Chapter 235 Xiucai is an official, and the imperial examination is promoted to the second change

Big Luo Luo and Xiao Luo Luo asked for monthly passes, recommendations, subscriptions, bye, bye!

"I only have one idea for you now," Zhu Jishi pondered, "Whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty before the overthrow, there are officials who are divided into nine grades and eighteen ranks, and they are officials from the ninth grade." It is called the government governing the people, but it is actually the officials governing the officials, and the officials governing the people. Officials are also cleaned, and officials are all dirty. Therefore, what was practiced in the Ming and Qing dynasties was actually to govern the people by corrupt officials. Strategist, Mr. Lu, am I right? ”

Zuo Zongtang and Lu Peifang both nodded, they naturally knew the situation of the corrupt officials governing the people, but it was not easy to solve this problem, so they looked at Zhu Jishi, waiting to hear the high opinion of this master.

Zhu Jishi then continued: "However, there is no distinction between officials in Western countries, and the system of administrative officials and administrative officials is implemented, and the administrative officials are selected by examination, and the administrative officials are local officials, who are elected by the gentry. The day-to-day operation of the local government is the responsibility of the Clerk, and major matters are discussed and decided by a council composed of the Administrator and the gentry. ”

Zuo Zongtang frowned when he heard this, "This kind of method is new, but in this way, the imperial court will lose the right to appoint officials......

Lu Peifang also said: "If the power of such a gentry is too heavy, I am afraid that it will oppress the common people too much, and it is inevitable that the gentry will force the people to rebel." ”

Zhu Jishi nodded, isn't Europe sitting in the crater of the social revolution now? If you look at the life of the working people in Britain, France, and other countries, you can see how fierce the exploitation of the bourgeoisie that now holds power is.

"Of course I can't act like this." Zhu Jishi waved his hand and said with a smile.

However, it is also possible to refer to the West Law. So that the officials are one, and all have the imperial examination. In the future, the imperial examination of my Ming Dynasty will also set up three levels: Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi, as long as you win Xiucai, you will be qualified to serve as a small official in the local area, and be responsible for the official duties of the original officials. Those who have served for five years and have a good official reputation and can serve can be promoted, and after the middle promotion, they will be eligible to serve as a higher official, and after five years, if they have a good official reputation, they can be admitted to the Jinshi, and the Jinshi and the first can be qualified to serve as a high-ranking official above the prefect...... Of course, such a system must be implemented gradually, and cannot be achieved overnight. And only for civil servants. Not available for officers. ”

Of course, officers have their own system of promotion to the rank of officer, and in wartime, military merit is the first priority, and in peacetime, it is the comprehensive factors of evaluation, examination (results of military academies and army and navy universities), and seniority that determine how to be promoted -- of course, not military officers or military attachΓ©s. Reincarnation and relationships are both factors to consider. What Zhu Jishi wanted to establish was a bourgeois dynasty. This unspoken rule cannot be avoided.

He took a sip of tea, and then said: "And the imperial examination should focus on practicality, in addition to assessing articles and knowledge." Practical studies such as arithmetic, agriculture, engineering, business, and law are also required...... The examination was supposed to be carried out by a yamen independent of the cabinet, which could be called the University Scholars' Office, and the documents and archives for the promotion and promotion of officials at all levels were also issued and managed by the University Students' Office. He glanced at Lu Peifang, "The first chief scholar will be Mr. Lu." ”

"Xie Minggong." Lu Peifang was overjoyed, chief scholar! Sounds big......

Zhu Jishi's words are not finished, "It is also necessary to set up a supervision yuan independent of the cabinet, which is responsible for inspecting the official reputation and achievements of officials, and inspecting unqualified officials cannot participate in the imperial examination, and even be dismissed from official positions and meritorious service." In addition, the local chiefs and the chiefs of the various yamen are left to the discretion to choose and dismiss a certain proportion of subordinate officials. However, the selected official must have the corresponding imperial examination fame.

In order to cooperate with the imperial examination of the new dynasty, in the future, the Ministry of Education should also set up new academies in each county and a new university in the provincial capitals of each province on the model of Jishi Academy and Jishi University. At the same time, it is also necessary to encourage private individuals and even foreigners to open schools in China that teach Western learning, even if it is a church school. ”

"Open a church school!? Ming Gong, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, right? "The one who raised the objection was Zhong Jinshi, he was from Guanzhong, compared to a Cantonese like Lu Peifang, and Zuo Zongtang, a talented man from Sanxiang who had dismissed many Westerners, he was naturally more conservative.

"Strategist, Mr. Lu, what do you think?" Zhu Jishi put down the teacup and looked at Zuo Zongtang and Lu Peifang.

"I still have to let them open it," Zuo Zongtang stroked his beard and frowned slightly, "Let's restore our sight, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Western Catholicism is very haode, and it also supported the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty back then." Therefore, Emperor Sizong and Prince Mourning are all Catholics, and the ancestors of Ming Gong also fled to Nanyang under the protection of Catholic priests. ”

High! That's high!

Zhu Jishixin said, this Zuo Zongtang is worthy of being a great talent in Sanxiang, and today's Zhuge Liang! Such a big problem was actually solved by him in a few words -- Chinese Confucianism has always liked to offer up the ancestors, since Emperor Chongzhen is Zhu Jishi's cheap ancestors are Catholics, and Catholicism has also rescued Zhu Jishi's nominal ancestors, then after the successful restoration of the Ming Dynasty, naturally cannot be anti-Catholicism (of course, including Protestantism, in the eyes of ordinary Chinese, there is no difference between the two)...... Well, this is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty!

"But this middle school-based ......" Lu Peifang seemed to still have some doubts, "Ming Gong, this school opened by foreigners may not necessarily teach Confucianism, right?" ”

"Well, there should be a unified textbook for basic education in Confucianism, and all new schools should adopt it as a whole." Zhu Jishi pondered.

The so-called "Confucian basic education textbook" is actually a textbook for Chinese classes, but there are no articles by Mr. Lu Xun and Mao ZD, except for Zhu Jishi's own articles, which are a bunch of Confucian classics and poems and songs, and that's it.

"Ming Gong, do you still want to do martial arts?" Zhong Ziliang, who was born in Wujinshi, looked at Zhu Jishi and asked in a low voice.

"Of course not!" Zuo Zongtang waved his hand and said with a smile, "They are all martial arts warriors, and they have nothing to do with fighting. ”

"Strategist, martial arts can still be done." Zhu Jishi gave the opposite opinion, he said, "It's okay for this showman to be a copywriter, an account office, a tax collector, a case judge, or something, but you can't rely on them to maintain local security." We can't let Wen Xiucai catch the thief, right? ”

It's a fact, and it's almost a joke. It's good that a group of weak scholars don't let the thief catch it, but can they catch the thief in turn?

"I can't catch that." Zuo Zongtang sneered, he really hadn't thought it through before, "This capture does have to be done by martial arts." ”

"It's not about arresting fast, it's about the police, and now the police are in charge of law and order here in Hong Kong, and Mr. Hemming is still the chief of police in Hong Kong. In the future, we will also establish a police system in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ministry of the Interior will be in charge of the police. This police officer can be done by Wu Xiucai, but after joining the police force, Wu Juren and Wu Jinshi do not need to take the test. There will be a dedicated training and promotion system within the Force. ”

It stands to reason that this policeman should also be trained by a specialized school, but at the moment, Zhu Jishi has no time to establish a police school, so he just recruits a group of martial arts masters to deal with it first.

"In addition to being a policeman, you can also join the Jinyi pro-army if you are born in Wuju," Zhu Jishi paused for a moment, and then said, "The Jinyi pro-army of the Ming Dynasty is the Son of Heaven Guard, which was mostly filled by the sons of the ministers in the past, and can be served by the Wuju people in the future." And now there are roughly three major parts of the Jinyi pro-army, one is the Jinyi Wei Detective Factory...... This is specifically for secret investigations; the second is the Jinyi Guard, which is to ensure the safety of the royal family and can go out with the Son of Heaven; The third is the knight in brocade, who can choose to be filled by those with outstanding riding skills, and distributed to various armies as knights. All the Jinyi guards are officers, at least senior non-commissioned officers, and they can be promoted to general-level senior officers for 120 silver dollars. In addition to martial arts, generals can also be selected from the army. ”

It should be explained here that the so-called "knight" is actually a cavalryman. Here in Guangdong and Nanyang, it is not difficult to recruit infantry and sailors, as long as there is silver! However, the cavalry is not easy to find, and in this year, the Han people in Guangdong who can have a horse kung fu are really more precious than the South China tiger. Zhu Jishi didn't want to recruit samurai from Japan, so he had to fight the idea of martial arts. To test martial arts, you must be good at riding and shooting, and you must practice kung fu immediately, so you can ride a horse. However, people finally took a martial arts test, and they couldn't say anything about letting them become soldiers, so they figured out a "knight officer", and it was still hung under the signboard of Jinyiwei, which was considered the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and it was possible to fool some people.
