After rebirth, Her Royal Highness is a black lotus flower

Chapter 141 Don't Trust Him
Shen Qianzhao pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "When the Jiupin Zhongzheng System was first established, the criteria for evaluation were family background, morality, and talent."

"However, in recent years, Zhongzheng is generally elected by second-rank noble officials, and the selection of officials is completely controlled by noble officials. This family background has become the only criterion, and the other two are completely ignored."

There is an atmosphere of clear talk in the court. Zhongzheng doesn't ask about personal talents and virtues, but only needs to know his family background.

Many children from poor families finally got the fourth rank of Xiangpin after going through a difficult process, but the children of the gentry family could get the second rank of Xiangpin because of their active chatter.

As long as the sons of the gentry rule the roost in the Qingtan, they can get the top rank among the rural ranks, and thus start a high-ranking official.

This is not so much about selecting talents as it is about suppressing low-level talents from poor families. In the end, it became an election that only the lower-level people would participate in.

Xie Lin nodded in agreement, "That's true. The Zhongzheng three years ago was the commander-in-chief of Zhongshu Ling."

That year, many children from poor families with excellent reputations regretted leaving Beijing.

"Shen Xiaozhao, what's your plan?"

Shen Qianzhao tapped twice on the table with her fingertips, "This trend has already been established. We must either try to restore the deteriorating Zhongzheng system, pay more attention to personal talents and virtues, rather than family background, or... establish a new system."

As for the implementation, it must be done step by step slowly, and the prince needs to speak to Emperor Yongjia.

Neither is easy, and of the two, she prefers the latter.

Xie Lin's pupils gradually widened, "It's not easy to establish a new system. First of all, those gentry people will oppose it!"

The corners of Shen Qianzhao's lips twitched slightly, "So, we must establish a new system without changing the current Zhongzheng election."

Seeing that Shen Qianzhao was holding the winning ticket, Xie Lin couldn't help asking curiously, "You already have an idea?"

Shen Qianzhao nodded slightly, which is why she wanted to hold the power of military supplies in Xie Lin's hands in the first place, and then fought for new weapons for him.

Emperor Father already had the idea of ​​reusing officials of the Han clan, and wanting to make an engagement for himself and Xie Lin was also the first step in breaking the rules.

It was just because she was only a princess, and her father didn't elaborate, so those stubborn veterans didn't stop her.

Today's Xie Lin already has the right to discuss some major court decisions, and with his father's respect, as long as the prince's elder brother proposes a new system, Xie Lin's people and the officials of the Han clan will support the new system. It can be pushed smoothly.

Shen Qianzhao explained to Xie Lin one by one what he had studied for a while.

The power of Zhongzheng is now in the hands of the elites of the gentry, and these clans, officials and officials protect each other, and there is no justice.

Therefore, it is necessary to select talents through the method of examinations, and gradually eliminate Zhongzheng's evaluation of personnel based on family background, in order to show justice.

In addition, schools were set up in various places in the Jin Dynasty to teach students. They were specially established to train people from humble backgrounds to take the exam, and those who passed the exam were hired as officials.

As for the children of the gentry, there are also schools such as Guozixue in the middle of Beijing to teach.

Electing some officials with this examination system can create a new atmosphere and gradually replace the ethos of the gentry's elites. No matter whether it is a poor family or a gentry child, they can take the exam instead of relying on their family status, and they can enter the officialdom on their own. .

Xie Lin's eyes lit up, he admired Shen Qianzhao even more, and felt a little regretful, "Shen Xiaozhao, it's a pity that you are a daughter."

"If you are a man, with such a view, I am afraid that you will turn the whole court upside down."

If this new examination system is really implemented, those gentry ministers are afraid that they will go crazy.

The corners of Shen Qianzhao's mouth curled up slightly, "What about the daughter's body?"

I'll still turn the bottom up for you.

Xie Lin thought about another question and frowned, "But how are you going to mention this to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

This is a big problem.

If Shen Xiaozhao was a man, all of these would not be a problem, but she is a woman, so everything is blocked.

Xie Lin couldn't figure out how she was going to inform His Highness the Crown Prince in order to propose a new system and open a school.

"Don't worry about this, I have my own way, but later, you need to propose some specific systems later."

General Xie and Xie Ming are military officers, and they have always been just doing the work of dogs and horses, but Xie Lin, who has obtained the power of military supplies, is different.

Shen Qianzhao poured himself a cup of tea to drink. In fact, many things are better implemented by different people.

夜晚
Shen Qianzhao came to the East Palace with the brochure that had been compiled for a few days, and the newly boiled herbal diet.

At this time, Shen Qianmu was dealing with some government affairs assigned by Emperor Yongjia in the study, and was worrying about the three-yearly Zhongzheng election.

He more or less understood his father's thoughts. If he intended to divide the status of the gentry equally, then he had to think carefully about the fairness of the evaluation.

However, the power of Zhongzheng is in the hands of the gentry, and if they want to take it back, it will inevitably cause disputes in the court.

"elder brother?"

Shen Qianmu, who knew that Shen Qianzhao was coming, immediately put down the booklet and got up to greet him.

"Zhao Zhao, why don't you let someone tell you, I went there."

This study room is far away, only books, and it looks a bit dull and dull.

Shen Qianzhao put a bowl of medicinal food on the table, "Brother is busy with government affairs, and I'm fine, just take two extra steps."

She took Shen Qianmu's arm and pressed him on the seat, "But now, brother has to eat this medicinal meal first. No matter how busy you are, you shouldn't forget to eat dinner."

Shen Qianmu glanced outside the door, Yi Yao immediately shrank back, "Yi Yao is gossiping with you again?"

"Don't believe him, he is a bit exaggerated."

Shen Qianzhao laughed, "Obviously it's my brother who didn't take it seriously, so why did it become Yi Yao's exaggeration?"

Yi Yao outside the door nodded again and again, feeling that what the princess said was very true!

Shen Qianmu shook her head, and drank the medicinal food slowly.

However, Shen Qianzhao took out the booklet from the food box, turned to one of the pages, and asked Shen Qianmu curiously, "Brother, I have been reading for the past two days, and there is something I don't understand, can I ask my brother a little bit?"

Shen Qianmu smiled, with a gentle smile, "Just ask."

It is rare that Zhao Zhao has such a heart to study.

Only then did Shen Qianzhao put the brochure in front of Shen Qianmu's eyes, and said slowly, "It says here that the academy is a place for teaching, regardless of family status, it is a place where talented scholars from all over the world gather, but why have I never seen Xie Ming before?" Brother and the others go to Guozi Academy for classes?"

Shen Qianmu took a sip of herbal food, glanced at the brochure, just about to explain to her sister, but suddenly thought of another point!
That's right, most of the schools in Beijing are private schools, and most of them only accept students from noble families, but children from poor families have nowhere to go.

If this is the case in central Beijing, I'm afraid it is the same in other places in Dajin.

If you want to fulfill your father's wishes, it is not enough to just promote the current poor family in the court. If you can cultivate a group of poor students who are both good in character and learning
Shen Qianmu suddenly put down the medicinal diet, picked up the book and flipped through it, "Zhao Zhao, where did you get this book from?"
