Chapter 852: How to Select Officials
The root cause of a qiē is because the supervision is too poor, in the final analysis, the reason is because of the speed of official selection, not more than the speed of expansion, in fact, it can be said that Ding Yuan actually had to stop expanding, after all, the current territory has reached the point where the military generals of the Three Kingdoms must assist in control, in fact, it has reached the limit of the regime system, if there are not enough officials, it can be said that the situation is too dangerous!
By now, the people in the Chelong Kingdom at the beginning have actually become officials one by one, after all, the current Chelong Country alone is more than 100,000 central ministers, and the local officials have already exceeded the 10 billion mark, but this is still too little, far from enough to create an efficient country, the proportion of officials is only 1/10,000, and this even includes township officials, which can be imagined in this efficient place.
Because of this, many half-hangers who have to be used as assistants to village officials are actually a kind of imbalance of strictness, if Ding Yuan does not stop and forcibly expand, then it is estimated that it may be really dangerous, after all, even if the army is invincible, if there is no solid foundation, that is, it is just a flower in the mirror, not to mention that among the regions of these five counties, Ding Yuan's country is not too strong, and there is a huge gap, and the Heavenly Spirit Empire is the overlord in this regard, The overall army has 100 billion, more than the population of Chelong Country, and the main army above the Dou Emperor level also has more than 30 trillion, while Chelong Country only has 200 billion, a gap of 100 times. And above the main force, the Heavenly Spirit Empire has an even more powerful army, which adds up. The scale is not small, it can be said that if the Heavenly Spirit Empire is not contained by the other two empires, and the Dragon Kingdom has the danger of the Heavenly Pass, it can be said that the gap in strength is too great, and the generals of the Three Kingdoms are also powerless.
If you don't lay a solid foundation and rush to conquer the city, then you will only drag down the Dragon Kingdom. This may also be the reason why Ding Yuan insisted on being stable for at least three years!
Although he may not be able to see this, the years of life as a king have made him subconscious. Already somewhat aware of this problem.
Therefore, Ding Yuancai will ignore the attachment in his heart, look for the attachment that can relieve him of the cursed woman Liu Qimeng, and suppress the strong desire for the heir in his heart, so he chooses. Slowly develop the dragon kingdom. Once the foundation has been consolidated, it is necessary to make further choices.
At this time, Ding Yuan also received the information, and he knew the causes and consequences of a qiē well, and Ding Yuan at this time was undoubtedly extremely excited, because now he finally saw the situation he wanted. Xun Yu really wanted to deal with those merchant alliances with iron and blood, which he had been looking forward to all along.
Xun Yu can finally be ruthless. If these businessmen don't control it, then they are man-eating devils, and they can't be ruthless! ”
Ding Yuan sneered in his heart, he already knew what these businessmen were, and naturally knew that he shouldn't be thinking about making peace with these illegal businessmen at all!
"If there is a 10% profit, the merchant is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a 20% profit, the merchant becomes active; With a 50% profit, the businessman takes a risk; For the sake of 100% profit, businessmen dare to trample on the laws of the world; With a 300% profit, a businessman dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging. "If there is a 10% profit, the merchant is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a 20% profit, the merchant becomes active; With a 50% profit, the businessman takes a risk; For the sake of 100% profit, businessmen dare to trample on the laws of the world; With a 300% profit, a businessman dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging. ”
This is Ding Yuan's idea, of course, to replace the words of some celebrities in his previous life, and to apply those capitalists to these businessmen, in fact, it is extremely appropriate, they are all the same essence!
And Ding Yuan naturally needs to supervise these people, and it is a crime to be unable to control the capital, and the businessmen who cannot control it are irresponsible to the country!
"But the point now is that it is still extremely difficult to supervise them, and there is still too little lack of officials, which makes these people have the soil to break the law, so now it seems that the most important thing is to choose a way to select officials!"
Ding Yuan thought in his heart that his previous choice was to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, similar to the gap filial piety in ancient times, but based on the recommendation system, which met the development needs of Che Longguo at that time, but for now, it is a little too backward.
"It's better to implement the imperial examination, maybe it's a good choice!"
Suddenly, Ding Yuan thought of the imperial examination system that only appeared in the Sui Dynasty, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he also recalled the benefits of the imperial examination system.
The imperial examination is a system in which officials are selected through examinations. It was an important political system in ancient China, which had a great impact on Chinese society and culture, and directly gave birth to the class of "scholars" who were born by examinations, regardless of their family rank. Asian countries close to China, such as Vietnam, Japan, and North Korea, have also introduced this system to select talent. The imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty in 605, developed and took shape in the Tang Dynasty, and continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty, when it was abolished in 1905; In Vietnam, it was abolished in 1919, the last year of the Nguyen Dynasty, and lasted for more than 1,300 years. The selection system of civil servants in modern society also indirectly evolved from the imperial examination system.
The imperial examination was a system that lasted from the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Qing Dynasty for more than 1,300 years, and the feudal dynasty selected civil and military officials and reserve personnel by subject. The system of selecting officials under the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, which was previously adopted by the Sui Dynasty, prevented ordinary people from poor backgrounds from entering official careers, and the Sui Dynasty began to change to the imperial examination system, so that any participant had the opportunity to become an official. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examination gradually became ossified, known as Baguwen, and was abolished in the early 20th century.
The imperial examination system in ancient China first originated in the Sui Dynasty. After the Sui Dynasty unified the whole country, in order to adapt to the development and changes of the feudal economy and the relationship between the government, in order to expand the requirements of the feudal ruling class to participate in the political power, and to strengthen the centralization of power, the power to select officials was transferred to the central government, and the imperial examination system was used to replace the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened the Jinshi course in the third year of the Great Cause, and used the examination method to select the Jinshi. The term jinshi was first used in the Book of Rites. The original meaning of the "royal system" is that you can enter the righteousness of the lord. At that time, the main test was the political policy, which was a political essay on the political life of the country at that time, which was called a trial policy. Although this method of selecting scholars by subject and using trial strategies to select scholars was not a system at that time, it closely integrated studying, taking examinations, and serving as officials, thus opening a new page in the history of China's elections. Shen Jiji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, had a pertinent evaluation of this historic change: "The previous generation was selected, and the county of the prefecture was inspected...... As for Qi Sui, it is overwhelmed...... It is to dispose of the power of the state capital and return to the Ministry of Officials. Since the Sui Dynasty boycotted the external election, recruited people from all over the world, gathered in Beijing in spring and autumn, and gathered in the clouds. ‘
The imperial examination in ancient China originated from the Sui Dynasty, and the imperial examination was named after the selection of scholars by subject, and it was a system for selecting officials for various generations after the Sui Dynasty. During the two Jin Dynasty, the imperial court had adopted the method of examination and recruitment for the filial piety and talent raised. After Emperor Wen of Sui ascended the throne, he abolished the nine-product Zhongzheng system monopolized by the family in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and set up two departments in the seventh year of the emperor's reign (587). In the second year of Emperor Yang's great cause (606), the "Jinshi Branch" was set up to try to obtain scholars. Tang because of the Sui system, divided into two kinds of regular and system lifting, Wu Zetian created the palace test and martial arts. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, poetry became the main content of the examination.
The imperial examination of the Ming and Qing dynasties was divided into four levels, the lowest level was called the hospital examination, which was invigilated by the governors of the prefecture, prefecture and county. The next level is the examination, which is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the one who obtains the examination is called Gongshi, and if you can pass this pass, you are eligible to participate in the highest level of examination, that is, the palace examination. The palace examination is also called the court examination, which is presided over by the emperor himself. Anyone who can pass the guò palace test can at least get a jinshi. If anyone is lucky enough to win the first place in the examination, he will not only get high-ranking officials, but also become famous all over the world. However, their fame and fortune are all pulled out of the Bagu text, as for whether they have real talent and real learning, it is not necessarily.
After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty inherited the talent selection system handed down from the Sui Dynasty and made further improvements. As a result, the imperial examination system was gradually completed. In the Tang Dynasty, the subjects of the examination were divided into two categories: regular subjects and system subjects. The annual periodical examination is called the regular department, and the examination held temporarily by the emperor's edict is called the system department.
There are more than 50 kinds of subjects in the regular course, such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Ming Law, Ming Zi, Ming Calculation, etc. Among them, the subjects of Ming Law, Ming Calculation, and Ming Characters are not taken seriously. Junshi and other subjects are not held often, and Xiucai is a subject, which was very demanding in the early Tang Dynasty, and later gradually abandoned. Therefore, the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi became the main subjects of the Tang Dynasty. After Tang Gaozong, Jinshike was especially important to the people. Many of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were mostly Jinshi backgrounds. There are two sources for candidates in the regular course, one is a student and the other is a village tribute. Born from the Jingshi and the state and county schools, and sent to Shangshu Province, the subjects are called apprentices; Those who do not pass the state and county examinations by the school hall first, and then send them to Shangshu Province to take the examination are called Xianggong. Those who enter Beijing from the township tribute are generally called lifters. The state and county examinations are called the Jiekao, and the examinations in Shangshu Province are commonly known as the provincial examinations, or the Ministry of Rites examinations. The Ministry of Rites Examination is held in the spring, so it is also called Chunqiu, which is also the meaning of the examination room.
Thinking of the development of the imperial examination, Ding Yuan was a little worried in his heart, after all, the imperial examination is an advanced selection system, there is no doubt about it, but it is also a double-edged sword, if the content of the imperial examination is not selected well, then it is likely to evolve into the form of eight-strand literature, and the examination for the sake of the examination is a drawback.
Therefore, for a while, he did not directly confirm whether to use the imperial examination to select officials!
"Is there anything else that can be done?"
Ding Yuan thought in his heart that the selection of officials seemed to be becoming more and more important now, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all! (To be continued......)
