Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 648 Zhu Kezang Wants to Streamline His Organization (Please Subscribe!)
Ask the wise king what to do?
How does this make candidates answer?
No one has ever been an emperor!

People in this era have never played Emperor Simulator: Europa Universalis.

Generally speaking, the questions for the imperial examination can be set by the cabinet, selected by the emperor, or set by the emperor himself.

So is this Tao from the cabinet or from the emperor?
Such a question with personality and domineering sideways, Pan Boheng thinks that in all likelihood, His Majesty Zhu Kezang came up with the question himself.

So, how to answer this question in order to meet the emperor's wishes?
Gu Zhixian, how do you do it?

Zhou Gong vomited and nourished the world to return to his heart?

"The new Ming Dynasty is thriving, the people are prosperous, and the achievements of the emperor far exceed Qin Huang Han Wu"

Pan Boheng conceived the structure and started to write. Anyway, it is always right to flatter first.

While he was writing quickly, Zhu Kezang sat on top of it, looking at the heads, but his mind wandered away: I really want to play Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings again.

Sitting on it was really boring, so the emperor stood up and walked around to inspect the examination room.

This is also in line with the rules, but some candidates have poor psychological endurance. When the emperor came to his side, he would get nervous, shake his hand, and stain the answer sheet, so it would be a pity.

If this kind of thing really happens, it's not the emperor's fault, it's your own poor psychological quality and poor ability to withstand stress, so you can't do big things!

In the future, when you become a Jinshi or an official, you often have to see the emperor. If you are nervous every day, do you still need to start your work!

Zhu Kezang stood directly beside Pan Boheng.

Pan Boheng, who was full of inspiration, wrote like a god at this time. He first flattered him, saying that the ancient sages are not as good as your majesty. With the right people doing the right things, the emperor will naturally be able to "rule with his bow".

It also achieved the goal of "Holy Son of Heaven".

He wrote very fast, and before he knew it, a page had been filled to the brim.

At this moment, he noticed a figure standing next to his examination paper, and he saw a bright yellow clothes corner from the corner of his eyes.

Who is this, just think about it with your ass.

By coincidence, Pan Boheng picked up his paper with both hands, raised it above his head respectfully, and asked Zhu Kezang to read it!
Zhu Kezang raised his eyebrows. This kid is very courageous, and he is indeed the younger brother of the beloved general Pan Aqiang.

Seeing that Zhu Kezang took the test paper, Pan Boheng raised his head, smiled at the emperor honestly, then quickly lowered his head and continued to answer the paper.

Zhu Kezang was slightly taken aback, this guy is a bit interesting!
If it was someone else who smirked at himself like this, he might offend the emperor.

But it's different if it's an acquaintance Pan Boheng.

Pan Boheng has always written better than usual during the exam, otherwise he will go all the way to the palace exam.

Although his article is not verbatim, it is also well-organized, smooth and clear.

Zhu Kezang read Pan Boheng's answer sheet, nodded slightly, and walked away again.

In this large square, besides the chief examiner Zhu Kezang, there were also several deputy chief examiners. They saw the emperor walking directly to Pan Boheng's side, and they even read Pan Boheng's article in person.

Several assistant examiners had their thoughts turned. This kid is definitely not simple. When the time comes to mark the papers, he has to show some face to the emperor's favorite...

The Palace Examination is a ranking examination, so there is no ambiguity!
Pan Boheng was excited when he saw Zhu Kezang Yu read his article.

This matter of taking advantage of the situation is not in vain!
What's more, in the officialdom, the rules of superiority and inferiority are the most important. With the emperor's approval, it will be easier for other examiners to pass!

After answering the questions earnestly, when the palace examination was over, Pan Boheng lined up with other candidates and exited the palace neatly.

In the end, he was notified that he would come to the palace tomorrow!

Because only the written test has been completed in the palace test, His Majesty still needs an interview!
They can still accept the written test, and face the emperor in the interview, which is a bit scary to be honest!

But there is no way, they can't hide what should come.

The next day, Zhu Kezang was still sitting in the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, interviewing a Jinshi who was about to be named on the gold list.

Interviews are questions and answers.

Let Zhu Kezang ask questions and let these tributes answer.

Why add an interview?

Because Zhu Kezang wants to streamline the establishment!

After passing the interview, Gongshi becomes Jinshi and can be an official.If you fail the interview, it will be a one-vote veto. No matter how well you did in the previous exam, the title of Gongshi that you have worked so hard to pass will be cancelled.

Different from the previous practice that only the ranks were determined in the palace examination, and the officials would not be dismissed, the interview presided over by Zhu Kezang had already set the target of "removal".

About [-]% of Gongshi will be brushed off by the interview, and they will fall from the clouds to the mortal world, and it is very likely that they will drop two levels at a time
This is Zhu Kezang's exploration of imperial examination reform!
Because Zhu Kezang has decided to revoke the rank of Juren when the time is ripe!

The Ming Dynasty established two levels of honors, Juren and Xiucai, and granted certain privileges to Juren and Xiucai in the township.

Zhu Kezang felt that they were one of the important reasons for the financial collapse in the late Ming Dynasty.

It is no lower than the burden brought by the vassal king and the clan.

Beginning in the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of scholars at all levels was further improved in the system. Not only the scholars who passed the Jinshi in the palace examination were directly awarded the official position and enjoyed extremely high honor and status, but also the scholars who passed the provincial and county examinations began to enjoy All kinds of privileges.

Scholars who passed the county examination were called scholars. They not only had the right to take higher-level examinations, but also received treatment such as not seeing county magistrates, exempting part of the tax, etc., and began to have a higher social status in the county.

Juren was even more exaggerated. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Juren had tax-free rights of hundreds of acres or more in the village, and local officials would treat them differently and regard them as members of the ruling class. There will also be a lot of dependencies.

In this way, Juren can attract many villagers to dedicate their fields to him in order to enjoy its shelter, even if they lose some personal rights.

Even if people were poor before they passed the exam, they would have inexhaustible social resources once they passed the exam, and they would become recognized gentry.

Many Juren who feel that they have little hope of participating in the examination do not want to go to Beijing at all, and they can already become a master in their hometown.

Therefore, there is a saying in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that "Jinshi with gold and Jinshi with silver", because of course you can get an official if you win a Jinshi, but the ups and downs of the official life are very risky. If you go, you may not be as comfortable as raising people in the countryside.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, in the Song Dynasty, which was known as the happiness of scholars, only when you become an official can you have fame and the privilege of tax exemption.

But the number of officials is limited after all!It's just tens of thousands.But the number of scholars and juren is out of bounds, there are hundreds of thousands!
With several 10 people sharing the imperial court's taxes, isn't it normal for the Ming emperor to die poor?

This evil government must be abolished, and Zhu Kezang must do it himself. He is the emperor immediately and has the qualifications to do what he wants to do!
