Since he suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that the post station be independent, he naturally considered the problem of lack of people. It's just that the solution he thought of was too bold, and it was even more deviant for the current environment.

Without a suitable opportunity, he didn't dare to say it rashly.

And now, in Zhu Biao's study, there are only two people, he and Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao has a gentle temperament and attaches great importance to family affection, even if he is wrong, he believes that Zhu Biao will not rest assured.

It is an opportunity to offer solutions.

Zhu Biao was interested: "What a bold idea, let's hear it!"

Although the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, but the Ming Dynasty was established in the war and ruins, and the talent withered, and the talent could not be cultivated overnight.

Now that Lan Bin has a solution, it is difficult for him not to be curious.

"Cousin, in view of the problem of independence and lack of people in the post station, I thought it could be solved by open recruitment." Lan Bin looked at Zhu Biao and hesitated.

That's right, Lan Bin's solution is the civil service exam in later generations.

Speaking of which, there is a shortage of people in the imperial court, and what is lacking is a reader who is full of poetry and books, and you must know that a scholar who can be an official must be famous at worst. This is because of the early establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the relatively small number of famous scholars.

In the future, when there are more scholars, the standard for becoming an official will have to go up to a higher level, especially for those who want to make a difference in the officialdom, they must be admitted to the Jinshi.

And if you want to gain fame, it is not an easy task, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with a sentence that thousands of troops have crossed a single-plank bridge.

This also leads to the existence of a large number of people who have read books, but have not been admitted to fame, or who have not been able to pass the examination to show talents, raise people, and enter the scholars, and have spent their lives in the book.

However, although those who read books can't get into the Xiucai and other fames, it doesn't mean that they are incapable, they just don't have a platform to show their abilities, if they can be provided with a platform, they will definitely be able to burst out unimaginable energy.

Of course, the main reason why he thought about it and proposed the civil service examination was to divide and disintegrate the civil service group.

A divided civilian-bureaucratic clique is much easier to deal with than a clique of civilian-bureaucratic cliques. In particular, the civil service examination he proposed fundamentally divided the civil service group.

It is not a partisan struggle within the civilian bureaucracy.

Zhu Biao was a little confused: "Open recruitment?"

"Yes, open recruitment!"

Lan Bin nodded: "Generally, post men and post guards at post stations don't need to compose poems or write articles, as long as they have read books, know how to read, and can count, they can be competent."

"There is a shortage of scholars with meritorious reputations in the imperial court, or scholars who have read poetry and books, but there is no shortage of people who have read and read and can read."

"We can issue notices and organize targeted open recruitment examinations according to the different job needs of the station. I dare not say anything else, the vacancy after the independence of the post station will definitely be filled." net

"No, no!"

When Zhu Biao heard Lan Bin's method, he was overjoyed at first, but he immediately realized that it was very inappropriate to do so, you must know that the imperial court selects talents, either by recommendation or by imperial examination.

Moreover, according to the experience of previous dynasties, the imperial court will open the imperial examination to select talents, which will be the mainstream way of selecting talents in the imperial court, and it is also the foundation of countless scholars.

Lan Bin's open recruitment seems to have solved the problem of personnel shortage after the independence of the post station, but it actually digs up the roots of scholars.

Imagine that the scholars in dozens or hundreds of state capitals have studied hard for more than ten years, saying that they are to gain fame and glorify their ancestors, but in fact they are to become officials, show their ambitions, and live up to what they have learned in their lives.

But if you do what Lan Bin said about the open recruitment examination, you can become an official after taking the exam once, then can anyone endure loneliness and study hard in the cold window?

Can those civil servants let it go?

Lan Bin pretended not to know: "What's wrong?"
