Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 678
After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Liu Hongjian really wanted to give this guy a fried chestnut (brain collapse), not to mention other aspects, on key issues, Xiao Zhu and Lao Zhu were almost carved out of the same mold.

I vaguely remember that two or three years ago, whenever there was a difficult matter, Uncle Chongzhen would always say what to do, or just let you figure it out.

Now at Xiao Zhu's place, it's still like this, which really makes Liu Hongjian's ass hurt.

But Zhu Cihong is better than Uncle Chongzhen, if it is Uncle Chongzhen, he must act like an elder, which means that this matter is left to you, I don't worry, do it well.

Even if he didn't understand, he wouldn't pretend he didn't understand, while Zhu Cihong looked at Liu Hongjian seriously, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't think there was any embarrassment in asking Liu Hongjian for advice humbly.

This made Liu Hongjian feel ashamed to vent his anger even if he felt angry.

"How to change it?" Liu Hongjian scratched his head.

First of all, the stereotyped selection of scholars must be abolished. Stereotypes have caused a lot of harm to people, causing all the candidates to study and become nerds.

The second is the Four Books and Five Classics. Self-cultivation must not be mentioned, and governance of the country and family is also very good, but the Four Books and Five Classics must not be the entire content of the selection of talents by the imperial examination.

According to Liu Hongjian's thinking, it is enough for the Four Books and Five Classics to account for up to 30.00%.

In addition, policy theory, clear law, clear calculation, clear characters and other content should be added. Policy theory is the real-time politics of later generations. solution.

And understanding the law is about the knowledge of laws and regulations. Han Feizi said that the master cannot understand the laws and use the power of the ministers to control the power of the ministers. .

It is better to understand calculations in the Ming Dynasty. Numerology, geometry, etc., are extremely important things in later generations. In the previous dynasties such as the Tang and Song Dynasties, they were also used as the content of the imperial examinations, but they were almost abolished in the Ming Dynasty.

Only a few people who are not reused by the court, or are repeatedly demoted, will study some astronomical mathematics, such as Song Yingxing, Xu Ji and so on.

The entire country does not pay attention to mathematics, science, and engineering, which simply runs counter to the development of science and technology.

Then there are engineering and military studies, which should also be included in the imperial examination assessment. This is the most important thing in Liu Hongjian's thinking on reforming the imperial examination.

Confucianism's distinction between the three religions and the nine streams based on their own interests is simply nonsense. Everything is low-grade, except for reading.

The Four Books, Five Classics, and even the words of the sages are counted as the politics of later generations. To put it bluntly, people who are familiar with history are indeed effective in governing the country, but the development of a country without engineering and military science is deformed.

None of them can be missed.

As for what to do if the candidates don't have time to learn so many things after adding these things to the imperial examination, how the country should select talents after adding new subjects, and how to appoint these talents, Liu Hongjian did not make it difficult.

why?Because this can completely transfer the education system and talent selection system of later generations of China.

Facts have proved that the education system is indispensable for the rise of China in the next few decades. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be some inadequacies in squeezing students' spare time, and there are also some shortcomings in ignoring practice for the sake of grades.

But this system is definitely ahead of its time now, and its reference significance for this era is definitely a sigh of relief.

How to deal with the problem just mentioned, simply put it in two words, divide into subjects!

Before the township examination, all subjects are divided into categories in each county and prefectural school to recruit corresponding teaching materials to teach. After the students have a general understanding of all the subjects and become scholars after the township examination, they will choose one or two subjects that they are interested in or self-sufficient. Feel promising subjects to study.

A scholar is roughly equivalent to a junior high school graduate, a Juren is roughly equivalent to a high school graduate, and a Jinshi is a university graduate. The three main subjects of political science, military science, and science and engineering are simultaneously set up for imperial examinations.

Those who pass the Jinshi examination are assigned to do administrative work by learning the Four Books and Five Classics, such as the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Punishment. Entry Department, Household Department.

Then the imperial examination cycle was changed from three years to two years, and it was determined whether to change it to one year according to the specific situation.

Select more than 200 Jinshi in three years, and there are tens of thousands of candidates in the world. It is a bit too harsh, too inhumane, and too inconsistent with the national conditions.

Once every two years, the number of Jinshi will also be increased, and at least 300 people will be selected for each of the three subjects, which means that 900 people will be awarded Jinshi in two years.

But there is no way, Liu Hongjian must first consider Daming's current situation, and how to change it in the future, he can take his time.

But even so, he still had to solve the problem of placement of the extra six or seven hundred Jinshi, because even if he didn't care about this matter, Xiao Zhu had to find him in the end.

This again involves the official system of the Ming Dynasty. Why do you say that, for example, according to the original imperial examination process of the Ming Dynasty, those who are admitted to the Jinshi enter the Imperial Academy to wait for the imperial court to allocate.

Under normal circumstances, the first step is to delegate to a county to serve as the county magistrate, that is, the county magistrate.

This county magistrate is not the county magistrate of later generations. Daming is not a county in later generations with Organization Department, Finance Department, Trade Department, Judiciary Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Personnel Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Environment Department and many other departments.

At this time, the county magistrate held multiple positions. Even the minister of finance, the president of the procuratorate, the president of the court, the director of the public security bureau, the director of the police station, and the head of the Ministry of the Environment.

This is simply omnipotent. What you learn is seriously biased, but the work you do is inclusive. Is this appropriate?

Thinking of this, Liu Hongjian fell silent.

If you really want to fix this matter, it is definitely not an understatement as he thinks. If a place is not handled well, there may be a big problem.

Reforming the imperial examinations is the foundation of Confucianism. You don't even need to think about it, and the courtiers will never agree.

This matter is completely no different from leading troops to fight a war, and it is even more violent than a war. It is like walking on thin ice, like facing an abyss, trembling all the time, and fighting a national war is no different.

If the literati all over the world rose up and rebelled against him, and the officials all over the world agreed with him as supporters of the officials, and everyone stood up against him and criticized him as the instigator of disasters for the country and the people, would Xiao Zhu be able to resist it?

Undoubtedly, this moment will definitely come, Liu Hongjian was very sure, he glanced at Zhu Cihong, wanting to see some firmness in his eyes, all he did needed the backing of his brother-in-law.

But he didn't see anything in Zhu Cihong's eyes. The emperor didn't need to take the imperial examinations. In terms of reforming the imperial examinations, this guy is just a little blank slate.

"Brother Liu, have you made up your mind?" Zhu Cihong reminded Liu Hongjian when he saw that Liu Hongjian was deep in thought and remained silent for a while.

Liu Hongjian sighed.

"I figured it out."
