Xiong Wencan was sure that this trip would be successful, so he brought the official uniform and official seal.

Naturally, everything is simple, otherwise you have to send eunuchs, pedestrians or brocade guards to announce the decree.

It's a pity that the official uniform is also a little simple, Zhao Han couldn't help but complain: "Is this sure that I won't go to the court?" There is only one set of official uniforms. ”

The official uniform is the work clothes of officials, which are generally only worn when they are on duty. Its overall shape can refer to the costumes of Song Dynasty officials in film and television dramas, and the hats have long and thin wings.

For formal occasions such as sacrifices, court meetings, and sutra feasts, there are special court clothes.

As for the "Manchu Dynasty Beasts" and short-winged black gauze hats, they belong to the regular clothes of officials, and they can be sewn by themselves. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the regular clothes were so chaotic that the sixth-rank military generals dared to wear the first-grade regular clothes, and no one wore the regular uniforms of the military attachés below the fifth rank.

Xiong Wencan said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhao enters Beijing to meet him, he will send a set of court clothes at that time." ”

"I'm afraid the emperor won't dare to let me go." Zhao Han threw the official seal to the secretary, this thing is useful at a critical time.

Xiong Wencan didn't dare to answer this, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Now that thieves are everywhere, if you enter Jiangxi one day, I hope that Mr. Zhao will put state affairs first." ”

Zhao Han said without hesitation: "This is natural, as long as the thieves dare to come to Jiangxi, I will kill as many as they come!" ”

"In this way, it depends on Mr. Zhao." Xiong Wencan hugged his fists and thanked him.

Yang Sichang set the policy of "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net", and Jiangxi also belongs to one of them. Assisting in the suppression of thieves is nonsense, as long as you don't let the rogue jump into Jiangxi, Xiong Wencan, the governor of Jiangxi, is qualified.

After getting the big thing, Xiong Wencan was in a good mood and felt that he had come to the right place.

With Zhao Han's calm forbearance, he will definitely be able to keep his promise and will not attack the city indiscriminately to attract the attention of the court. And with Zhao Han sitting in Jiangxi, he can also guard against the invasion of the rogues, Xiong Wencan has nothing to fear.

The only terrible thing is that Chongzhen felt that Xiong Wencan was particularly capable, and transferred him to the north as a governor to exterminate the thieves......

Zhao Han and Xiong Wencan had the intention of seeing each other late, and even sent them to the dock in person.

After the warship sailed through Jishui County, Zhu Guoxun finally relaxed and asked, "Fu Shuai, this Zhao thief really won't rebel?" ”

"Don't call Zhao thief again," Xiong Wencan reminded, "Since you have already recruited An, you are a minister of the same dynasty." If it is replaced by other rebels, it must not be believed, but Zhao Yan will not rebel. ”

Zhu Guoxun was puzzled: "Why is this so?" ”

Xiong Wencan asked rhetorically: "Has Zheng Zhilong rebelled?" ”

Zhu Guoxun and Zheng Zhilong have been fighting pirates together for several years, so they naturally know very well: "Zheng Zhilong is not a fool, after he recruited An, he has an official status and is no longer requisitioned by the imperial court." He can also work with officers and soldiers to conquer other pirates and lay down the territory. Zheng Zhilong had no reason to rebel at all. ”

"Zhao Yan is the same." Xiong Wencan said with a smile.

Zhu Guoxun thought about it carefully, and then suddenly realized that it was exactly the same!

The difference between Zhao Han and Zheng Zhilong is that one is at sea and the other is on land. As long as the sea is also counted as a territory, isn't Zheng Zhilong Zhao Han?

Zhu Guoxun felt that he had learned again, and hurriedly said: "Mr.'s teachings have made the humble position suddenly open, and he will be of infinite use in this life." ”

However, it was said that Zhao Han returned to the General Military Mansion and immediately convened several core officials to discuss the matter.

"Next year's development plan," Zhao Han said straight to the point, "First, bring back the Nangan county occupied by Tian Bing, and control the southern water and land arteries; Second, the work of the peasant associations in the southern Jiangxi counties must not be impatient and must be pushed forward slowly; third, to expand the peasant association in the north to the entire Nanchang Prefecture; Fourth, the new peasant association organization should be developed in Fuzhou Prefecture; Fifth, the road in the mountains continues to be excavated; Sixth, to encourage the development of industry and commerce, we cannot only rely on the support of the field; Seventh, you should take a look at this outline for the development of culture and education. ”

The outline of education reform was circulated in the conference room, and all officials, including Pang Chunlai, were confused.

Zuo Xiaoliang asked: "Let Xiucai, lift people, and go to primary school again, I am afraid that this will cause disgust among scholars." ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "It's not really that they go to primary school, they can study at home by themselves, and if they pass the exam, they will be considered to have graduated from primary school." Moreover, I don't recognize their fame, and it's not that I don't want them to be officials. It is not possible for all of you here to go back to elementary school. However, it must be explained that those who have completed elementary and middle school will be promoted faster in the future! ”

"Is the town going to abolish the imperial examination?" Li Banghua asked.

"How can it be abolished?" Zhao Han explained, "The current method is only suitable for a small area. In the future, when the territory is larger, the imperial examination will definitely be resumed. My idea is this, a scholar, after graduating from primary school and then from middle school, can participate in the imperial examination, which is equivalent to today's Taoist examination. If you are admitted to the entrance examination, you will be a talent. If it is a school, or a county-level yamen, when there is a vacancy in the position, the county can organize a public examination, and you can participate in it if you have a talent and fame. How many officials and teachers are lacking, how many talents will be admitted, instead of admitting a bunch of talents waiting to be officials. ”

In fact, it is the county-level civil service examination, and the school recruits teachers.

Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua glanced at each other, thinking about the pros and cons.

If you show your talent and fame, you can participate in the public examination, but I am afraid it may not be popular. Because the so-called civil servants are actually ancient officials, and most scholars look down on officials!

Pang Chun voiced this concern.

Zhao Han said with a smile: "There are no scholars or soap officials, as long as they have outstanding political achievements, they can always be promoted." The scholars looked down on the officials, firstly, the scribes could not be promoted, and secondly, the soap officials were really lowly servants. As long as you can continue to be promoted, I am afraid that there will be countless talents vying to become officials. Isn't that the case today? It is the Ming Dynasty, under my rule, they are willing to start as officials. ”

Xiao Huan asked, "The same is true for lifting people and jinshi?" ”

"Yes," Zhao Han nodded and said, "Whether it is a talent, a lifter, or a jinshi, I will not give any preferential exemptions, and I will not directly release the official if I am admitted to the jinshi." Eligible to participate in the provincial public examination, according to the public examination ranking and the actual official vacancy, they can directly serve as a minor official of the government office, and can serve as a county-level assistant second official at the highest level. ”

"Aren't you an official in a different place?" Li Banghua suddenly interjected.

Zhao Han said: "You must be an official in a different place, but in a different place in the province, as long as you cross the government, it is too unkind to be a petty official across the province." Of course, after being promoted to the rank of chief officer, you must be transferred across provinces. ”

"Where's Jinshi?" Li Ke asked.

Zhao Han said: "Jinshi is eligible to take public examinations at any level across the country. However, you still can't directly be an official of the seventh rank and above, and you must first be an adjutant to exercise your ability. If you are promoted to the seventh rank in the center, you must be sent out to the county for training, don't think that you can always be a Beijing official if you are admitted to the Jinshi. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt sad for the future scholars, so to what extent?

But don't you roll it?

Especially in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, although Jinshi could be officials, many of them were just idle positions without power and power.

This kind of Beijing official mix is very miserable, the price of the capital is already expensive, and you have to rent a house to live in yourself, and you can't afford to eat and get a card. It's hard to live on that dead wage, and it's hard to support yourself, and I don't know when I can get it reused.

And Zhao Han's reform is that Xiucai, Renren, and Jinshi are equivalent to a kind of academic qualifications, and they are eligible to participate in public examinations at various levels.

How many positions are vacant in the government, and a few people will be recruited in the public examination, and what should I do if I am not selected.

You can find other jobs first and wait for the next public examination, without delaying the court or yourself.

Zhao Han said: "After the unification of the world, if there are too many scholars waiting to be officials, an age limit should also be set. The seventh-grade official must be a member at the age of 60, the fifth-grade official must be a member at the age of sixty-five, and the third-grade official must be a member at the age of seventy. If you are over 35 years old, you will not be allowed to take the examination again! ”

All this is to avoid redundant officials and redundant personnel.

As long as you sit on the dragon chair, the reader is very adaptable, don't go too far.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, who once abolished the imperial examination for ten years, what else can the world's scholars do except scold a few words? Later, the imperial examination system was restored, and it was not scolded by scholars, but corrected by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

The reason was that Zhu Yuanzhang found that there were shortcomings in the imperial examination, and the selected officials had no experience and could not do anything. Therefore, the imperial examination was abolished and the recommendation system was introduced, and the recommended officials could do things as soon as they took office, which was tantamount to handing over the responsibility of training officials to society.

Who knows that the recommendation system is not as good as the imperial examination, first of all, the officials who are recommended are uneven, and secondly, there are a lot of nepotism.

Zhu Yuanzhang tried to reform the recommendation system, but it was useless to change it, and finally restored the imperial examination system.

As long as the imperial examination is not abolished, Zhao Han can come from his own ideas.

Li Banghua asked: "In the future, when the department is opened, the examination of Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi, those "Mathematics" and "Geometry" will also be added?" ”

Chongzhen has officially ordered the imperial examinations at the township examination and the meeting examination, and added the art of war and strategy.

Chongzhen, the last emperor, can be, why can't Zhao Han be the founding emperor in the future?

However, the marking system must be changed.

At this time, the Ming imperial examination was purely based on eight shares, and the examiner only valued the eight shares, that is, the content of the four books and five classics. Other official writing, case adjudication, the art of war, etc., are all discretionary pluses. Although I also have to take the test, if I take the test, I don't take the test. As long as you have a good eight-strand essay, you can hand in blank papers in several other exams.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "That's how I imagined it. The first test is eight shares, with a full score of 100. In the second test, Kumon and Law were examined, with a full score of 100. In the third test, mathematics and geometry were tested, with a full score of 100. In the fourth test, the Datong theory was tested, with a full score of 50. A total of 350 points, ranked by score. ”

After asking clearly, no one objected.

Li Banghua, who was born as a jinshi, did not object, because the content of the imperial examinations in the past dynasties had been constantly adjusted.

Don't look at ancient times as too rigid and rigid, the Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty even used the credit system all the time. There are monthly exams every month, and there are annual exams every year, and you can be promoted to a higher class if you complete the number of credits. After completing all the credits, you can graduate from Guozijian.

As for Zhao Han said, there is no need to copy Zhu Xi's remarks, then there is no problem.

Because after the rise of Yangming Xinxue, Baguwen deviated from Zhu Xi in various ways. Some candidates will even study the examiner's preferences and first investigate which school the examiner is, and then choose whether to study hard or write an essay with science. Science is not Zhu Xi's, but a new science that emerged in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Han said so much, just to make it clear in advance, because the education system will be officially adjusted next year.

As for the reform of the imperial examination, it will be implemented after Chongzhen's death.

(Thank you for the reward from the leader of the Wind NJ, and ask for a monthly pass by the way.) )
