"What was originally an ordinary little thing has become more and more important for various reasons......

Zhu Jingyuan looked at the report sent by Yin Zhou and shook his head helplessly.

The two Changshi Mansions originally only wanted to recruit a group of translators, but now they have become the first authentic imperial examination for the Taixi people.

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while and put the newspaper on the table:

"It can still be a trifle......"

Let the two Changshi Mansions do things according to the original plan, and recruit translators when they should recruit translators, ignoring these media and the public.

By the way, punish and sanction the boss of this fabricated New York Evening News.

Remind them to be cautious in reporting Daming-related matters in the future.

But it can also be treated as a big deal......

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he simply held a imperial examination for the Taixi people in Dongyi State.

Really issue a "student" certificate to those who have passed the assessment, that is, to give the identity of the so-called Xiucai to the folk.

Of course, the scope of use of the issued certificates is still limited to the territory of Dongyi State.

And the rights they have should also be adjusted according to the actual situation of Dongyi Kingdom.

It is not possible to directly copy the imperial examinations of other feudal states.

The imperial examinations of other vassal states were either for the Ming immigrants, or for the Yin and Hu people, who had been completely naturalized.

Of course, the Tessies couldn't have been in the same gear as them.

However, the range of people who can participate in the test may not be limited to the Dongyi country itself.

The Americans next door and even the Canadians can come and take the test.

The actual purpose of this examination was changed from recruiting translators to screening "collaborators".

Born in the United States, he was willing to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to rule and manage the land and population of Dongyi Kingdom.

It is best if the other party has some influence in the United States, or has the ability to form an influence.

It is better to have an intellectual with a relatively high level of education.

In addition, the goal of recruiting translators is still included, and Taixi's Daming collaborators must at least understand Daming Yayan.

Therefore, the way of the exam can be directly used with the pure Ming test paper.

If you can't even read the test paper of Daming Yayan, then of course you are not qualified to pass the exam.

Thinking so in his heart, Zhu Jingyuan personally wrote a response:

"You can hold a simple imperial examination, using the test papers of Daming Primary School to middle school, the test papers of middle school to university, and the imperial examination papers of the county examination, which are divided into three exams.

"If you can pass the imperial examination of the county examination, you can issue a certificate of Dongyi State as appropriate, and hire him to become a grassroots official of the Ming Dongyi State.

"The rest of the students with excellent grades can also be hired as translators as appropriate.

"However, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that if the candidates from Taixi are useless in the content of the articles written in the exam, they belittle the Taixi civilization and culture, and at the same time highly respect the culture and system of the Ming Dynasty, if they have excellent other grades, they can also be admitted, but they should not be given the best grades, nor should they be allowed to serve as key positions and officials close to the people.

"Because this kind of person who despises his origin from the root, it is difficult to see the characteristics of the ethnic group from which he is born, and it is difficult to provide effective advice for the Ming Dynasty to rule the local Taixi people.

"If the candidates themselves respect the Ming culture, are good at exploring the relationship between the modern literature and art of Taixi and the Ming culture, can find the practical merits of the Taixi culture, and connect it with the cultural influence of the Ming Dynasty, and advocate that the candidates of Taixi should continue to study the Ming Dynasty, their scores can be improved accordingly.

"Only the Taixi people who truly understand the culture and characteristics of the Taixi people, and are also willing to cooperate with and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, are the best candidates for the grassroots officials of the Ming vassal state, which is dominated by the Taixi people.

"Candidates can come from the whole of Yinzhou or even Taixi itself, as long as they know the Ming Yayan, they can take the exam, but all actual positions are given priority to candidates from the Long Island area.

"Candidates from outside the Long Island area have very good conditions, and they can give priority to applying for the right of abode and national status in Dongyi Country.

"Due to the special situation, the starting point of the Taixi people in Dongyi can be unified as a translation.

"Finally, I would like to privately warn the relevant personnel of the New York Post and other newspapers that any decree issued by Dongyi Kingdom in the future shall not be over-interpreted without an official announcement from the Ming Dynasty.

"Otherwise, the newspaper offices on Long Island will be seized, and any relevant institutions will be banned from directly reporting on Daming-related affairs, and stakeholders will be sanctioned in all Daming-controlled areas."

Zhu Jingyuan's suggestions and requests were sent to Yinzhou.

Liu Ruizhi and Ruan Yuan, the two governors of Dongyi, sighed leisurely when they looked at this suggestion.

I really want to hold a "county test" directly.

This big food prince will really arrange work for him.

The point is, this New York Post is the culprit.

Blind reporting and propaganda have turned the recruitment of translators into imperial examinations.

However, the two also understood that holding the imperial examination was actually a very important and useful means of controlling a place.

Recruit competent people into the bureaucracy, give capable people a normal upward path, and at the same time get enough bureaucrats.

In Dongyi, a place dominated by Xiyi, it can also reduce the resistance of ordinary people to the Ming Dynasty.

So the two of them immediately took the existing bureaucratic team and immediately began to solemnly and seriously organize this imperial examination.

In order to make the most basic preparations for the test organizers and candidates, in order to make the test as fair as possible.

In order to allow as many people as possible to participate, all the subordinate counties have the opportunity to participate as much as possible.

The exam was scheduled for two months later to be held simultaneously in Linn and Wilmington.

Except for the people of the Dongyi Peninsula who take the test in Wilmington, candidates outside the Dongyi country have to go to Linxian County to register for the test.

Before the official imperial examination, some available translators were recruited through informal means.

At the same time, the content of the exam was announced, and the test was directly based on Zhu Jingyuan's meaning, using the three levels of Daming's test papers.

Again, the news spread quickly through the media.

However, the newspaper staff in New York received a direct warning from Daming, and this time they all learned it directly.

First, I asked the town hall directly, and then I went to write a newspaper manuscript.

The big newspapers were actually willing to make this kind of request, which was equivalent to having a reason to directly ask the officials of the Dongyi Governor's Office for policy interpretation.

The tabloid is originally picking up second-hand news, and it doesn't matter how the second-hand news comes from.

"All Taixi and Yinzhou people can participate in this imperial examination in Dongyi Kingdom! 》

"Starting from the translation, the Taixi people will have the opportunity to become official civil servants in Dongyi Kingdom!" 》

Absolutely Authentic! The imperial examination will be completely in Daming Yayan, and the Daming domestic test papers will be directly used! 》

New! The Daming Imperial Examination Question Collection is listed! 》

"Two months countdown to the imperial examination! 》

Forty-six-year-old James Roosevelt, holding a newspaper and a wad of pounds, placed it in front of his eldest son, Isaac Roosevelt, who was sixteen years old:

"The imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty has been confirmed, and there are still two months to go, you should hurry up and prepare, buy some special materials and study it well......"

Isaac frowned and said:

"I don't really want to be in politics, I don't want to be a civil servant, and my father doesn't want to......

James shook his head and said:

"The 'shengren' of the Ming Dynasty does not have to be a civil servant, and the 'shengren' or commonly known as the 'Xiucai' is actually similar to an honorary title, similar to the bachelor or lord of Taixi.

"Obtaining this title is a prerequisite for becoming a Ming official, but it is not necessary to become an official if you get a title.

"If you can get the honorary title of the subject state of the Ming Dynasty, it will be very beneficial to most of your careers."

At this moment, Isaac was taken aback:

"You mean that in Daming, you can become a nobleman as long as you pass the exam?"

James laughed and said:

"So you still need to learn that since the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, the Shenzhou Empire has passed exams to select nobles and officials, which is an important force for them to maintain a huge territory.

"Now the Ming Dynasty is that all officials have to pass the exam, and the 'shengyuan' is equivalent to a lord, and can only serve as a prefect below the county level, and he must continue to take the 'lifting people' fame, or the status of a baron, in order to serve as a governor at the state level.

"Continue to obtain a higher 'Jinshi' reputation and obtain a status similar to that of an earl, so that you can have the opportunity to become a provincial official or even a cabinet member of the Ming Dynasty.

"Even if you are a nobleman with a traditional title, you have to pass an exam to become an official or even inherit a title.

"So, do you want to get an honorary title of a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?"

Isaac nodded without hesitation:

"Of course I would like to be able to get this kind of title......"

James patted the newspaper and money in front of his son:

"Then hurry up and study, you have two months to prepare."

At the same time, in the southeast corner of Linxian County, which has just been renamed, there is a rather elegant and small oriental-style garden.

Earl John Murray Dunmore, the former governor of New York, brought a newspaper and materials to see Macartney.

Macartney was sixty-nine years old, and in his original history, he had never served as the colonial governor of Yinzhou.

He was qualified enough to serve as governor at a time when the United States was already beginning to gain independence.

But in this life, he had this opportunity, and after retirement, he chose to retire in Long Island Lin County.

The Earl of Dunmore, who also served as the governor of New York and is 74 years old this year, is also retired on Long Island.

Because of their identities, the relationship between the two is not bad.

Macartney sat in his rocking chair, took the newspaper handed over by the Earl of Dunmore, opened it, read it cursory for a while, and then said with regret:

"I really want to try it, but my body is really not good, and I don't have a chance to get the honorary title of the Ming Domain."

Dunmore sat down in the rocking chair next to Macartney, shook the chair slightly, sighed, and said:

"We're coming to the end of our lives, and we don't know how long we'll live if we don't attend.

"Why don't you go and join in the fun, the place where the exam is in Brooklyn anyway...... Oh, it should be called Linn County by now.

"And I heard that the white-haired old man and the child entered the examination room together, which is also a wonder in Daming.

"Even if we don't have a chance to get in this time, we can go to the scene."

Macartney was silent as he listened, and although he was younger, he was in worse health than Dunmore.

The scene was quiet for a long time, and Macartney suddenly coughed heavily, and then struggled to staggered to his feet:

"Then let's try it together......"
