I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 228
Jia Xu looked worried in reality, and said with some concern: "My lord, the imperial examination system you mentioned is indeed a pioneering work. The benefits are obvious, but this move must have greatly increased the dissatisfaction of the existing gentry class. This force is extremely powerful. Do not worry that it will affect the pace of unification of the world."

Tian Feng also nodded, and said in agreement: "My lord, what Mr. Wen He said is not bad. Is this move too far ahead, and if they feel that we are deliberately suppressing the rich, they will definitely encounter fierce resistance."

Seeing that everyone was worried, Li Shimin explained patiently: "Our principle for this imperial examination is fairness and justice. The only standard for high school is meritocracy. The aristocratic family has such good educational conditions. There are not only classics, but also famous teachers. Is there no reason to be worse than the poor family? If you are still worried that your children will not be able to win the land, then there are ulterior motives? For example, the Xun family in Yingchuan has the eight dragons of the Xun family, and the Sima clan in Hanoi, there is also Sima Bada. It can be seen that the family itself It has advantages and can cultivate many outstanding talents.”

Li Shimin's words made everyone feel very beneficial, yes, the big families are all from the family, there is no reason why they can't compare with the poor students. "

Li Shimin saw that everyone nodded frequently, and continued to add: "This time, I plan to let Cai Yong be the chief examiner, and everyone will be the deputy chief examiner. In this way, with the wisdom of Mr. Cai Yong, naturally, he will not doubt the fairness of our selection of scholars. , and can add enormous influence.”

Everyone thought it was very reasonable when they heard it, and this made the big families have nothing to say. Since I am a fair and just candidate, I neither favor the poor, nor deliberately suppress the aristocratic families. have opinions?

Is it because he is afraid that his talents and learning will not be as good as those of poor families?

Xu Shu suddenly stood up and said, "My lord, since there is a civil examination, why add a martial examination? It can be divided into civil examinations and military examinations. Since ancient times, the ways of civil and martial arts have been different. I believe that there are many warriors who want to join the army and serve the country."

"Mr. Xu has a good idea. In this way, he can continue to supplement his team of middle and lower-level officers such as lieutenants and generals. Just organize the martial arts within five days after the Wenju, and go directly to Chang'an for the competition, instead of organizing it in the county."

"My lord Shengming..." Everyone praised from the bottom of their hearts.

In the winter of this year, the literary examinations are held in various counties. The top [-] in the examination will participate in the palace examination held in Chang'an in the spring of the following year. Cultivate around.

If you fail this year, you still have a chance. The top [-] students will stay in Taixue to continue their studies, receive training from famous teachers, and can also participate in the next year's palace examination.

For students from poor families, counties and counties prepare a special fund to subsidize students to take the exam in Chang'an.

Soon the announcement that Li Shimin was going to hold imperial examinations in Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Sili spread rapidly in various counties and counties, causing an uproar at once.

However, the response was mixed. Most of the humble scholars were grateful to Li Shimin, and finally gave them a chance to show their ambitions and change their destiny. They actively signed up, and even talented scholars from Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jiangnan also responded one after another.

However, some wealthy families dismissed it and were not interested in Li Shimin's imperial examination system at all.

Soon, the news spread to Yanzhou, and Cao Cao also knew about Li Shimin's imperial examination.

"Li Shimin naturally made some innovations. The imperial examination system is indeed very attractive to poor scholars. If we let him get the world's talents, our situation will be greatly disadvantaged." Cao Cao praised Li Shimin's imperial examination system very much, and he was even more worried. .

Xun Yu on the side said disapprovingly: "My lord, since ancient times, the world's elites have been in aristocratic families. Most of the heroes who make a difference in the world are from aristocratic families. It is difficult for nobles from poor families. The main lord will definitely be able to catch the talents cultivated by the aristocratic family. Get more talents by Li Shimin."

Cao Cao nodded, and felt that Xun Yu's words made some sense. After thinking for a while, Cao Cao said, "Then Li Shimin conducts the imperial examination, so we must hurry up and collect some talents for my use." Jump off the paper.
