After arranging the military affairs of Nanyang Cao Sun to fight against Nanyang that day, Liu Bei did not go to rest immediately, but met with Chen Qun, who returned to Chang'an from Luoyang.

Liu Bei has always had illusions about Chen Qun's appointment, and Chen Qun still has many merits in history as Cao Wei's prime minister.

Not to mention anything else, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, which lasted less than 2,000 years in the land of China in the future, was written by Chen Qun, and the Wei law after the founding of the Wei State was also drafted by Chen Qun!

And this time, Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu replaced the original position of Chen Qun, which is to promote Chen Qun's competent officials and establish the Jiupin Zhongzheng system!

If according to the course of history, Liu Bei still needs to wait for ten or even decades before it is possible to wait for the birth of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, maybe in this life due to the appearance of Liu Bei, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system will die abruptly!

For this, Liu Bei resolutely did not allow it, so Chen Qun waited for Liu Bei for an afternoon, and Liu Bei didn't know how to rest and wanted to talk to Chen Qun for an evening!

Seeing Chen Qun, Liu Bei didn't understand the governance of Luoyang, let alone beat around the bush, and said directly to the point:

"Chief Wen, I've been putting you in other counties for all these years, but I don't know what Chief Wen thinks about the current official selection and promotion system?"

And Chen Qun felt a little inexplicable about this matter, these years Chen Qun first served as a county commander from the county in Xizhou, and then was promoted to the county to become the county guard, and then became the state assassin, and finally Liu Bei was in Luoyang as the governor Yin, which is considered a Beijing official.

Therefore, Chen Qun has a lot of understanding of the current official selection and promotion system, and he has also thought a lot. It's just that now Liu Bei asked about this topic as if he was an unpredictable prophet, but it really made Cheng Qun a little baffled!

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Qun decided to inform Liu Bei of his thoughts, so he said: "Lord, I have been thinking about the selection and promotion of officials for the past two years!"

At present, the selection and promotion of officials mainly follow the probation system in the early Han Dynasty! However, at this time, the inspection system was completely different from that of the early Han Dynasty, which was a meritocracy.

And now, the inspection system is completely in the hands of the family door valve, although there are also some talented people who have been elected to the court as officials, but many talented people from the poor family have no way to report, and gradually the entire court is in the hands of the family door valve!

It has formed a situation where officials and officials defend each other, and the people are suffering and the Son of Heaven is ignorant! Therefore, the probation system has become the elbow of the Son of Heaven to govern the world. ”

"Very good, Wen Chang, I have thought about it several times over the years, and I think this matter is as you said! Over the years, the officials in the county have basically been elected by the probation system, and the county taishou, the state assassin history, and the Beijing officials are all directly appointed by me!

Although I can recognize some talents, I can't know all the talents in the world, and the latecomers may not be able to know people, so I want to ask the chief if there is a way to solve this problem! Liu Bei asked directly!

Seeing Liu Bei answer like this, he was also inexplicably moved to ask Chen Qun, Liu Bei didn't ask the others, and asked him Chen Qun alone, which shows how much Liu Bei recognized him Chen Qun!

"My lord, I have also thought about this matter, the current problem of the probation system is mainly on the people who are inspected, if the problems of the probationers can be solved, the disadvantages of the probation system can be solved!"

Liu Bei affirmed with a happy face: "That's true, but how to solve this problem?" ”

As soon as Liu Bei finished saying this, Chen Qun couldn't wait to say: "The lord can set up a new official named Zhongzheng Guan, and Zhongzheng is the official title of the evaluation talent."

After that, the lord can elect one person in each state and county, and the elected Dazhongzheng must be an official who serves in the central government and has a high moral reputation. And then in the big zhongzheng, the small zhongzheng is produced.

After the formation of the large and small zhongzheng, a kind of official survey form was drawn up by the imperial court, in which the talents and officials' government affairs, ability, and clean government were evaluated in person as ninth.

The nine grades are upper, upper, upper, upper, middle, lower,

After reviewing and submitting the form to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials will carry out the promotion and dismissal of officials.

In this way, there will be an objective standard for the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of all officials, so as not to leave people with loopholes to exploit, and at the same time, it can also take into account local public opinion and public opinion.

Moreover, there are two advantages to doing so: first, it can solve the problem of official selection and clarify the rule of officials; Second, it can alleviate the tension between the lord and the family. ”

"Wen Chang, this can indeed greatly solve the problem of the probation system, but there are still many loopholes.

First of all, in terms of officials such as big and small Zhongzheng, if they are the family gate valve, they may become the people who choose officials for the family gate valve!

Secondly, the evaluation and promotion of officials may be tempted by external forces, such as money, beautiful women, treasures, etc., and there will be deviations!

Third, this system is only for evaluation, and it cannot actually confirm the ability of officials or talents!

Therefore, there are other ways to achieve the goal of meritocracy! ”

"My lord, this system has been a method that I have been thinking about for two or three years before I got it, and I don't have too many ideas at this time! Chen Qun said with a headache!

"Wen Chang, as I have already said, this system can be used to evaluate the abilities of all officials, and the specific talents of officials cannot be revealed.

At the same time, the method of how to promote officials after evaluating them is not reflected! Liu Bei said again!

"Lord, from this point of view, the lord should have something?" Chen Qun tried to ask!

"Indeed, Wen Chief, your system is already very good, and the evaluation of officials can indeed follow your method. You go back and think about it again!

For the evaluation of officials, I am thinking of selecting all the outstanding children of the poor family and the family into the official palace to serve the Son of Heaven!

These days, I pondered and finally came up with a solution - exams! The exam is divided into three rounds, the first round of the township test, the second round of the county test, and the third round of the national test!

The top 10 in the township examination can participate in the county examination, the top 30 in the county examination can participate in the state examination, and the top 100 in the state examination can participate in the national examination.

In the future, the appointment of all officials needs to be completed through the examination, and the family gate valve has a recommended quota for taking the exam, and the state, county, and Dazhongzheng also have a quota for taking the exam, and you can skip the first round of the township test, and the second round of the county test, and directly participate in the third round of the national exam!

Counties, townships, and small schools can also recommend scholars, but these scholars need to take the second and third rounds of examinations.

Scholars from poor families can also register by themselves, but these scholars who sign up by themselves need to take the first, second, and third rounds of exams!

In this way, the top 100 scholars in the real three rounds must try to learn outstandingly!

Similarly, the generals can also be dealt with in this situation, but I just thought about a rough idea, and the specific needs to be added in detail later.

I still have seven or eight days to enlist, so I still hope that the chief can improve the examination system and the Zhongzheng system for me before I go out! ”。

After that, Liu Bei chatted with Chen Qun for a while, until the rooster crowed, and Liu Bei left Chen Qun after breakfast!

Then Liu Bei just rested for an hour, and someone said that something was reported!
