Several people stood still, and Zhuang Mengxiao took the lead in speaking, "Emperor Qiqi, today Lord Bai and his ministers put forward some suggestions for the reform of the imperial examination, and the proposal to build a academy. ”

"Oh?" A trace of doubt flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he turned to look at Bai Guanguan, and his voice was deep, "Proposal for the reform of the imperial examination? Building a discharge? Let's hear it. ”

He was curious to see what kind of advice she could make.

Huangfu Chen also looked at Bai Wanguan with a curious expression, twisting his eyebrows and pondering.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Guanguan took a step forward, bowed to the emperor, and slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there are some drawbacks in the imperial examination system of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at this time. ”

"For example, in the township examination on August 9 not long after, after the exam, the examiner can directly see the candidate's name when he marks the paper, which is very bad! If there is a will, someone will definitely bribe the examiner in advance. In this way, some of the people who make the cut will not live up to their name, and some of the truly talented people will be buried. ”

"Moreover, the topic of the exam can be known three days in advance, which is not good, and if someone deliberately cheats, it is too easy to do!"

"Weichen suggested that from August 9 to later, whether it is the township examination, the meeting examination or the palace examination, the imperial court will send officials to unify the content of the examination, and candidates cannot write their own names during the examination.

"After the exam, the examiner immediately isolates and marks the papers, so that the examiner can't see the candidate's name, only the student number, and then check the student number and name after the marking is completed, and there will be no cheating in advance."

"Also, Weichen believes that many of the children of the poor nowadays, although they have the heart to study, do not have the conditions to study, although they are quite talented, they cannot afford to hire a master, so that many people have the idea that it is difficult for the children of the poor to get ahead."

"I can build academies in various states in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so that those poor children can study for free and be self-sufficient in food and lodging, but we can build canteens and dormitories in the academies, let them live there, and implement fully closed trial management."

"If you need to pay for food and accommodation, you need to spend your own money, but the price should be more affordable!"

"The main purpose is to select and train talents for the imperial court. Everyone in the academy can enter, but if there is anyone who wants to live in it, they will be expelled directly, and they will not be allowed to re-enter the academy for the rest of their lives. ”

"The academy is just to give those poor children a platform to learn, and the management is stricter, and those who want to make a mess will be scared away."

"And the academy, mainly for those poor children, people who can't afford to hire a master, the children of rich families must still hire their own masters, after all, the academy is to be completely closed management test, during the period can not be visited, the master in the academy, dedicated to cultivating talents for my Eastern Jin Dynasty."

"Hmmm......"

Hearing what Bai Guanguan said, the emperor nodded, showing admiration, "The suggestion you said is excellent, but if you want to build an academy in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, you will inevitably need a lot of silver, and the treasury is not rich at this time, if you take out so much silver taels at once, the treasury will be empty, and if other countries start a war, it will inevitably cause serious consequences." ”

Bai Guanguan smiled faintly and directly said the way to deal with it, "Emperor Qiqi, this silver, we can raise money in the situation of fundraising." ”

"The emperor can send people to inform the state officials and people in various places, post the emperor's list, saying that he will cultivate talents for the country, build academies, raise donations, and let people raise donations."

"There will be many people who are unwilling to donate this fundraiser, what can the emperor do, and the fundraisers will give them some benefits."

"For example, if you donate three hundred taels of silver, the poetry society will issue a certificate of honor, stamped with the official seal of the poetry society, and inscribed in the handwriting of Lord Zhuang."

"The Poetry Society is a place of official titles that the people of the world are very eager for, and it also has a very high prestige, and they must be very happy to get the honorary certificate of the Poetry Society."

"Anyone who donates three hundred taels and one thousand taels of silver can ask the prince to inscribe the honorary certificate and stamp the prince's official seal."

"Whoever donates gold, the emperor personally inscribes the certificate of honor and stamps the emperor's jade seal."

"The world is big, there are not a few rich people, I Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are more than tens of millions of people, one tael per person, is tens of millions of taels, and a small amount adds up."

"Moreover, Weichen believes that there will be many people who want to get the honorary certificate inscribed by the emperor himself!"

"They have never seen the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor's certificate of honor will definitely be treasured, and maybe, it will be left for future generations to show."

"The place of fundraising, it needs to be open, fair and just, among many people, raise donations on the spot, sign their names and amounts by hand, as a display, and officials also need to register the above amounts, because on the certificate of honor, they need to fill in their amount!"

"In this case, there will be no officials who are greedy for ink."

"This is only for the people, businessmen, officials outside the capital, there are many officials in my capital, each of them has a lot of private money at home, the emperor can directly ask people to write out the silver taels raised when they go to the court, and read it out on the spot."

"Fundraising, this is for my Eastern Jin Dynasty to cultivate talents, but also to take from the people and use it for the people, this is to do good deeds, the amount of donations also depends on their own ability, all of you are important people in my Eastern Jin Dynasty court, your heart will be free, will not be stingy with this money."

"Moreover, everyone has a comparison mentality, if you read out the amount of donations raised by each person on the spot above the main hall, then the money donated by the adults will only increase again and again, not decrease."

"Of course, this needs to have a good start, and the first person to take the initiative to raise money is extremely important."

"The amount of donations he raised should not be too low, otherwise it will pull down the amount of money donated by officials; But don't go too high, or they'll be daunted. ”

"This first person still needs to be decided by the emperor!"

Hearing what Bai Guanguan said, the emperor nodded, "Your method is very good!" ”

In this way, it is a good way to raise money without spending a penny.

I never thought that when she took office as a new official, she would be able to plan such a good method for reforming the imperial examination system, and she would also have a place to specialize in cultivating talents.

Not bad indeed!

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhuang Mengxiao and the others, "These few things will be arranged by a few people from your poetry club and the official department!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Mengxiao, Liang Guodong, Zhang Zhongqiu, Gongsun Yao, and Bai Guanguan leaned over together.

Finally doing a good job, Bai Guanguan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It's the first time to talk to the emperor so formally! It means that the pressure is great!

Huangfu Chen looked at Bai Wanguan with obscure eyes.

He was a little surprised that she was able to come up with such a good plan on her first day in office.

However, his strategy can cultivate talents for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is really good!
