As long as it comes to the Ming Jun in history, you can't get around the familiar names of "Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Zu", putting aside the founding emperor Yingzheng and Zhao Kuangyin, why are Liu Che and Li Shimin called Ming Jun?

One of the important reasons is to be good at employing people, during their reign, the military generals shined, and the heroes have been passed down through the ages, and their deeds are still well-known, such as:

Dong Zhongshu, Dongfang Shuo, Sima Qian, Dou Ying, Sima Xiangru, Su Wu, Zhang Qian, Master Father Yan, Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang...... Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Xue Rengui......

Why is it that when they were in power, there were many talented people, and people of insight filled the government and the opposition, while other generations of heavenly sons suffered from the dilemma of lack of talents all year round?

Is it just luck? Of course not.

There is a good saying: Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have.

It is not difficult to find that although the inspection system was first proposed by Emperor Wen, it was completed during the reign of Emperor Wu, and various regulations were introduced one after another. Various subjects have been continuously enriched, and only then have a unified selection criteria and examination methods.

Tang Taizong was a key figure in the improvement of the imperial examination system, and he attached great importance to the cultivation and selection of talents. After taking the throne, the scale of the college was greatly expanded, and the number of students was increased. His sentence "All the heroes of the world are in my place!" A thousand years later, it is still talked about -

It is precisely because they have perfected the "probationary system" and the "imperial examination system," which were advanced at that time, that they were able to rule without the distress of lack of talent, create a prosperous era, and become the first emperor of the ages.

With their successful cases, Zhang Fan naturally wanted to follow suit, of course, first of all, to successfully implement the imperial examination system.

Zhang Fan was building a city and forcibly relocating, and the reason why he spent so much effort was to ensure that there would not be much resistance to the implementation of the imperial examination system. But why did the Shi clan gate valve group resolutely resist the imperial examination system?

This starts with the main features of the imperial examination system:

In principle, scholars are allowed to 'go on their own', and they do not have to be specially recommended by the ministers or governors of prefectures and counties, which is the most important feature of the imperial examination system and the most fundamental difference from the probationary system.

The imperial examination system improved the previous employment system, completely breaking the monopoly of blood hereditary relations and clans; "Morning for Tian Shelang, twilight to Tianzi Hall", some of the middle and lower classes of society capable scholars enter the upper class of society, get the opportunity to display their talents.

This point can be said to be even more serious than "digging up the ancestral graves of those big families", after all, this has cut off the opportunity for a considerable part of their descendants to become officials. In ancient China, where the official position was based, this was undoubtedly a catastrophe.

It was with these in mind that Xi Zhicai exhorted Zhang Fan with a solemn expression:

"My lord, you have to think twice! Although you have moved all the first-class local tycoons into Huiji, the remaining local tyrants are still a force to be reckoned with, and they are absolutely unwilling to be killed! Besides, those wealthy families who moved into Huiji are still short after all, and their inextricable network of relationships in the local area has not yet had time to be eradicated. I'm afraid to act rashly—"

Zhang Fan stretched out his hand to stop his words, and said categorically: "I understand all this. You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind. You can do what I want! Success, not failure. ”

Xi Zhicai's doubts are not groundless, in fact, Zhang Fan has long been psychologically prepared for this, just like the "state-owned enterprise reform" in the nineties, a large number of people lost the "iron rice bowl", the painful period of reform is inevitable, it may cause social unrest, chaos, may greatly aggravate the cost of Zhang Fan's rule, but Zhang Fan this time is a weight and iron heart, must carry out the imperial examination system, and even secretly decided: people block killing, Buddha blocks killing Buddha, insist on a hundred years of unwavering, until death.

Reform is a powerful driving force for social development, but there is naturally a price to be paid for transforming old things and old systems. However, relatively speaking, the current reform is much less resistant than the future reform, and now is indeed the best time.

Why?

First, now that the Shi clan gate valve group has only been initially formed, it is far from reaching the heyday of later generations, and it is natural that the power to fight back will be much weaker.

Second, in the current turbulent times, the old order is collapsing, and the new order has not yet been established, and reform and innovation are more likely to be universally accepted in this special period.

Finally, the founding monarchs were generally far more powerful in prestige and dominance than their descendants. Although Zhang Fan is not yet, if he reforms and implements it, there is no doubt that the hope of success is much greater. If it is really handed over to his descendants to do this, if one is not careful, he may be ruined and the country will be destroyed......

To sum up, Zhang Fan decided that this arduous and glorious task should come by himself! Compared with the broad prospects and the reputation of the first emperor through the ages, the short-term pain in front of me is still worth it!

Zhang Fan patted Zhicai's shoulder and said earnestly:

"Zhicai, I'll leave this matter to you. You have to overcome all odds, keep getting things done, and don't let down my expectations of you. If you do a good job, I will not only celebrate your achievements, but also the historians will make a big note in the future, and all future generations of imperial examination scholars will also be grateful for your kindness. ”

Xi Zhicai was suddenly full of motivation, and forced to press and excitedly assured Zhang Fan:

"No, please rest assured, my subordinates are all over the place, and they will not give up."

Zhang Fan bowed slightly. Sure enough, these scribes ate this set! But it's not surprising, after all, how many people in the world can see through the cage of fame and profit?

However, Zhang Fan was not completely reassured, because the resistance to the promotion of the imperial examination system did not come from the outside, and even from the inside, everyone may not be united. Although some people are not openly opposed by Zhang Fan's coercion, they can also disobey the yin and yang and passively slack off......

After all, the ass determines the head, as long as it is a human being, there is selfishness. Now most of the officials under Zhang Fan are children of the family, so is it possible for them to completely abandon the family and sacrifice the opportunity for future generations to become officials for Zhang Fan's great cause?

It is precisely because of internal and external troubles that the candidate for this host is particularly important. Zhang Fan also hesitated again and again before he determined the drama Zhicai.

The reason why Zhang Fan chose Xi Zhicai is also very knowledgeable - under Zhang Fan, only Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are the standard poor children. They are the only ones who work harder than their hearts to complete this work!

However, considering that Guo Jia is better at strategy and has always been not in good health, it is better to hand over this heavy work full of a lot of chores to Xi Zhicai, lest Guo Jia "die before his ambition is paid, and the hero will be full of tears"......
