After three rounds of drinking, Li Shimin asked Wang Haoran: "Haoran, I have always felt that talents are rare, but in your place, it seems to be a casual one, I don't know what the reason is, or you have a unique eye, you can see at a glance whether others have talent?" ”

"Your Majesty, where is the discernment of the minister, in fact, there is no shortage of talents in Datang, but the threshold here is low, and those talents who have talent but have no way to serve the country have gathered here. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Otherwise! I have a wide range of scientific examinations, and there are many kinds involved, whether rich or poor, as long as they are talented, they can participate, how can there be a few people who can be called geniuses? ”

"Your Majesty, forgive my brother for being blunt, Ma Zhongshu is very knowledgeable, but what he can take is not the road of scientific research, if it is not for the coincidence to help Chang Zhonglang ghostwrite, I am afraid that he will not even have the opportunity to appear in front of His Majesty." Wang Haoran didn't speak thoroughly, although the current scientific examination did not exclude ordinary people, the candidates used were basically children with backgrounds, and they had already been ranked before the exam. And how outstanding do the children of ordinary people have to be to be able to enter the sight of the Tang Emperor? It is impossible for Li Shimin not to be aware of these, but he still asks this, it seems that he wants Wang Haoran to sing blackface......

Ma Zhoushen on the side thought so, thinking that back then, although he was full of wealth, he had nowhere to display his talents, and he was ridiculed everywhere, but now he still has a lot of emotion when he thinks about it.

"Now that the territory of Datang is vast, the required talents are even more stretched, this time Gaochang came to surrender, but I can't transfer enough manpower to Gaochang, there is a shortage of talents, do you Aiqing have a way to deal with it?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, Fang Haoran said that his low threshold made all talents gather to him, so let's just lower the threshold of the scientific expedition a little." It was Cheng Yanjin who spoke.

Everyone present looked at Cheng Yanjin in surprise, but they didn't expect these two stunned people to have ideas.

"What are you doing looking at me like that? Am I wrong? If you look at those scientific examination papers, they are all the same, what is the use of that? If you want to govern the country, you just need to be flexible, and those who can write a few poems will definitely have the talent to govern the country? If you want to be a general, you have good kung fu and know tactics, but a literati who can only write a good hand can do it? Therefore, there should not be such difficult questions in the scientific examination, as long as you can read and write. "It's rare for Cheng Yanjin to talk about governing the country for a long time.

After listening to Cheng Biting Jin's theory, everyone was dumbfounded, and they were engaged for a long time, it turned out that the lowering of the threshold that Cheng Biting Jin said only meant reducing the difficulty of the exam questions! Wang Haoran was also speechless for a while, this Cheng Er was sent by God to be funny, right?

Li Shimin was also amused, but after Cheng Biting Jin, Li Shimin could logically turn the topic to the scientific examination, and said: "What Cheng Aiqing said also has some truth, I don't know if you have any opinions on Aiqing's scientific examination?" ”

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Shimin is going to rectify the rhythm of the scientific examination! I'm waiting for someone to bring it up. Ma Zhou raised his hands in favor of rectifying the scientific examination system, after all, he had suffered from this, so he was not afraid to be this early bird, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that what Lu Guogong said is very reasonable, and he has a specialization in the art industry, and talents in many aspects do not need to be very good literary talents, and for those positions, the requirements for knowledge and status can also be reduced. ”

"Or Ma Zhou, you have insight!" Cheng Yanjin boasted, not knowing that he had been pulled by Ma Zhou to cushion his back.

Ma Zhou smiled awkwardly, feeling that he was too evil for such a simple person, but there was no way, although Ma Zhou was appreciated by Li Shimin, his current status was not high, and he was obviously not enough in front of those scholars, how could he not pull Lu Guogong over?

"Well, what do other Aiqing have to say?"

The rest of the ministers expressed their positions one after another, to Wang Haoran's surprise, none of the ministers expressed opposition, if the scientific expedition is reformed, it can be said that it directly infringes on the interests of the scholars, and logically speaking, they should rise up to resist. But it's not surprising when you think about it, who would put favoritism on the table? Just like some officials in later generations, who were full of serving the people in the morning, were double-opened in the afternoon, so although the rectification of scientific research has been decided, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and it remains to be seen how fair it will be.

"Ma Aiqing, after you go back, you will draft a charter for the scientific examination and rectification, and you must not miss a talent!" Li Shimin expressed his determination to make drastic changes to the rectification of scientific examinations.

"Yes!" Ma Zhou was overjoyed in his heart, so it seemed that even if he didn't pull the journey and bite the gold pad, he would have His Majesty as a strong backing, and the matter of scientific research and rectification would be much smaller.

"The scientific examination and rectification is a long-term plan, and the stakes are very important, and it must not be sloppy, and it can only be implemented after careful consideration. However, now that there is a shortage of talents, I decided to choose a day to open an Enke, and all my people in the Tang Dynasty, regardless of their status, regardless of their degree, but anyone who has insight into national affairs, can participate. ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't screen it, people with and without talent will want to try their luck, and then I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower to review it alone." A minister said.

"Well, that's a problem, do you have a solution?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, it is better for the local officials to ensure that those who are truly talented will participate, so that the opportunists can be excluded." The minister had just proposed.

"Haoran, what do you think?" Li Shimin suddenly asked Wang Haoran, where there is a choice, it is easy to engage in favoritism and fraud, but this time he is determined to find talents, and he can't let others take advantage of loopholes.

Wang Haoran didn't ask a sudden question with a stunned face, he rushed back from Zhongcheng all the way, but the result was that he didn't get any benefits at all, okay, he accepted his fate, then it's okay to eat and drink by himself, right? But Li Shimin still doesn't make people feel at ease, digging a pit for people to jump and then digging a pit for people to jump, scientific research is a major matter of the country, which Wang Haoran can interfere with? Wang Haoran wanted to be angry and say that the method of screening local officials was feasible, but if this was the case, the already imperfect imperial examination system would be difficult to reform in the future. You must know that the current imperial examination is not the mainstream way to select officials, and the meaning expressed by Li Shimin today is obviously to increase the number of officials selected by the imperial examination, and the fairness of the imperial examination system greatly affects the future of the Tang Dynasty......

"Your Majesty, my brother remembers that Ma Zhongshu was ridiculed by local officials before and said that he was not an official, if Ma Zhongshu only waited for the local officials to protect him, Your Majesty was afraid that he would miss such a great talent." Wang Haoran thought for a moment before replying, Ma Zhou is now very popular in front of Li Shimin, Li Shimin loves it so much that he almost wants to play with broken sleeves, and he said before that he would miss Ma Zhou if he didn't see him for a day...... Such a person could not be better at doing things.

"That's right, so do you have a way to filter it?" Li Shimin asked with a smile, he liked to find Wang Haoran to sing with him more and more, because Wang Haoran can always guide things in the direction he wants, except for Li Tai's matter......

"Or, when screening, individuals will voluntarily submit, but those who have mediocre answers will be punished for the three boards?" Wang Haoran laughed.

"Nonsense!" Wei Yan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, he liked to raise the bar with Wang Haoran, but he felt that what Wang Haoran said before was reasonable, so he didn't say anything, and now he can be regarded as having caught the reason, so he attacked decisively.
