Chapter Ninety-Five: A Different Approach to Selecting Officials

At this time, Han Lin'er was really embarrassed, and wanted to wait for Du Zundao to come to relieve him, but at this time, Du Zundao was indifferent, just silently thinking about the incomplete imperial examination system that was criticized by Han Lin'er just now.

This is like this for everyone, when there is a person who says that the things that he has believed in for a long time in his heart are said to be worthless by others, who will be happy, isn't this indirectly saying, are you a fool?

At this time, Han Lin'er could only rely on herself, thinking, "With my three-inch incorruptible tongue, I can also give you a reason." ”

So Han Lin'er thought of modern education in the 20th century, quality education, a cutting-edge educational concept.

"Don't be surprised, Aiqing, although I said the disadvantages of the imperial examination system, but I also have to admit that this imperial examination system has also made great contributions to the past dynasties. It's just that I see that we should look at this system of electing officials rationally. ”

Han Lin'er couldn't help but look at Du Zundao with an expressionless face at this time, only slightly better.

For China's official election system, there are the "Shiqing Shilu system" in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Qin state according to military merits, the "inspection system, conquest system" in the Han and Han dynasties, the "nine-grade Zhongzheng system" in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, and the "imperial examination system" in the Sui Dynasty.

These are all kinds of systems that have been constantly perfected on the basis of their predecessors, in order to achieve the best results in the selection of officials, so that people with lofty ideals will not have no officials to do, and incompetent people will not be allowed to mingle in the officialdom.

It was only after the "imperial examination system" that ancient China did not change the system of electing officials, but continued to use it until the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when Han Lin'er commented on the "imperial examination system", everyone was amazed.

Immediately, Du Zundao still had to tell his opinion, "The official family said that this imperial examination system is worthless, but we will still follow the views of our ancestors, this literature is the foundation that determines a country, if there is no literature, how can we govern the country." ”

At this time, the hall can be regarded as lively, but I didn't expect Liu Liu's proposal at this moment to turn a good early dynasty into a debate, and the two sides are very different in terms of numbers, one side is only Han Lin'er, and the other side is a group of ministers.

It's just that in terms of strength, it is not necessarily, and more people may not be able to defeat fewer people. At least at this time, Han Lin'er had already gained the upper hand.

"Master Du's question is good, I just like this, you Aiqing can say it if you have your own ideas, how good it would be for me to debate together."

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, and finally he couldn't wait to fall into the contemplation of the imperial examination system revealed by Han Lin'er.

"We can't follow some of the original concepts of the imperial examination system here, but we can further improve the imperial examination system. We can still use the examination as the first level when selecting officials, but we must not use the examination as a way to determine a person's life, and we can also set up other methods for selecting officials, so that as long as you have this will, as long as you want to join the WTO as an official, we can give him the corresponding conditions. ”

At this time, Han Lin'er saw that the ministers in the audience understood a little, "We can implement quality education as the standard for selecting officials." Han Lin'er suddenly went straight to the topic and casually said this lofty "quality education".

It's just that this is a strange word for Liu Futong and others, a word that they don't understand or have never heard, and everyone fell into a state of confusion at this time.

Han Lin'er had already expected that they would not understand this 21st century term, and immediately explained: "This quality education is all-round development, not only looking at each person's literary literacy, but also considering his character, morality, and values." On the other hand, we can't just let this only exam become the only way to enter the officialdom, from the all-round consideration of morality, intelligence, physical beauty, etc., as long as he has a skill, he can be elected as an official, but the premise is to have an absolutely good character. ”

As soon as Han Lin'er said this, everyone understood, and at this time Liu Futong said: "The words of the official, is it for me to select personnel with different abilities for the use of the country, just like the champion of civil and military, civil and military are separated, but they all serve the country." ”

"Yes, what General Liu said is exact, but I need to wait for me to divide the sub-division more finely and more clearly."

At this time, Du Zundao smiled slightly: "The official's strategy is feasible, first of all, we can avoid using this threshold to determine a person's knowledge as the official said, so that we can select different talents from many aspects." ”

Han Lin'er smiled slightly at this time, thinking, "Alas! You finally get the hang of it, and finally understand the benefits of my system, just wait and watch, this system can definitely recruit versatile people in the audience. ”

"Then since you Aiqing have no other objections, I will decide."

Immediately, everyone just nodded, "There is no objection, this official system can be said to be advanced, and we admire it." It's just that the official family has such a broad horizon, and I can't wait. ”

"As long as you let go of your mind and don't be imprisoned by those primitive thoughts, you can also know a lot of different things." At this time, Han Lin'er couldn't help but look at Liu Liu, only to see that he didn't say a word after throwing out this topic, and only asked me to wait here to debate, which is enough to prove that this person's scheming is on par with Liu Futong.

So Han Lin'er said: "Then ask Liu Aiqing to draft an election system!" Han Lin'er looked at Liu Liu, standing there expressionlessly.

Therefore, the name is to see if Liu Liu understands the connotation of "quality education" that Han Lin'er said today, and to see how he wrote this draft.

"Yes, Weichen will live up to the trust of the officials, and he will hand over this draft to the officials tomorrow." Liu Liudao.

"Okay, then you Aiqing are here today!"

So Han Lin'er got up, and then thought to herself, "It's finally over, I've been sitting here for a long time, if I didn't know some etiquette and didn't dare to move casually, otherwise I would have wanted to stand up a long time ago, and my back hurt." ”

So the ministers in the audience bent down and said in unison: "Congratulations to the official." It wasn't until Han Lin'er passed by them that he stood up straight.

After a while, Han Lin'er and his attendants disappeared above the main hall, and at this time, only the ministers were left, and now it was time for them to talk casually.

Du Zundao said: "I don't understand why the official family wants to question this imperial examination system, which is an official election system that has continued from the Sui Dynasty to the present. ”

"Brother Du, you have also heard from the official family about the various drawbacks of the imperial examination system, and besides, the quality of the official family is also very in line with the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China."
