I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

"Okay, wait for the news from the north to send out troops in isolation." Liu Feng was overjoyed and ordered.

"No." Everyone suddenly agreed.

Chapter 5: The System of Filial Piety and Honesty

Lu Su had the idea of ​​revenge, but Liu Feng might not have it.

Thinking back in Xudu, Liu Feng relied on his own age to act mischievously, causing Cao Cao to suffer a lot of secret losses.But when it came to the face-to-face confrontation, Cao Cao came to beat him every time.

Either the main attack or the auxiliary attack is really embarrassing.Now that the opportunity has come, I am naturally very happy.

However, even if this is the case, we still have to wait for the news from the north to be confirmed. It is true that the Tian family has been detained, and the whole family is about to be executed for crimes.He can send troops.

It will take at least half a month, so no matter how happy he is, Liu Feng can only wait.

In this waiting, time passed day by day.Liu Feng did not wait for the time to send troops, but he waited for another important thing.

On this day, Liu Feng was reading in the study as usual.

Sima Hui, Duke Pang De, and Huang Chengyan all came to pay their respects.

Liu Feng went out to greet them in person, led the three elders into the study, and then asked with a smile: "What wind brought the three old gentlemen here?"

This sentence is a bit light-hearted and joking.But the expectation in Liu Feng's eyes was extremely strong.

The three old men, since they came to Xinye, began to think about various matters of talent selection.In his free time, he would never come to see Liu Feng.

In order not to disturb the three of them, Liu Feng also did not go to see them.

It has been a long time now, but these three old men have all come to him, Liu Feng has already realized that all the matters of this talent selection have probably been completed.

"Fortunately, the old man did not disgrace his life and improved the system of selecting talents for His Highness today." Sima Hui smiled slightly and raised his fists.

While speaking, he pulled out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Feng.

Even though he knew, Liu Feng was still overjoyed.What is the problem that has plagued him for countless hours?Talent problem.Although there were supplements from various scholars in Jingzhou, it was accumulated by the prestige of the three elders.

There is no shortage of talents now, but ten years later, decades later, when Liu Feng's territory expands to an unimaginable extent?

So, there must be a steady stream of talents.A sound selection system is the foundation for continuously attracting talents.

In fact, there is a talent selection system in this era.That is the system of filial piety and honesty.Emperor Xiaowu ordered that every year, each county should select a filial and honest person to enter the court as an official.

This was a rudimentary form of selecting talents among the people, but later, when the Han Dynasty was weakened and all kinds of rapes, this filial piety was monopolized by the children of various aristocratic families.

In name only.

So, Liu Feng asked the three of them to improve.Now, here are the results.Whether there will be a steady stream of talents depends on this time.

Liu Feng couldn't wait to unfold the bamboo slips, looking at ten lines at a glance.

Gradually, Liu Feng's eyebrows became more and more relaxed, and his expression became more and more cheerful.

As the three elders themselves said, they only improved the selection system, but they are still the filial piety system.However, this filial piety system is not the same.

In a county, ten Xiaolians are selected every three years.This is a mandatory rule paid to each county sheriff.But this cannot be justified.

Because every three years there will be an exam in which the emperor personally examines the school.

From the filial piety and honesty in this world, one-third of the people will be selected as a talent reserve, or they will enter the court as officials, or they will be sent to other places.

Volume 131, Section 1041: Chapter 5-2 The System of Filial Piety and Integrity ([-])

And if Xiaolian sent by a certain county, the exam is too bad, there is fraud, the sheriff of that county, one word, beheaded.Not dismissed from office, only a simple, but full of efficiency cut.

To be honest, the selection system that the three elders came up with is actually somewhat similar to the imperial examinations of later generations.At the beginning, Liu Feng also considered the imperial examination.

This is a good way to break the monopoly of the gentry.But Liu Feng didn't do it right away because of many reasons.

On the one hand, it is the promotion of paper. Now the Han Dynasty already has Caihou paper, but because it is expensive, there is little circulation.Without paper, there would be no printing, so bamboo slips would have to be used, which is not only expensive, but also not widely spread.

The so-called gentry now refers to aristocratic families with official status.A poor family is a powerful landlord.Bamboo slips, the power of knowledge, are mainly circulated in these two classes.

Compared with the population of the world, there are few scholars.

Imperial examination?That requires a certain number of readers as a basis.Without books, without paper, there are not many scholars in this world.Lower level exams are meaningless.

This is one point.

The second point is that Liu Feng is also afraid that the imperial examination will not adapt to this era and cause adverse effects, so Liu Feng dare not use it.

But now the three elders have come up with a solution that perfectly solves these two problems.

The county did not need to take the exam and passed it directly.Ten people will be selected by the county guard, and then the relevant aspects will be conducted. The emperor will personally test and select talents.

This obviously has loopholes. If Xiaolian is selected by a clean and honest county guard, he must be talented and learned.If Xiaolian was selected by □□, then most likely he would be a wine bag and a rice bag.

And there is a middleman in the middle, a relational household.

But the three old men are very spicy, so cut them off one by one.If the person selected by the county guard does not perform well, then the county guard will be killed.This avoids the problem.

With a knife around his neck, Liu Feng believed that all the county guards in the world would be cautious when selecting Xiaolian.

This can achieve meritocracy.

No matter if you are from a humble family or a noble family, as long as you have talent and learning, you will have opportunities.This not only allows Liu Feng to win over talents from all over the world, but also breaks the monopoly of the aristocratic family.

This is actually no different from the imperial examination.

What made Liu Feng even more happy was that Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan came up with this method together.In terms of keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile, these three old men combined are no match for him.

But these three old men have lived in this world for more than 200 years.That experience is rich and sophisticated, and he can't keep up even if he flatters him.

Since the three of them have spent so much time thinking about it, there is a high chance that they will be able to pass.

This is a magic weapon, as long as you have this.Talented people from all over the world will be continuously integrated into the entire Han Dynasty.

In addition, the three elders also listed many rigid standards.Divided into two categories, filial piety, talent.

The ancients attached great importance to virtue, and filial piety is the first of all good deeds, which can be regarded as a standard of virtue.Needless to say.

This standard is the basis for the selection of talents for the county guards below.

It can be seen that Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan really put a lot of thought into this filial piety system.

Liu Feng suppressed the joy in his heart, raised his fist and gave a deep salute to the three, and said, "The rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty depends on the three old gentlemen."
