What is the imperial examination? In terms of the literal meaning alone, it refers to the division of "subjects" into examinations and the "lifting" of officials is appointed. However, the inspection system of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty was also divided into various subjects, and even the permanent ones also had two subjects, filial piety and honesty, and Maocai, and those who were recommended to the central government by the local government for this reason must also pass the guò examination. Is it just that the examination system is regularized, standardized, and strict, and that there are more subdivisions, can it be regarded as a thorough reform of the employment system? Can it be regarded as a imperial examination system? Where is it that simple!

The probationary system broke the traditional aristocratic system of appointing officials based on blood as a status mark, and changed it to a family and group as its identity symbol -- the so-called family does not only refer to the children of the scholars, but also includes their protégés, former officials, and their generations of dependents. The imperial examination system also broke down the family and group background, so that theoretically speaking, the landlords of the Shu nationality who had no family background and foundation could still stand on the same starting line as the children of the eunuchs of the previous generations to participate in the examination, thus greatly enhancing the mobility of the class and even the class, and enhancing the vitality of the whole society.

This was a clever and unique employment system in the Middle Ages that left other nations and countries in the Middle Ages, and at the same time, China's bureaucratic system was also formed.

For example, under the probationary system, ordinary people have no chance of getting ahead. For example, Liu Bei, although he is called the royal dragon descendant, his family has been ruined, and he was forced to weave mats and sell them for a living when he was a teenager. Although he once worshipped under Lu Zhimen with Gongsun Chan and others, it is estimated that with his status, he is at most an auditor, so filial piety, Maocai and the like must have no share. He can be an official, which is completely a special case caused by troubled times.

But under the perfect imperial examination system, as long as he is talented, he is humble and learns. It is possible to become an official through formal channels - what is wrong with the poor family? After the Tang and Song dynasties, there were private schools all over the place. As long as there is a heart. You can learn a lot of knowledge just by eavesdropping (of course, it's better to be too poor), and then go to the imperial examination, you have a chance to stand out - of course, in theory, in fact, the probability is still very low, plus Liu Bei is a ...... who doesn't like to read

It is more permissible to take the example of the elk, the elk family is rich, but powerless. He probably relied on the military funding given to Tao Qian, and even so, he was still outside the regular establishment, and it was not until he entered Liu Bei's group that he had a serious official status - if it weren't for the troubled times, I am afraid that he would not even be able to go down this road. But since he has money, after the printing industry became popular, it was not difficult to collect some classics and find some well-educated Confucians to teach. If you really want to pass the Jinshi exam, you will be able to ascend to the sky in one step.

Under the probation system. Under the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, this possibility is almost equal to zero, even if you have money, you can't raise filial piety, and it's useless to bribe voters -- your net worth is too low, and no one cares unless you fake your identity.

The imperial examination system, one said that the form was in the Sui Dynasty, and the other said that it was completed in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Xun's understanding, or the Tang Dynasty is more reliable. The biggest difference between the examination system of the Tang Dynasty and the examination system of the Sui Dynasty is that scholars do not have to be recommended by the local government, but can be self-recommended - to put it bluntly, as long as you are innocent, have not violated the law, and have not been punished, theoretically all adult men are eligible to take the national civil service examination, and there is no need for a recommendation at all.

In this way, the wealthy families who have the power to recommend have little energy, because it doesn't matter if they don't recommend the Shu family, the Shu family can go to the government office to sign up by themselves.

This is the most ferocious thunderous blow to the inspection system and the nine products of the positive system!

So when Xun Yi said the words "You can make the assassin self-recommended", everyone was shocked on the spot. Chen Qun was especially shocked and embarrassed, even if he was well-cultivated, he couldn't help but have green muscles beating in his head, and said in his heart that you have fundamentally denied the old system of inspection and the Nine Grades of Officials and Law I proposed! With such a big circle, you have to start from scratch and start again, are you playing me or me or me? Besides, in this way, the family will completely lose its advantage, aren't you afraid of what Qianfu will point? !

"If you can nominate yourself, what is the use of election?!"

It was Xun who waved his hand at Chen Qun, signaling him to be at ease: "Xun is not a lie, nor is it a way to stop the Nine Rank officials." Naiyun recommended himself, and this was forced to supplement the election due to the situation of the time - there are two reasons for this. ”

Chen Qun snorted and gasped, and said in his heart that if he didn't drive in front of Cao Cao, just the "self-recommendation of the assassination" you proposed, we would cut off the relationship on the spot - although there was not much friendship in the first place, after all, the face was quite passable, right? Cao Cao's "meritocracy", you are more radical than him, Cao Cao has to do it in response to the troubled times, I set up the system as the law of the world, and now you want to collapse all the laws of the world, and my generation should beat the drum and attack it! But okay, it's Hongsuke who is good at making a big statement, first deterring everyone, and then slowly making up for it, this habit is commonplace for big guys, I'll listen to it first, how do you want to make up for it?

"Let the gentleman be cautious, and his words must be there." You can think about it, you have to make it right, otherwise don't blame me...... We're all not kind to you!

Shi Xun still had that calm and clear expression, first looked around at everyone, and then waved shallow at Cao Cao, and then said: "Filial piety is afraid that there are sages in the wilderness, and the lord also tastes the clouds: 'The scholar is short, and the mediocrity can be wasted?'" 'The Nine Rank Officials can be applied to the peaceful world, which is the law of eternity, and may not be in line with the present; However, its policy of setting up the Zhongzheng and Pinxiang Party will be used in the present day. Therefore, Xun is a strategy that can be used to control chaos and be used in the future. ”

Chen Changwen, I don't want to completely overthrow your Nine Grades Official Law, and also praise it as "the law of eternity", but some of your things are not suitable today, and some of them must be used today -- otherwise, if you can't choose the right person below, your officials will inevitably be blinded -- so I have to consider a set of universal plans.

"Xi Mao then recommended himself, which is in Chu, and if there is no self-recommendation, there will be a legacy. Under the ......probation system, it is not uncommon for scholars to self-recommend, because even if the self-recommendation is successful, they cannot enter the official establishment, and they have to rely on the long-term inspection and promotion of the officials. However, under the new system, as long as you pass the guò exam, you can enter the official career, so the road to self-recommendation to the chief has been cut off, isn't it a pity? I'm sure I'm missing a lot of talent. That's why I allowed ordinary scholars to submit themselves to qualify for the exam.

Xun Yu asked the key point in a timely manner: "You can try it if you recommend yourself, and you can be an official if you win the test, so what's the use of recommending?" In the future, who can protect his family background and morality? ”

Shi Xun still waved his hand, signaling that I would talk about this question later-" The one mentioned before, because of one, there are still two. Today, the law of nine officials is only applied to the five counties of Wei State, and the order is correct, and the township party is evaluated, so why should people from other counties enter it? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts that this was indeed a big problem. Although Cao Cao was named the Wei State in five counties, and he could select talents at will in these five counties, it did not mean that he could only select people from these five counties. The Han Dynasty is so big, what should people from other counties do if they want Shiwei? How can I not allow self-nomination? But in this way, it has returned to the old road of employing people at will in troubled times, and it is not a system, and the so-called Nine Grades Official Law is not useless?

The big guys had nothing to say at this time, and they all turned their eyes to Chen Qun - Alas, either put your plan on hold first, and wait for the lord to really win the whole world, and then we will implement it?

In the original history, when Chen Qun proposed the Nine Grades Official Law, there are different versions in the past dynasties, one says that Cao Cao died and Cao Pi succeeded to the king of Wei, and the other says that the Wei Dynasty has been established. That is, Xun thinks that the first statement may be correct, but when it comes to implementation, the second statement is still available. The reason is very simple, even if the Cao family has completely taken power, for such a heavy restructuring measure, it must wait for the right Son of Heaven to be promulgated later, so that it can really be justified and without resistance.

Now Cao Cao is also in charge of the Han Dynasty, so when Chen Qun designed the Nine Grades Official Law, he originally followed the idea of applying it to the territory of the entire Han Dynasty, but Xun first brought him a ditch, as if it could only be tried in the five counties of Wei State first - just like the new official system. However, if you think about it carefully, the two sets of official systems can go hand in hand, but the Jiupin Official Law really cannot be promulgated in the name of the Han Dynasty -- if you really want to be selected, whether you are admitted or you get talents, will it belong to the Han Dynasty or to the Wei State? Some people are willing to be Han officials, and more people want to get on the ship of Wei, how do you evaluate and distribute it?

Besides, Yang, Fujian, Hong, Xiang, Yuan, Yi, Liang, Liang, Jiao and other states are still in the hands of other forces, and it is impossible for the imperial court to send Zongzheng there, so is it possible to give up all the talents in these states? In the original history, after Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, the territory of the Three Kingdoms was basically fixed, and it quickly changed from a hostile force to an enemy country. It's not possible now, they are all the people of the Han Dynasty, why can the guys in those states run away from us to become officials without going through the evaluation and election?

So it's really a natural blind spot. Chen Qun figured this out, and couldn't help but sigh - but he was really reluctant to create the Nine Rank Official Law that he had painstakingly created, so he was forced to take a deep look at Shi Xun: "The loss of the real group, what Ling Jun said is true." But I don't know how to get one' and use it to control the chaos and use it for the future'? "Didn't you say that you didn't completely scrap my plan, but just wanted to add some additional comments? How exactly is it added?

Shixun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Today, he has put out a large set of new tricks, and the biggest hurdle and the most likely to be strongly opposed is the "self-recommendation", which cannot be abolished now -- at least not for now -- and the contradiction between the Jiupin Official Law, since it has been reluctantly recognized by the representatives of the family headed by Chen Qun, then the latter words are relatively easy to say. Every word and plan he made in the future would sound like he was helping Chen Qun make up for the gaps, rather than dismantling the stage in secret, as if he was purely thinking about the interests of the country, rather than trying to compress the family's upside......
