After all, Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was punished by Yang Fei for a month to face the wall and think about his mistakes.

"Greetings...greetings to His Highness the King of Han."

"Meet the Prime Minister."

More than a dozen senior officials from the Ministry of Officials came out to welcome the two of them.

They have different expressions, some are extremely afraid of Yang Fei, and some are extremely resentful towards Yang Fei.

"Sit wherever you want, don't be restrained."

Yang Fei waved his hand, and naturally walked towards the main seat.

That seat, which Changsun Wuji sat during the meeting, now belongs to Yang Fei.

As for the officials present, none of them had any intention of speaking to stop it, and even felt a sense of relief.

After all, looking at Yang Fei's appearance, he didn't come to find fault, but seemed to have something to deal with.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness."

All the officials saluted one after another and each found a place to sit.

This is actually a conference room, and each seat is seated according to the position.

So soon he sat upright and waited for Yang Fei to start the meeting.

"Is this year's imperial examination over?"

Yang Fei spoke in a deep voice.

The "Provincial Examination" of the Tang Dynasty started around February.

It's nearly April now, and it's probably over long ago.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the provincial examination was completed last month, and the scholars who have obtained fame have also arranged for them to work in corresponding positions."

Cui Wangchun, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up respectfully and reported to Yang Fei.

When he lowered his head, he wondered if Yang Fei was dissatisfied with the imperial examination?

But this imperial examination has the largest number of participants over the years.

Thanks to the emergence of new paper from Tianxia Bookstore, there are many more readers.

However, the number of people who have achieved fame is about the same as usual, and their backgrounds are also about the same...

"Bring me the list and show it to me." Yang Fei thought for a while and said.

Most of the scholars in the world come from five surnames, Qiwang and other prominent families.

Now that his new paper has been published, has there been any change in those who have achieved fame?

Cui Wangchun was a little dumbfounded, but he quickly asked a high-level executive to go down and get the list information.

Yang Fei took the admission list, and at a glance, most of them were named Li, Cui, Zheng, Yang, Lu and so on.

Looking at it this way, one can tell that most of the people who have achieved fame are those from the big families.

This is also normal, after all, people are born with good conditions.

It is still difficult for ordinary people to get ahead on their own.

I think there is something tricky about it, the trick of officials protecting each other.

Ha ha, but put this matter aside for the time being, what is needed now is the reform of the imperial examination.

"The king came here today, mainly to say that the king is not satisfied with the imperial examination and wants to make some changes." Yang Fei said in a deep voice.

"Change the imperial examination?"

"Hanwang Highness, this matter is very important. Don't you invite the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries including Your Majesty and the eldest grandson to discuss together?"

Cui Wangchun immediately exclaimed.

Now in the Ministry of Officials, it can be said that he is the top leader.

Therefore, after Yang Fei expressed his dissatisfaction with the imperial examination, he was the first to express his opinion immediately.

Since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the measure of imperial examination has provided countless talents to the court.

It is an eternal plan.

It is an important policy for the development of the imperial court.

It is an important channel for their famous families to control scholars all over the world.

Although Yang Fei, king of the Han Dynasty, has a high position and authority, how can such a major national issue be changed just by changing it?

At the risk of angering Yang Fei, Cui Wangchun moved out all important ministers including the emperor, Changsun Wuji, three provinces and six ministries.

"Don't you know that this king is a big deal?"

"What this king wants now is for you to sort out this king's thoughts, not to reform immediately!"

Yang Fei looked at Cui Wangchun slightly with deep eyes, and his tone was a bit low.

Before the imperial examination reform started, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Officials proposed three provinces and six ministries to prevent his own reform.

It can be seen what kind of difficulties there will be after the imperial examination reform begins.

But it doesn't matter, the imperial examination must be reformed, and it's useless for anyone to stop it.

Reforms have never been bloodless since ancient times.

No bloodshed is not called reform!

"I know I'm wrong, please tell me, Your Highness the King of Han."

The servant of the official department quickly saluted and sat down.

But in fact, he was not at ease, and felt that Yang Fei was definitely not just talking.

"This king thinks that the imperial examination does not have to be the Four Books and Five Classics. If you don't understand the classics, you can't be admitted. It's really ignorant..."

Yang Fei spoke slowly.

It's just that he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Hanwang Highness, the exam questions are from the Four Books and Five Classics, and they are the thoughts left by the sage Confucius. Is there still something wrong with the sage?"

Among the top officials, an old scholar immediately stood up to refute.

This person is a little thin, looks very bookish, and has a very proud style.

When talking with Yang Fei, he was very imposing, and it seemed that Yang Fei's words offended Confucianism.

Needless to say, this is a scholar who believes in Confucianism.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, so you are in a hurry to interrupt rudely."

"Come here, this person has offended the majesty of the king, he will be dismissed from his official position, and kicked out of the official department!" Yang Fei shouted coldly.

For a moment, all the senior officials present were taken aback.

The old scholar was also taken aback, his face suddenly turned red with blood.

At the same time, two guards walked in from outside the official department, came to the old scholar, picked him up and left.

"Yang Fei, you are putting the cart before the horse. How can you say that the sage's thinking is ignorant? I don't accept it, I don't accept it..."

The old scholar struggled and shouted, but was finally dragged down by the guards.

The scene became silent in an instant, and the senior officials of the official department looked at Yang Fei and shrank their necks.

Yang Fei glanced at them coldly, and after making sure that they stopped talking, he said slowly: "I think some changes can be made to the regular and system departments... In terms of education, there is a "nine-year compulsory education" idea that is worth referring to..."

Chapter 451

The so-called nine-year compulsory education.

In essence, it is a system of compulsory education for school-age children stipulated by the state for a certain number of years.

It has the basic characteristics of mandatory, free, popular and secular.

But obviously.

The current Datang cannot achieve the two points of mandatory and free.

But the two points of popularity and secularity are okay.

Yang Fei can build a national school in every city.

As for the schools in the country, teachers are sent by the country to establish public schools.

Such a school gives each student nine years of education, respectively teaching Chinese, mathematics, physics...

After the end of nine years, pass the exam, and then send to the university established by the imperial capital for special training...

In this, it is possible to achieve the generality of teachers and gradually change the bad habits of scholars (teachers) who come from famous families.

At the same time, the examination here can also play a fair role, avoiding the admission list because it is Zhi Gong's speech.

The so-called Zhigongju means "specially ordered to take charge of the tribute examination", and it is generally held by a famous minister of the imperial court.

With their existence, there will be people who have been admitted without approval of the test paper.

The above is Yang Fei's idea of ​​nine-year compulsory education, a simplified version of nine-year compulsory education in modern society.

As for the candidates for each year's teacher, at present, they can only be selected from the current teachers, and they will proceed step by step.

In the future, a normal school can be set up in the imperial capital directly to train teachers who teach and educate people.

In the short term, the quality of teachers is definitely not much better.

But in the long run, new teachers can be selected from among the new students and let them educate the students.

As long as the welfare is guaranteed, then this is definitely not a problem.

……

Yang Fei talked a lot.

He was talking for nearly two hours.

But overall it's a rough version.

More needs to come out step by step.

But as long as the direction is correct, then it is not difficult.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and others wrote their handwriting, frowning from time to time.

Originally, Fang Xuanling was invited to listen in, and he will also come to write and record later.

Yang Fei's idea is undoubtedly unprecedented, and it has a huge impact on them.

Because of their different thoughts, they only felt that their bodies were incomparably shocked, but they couldn't explain why.

In the end, Yang Fei felt that he was about to stop, drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and asked them to sort out the results.

After about a stick of incense.

"Have you all summed up what this king said?" Yang Fei said in a deep voice.

Today, I went to the Ministry of Officials mainly for the reform of the imperial examination.

However, the premise of reform is to sort out the ideas of reform.

Yang Fei didn't dare to say that thinking was perfect, so he could only come up with a preliminary outline first, and then slowly improve it.

And these people just record what they want to express, even though they are organized into chapters, there is no problem for them to speak again.

If you can, start now.

"It's concluded." Cui Wangchun, the official servant, took a deep breath and said.

To be able to sit in his position is definitely not an ignorant person.

If Yang Fei's policy continues to be implemented, there will not be any major changes at the beginning.

But ten or eight years later, the world structure will change drastically, and the monopoly of the famous families will be completely broken.

At that time, I am afraid that many new families will rise up, their thinking will be enlightened, and people will become smarter.

And their famous families will no longer be as respected as before, and they may be replaced in a few years!
