Chapter 155: The reaction of the imperial examination

Since Liu Wei announced that the imperial examination would be held, Cai Yong, Ding Guan himself, Xun Yu, Xun Yu and others began to prepare. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On this day, Luoyang City, as well as the surrounding Hedong, Henan, Hanoi and other places, have posted the emperor's list.

Out of the commotion, the people gathered around.

On the side, the little officials arranged in advance by Cai Yong and others explained to the people.

"Folks, pay attention, this is great news, you must be serious!" A small official who can speak well.

"Don't sell it, let's talk about it!"

"What good news is this!"

Some people were illiterate, so they were in a hurry and urged one after another.

"Since the Dong throne moved west to Chang'an, there is a serious shortage of officials in the counties around Luoyang, as well as in the imperial court, so His Majesty has decided to recruit officials to fill the vacancies in various official positions!" The clerk explained.

"Recruiting officers? What does it have to do with us, we poor people, we just hope that the officials can exploit us as little as possible! ”

"Those official positions, aren't they for the children of the family? Do you still need to post the emperor list to tell us? ”

The onlookers were bored.

"This time is different from the usual filial piety, Your Majesty decided to select talents by examination! As long as you have talent, not only the children of the family, but also the children of the poor family can also be officials! The little official hurriedly explained.

"What's so good?"

"My son studied hard in the cold window, and I wanted to get ahead one day, but unfortunately I have been suffering from no one to recommend me, and now I can get an official position as long as I take the exam?"

Hearing this, some people were immediately overjoyed.

"Not everyone can participate in the imperial examination, first of all, someone has to recommend, and each household has a recommended place, and only those who reach more than ten recommended households have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination!"

"The people you recommend, only then will be secondary, and the court will assess their talents, and the most important thing is virtue, which must be benevolent and filial! Don't be sloppy, Your Majesty can say, where is the talent, where will you be an official in the future, if the person you recommend is a person of bad character, then it will harm yourself! ”

The small officials said the regulations of the imperial examination one by one, the first to participate in the imperial examination, there must be more than ten people to recommend, here is a limit to the number of places, and the other recommended people, regardless of the talent, virtue is the most important.

Acting on meritocracy has been changed to virtue is a move. The people who have passed the recommendation, after the examination of the imperial court, select talented people, and the people who have been screened out layer by layer must be people with both morality and learning.

And also told the people, if the person you recommend is an official, you should be a local parent official, you can't be sloppy, if you choose a huge greed, but you will harm yourself.

At this time, the people were quite simple, not as intrigued as the people of later generations, and they were mainly agricultural, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and some could eat.

And before, it has always been the family as an official, and the family's annexation of land is serious, so it is naturally exploitative. Now that the people are given the opportunity, the people will naturally be extremely cautious.

After the official explained, the people talked about it.

"Lao Zhang, I think your child is okay, not to mention smart, filial piety, every time you see me, you will call me uncle, I will recommend your child!"

"Yes, yes, the child of the old Zhang family is really good, and I recommend him too!"

"Last time, that kid helped me work together, if he becomes an official, he will be a good official!"

Next to the emperor's list, some people shouted.

The people called Lao Zhang were full of joy.

There was also a man who looked around, looking at the crowd with a begging look in his eyes.

"Lao Wang, don't look at me, you live next door to me, I understand that kid in your house, although I have read books, but I don't do my job, when I am busy with farming, I still go to play with fox friends and dog friends!"

"Last time, I saw him scolding his mother, how can such an unfilial person take the imperial examination?"

"Yes, yes, I saw him gambling last time, where did he get the money, your family is so poor, it must have been stolen!"

"How can such a person be a parent official?"

The people on the side condemned Lao Wang's son one after another.

"My son, studying hard in the cold window, isn't it just to get ahead? Please help! If my son becomes an official, he will repay you! Lao Wang said with a bitter face.

The people were quite moved.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the little official on the side said with a blank face: "Ahem, you have to think clearly, after becoming an official, you will be your parents and officials, and in the future, he will govern the place, and if you choose it, if it is evil, you will have to eat the bitter fruits you have planted!" Hugh wants to make small profits in front of him, regardless of the good days ahead! ”

"Yes, yes, that kid of your family will definitely not be able to participate in the imperial examination, and he will definitely harm us in the future!"

"Bah, you're not a good thing, and you want to tempt us? It's a matter of regretting living next door to you! ”

The people condemned Lao Wang, and Lao Wang was scolded by the people and fled with his tail between his legs.

Seeing this, the little official on the side nodded with satisfaction and said: "You can discuss the recommended personnel by yourself, and after you are done, you will go to the government to register and register, and the government will notify you to participate in the imperial examination!" ”

Luoyang and even the surrounding counties in Hedong have posted the emperor's list, and this kind of scene is just one place.

Liu Wei also thought about recommending each other among the people, causing the people with corrupt morals to fish in the water, so he specially told the officials who explained to Chen Qing to the people, and even asked Wei Xiaokuan to use the power of Jinyiwei to act among the people.

And the old king before was a member of the Jinyi Guard, and he just played a role among the people.

But although this is hard, it also makes the people deeply realize how much power they have.

If the recommended talent is morally corrupt, he can benefit at first, but at that time, after he becomes an official, doesn't he come to harm us?

Liu Wei worked hard to ensure the quality of Han officials.

It doesn't matter if you are not talented, as long as you are honest enough, serious enough, do not exploit the people, and follow the decrees issued by the imperial court, even if you can't make one party rich, the people's lives are not too bad. At least not because of the exploitation of officials, they will not be unable to live.

After the emperor list was posted, it had a great impact in various places, and all of a sudden, people from all over the country went to the government to recommend talents, and for a while, the response was great.

Liu Wei, who received news from all over the world, was quite satisfied, and according to the current form, everything was developing in a good place.

After processing the official documents, Liu Wei stretched his waist and said: "Now I kneel down and gather military generals, but the civil officials are a little insufficient, and now Xinde Hedong, Hanoi and other places are rich lands, and if they are well governed, they are my granary!" ”

"And under my command, there are only Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji, Xun Yu and others who are good at politics, some of them are not enough, it seems that they have to summon a civil official to govern the place!"

"System, summon a civil official to me, and I will see if the talents of the future generations can play with the talents of the Three Kingdoms, and whether they can create sparks!" Liu Wei immediately ordered to the system. (To be continued.) )
