The imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty. This is a system that does not ask about origin, but only about talent.

Of course, this is only the ideal of the creators. In fact, nearly 100 years after the birth of the imperial examination system, Wu Zetian put on the biggest patch: the name system. Until then, if the candidate does not "pass the paper" in advance, no matter how good the test score is, there is no hope of entering the course.

In fact, even with the pseudonym system, later generations of bureaucrats had all kinds of cheating methods. I can always take care of the related households.

Therefore, the development of the imperial examination system for more than 1,000 years is a game process in which the emperor constantly patches and the officials constantly find loopholes.

As a traverser, and saw Guan Yi of the civil service examination system in later generations. Of course, it is possible to make various patches in advance.

Needless to say, the name system is a given, and it is a matter of course to have a room for a lifetime. The examiner was locked in the examination room beforehand, and the examination questions were not drawn up by the emperor himself until the last minute and sent to the examination room.

However, even so, there were huge loopholes in this imperial examination.

Since this was the first imperial examination in the world, the primary election was not difficult at all. As a result, many children as young as twelve or thirteen have successfully passed the preliminary examination. If only these guys could pass the official imperial examination. Then the embarrassment came: the twelve or thirteen-year-old imperial court officials...... Is it true that when Ganluo was twelve years old and became the prime minister, it could be staged at any time every day?

"Hey! This is a mistake on the part of the official. It seems that a Civil Service Law will have to be issued in the future, which will stipulate the lower and upper limits of the age of service. ”

"Hehe, Da Sima, it's easy to make a clear regulation of the lower limit. But the ceiling of this thing? How many officials are willing to do their jobs while they can still move? ”

"Well, that's true. But the predecessors of my Han have all set an example, don't you see Shao Xian (Huo Yi), Gong Xi (Dong Ju), and Kong Shuo (Wang Ji) all taking the initiative? However, Xingzong, what you said is also right, why did you put forward the upper limit of the tenure, there must be a large number of officials who are dissatisfied. There have been so many things going on in the country in recent years that there is no need to stir up public anger on this issue. Of course, let's blow the wind first and listen to everyone's reactions. ”

"Xia Guan knows. But Da Sima, now this time there are so many young candidates? ”

"Hehehe, it's okay, I have a way."

"Dare to ask Ji Ji's exit?"

"The details of the exam haven't been issued yet, have they?"

"Not yet announced."

"Very well, then add one."

As a traverser, of course, Guan Da Sima will not be like the imperial examination on the historical level, only focusing on poetry and songs, and despising other things. This time, in addition to patching as much as possible in preventing cheating, the imperial examination is also very characteristic of a traverser.

There are three exams in the whole exam. The duration of each exam is from Chen to Shen, a full five hours, ten hours.

The first is called Chinese Studies. The main content is divided into three parts: filling in the blanks of classics, interpreting the meaning of the scriptures and poems. The so-called classic fill-in-the-blank is, of course, to pinch off some of the classics in the Four Books and Five Classics, and let the candidates fill in the missing parts. Of course, the interpretation of the scriptures is to take out a paragraph and let the examinee explain and play. As for poetry and songs, it is a test of the candidate's ability to organize language and writing. It can be said that this course is basically the same as the content of the imperial examination in traditional Chinese society, and it is a compromise between the traverser and reality.

At the beginning of the second course, it was completely the content of the traverser-style exam, and Guan Yi was even too lazy to even change the name of the exam, and directly applied it - the administrative vocational ability test.

As a traveler who has experienced the craze of civil service examinations in modern society, although Guan Yi has not personally taken the civil service examination, he has seen many civil service examination questions. In his opinion, the composition of the questions in the Administrative Vocational Aptitude Test is very meaningful.

In the language and writing part, the test is the sense of language. As a civil servant, it is inevitable that you will fall into the sea of documents after joining the company, and the exchange of official documents is a daily work. If you don't even have a sense of language, how do you cope with your daily work?

The mathematics part tests a person's ability to collect, organize, judge, and deduce. After all, civil servants themselves are not very good at calculating basic data, but more often summarize and sort out the figures provided by the following farmers and merchants to get the results. If you don't have a certain ability to organize numbers, how can you cope with your daily work?

The social general knowledge part is even more necessary. How can a person be a social manager if he does not even know the basic situation, basic history, and basic policies of his country?

Therefore, Guan Yi felt that the test module of the Administrative Vocational Aptitude Test was very good, so he directly applied it. Of course, this is the first exam this year, and everyone still doesn't know exactly how to take the exam, and there is definitely no mock question bank in hand to train. Therefore, the difficulty of the exam is not too great, such as the math part, that is, to test the equal difference number series, the equal ratio number series or something - if you can't even memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table, then don't think too much - let you enter the civil service queue It will be a disaster.

Of course, with Guan Yi's lazy and shameless character, since there is a line test, then the third door must be a commentary.

The argument of the first imperial examination of the Han Dynasty has three major paragraphs. The first paragraph of the material first lists the talent selection and allocation methods from the three generations to the Wei and Jin dynasties. The second paragraph enumerates the typical aristocratic and commoner talents of each era and the role they played. The third paragraph of the material details the rules of this imperial examination.

After the materials are listed, the questions will be asked. The first question is that candidates are asked to evaluate the similarities and differences and significance of the talent selection system in previous generations. The second question is that candidates are required to think about how to select talents, how to use talents after selection, and protect talents. The third question is for the candidates to answer the question of what is the significance of the selection of talents after the implementation of the imperial examination.

There are three exams, the last two questions are within the scope of Guan Yi's circle, and the first one is the emperor's own questions. Each exam lasts for five hours and lasts for three consecutive days.

However, the test questions of these three exams are still lying in Liu Chen's study at this time. They will wait until the day of the exam before being escorted to the exam room by Zhuge Jing himself.

"So, what the official thinks is that after these three exams. Let the candidates not rush to leave. After the results come out, those who pass the first three exams will take one more test, the physical fitness test. ”

"Da Sima, you...... Really ......"

"Hahaha, do you want to say that this official is really shameless? Don't say it, this time these teenagers entered the examination room, forcing the official to change the rules, but also reminded the official. If you are an official, you have no strength or your skin is brittle, how can you have the energy to cope with the daily work? Well, the official has decided, and in the future, the imperial examination will be all four. Not only that, but incumbent officials also have to undergo physical examinations every year. Ling Xian (郤正), your officials go and get a detailed plan. This incumbent official has different physical tests, different ages, and of course different requirements. But we have to gradually remove all kinds of sick people from officialdom. ”

"Well, the lower official knows. Draw up the relevant rules as soon as possible. ”

"That's it, Xingzong, what else do you have to add?"

"Da Sima just joined the new physical test project, and the lower officials have no objections. It's just that in this way, those candidates who are too young are destined to miss the exam. But it is undeniable that among these teenagers, there must be a considerable number of outstanding talents with family roots. Is it true that they want to study until they are twenty years old? ”

"Well, you have a point. In this way, the first three exams were passed and the final physical test was brushed off. You can enter Longshouyuan or Wuzhangyuan College without examination. After graduating, Gojohara Academy of course entered the military service. And the Longshouyuan Academy, according to the previous regulations, does not want to be casual. For those who want to be a leader, there is a separate examination organized by the Ministry of Officials. As long as it is passed, it is also conferred an official position. ”

"Da Sima's arrangement is also appropriate, and the lower officials have no objections."

"Good, so be it! Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first imperial examination in the world. Although we try our best to be thoughtful, there are definitely all kinds of problems in practice. However, don't be afraid if there are problems, we can continue to summarize and improve in future practice. In short, the imperial examination is more fair to talented people in the world than the inspection examination and the nine-rank zhongzheng system. Let everyone in the world see the hope of changing their situation through their own talents! That's what we're doing here! ”
