On October 25, the 52nd year of the Great Qin calendar, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Great Qin, officially issued an edict to the world in front of the gate of Qishan Academy that had just been completed in Yongcheng, abolishing the law of recommending people to enter the official system now implemented in Great Qin, and taking the imperial examination. And five years later, the imperial examination will be held in Daqin, or the first time in the history of the land of Shenzhou, that all the officials of Daqin will be selected from the imperial examination according to their results.
An hour after Emperor Hu Hai of the Second Great Qin Dynasty in Yongcheng issued this simple edict, the six ministries of the three provinces of Great Qin jointly signed the text of all counties in the world, and there was nothing else on this official document jointly signed by the six ministries of the three provinces and six ministries, and some were just detailed explanations of the terms and rules of the Great Qin Imperial Examination.
These explanations include the age limit of the imperial examination, the restriction of virtue, the rules and rewards of the preliminary examination, the re-examination, the final examination, the principle of conferring officials, the method of issuing the questions of the imperial examination, and a series of things that involve all aspects.
was able to make such a basic flaw in the imperial examination rules and regulations in just over 20 days, and His Majesty Hu Hai, the second emperor of Great Qin, still made great contributions.
Immediately after this line, the Great Qin Rite Department and the Ministry of Officials were writing the Great Qin counties almost at the same time.
The Ministry of Rites has detailed nine types of required reading lesson plans compiled by the Royal Academy. The nine kinds of lesson plans continue the Zhou system, the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, but in addition to these six arts, new articles on virtue, loyalty, and historical records have been added.
History is called Chapter 9!
In addition to the nine lesson plans for the imperial examinations, the Ministry of Rites also issued the "Qin Language Enlightenment" for children's enlightenment, that is, for primary education. This "Qin Language Enlightenment" was compiled by Kong Kun and the academy members of the Imperial Academy for nearly ten months.
At the same time, the Ministry of Rites also stipulates the age at which children in Daqin should be given primary education, six to ten years old. After the age of 10, until children and adults, they will study the nine chapters.
The practice of the Nine Chapters lesson plan began at the age of ten and continued until the coming-of-age ceremony was held, which meant that they could officially register with the Ministry of Rites of each county to participate in the imperial examination held in Daqin, and then the officials in charge of education of the county government department would directly file with the Ministry of Rites, receive a certificate of identity, and go to Xianyang to participate in the imperial examination.
The Ministry of Rites clearly stipulates that all the test questions of the Great Qin Imperial Examination will be based on the knowledge taught in the nine chapters. That is to say. If you want to become an official, then you must familiarize yourself with these nine lesson plans compiled by the Royal Academy in order to have a chance to leap into the dragon gate.
The Ministry of Officials issued a formal notice to all officials in the world. Starting from October 25 of the second year of the second year, the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Ministry of Officials, and the Zongzheng Mansion will conduct a small examination every three years and a major examination every five years.
It's just that this "examination" is not an examination for the imperial examination, but an examination for the officials' ability to govern and the reputation of the people.
This examination course involves all officials from the central government to the local government, up to the chief officials, scholars, and squires of the six departments of the three provinces. Down to the long of the village pavilion that does not enter the product. All of them are within the scope of this exam.
That's not all!
On October 28, the 52nd year of the Great Qin calendar, the Imperial Academy of Great Qin, as well as the branches of the Academy and the Imperial Military Academy of Great Qin, explained to the scholars of the world in the form of a text the ways and methods of recruiting students of the Royal Academy and each branch.
The Royal Academy and the Royal Military Academy are two separate existences. The Royal Academy mainly corresponds to students who are interested in becoming officials, while the Royal Military Academy mainly recruits students who want to enlist in the army.
Two years later, the Royal Academy began to accept students from all counties, and of course not everyone could enter the Royal Academy. I studied in the county school hall for three years. Teenagers over the age of thirteen are subjected to examinations led by the Royal Academy, and those who pass the selection are admitted to the Royal Academy for further study.
Of course, entering the Royal Academy does not mean that you will be done once and for all, and those who fail to pass the exam will return to the county schools once and for all. Of course, if you have already performed a coming-of-age ceremony, it is not impossible to enter the Royal Academy. The prerequisite is to be able to pass the examination held by the Royal Academy for adult males. After entering the Royal Academy. It is also a biennial exam. Where is not qualified, where to go back and forth.
Of course, whether it is a student of the Royal Academy or a student of the county school, you can sign up for the imperial examination, as long as you are an adult. It's just that the Great Qin Royal Academy and the county schools. Whether it is the pattern or the teaching, there are naturally differences.
The Royal Military Academy mainly provides talents for the Great Qin military, including infantry generals, cavalry generals, staff officers and naval generals.
In Hu Hai's vision, the future generals of Great Qin should not only be strong in martial arts, but also literate and able to understand strategy. And not just generals who can charge into battle.
That's what the Royal Military Academy really needs to achieve.
After all, wars often involve tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of large army formations, and individual bravery cannot change the outcome of a war, but the need for strategy for the commander of the army is greater.
As for the Mohist-led engineering colleges, the Taoist-led philosophical colleges, the medical schools-led medical schools, and the miscellaneous schools dominated by the Fangshi miscellaneous schools, the main correspondence is the students who are interested in these things.
Students who enter these academies are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, but each branch has given conditions that will make everyone happy. That is, as long as there is a meritorious achievement, the emperor will confer the rank equivalent to that of an official, and if the merit is large enough, it may even be conferred.
After reforming the official system and abolishing the use of titles as high and low, it is foreseeable that there will be fewer and fewer people who can have titles in Great Qin in the future. Indeed, because Hu Hai was considering abolishing the system of hereditary succession of the Great Qin titles.
Awarded to all walks of life equivalent to the rank of the gentry, enjoy the imperial court. Hu Hai's main purpose in doing this was naturally to prevent all scholars from squeezing the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination, and regard the imperial examination as the only way to change their background.
What's more, only with the comprehensive development of science and engineering, chemistry, literature, philosophy, and other disciplines, can a nation be strong and an empire remain prosperous.
……
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Thousands of waves are not enough, at least 10,000 waves, hundreds of millions of heavy waves!
Through the channel of the Longwei Mansion, in just ten days, the inscriptions about the imperial court awarding officials and the imperial examination system, as well as the royal academy and the royal military academy, spread throughout Daqin. Including the three counties of Nanyue, central Fujian, eastern Liaodong and western Liaoning.
When the proclamation document stamped with the emperor's seal appeared in the counties, countless scholars from poor backgrounds wailed and cried, they were crying with excitement, and they no longer had to sell into the family for an official position.
Countless people have run for it to tell each other, and they, or their descendants, finally have the opportunity to change the fate of their family, and they will no longer be the head of the Qianqian forever.
