Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 238: Holding Imperial Examinations to Recruit Talents (Part )

"Oh, it doesn't matter if Master Liu has something to say." Although Suletan deliberately called Liu Haogu "Liu Qing" to show his closeness, the word "Master Liu" had been called "Master Liu" for many years, and it popped up without anyone noticing.

Liu Haogu felt hot and talked eloquently, "There are two differences between the minister and the chief minister: first, the minister believes that it should be strictly forbidden to donate money to obtain the qualification of supervising students as a birth certificate, but the chief minister believes that donating children can make up for the lack of officials. "Secondly, I thought that Ti Xuedao in each province should be put under the direct control of the Ministry of Rites, but the chief minister thought that Ti Xuedao should be subordinate to the local area."

After hearing this, Batu and Tan couldn't help but blush. He had selfish motives in both matters. Hearing that the imperial examination was about to be held, many Mongolian nobles came to him to seek honors for their children. He knew that those children of the nobles were good at fighting but failed in the exams. The existence of donated children could allow those who had not obtained the imperial title to have official titles. Do it; as for the study of education, it is placed under the direct control of the Ministry of Rites, but Liu Haogu, the Minister of Rites, whom he has always been afraid of, must not be placed under the Ministry of Rites, as it will strengthen the power of his opponent!

Who was Emperor Qianyuan? The ins and outs of the two events were quickly understood.

Under the system of the Ming Dynasty, students studying in the Imperial College were called supervisors. Students who had completed their studies could take part in the scientific examinations or directly become officials. At the beginning, supervisors had to pass rigorous examinations. But later it became a false name, and you can obtain the qualification of supervising students by donating money.

The existence of official donations has ruined the atmosphere of the officialdom. If you have money, you can become an official. This is absolutely not allowed in my Davidic dynasty! Suletan frowned. However, Batu and Tan's words are not completely unreasonable. Nowadays, everything is prosperous and there is a shortage of officials everywhere. Donating children can indeed make up for the lack of officials. However, to get an official position by donating money, the donated money must be recovered before it is considered a loss. The existence of these donated officials has contributed to the rise of corruption! Well, I would rather lack than overdo it. I would rather leave the official position empty than corrupt the official atmosphere!
He suddenly thought of the university system in later generations, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Ba Qing, Liu Qing, this is what I think about donating lives. Official positions are national treasures and must not be bought or sold. Therefore, the Imperial College's supervision of students is full After that, you cannot directly become an official. If you want to be an official, you must take the imperial examination and pass the provincial examination. However, there is indeed a shortage of officials at present. Let's let those supervisors hold graduation examinations after completing their careers. Those who excel in the examination will be appointed as officials, what kind of officials? Officials, governors, governors, scribes, magistrates, prosecutors, prison guards, etc. are all acceptable. Although you cannot be an official, being an official is a way out, and if an official has excellent political performance, he can also be promoted to an official."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the emperor's words were the imperial edict. As soon as Chrysostom opened his mouth, the two pavilion elders shouted "Sheng Ming".

As for the matter of placing Tixue Dao under the direct control of the Ministry of Rites, Suletan both agreed and disapproved.

In the Ming Dynasty, academic affairs in the Ming Dynasty were subordinate to the local government. There was no independent yamen, and the grades were also uncertain. If the person who promoted academic affairs in each province was the deputy envoy of the Jicha Division, it would be the fourth grade; Patrol. In the Zhili area, the seventh-rank supervisory censor serves. Because the Tixue Dao in each province was subordinate to the Imperial Examination Office, it was easily interfered by local officials and undermined the fairness of the imperial examination. If Tixue Dao is placed under the Ministry of Rites, it will not be subject to local control, and it will be difficult for local officials to engage in corruption for personal gain! From this perspective, he agrees.

But in the long run, education is the foundation of a century-old plan. In the long run, it is better to establish a separate Ministry of Education for management; besides, Chief Assistant Batu and Tansu are at odds with Master Liu, and he may not support it if it is placed under the Ministry of Rites. From this perspective, he disapproves.

As expected of Padmasambhava appearing in the human body, the Bodhisattva's wisdom is beyond human reach and he quickly thought of a solution.

"I feel that education is related to the destiny of the country. Whether it is under local management or under the control of the Ministry of Rites, there are shortcomings. In this way, the education system in each province will follow the Zhili model and be filled by the supervisory censor or other officials from the capital. Independent yamen will be established. They have the power to report secretly. Ti Xuedao can supervise the governor, and the governor can also supervise Ti Xuedao and give examination instructions at the end of the year. Matters involving the imperial examination are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites; but in terms of organization, they belong to the imperial court. They will He is my imperial envoy, and he uses the same "Guanfang" seal as the governor. His term of office is three years. After each rural examination, the Ministry of Civil Affairs must re-nominate candidates for learning Taoism from each province."

"Your Majesty is a saint." This time Batu, Tan, and Liu Haogu praised the saint even louder. Since everyone agreed, Emperor Qianyuan issued an edict, "The emperor should administer governance, culture and education should come first, ministers should serve the emperor, and Confucianism should be the basis. Today's world is gradually determined. I will promote culture and education and worship Confucianism in order to create peace. Special establishments will be established in each province. The position of 'admiral and scholar'"

There is a shortage of talents. There is really a shortage of talents! In order to solve the problem of insufficient number of officials, Emperor Qianyuan ordered the "Children's Examination" to be held in May this year. Although this year was not the year of Zi, Mao, Wu or You every three years, he still decided to open Enke and hold the provincial examination in August, the general examination in February of the following year, and the palace examination in March. Be sure to select the first batch of Juren, Gongshi and Jinshi in March next year!
However, despite the lack of talents, Sultan did not want to hire those nerds who only knew the classics. The talents in his mind were pragmatic and practical talents. He was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination only took one subject, the Jinshi. None of the Sui, Tang, and Song Dynasties were so partial. Even the Yuan Dynasty had two subjects, Dexing and Mingjing.

In order to prevent the elected officials from being rotten scholars who were industrious, ignorant of grains, and only knew the classics and meanings, Emperor Qianyuan ordered the restoration of the imperial examination system of the Tang and Song Dynasties, which was divided into regular subjects (normalized subjects) and system examinations ( Temporarily established subjects). Among them, there are eight regular subjects: Mingjing, Jinshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingsuan, Translation, Astronomy, and Geography. This year, the three subjects of medicine, calligraphy and painting, and agriculture are added to the examination, making a total of 11 subjects, of which Jinshi subjects account for Thirty percent.

There are not many days left in the Autumn Festival, and there are already ten lines in the Book of Heaven.

The final piece can be self-suffering, and the final chapter will be finalized.

After missing the three princes, the sky is seven feet long.

Next year's official election, Mei Fu will be even more hostile to Xiang.

The emperor gave the order to open Enke, and officials at all levels immediately arranged it in full swing. In farming areas, counties are used as units, and large houses are found as tribute courtyards; in nomadic areas, Otok scholars are gathered together and tested in big tents.

Soon, the results came. 3,500 scholars across the country took part in the child examination. Although the difficulty of the examination was repeatedly lowered in order to replenish the number of officials as quickly as possible, 2,500 scholars were still eliminated and finally obtained the title of student officer. Only 1,000 people were qualified; 200 people passed the provincial examination; 80 people passed the imperial examination. In the end, in the first imperial examination of the David Dynasty, 80 Jinshi were awarded in 11 subjects. Among them, there was a Han man named Li Yuanze from Hami, who was awarded the title of Jieyuan, Huiyuan and Number One Scholar, and became a legend for a while.

Because there was a shortage of officials, Emperor Qianyuan ordered that all candidates and above should be granted official positions, and eventually 200 official positions were awarded.

Looking at the long list of officials, Sultan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Heroes in the world, join me!"
