After the arrest of the candidates who had purchased the test questions, the public examination began three days later. The so-called public examination, that is, the name given by Jingwen to this so-called civil service examination, is the same as that of later generations. And this is also to give those candidates who have not been admitted to the imperial examination a chance to enter the official career, but the road is a little more tortuous. But in this way, they still flock to it, because this is also an opportunity to become officials! And many of these people are small officials who want to keep their jobs, and some are still students who want to work in the government. Even, Jingwen even heard that some students from the four disciplines had come. The four schools were originally a place for students from poor families to study, but they thought that it was more difficult to pass the imperial examination, and it was almost impossible. So they all wanted to take this shortcut, so they all came to apply.

"It seems that it will be difficult to cancel this civil service exam in the future!" Jingwen said.

Jingwen saw this situation, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart. At that time, I was just tempted, and I wanted to use this so-called civil service exam to expel those incompetent officials, improve the governance of grassroots officials, and even have the idea of promoting science knowledge. But now more and more people are tied up by this civil service exam because they are all vested interests. This is all to blame for the imperial examination, the admission rate of the imperial examination is too low, so many people who think that the imperial examination is hopeless will come to apply for this so-called petty civil servant, hoping to have the opportunity to become an official in the future. And they are all vested interests in this civil service examination, and if the emperor and other officials in the court want to cancel it at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult. There are too many vested interests, and this will definitely be an obstacle. Although it seems that these poor students and many small officials are not very strong, once they work together, I am afraid that the emperor will not dare to provoke them. In the future, the policies of officials will be implemented by them, and when the time comes, they will deliberately trick you, and you will probably be unlucky.

"My lord, I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt to your question this time! A large volume. Language comprehension, arithmetic, and all kinds of graphical reasoning, and the number of questions is so large that they may not be able to complete it in a short time. But you're still so out of the question, isn't this a cheater? Gao Ming asked.

But Jingwen said: "I can't help it, these guys are too enthusiastic, I have to find a way to brush off a lot of people." In fact, I didn't expect that so many people would apply for the exam, and I could only try to make the questions as difficult as possible. Otherwise, a lot of people will pass the exam. Then the positions of our major yamen are simply not enough. However, in this exam, I am afraid that if you can pass the exam, there should be no need to say much about your ability. In this way, the central departments of the imperial court can obtain a group of capable officials, so that the operation of our central yamen can be greatly improved. ”

But Gao Ming said: "My lord, didn't you eliminate the imperial examination like this? ”

"Yes! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the imperial examination will be eliminated by you! Yang Jia also said.

However, Jingwen said: "Although the imperial examination is very advanced for this era. However, the imperial examination is far less practical than this civil service examination. So. It is not impossible that the imperial examination will be eliminated. Even, I am afraid that this public examination will become another imperial examination. ”

Jingwen remembered the ancient imperial examinations and the so-called civil service examinations in later generations. The abolition of the imperial examination system is actually because the questions in the imperial examination cannot keep up with the times at all. It doesn't really help to be an official. Moreover, the shape of the world has changed, and the imperial examination has not been able to keep up with the times. Later, the government also needed a lot of civil servants, so the civil service examination came into being. From the perspective of historical development, the civil service examination is much more advanced than the imperial examination system. And they don't have to be officials from the beginning. A lot of them have to start from the bottom. In this way, the officials who have risen from the bottom, their governing experience, and various abilities are very good. There are very few situations where you are not up to the task.

Jingwen can be sure that although it seems that the road of these small officials is tortuous, in fact, they must have risen faster than those who became officials in the imperial examination. Because those guys in the imperial examination are rich in theory, but many of them are not grounded. Many people who came from the imperial examination can usually study, which means that they have good economic conditions. However, once they became officials, they directly became leaders, and it can be said that they did not understand the suffering of the people very well. Now the vast majority of this civil service examination is for them to start as junior officials, and they have a lot of experience at the grassroots level, so that they have support below, and their experience in power struggle is much better than that of those young birds who were born in the imperial examination. And then, these ordinary low-level guys can step by step eliminate the so-called second generation of officials and become a new batch of state officials.

As for Emperor Li Shimin, Jingwen can know that he is definitely not stupid, and he will definitely be able to see this situation. Because the current imperial examination has not been able to develop, the people who took the imperial examination in the early years of the Tang Dynasty all had an unclear relationship with high-ranking officials and nobles. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was called a pit father, and it was not a channel that could really exclude the scholars from the officialdom. Now that Jingwen has proposed this civil service exam, it is equivalent to letting many poor students start from the grassroots level and then work hard to climb up. And those real scholars, even if they want to be officials, they will not give up their identity to take the exam for such a small official. This is the Qinggao of the scholar clan, and they either directly enter the imperial examination. However, the admission rate of the imperial examination is very low, far less than that of these low-level civil servants. At that time, the probability of these civil servants in Datang growing up will definitely be more than those of the scholar clan. In this way, civil servants without any family background will not have any bad influence on Datang, but can promote the mobility of the management team. Running water can not be corrupted, and this is the benefit of a national management team.

"Alright, let's go inspect the exam room!" Jingwen said.

Jingwen also wanted to inspect the examination room to see who was taking the exam. And Jingwen is also holding a civil service exam for the first time this time, so he is not so relieved about the scene. Therefore, Jingwen soon came to the examination room and prepared to inspect the examination room. And these officials in charge of invigilating the examination in the political research office also saluted Jingwen. And Jingwen didn't let them say anything, and just let them continue to invigilate. Jingwen entered an examination room, where more than a hundred candidates took the exam. (To be continued......)
