Chapter 345: Imperial Examination
Historical records, in June 195 AD, the war ended, although Yuzhou was taken, the emperor was injured.
After the drama was put into the ground, more than half a month later, everyone seemed to begin to accept this reality.
Liu Wei also gradually regained his fighting spirit, and gradually began to deal with things big and small.
"Your Majesty, these days, you also have to take care of the dragon's body." In the dormitory, Tang Ji opened his mouth to persuade while sorting out Liu Wei's clothes.
Liu Wei looked at Tang Ji and nodded, "Don't worry, the queen, I understand." ”
He also knew that Tang Ji cared about him, so he naturally felt very relieved.
Today's self is no longer a person in this troubled world, with family, friends, and ambitions.
Then Liu Wei said hello to Tang Ji, and went to the main hall under the support, and at this time there were still people waiting for him to discuss political affairs.
Although it is said that he has not unified the world now, he is completely under his control of Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, and Sili.
Liangzhou Ma Teng is attached, although it is not completely controlled, but it is nominally under control.
It is also a place where many princes have been recovered.
The political affairs of these places now naturally have to be handled by themselves.
What's more, there are also several battles between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, which also need their own attention.
"Your Majesty has been seen."
After Liu Wei came to the main hall, everyone bowed and saluted.
"Get up." Liu Wei looked at the crowd and raised his hand to signal.
"A few days ago, I was not in a good mood, I failed to serve the council, I have to work for you, I don't know what important matters need to be discussed and decided today?"
Liu Wei looked at Xun You and the others in the audience and asked.
Everyone naturally knew that Liu Wei was delayed for a while because of Xi Zhicai's matter.
They didn't feel anything bad about this, on the contrary, they admired Liu Wei's affection.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." Xun You was the first to step forward and speak.
As an old minister who has followed Liu Wei since Luoyang, government affairs have always been in his hands, and then Liu Wei decides.
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, suppressing all kinds of princes, although it is not unified now, but it also has several states, and now there is a shortage of county officials, and it is urgent to rectify the officials and settle the people's livelihood."
After Liu Wei heard this, he immediately nodded, he only cares about fighting the world, and indeed with the expansion of his power, the management must also be rectified.
In the past, it was just a state and a county, which was fine, but now it is different.
"So what good advice does Gongda have?" Liu Wei looked at Xun You and asked.
"Nowadays, many counties, counties, and officials are vacant, and the big families are replacing them, and the power has been deeply rooted for a long time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of it."
Regarding Xun You's concerns, Liu Wei naturally knows that these big families, once they are in power, where are they willing to spit out the fat in their mouths.
He worked hard to fight the world, but as a result, he made them reconcile, how could Liu Wei agree to such a thing.
However, it is indeed not a simple matter to elect so many officials for a while.
"Since there is a shortage of officials, then I will open an imperial examination and elect talents to the world."
Since he wants to elect officials, the first thing that comes to Liu Wei's mind is naturally the imperial examination system.
At least before the Bagu Scholars, the advantages of the imperial examination system definitely outweighed the disadvantages, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the advantages of the imperial examination system in terms of selecting officials and maintaining social stability outweighed the disadvantages.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the college entrance examination is also a continuation in Liu Wei's view.
Moreover, the imperial examination system has an absolute impact on the talent monopoly of the family.
"Open the imperial examination?" Xun You and the others were stunned after hearing Liu Wei's words.
This is the official election system that only began in the Sui and Tang dynasties and then gradually improved, so they naturally didn't know it.
So after hearing this, they were all monks of Zhanger, and they were all confused.
"That's right, to put it simply, officials are selected by examination, and then sent to various places as officials." Liu Wei looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"In this way, I can recruit the best people from all over the world."
After listening to Liu Bian's words, Xun You couldn't help frowning, he naturally knew the benefits of Liu Bian's method.
But would this family be willing?
"Your Majesty, although Your Majesty's move is good, I'm afraid this family will not agree easily." Xun You voiced his concerns.
"Gongda, I ask you, are there many big families in this world? Or ordinary people, how many sons of the poor family? ”
Liu Wei smiled and asked rhetorically, it was these families that he was fighting against, and now it is still the time to speak with strength in troubled times.
Xun You instantly understood what Liu Wei meant, this family controlled a lot of resources, but the number was far inferior to ordinary people.
If the imperial examination system is really promoted, ordinary people will definitely stand on Liu Bian's side.
"This matter is so decided, I will personally write out the details of the imperial examination system, and you will discuss and revise it when the time comes."
Liu Wei looked at Xun You and the others and decided, after all, the imperial examination system must also adapt to the current era.
"How's the war going now?" After the matter of the election was decided, Liu Wei immediately looked at everyone and asked.
"Liu Bei captured Yanzhou and took a few cities at the beginning, but after Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, Liu Bei was at a loss."
After hearing this, Liu Wei didn't feel anything unusual about the news.
Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation, their strength was still a lot worse after all.
"What about Lu Bu?" Liu Wei continued to ask.
This Lu Bu and Liu Bei raised troops together, and the two of them should give Cao Cao a headache.
"Lu Bu's attack on Qingzhou has slowed down the offensive, and there is a great intention to withdraw the army." Guo Jia frowned and said.
He didn't expect this, it stands to reason that no one interfered, and since they had raised troops, they should be more aggressive.
"Master Wang, you ask the big people to investigate this matter more and see if they can find anything." After understanding Guo Jia's doubts, Liu Wei looked at Wang Yue and ordered.
"Yes." Wang Yue replied after hearing Liu Wei's words.
After listening to Wang Yue's answer, Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction, but Liu Wei also knew that no matter how he investigated, even if he knew the reason, I am afraid that the war would already have a result by then.
After retiring from the dynasty, Liu Wei came to the study and began to write according to the imperial examination system of later generations.
However, it is basically a complete continuation of the system of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
When Liu Wei finished writing everything, he summoned Xun You, Guo Jia and others the next day to discuss the imperial examination.
Xun You was also very surprised after reading it, such a set of official election system came out of Liu Wei's hands.
Its role is naturally self-evident and far-reaching.
Of course, Liu Wei didn't know what Xun You was thinking, and if he knew, he would probably be embarrassed, after all, this was not created by himself, but he stole it in advance.
"What's the problem?" Seeing that Xun You, Guo Jia and the others did not speak, Liu Wei asked with some apprehension.
"Your Majesty's imperial examination system will have a far-reaching impact, and this great kindness is a blessing for my poor disciples."
Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and said excitedly.
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and it was good to be able to apply it.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion for this imperial examination system to be filial piety."
"Although." Liu Wei immediately opened his mouth and said, he was originally discussing with them, so he naturally didn't care.
"Your Majesty, although it is a talent from all over the world, it can be added that anyone who wants to participate in the imperial examination must live in the state and county ruled by His Majesty."
As soon as Liu Wei heard Guo Jia's words, he instantly understood.
This is to increase the population of their own states and counties, after all, whether it is to pay taxes, conscription needs population.
"But will this turn off others?"
"Your Majesty can indicate that this is for the needs of officials, if it is undecided today, Your Majesty's officials will certainly not be able to dispatch them at will."
"However, in the big family, Your Majesty can relax a little and slowly figure it out."
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Wei couldn't help but admire, Guo Jia really thought more thoughtfully than himself.
"Okay, then, then I'll leave it to Fengxiao, and when the time comes, post the notice and let everyone know."
Three days later, Guo Jia's revision was recognized by everyone, and documents and notices about the imperial examination system were also sent out from Jinyang.
immediately set off a huge sensation, and naturally the happiest were those ordinary people.
"Interesting, this young emperor is so young, but he has such courage, could it be that he is really an endless man?"
"I want to see it." In the crowd, an old man nodded at the notice and said.
