"Yes, scientific expedition!" Yang Wu said with a smile: "Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, although the imperial court has insisted on taking the imperial examination, there are many shady scenes inside, and the fraud is very serious. Many talented scholars www.biquge.info the pen, fun and pavilion had no way to be promoted, so with the chaos in the world, many people could only attach themselves to various feudal towns, or serve as staff members for some local assassins, but more scholars chose to live in seclusion in the mountains, or cultivate and study heirlooms, or open private schools. ”

"It's not that these people don't want to come out to be officials, it's that they don't have a way to be officials at all, after all, only a few people can be reused by all forces. The child thinks that if they are given a way to compete fairly, there will definitely be a lot of excellent talents coming! ”

There has never been a shortage of talents in the world, and what is lacking is a reasonable mechanism for selecting talents, especially in troubled times. Although the Tang Dynasty passed reforms during the Wu Zetian period, the fairness of the imperial examination was improved, and the imperial examination became an important way to select talents. However, during the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of fraud in the imperial examinations were still very serious, and by the end of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations were controlled by some powerful people, and many talented sons could only live in recklessness.

If the selection can be carried out by a relatively fair means, it will surely attract many talented scribes. However, although the benefits of scientific research are obvious, many feudal towns do not practice scientific research today.

The reason for this is that now all the feudal towns are martial arts masters, and they do not pay much attention to culture and education, and most of the officials are held by military generals, and there are not many positions that really need scribes, that is, some staff strategists, and they are enough to serve their scholars, and there is no need to open the imperial examination.

That is, Jiangxi, who is more interested in culture and education, has had some moves similar to scientific expeditions, which have caused many foreign scholars to run over.

However, Zhong Chuan is not a master, although he attaches great importance to culture and education, and also appoints some scholars, but he has been in Jiangxi for many years, but he does not have much momentum, and it seems that the future is not big, so those really capable scholars actually did not have many people to go to him.

But Huainan is different, Huainan is a famous strong clan in the world, and Yang Xingmi's reputation is famous in the whole world, if he opens a scientific examination, I think many truly talented scholars will also be willing to come.

"It's also a good idea to start a scientific examination." Yang Xingmi nodded, "It's just, which subject are you going to open?" Ming Jing? Clear-handed? Or Jinshiko? You see, those who read the dead may not have any real ability, and many people who have real ability may not understand the Confucian scriptures. You open a science, but don't recruit people who read dead books! ”

If it is said that the feudal towns are not very interested in the imperial examination now, in fact, it is also because many people who are really capable are actually not good at scientific examinations, such as Zhu Quanzhong's staff Jingxiang, who was a failed scholar at the beginning; There is also Yang Xingmi's original strategist Yuan Xian, who is also an unsatisfactory person in the imperial examination, as well as Dai Yougui, Yan Keqiu, Gao Mian, etc., these did not take the path of the imperial examination, but they are also very talented, so Yang Xingmi did not pay much attention to the imperial examination before.

"For the time being, only enlighten the Enlightenment and Arithmetic Studies!" Yang Wu said.

The Ming Jing course was the basic subject of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, and the main subjects were the examination of the scriptures and policy theories. Among them, the main thing is to recite the scriptures, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is not much problem for ordinary people; On the other hand, a policy theory is an article that discusses current political issues and offers advice to the imperial court, which is where a person's talents are really examined.

In contrast, Jinshike examines poetry and poetry, among which poetry and poetry require extremely high talent; If you are admitted to the science department, many talented but not good at poetry and singing are afraid that they will fall at this level. Therefore, Yang Wu chose the Ming Classics, which is conducive to those scholars who are better at strategy and theory, to exert their abilities.

Ming arithmetic is an examination of mathematics and a kind of natural science. However, the Ming arithmetic department was not valued in the Tang Dynasty, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the number of people admitted to the Ming arithmetic department was very small, and the selected ones also went to the Qingjing Yamen such as Qin Tianjian, so there were not many people who were willing to take the exam; By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Ming arithmetic department was abolished.

As a later generation, Yang Wu naturally attaches great importance to mathematics, even if he may not be able to recruit any talents in the enlightened arithmetic department at this time, he still has to give it a try.

Of course, no matter which subject it is, in fact, Yang Wu still has great dissatisfaction, but now everything is in ruins, and he is still conservative when he first opens the imperial examination, according to the previous subjects, and then make adjustments when he is on the right track in the future.

"Now that you have an idea, let it go. As for your brother-in-law, you have to remember that he is your brother-in-law no matter what, and he should be your closest person and the most powerful person, and don't blindly trust outsiders and forget to cultivate these in-laws. Yang Xingmi finally admonished, obviously agreeing to Yang Wu's arrangement for Liu Rengui.

Yang Wu hurriedly nodded yes.

Hongzhou.

Since Zhong Chuan seized Jiangxi, the land of Jiangxi because it is far away from the military disaster, a large number of people from other places have fled here for more than ten years, which has brought great benefits to the local development.

In the Zhennan Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, a controversy is still going on.

Although the order to send troops to Shezhou has already been issued, and the 60,000 troops responsible for the expedition have been prepared, the most critical place, the question of who will lead the troops, has never been resolved.

It stands to reason that the 60,000-strong army is also a large-scale war in the south, so the best candidate to lead the troops is naturally Zhong Chuan himself, but in recent times, Zhong Chuan has been ill and cannot go out in person, so he can only choose one of his sons as the main general, and then let one of the generals in the army be the deputy.

It's just that Zhong Chuan feels embarrassed by which son to choose as the general, after all, this is not only a question of who will lead the army to the battle, but more importantly, it will affect the future heir.

His eldest son, Zhong Kuangshi, was both the eldest son and the son-in-law, and he was originally the best candidate for succession, and he had many supporters among many officials, and many generals in the army also supported him. But Zhong Chuan was not very satisfied with him, and felt that his personality was a little weak; Although Zhong Chuan attaches great importance to culture and education, he also knows that a weak heir is not a good thing in this troubled world.

As for the second son, Zhong Yangui, he has similarities with Zhong Chuan in all aspects, and is the most loved by Zhong Chuan. And he also has some knowledge of the military, and he is the best candidate to lead the troops, but his personality is a bit extreme, which offends many people, resulting in his relatively few supporters among many officials.

Therefore, compared with the two parties, Zhong Chuan has never been able to make up his mind who should choose as the heir, so naturally he can't decide who will lead the troops.
