Chapter 417: The Great Reform of the Imperial Examination
Li Chen is going to take a real move against the department this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoLast year, he was still in Taoguang. Yuan Zhen, as usual. This year's imperial examination is the first after Li Chen's ascension to the throne in the true sense of the word. But it is destined to shock the world. Now outsiders don't know, after the announcement, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor's three fires, this one is the biggest.
Li Chen followed the example of the civil service examination of later generations and divided the examination into several places. The primary, intermediate and higher levels have also expanded the scope to include all officials and officials in the Tang Dynasty.
In the future, all officials should have to take the exam. All, regardless of the rank of officer, must be examined. The primary examination corresponds to the county level, the middle level corresponds to the provincial level, and the higher level is directly vacant in several departments of the imperial court.
The primary examination is taken in several sections. Above the middle level is in Luoyang, and the high level is in Chang'an. will choose this way, the main thing is to reduce the burden, Luoyang has convenient transportation, and Chang'an is worse.
Then, no matter what the exam is, in order to ensure fairness. In addition to strict examination room norms, it is forbidden to steal and entrain, and all drawbacks are eliminated.
In Li Chen's view, don't say that there are any drawbacks in China's examination system, say that you read dead books, and say what you say is rigid. But you just don't have a better, fairer way to select, that's the best, the fairest. This is a fair approach that surpasses hundreds of worlds for nearly a thousand years.
It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away. Whether it is a talent or a mediocre talent, the test is enough. If you can't bear the pressure, that's waste. In the future joint examination, what to relieve pressure on children, what to diversify, are not hired to reform, out of society, what do you have to fight with others?
JUPAS, you still have the support of your family, that is, you just want to study and take exams. If you can't hold it like this, how will you compete with others in the future?
However, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, to be honest, was too fucked, although it had a certain degree of fairness, but it was still too bad, for example, fraud was rampant.
Although there was a practice of searching clothes in the Tang Dynasty, because the exams were held day and night when the weather was quite cold, it was allowed to bring tableware, charcoal, candles, etc. into the venue, so the search was difficult to be strict.
In addition, because there is no relationship with the image, the phenomenon of gunmen is also very common, such as the famous poet Wen Tingyun is a big gunman, who often "gives birth to a fake hand for his neighbor" in exams.
In addition, it is too common to work hard to sensationalize and gain a good reputation, without any real talent, or simply report the thigh, hug the right one, and get on. Therefore, Li Chen Lao said that the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was a wrestling field for all parties, and someone often said that whoever gets a good article will take it. Regardless of whether someone really thinks he is good, or has received benefits at all, as long as this person has status or fame.
All of these were changed by Li Chen. Obfuscation, copying, daytime exams, and everything brought into the examination room must be strictly searched.
As for the situation of finding the gunman, Li Chen plans to imitate the future generations, and everyone must have a headshot. Of course, there are no such eras, but you can make everyone draw a sketch, that is, the kind of sketch that details your facial features and features.
This sketch will accompany you even for the rest of your life. As long as you pass the test, it will become your file. Draw a sign of registration, and it will become your mark, and it will accompany all your exams.
However, it is still a question whether this plan can be successful, who will draw sketches at present? In addition to those children taught by Li Chen, how many people know what sketching is, and it is difficult to do it temporarily, so after this method was opposed by the ministers, it was temporarily shelved.
However, the sketch has been shelved, but this time it has been shelved, Li Chen has stepped up the training of sketch talents, and he will not relax the inspector like this. He switched to the method of preventing fraud in scientific research in later generations, and several scholars protected each other. Someone has to vouch for you, you are yourself. If it is found out later, the fraudster will not be disqualified, and will be sentenced directly.
Sentenced, or heavy. Li Chen asked the prime minister to draft an ordinance, which will be strictly banned, not only those who have to have a guarantor for the exam, but also those who have to be tested for the exam, there are also guarantors, if they are found to be assisting in entrainment, or deliberately releasing water, they will even be imprisoned. This mutual insurance regulation makes opponents secretly complain, which is also too strict. I wanted to loosen the tie, but I didn't expect it to just increase the precautions.
In addition, no matter how strict the regulations are, no supervision is fake. Therefore, in order to prevent fraud, no matter where you get the exam, there will be people from other places and non-locals to assist in handling it, so that the localities will not be all colluded together.
'Saint, isn't this a strict rule?' Bai Minzhong had to come forward in response, "If it continues to be implemented in this way, it will be difficult, the place will not adapt, and there will be many mistakes." ’
'It's okay, isn't this going to be a trial next year?' Li Chen said lightly. 'Blur name, copying, mutual insurance, person sketching, try it next year. ’
'Let's draw up the ordinance first. Fraud is strictly prevented. In addition, Hallym is also ready. If you are admitted to the Jinshi, you don't need to review it, and you will study for a year in the Hanlin Academy. Familiar with government affairs, up to two years, if you are not familiar with it, you can't learn, you don't need to be an official. ’
This was the system of the Song Dynasty, and all Jinshi had to enter the Hanlin Academy for training. This system has even continued into modern times, and all civil servants in Taiwan who pass the examination must be trained. This is also equivalent to a kind of review, not to mention that in this era of rampant fraud, in modern times, Li Chen remembers that someone was eliminated.
'Sage, this post?' Wei Mo asked, "Posts?" Li Xiang, you go on. In terms of posts, departments should anticipate vacancies, based on vacancies. The primary examination will be held every year, two years for the middle school, and three years for the higher level, so the primary examination can be missed every year, and the other two exams need to be considered in advance. ’
In addition, the qualifications for the examination can be taken by any of the above. You can get the highest to the middle level. For those who are higher or higher, they must pass the primary and secondary examinations and hold official positions before they can take the examination. ’
There are good and bad ways to do this, and the good thing is that it gives everyone a chance to rise and can also identify some talented people. Now that you have experience, you can get started working quickly, and you can have less relevant training. The disadvantage is that it is easy to single out a bunch of bureaucrats, and the government affairs are skilled, but it is easy to ********, and it is difficult to reform the bad government. Even, some local bad customs were brought into the imperial court.
'What, is it okay to change that?' The post was announced, and Li Deyu continued to announce, which caused a great shock. Because the content of the exam will also be greatly changed. 'What is the choice, right or wrong, what is this?' ’
In order to prevent the paper from leaking anything, the most important thing is to dispel this teacher system. This is often the root cause of the struggle of the Chinese party in successive dynasties, and the examiner obtains students, even if they are deputy examiners, all of them are counted in the name of the examiner.
Li Chen has no historically effective way to improve this problem. The imperial examination is a scholar, and the people who are talented may not be able to handle official affairs well, so the Song Dynasty is to let them study in the Hanlin Academy. Anti-fraud, the past generations have gradually had tricks, only this one.
Li Deyu also tried to change his ways, but he canceled the Qujiang banquet, which is probably what led to him being considered to be against the imperial examination, but in fact he wanted to avoid party strife.
This division, Li Chen does not change his words, accompanied by the Chinese, it will take another thousand years. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Manchu Qing Dynasty abolished the imperial examination, and New China used the civil service examination to select talents, which completely disappeared.
In this case, Li Chen simply did it. The previous way of examiners judging the quality of essays and poems has been cancelled, and multiple choice questions and right or false questions are all used. Add some arguments, and the number of words should not exceed 500 words.
In this way, the exam is not only fast, but also can completely eliminate the teacher system. Whether you can be taken or not is no longer a matter of the main exam, everything has a standard. No matter what is examined, there are some unified basic exam questions across the country, and the questions will be dispatched by many states and counties, just like the Joint Proposition Center of the Taiwan Federation of Later Generations.
A bunch of teachers were shortlisted, and during the question, outsiders were not allowed to contact them, and there were very strict anti-fraud measures. Each person will produce a set of papers, and then another group of people will draw questions from these papers to make up an exam paper.
Similarly, Li Chen intends to do the same. At that time, a batch of exam papers will be printed and brought to the place by the invigilator. Of course, in order to prevent fraud, all exam questions will be drawn up by Chang'an. This is almost absolutely fair for local primary exams.
(This should be able to eliminate the seat master system.) When Li Deyu explained to several other people what is the choice and what is the right and wrong question, Li Chen thought a little excitedly, this way, I hope to really let the master disappear from the land of China.
Foreigners also take exams, so why haven't I heard that they have any teacher system. Chinese nature like to huddle? Whatever, even if it is, you have to change it for me. Let's test for a while and see, it's no longer relying on people to get talents, there is a fair system to take materials, will this division still be there?
Compared with this astonishing change, the next measures are more prosaic, for example, in order to avoid the township party, everyone is not allowed to be officials on the spot, even if it is a junior civil servant, it must also be in a different place.
'Sage, what should the shadow officer do?' At this time, Bai Minzhong asked, there is a problem with the scientific examination, and if it needs to be changed, is there no problem with this shadow official, "Good question, in the future, there will be strict regulations on this shadow official system." What kind of official position can shade a few people, and if you have made great contributions to the country, you can shade a few people. ’
'All the officials will no longer be directly appointed, and all of them will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy to study, and if they do not get good grades, they will also be promoted. Bai Minzhong didn't ask, Li Chen would also change the official system, basically this was the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Although this system has not been entangled in China for so long, it has also affected for hundreds of years, not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in the Song Dynasty. There are too many redundant officials and too indiscriminate, which is not only a problem in the Song Dynasty, but also in the Tang Dynasty.
Now, is there any problem with anyone? Li Chen looked around at everyone, "No problem, it's going to be implemented." (To be continued.) )
