As in the past, if you are directly awarded an official position by relying on the shade, it will be very difficult, and you may not be able to graduate from the Guozijian like Fan Chunren.

However, if you just don't want to be an official, you don't need to be so painful. The official family still followed the original policy of supplementing the children of civil officials with their grades, and gave their children corresponding Jilu officials.

It's just that if you eat a lot of money, Da Song can still afford it.

The second suggestion is about next year's imperial examination.

Next year, at the time of the imperial examination, Enke should be added after it.

In the imperial examination, during the palace examination, some young and handsome people under the age of 30 were specially selected. Youth is their biggest advantage, these people can stay in Bianliang City first, take turns to intern in the sixth department, and follow the seniors to familiarize themselves with the ministry affairs while learning from their experience.

The state and county governments are nothing more than a miniature version of the central government. After that, except for the top three in the imperial examination, everyone else had to go through the scoring of the six Shangshu and the left and right squires. Then, according to the score, the corresponding official position is awarded.

It is now tentatively decided that these new jinshi must stay in each ministry for three months, which is a total of one and a half years.

The Yushitai and other supervision departments can also conduct inspections among these students, and for those Jinshi who have an upright personality and are not good at communicating with people, they can also stay in the capital for half a year to examine whether they are suitable for the supervision departments.

After these students are sent to the localities, they have to go through the experience of the county, prefecture, and transfer envoy levels, and according to the principle of civil service evaluation, even the officials who are promoted the fastest and have the most outstanding political achievements will have to spend a full nine years.

In this way, from the time of the entrance examination to the expiration of the official position at the level of transfer envoy, it will take a full eleven and a half years. Of course, among the six departments in the capital, not every department has to stay for three months.

Jinshi who think that they are already familiar with the ministry can also apply for the ministry assessment in advance. In order to prevent fraud, the ministry examination will be examined and assessed by the supervision department such as the Imperial Historical Observatory.

The prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty must have started from the county, which was much more advanced than the later Ming Dynasty's 'non-Jinshi did not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin did not enter the cabinet'.

After all these years of training, these students may be able to grow up with characters like Kou Zhun and Li Kang in the future.

Eleven years later, the promotion will be in the capital, which is only the most ideal state, and it is difficult for most people to achieve. There will always be people who will serve two terms at the county and state levels before they can get the opportunity to be promoted.

Therefore, the age limit for the selection of jinshi is limited to 30 years old because there is very little room for improvement for scholars over 30 years old. Of course, not choosing students over the age of 30 to take the Jinshi examination means giving up these people completely.

The purpose of the program is to select talents from among these older students. However, the method of internship is different from that of Jinshi, and if you want to go to that department for internship, you must first take an exam, and those who pass the examination can enter the department for internship. Those who have the ability to pass all the assessments of the supervision departments such as the Six Ministries and the Imperial Historical Observatory are eligible to enjoy the same treatment as Jinshi.

However, Cai Dao also suggested that some amazing and glamorous talents should be given a chance to go straight to the heavens, that is, the official family personally made the assessment, and the results of the assessment must first be approved by the official family, and then voted by the three envoys, the imperial history Zhongcheng and the six Shangshu, if the results are more than half, then the student will also get the position of secretary next to the official family.

This time, of course, Prime Minister Han Jin also has the right to participate in the vote, but once Han Jin passes away, the six prime ministers of the DPRK and China will basically become decorations in the future. The same is true of the Privy Councillors. As long as Han Zhongyan himself does not make mistakes, the position of this privy envoy has always been his, and he also has the right to vote on this matter, but after him, the privy envoy will also become an ornament.

Absent prime ministers are not allowed to participate in political meetings, and privy envoys are not allowed to participate in even normal military meetings.

The fictitious prime minister and the fictitious privy envoy are not allowed to concurrently hold the substantive positions of the six ministers or the squire.

After the completion of the internship in the six departments, the Jinshi basically held official positions such as county commanders, county officials, county lieutenants, and the chief secretary of the prefectures, while those students of the system basically conferred officials according to the departments of their internships after the internship, such as the auxiliary officials of the prefecture literature, teaching assistants, the chief secretary of the prefectures, and the captain of the Panbao.

However, for Jinshi, directly entering the Sixth Department of Internship is also a preferential treatment that only next year's Jinshi will enjoy. It will be four years later that the top three will have this honor. The second list of Jinshi can only choose three departments, the third list of Jinshi can only choose two departments, and the supervision departments such as Yushitai are selected by the departments themselves, even if they are champions, they may not be able to enter.

In this era, after all, the life span of an individual is still too short, and there are very few people like Han Jin who can live to the age of seventy or eighty.

If they do well, they will have to spend more than six years longer than those genuine jinshi from the county to the prefecture, from the prefecture to the transfer envoy, and then from the transfer envoy to the center.

In this way, it is not only a waste of the lives of these students, but also a waste of the resources of the imperial court. After all, the Great Song Dynasty has always been plagued by the big problem of redundant officials, and official positions have always been limited, so it is better to leave these limited official positions to those young people to experience.

As for candidates over the age of 40, in principle, they will not be admitted even if they are subject to the system. Unless they are students who are quite good at literary skills, the imperial court can leave them behind and participate in the compilation of books or history books by the imperial court. Cai Dao still left them a chance to become officials, these people stayed in the capital to learn official dialect, and after completing their studies, they returned to their hometowns to work as teachers in various townships.

Cai Dao suggested that schools should be established in all townships across the country to popularize cultural education, because even advanced agricultural technology is still too inefficient by word of mouth. If ordinary people can read and write, the books on agricultural technology will be compiled and promulgated all over the world, and it will certainly benefit all parties. The only thing to worry about is the problem of teachers, and these older students are a direction to solve this problem.

After the imperial examination next year, a new school will be built in Bianliang City, called the Great Song Dynasty Royal Normal College, and those over the age of 40 will be the first batch of students to enter it to study and receive training.

In the future, if someone can graduate from this highly qualified college, he will be awarded the two official positions of township literature or township assistant teacher.

Don't look at such a small official position, although it is not in the stream, it also has to receive a salary.

However, like Guozijian, the Great Song Dynasty Royal Teachers College also adopted a policy of leniency and strictness. Anyone can enter it for study and training, but if you want to graduate from it easily, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

After listening to these two suggestions, Zhao Xu humbly accepted them. Moreover, several important ministers were specially summoned together to discuss the matter. However, at this time, Cai Dao had already left the palace. And his two suggestions naturally became Zhao Xu's own ideas.

It's not that Zhao Xu is greedy for merit, but Cai Dao himself retreated. Or because of his own age, besides, he is now a Taoist priest, if he asks Zhao Xu about Taoism, Zhang Xuan and those people will definitely not object.

But if they knew that these two suggestions were put forward by Cai Dao, everyone would oppose them. But if Zhao Xu said it himself, after thinking calmly, Zhang Duan and the others would definitely agree with Zhao Xu's two suggestions, and at most everyone would mention their own suggestions in them, supplementing and improving the deficiencies in Cai Dao's suggestions.

However, Cai Dao still told Zhao Xu that during the palace examination, he must not accept all the orders, and when he will take the examination, he can admit half more students, and when he takes the palace examination, only half of the people will be selected. Only in this way will these students recognize who they are protégés.

The Great Song Dynasty's originally good imperial examination was almost completely corrupted in the hands of Renzong, and if the palace examination was not dethroned, it would naturally greatly weaken the authority of the royal family.

Cai Dao also privately asked people to offer a suggestion to Zhao Xu, that is, to abolish the clause in Fan Zhongyan's examination system that students must protect each other during the township examination.

Fan Zhongyan was born in poverty, but when he formulated the imperial examination system, he formulated such a clause, which was a huge shackle for those poor students. If, without a guarantor, a scholar from a poor background would not be able to participate in the imperial examination.

This is completely different from what Song Zhenzong wants to express to the people in his persuasion poem. In the end, it became the same as before, and the political opportunities of the court were occupied by the surnames Han and Lu.

This imperial history is controlled by Cai Dao privately, and for the seven-color collar organization, the three supervision agencies, including the imperial history platform, are the best place for them to be produced in the government and hide their identities.

They can take advantage of their status and take the opportunity to patrol places to carry out tasks within the organization.
