With the arrival of 1636 A.D., a new round of scientific expeditions was also underway.

Interestingly, it is not only Han Chinese who came to take the exam this time, but also many candidates from ethnic minorities. However, Zhang Hongbin will not set any thresholds or benefits, and candidates from ethnic minorities are allowed to take the exam, but whether they can pass the exam depends on their own strength.

After all, he has always clamored for ethnic equality, so naturally he will not refuse the right of ethnic minorities to apply for civil service examinations and even enter the National Assembly; But again, he would not give preferential treatment, which stemmed from an incident he had heard before: in order to get into a better university, the parents found out that his grandfather was a quarter of the Manchu ancestry, so they tried to change the candidate's ethnicity to Manchu in order to get extra points.

Whether the welfare policies of ethnic minorities in later generations are good or bad, to be honest, Zhang Hongbin does not comment.

But in general, it gives people a feeling of forcing Han people to be a minority...... Could it be that when the number of Han and ethnic minorities is the same, can it be proved that the 56 ethnic groups are heart-to-heart and the 56 ethnic groups are united? Forget it, Zhang Hongbin was not the ruler in the first place, he couldn't understand this.

Among these ethnic minority candidates, a group of people from Myanmar Province also participated in the registration.

Perhaps they plan to fight for more rights for their hometown. After all, their hometown was under the rule of the Republic, and they feared that these officials would more or less favor the Han Chinese and make things difficult for them. It would be nice to have full control of the administrative positions in the provinces of Burma, but unfortunately everyone knows that it is impossible.

Because of the maturity of the civil service examination, candidates can already register for the examination locally, and do not need to come to Chang'an for it. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of people will flock to Lang, which will not only consume time, but also resources.

Besides, there are only 10 civil servant positions released in Chang'an this year, and more than 500,000 people are vying for these ten positions. They all start at the grassroots level, so why bother in Chang'an? It's a pity that there are still many people who can't see through this, and 100,000 people still came to the Chang'an test center to apply for the civil service examination.

As a result, some local application centers have obviously released more than 30 places, but more than 10 people have applied for the examination. Unless you really come to make trouble, you can basically pass the exam. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will have to transfer some parts from other places to fill the vacancy.

As for all parts of China, I don't know if they plan to rob Zhang Hongbin of people. Not only did they send a large number of intelligence workers to Chang'an to persuade and win over these candidates, but they also set up scientific examinations in their own forces. Not only in China, but also in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which opened a scientific expedition at this time, but it is unknown whether they participated in it or not.

Several forces conducted scientific research together, and this scene was indeed quite spectacular, but this obviously targeted behavior made Zhang Hongbin a little unhappy.

Fortunately, the treatment and welfare of the republic may not be the best, but the system is the most fair, and as long as the candidates have real talent, they will be able to get ahead one day. It's not that there are no 'officials. The second generation is a special collective, but it must also have a certain talent to allow it to go through the back door. And the rate of being able to go through the back door is very low, and those who don't learn and don't know how to do it can only obediently go to their children.

It is precisely because of fairness that everyone recognizes the republic more. And if other forces really want to be fair, maybe the Ming Dynasty can make do, and no force will be able to do it in the past. The most cheating dad is naturally the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the top three must be Manchus, no matter how many points they score.

From admission to the release of the list, the staff of the Chang'an Education Bureau are the hardest. For this reason, Zhang Hongbin had to transfer a group of people from other departments to help, and only then did he barely cope with the problem of food and accommodation for 200,000 people. It's not that people don't have money to stay, it's that there aren't that many houses for them to stay in. The local civil affairs bureau had to urgently set up a large number of tents, which was barely enough for them to stay.

After a few days of exams, some people are happy and some are worried. Those who have done well in the exam will naturally become a civil servant, and those who fail in the exam but have a decent score may fill the vacant positions in various places after simple training. Of course, whether to go or not is also the choice of the candidate.

Today, however, even in Yunnan and Myanmar, the security and environment are much better. After more than half a year of hard work by the past officials, a prototype has been built to some extent, not to mention other benefits, just to let these candidates serve in the past, but there is not much resistance. The only pity is that Zhang Hongbin canceled the special benefits related to his position in the province of Myanmar. Of course, this also made the first group of people who didn't want to go beat their chests and be annoyed at the moment.

Those who didn't pass the exam, and some of them couldn't pass the test and couldn't accept the temptation, naturally went to other forces as errands. At this moment, Guangxi and Jiaozhi have just been beaten down by Zhang Xianzhong, and he also needs a large number of officials. And Li Zicheng is sitting in Guangdong and Fujian, and he also intends to settle down.

As for the Ming Dynasty, its territory has not been expanded for the time being, but they have always needed qualified officials. Especially in recent times, with the constitutional monarchy and the formulation of the "Ming Constitution", the new administrative structure has begun to be reformed, which also requires a large number of officials to work, and it is not a way to rely only on temporary workers.

In any case, with the end of the work of the Great Migration and the end of the civil service examination, everyone in the Congress, especially Zhang Hongbin, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"They all say let me expand and expand...... Where do I expand? Zhang Hongbin complained a little while eating.

"You kid, you're talking nonsense, aren't you? Huaxia is so big, you haven't occupied it all! "Old man Zhang was very dissatisfied with Zhang Hongbin's speech when he was eating.

"Dad, what the third brother means is 'There are so many things to take care of in such a place now, if there are a few more places, he will be busy to death.' "Zhang Hongwen, as the eldest brother, naturally wants to help his younger brother a little.

"So, the little bunny went the wrong way in the first place. Other dynasties and dynasties have conquered the world in one breath and then slowly transformed, how can he slowly advance while governing? As a result, he was held back by political affairs, and now he suffers, right? "Old man Zhang is still a little resentful.

He is also a prince, although he is not a director, but he often goes out to play. I have been in contact with those gentry for a long time, and I have been talked about so many times, and I feel unhappy. It seems that the gentry of the world are laughing at their son's development line, but if you listen carefully, it seems to make sense...... There is no way to refute, so I can only come back and ask my son to give an answer.

"Dad, if I knock down Huaxia at the beginning, and then slowly reform. So in the process of fighting, who am I going to use to help me govern the world? Zhang Hongbin replied casually.

"Daming is not all corrupt officials, there are also many good officials...... Besides, those literati and writers, there is no shortage of talents in the family, right? Old Man Zhang naturally said what he heard.

"Yes, it depends on the family...... Dad, do you know that in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, these big families even refused to intermarry with Li Shimin, and even the tail was too big to fall, so that Li Shimin couldn't kill them if he wanted to? And in the entire history of the Tang Dynasty, these families have constantly caused trouble to the imperial court, but the imperial court has no way to destroy them, so they can only tolerate compromises again and again. Zhang Hongbin asked rhetorically.

"This ...... How so? "Old man Zhang is not stupid, he seems to have heard something.

"To put it bluntly, all the officials of the imperial court are from the family, and all the people are influenced by the family. At that time, the people were just like the Ming Dynasty, ignorant and ignorant, and only knew how to obey the guidance of public opinion, and the main force that acted as the guide was the family.

The imperial court occupies a sufficient share, if they don't do it, who are you going to let help you govern this world? If you want to reform, they are not happy and go on strike, or even mobilize public opinion to do the right thing with you, how are you going to deal with yourself? You must know that when the time comes, you will not only face the deep-rooted feudal families, but also the people who have been instigated by them, which means that you will almost have to be the enemy of the whole world. Zhang Hongbin said very seriously.

"Our republic has opened up the wisdom of the people, and let's not say anything to make the people identify with the republic. The primary purpose is to weaken the control of public opinion by the literati and the great families of the people. On this basis, we opened schools to train qualified students, so that they had the ability and qualifications to participate in scientific examinations, and diluted the influence of the family in the imperial court. To this day, even the big families must bow their heads under the political propositions we have established, and dare not trespass in the slightest.

At the end of the day, because we were not the heirs of a dynasty from the beginning, but the pioneers of a new era. We have created a new situation, we have created a new system, and most importantly, we have created a new discipline. In other words, we have changed from being the rule-keepers of our successors to being the rule-makers, which gives us the absolute initiative to implement various systems in the most effective and safe way without worrying about backlash.

Perhaps, this will make our conquest of China much slower. But the benefit is also obvious, and that is that we have enough talent to fill in quickly after we have a place. We don't have to rely on any so-called big families, and even public opinion will be firmly in our hands. We just need to follow the rules we set, not the unspoken rules of the past.

Therefore, in terms of the governing philosophy, I am in favor of the third brother. Zhang Hongwen also stood up and explained to Zhang Hongbin.

"People are getting old...... This world is still the world of you young people...... It seems that I am too old......" Mr. Zhang couldn't help but sigh that he was old.

A lot of things have been solidified, and there is no way to see through them and see them clearly...... In this era of young people, let's not continue to restrain their steps.

Seeing this, the two brothers naturally flattered again, and finally made Old Man Zhang laugh, and the family finally had a harmonious lunch......
