Chapter 224: Life is going to be difficult

Wu Yuanqing lived at home all day long in Xiangcheng, Ziyu was reluctant to come out in the gentle township. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Outside, they are clamoring to catch locusts, save disasters, and by the way, they also fight between monarchs and ministers, and form an alliance between colleagues, making a mix or something, so it's not lively.

Then Li Shimin split out the second axe of the family.

"What, Imperial Examinations"

The ministers stared wide-eyed, some didn't know what the imperial examination was, such as Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chi Gong and others, and some knew about the imperial examination, but didn't know what the emperor meant.

"The imperial examination is a way to select talents, as the name suggests, it is a system that allows them to enter the court as officials by examining the literary talents, economic and historical knowledge of the people who take the examination," Li Shimin said solemnly.

Many of the ministers have participated in the Sui Dynasty examination, such as Zhongshu Ling Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu Shilang Wen Yanbo, Dali Temple Shaoqing Sun Fujia, Sun Fujia is still the first champion in history. And even if they haven't taken the exam, many civil servants know something about it.

Like Fang Xuanling, everyone is a scholar who passed the Jinshi in the Sui Dynasty when he was eighteen years old, and he doesn't know too much about the imperial examination.

With Li Shimin's explanation, Fang Xuanling found that the imperial examination that the emperor wanted to implement seemed to be much more complicated than that of Emperor Yang of Sui in the Sui Dynasty, but if it could really be implemented, the benefits would be many.

After Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, he abolished the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and in the first month of the third year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui issued an edict to promote "virtuous and virtuous". In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, he ordered the Beijing officials to be more than five grades, the chief manager, the assassin history, and the two branches of "Zhixing Xiu" and "Qingping Ganji".

In April of the third year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the edict decreed that civil and military officials who have a ministry can be "filial piety and knowledge", "virtuous and generous", "righteous can be called", "clean performance" and other 10 imperial examination people. Jinshi two subjects, and with "trial strategy" to take the scholar.

The term jinshi first appeared in the "Book of Rites and the Imperial System", and its original meaning was to be able to enter and receive the meaning of the lord. At that time, the main test was the time policy, which was called the trial policy.

During the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination was still very primitive and chaotic, and it had to be specially recommended by the minister or the governor of the prefecture and county.

If you don't have the recommendation of an official, you will be able to endure no matter how big you are, and you will not be eligible to take the exam.

And Li Shimin directly prepared to let students all over the world 'self-advance', that is, they could sign up for it themselves. Second, 'everything is based on Cheng Wen', and the examination and the first or the dethroned must pass a strict examination before it can be decided. Third, with Jinshi as the main subject, the imperial court will arrange examinations regularly, and students and scholars will take the examination regularly.

And these three points are also the most fundamental differences between the mature imperial examination system and the early primitive chaotic imperial examination.

According to the trend of normal history, there are more than 50 kinds of permanent subjects in the Tang Dynasty, such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Ming Law, Ming Zi, and Ming Calculation. Among them, the Ming Law, Ming Calculation, Ming Characters and other subjects are not taken seriously, and Xiucai is a subject, which is very demanding in the early Tang Dynasty, and later gradually abolished. Therefore, the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi became the main subjects of the Tang Dynasty, Jinshi examined current policies and poems, articles, and Ming Jing examined current policies and scriptures; The former is difficult, the latter is easy.

But in this time and space, Wu Yuanqing crossed over without reason, and when Li Shimin didn't have the idea of the imperial examination, he took the lead in instilling the concept of the imperial examination to him, and Wu Yuanqing came from later generations, so he naturally knew that this knowledge was not high or low, and any subject could be of great use.

Naturally, it will not be said that only the Ming Sutra and the Jinshi are two subjects. Not only that, but also instilled in the emperor a concept that talents like Ming Fake had extraordinary significance for the construction of the law in the Tang Dynasty.

Not only can the laws of Datang be more perfect, but also the existence of these people who are well aware of the provisions of the law in the government, the trial of punishment cases is more fair and just, and the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful cases can be greatly reduced.

In this way, the credibility of the Tang Dynasty government in the hearts of the people is also higher, and it can help the court unite people's hearts, which is greatly conducive to the emperor's rule.

The Ming arithmetic course basically belongs to the natural sciences, and the "Nine Chapters of Law", "Zhang Qiujian", "Xiahouyang", "Zhou Ji", and "Five Classics of Calculation" each have one each, and six out of ten are passed; Try "Remember" and "Three Equal Numbers", and nine out of ten are passed. I also tried seven articles of "Fixation", three articles of "Jigu", and six of the ten passes were passed.

In short, it's something related to mathematics, which is considered arithmetic.

In later generations, there is a saying that you are not afraid to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry all over the world, which shows the importance of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

But it's a pity that in addition to the fact that arithmetic is one of the six arts at the very beginning, it has been valued to a certain extent since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when Dong Zhongshu deposed the Confucianism of a hundred schools, and the subject of mathematics seems to have not been very valued in ancient times.

But Wu Yuanqing knows the importance of mathematics, and it can even be regarded as the most important of all disciplines.

Ancient Greek scholars regarded it as the starting point of philosophy, "the foundation of learning".

It is also true that arithmetic and mathematics are inseparable from almost everything in human life.

Wu Yuanqing used a large number of words to explain the importance of mathematics to Li Shimin, and even used himself as an example to demonstrate many things to Li Shimin, such as the calculation of money and grain in the national treasury, or the geometry of logistics grain and grass needed when the army was fighting, what tools to use, how long it would take to normalize, how much loss would be in the middle, and then how much grain and grass should be prepared on the basis of the loss.

Or how to calculate another object by measuring the length of the shadow of the human body, the height of the head, such as the height of the main hall and other places where various calculations can be used.

And Li Shimin didn't care too much about these examples, which Li Shimin understood but didn't understand, because he felt that the officials of the court and the central government should deal with the normal account books, and the income and expenditure were enough, and he did not need special special personnel.

Wu Yuanqing had no choice but to tell him that as long as he learned arithmetic well, he might be able to make something that flew into the sky in the future, and then Li Shimin was fooled, and immediately listed Ming arithmetic as the top priority, mentioning the same important status as Jinshike.

Li Shimin summarized Wu Yuanqing's nonsense, and then he had a long and coherent speech in the court.

When the ministers were still wondering where the emperor came from, and when he had come up with such a system without consulting anyone after careful consideration, Li Shimin once again made a big move.

He wants to expand the scale of the academy on the existing basis, expand the school building, and increase the number of students.

Not only that, but it is also necessary to set up basic schools in various prefectures and counties, recruit students, and cultivate and select talents from among the poor among the people.

Nima, this is not going to leave a way for the family to live at all.

Some of the ministers present have nothing to do with the family, and even if they don't, this system is also related to the future of their children and grandchildren.

Without this system, the children and grandchildren of these officials and nobles can rely on their father's Yu Yin to earn an official and a half-job, but after this system, although there is still an opportunity for shadow compensation, but after all, with strong competition from the poor family, the opportunity for shadow compensation will be greatly reduced.

What's the matter, why is the emperor so lacking in virtue?
