(This chapter is an exhortation chapter on the importance of studying hard and working)

——————

In February of the eleventh year of Xuanping, it is another year of examination, if it is a few years earlier, at this time of year, Jinling City will always be particularly lively, because there will be scholars from all over the country to participate in the examination.

However, since the Tang Empire reformed the examination and implemented the provincial examination system, the number of scholars who went to Jinling City to take the examination has decreased.

At present, basically only the scholars who are particularly confident in themselves will rush to Jinling City to participate in the national examination, and the scholars who are not too confident, or cannot go to Jinling because of the restrictions of other factors, often choose to participate in the provincial examination in their own provinces.

This can also be said to greatly reduce the difficulty of ordinary scholars to participate in the examination, after all, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty is different from the traditional dynasties, and it will be held every year, which also leads to the fact that the scholars either live in Jinling City all the year round to participate in the examination, or they frequently travel back and forth between their hometown and Jinling City, which is obviously a great burden, whether it is money or time and energy.

Now it is possible to take the examination in the provincial capitals of each province, which is also a great benefit for the vast majority of scholars.

Of course, some scholars who are confident in themselves, or who are studying in Jinling City, will still choose to take the entrance examination in Jinling City.

The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty did not strictly stipulate what kind of scholars could participate in the Beijing Normal Examination and what kind of scholars could only participate in the provincial examination, but chose an attitude of non-interference, and the scholars could freely choose to take the examination in their own province or come to Jinling City to participate in the examination.

Of course, although the difficulty of the two examination questions is comparable, but the competition is not the same, the scholars who take the examination in Jinling City are the kind that are particularly confident in themselves, and at the same time, with the implementation of the examination score system, the empire has also correspondingly reduced the number of students admitted to the Jinling City examination.

In the early years, the total number of students admitted to the Jinshi and Doctoral Examinations in Jinling City could reach 1,000, but now in the eleventh year of Xuanping, the number of scheduled admissions has dropped to 500, a direct drop of half.

However, nationwide, the number of students in the two majors is expected to be admitted, but it will once again create a new peak, and the provincial sub-test centers and Jinling City test centers are combined, and it is expected that 5,000 people will be admitted.

Most of these new scholars and doctors will enter grassroots positions, thus gradually changing the reason why the quality of low-level officials in the officialdom of the Tang Empire is not high.

In time, Li Xuan also planned to further expand the number of admissions, because in the future, except for talents who needed special skills such as judicial institutions and patrol police, except for ordinary hired staff who had no grade, such as grooms, cooks, etc., and other imperial officials with grades must be selected after the imperial examination.

Finally, a personnel system was formed that combined imperial officials and ordinary employees.

In fact, Li Xuan planned to make all public employees at the beginning, and they all needed to be selected through the imperial examination, but he found that this was not realistic, because it was obviously impossible for people to accept becoming a groom in the government after studying at Guozijian University, and this was also a great waste of talent.

Therefore, Li Xuan implemented the current model of combining officials and employees.

And this policy, naturally, is not messed up by Li Xuan, but refers to the civil service system of later generations, and in many media reports in later generations, why the word temporary worker frequently appears, it is because there are really so many temporary workers in public service agencies, and they work for government agencies in the name of contract workers, dispatch workers, etc., which belongs to the kind that has no establishment.

Li Xuan felt that the public service system in later generations was still quite good, it could effectively control salary expenditures, and if he poked out the basket, he could directly fire people and calm the anger of the people.

In fact, this system has been played like this in China for thousands of years, in the past, it was divided into officials, and in later generations, it was divided into establishment and temporary workers, and when it came to the Tang Empire, it was the difference between officials and employees.

Although the details of the operation are different, it is essentially an egg, and there is not much change.

Otherwise, in fact, for thousands of years in China, the political system has not changed, the family world, the imperial examination system, the official system, etc., thousands of years ago, the same is true now.

In the Tang Dynasty, the same was no exception.

Li Xuan is not a saint, and he is even more reluctant to take the risk of indifference, since these things have been proven to be practical for thousands of years, Li Xuan naturally can't afford to abandon them, and then go and make a new set of messy things by himself, in that case, who knows if there will be any big trouble.

Take history as a mirror, and focus on practicality!

This is Li Xuan's concept of governing the country in recent years, so when many policies are implemented, most of them are also in line with this concept.

The same is true of the reform of the imperial examination system, to this day in the eleventh year of Xuanping, the reform of the imperial examination system has entered the end, and at most it is to mend the seams, and Li Xuan does not plan to carry out large-scale changes.

The education system that has a great relationship with the imperial examination, Li Xuan also does not plan to make too many changes, he thinks that the education system is very good now, at most, it is to gradually popularize primary schools in the future, and then build more middle schools, as for universities, he still plans to take the high-quality route and strictly control the number of college students, especially the number of liberal arts students.

In his lifetime, the popularization of secondary and higher education, don't expect it, it's not that it can't be done, but Li Xuan doesn't allow it!

On the other hand, some science and engineering schools, that is, vocational and technical colleges, that specialize in training technical talents, can run more, so as to provide more technical talents for the industrialization of the empire.

But only for science and engineering!

As for the liberal arts, especially the majors of history and Chinese literature, they must be strictly controlled.

Why? Because the harm of students in this kind of major is quite great, give them official positions, let them mix into the upper class of society, then naturally hello, hello, everyone!

But if the upper class society is so big, and the place to accommodate talents is also limited, those who can't squeeze into the upper class will definitely be dissatisfied, and spread their dissatisfaction, and finally encourage the dissatisfaction of ordinary people to use as a coercion to achieve their goal of entering the upper class.

In short, there are a lot of broken things!

This is also the reason why Li Xuan has always attached importance to science and engineering education in recent years, ignoring or even suppressing liberal arts education!

In preparatory schools, almost all scholarships are given to students in science classes, and it is almost impossible for liberal arts students to get scholarships, and when Guozijian admits students, the number of students admitted to major majors such as Chinese language and history is also the smallest and most stringent.

Why, the students who apply for this kind of major are all rushing to become officials, and if they can't become officials in the end, it is definitely a potential destabilizing factor.

If this is the case, it is better to limit the number of people from the beginning.

On the contrary, science and engineering are much better, not only officialdom needs such talents, but also major enterprises also need such talents, with a wide range of employment, and these people are science and engineering talents, and the harm to social stability is not so great.

Universal education is actually a double-edged sword for a feudal dynasty or other similar centralized regime, and it is a double-edged sword that has a great possibility of killing the regime itself.

Therefore, in the United States in later generations, they never engaged in university education, most of the students obediently went to the factory to serve dishes after finishing high school, and a small number went to community colleges.

Only a very small elite will be able to go on to college.

And these very few elites who go to prestigious private schools are the backbone of American society!

Even if Huaxia did a lot of university expansion in later generations, in fact, it is not really universal higher education, ordinary people take a pheasant junior college, second- or third-rate undergraduates, and the same as the community colleges of other Americans, there is no use, after a few years of study, there is no essential difference between their ability and middle school students who have not received higher education.

The real elite education, that is 985, and the admission rate of this kind of school varies from province to province, but it is only a few percentage points!

This is also why ordinary people can only get 3,000 a month after graduating from university, ride a shared bicycle, rent a private house, have no girlfriend, and are still at the bottom of the society after they are thirty or forty years old, while those students from famous schools can earn a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, buy a house and a car, and become the backbone of society in a few years after graduation.

Because the vast majority of ordinary people, even the so-called college students, have not received real higher education, and the vast majority of college students, they just went to a fake university......

Teenagers, if they want to become the backbone of society, become pseudo-scientists who defraud the state of scientific research funds, look at a room full of moldy banknotes and sigh at the sinister officialdom, use all kinds of games and diamonds to deceive elementary school students in shopping malls, confuse the people at the bottom with chicken soup for the soul, and then use various courses to rip out their last copper plate......

Alas, no matter what messy dreams you have, let's take the 985 test first!

Otherwise, give up those lofty dreams!

The word elite has nothing to do with you, so let's honestly contribute to socialism, and moving bricks is more suitable for you!

Now, Li Xuan is also preparing to set up some vocational training schools, and together with the original normal school, he will set up a fake university, so that ordinary students can satisfy the illusion of enjoying higher education.

As for the real elite students, they are still allowed to go to preparatory schools in various provinces as before, and then apply for admission to formal universities such as Guozijian, Jinling, and Jiangnan University.

And such a regular university, at present, there are only eight in the entire empire, and in a short period of time, Li Xuan is not ready to increase too much, and when the time comes, at most, there will be only a dozen.

Li Xuan wants to set up a technical school, and the officials below are naturally catering to the wishes, and as soon as the trial is over, the Ministry of Rites has submitted a development plan for the establishment of a technical school!

This plan is not small, one mouth is to establish 100 technical schools and lay a century-old plan!
