Unlike Li Ming's side, Yuan Shao's side firmly did not recognize the legitimacy of the student register, believing that the scientific examination was a 'crooked and evil way', and the 'filial piety and honesty system' was the right way. It's not that he's narrow-minded, it's not that he can't see the meaning of the imperial examination, it's just that he didn't have a choice.

The existence of Yuan Valve was originally equivalent to the 'alliance leader' of the various gate valve families, and this alliance leader waited for a long time, and naturally found that the important military and political positions under his command were all controlled by the family clans.

It is conceivable that if the imperial examination is held, all those who will be admitted in the future can only be from a family, and it will be impossible for a poor family to become a leader. On the contrary, with filial piety and honesty, you may be able to harvest a few poor scholars to balance it. In terms of his actual situation, the filial piety system is far more affordable than the imperial examination system.

"Lord...... The Duke of Chu has already recognized the student registration book issued by the Han Dynasty, but the proviso condition is that if you want to receive the subsidy, you must settle in a certain place, and with the household registration and student registration book, you can receive the subsidy in the local county office. For example, more than half of them recognize the school register today, if we don't recognize it, we are afraid that in the future, the poor scholars will be lost to them.

The subordinates thought that we might as well learn from the Duke of Chu, so that we could also retain the Han Shi under our rule. Tian Feng admonished one day.

"What if you stay? There are already few scholars on our side, and in order to avoid the poor family from competing for scientific examination places with them, the family is also much more wary of the cold than before. Now, if we want to hold a scientific examination, then more than ninety percent of the results must be qualified by the children of the family. If the scientific examination is not held, even if we recognize the student register, the students who can't see hope will still go to Chang'an or Wanling to participate in the scientific examination, and the result will be no different. Yuan Shao sighed.

Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shaoyi's appearance, and naturally knew his helplessness. After a pause, he continued to admonish: "In this way, the lord can focus on the military aspect. It is easier to break through the obstacles of the family in this part, after all, it is necessary to sacrifice to fight on the battlefield, and not all children of the family will want to enter the army.

We might as well abandon the issue of governance and focus on the military. I heard that the Duke of Chu specially sent literate students into the army as 'supervisors'. We might as well also use the name of 'supervising the army' to cultivate the scholars of the poor family until they reach a certain scale, and then slowly figure it out, such as today's three points, any small mistake may cause serious consequences, and there must be no chaos inside! ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded and said, "Well, for today's plan, it is indeed the only way to go!" ”

There are also flatterers around him, but fortunately, there are also ministers like Fu Zhu and Tian Feng. This is the biggest difference between him and Yuan Shu, and the key is that he is discovering more and more the benefits of Zhengchen.

In March 198, the second children's examination, or the first official children's examination, was opened. After months of preparation, candidates from all over the country took the exam in each county. In the autumn of last year, many of the candidates who won the Xiucai were hired as teachers by the academies in various counties, and some of them were over forty years old, and they also accepted the employment of the imperial court for the sake of their families.

In fact, there are a lot of books placed in the library of the academy, and they learn while teaching, which is also a win-win outcome. After three years, they have accumulated enough knowledge, and they will be ready to go on the expedition. Of course, there will also be some people who will truly become teachers who teach and educate people, and send batches of talents to officialdom.

"The academy was created, but the rules have been set. Since you are studying in a government-run academy, you must abide by the rules here. Although there is no tuition fee for you, you still have to pay for the books, as well as the cost of accommodation and food. If you are poor at home, apply to me, and after review, you will be arranged to do work-study and earn money to support yourself. "The dean of the academy explained to the children enrolled on the first day, which was explained by the superiors, after all, the academy cannot all rely on the imperial court to support it.

At the same time, it is also hoped that these poor students who have little connections and abilities can learn a technology or contact the society through work-study, and if they are beyond their age and have not been promoted in the future, they can at least find a job to eat.

"You will study at the College for three years. Most of you have already passed the enlightenment stage, so the next thing to learn is the ability to apply it practically. Governance and arithmetic are inevitably taught, human geography, artisans, and even agriculture are elective, and you can learn or not, depending on how much time you have and how much interest. After all, the course that involves this part will also introduce some key points in terms of governance.

Chu Gong said that if an official does not know how to govern and check accounts, does not understand local customs, does not know how to resolve national contradictions, does not know how to open up the economy and improve agriculture, and only knows how to indulge in the study of scriptures, then congratulations, you are suitable to be a scholar, and you are definitely not suitable to be an official! The dean looked at the students and said slowly.

"Students follow the teachings!" The students were stunned and responded.

"There is a college exam in August this year, and if you think your level is enough, you can go directly to the exam. Even if you are admitted to Xiucai, you can still study in the academy for three years, so the academy supports capable candidates to take the Xiucai exam. After all, if you come back from the Xiucai school register, your family can be much more comfortable. The dean continued to remind.

"Yes!" The students replied.

Most of the academies in various places teach students in this way, and the real headache is the county guard, and there will definitely be no shortage of students who will take the college exam this fall, and they say that they have to prepare for it months in advance. Fortunately, the exam papers are unified across the territory, and the county guard does not need to bother to come up with questions, and of course, don't expect to be able to give special treatment to a certain candidate.

All the exam papers are directly escorted by the secret guards, and if the exam questions are leaked, then the main responsible person will be killed, and the whole team will also be punished. In the process of escorting, the secret guards are all in the spirit of twelve points, and they are even divided into two groups of light and dark to escort.

However, compared with this year's college exam, Li Ming is more concerned about the martial arts exam in August. The Huiji Military Academy has been open for five years, and the Wanling Military Academy has also been opened for two years, and every three years, a group of military elites go to study and of course recruit students from the society.

What is the purpose of three years of hard study, it is naturally this martial arts, how far you can go in the army, it depends on this time. At the same time, Li Ming also planned to improve the selection system for martial arts students, and like children, arrange for them to enter military academies, register them, and issue student registers.

By May, the first martial arts exercise had been preliminarily completed, and the subsequent step was to improve the framework.

At this time, news came from Peng Hu's side, and they found out the news of the remnants of the Nanyue Kingdom, that is, the three-tailed fox of the third heavenly king. According to the information brought back by the reclamation troops stationed in Zhuya County, about 20 days ago, a fleet of ships docked in Zhuya County in the middle of the night and left in a hurry the next day.

According to the news reported back by the soldier closest to the ship, on the bow of the fleet, there was a beautiful woman with fox ears and three tails behind her, followed by a huge eight-headed snake.

There was also news from the south side of Japan that about 22 days ago, a port was found on the side of a certain mountain near the sea, and there were traces of a large number of ships going to sea in the past two days. In fact, it was too much movement that allowed them to discover this hidden port.

The next day, news came from Yizhou that a fleet had landed in Yizhou, and after staying overnight, continued north.

"Going north...... Ryukyu or ...... Wa Kingdom? Li Ming looked at the map and couldn't help frowning.
