Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 291

Plans don't always keep up with changes.

Originally, I thought it would be possible to attract a large number of scholars in five days.Who would have thought that until the day he took office, only three or two big cats and kittens visited his house.Not to mention the choice, even ten people are not enough, and two of them came to try to cheat money.

Fortunately, there was still one who met the requirements, Luo Yan sent this person to the Lu Mansion without further ado.

The principle of buying horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold has been practiced since ancient times.There is this one person who goes in and out of the Lu Mansion and Duke Cheng's Mansion every day. There are also a few people who were rejected by Luo Yan but still got the money as a demonstration. There are more than [-] copies of greeting posts and travel papers sent by Zizi.

Sometimes, having too many choices can be an annoyance.

Now Luo Yan is facing such troubles.There are so many scrolls and invitations, plus going to Lu Deming's mansion every day to read the revised content of the day, but he is exhausted.

As the so-called poverty-stricken plan, Luo Yan, who was a little bored this day, returned home, after reading the new travel papers and greeting cards sent by his servants, he finally couldn't take it anymore, he had an idea, and came up with an excellent way to select good candidates. talent.

The next day was still sunny.

It was early summer, and Chang'an was slightly drunk by the warm wind.The grass that can be seen everywhere is glowing with a faint green, and I feel comfortable when I look at it.And not far away, there is a weeping willow or elm poplar, whose curved branches are entwined with green colors and sway with the breeze.

But in the past, when they saw such a scene, they had to stop and look at it, and even the scholars who Shixing said a few words, all of them were a little abnormal today.

Such exquisite scenery was left behind by them, and the teahouse and tavern they had always loved to go to had no appeal for them.Those who were familiar with each other met on the street, and no longer flaunted the love affairs of the Qinlou Chuguan to each other, but asked with a serious expression: "Brother, have you ever heard of that news?"

If you meet someone who knows, you will nod your head and ask back: "Forget it. I don't know if my virtuous brother will go when the time comes?"

"That's natural, how can you give up such an opportunity so easily."

When meeting someone who doesn't know, he asked curiously: "What is brother talking about, can you tell me a little bit?"

"Mr. Cheng Guo saw that there were too many people who went to vote for the post, so he decided to invite me to Qujiang Pond to assist in the literary affairs when he took a rest in a few days. There will be several doctors of Guozixue and bachelors of Hongwenguan. , and will select a dozen people to go to the Lu Mansion to help."

"There is such a good thing, thank you brother. When the time comes, let's go together."

That's right, Luo Yan came up with such a way.If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. Pfft, if you make a mistake, the gap will not be reflected.

Received one by one, who can know if there are any talented people behind.It's better to hold a literary event and let these people compete with each other.At that time, we will not only be able to select the people that Lu Deming needs, but also take the opportunity to recruit some great talents.

The credit for recommending talents is not small.

With this idea in mind, Luo Yan asked his servants to release the news early in the morning, and those who had given him name cards before also sent invitations one by one.

For a while, Chang'an entered the restlessness of midsummer ahead of schedule.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin, who had just come down to court, was told about this matter.He turned his head and smiled at Luo Yan, who was on the side of the attendant, and said, "I thought that you would not make any more trouble if I gave you a free job. Who would have thought that even if you were tied by your side, you would be able to make troubles in Chang'an?" rain."

Li Shimin's words were half laughing and half teasing. If he met other people, he would probably say a word of panic.Obviously Luo Yan is not someone else, and his uniqueness is his hallmark.Seeing Li Shimin talking to him at this time, Luo Yan stepped forward and said: "This is the restless temperament of a humble minister. Besides, if you don't leave some good words for such a beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the creator? a lot of thought."

"You just make up nonsense. It's not like everyone doesn't know what you want to do." Li Shimin almost said that he was making it up. He joked, and then said: "However, how do you do this article? I heard that some time ago The scribe in your house is at Dr. Lu's house every day?"

"It's just that the teacher is old and frail, but there are some things at hand that need to be consulted and recorded. As a disciple, I can't be around personally, so I thought of this way to select a few people who are proficient in classics and history, so as to assist the teacher."

"You are very filial. However, you must pay attention to the rules. Don't let the censor impeach you at that time, I can't save you." Li Shimin mentioned a little bit, but did not interfere with the details of the Wenhui.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The selection of candidates is also a big wave. After layers of checkpoints, there must be very few who can finally come to us. It is nothing more than more people watching. If it is not possible, the humble minister will Waiting for the face to ask His Majesty for some envoys of the Jinwu Guard."

Li Shimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are brave enough to use public property for private use, and you are not afraid that I will hand you over to Dali Temple for conviction."

"Where is your Majesty talking, there will definitely be a lot of people at that time. Even if I don't say it now, the Jinwu Guard will have to send more people to Qujiang to prevent accidents. Therefore, it is better for me to ask for help." A message, to the General of the Jinwu Guard, then you can take precautions in advance.”

"Okay, okay, you're the only one who is too unreasonable. I'm sure about this. But, remember, you have to have a degree in everything."

"Your Majesty, taking advantage of this matter, I would like to say a few words to Your Majesty." Seeing Li Shimin's response, Luo Yan relaxed a lot, and immediately wanted to raise some thoughts in his heart.

Hearing that Luo Yan wanted to speak, the ears of the housekeeper were all straightened.Luo Yan has been with Li Shimin for several months, and he has never done anything to speak up.If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't say anything about flattery, it would almost make people think he was a flatterer.

Although I don't know what Luo Yan is going to say, but it is recorded, it is always correct.

"Scientific examinations have many benefits. However, although scientific examinations are popular nowadays, there are still many disadvantages."

"Oh, tell me in detail."

"First of all, the origin of the students is a problem. The government issued an edict to open up the qualifications of candidates for scientific examinations. But this is not enough. As far as I know, the scientific examinations for poor scholars in various states and counties over the years Qualifications are not as open as expected."

What Luo Yan said meant that Li Shimin understood that the original scientific research was to solve the monopoly of knowledge, but now there are still many restrictions, which is naturally a big problem.Turning his head to the Zhongshu Sheren beside him, he said, "You should keep this matter in mind, and together with the reasonableness of what Luo Yan said later, draft an imperial edict and implement it in the three provinces."

"And what else?"

"The second is the innovation of the scientific examination system."

This sentence made Li Shimin very surprised: "Why, do you think the current system is still insufficient?"

"Not only is there, but it is quite a big deficiency. Earlier, I just talked about the background of the students. Now I will explain to His Majesty the process of the students participating in the scientific examination." Luo Yan bowed and said: " First of all, there is the question of the chief examiner. Since the Kingdom of China, there have been seven times of scientific examinations, and a member of the Ministry of Officials, Wailang, was sent as the chief examiner."

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Examiner Wai Lang is an idle job. The Mingjing Division is better. After all, all the answers are definite. However, the Jinshi Division is named after policy theory, and the current affairs that scholars talk about can be decided by an examiner. Therefore, , the chief examiner should be the chief official of the three provinces and six ministries, and those who are familiar with state affairs should be appointed."

Regarding this point, Li Shimin was a little noncommittal. Anyway, the Jinshi selected now is not bad at all.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Luo Yan didn't interrupt, but continued: "The second is this scroll."

"Oh? What happened to the scroll?"

"I was in Beijing a few years ago, and I knew that after the scientific examination, the papers were popular, and even affected the naming. This matter is very unfair, so I specifically brought it up and reported it to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin didn't know about all kinds of joints before, but now he heard Luo Yan say it, and at the same time, he was quite curious and felt that there was something wrong with it.But Li Shimin's Li Shimin and Zhongshu Sheren, who were a group of literati, were astonished at this moment.

Luo Yan is going to break the rhythm of the sky, and he will directly attack these ills.

"The current affairs policy has been restructured. Candidates will be announced when they enter the examination room. This matter is originally a test of quick wit and talent. Wouldn't it be unfair for students to be disturbed by the test paper. And the test paper is good or bad depends on the examiner's likes and dislikes. Isn't that biased."

"That makes sense. In your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"

"Every scientific examination, some writers will be called to copy the number of the examination paper and paste the name. After the selection is made, the original examination paper will be compared. If there is no mistake, you can select the scholar."

As soon as Luo Yan said this, someone beside him exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Considering that there are thousands of scholars in the scientific research, it would be a waste of money to deal with them like this. And the scholars will all be in the capital. Waiting for the list, such a delay, I am afraid that some people will not be able to bear it."

Even Li Shimin nodded his head on this matter and said: "That's true. In this way, wouldn't it take a lot of time to complete it?"

Luo Yan just smiled at this: "Your Majesty, if you get a talented person, not to mention spending this little money in a year, it will be more, and it is worth it. The old man bought a horse bone with a thousand dollars. Now that the scientific research is out, Yan What's more, as far as I know, after the scientific examination, the official department still needs to be selected, and many people still have to wait for the appointment of officials. During this time, it is better to let the scholars who came to the scientific examination to report to the minister Xingjuan, if you really have talent and learning, you don't have to worry about the princes in the court not being favored."

After thinking over and over again, Li Shimin finally nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then this matter is also on the agenda. Luo Yan, if you have any questions, let's talk about it together."

"The last thing is to ask your majesty not to block the way of recommendation. Although the scientific examination is good, there are still various disadvantages. If your majesty relies heavily on it for convenience, I am afraid that in the future, not only will there be no fewer talents in the countryside, but there will be more more and more."

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and then told the staff of Zhongshushe: "What Luo Yan just said, write it down and hand it over to the three provinces for processing. In addition, Luo Yan recommends talented people, criticizes the current problems, and contributes to the country. He will reward a hundred pieces of brocade and silk and a hundred catties of gold. Another edict is issued to let the courtiers recommend talents, and don't hide their secrets."

Luo Yan was delighted to hear Li Shimin's order.
