Dinner was soon ready, this minister has a lot of dishes, but it is still an ordinary few dishes, not Chu State, even this money is reluctant to spend, the ancient adage is good, "from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift", if seven plates and eight bowls of dishes are served all day, Ma Yun is afraid that he will eat more and more, it is better to be like now, although there are not many dishes, but each meal can be changed, which saves costs and will not be the same, which makes people bored.

Although Ma Yun is easy-going, he will not easily destroy the courtesy of a monarch and minister. Ma Yun dined at the royal table, while the ministers had a small square table and a small bench in front of each person. After Ma Yun clipped the first chopsticks, these people began to eat. Eating with the king was certainly an honor for them. However, this meal tastes more or less awkward, while eating, you have to pay attention to Ma Yun's progress, eating too fast, gobbling up, generally in front of so many ministers, but if you chew slowly, wait for Ma Yun to finish eating, and only eat a little bit, then it will definitely not work.

The ministers have scruples in their hearts, Ma Yun is not happy to eat, he likes to eat and talk while eating, but these important ministers pay attention to this "gentleman's food is silent" on this occasion, so that the whole meal will be deserted.

I finally finished eating and rinsed my mouth. Ma Yun and the others continued to discuss the question of how to use Li Tang literati, and the debate on this proposition still exists, so they can only wait for Ma Yun to come and make an arbitrary decision. In Jiangnan Shilin, there are direct ministers like Chang Mengxi, and loyal ministers like Feng Yansi, but there are also many depressed people like Fan Ruoshui, and there must be no shortage of people like Zhong Mo who defect to the Chu State. In the face of this situation, it is obviously inappropriate to beat him to death with a stick, after all, this scholar is very angry, but 1oo people in the individual are hoping to "learn and excel", but the rest of the person is because he is not good at learning, and he thinks that he is not good at learning, can he also be an official? As for the hermit in the field, he didn't want to be a hermit from the beginning, but after some setbacks, he relied on the fact that his family had two acres of land and two cows to make a living, so he didn't have to worry about the cow's temper, and then he went home and got away.

However, Liao Jusu's case must not be guarded against, after all, the hearts of the people are separated** Li Jing's father and son's superficial efforts have done a good job, based on this consideration, Ma Yun also listened to Xu Zhongya's suggestion, and in Jiangbiao and Huainan, the county orders were reversed step by step and stage by stage.

The next step is to start discussing the question of how to "open a branch to get scholars", only the opening of the imperial examination can gradually attract the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past, the state of Chu was extremely short of talents, and secondly, Ma Yun was fighting abroad for a long time, and basically listened to the minister's advice on this imperial examination, according to the system of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was divided into two stages: the state and county examinations (those who were in the examination were called Juren), and the Ministry of Rites Examination (Ministry of Rites Examination), the personnel requirements of the state and county examinations were relatively loose, as long as they were scholars, they could participate, and there were mainly two sources of candidates for the Ministry of Rites, one was the township tribute (also called Juren) who passed the examination. The second kind of candidates are the scholars who graduated from the Ma Academy, after passing the Ministry of Rites exam, the candidates will walk in various departments, that is, they will be interned in various departments for half a year, and they will accept the examination of the Ministry of Officials, and the candidates can be turned into regular officials of Dachu, which is called the selection test, if they are not qualified, they will continue to walk three times, and if they are not qualified, they can only be sent to the state and county as a recorder and join the army. That is to say, if you pass the Ministry of Rites exam, you will definitely be able to become a civil servant who does not worry about eating and drinking, but in the end? br/>

Now Jack Ma has thrown out a new proposition "**** exam". For Ma Yun, he knows this **** exam very well, and he has always thought that this imperial examination is the **** exam: the solution test, the provincial test, and the palace test, but he didn't expect that this "**** exam" was actually formed in the Song Dynasty, and before the Song Dynasty, the popular "secondary exam" was the "secondary exam", but at that time, the international environment of Chu was bad, Ma Yun's mind was all on the **** construction, and this "secondary exam" was there every year, but he only participated twice, which was still a busy time. Although Li Tang was wiped out in a different situation now, the state of Chu was exhausted and no longer had the strength to go to war within two or three years, plus the northern η roast 14. br/>

In addition, there are drawbacks in the second-level examination, and the saying that "the teacher and the doorman" is not far and wide, and whoever is the examiner will become his protégé. In this Ma Yun's heart, he is a taboo, isn't this a disguised gang? So Ma Yun is ready to turn the "second-level exam" into the "**** exam", plus the palace exam, if the palace exam results are relatively good, you can directly grant the official position, and there is no need to conduct the official examination. In this way, won't the candidate become a "protégé of the Son of Heaven"?

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, some of you have been very keenly aware of Ma Yun's dislike of "teachers and disciples" from the sentence "protégé of the Son of Heaven", and he wants to make all officials his students. The ministers frowned slightly, thinking of a way to quickly dissociate themselves from those "doormen". And some people just thought about the feasibility of the "**** exam", and stood up and asked: "Is there a time relationship between the provincial examination and the palace examination, after all, the provincial examination and the palace examination are held in Jinling, if the time between the two is too long, it will cause the candidates to be troubled, don't go back, Jinling costs too much, go back, this time and delay time." ”

Ma Yun smiled: "The palace test is placed behind the provincial test, and there are 2 days apart!" ”

"What should we do with those who fail the temple test?" Xu Zhongya asked, after all, it is a question of always having a passing rate in the exam.

"If you fail, Gern has two options, one is to enter the yamen of the state and county to be a sword and pen officer, and the other is to continue the exam!" Ma Yun said casually.

"So do the state and county swordsmen have to pass the provincial test?" Xu Zhongya continued to ask.

Ma Yun and the ministers began to discuss it like this. From the beginning of the content of the examination to the work arrangement of the first student, step by step carefully studied for a long time, and finally determined, this first test is held once every three years, and the provincial examination is held on March 1 of the new year, and the palace examination is held on March 10.

As for the content of the test, the rough score is the Wenwu Subject, and the liberal arts are divided into four categories: Jinshi Branch, Ming Arithmetic Subject, Erudite Confucianism, and Ming Zhi Subject, and Jinshi Branch, which is nothing more than the scriptures and practices, and the understanding of the verses in the Confucian classic books, while the practice is, the analysis of historical events, to put it bluntly, are all written argumentative essays. The Ming Calculation Department is the first to calculate the financial balance of the project cost in economics; After all, the current siege equipment of the Chu army has to be improved by people like these craftsmen, which can be regarded as giving them a chance to enter the ****, and the erudite Hongru Department is aimed at those people who are hermits in the mountains and wilderness, relying on eating and drinking, not worrying about relying on the old and selling the old, and letting them participate in the Jinshi Department, I am afraid that these people will not be able to save face, as for the Ming Arithmetic Department and the Ming Knowledge Department, these old guys will not be able to. And such a big fame, in case you fail the ** test...... Didn't you smash your own brand? The erudite and Confucian science can also be regarded as Ma Yun's face for the hermits. However, Ma Yun is not too hot for these hermits, and he looks like he can't come. In Ma Yun's view, these people are generally divided into two categories when they live in seclusion, the first is that they are not in harmony and are excluded by the mainstream, and the second is extremely smart people who live in seclusion, or protect themselves or wait for the opportunity.

As for a very important subject in the Tang Dynasty: the Ming Jing Department was directly canceled. The reason is because Ma Yun thinks that Ming Jingke is useless. The Ming Sutra is heavy on the scriptures and the ink meaning. The so-called scriptures are to open a page of the scriptures, cover the left and right sides, and only open one in the middle. As long as you are familiar with the scriptures and commentaries, you can pass the test, while the poetry needs to have literary talent. It is very difficult to get the first Jinshi, so in the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that there were thirty old Ming classics and fifty young Jinshi.

To put it bluntly, is this Ming Jingke an endorsement? Now Da Chu is a thriving harmonious society, and what pays attention to exhibition is innovation, which will only be rote memorization, what's the use of memorizing.

Next, everyone talked about the issue of the imperial examination ****.

Ma Yun was suddenly excited, he has practical experience. When Ma Yun was in college, **** was commonplace, and there was no way to avoid **** and not get a scholarship. Besides, going to college is not ****, that can only mean that this person does not have a sense of honor and unity. An important quality of college students is team spirit, which is the performance of team spirit, the whistle to pass the note, the raise of the hand to attract the attention of the teacher, and work together according to their responsibilities. In addition, the school's policy is also **** no, the score is low, the score is low, the credit score is not enough, you can't get the degree certificate, you can only find the teacher to continue**test things** in the era of cross-current, how busy the teacher is, how can he have time to give undergraduates what papers, so the teacher also hopes that the student will turn a blind eye when he passes the prison ** once, and the result is not **** will become a stupid hat, Ma Yun is stupid? Of course, he is not stupid, as a regular scholarship person, he also has a lot of experience.
