Inside the study.

"Bin'er, do you know what you're talking about?"

After a long time, Cao Cao came back to his senses, looked at Cao Bin fixedly, and asked.

"Today's study, if I hear the slightest wind outside, you should know that I am holding a sharp blade."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Xu Chu beside him, and his eyes were murderous.

He didn't expect that this grandson would be so bold and openly say that he would abolish the probation system.

Cao Cao was quite relieved, because he had been labeled as a eunuch since he was born, and he had no chance with Chaju.

But he had to rely on scholars and officials from Chaju to help him govern the world.

Therefore, no matter how bad the probation system is, he can only pinch his nose and acquiesce in its existence.

If today's conversation is spread, then his eldest grandson will inevitably be hated by all the great families in the world.

As a result, Cao Bin's future future will be greatly affected.

"Lord Mingjian, I have been dealing with official business today and have never left the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Xu Chu glanced at each other and immediately assured Cao Cao.

After listening to Cao Bin's eloquent talk, Jia Xu rekindled hope in his heart.

"Wang'er waits for it."

Cao Cao warned again.

"Father, your grandson knows your worries, but your grandson himself doesn't know about it."

Looking at Lao Cao's movements, Cao Bin understood in his heart that this cheap grandfather was thinking about him.

Immediately, his good impression of Lao Cao rose to a stage and recognized this cheap grandfather.

Although Lao Cao has many shortcomings, he has nothing to say about his children and grandchildren.

"Father, after nearly four hundred years, the inspection system has become the private plaything of the clans, and the scholars of the poor family and the low-level civilians cannot reach it at all."

Standing up, Cao Bin took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it over, saying, "In order to solve this problem, Sun Er meditated hard and wrote down this method, you can take a look at it first." ”

The title of the book, "On the Disadvantages of the Examination System and the Detailed Explanation of the Imperial Examination System"!

Previously, Cao Bin did not know his identity.

He also thought that if he really couldn't do it, he would pass on the book to future generations, and leave it for future generations to ascend to the ranks.

never thought that he would become Lao Cao's grandson.

In this way, this book will be directly read by Lao Cao.

"Okay, Father, let's take a look first."

Cao Cao did not refuse, after all, this was the hard work of the eldest grandson.

No matter how naïve the idea of abolishing the probation system is, it deserves his attention.

After taking the book, he began to read it.

The origin and development process of the probation system were stated earlier, as well as the various drawbacks that have appeared today, and Cao Cao knew it well.

But he didn't skip it directly, but looked at it carefully.

At the beginning of the establishment of the probationary system, it was extremely beneficial to the stability of the world and the rule of the dynasty.

First, at the beginning of the establishment of the probation system, an individual's social background and family background were no longer the only basis for selecting non-commissioned officers and appointing officials. As long as a local scholar has real talent and learning, has a certain degree of social prestige, or has a commendable moral character, he may become the target of inspection and thus ascend to the official career.

Second, the probation system is conducive to recruiting all kinds of talents. There are many subjects for inspection, including filial piety, show talent, Ming Jing, Ming Law, virtuous and square, outspoken and extremely admonished, filial piety and Li Tian, and so on, and let the governors of prefectures and counties who are familiar with the local situation personally serve as inspectors, and select scholars and officials for all kinds of talents as the objects of inspection, which is undoubtedly conducive to the rule of the dynasty.

Third, the probationary system is conducive to the centralization of power, under which the power of probation is delegated to the localities, the power to appoint and dismiss officials is ultimately in the hands of the central authorities, and the central authorities can still appoint officials freely.

Fourth, at the beginning of the implementation of the probation system, the quality of the probationed person can generally be guaranteed. The person under probation has a one-year term, and only those who are competent can be converted to full officials. If they are not qualified, they will be replaced, and the recommender will also be punished for this, which makes the examiner dare not recommend a scholar casually, and the benefits are self-evident.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages to everything, and although the probation system has many advantages, it also has its serious drawbacks.

First, under the probation system, although there are many subjects for probation, the world is so big that it is impossible to recommend all the sages to the imperial court, and there are still many unknown talents who are buried in the countryside and have not been appointed for life, resulting in the loss and waste of talents.

Second, the examination of the moral character of scholars is the premise of the probation system, but it is difficult to make a fair evaluation of the moral character of people. A person's moral character can only be evaluated objectively through a long-term examination of his words and deeds, and such words and deeds may be fraudulent or degenerate in the future.

Third, the probation system has been widely implemented, and the local township has a style of evaluation because of it.

Fourth, at this time, the drawbacks of the probationary system are becoming more and more serious. The local suffrage was controlled by ministers and prominent families, who often recommended the children of prestigious families to serve as judges, regardless of their academic quality, so that the scope of probation became narrower and narrower, and most of the people who were inspected did not live up to their names. There was even a bureaucratic gate valve group of [Four Worlds and Three Princes], [Successive Ministers], and [Successive Classics].

[Ju Mao Cai doesn't know the book, Cha Xiaolian's father doesn't live in the house, Han Su is as white as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken. 】

[The world is in a high position, handsome and subordinate. 】

By this time, the probationary system had become a hereditary system in disguise, and it had become a tool for those ministers to maintain their power and maintain their privileges.

"Yes, there is something to say, and there is reason in what you say!"

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but nod his head and agreed with the remarks in the book.

He continued to read, followed by a detailed explanation of the imperial examination system.

Its full name is [Open and transparent dynasty unified examination system held in multiple subjects], referred to as the imperial examination system.

It is written in the book that for the sake of the country's talents, it should not be limited to status, men, women and children.

As long as there are real scholars, they can participate in the examinations held by the imperial court.

The examination subjects are divided into Ming Jing, Ming Calculation, Ming Law, Ming Wu, Ming Medicine, Ming Gong, Ming Nong... and so on.

Ming Jing, that is, Confucian classics; Clear, arithmetic; Ming Wu, then cavalry shooting, Wu Tao, etc.; Ming doctor, then medical skills; Minggong, then engineering; Ming Nong, then the examination of agriculture;

Applicants can choose one or more subjects.

The steps of the imperial examination include five county examinations, county examinations, state examinations, general examinations and palace examinations.

The county examination was held in the county, the county examination was held in the county, the state examination was held in the prefecture, the general examination was held in the capital, and the palace examination was held by the emperor himself.

First of all, the county examination is held by the county magistrate, and the students are vague and referenced, and the best ones are admitted, and the candidates are children.

Only after obtaining the status of a child can they be eligible to sit for the next four exams.

Subsequently, there was a county examination held by each county, and children from all counties in the county gathered together to select the best, and the candidates were talented.

Then there is the state examination held by each state, and the talents of all counties and counties in the state take the exam together, and the winner of the test is lifted.

Then there were people from all over the world who rushed to the capital to participate in the examination held by the imperial court and the palace examination held by the emperor himself.

Among them, the general examination is a decisive examination, and admission is based on merit.

The palace examination only determines the ranking of candidates, and there is no problem of being dethroned.

Those who are selected in the general examination can be jinshi, and the palace examination will determine the best among them.

The palace test determines the top three: the first is the first to give the jinshi and the first, only the top three are selected, which are the champion, the list eye, and the tanhua, collectively known as the three tripod armor; The second class gave a number of people to be born as scholars, and the first name was passed on; The top three gave a number of people to be born in the same jinshi.

After the emperor held the palace examination, the jinshi became the protégés of the Son of Heaven, which was used to deepen the relationship between the jinshi and the emperor and increase the sense of honor and belonging of the jinshi.

After the palace examination, the whole imperial examination process is over.

However, those who do not pass the test can refer to it again in the next year until they fail to pass the test.

According to the ranking of the palace examination and its subjects, the imperial court can grant the jinshi their respective official positions and formulate different salaries.

"Regardless of family background, regardless of background, both the common and the poor can participate, and those who are the best are admitted and conferred officials..."

After reading the whole book, Cao Cao's mind was still immersed in the blueprint of the imperial examination system depicted in the book, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

Lao Cao's background is barely a disciple of the poor family, and he has always been despised by those big families.

Therefore, after seeing the detailed explanation of the imperial examination system written by Cao Bin, Cao Cao was very shocked.

He closed his eyes and quickly calculated the pros and cons of such a system in his mind.

The advantages are obvious, this method can completely break the monopoly of the upper class of the family, so that the poor scholars and commoners also have the opportunity to become famous and change their own destiny.

Moreover, it can also attract talents, so that all talents can be left behind, and people can make the best use of them, quickly improve national strength, stabilize the situation of the court, further centralize power, and strengthen the rule of imperial power.

There are also many drawbacks, and this move is bound to be counterattacked by the big families, who secretly obstruct it and obstruct the implementation of the imperial examination, so that it will die halfway before it is really implemented.

Moreover, the most obvious thing is that after nearly 400 years of practice, the probationary system has been deeply rooted, and there are very few people in the lower classes of civilians who are outstanding.

In a short period of time, those who can pass the imperial examination step by step are still disciples of the family nine times out of ten, and they cannot really break the monopoly of the family family.

If you want to really achieve this step, it is a long and far-reaching practice, and it is far from three or five years of work.

"Wen Ruo, Wen He, you all take a look and analyze the pros and cons."

After a long time, Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes and handed the book in his hand to Xun Yu and Jia Xu.

"Bin'er, you really gave the eldest father a big surprise!"

Then, he looked at Cao Bin on the side, full of joy and surprise.

I have to say that this grandson did not disappoint him after all.

The previous remarks were just foreshadowing, in order to lead to the following remarks.

He is only 11 years old this year, and he not only draws a map of Kyushu, but also has insight into the general trend of the world.

He improved the quyuan plough to improve the efficiency of farming, and made every effort to give advice to the imperial court to formulate such a perfect talent selection system.

It's just a genius, no, genius is not enough to describe, it should be a demon!

Zhiduo is close to a demon, and the demon is also evil!

"My grandson also wants to share my father's worries."

Cao Bin pursed his lips, quite apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what Lao Cao thought of the imperial examination system.

After all, this is a system that began to sprout in the Sui Dynasty more than 300 years later, and was truly implemented and flourished in the Tang Dynasty.

I don't know if it will be unadaptable to the soil and water, and it will have an adverse reaction to the current situation of the times.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Xun Yu said to Cao Cao with a happy face: "The son is outstanding and talented, and there are successors to the lord." ”

At this time, he had already finished reading Cao Bin's book on the explanation of the imperial examination system, and he recognized it.

"Yes, the book 'Detailed Explanation of the Imperial Examination System' written by Gongzi Bin is really a word for word, and it hits the nail on the head!"

Jia Xu on the side raised the book in his hand and said: "If you follow this law, you will definitely be able to gather the world's talents for the lord, why worry about the great cause?" ”

This method of selecting talents, which broke the class monopoly, could not have been more suitable for the ruler Cao Cao.

Although they are disciples of the family, they know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and as Cao Cao's courtiers, they naturally know how to choose.

"If this system is implemented, all the heroes of the world will be in my ranks!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he said very happily.
