Mao Jue cited the problems he had encountered in the pawn election before, in order to illustrate: morality is really invisible and intangible, even he is often blinded, who can guarantee that the new county Zhongzheng is stronger than his own eyesight?

"In the township, often marriages are married, if it is not the worst, it will be hidden-it is the experience of knowing virtue, and it is the most difficult. When a large zhongzheng is set up in the capital, he will be inspected one by one to get rid of his treachery. ”

What are the counties and counties? That can't be done, the central government has to unify it before it can be done.

It was Xun Xin who said that you can't say anything at all, and couldn't help but interject: "The country has its own department, and you can control it." Mao Jue immediately retorted: "There are also local electors, literary and literary selections, and rebuilding Zhongzheng is redundant!" "There's no need to take off your pants and fart at all, just according to Chen Qun's idea, it's just to appoint a native to be the election department and the official of the cultural selection department of each county and county.

In fact, it is to transform the selection department, or to set up a new official in the middle of the government, this is all a trivial issue, and Cao Cao is not willing to dwell on this kind of matter, so he asked Mao Jue directly: "What is the second mistake?" ”

Mao Jue said: "At the beginning of my life in the township, there were 100 acres of thin fields, the classics were rare, the scriptures were not as deep as the study, and there was no ambition, but to read the law, it was enough to be a servant, filial piety, Maocai, and I was like a floating cloud." In the township, we are turbid, and the scholars of the family are clear, and there is no owner to lead the public, and there is today? And to make the people of their own nationality as Zhongzheng, they must be evaluated by the township party, and they are not willing to investigate them deeply, and all the deeds must be well-read. However, quoting scriptures and classics, and not scorching the tongue, make it useless to do anything. Now the new law, that is, the county officials are also selected by the imperial court. All from the inspection. Then we may not have a bright day! ”

This is finally to the point. In this day and age. The Shu clan and the Hanmen are not without the way of officials, but under normal circumstances, the inspection is not on their heads, and they must be independently recruited by the magistrates, starting from the small officials, on the one hand, they are not considered formal civil servants, and on the other hand, the glass ceiling is hanging high above. Mao Jue said that this is how he started, but now the country is stretching its hand too long. Even the county officials must be appointed by the electoral department, and if they are built according to Chen Qun's proposal, they must be recommended by the county to the electoral department. Since the central magistrate is a native of the country, when he evaluates a person, he will definitely be influenced by local public opinion, and the local people are accustomed to calling those who are born in a family and studying scriptures as Qingliu and regard them as noble, and those who are from the Shu clan and are forced to start their lives only by law and practice are called turbidity and lowly. In this way, all that the central official will recommend is Qingliu. Even the little officials can't do it.

The problem is that the Manchu Dynasty was all scholars or scholars, and there were few people with practical ability, so how could this country do well?

Mao Jue pointed out the disadvantages of the Jiupin Official Law, of course, there is still a gap with what Shixun said to Cao Cao - because in the public, he can't say it clearly: This plan is too beneficial to the family, Lao Tzu is a Shu clan, and Lao Tzu doesn't do it!

But this is enough, Cao Cao bowed slightly, turned his face and asked Chen Qun: "What Xiaoxian said, do you think Changwen should be?" ”

Chen Qun was confident and talked eloquently: "Or the group is coarse and sparse, and filial piety is not clear about its true meaning." The reviewers of Zhongzheng are people from a county, regardless of family or single family. Because of its family, conduct, and talent, it may be listed as the top grade, and the single family may be listed as the lower grade. However, today's job is complicated, and the lower products can also be used as county officials, and they must not be left behind. ”

You single family also have the possibility of being an official, I didn't block the road, even if you are rated as a low-grade, you can start from the county officials - I originally wanted to bridge the contradiction between the family and the Shu family, so that they can all be used by the country, not to leave you all behind. If I really wanted to do that, Cao Cao would definitely not be the first to agree.

Mao Jue retorted: "From the small officials, and from filial piety and Maocai, is it similar? The subordinates are all able to do anything, but the chief officials lack real talents, and they are upside down, which is the cause of chaos! This is a bit of a gamble, as if there were no similar drawbacks under the original probation system. Chen Qun also honestly and unceremoniously pushed back: "Who means that those who understand the scriptures and righteousness must not understand the law?" Who means that the family of reciprocal people must have no practical talents? Hongfu and Gongda are their people! ”

Isn't it true that Xun understands both the scriptures and the law? Look at how clever he was at refuting Zhao Da with legal issues last time! Isn't Xun Yu from a family? You say he doesn't know how to practice?

It's Xun Xin who said, alas, why did you suddenly talk about me...... In fact, I am really not familiar with the law, that time I was cramming Buddha feet temporarily, and I did my homework in advance, if I was unprepared to compare my proficiency with Zhao Da on the law, a hundred I would not be the one of those goods!

The two quarreled endlessly, and everyone next to them occasionally interjected a few words, most of them echoed Chen Qun, and almost no one agreed with Mao Jue. Cao Cao deliberately let them discuss for a while, and then waved his hand in time to suppress all the voices: "The long text is far-reaching, and what Xiaoxian said is reasonable...... "First give each a sweet jujube to eat, and then——" What Xiaoxian said, Lone also took into account, but Hongfu studied deeply, and now Hongfu has two strategies to add, or to eliminate the evils. ”

It was Xun Xin who said that it was finally time for me to play, and he coughed at the moment, and first praised Chen Qun: "The long essay on the evaluation of characters, the first talent and then the family background, this is the most deserved." Then he praised Mao Jue: "Filial piety is afraid that Zhongzhong is being bullied by the countryside Yuedan, and he is not too worried." ”

Chen Qun is very cultivated, and he left Mao Jue at the moment, and calmly shook Shixun deeply: "Lingjun must have a clever plan to solve the concerns of filial piety, please Mingjiaoqun and others." ”

Yes Xun said it was simple, Zhongzheng just had to make a rough evaluation first, recommend talents to the country, and then, as Mao Jue said, the country will finally make a final evaluation - "How can the selection department be evaluated?" Xun thought that he should be strict with his examination method. "The final assessment is made through a strict examination.

Mao Jue pouted: "This is also the old ear system!" ”

In fact, the examination system has already appeared in the Qin and Han dynasties, don't think that whether it is filial piety or Maocai recommended by the general inspection system, or what virtuous and square, brave and brave know the art of war, it is up to the recommender to have the final say, and the imperial court does not need to take the exam. It's just that the examination system in the past was very sloppy, and in addition to the two permanent subjects of filial piety and Maocai, most of them were temporary measures.

Therefore, it is a notice to sù Mao Jue, how do I "strictly test the law": "Filial piety and honesty are square, and virtue is also, such as filial piety." There is no way to find out; Maocai and so on. Only. Yes, you can take the exam. I intend to set up five subjects: Ming Jing, Ming Law, Ming Calculation, Drama Governance, and Knowing Soldiers, recommended by the local government, and one or three years old will take an exam. The county is tested by the county, and the official department can be made as the county official; Those who do not want to be officials can be promoted by the county, but they are tested by the selection department, and the officials of the joint form can be made officials of the county and each government. Three years old one review. Those who are extraordinary can be the main officials. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, especially Chen Qun, who felt that you were Hongsuke, who made sense, but...... This is completely two paths with my Jiupin Official Law, so what is the point of me setting up a local election for the Zhongzheng Official Code?

Shi Xun explained in time: "If you want to be filial and honest, and take virtue as the first, there is no way to try, and you can be a straight man." Left and right by the monarch, by the monarch self-evaluation. ”

Chosen by your family. It is estimated that either it is known as a noble character, then take the traditional road of filial piety and honesty, and be the same as Ren Zi and Mengyin, and directly be Langbei; Either you can take the Ming Sutra, and you can still pass the guò exam to enter the office. You want to be with the mud, and I'm also with the mud, but it's just a little bit more cold, open a bigger channel for them, what are you not satisfied with?

After all, there is a system of appointment and shade here, and no one can stop the children of officials from ascending wider than others - this is still the case after 2,000 years - so it is impossible for me to introduce an absolute civil service examination system, and it can be regarded as bowing to reality.

Xun You objected: "I rule the world from Confucianism, and the Ming Jing is different from Beke...... "No, I have to fight for more benefits for the family!"

Shi Xun smiled slightly: "The Ministry of Officials is based on morality, the Ministry of Election is based on scriptures, the Ministry of Etiquette knows etiquette, and the Ministry of Literature and Art is literary and artistic. "I will give you the most critical ministry, the election department, as well as the etiquette department and the cultural department, will it succeed?

When it comes to scripture and literature and art, the family is absolutely confident, because they are rich in resources - the families of the Eastern Han Dynasty are all scholars and scholars, and they have been officials for many generations, and they have countless books, and they can't compare with the poor at all. Although it was Xun who used printing and reopened county schools in various places to make many Hanmen Shu people have access to more resources, after all, the time was still short, and it was not enough to completely break the family's monopoly on high-end knowledge. Therefore, the family is really not afraid of the Jingyi exam, but is afraid of running online with the Shu clan to evaluate practical ability.

After all, people's energy is limited, and after more than ten years of studying the big and inappropriate scriptures in the study, how much time do you have to study practice? You are in charge of the family, like Xun Yu, Xun Chen, Xun Yu and other brothers and nephews? Or like Sima's family, out of "Bada"? Let's just talk about the "Eight Dragons" of the previous generation of the Xun family, how many of them are really capable ministers?

To break the monopoly of the gate valve family on officialdom, the imperial examination system is a big killer, but Shi Xun was stunned at the beginning. One is that he is afraid of too much resistance, and on the other hand, he also feels that with the resources of the current family, even if they are really allowed to take the exam on the same starting line as the Shu clan, they can still have an advantage.

That's why he was so big about Chen Qun's nine-grade official law. If the inspection system of the two Han Dynasty is continued, it will inevitably cause the family to continue to grow, but if it is done according to what Chen Qun said, it is estimated that this trend will not be slowed down much. The problem is that Chen Qun proposed that the system is coming, but Xun can't stop it at all, and once it is passed, it will be impossible to change it in the short term. He had to come up with his own suitable plan in order to suppress Chen Qun.

So is the imperial examination system directly introduced? On the one hand, there is the worry of pulling out the seedlings to help them grow, and on the other hand, there is a ...... If you take the four books and five classics or something, judging from the knowledge popularization process of these years, it must still be the family that has the upper hand!

It wasn't until Guan Si discussed with him the issue of selecting military officials that it dawned on him that my worries were unnecessary. Since the family is not afraid of exams, the introduction of the examination system may not cause much resistance, and it is a big deal that I will let a little more profit out. Because "meritocracy" is Cao Cao's established policy, I follow this policy, and ask for the examination to select talents, and others dare not really go to death. Besides, I can set up more subjects and test more practice, who said that the imperial examination system must be tested in the Four Books and Five Classics? With Jinshike as its top grade, it is also a sign that the imperial examination system has matured to the point of beginning to decline!

That's why he had the courage to persuade Cao Cao today, and then in the name of making up for the shortcomings, he proposed a talent selection plan that was completely different from what Chen Qun thought. Chen Qun really had nothing to say, and even Xun Yu and the others were not able to oppose it completely, so they could only bargain with Shi Xun.

But before the family was fooled, Mao Jue, who represented the interests of the poor family, stopped doing it again: "If there is no such test, or what Zhongzheng has done, there is also a low-grade turbidity, and there is this test, but they don't do it, what can I do?" "If the family has the power to elect, they can really do such a thing!

Shixun smiled "hehe": "This is also easy to do, and you can make the assassin self-recommended." (To be continued......)
