Before the Western Yuan Dynasty, the examination was used to admit officials, and of course it had to have the characteristics of the pre-Western era.

In the past few days, Zhang Yue has been drafting exam questions.

Even, Liu Jin, Sang Jun, Hu Jian, Chen Wannian, etc. were brought together to work together.

It took four days to finally determine the basic system and process.

First of all, there is the eligibility.

The Han family was a society in which there was property and the power to be an official.

At present, the restriction on the property of officials is a five-point calculation.

In other words, if the value of the family property is less than 50,000 yuan, don't want to be an official.

On the contrary, as long as the family property is more than 50,000 yuan, then no matter what class you are, you will have the opportunity to become an official.

Taizong's famous minister Yuan Ang is the son of a ranger, and Zhang Shizhi is even after Shangjia.

The first person in the dynasty to play salt and iron official camp was simply the big merchant Jia Kongwei.

Therefore, the imperial history of the doctor Bu style, also born as a businessman.

Even in the current court, there is also Sang Hongyang, the son of a businessman, who lives in Jiuqing, and is in charge of the country's finance and taxation.

In the magical society of the Western Han Dynasty, with money, you can really do whatever you want.

You may not believe it, anyway, Zhang Yue once heard that back then, in order to send his precious son to today's son, Sang Hongyang's father spent twenty or thirty million funds to dredge up the dots.

Naturally, Zhang Yue did not dare to challenge this rule.

Therefore, although he held high the banner of 'meritocracy', the calculation restrictions still had to be retained.

In other words, all applicants must provide proof of their own calculations.

If the family is less than 50,000 yuan, don't think about signing up, go home and play in the mud by yourself.

Fortunately, today's Han family, a family that can cultivate a scholar, basically has such a condition.

The candidates for the exam have been determined, and the rest is the scope of the questions.

First of all, Confucianism must be examined.

If you don't take the Confucianism test, the Confucian students will definitely fry the pot.

Liu Jin couldn't explain it.

But Zhang Yue didn't want to take all the Confucianism exams, in that case, he would definitely be selected by a bunch of nerds.

So, he came up with a solution.

All the questions of Confucianism were made into multiple/fill-in-the-blank questions.

There are 20 courses in total, and each course is worth one point.

All topics are selected from the list.

To put it simply, it's just a matter of choice.

Zhang Yue didn't expect to rely on these topics to select any talents.

I just want to use these topics as a sieve to weed out those guys who are indiscriminate.

Then, he came up with ten more arithmetic problems.

All the questions are copied from the inside.

Basically, as long as you have a certain amount of math skills, you can pass the level.

If you don't even know how to do such a simple question, you can't do it.

Then this person's IQ is probably more worrying.

Xinfeng County also does not need officials who do not even have basic arithmetic skills.

Even adding and subtracting is not good, can he still be expected to calculate the tax burden of the people and the allocation of forced labor?

The remaining 10 questions are all in the legal category.

The exam questions are all from the current ones, and the tests are all common sense.

And all the questions, all are one point.

It adds up to forty points.

In Zhang Yue's design, only those who can answer 30 questions correctly are eligible to pass the exam and enter the next stage.

As a civil service exam, of course, it can't just be a written exam.

The written test is just a sieve, first eliminate a part of the defective products, and send the more qualified candidates to their own methods.

Just like the civil service exam in later generations, after the written test, there must be an interview.

Because it is only to recruit a group of grassroots officials in Xinfeng County to do things.

So, the requirements for the interview are simple.

Interviewers can ask random questions to the interviewee, from the mediation of conflicts in the grassroots kiosk to the order of processing official documents.

If you can be methodical and unfazed, you can do it.

And the interview program is actually designed to facilitate the opening of the back door.

Do you think, who doesn't have a few connections? Who doesn't have a few relatives?

It is really necessary to select officials according to the 'meritocracy' and speak according to the test results.

What do you call those noble second and third generations?

How do you tell those rich dogs to deal with themselves?

Zhang Yue did not want to face the wrath and aggression of the entire ruling class.

Therefore, this so-called interview is actually a free heart testimonial.

If the leader says you can do it, you can do it, and if you say you can't, you can't.

What is the second generation, the third generation, and the big dogs, they can arrange their own people to pass the test smoothly as they like, and they don't have to worry about other problems.

However, this system is the most beneficial system for poor scholars under the current social conditions.

Because, in the past, they didn't talk about being an official in the exam.

There is no chance to even take the exam, and the powerful nobles don't talk nonsense with them at all.

Want to be an official? Either give them a dog, give them their lives, or give them enough money to bribe.

Otherwise, don't think about getting a chance.

And now, although there is injustice, there are many black box operations.

But at least, they have a seemingly fair chance.

Moreover, it is only the selection of low-level officials.

The children of the powerful nobles are probably not looked down upon.

…………………………

Zhang Yue's idea is naturally very naïve.

When his plan was announced.

The landlords of the entire Xinfeng are about to explode.

It is true that the selection of officials in this examination is only some officials, clerks, and officials.

Most of the scholars and nobles who have a strong temperament are not eye-catching.

However, this change still deeply stung many people.

You know, in the past, who did the local officials choose? Aren't they in the driver's seat?

If the scholars of the poor family want to become officials, they must have their recommendation and get their permission.

Otherwise, don't think about it.

And since they recommended it, aren't these officials their dogs?

They have to do what they want.

Otherwise, just wait to get out.

But now, the new county leader has launched a method of taking exams to select talents.

This is tantamount to cutting off the privileges of the big guys' monopoly and control in the past, and hurting their rights and interests even more seriously.

"In the long run, the country will not be a country!" There is Haoqiang sighed.

But......

But no one dared to protest or disagree publicly.

Because, in the Xinfeng official office, there are still more than a dozen powerful landlords who used to be beautiful!

The background of this newcomer to the county is not something that they, the rich landowners, can resist.

Are you kidding?

To fight against a waiter?

I'm afraid I'm impatient!

Therefore, the heroes can only grit their teeth and refuse to accept it.

There's no way, it's not the opponent of this mid-chamberlain at all!

People may even need only one finger to pinch any family in Xinfeng County to death.

Even if the landlord of the county, Dr. Hao Qiangshi, is tied together, it is about a slap to death.

But......

If you don't do something, wouldn't this Xinfeng future be a hall of words for this new county?

Everyone's life and death, honor and disgrace, are in their hands.

People may not even care about people's lives or deaths.

Just like Wang Wenshu Yizong, he is in a good mood, he kills Haoqiang, he is in a bad mood, he catches a few Haoqiang and vents his anger.

"What to do?" Many people pondered.

Finally, they came up with a solution.

So, one after another, in various township pavilions in Xinfeng, the local 'celebrities' and 'eminent' people have sent doglegs to warn and intimidate the poor scholars everywhere: "If you dare to go to Xinfeng County to register, you will be the enemy of my family!" ”

And they themselves, they closed the door of their house and stayed at home, saying that they would 'study behind closed doors'.

The calculations of the heroes are very good.

Just send the doglegs to intimidate, and hide behind themselves.

In this way, even 'Zhang Chiyou' has no excuse to blame himself, at most he can only catch a few of his subordinates to get angry.

What's even better is that didn't this 'Zhang Chiyou' once say it publicly?

If the law does not prohibit it, it will not be corrected.

Which of the behaviors of oneself and others has broken the law?

Since he has not broken the law, how can this 'Zhang Chiyou' investigate and punish himself?

Unless he plans to tear his face and slap himself in the face.

Otherwise, everyone will win.

For a time, most of the Hanmen scholars in Xinfeng Township Pavilion were warned.

When they go out, they are followed by rangers with bad faces.

On the road to Xinfeng County, you can always see those powerful thugs, carrying swords, dangling at the intersection.

All the scholars who dared to go to Xinfeng County were harassed, pestered, and even beaten.
