Xue Chongxun thought about it a lot, and then came to Jincheng again, and asked Jincheng to take the place of Sanniang to make a record of his thoughts. Because he felt that Kaneshiro seemed to be born with a good understanding of some new things, it was not so much to ask her to help record it, but to pour out his thoughts.

In his previous life, there was a man who said something that made a deep impression on him. Once when he was bored, he casually sighed to a woman: Walking alone is because there is no one to share. And then that person said that when you get to a certain point, someone will definitely share it. At that time, he felt that this sentence was very reasonable, so he remembered it very deeply. Now that he has reached a "certain" Cheng dù, he has been in the world, and he has a new realm, in fact, walking alone is something that anyone will face, even if he is the son of heaven who everyone flatters. That's why we need to talk about it.

Xue Chongxun sat on the futon in a very casual posture and talked for a long time, and when he paused, he simply put his hands on the back of his head and lay on his back on the floor. Fortunately, the palace in Jincheng was spotless, and even the floors were very clean. He lay there silent for a while, and when he turned his head, he saw an ink landscape painting hanging on the wall, with a majestic artistic conception. He suddenly remembered a word to "lie down", as if he could feel the artistic conception between the mountains and rivers even if he stayed in the house.

After being quiet for a while, he continued to say slowly: "After the qualifications for the imperial examination are determined, the first thing to change is the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian, and then the imperial examination system of different subjects and grades can be set. The Hanlin Academy should be divided into three categories: literature, science, and art, and Guozijian will study in this area. ”

A trace of puzzlement flashed on Princess Jincheng's face after hearing this, Xue Chongxun saw it in her eyes and understood her doubts: Why is there such a thing as art? At the beginning, the examination of poetry and poetry was canceled, and the test paper had to be re-copied before the review, and the calligraphy was not important, not to mention the Danqing and the rhythm, but the Hanlin Academy had to set up this category, which was not contrary to the practical tone?

Xue Chongxun didn't know how to express it, but he didn't think it contradicted the practicality laid down by the new imperial examination, because he thought of the influence of the Renaissance.

But he only relied on his own intuitive judgment, but he was unable to explain the results like inferential formulas. There is no one to help him argue, he is a lonely man, a dictator, so sometimes the decision can only be made by intuition, maybe it is just a big gamble.

"Literature and history, political participation, and drafting; Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Consulting; Art repairs calligraphy and painting, music and rhythm, chess and so on. Xue Chongxun finished speaking slowly, then paused for a moment and continued, "After that, there is the system of classifying the imperial examination. But all the scholars who have the merit of the students began to be classified, the first type is the Jinshi department, the township examination, the meeting examination, the palace examination three levels, the main examination of the scriptures and the questioning policy, after the township examination to become a person, the person can be an alternate official; You can also enter the Guozijian to continue to study for the examination and the palace examination to become a jinshi; Jinshi must have an official position, the lowest is to be sent to the county order, and the most talented people serve in the Hanlin Academy.

The second type of examination is the science class of Guozijian, the first subject is mathematics, and the Jingyi and Q Ce subjects are secondary; This kind of supervisor can be admitted to the Hanlin Academy of Science, and then study science in the Hanlin Academy, or serve as an official of the Central Ministry of Household and Industry; It is also possible to wait for local household and engineering official positions at all levels.

The third is the direct examination of martial arts, which can be appointed as a military attache after training in the Flying Tiger Regiment; You can also continue to take the martial arts hall and give martial arts to the warriors to be the talents of the generals. The last type is those who have attainments and breakthroughs in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and finally can enter the Hanlin Academy, and they are also given the background of Jinshi. ”

Xue Chongxun initially drafted this set of systems, with the imperial examination as the main way to select talents, supplemented by two other secondary ways of conferring officials: one is the hereditary title of nobles with birth and title, and the number of lords is reduced from generation to generation; The other is that the children of ministers with meritorious merits can be exempted from the preliminary scientific examination and directly enter the Guozijian as a "Meng Prison", and can be awarded as a lifter, and they can also directly take the three Jinshi exams with other Guozijian students.

After he conceived it, he took the draft of the transcript to revise and organize it himself, and it took a long time to think about it. In the end, he thought that the system based on the Ming Dynasty system was relatively reasonable, and finally met with Su Jin, preparing to let this dossier start the implementation stage.

The dossier was handed over to Su Jin as a secret text and was not allowed to be made public, Xue Chongxun asked Su Jin to take a look at it first, and then decided whether he was willing to take it over. When the summoning was about to end, Xue Chongxun looked at Su Jin very seriously and said, "You don't have to do this. ”

Su Jin's nickname is Su Shilang, and he has seen the ups and downs of officialdom, and he just got the secret scroll before he had time to read it, and he heard two mysteries from Xue Chongxun's bland words alone. First of all, this matter is an opportunity, in order to repay his support for his meritorious service, Xue Chongxun must let him be in a high position because of this major event, otherwise why did so many important ministers of the court choose him alone? Then there is a risk in this matter, and the responsibility is heavy, so Xue Chongxun deliberately said, "You don't have to do it."

Su "Shilang" kept the dossier in the yamen of zài, and only took it out to read in the study after the daily duty. Every word on the paper is handwritten by the emperor himself, which shows that Xue Chongxun attaches great importance to this matter. Su Jin read it twice and had his own prediction about the change: maybe Jinshike will be a subject sought after by scholars, and other classes will become unpopular, because Jinshike is more suitable for people who are dedicated to their careers, and Jingyi is also a content that readers are more familiar with (but mathematics has been popularized from the threshold of student qualifications, which obviously meets the emperor's expectations); Then such an unconventional scientific expedition will be controversial in Shilin, and it is certainly not a method that everyone will approve of.

A few days later, Su Jin prepared to write the official book of the proposed chapter, and he proposed this change by himself. Regardless of the risk, the emperor gave the opportunity and there was no reason to back down.

The official recital, first the prime minister of the political hall saw it, and according to the rules, he had to give a way to deal with it, and then handed it to the cabinet and the emperor. But this time, Su Jin's recital was not approved, but he just read it once and sent it directly to the cabinet. As soon as the prime ministers looked at the content, it was the cabinet minister Su Jin who had to play the chapter, and they could figure out with their toes that it was not Su Jin's political opinion, it was Xue Chongxun's idea at all, and he sang a duet with Su Jin.

Xue Chongxun planned to take this piece to the inner court to discuss it with the ministers, and then explore the attitudes of the two yamen ministers. There were only ten important ministers of the Southern Ya who participated in the imperial meeting this time, and none of them were absent, and Xue Chongxun rarely wore it to officially participate in the Zichen Palace.

At first, everyone seemed very cautious, because once people showed their attitudes, it was inconvenient to change them later, otherwise they would give the impression that their political views were not firm. Su Jin elaborated in the inner court according to the content of Xue Chongxun's secret scroll, and Xue Chongxun asked some questions lightly, and finally asked the ministers' opinions. Du Xian first approved of Su Jin's performance, and then the other two people in the cabinet also agreed, which was something they had discussed in advance.

And the political affairs hall did not contradict the cabinet, they also understood that this matter was to be done by Xue Chongxun, and it had little to do with the cabinet. Zhang Shuo and others immediately believed that the advantages of reforming the imperial examination outweighed the disadvantages, and even Li Shouyi did not oppose it...... The imperial examination is really a development trend and consensus today, and people can no longer find convincing arguments to oppose it; And mathematics is a book written by Xue Chongxun, and the ministers are reluctant to talk about this rule, which is obviously difficult to get along with the emperor.

Xue Chongxun had long expected that the reform of the imperial examination would only be difficult to choose the person who presided over the overall situation, and he would not encounter much resistance in the two ya, but he did not expect that the progress would be so smooth and rapid. He simply struck while the iron was hot, and sealed the honorary title of Prince and Young Master of Su Jin on the spot, and ordered him to preside over the imperial examination reform.

Su Jin believes that the new imperial examination system will not start until two years later, and now in the winter of the second year of Tianbao, the first qualification examination for students in various places should be held in the spring of the fourth year, and then the first township examination will be held in the autumn of the fourth year, and the production of new jinshi will be about in the spring of the fifth year of Tianbao. Because the new imperial examination has a subject "mathematics" that is completely unfamiliar to the people of the world, before that, it is necessary to print books and transmit them to the states, and give scholars time to study; Rao is like this, Xue Chongxun understands that Tianbao's four-year mathematics subject can only test simple test questions, and people's study time is too short, but it is impossible for him to delay the implementation of a national policy for four or five years, so it can only be like this. In addition, the imperial court should set up school and government yamen in each province, set up state schools and county schools in prefectures and counties, and change the pattern of the Hanlin Academy's national sub-prison, all of which will take time.

After this series of arrangements were made, in the winter of this year, Xue Chongxun finally promulgated the edict of the imperial examination, ordering the abolition of the old imperial examination system, and the implementation of a new imperial examination system from the fourth year of Tianbao, and outlining the new rules in the edict.

The holy decree was first posted at the gate of the palace, and this public holy decree was quickly posted to various post stations, and then spread to the yamen of various prefectures and counties. G
