Add more to the alliance leader's "annoying troubles"! Thank you brother for your support!

In terms of traditional concepts, after lifting people into the ranks, they must not be as good as the Jinshi's entry into the future, especially in the Ming Dynasty after experiencing the perfection of the imperial examination system, not to mention that lifting people is not the right way, even if they are also Jinshi, there is no way to become a senior official in the ministry without entering the Hanlin.

Although the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty and the former Ming Dynasty was different, and it was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a huge gap for officials, even if they were able to obtain official positions and promotions even if they were to enter the government with merit, but in the final analysis, the scholars were still worried, thinking that if they went to the office, the future development would definitely be hindered.

Therefore, anyone who is a little angry wants to participate in the examination directly, and is not willing to enter the office with a meritorious reputation.

If you really can't pass the exam, or if you have other compelling reasons, you will directly enter the office with the merit of raising people.

This traditional concept also made Li Xuan's attempt to replace the provincial examination with the township test end in failure, but he was unwilling, since the township test could not replace the provincial examination, then he would go another way!

Therefore, the current Li Xuan simply cut off the idea of taking the township test and lifting people, since the scholars are not willing to enter the office with the name of the meritorious person, then it is better not to enter the office with the name of the meritorious person, isn't it a jinshi and a doctor.

This is simple, I directly expand the scale of the examination, and set up the provincial capital examination points as the provincial examination, which also has the same effect.

The so-called Jinshi, Doctor and Juren, the Hui Test and the Township Test, are just different in terms of title.

Li Xuan's ultimate goal has nothing to do with jinshi, lifting people and the like, and it has nothing to do with the hui exam, township exam or anything, his real goal is to establish a perfect official examination system.

This kind of examination system is not only used to recruit middle-level officials, but also to recruit the vast number of grass-roots officials.

In terms of product level, that is the difference between the seventh grade and the ninth grade.

However, the plan of the test center will not work, and what will be the effect in the later stage, and what will be the big impact

It depends on how the imperial examination in Xuanping's eight years has been conducted, especially whether the examination of the Zhili Sidaohui examination center is successful.

After this news came out at the beginning of the year, for the scholars of the four provinces of Zhili, they were naturally very happy, because the four roads of Zhili will be tested and the examination center only allows people with local household registration to apply for the examination, and foreigners are not allowed to apply for the examination, and after the examination, although they are not arranged to serve in this province, but the positions arranged will also be in the other three provinces of Zhili.

Zhili Sidao, this is a prosperous place, its taxes account for nearly half of the entire empire's taxes, in such a good place, naturally by the officials as a fat poor, this can make extra money can be more than in the poor countryside.

Therefore, the direct opening of the sub-examination center in Zhili Sidao is naturally a lot of benefits for their local scholars, they do not have to fight for the examination, the palace examination, they can directly take the examination in their hometown, more places, less competition.

But the scholars in other provinces had an opinion.

Why don't we have a score test center in the four provinces?

The opinions of the scholars still need to be respected to a certain extent, so soon the news came out from the Ministry of Rites that the examination points of the four provinces of Zhili are only trial, and if the trial effect is good, then it will be carried out in various provinces one after another.

This news satisfied the scholars, but it also attracted more discussions.

What discussions?

Many people are worried that such a large-scale admission of scholars will put great financial pressure.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty was originally a year of the imperial examination, in addition to the Jinshi department, there is also a doctoral department, more than a thousand people every year is not very easy to arrange, now all provinces come to the examination center, even if there are dozens of people in a province, then the total is hundreds.

In this way, there will be more than 2,000 jinshi and doctors in the Tang Dynasty a year who need to be arranged, and they need to be paid.

The pressure is very high.

The worries of many officials are normal from their traditional point of view, but in Li Xuan's view, they are superfluous.

Who the stipulates that a jinshi must be a seventh-rank official, and it's okay to be from the ninth grade.

According to Li Xuan's assumption, the so-called Jinshi and Doctor's fame only allowed them to obtain the qualification certificate for entering the ranks, not to let them ascend to the sky in one step, and it is normal for them to start from the grassroots level.

In the later period, all the officials of the Tang Dynasty, even the most basic clerks, need to be selected from the examination.

This time, the grade of the Jinshi will be lowered from the seventh grade to the seventh grade, it is a temptation, if it goes well, next year Li Xuan will decide to lower the grade of the new Jinshi to the eighth grade, and in a few years, it will be reduced to from the eighth grade, and then to the ninth grade, from the ninth grade.

At that time, the ideal situation is that the first class of Jinshi and the first are the ninth grade, and the second and third class Jinshi are from the ninth grade.

Don't expect to be a county magistrate in one step after passing the Jinshi exam.

Don't talk about the future, even now, the county order grade of the Tang Dynasty is not the seventh grade of the traditional dynasty, but the sixth grade, the core middle-level officials of the Eight Classics, not to mention the county order, even if it is the county Cheng, it is from the sixth grade.

Last year's new science and technology scholars were delegated to the localities, and they were all delegated to various departments of the local yamen at all levels.

At this point, in fact, many new science and technology scholars are not satisfied, but there is no way to be dissatisfied, the current Tang Empire is like this, if you want to be an official, follow this, you don't want to get out!

There are more scholars in the world, and there are more people who want to be officials, and you are not the only one.

What's more, being an official is a great attraction for scholars, and even for all Chinese people.

The official-based environment formed over thousands of years is not so easy to change, and Li Xuan has no intention of changing it.

After a new round of reform, the Xuanping Eighth Annual Examination began to be held in the attention of many people, but relatively speaking, not many people paid attention to the examination in Jinling City, and they paid attention to the sub-examination of the four provinces of Zhili.

Gangnam Province's sub-examination is even more attention-grabbing, and it is also a sub-examination center with the largest number of applicants, with more than 500 students applying for the examination, and competing for 20 Jinshi and 20 doctoral students, a total of 40 Gongshi.

The acceptance rate is even lower than that of the Jinling Castle Entrance Examination.

In the entrance examination in Jinling City, more than 5,000 candidates are expected to be admitted, and the number of admitted students is expected to be 1,000, with a ratio of about five to one, but the acceptance rate in Jiangnan Province has reached 10 to 1.

Why?

This is because the number of people in Jiangnan Province is too much, as an area with the strongest reading atmosphere, there are too many scholars here, and the Tang Dynasty in order to take care of the scholars in other provinces, Xuanping began in the sixth year, and also followed the example of the former Ming Dynasty, and the admission of Jinshi Each province strictly limits the number of admissions, and the annual quota of Jiangnan Province is actually about forty or fifty.

This quota is a lot for a province, more than any other province. However, for areas with a strong literary style such as Gangnam Province, there are still few.

Their competition every year is quite fierce, and now after such a way to take the sub-test, many students in Jiangnan Province have gone to the sub-test center to apply for the exam.

Not to mention, the candidates in the sub-test center will be assigned to the four positions of Zhili, which is a great attraction for many candidates.

Of course, there are gains and losses, and if you go to the sub-examination center for the exam, don't expect to be able to directly enter various institutions in Gyeonggi if you pass the exam, you can only expect to be transferred in the future, promoted and then enter Gyeonggi.

If you take the entrance examination in Jinneungseong, you may be directly assigned to a department in Gyeonggi if you have a good ranking.

There is a big difference between serving in Gyeonggi and serving in the local government.

At the end of February, the examination will be officially held!

As in previous years, Li Xuan personally sat in the examination room of Jinling City, but as in previous years, he only showed his face, and then returned to the back to deal with other affairs.

Candidates, basically there is no hope of seeing Li Xuan at close range, if they really want to see it, they have to wait until after the palace examination, when Li Xuan will personally preside over the exam, and even mark the paper on the spot, this is also the only opportunity to see the Son of Heaven up close in the lives of most new science scholars.

After all, after the palace test, they will go to work everywhere, and it is difficult for most of them to rise to the top level, and then see Li Xuan, only a few lucky people can climb all the way, and then have the opportunity to see Li Xuan again.

The difficulty of this exam is obviously more difficult than in previous years, especially the content of science.

There is no way, as the Tang Dynasty has successively carried out modern education, and it has also added science content to the imperial examination, so whether they want to or not, students who want to enter the official career have to study science.

After a long time of studying, there are more people learning, and the students' comprehensive science level is growing, if it is still the difficulty of the early years to come out of the entity, it is estimated that many people can get full marks in the paper, but this will also lose the role of selecting talents.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the difficulty.

But this has made many students sad, especially last year, they couldn't take the exam, and this year they finally studied well, and when they came to the exam again, they found that the difficulty increased again, and the despair was difficult for outsiders to understand.

How to say it, there are people who can't pass the test, but there will still be people who get in.

Out of more than 5,000 people, there are always 1,000 people to be selected, so you don't need to do much good, you just need to be better than others.

While the students outside were meditating on the scroll, Li Xuan also simply dealt with today's trivial matters, and then returned directly to the harem.

There are not many things today, mainly about the imperial examination, and Li Xuan also ordered the imperial examination, so naturally someone was watching, so he quickly returned to the harem, but not long after, he secretly slipped out of the palace with the guards and secretaries.

Taking advantage of the rare free day, he wants to have a long-planned private visit to Weifu!

The destination of Weifu's private visit is naturally the Qinhuai River that Li Xuan has been longing for for a long time!
