Fu Qin starts with a plan

After the new year of Daqin, apart from the fact that Fusu was about to go to America, there was also Daqin's first imperial examination.

Because of the establishment of the Daqin Academy, there are many more scholars in Daqin than expected.

Most of the scope of the exam is the content of the nine subjects formulated by Zhao Kun.

However, the scope of the examination was determined based on the current actual situation of Daqin.

For example, the Ministry of Construction, one of the new departments, is from the Mohist School, the Gongluo Family and other schools. This is necessary, right?
If an outsider guides an insider, how can things go forward?

When formulating academic subjects, Zhao Kun discussed with Ying Zheng and Fu Su, so the content of the exam at the decision meeting was also discussed item by item.

Zhao Kun's idea provided an idea for the big bosses in the doctor's palace who were scratching their heads for the imperial examination questions.

The imperial examination framework will be released soon.

What Zhao Kun wants is actually similar to the separation of arts and sciences in later generations.

The culture of a hundred schools of thought, as the quintessence of Chinese civilization, can naturally exercise the thinking mode of students.

However, the emphasis is different.

Confucianism emphasizes etiquette and virtue, which can provide talents for departments in charge of education, etiquette, and official appointment.

Needless to say, the Legalists must be the main source of talents for the Ministry of Justice.

And its masters, no accident, can be in charge of foreign negotiations and other duties.

All other knowledge has its uses.

Don't look at the two schools of Confucianism and Legalism, it seems that they only talk about it, and it is useless.

However, there must be reasons for being able to become the top two universities in China.

It is said that the heads of the two departments who can be in charge are all awarded the title of "Heavenly Official" outside of their own duties.

The great power of authority can be seen from this.

In the discussion of the resolution meeting again and again, the new court organization was gradually released.

The news that the imperial examination will come out according to the resolution is also constantly being adjusted.

In the end, when Zhao Kun saw the entire process provided by the bigwigs, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

The result agreed upon by the bosses is the sub-subject examination!

Confucianism and Legalism, some basic topics are given as the basic points.

This test paper is common to all scholars.

In addition, there is a specialized test paper, which is issued by other professional counterparts.

In order to cooperate with this imperial examination, they asked the court to provide vacant positions in various heart institutions.

Zhao Kun was speechless.

What the hell is the imperial examination, this is clearly the public examination for later generations!
However, I have to say that this test mode is really suitable for Daqin's current environment.

Before you know it, the time has come to the day before the vernal equinox.

Ying Zheng ordered that during this day, the entire Xianyang was under martial law and the market was banned.

All businesses that provide board and lodging are free of charge, and only provide services for scholars from all over the country.

Of course, all these costs are borne by the counties and counties.

At night, the whole of Xianyang is brightly lit, but silent.

In history, the first imperial examination to obtain a scholar.

Faced with this kind of opportunity, all scholars are ready to fight.

Naturally, there is no such bad habit of carnival before the big exam as later generations.

Even walking on the road, you can see scholars holding scrolls in their hands and sharpening their guns before the battle.

That night, countless scholars could not sleep all night longing for the future.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, countless scholars gathered from all corners of Xianyang City towards the examination room.

It is worth mentioning that because the imperial examinations are highly targeted, the examination rooms are scattered all over Xianyang, mainly in the lobbies of various yamen.

The scholars walked on the road, all with serious faces, without the slightest desire to talk.

Because of time constraints, this imperial examination actually did not have the red tape of later generations at all.

The entire exam lasts for two days.

The first day is the literary test, which is divided into two sessions.

In the morning, the exam is the basic papers produced by the masters of Confucianism and Legalism, and in the afternoon, the exam is about the professional content of scholars.

On the second day, the test was the flexibility of the scholars when dealing with problems.

For example, the legalist test paper on the second day is mainly to give some specific cases, allowing candidates to put themselves into the perspective of the judge to solve the problem.

The most abnormal is Confucianism, and various ethical issues emerge in endlessly.

Zhao Kun had read the Confucian test papers in advance, and was confused by all kinds of rules.

There is one thing to say, although Zhao Kun is said to be born with knowledge, he has learned from ancient to modern times.

But as for the Confucianism, so far I have not had an in-depth understanding.

However, it is undeniable that Confucian knowledge is extremely useful for the stability of the court.

At least for now, Confucianism is the most suitable choice for the education of schoolchildren.

Soon, the scholars entered the examination room in an orderly manner under the supervision of the small officials who maintained order.

Tens of thousands of qualified scholars took the exam at the same time, but not a single case of entrainment was found.

On the one hand, it was because the people in this period were extremely simple, and the scholars did not have so many flowery intestines.

The most important thing is that this is the first imperial examination after all, there is no precedent, even if you want to cheat, you have nowhere to start.

When the scholars entered the arena, Xianyang suddenly fell into silence.
At this time, not to mention the people in Xianyang, but the people in the whole Guanzhong are looking forward to it.

Today, compulsory education is implemented nationwide.

Reading is no longer a rare thing in Daqin, it would be strange not to read.

Passing the exam can become an official, which has brought great shock to all the people.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this imperial examination has attracted the attention of the whole country.

Ordinary people are concerned about whether the court can fulfill their promises, and whether people selected by the imperial examination can really be officials.

As for officials at all levels, what they care about is how their local scholars perform in this imperial examination.

After all, Zhao Kun said that the previous imperial examinations were not treated on the basis of regions, and they were treated equally.

As long as the ranking is high, all can be admitted.

However, after all, the level of education varies from place to place. After a long time, places with strong natural education will have far more places than places with relatively backward education.

This is also a great injustice.

Therefore, after the previous few imperial examinations, the imperial court will determine the number of places based on comprehensive considerations based on the admission ratio of scholars from various places.

Although this policy is biased towards places where education is temporarily backward.

However, the most concerned are those counties with strong educational strength.

After all, it is related to how many quotas can be assigned to the land under their rule in the future.

These things must be a major item in the performance evaluation in the future.

Now that the second division is about to ascend the throne, it looks like it will be a big fight.

Who wants to give him a bad impression at this time?

In addition, merchants are also very concerned about this imperial examination.

Their focus is different.

After the barbaric growth of the first five-year plan, it can be said that in the whole of Daqin, no one understands how powerful the power of knowledge is than these merchants.

Naturally, they would not dare to rob someone from the court.

However, in every exam, there is always a ranking, right?
Some people are very strong, but they are unlucky and almost made it to the list.

How to do?
Merchants engaged in counterpart industries will definitely go up and snap up.

Although Daqin has made great moves recently, the only thing that has reached the level of national attention is the imperial examination.

There is no doubt that this imperial examination has shown a truth to the people of Daqin in a real way.

What is knowledge changing destiny.

In the large business hall of the National Bank, Fusu kept pacing back and forth.

The imperial examination event is a major event that concerns the whole Qin Dynasty, so naturally it cannot be ignored.

In this imperial examination, Ying Zheng did not reuse the so-called courtiers of the new court.

The courtiers of the new dynasty all do chores.

On the contrary, those who are reused are some courtiers whose thinking logic is biased towards the old dynasty.

There are certain reasons for this.

Although the courtiers of the new court are all from the scholar class.

But there is one thing to say, since these scholars have followed Zhao Kun, they have been running wildly on the road of emancipating their minds.

For example, Chen Ping, a good prime minister of the empire, was transformed into a great financier by Zhao Kun.

Usually, he welcomes and sees them off, and they are all wealthy businessmen.

What I think about in my mind is something related to financial policy.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought in Daqin today, which one has a specific explanation for these things?

Even, in the views of most schools of thought, what Chen Ping did was simply resigned to depravity.

Not to mention the affairs in charge of Han Sheng in the Market Supervision Bureau and Fan Xiliang in the Supervision Bureau are all new things for Daqin.

They are naturally very effective in dealing with practical matters, but when it comes to the depth of knowledge, let alone compared with the bigwigs, even compared with the veterans of the old dynasty, they are still far behind.

The reason is very simple, even if these people are counted from the mother's womb.

Even if they read books day and night, how many books have they only read?
Regarding the accumulation of knowledge in books, not to mention that they are compared with the big names of the hundred schools, even the veterans of the old court can easily crush them in this regard.

Therefore, all the invigilators for this imperial examination are veterans.

Even a child from a family like Meng Yi didn't get a job as an invigilator.

However, among the courtiers of the new dynasty, Fusu was a special case.

The candidates in the test center of the Daqin National Bank are all people who have applied for something related to the Americas and are planning to follow Fusu to the Americas.

Naturally, Fusu had to do this kind of thing by himself.

As I said before, the current situation in America is simply a blessing from heaven for Daqin.

First of all, there is no established national concept in the Americas so far, and most of the local indigenous people are scattered in various places in the form of tribes, living on water and grass.

America faces the sea on both sides, with a suitable climate and lush aquatic plants.

It can be said that the people living there do not have any natural enemies, and even the basic pressure of survival does not exist.

In Zhao Kun's view, once Fusu arrived in America, it would be easy to use some means to establish a regime subordinate to Daqin.

After all, Native Americans are human beings, and human beings have desires, and many things can be accomplished by using human desires.

Zhao Kun never doubted that Fusu could do something in America.

But it is easy to take the land of America, but it is not a simple matter to accommodate America into the current development system of Daqin.

In this process, the hard work of countless people is required.

The scholars selected from this examination room will be the main force to restrain America in the future.

Since he is Fusu's direct subordinate, it is reasonable to let Fusu invigilate the exam.

As expected by Zhao Kun, the scholars in this examination room basically come from Confucianism.

Instead, Fusu entrusted his teacher, Chun Yuyue, to ask some Confucian masters to come up with the test questions.

Fusu was far-sighted, and in the process of setting the test questions, he tried his best to reject all opinions and asked Chun Yuyue to abandon the set of thoughts of inner sages and outer kings.

The logic of thinking that Confucianism has been promoting for a long time is internally sage and externally king. To put it bluntly, it is mainly to appease internally and conquer externally.

But after Fusu learned about the situation in the Americas from Zhao Kun, he thought that this set of policies was not practical for the Americas.

In the past few months, he has been chatting with Lu Sheng and the crew who followed Lu Sheng back from the sea.

It can be said that apart from these people in Daqin today, Fusu has the deepest understanding of America.

So Fusu knew exactly what kind of talents he needed.

The main content of the assessment in this examination room is to examine the ability of these scholars to deal with government affairs.

The establishment of a new regime will inevitably involve countless cumbersome things.

Fusu has Daqin as his backing, and he was born in the royal family, so he is not a wild child, so he is naturally familiar with these things.

Of course, he also considered recruiting some professional talents.

For example, one of the test questions asked scholars to describe their talent in language.

The language system of Native Americans is naturally completely different from that of Daqin. If you want to quickly enter the rhythm and control everything in your own hands, you will naturally need some language geniuses.

The imperial examination does not clearly stipulate the score value of each question, and the score is comprehensively judged, and finally the winner with the highest total score wins.

At least this is not the case here in Fusu.

After following Zhao Kun for a long time, Fusu knows better than anyone else that there is no such thing as a waste, only people who are misplaced.

Everyone has unique talents, as long as their talents are useful to them, that is enough.

At this time, Fusu stood behind a scholar.

Although this prince is a Confucian student, he was completely confused in his answers to the previous basic questions about Confucianism.

Apparently the guy was a poor reader.

But on this wonderful language question, he answered more than others.

Fusu stood behind the scholar and watched for a while, then couldn't help laughing.

According to the scholar's description on the test questions, he himself has a very high language talent, and he can skillfully use the local dialect to communicate with the locals within half a month after arriving in a place.

Perhaps it was because there were too many vacancies in the previous test questions, which made the scholar feel anxious, so among the questions he could answer, the scholar wrote a full page.

In addition to describing his talent in languages, he also elaborated on his method of learning languages.

There are actually nineteen items listed.

Fusu looked at them one by one, and couldn't help being awed.

It has to be said that there has never been a distinction between good talent and crooked talent in this world.

All talents can be found in the right place.

Otherwise, where did the story of chicken crowing and dog robbery come from?

At the beginning, Lord Mengchang came from the state of Qin, but he was detained by King Qin Zhao under pretext.

Mr. Mengchang was a well-known son during the Warring States period. He was fond of raising followers, and it is said that he had as many as [-] followers.

However, the quality of these diners is mixed.

Some people just know some tricks, and they are also treated as honored guests by Lord Mengchang, which makes the dignitaries of other countries extremely disdainful.

However, it was these thieves who saved Meng Changjun's life at a critical moment.
