The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 264 The so-called ethnic concept
"This assessment will be held!" Shi Hui quickly stopped worrying about the fact that someone didn't come to refer to him. Invited by the governor of Jiaozhou, a group of talents were sent to build Jiaozhou and Yuezhou.

At the same time, the governor also considers that the old system of filial piety and honesty is no longer in line with the current situation.Therefore, I hope to create a system that allows talented people in the world to have the opportunity to become an official. This system is called the "imperial examination"! "

After a pause, he looked down at the candidate who was sitting upright at the first place, and continued: "Judging from the results of this assessment, we have indeed selected a group of outstanding talents. Shi is very happy to be able to sit here!"

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!" The examinees also got up one after another, and replied after saluting.

"In the future, the imperial examination will gradually become a practice. The examination will be held every three years, and the other two years will be the children's examination and the rural examination. The county officials will also be evaluated on a three-year basis. Those who have been evaluated for consecutive years will be transferred or promoted. Those who have reached the age of 60 can apply for retirement, and the latest cannot exceed the age of 75. Regardless of the position, retirement can be based on the official position before retirement, and the salary will still be paid every year. His status as a 'juren' or a 'jinshi' is still retained." Shi Hui continued to explain his plan.

In the Han Dynasty, after becoming an official, one-third of the salary can be deducted as a pension after deducting the governor of the state. Speaking of having children for old age, when there is no pension insurance and medical insurance, children are really very important.

According to Shi Hui, there is no need to worry about life after retirement. This is very satisfying. Most of the people present are in their 30s and [-]s, and they have basically never thought about retirement.

But again, it puts a question in front of him: How high will they climb before they turn 60?If at the age of 60, you still can't enter the center, then it is estimated that it will be difficult to enter again. In the end, you will be exhausted in office, so you might as well just retire!
"As for the promotion system, it will be improved at that time. Talented people can be promoted quickly, and we will definitely not let you spend too much time in the local area! Of course, after talking so much, it is time to get to the point. Now it is up to me Announce the topic of the third round of assessment!" Shi Hui finally explained, and then began to announce.

Candidates are actually relieved, they are really worried about spending too much time in one place.

"The third round of assessment is mainly policy theory, policy theory is the topic, and it is a debate around the word 'Huaxia Nation'!" Shi Hui looked at a group of candidates, "It involves the distinction between Huaxia and Barbarians, but you must first understand Yes, what is the concept of nationality? Bloodline, region, appearance? Then tell me, what is the Chinese nation!"

The topic has been given very clearly, and there is no need to guess what the topic wants to express.Candidates thought this question was not difficult, but they were puzzled why Shi Hui didn't let them analyze the rationality of his claim to power, or the general trend of the world, but let them debate the concept of nation.

"Two hours, start now!" Shi Hui clapped his hands, and someone naturally took out the hourglass.As the water was poured in, it also meant that the exam had officially begun!
What is a nation?This term is a bit unfamiliar to candidates, and it is hard to say that there was only the concept of nationals before.Even now, there is still the concept of dividing identities by region, such as Zhang Fei's 'Yanren' self-proclaimed.

What the Shi Hui gives is "Huaxia Nation", which means that you can't just look at the region, but the entire thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty... Oh, because there are more Yue prefectures, so now there are thirteen prefectures.The meaning of Shi Hui is obviously to regard the people of the fourteen prefectures as a whole.At the same time, he also explained that it also involves the distinction between Hua and Barbarians. Does that mean that the Yue people or barbarians living in this area should also be treated as a whole?

So what is a nation?As Shi Hui said, existence distinguished by region, or existence distinguished by bloodline and appearance?This is an unfamiliar question, one that many people simply don't think about.

Most of the scribes would consider the family and the country, but they would not consider what is a common people, what is a family, and what is a country.

"Two hours, I'm afraid it's not enough!" Xun Biao wrote down his name, place of origin and examination number, but looked at the blank answer sheet, not knowing what to write.Obviously Mingshi Hui has given a very clear direction, and there is no need to speculate on its intentions.

Although Huaxia's inheritance has its own line and has lasted for thousands of years without much change, the concept of ethnicity probably only began to appear around the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the concept of Han people also began to take shape at that time.

Shi Hui had heard a joke before. A man traveled to the Ming Dynasty and said he wanted to join Zhu Yuanzhang. Then Zhu Yuanzhang saw his strange clothes and asked him if he was a Mongolian or something. He answered that he was a Han. In the end he was hacked by Zhu Yuanzhang as a spy. Now, only those under the rule of his old enemy Chen Youliang called themselves Han Chinese.

Using the concept of ethnicity as an examination question is really embarrassing for these natives in the late Han Dynasty, Shi Hui thought maliciously.

I used to read the imperial examination essays, and during the imperial examination, the protagonist often had no distractions and concentrated on answering the questions.But now Shi Hui is in charge of setting the questions, and what he is looking at is the performance of these candidates.Some people thought for a while, some thought while writing, some scratched their heads, and some hesitated.

It is said that there are all kinds of things in the world. There are 243 candidates here. Seeing them suffering from the exam questions, Shi Hui felt a little proud.

The exam questions this time will naturally be passed on to the world with the third round of exams, but I don't know how many people will be able to think about the concept of nation.Whether the theory of ethnicity will further affect the in-depth discussion of the distinction between Huaxia and Barbarians, and even the concept of "Huaxia nation", Shi Hui is looking forward to it.

Two hours passed slowly, Shi Hui was still a little interested at first, but after a long time, he felt boring, and finally ordered a nearby person to bring him a copy of "Spring and Autumn", and started to read it.This is the thread-bound version of "Spring and Autumn" printed by the book printing house. Hundreds of thousands of characters are divided into three copies and printed. Instead of the bamboo slips that used to require a bookcase, now only three thin books are needed.

"If you don't consider the handwriting, it's probably not a problem to compress it into one book, but it's too much a test of engraving and printing!" Shi Hui looked at the content of "Spring and Autumn", and sighed in his heart.

At the same time, it is also a bit of a bad taste. Now that I am holding this "Spring and Autumn", will I give these candidates some wrong signals?It would be ridiculous if they accidentally lead them astray, so that the ranking that might have been No.1 suddenly fell to the last place.However, he is very clear, No.1, I am afraid that he should not have this concern...

"Would you all be willing to accept my solicitation?" Before recruiting Jia Xu, Shi Hui actually held a banquet secretly. He couldn't ignore how many talents there were.It doesn't matter if they are recruited even before the assessment.

"I heard that the general held an assessment and the heroes from all over the world gathered in Linxiang. We originally intended to join the general, but knowing such a grand event, we also planned to participate. If we are lucky enough to win the ranking, we should serve the general!" Several people discussed for a while, but the result was that What made Shi Hui speechless when he came to such a conclusion was that this was the second time he had encountered it.

Not to mention the natives who attended the banquet, at least ten NPCs with templates of historical celebrities participated in this assessment!
