much, especially if he wants to establish a dynasty, he must not continue to use this system, otherwise he will follow the old path of the Han Dynasty.

In the prosperous period, it seems to be full of vitality. Once it reaches the later stage, the old tree that is ordinary and rotten will be uprooted with a slight push. What Wang Hao wants is a ten thousand year dynasty!
Even the later nine-rank Zhongzheng system was a deformation of the imperial examination system. After a high-ranking person entered the officialdom, he could start from a very high official position and be promoted quickly.

After the low-ranking people enter the officialdom, they can only start from the low-level officials, and the promotion is very slow. This is why the family members are so proud, and the students from the poor families are rarely in the top.

Yang Jian, like the First Emperor, were both powerful men who unified the world, but they did not hold on to their own empire, because many systems were wrapped up in layers and were restricted by aristocratic families and clans.

Xu Shu: "As soon as the imperial examination system comes out, it will certainly cause some twists and turns, especially for those scholars who are corrupt and scholarly, and who have already been in the world..."

Wang Hao: "Cao Mengde can only use his talents. I have even done such a shameful thing as the academy, so what if I create another imperial examination?"

Lu Xun: "If the imperial examination system is really implemented, I believe the lord will recruit a group of junior elites, but those who have been officials for many years..."

Wang Hao: "It's time for them to go back and take care of their old age. I don't think they can't do it without anyone. The key is that they have to put themselves in the right position and do extraordinary things in extraordinary times..."

Whether it is the inspection system or the expropriation system, except for the chiefs of the prefectures and counties, who are appointed by the imperial court, the rest of the bureaucrats are hired by themselves, that is, they are recruited.

This kind of system is prone to local emperors, especially in those border areas. After a long time, the people forget what the emperor's surname is.

Coupled with the policy of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, it not only provides convenience for those local emperors, but also gives them free resources. The reason why the Han Dynasty is today, Kaifu Yitong Sansi is a big disaster.

If there is no Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the Yuan family's so-called four generations and three princes are just a joke, because Kaifu Yitong Sansi, coupled with the disadvantages of expropriating bureaucrats, can control the government of the Yuan family, and the disciples and former officials are all over the world.

Xu Shu: "The local government has too much power in personnel affairs. My lord wants to take back the power in personnel affairs. This subordinate can understand that if all officials are to be appointed by the court's official department, then wouldn't the three princes and nine ministers in the central government..."

Wang Hao: "Do you think the imperial examination is only for the selection of officials? Han Mo, go on..."

Han Mo: "After the implementation of the imperial examination system, all other officials will be removed from the Ministry of Officials, and the imperial court will be tested every year. The state shepherds, prefects, and county magistrates will be moved every three years, and the assistant officials will be moved every four years."

Xu Shu: "Isn't this messed up? A chief recorder who is engaged in clerical work can't be appointed as the prefect after being promoted, but the imperial examination is held every year. What is the proof?"

Xi Zhicai also couldn't understand the imperial examinations. Since there is still a saying of relocation every three years, a county magistrate can't be promoted all the way to the state pastoral, so what position will the state pastoral be promoted to?

Wang Hao: "The world is the world of the people in the world. There is a saying that water can carry a boat and overturn it. The purpose of the imperial examination system at the beginning is to provide channels for ordinary people to become officials, and also to prevent many poor children who are underappreciated from being buried." .

In today's general environment, this is already the best way, because the imperial examination is undoubtedly the fairest method. Even if there are still various hidden dangers in the imperial examination, it is still much better than the supervision and conscription system. "

Water can carry a boat and can also overturn it!

This sentence came out of Wang Hao's mouth, and everyone on the sixth floor fell into deep thought. They could vaguely understand the meaning, but they couldn't grasp the key points.

Even Han Mo was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Wang Hao would have such an idea, this era is still the era of the political center with the power of the emperor, these words are indeed hundreds of thousands of years ahead of the promotion, but there is a deep meaning in it!

Wenpin: "According to my lord, all officials have a term of office, and they have to be assessed every year. What about the officials who fail the examination, or military generals?"

Wang Hao: "Today, we will first discuss the entry system for civil management, and we will inform you about the military affairs later..."

Wang Hao will also carry out reforms in the management of the army. The military system is absolutely unreasonable, even the current generals, Qubu and other plans are unreasonable. Since Wang Hao has decided to make major changes, the military and government will naturally have to be reformed.

Xi Zhicai: "If the imperial examination is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, if officials recommend it or if there is a problem with the Ministry of Officials, then..."

Han Mo: "Even the bureaucrats can't cheat, the township exam is a preliminary exam, and the prefects of each county will supervise the exam.

After passing the provincial examination, enter the imperial examination. The imperial examination is supervised by the state shepherd and the general. Hundreds of imperial examination students are selected to enter the Imperial Palace examination.

At this time, the lord and all the adults will invigilate the exam, and those who have outstanding grades will be appointed by the lord to be appointed officials. "

The imperial examination system is equivalent to recruiting from across the country. It is not just a matter of meritocracy, but allows different people to display their abilities in different positions.

The recognition and support of the imperial examination emperor is also equivalent to the general approval and acceptance of the people. The imperial examinations are related to power, prestige, honor and wealth. Wang Hao does not believe that the common people will not accept it!

Zhang Yi: "My lord's move completely cut off the aristocratic family and the aristocratic family. Will it arouse their side resistance?"

Wang Hao: "In troubled times, important codes should be used. When Shang Yang reformed and the First Emperor burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, all the things that were said to be impossible were realized one by one. The Great Wall could be cast and built, so why did the imperial examination fail? Can't adapt?"

Lu Xun: "Anyone who is not convinced can stand up, I want to see..."

Hu Che'er: "If there is such a person, shouldn't we take action?"

Hu Che'er and Lu Xun are already boiling with blood. This time Wang Hao's reform is about three years later, and he will never make a compromise because of some people's unwillingness or discomfort. carry on!
