In the end, the result of the court discussion was that, according to the emperor's wishes, in the second year of the Apocalypse, the provincial admission system was tried to be implemented.

Of course, after the implementation of the new system, after the court has discussed it, it is necessary to form a complete set of institutional teams as soon as possible.

This is the first time since Zhu Youxiao crossed over to try to make a series of relatively progressive reforms.

At this time, the importance of a competent official is often revealed.

For example, Liu Zongzhou and other Donglin remnants, although after the dispersal of the dynasty, everyone was dissatisfied, but when they returned to the official office, they also did their best.

There are also "eunuch" officials such as Wei Guangwei and Gu Bingqian, whose personal abilities are also good.

After returning home, the cabinet and the ministry held an all-night meeting in the military engine room of the Xinuan Pavilion.

When they all arrived at the military engine room, they found that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who had left very late in the past, had already deliberately left to discuss the philosophy of life with the Empress.

Since the emperor is not there, things are much simpler, after all, everyone can speak freely without too many scruples.

These important ministers of the court exchanged a few words of greeting, and they entered the topic as soon as possible.

The main purpose of this meeting of the Cabinet Joint Officials was to discuss how to effectively solve the problems that have arisen in the admission of scientific examinations in the past 300 years.

Combine the candidate's region with their origin, make overall plans for the allocation of admission places, admit candidates by province, region and class, and delineate the admission work, these are all things they need to do.

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning shone through the eaves of the window and shone into the Kunning Palace, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse on the dragon bed had woken up at some point, leaning quietly and muttering:

"At this time, it's time for them to go back..."

The whispered murmur still disturbed the dream of the queen in her arms, and the two looked at each other and smiled, but it was Zhu Youxiao who retreated from the people who had come to the palace, and said lightly:

"I and the queen have to sleep for half a day, and you are waiting outside the palace."

The voices of the people in the capital came out of the Forbidden City, turning into a warm breeze and blowing through the ears of Liu Zongzhou, who had just stepped out of the Xinuan Pavilion.

He sighed softly, exhausted.

He really didn't understand that this kind of provincial admission system would obviously slow down the development of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and it would also make the scholars in the Jiangnan region dissatisfied with the imperial court and turn away from them.

Comparatively speaking, the so-called loyalty of the scholars in the remote areas thus obtained is really not worth mentioning.

However, since the court and ministerial meetings have ended, the provincial admission system appeared in the Ming Dynasty in the second year of the Apocalypse, which is the matter of the dust settled.

"Perhaps... Cui Chengxiu is right, is it really my Liu Zongzhou who is too pedantic and conservative? ”

The officials went home to their homes in the morning sun, and after fierce discussions all night, every back was the same as the emperor in the Forbidden City, looking lonely and thin.

Some sighed, saying that the nearly 1,000-year-old imperial examination system set by the ancestors was about to be broken, and the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty was about to fall into darkness.

There are also those who are excited, saying that the hand of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is really a far-sighted and brilliant move.

No matter what you do, there are different opinions, and Zhu Youxiao has been prepared for this.

It can be expected that after the implementation of the separate admission system, the competitiveness of tribute students in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the north-south regions will be weakened, and the candidates in the northwest region will perform better.

Naturally, in the palace examination of the Renxu Branch, Zhu Youxiao also made some restrictions on the second generation of officials and the second generation of Shang to increase the appearance rate of scholars from poor families.

Whether it is useful or not, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care at all, as a traveler in later generations, it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, this basic common sense is still understood.

The main purpose of this hand is actually to win more scholars' allegiance to the imperial court, so as to weaken Donglin's influence among the people.

I believe that under the influence of the "Beijing Daily" and the imperial examination system, Donglin's time to "govern the government remotely" under the court is not much!

......

On February 26 of the second year of the Apocalypse, four days before the examination of the Renxu Branch.

In the past few days, there will basically be no more scholars to "review" the test center.

Those who have the ability know that they will definitely be able to get the Jinshi and the first, and if they can't do it, they won't work hard, thinking about mixing with the Jinshi background, it's not bad, what do you want to do so much!

In life, be content and happy!

Tongjinshi was born, and he is stronger than most people, even if he has half a foot in the official career, even if he goes back to his hometown, it is not the same.

But as soon as the news of the court came out, everyone was stupid.

The cabinet and the ministry jointly issued a circular in Beijing, and the "Beijing Daily" also published a circular in the same periodical, the specific content of which involved a major reform of the imperial examination system that affected the millennium.

This is beyond the reach of many people!

Many people didn't expect that in their lifetime, they would actually meet the imperial court to admit students by provinces, and they would take the test papers according to the provinces.

If this had been before, they wouldn't have even dared to think about it.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang divided the north and south volumes, and Jiajing added the middle volume, which has overcome many resistances.

This emperor is indeed too young, he is only seventeen this year, and he wants to do things one by one, and he never thought that this kind of reform that affects the scientific examination will have a far-reaching impact!

Of course, in addition to the mouth cannon, the tribute students in various places also have different attitudes.

For example, those who came from afar in Guizhou, southwest and other places basically held back their laughter and watched the jokes of Gongsheng in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang, because the imperial court almost directly increased the quota of their remote provinces.

In the same way, since ancient times, the tribute students in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who have been major provinces in the imperial examination, are full of righteous indignation.

Although this kind of reform has little impact on the top three, it is the most test of real kung fu for these half-people.

I was going to mix, but I was afraid that I would be forcibly squeezed out by candidates in remote areas.

The most panicked is this group of people, although their own strength is not strong, but after all, their personal face is on the table.

You are a Jiangnan Gongsheng, you haven't taken the Yungui exam, and when you go back to your hometown, you won't be laughed off by the students of the same society?

Do you want to lose face, and can't you get into the career?

In any case, since this reform of the imperial court has been promulgated, there is absolutely no intention of repentance.

There are still four days, hurry up the preparation for the exam, the entrainment of the entrainment, anyway, we can't lose face in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

On the day before the exam, the tribute students in remote areas gathered in the famous Huihui Pavilion of Beijing to hold a banquet.

One of them raised his glass and laughed:

"Ladies and gentlemen, on the occasion of the Renxu Branch Palace, the imperial court has made this earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods, for the sake of our remote scholars!"

"The emperor is so sincere, we can't lose the face of his old man, in the second year of the Apocalypse, the era of Jiangsu and Zhejiang social studies in the imperial examination is gone forever!"

"Brother Long Fu said it well!"

Sun Zhiqi's voice landed, and all the gongsheng also raised their glasses.

Catch up with such a good time, you can finally show your talents and learn, get a better reputation, and let those people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Gongsheng see that our Gongsheng in Shandong and Yunnan are not worse than you!

Sun Zhiqi's audience was all happy, and he was also full of a cup, and his little face was red and a little drunk.

After sitting for a moment, he got up again and said:

"Everyone, drink this cup to the full!"

"Today's emperor has made such reforms, which can be described as a rare saint since ancient times, and we must work together to serve the emperor!"

Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison:

"Definitely, definitely!"
