Chapter 38: Nine Rank Scattered Officials

However, this is the inevitable trend of historical development, and if you want to become a civilian society all at once, it is not based on the will of a certain person.

Therefore, Xu Qilin's improvement of the imperial examination is only to make it as fair as possible, and to remove obstacles for poor students in the system.

For example, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was not vague. Which volume belongs to whom, is made public. Since the name is not blurred, the examiner is prone to fraud when changing the paper and admitting the exam.

Secondly, the admission at that time was not mainly based on the results of the scientific examination, but on the candidate's family background and social reputation. If there is a backstage and a hard relationship, the probability of passing the test must be super high.

Moreover, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty only had a background, and it was not necessarily an official, and it was necessary to go through the examination presided over by the Ministry of Officials, that is, the interpretation and selection, before he could become an official.

Generally speaking, the interpretation and selection is only a formality, and the content of the examination is relatively simple, which is considering that the selection of the imperial examination is not a professional talent, the professional ability is poor, and it is impossible to directly appoint officials, and the interpretation and selection focus on legal documents.

However, since ordinary students do not have the opportunity to be exposed to this aspect of content, the children of the nobility have a relatively large advantage in the interpretation and selection. Because the noble disciples had a family education, and someone in the family served as an official, they were more familiar with the law and official writing.

Therefore, Xu Qilin mainly started from these aspects, and wrote in little detail, but basically included them and proposed solutions.

For example, the Song Dynasty began to implement the "name examination school", the locking of the courtyard system, transcription, and the "coupons" and "gongshizhuang" that provided financial assistance for the children of the poor family to participate in the imperial examination, and so on.

sprinkled this throughout, Xu Qilin was still unfinished when he wanted to stop writing. After thinking about it for a while, he added the sentence "Chao is Tian Shelang, and Twilight is in Tianzi Hall".

What's going on,! That's not going to work, let's do this. Don't you want some advice, let's get you some time to drink a little wine.

Xu Qilin was quite proud, and was ready to think carefully and revise it. This is not a casual composition, it's a big deal that the teacher gives you a zero egg, this is for Li Er to see, and he wants to change the official title!

At this time, the family came to report that Xiao Zhao had returned home, and there were palace people who came to deliver the decree.

Although Xu Qilin is dissatisfied, can he still give it, isn't he a fool?

When he arrived in the hall, Xu Qilin was courteous, and he respectfully accepted the order.

That's right, before the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the ministers sat to receive the holy decree. Even the upper court sat on both sides, and there was no pestle there.

What's more, there are several kinds of holy decrees, including holy edicts, hand edicts, oral edicts, and edicts, among which edicts are the most formal.

And Li Er's holy decree is a handwritten edict, the casual kind. But the content made Xu Qilin have an unexpected surprise.

It turned out that in addition to giving 500 acres of land and 500 horses of brocade silk, Xu Qilin was also given a small official - Wen Linlang.

Haha, Li Er finally figured it out, or the wind blown by the old lady, listening to the grass people and grass people is quite harsh!

Although Wen Linlang is only a civil and prose official from the ninth grade, one level higher than the last rank of the general, he is a regular or deputy department level, and he still doesn't work and receives a salary.

Xu Qilin was very happy after receiving the holy decree, and sent the palace people away, so he took the light cyan Jiupin official uniform and stone back to the room to try it on.

Work clothes, it's a bit big, it's going to be enough, and I don't usually wear it anyway. In Chang'an, throwing a brick can smash a first-grade and second-grade boss, let's not wear it out and be embarrassed.

Put away the official uniform and stone belt, Xu Qilin wanted to sit down and tidy up the draft he had just taken, but he suddenly felt a little problematic.

Let's talk about this invention, why didn't we get the expected results?

Although in the Tang Dynasty, like the later feudal dynasties, they disdained original scientific and technological inventions and creations as "miraculous and ingenious", and regarded innovation and creation as unscrupulous, and only by reading the Four Books and the Five Classics was the right way.

However, at that time, there were no measures to encourage and guide craftsmen to innovate in science and technology, and the definition of talents was still biased towards knowledge and articles.

Of course, Xu Qilin still doesn't have the idea of studying hard to succeed, and still insists on the life path he has already thought of.

Perhaps for other scientific and technological inventions, the ancient feudal rulers, that is, His Majesty Li Er, may not attach much importance to them. But for agriculture and the military, they will still look at it differently and will be generously rewarded.

The reason is very simple, agriculture and military are the foundation and reliance of the stability of the dynasty, and all dynasties have worked hard to maintain and develop them.

Xu Qilin slapped his thigh violently and figured it out. It's not that his own path is wrong, but that he is young, and His Majesty Li Er deliberately suppressed it, or there is still the meaning of the old sister.

It is estimated that they are worried that they will have an official title, so they will not want to forge ahead, and they will not study hard to become the talent in their minds.

Hey! I really guessed correctly, didn't I just have the idea of being happy and comfortable?

Thinking of this, Xu Qilin was a little hesitant, should he still write a book to offer advice and continue to work hard for the promotion of the official rank?

Of course, now that he is an official, although this official position is equivalent to an encouragement award, it is of little use except for a little money.

But if you think about it carefully, 500 acres of fertile land and 500 horses of brocade silk are quite a generous reward. is a proper landlord, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he is almost the same as the official's salary.

Besides, there's the old brother! I was knighted at a young age, where did I put my brother's face?

It is estimated that Li Er and the elder sister also thought of this, so they reluctantly fulfilled their wishes and gave a little official to stop and study hard.

Cut! Xu Qilin pouted and waved his hand, and said in his heart: Since this is the case, then let's hold back this full of skills first, and then ask for merit and rewards when we are older.

Now, if you have money, you have to make money, so it's better to get our holiday villa up first and enjoy life well.

Thinking of this, Xu Qilin put away the written draft and stuffed it under the inkstone.

……………

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the huqin was both a stringed instrument and a stringed instrument, but most people mainly played the strings.

Xu Qilin found a carpenter Sun, increased and adjusted the grip of the huqin, set the inner and outer strings to the sound, and asked the subordinates to go to the stables to cut a few horsetail hairs, carefully transform the bow, install the horsetail hairs, adjust them tightly, and then pull them slowly, taste the sound quality, and make some fine-tuning from time to time.

The modern erhu has five positions, and the vocal range is wider, this huqin - Xu Qilin tried to pull, mastered the position of the fingers and the law of rhyme, and found the seven tones, which can be used!

Xiao Zhao sat at the desk in the shade of the tree, seriously doing the homework assigned by Xu Qilin.

Literature and poetry can't be taught, and Xu Xiaozhao's mastery of rhyme and footing is even better than Xu Qilin. The only thing I can be proud of and teach my little sister is mathematics.
