Looking at Beichen in a blink of an eye, he asked, "The imperial examination is indeed of great benefit to Qin, but are you not afraid that after this system appears, your Tiandao Academy will decline?"
.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"If the imperial examination system is implemented, don't you worry about the decline of the Tiandao Academy?"
The meaning of Ying Zheng's question is obvious.
Although Tiandao Academy focuses on cultivating talents, it is also because of the high quality of the students who graduate from the academy that they are often absorbed by various departments of Qin State.
That is to say, in this era when the nobles controlled their official careers, the Tiandao Academy itself was a different kind. It could directly bypass the big nobles and directly open up a way to enter the officialdom.
Originally, the role of the academy was unique. For the poor, only by entering the academy would they have the opportunity to become a master.
And if the imperial examination system is created, then most people will have another choice, they can enter the official career by taking the imperial examination.
This also means that Tiandao Academy has lost its monopoly position and can no longer control the promotion path of poor students.
But at this time, Beichen smiled slightly, and then replied, "Although the Tiandao Academy is also an important way for the empire to export talents, the main significance of its existence is to cultivate talents."
"The academy is a place to cultivate talents, while the imperial examination is a way to select talents to be officials. In my opinion, there may be some contradictions between the two, but in general they complement each other."
"It can be predicted that after the implementation of the imperial examination system, there will be a wave of frenzy across the country. My Heavenly Dao Academy is the best place to cultivate talents, and those who want to become officials will definitely gather here."
"At that time, the threshold of the academy will probably be broken, so how can it decline?"
Since Beichen proposed the imperial examination on his own initiative, he must have thought about this question.After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that this matter was a good thing for Daqin, the common people, or the academy.
Although on the surface, the importance of the academy has decreased, in fact the more prosperous the imperial examination, the higher its status will be.
This is like the tourism industry in later generations, which will drive the development of many industries such as catering, entertainment, and culture.
Moreover, even the academy and the imperial examinations can help people step into the official career, but the gold content of the two sides is not the same.
It's like those world-class prestigious schools and third-rate universities are all universities, but the actual gap is very large.
Only after there are contrasts and gaps can they better demonstrate their own advantages and allow the Tiandao Academy to gain a more detached status.
Since it is beneficial to both parties, why not facilitate this matter?
As a time traveler, he clearly understands how difficult the grassroots people in this era are living.
For most people, no matter how hard they try, they cannot succeed.
Although the Shiqing Shilu system has stabilized the social structure to a certain extent, it has completely sealed off the room for advancement of the lower classes.
Mingming can only be a commoner forever, and nobles will always be nobles for generations.
This is so unfair.
As a senior executive of the empire, he would not be naive enough to pursue equality for everyone, but it is still possible to change this status quo to a certain extent.
Although he is not a very good person, since he has a certain ability, why can't he do something meaningful?
The imperial examination system, which was more than a thousand years ahead of schedule, is not only a path he opened up for tens of millions of people, but also some feedback to the world.
Of course, he also knew that doing such a thing would definitely arouse the opposition of many nobles, so Ying Zheng had to do it himself.
To be honest, if you change to an individual emperor, you may be cautious about opening the imperial examination. After all, once you do this, it will hinder the interests of many people.
But Yingzheng is different, he has wiped out the six kingdoms in Shandong, who would dare to jump out and shout?
The military power and political power are all concentrated in his hands, and the people below are overwhelmed. If someone dares to provoke trouble, it will definitely not end well.
As for Beichen, he is naturally not afraid. Although he does not have as much power as Yingzheng to facilitate this matter, his own strength is the best guarantee. Whoever dares to stretch out his claws can just chop it off.
It just so happened that he had just broken through to the late stage of the unity of man and nature some time ago, and he still wanted to find someone to practice his skills.
Within the Kyushu, as long as he doesn't meet a few people, he can walk sideways.
After hearing the other party's answer, Ying Zheng smiled lightly and expressed some of his own thoughts, and then made a decision on the spot to settle the matter.
Then the two discussed some things in the imperial examination together, such as the method and direction of the examination, and the general rules.
After talking for a while, Ying Zheng said, "Since it has been determined that the examination will be conducted in the form of a written examination, in order to meet the needs of the imperial examination, a very large number of bamboo slips are required. This is a problem..."
In this day and age, there is no paper made of grass and wood fiber, so bamboo slips are mainly used for writing on weekdays, and brocade silk or leather paper is used in a few cases.
However, these kinds of writing tools have obvious defects. The bamboo slips are too bulky and cannot write many words.If you want to write a book, you may need piles of bamboo slips.
Although silk paper is light and easy to carry, it is relatively expensive and cannot be widely popularized.
And if the imperial examination is really going to be held, it is conservatively estimated that hundreds of thousands of people will participate. By that time, the cost required for this will be a very scary figure.
First of all, it is certainly not possible to use things like brocade and silk to write, that is too extravagant, and the country cannot afford it.
If all bamboo slips were used, it is conceivable that they would pile up into mountains.
Whether it is during transportation, when candidates answer questions, or when examiners make comments, it will be a huge project.
Not only extremely inconvenient, but also consume a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
The current Great Qin has just been unified, and it hasn't been long since the war has subsided, and the national strength has not yet fully recovered. It is not easy to conduct such a difficult imperial examination.
Hearing this, Bei Chen also guessed what the other party was thinking, and said, "Maybe I can just help solve the problem that His Majesty is thinking about."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect that such a problem could be solved by the other party.
