In April of the ninth year of Wucheng, Zheng Kezang toured the east and west of Sichuan.

Because it is upstream along the waterway, the first stop of Zheng Kezang's trip is naturally Jiangling, which is listed as a left-behind mansion.

After nearly ten years of recuperation, Gangneung has largely recovered, but Zheng Kezhang did not come to see the market in Gangneung, and the main purpose of his visit to Gangneung was to check the education situation in Gangneung.

Although the education system of the Huaxia Dynasty was divided into four levels: Mengxue, County School, (Prefecture) Prefecture School and Taixue, in fact, due to the shortage of teachers, the content of imperial education was repeatedly compressed, which did not fully conform to Zheng Kezang's original vision. It is only in recent years, with the increasing consolidation of the Huaxia Dynasty and the continuous training of talents, that the four-level system has been initially perfected in Wuchang Prefecture, Chengtian Mansion in the Eastern Capital, Qiongzhou Prefecture in Nanjing, Chaozhou Garrison Mansion, Taiping Garrison Mansion, Jingzhou Garrison Mansion, as well as Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Huguang, Guangdong and other provinces and regions with relatively abundant financial resources.

Of course, the Mongolian school in the four-level education system has always been undertaken by the private sector itself, and the county and inspection departments are mainly responsible for supervision and inspection. Therefore, there is no political treatment after graduating from the Mongolian school, and the graduates must go to the state government to take the examination to obtain a diploma of the D class before they have the opportunity to enter the county school or go out as the lowest level of exile officials. According to the internal regulations of the Ministry of Chinese Officials, those who come out with a primary diploma will only have a chance to be promoted once every five years, and it is impossible for them to be promoted when they reach the eighth grade.

Therefore, the county school is actually the most basic official education in the Chinese Dynasty.

However, what the county school teaches is only a general generalist education, such as the six arts of the gentleman, etc., and does not make details, so its graduates will either enter the (state) government school to continue their studies after obtaining a third-class diploma in the assessment, or make up a diploma in the specialized schools opened by various ministries and yamen by chance, otherwise they can only achieve the highest level of the sixth grade after entering the office.

(Prefecture) government school began to divide into subjects, corresponding to the existing ministries and yamen of the Chinese Dynasty, (state) government school set up computer science (finance and economics), agriculture (agriculture and forestry), engineering (construction), etiquette, law, medicine and other subjects, and its graduates generally enter the ministries and yamen to work, if there is no accident, they can generally do the four products. However, in view of the different powers and responsibilities of the officials of various ministries and yamen, in order to prevent students from picking fat and thin, they do not want to study certain subjects, so the difficulty of admission to each subject is different, so as to generally ensure the employment of each ministry and yamen.

However, there are some exceptions, and not all ministries and yamen will appoint (state) school leavers.

For example, the Governor's Yamen of the Governor's Office of Foreign Affairs was nominally under the Department of Rites, but it never directly accepted students from the local (state) capital schools in the Rite Department, and it opened its own special school, and the students were recruited from ordinary officials with low academic qualifications, low diplomas, and no hope of promotion; The same is true of the Criminal Department, although its chief officers at all levels are all from the law department, its basic professional personnel are all trained from the provincial anti-theft schools directly under the ministry, and most of its students come from those groups who have graduated from school but cannot obtain a primary diploma.

Taixue is the most advanced school in China, set up in the provincial capitals and in Wuchang and other Zhili prefectures, and its students are (state) school graduates who have obtained a diploma of Ding. As the highest educated person in the Chinese Dynasty, these days of pride is cultivated as the backbone of the department, if there is no corruption or other accidents halfway down, Shangshu, Shilang, and the governor will be the end of his career, as for whether he can be a cabinet minister, the prime minister, this is mainly by chance rather than academic qualifications.

It is precisely because of this that there are usually only a few or a dozen students in Taixue in various places, and they will definitely graduate once they are enrolled, so the difficulty and competition of their learning are far less intense than those in the (state) schools.

In this regard, Guo Kai, the minister of the school department, objected: "There are so few students in various places, and they occupy local manpower and financial resources alone, so it is better to be in the center and managed by the school department." ”

Zheng Kezhang was silent, and Guo Kai further said: "Too many students travel all day long, and they don't have the heart to study seriously. ”

Guo Kai's establishment only nominally involved changes in the school system, but it fundamentally shook the current employment system in China. In this regard, Zheng Kezhang felt quite tricky. Guo Kai is a veteran minister who has followed the Zheng family for two generations of father and son, of course, it is impossible to have different intentions, so it must be that there is indeed a problem with the school system that makes him risk angering Zheng Kezang.

Zheng Kezhang thought about it for a long time, and slowly replied: "This matter is serious, and the school department is on the last one, and I slowly think about it??????"

Guo Kai's movements were very fast, and on the day Zheng Kezhang arrived in Kuizhou Mansion, he was on the script. The reform proposed by the Faculty is simple, that is, to abolish the existing third-class academic examination and reinstate the examination.

Zheng Kezhang read this chapter very carefully, and he is not actually going to completely deny the four-level education system, but to summarize it in one sentence is "expanding enrollment" - Mongolian students can go to the county to participate in the government examination after completing their studies, and those who pass can be allowed to enter the county school for free; After three years of study, county students can enter the state capital city to participate in the provincial examination, and those who pass the provincial examination can enter the state capital school for free; If they fail to pass the examination, they will be allowed to repeat their studies for three years, and if they fail to pass the re-examination, their qualification to study in the county school for free will be revoked, and they will be given a certificate of completion of the county school, with which they can apply for admission to the examination at the specialized school of the Criminal Department or the Governor's Yamen;

After three years of study, students from the (state) government are allowed to go to the provincial capital to take the school entrance examination and pass the entrance examination; If you fail to pass the exam, you will return to the (state) government school to continue your studies, and if you fail to apply for the exam again, you will be given a certificate of completion of the (state) government school; Students are assessed once every three years, and those who pass the test at one time are awarded the official position of the ninth grade by the Ministry of Officials, and they are appointed by each department and the Yamen, and those who pass the examination twice are awarded the official position from the nine grades by the Ministry of Officials, and those who pass the test three times are appointed as a first-class officer;

In addition to the way for students to enter the office, those who have a certificate of completion of county school and a certificate of completion of school in the (state) government can go to the provincial government to participate in the examination every three years, and those who are admitted to the examination can enter the colleges opened by the various ministries and yamen.

For those who do not have a certificate of completion of the (state) government school or county school, the school department holds a system of courses in Beijing every six years, and those who are admitted to the examination will enter the colleges opened by each department and each yamen according to the subject, and will be appointed after passing the college examination;

The above three paths can be called the right path, the difference is that students can directly achieve the third and fourth grades without any obstacles, and those who are born in the examination and system can only be blocked in the fifth and sixth grades if they do not have the academic qualifications for further study in the various ministries and yamen colleges??????

Zheng Kezhang looked at it, and handed the chapter to Li Jing, the former minister of the audit yamen meeting office and now the minister of Shangshutai in Yidong and other places: "I have some confusion in my thoughts, after reading it, let's give me a Jianyi." ”

This was originally out of line with the system, but how could the flattered Li Jing refuse, so he had to tremble and take the song and read it, and then pondered for a while, and then reported to Zheng Kezang: "The minister thinks that Lord Guo is the old man who seeks the country's opinion, and this dynasty does not set up the imperial examination, so that the scholars of the north are more focused on Jianyu, rather than letting these people help the Qing prisoners to abuse, it is better to change the policy and draw a salary from the bottom of the cauldron for the Qing prisoners??????"

Zheng Kezhang asked: "Expanding the third-level schools, the local financial support is possible?" ”

Li Jing replied honestly: "It is indeed a little difficult to deal with the locality, but the minister thinks that if only the third-level students are given food, clothing, pen and ink, paper, and books, the cost is still not much. ”

Zheng Kezhang nodded: "Qing is right, this dynasty uses schools to replace the imperial examination, and there are many scholars among the people who are dissatisfied, and this dynasty implements the tax exemption policy for the people, and the gentry and officials have no benefit, so they dare to be angry and dare not speak, so it is also appropriate to let them breathe a sigh of relief, but this matter involves the yamen of various ministries, so it is necessary to be cautious." ”

Zheng Kezhang ordered: "Come, send this letter back to Xingzai, and let the cabinet discuss it." ”

The chamberlain was just about to come up to take over the chapter, when Zheng Kezhang suddenly waved his hand: "Wait a minute." ”

The chamberlain immediately stood still, only to hear Zheng Kezhang ask: "Li Qing, now that the senior officials of a province are only three grades, is it a little low." ”

Li Jing's hair immediately stood on end, and he didn't know how to answer, so it took a long time to say: "Shengshang Mingjian, the Shangshu of the Qing Dynasty in the north are all first-class, but they have no power, and it is better to be one in this dynasty." ”

"But after all, it's still low." Zheng Kezhang stood up with his hands behind his back. "The three princes and three orphans are the first product, the three princes of the East Palace and the three orphans of the East Palace are from the first product, the Zongren Mansion is the left and right Zongzheng, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Zhengqing of the Supervision Yuan, and the Zhengqing of the Grand Trial Yuan are the second products, and the left and right Zongren, the cabinet ministers, the ministers of the ministries, and the ministers of the Yamen will be from the second product, these are no problems, and the governor only has the three products are a little low, and the more they go to the grassroots level, the more low they are." Zheng Kezang's words made Li Jing breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that Zheng Kezhang saw other problems from Guo Kai's recital. "The fifth rank of Liuwai is also not worthy of the name, Li Qing, what do you think of the restoration of the Tang system?" The 30-level official system of the Tang Dynasty is different from the Chinese official system after Song Yuanfeng in that it is divided into two levels below the four grades on the basis of positive and subordinate. "Is it possible to achieve the unity of officials through this?"

"Shengshang, the pro-people officials such as the magistrates of this dynasty are generally from the sixth grade, the magistrates of Taiping, Jingzhou, and Chaozhou are from the fifth grade, and the magistrates of Wuchang, Chengtian, Qiongzhou, and Henan are even more of the fifth grade, which is not low." Li Jing admonished. "What's more, the people are already familiar with the rank of officials, and if they are more open, they are afraid of chaos."

"That's right." Zheng Kezhang did not think about it maturely, and when he heard Li Jing's advice, he immediately changed his course. "Let's put it there for now." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang circled a few strokes on Guo Kai's concert, handed it to the waiter waiting aside, and ordered. "Get out now!"
