Chapter 677: Reborn from the Fire

Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing has been ordained, and he can't taste the wise man and gentleman who rules the world with him?

And he is virtuous, he has never been out of Lu Lane, how can he be lucky to meet? The ear of those who are above seek it.

Today's decision has not yet been made, and this special talent is also urgent.

Meng Gong is Zhao and Wei Lao is superior, and he can't be Teng and Xue Dafu.

If it is available later, then how can Qi Huan dominate the world!

Is there anyone who is fishing in Weibin by brown jade today?

And did you have to steal the money and not meet the ignorant?

Yu Zeng Wen, between the countryside, virtuous talents, useless force, now wide open examination, selection of good officials, so that the field is left unremarkable, the world is used by the Han Dynasty!

The above is Fuquan's later performance of the imperial court's "Examination and Selection of Talents", which was widely circulated in later generations, after all, this is the first time in history that it was established under the principle of fairness and justice, and the information on the selection of talents by examination.

Of course, this is Fu Quan's brazen plagiarism and adaptation of Cao Cao's "Seeking Talents" in real history, and making a new "Examination and Seeking Merits Order".

Obviously, this edict, which was later issued by Emperor Liu Chong untouched, immediately made countless poor scholars with no family background boil.

Originally, they needed to rely on their own strength to cultivate filial piety and fame in the county, so that they could be favored by the governor of the state and county and called into the officials. After that, with some hard work, the governor of the state and county took a fancy to him, so that the governor of the state and county could see the old love and strive for a place of filial piety and honesty for them, so as to promote filial piety and become officials.

Now, it is obviously different, with the opening of the imperial court to take the official examination, they do not need to spend half a lifetime of effort to fight for the position of an ordinary minor official who is a descendant of a powerful family and can't even look at it.

In Fu Quan's view, the imperial examination system is undoubtedly the greatest invention of the political system of the ancient country, and there is no one.

If there was no imperial examination, in ancient times, when the class was obviously more solidified than in later generations, ordinary people would obviously have no chance to confront the historical class forces of the world.

Even in the world more than 2,000 years later, the imperial examination system is still thriving and has spread to the whole world, although the imperial examination system at that time has changed its form and changed to a vest called the civil service examination, but there are still countless people who work hard for a lifetime for a pair of iron rice bowls.

Think about the annual civil service examination of the Great Heavenly Dynasty in my later generations, the candidates are like carp crossing the river, for a place, countless people study hard in the cold window, and they are poor in vain.

Of course, it's not just the Celestial Empire. The situation is similar in other countries, where comfort, stability, comfort, and decency are synonymous with civil servants. And whether it is called the imperial examination or the civil service examination, the essence is the same, that is, to find operators for the state apparatus, and it is precisely because of this that countless poor people will rise, so that they can find a place to live in an increasingly class-hardened society.

To tell the truth, Fuquan is not sure whether this so-called examination can select talents, and it is somewhat risky to select talents as officials by examination, rather than in line with the current method of recommending and selecting talents with fame or virtue today.

Undoubtedly, this is a very difficult thing, because since the restoration of Guangwu Liu Xiu, the Han family has been rebuilt because of the strong and powerful of the world, and then naturally in the national policy, it is inevitable to condone the development of the powerful and powerful of the world.

But what is not forbidden by the law, the powerful and powerful of the world can play whatever they want, and the Han court and government will not care, so industry and commerce have developed rapidly.

Of course, behind this rapid development, there are many powerful people in the world, but there are very few people who really start from scratch and reach the peak of life step by step.

During this period, these powerful families, with their wealth, nimble minds, and the connivance of their corrupt government, seized almost all the lucrative industries allowed by law, of which the salt and iron trade was the most fundamental of them.

Now, if Fuquan wants to pry the foundation of this powerful clan, even if it is just in trade, collecting the taxes that should have been collected by the original Han Dynasty is undoubtedly killing them, and they will inevitably fight hard.

Therefore, after replacing the corrupt prison officials in various places, Fuquan couldn't wait to select the loyal and disabled veterans under his command over the years to serve as supervisors in various places, and at the same time played the "Examination and Recruitment Order", calling on the wise people who have courage and strategy in the world to seek the way that can be promoted to officials and become officials.

This move is naturally due to the fact that Fuquan has to send additional manpower in order to prevent those supervisors who have soldiers to succeed them and have low cultural quality from supervising the salt and iron trade.

After all, not to mention the problem of forming a party and engaging in personal gain that must be prevented when others recommend the Hanmen scholars, let's just say that Fuquan really recruited all the Hanmen scholars who were recommended and appointed them as supervisors, will these Hanmen scholars really accept the appointment and dismissal of the supervisors?

There is no doubt that most of the Hanmen scholars will obviously not accept this resolution, after all, most of the Hanmen scholars who seek relationships and are recommended by others have their original intention of being officials, how can they be willing to accept themselves as officials?

In this case, Fuquan can only find another way, in addition to recommending and appointing some talented people from the poor family that he had heard of in his previous life, or talents he himself has personally inspected, this is the matter of selecting officials for the land of salt and iron in the world, and he completely chooses it by examination.

After all, those who are willing to pass the examination must have recognized the reality that the first step in their career is to be an official, and there is no doubt that this will make those who participate in the examination will not have any resistance, thus avoiding some unnecessary troubles.

Of course, starting from officials does not mean that they do not have the opportunity to be officials, and even ascend to the position of the three princes and nine secretaries, but compared with those who take filial piety as officials and whose official career is much smoother than them, these people who take officials as the starting point will undoubtedly be much lower at the starting point, and at the same time, in terms of promotion to official positions, they will also spend much more time and cost than those who promote filial piety and honesty as officials.

This is the imperial examination system, the inevitable trend of replacing the recommendation system, perhaps many hard-working scholars are not willing to start lower than the powerful people of the world, and are not willing to participate in the examination as officials.

However, compared with those who can persevere, most of the poor scholars are undoubtedly unable to persevere, and many of them spend a lot of money at home to enter the local private school to study and learn knowledge.

If you want them to compare with the children of the powerful people of the world, the children of the powerful people of the world are all promoted to filial piety and honesty, so that they can get the remaining filial piety quota as officials, and it is obvious that most people will not be able to consume it until that time.

Think about it, Liu Bei, a dilapidated clan, didn't rely on the funding of the clan elders, how could he have the opportunity to go to Lu Zhi's place to study? And after he finished studying, his family had no money and no power, not to mention returning to his hometown to be filial piety and honesty, but he couldn't even afford to be a country official, so he could only fool around in his hometown in the name of Lu Zhi and Gongsun Zhan, and even the last scholar intellectual, he could only enter the office from an old revolution that the world's reading intellectuals looked down on, and he couldn't get rid of this head for the rest of his life, which shows the survival of the down-and-out scholars.

Let's talk about the great Confucian Zheng Jing, when he was a teenager, his father and brother supported him to study, and he didn't care that he didn't give birth, but when he reached adulthood, he couldn't afford his study at all, and he could only force him to become famous.

Now, what Fu Quan wants is people like Liu Bei and Zheng Jing, who have a certain talent, but have no chance to become officials, and are willing to be officials, as the cornerstone for him to pry the Han Dynasty filial piety and recommendation as officials.

He believed that as long as this method of opening the examination to obtain officials could be implemented, as the central government and the local governments passed, more and more people passed the examination to become officials, and these junior officials gradually became high-ranking officials.

It will definitely be in the near future, and there will gradually be a scene of opening the examination and becoming an official, and at that time, the filial piety and honesty recommendation system, which has been inherited by the Han Dynasty for a long time and is very beneficial to the powerful and powerful of the world, will be completely swept into the garbage heap of history.

Even in the future, there will be examples of the emperor liking the knowledge of certain ministers, recommended by his cronies, and directly enshrined high-ranking officials, but in the general trend, they can not shake the status of fairness in the examination and selection of outstanding talents, because this is advantageous from the perspective of the imperial court or the perspective of the vast number of poor scholars who have no way out.

The only disadvantage is that they need to constantly monopolize all kinds of social resources to ensure the interests of their families and powerful families with special power positions. However, it is obvious that at that time, even if the clan dares to oppose it, it will not be able to target the increasingly powerful Hanmen Scholar group, and all they can do is obey and compromise.

After all the preparations for the opening of the examination were arranged, Fu Quan temporarily moved his eyes to the Western Regions, where his heart disease had not been removed.

As for how those powerful people in the world will oppose the opening of the examination for officials, and whether the poor scholars from all over the country will respond to the new policy of opening the examination for officials, Fuquan has no way to solve it.

In a word, things are man-made, every big thing that changes the times, there is always a small group of people who can see the situation clearly and make reasonable choices, if they can't even see the situation clearly, even if they have good knowledge and talent, Fuquan will not have too many ideas.

After all, for Fuquan, the introduction of this method of opening the examination for officials is said to be to recruit talents for the Han Dynasty, but in fact, why not hope to find more courageous and knowledgeable people, slowly infiltrate from the foundation, and finally make a makeover of the entire bureaucratic power structure of the Han Dynasty?

Only by changing the basic soil that the Han Dynasty can now cultivate the gate valve family, from the folk to the central government, can the Han be truly reborn from the ashes, and the guarantee of the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty.

If there is no such change, no matter how many measures Fuquan makes, it will not be able to change the social perception that this family is powerful and powerful, and that birth is everything.
