On May 20, the third year of Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, the son of heaven, set up a title in Chang'an.

Because this time the scholar itself is a strange thing with four differences, it is also quite casual in terms of the scale of the exam and the test questions, and it is not systematic at all.

For example, Qin Mi thinks that since you have to take the exam, the first step is to confirm that the examinees are all people who are familiar with the classics, and if you can't even read the classics, you come to take the exam, and in the end, if you become an official, it will be a joke.

Although it is said that every candidate for the examination this time has been recommended by local celebrities or officials, it is not unheard of in this year.

Therefore, Qin Mi thought that in the first exam, the "Ming Scripture" must be tested, that is, the scholars' familiarity with the classics must be tested.

This is also the reason why Qin Mi had to wait until he borrowed the Confucian classics annotated by Zheng Xuan from the Zheng family in Beihai before starting the exam - you have to have an authoritative answer.

But Huang Quan said that if you can memorize the classics and read to death, how can you govern one side well?!

Those who are officials, do not know measurement, do not understand agricultural time, do not know the people's hearts, and rely on the classics to govern the country, but they are just rhetoric, and they may not be of great use.

Therefore, it is necessary to also test the practice, so that the students can put forward their own views on local governance.

This is a practical policy, which means a bit of a strategy.

Then Zhang Xi interjected, saying that these alone are not enough, don't forget that it is still a troubled time, the world is divided into three, and the selection of officials must at least be responsible, have a military strategy, especially in Guanzhong, which is more or less a front line, if you encounter an enemy attack without a fight, it is better not to.

Yes, Zhang Xi doesn't want to elect a bunch of officials like Hao Pu and Liao Li.

These people are outstandingly talented, and there is no problem in governing the locality, but when they encounter the cowardice and lack of responsibility in the war, it is really helpless.

Such a person, no matter how well the local governance is, is just a wedding dress for the enemy, and he doesn't even have the courage to fight a war, so what else can he talk about protecting the territory and the people?!

The three of them got together and discussed for a long time, and finally Pang Tong really couldn't listen to it anymore.

Because Pang Tong thinks that what these three people said makes sense, in this special period, to serve as a landlord, the above three aspects are all necessary conditions.

Then simply divide it into three questions, and it would be good to take the test together?!

As a scholar, and a scholar who wants to be a politician, if you can't even do the above three points, how can you still have the face to take the exam and seek an official?!

As soon as Pang Tong said this, Zhang Xi and the three of them stopped discussing it, and the three of them looked at Pang Tong speechlessly at the same time.

You Pang Shiyuan have the confidence to say this, after all, you can really understand both the classics and practice, and at the same time you can make suggestions and lead the army to fight, but the question is, how many Pang Shiyuan can there be in the world? !

If you really take the exam together, will you select the county magistrate, the state and county officials, or the "Wolong" and "Phoenix Chick"?!

And to tell the truth, even those so-called famous people in the world, how many people can do the three points we discussed, and who can do these things, who is not the pillar of the country, and has been recruited early? !

Not everyone is a genius like you Pang Shiyuan.

Again, from one exam to three exams in a row, we don't have the energy and time.

Ma Youchang in order to prepare for this exam, it has been several days without closing his eyes, and it is not easy to put this framework up, you say this, it is equivalent to dividing an exam into three exams to do Ma Youchang can work hard with you, do you know?!

But after Pang Tong listened to the complaints of the three people, he also looked at the three of them with a look of contempt and said that you are stupid, and you still don't admit it.

When did I say I was going to take three exams in a row?!

What I'm talking about is that there is an exam, but there are three questions, and the three questions are taken together, and the students will be selected after comprehensive consideration of the three aspects of knowledge, affairs, and military strategy.

In the three aspects, as long as two aspects are evaluated by the middle and upper ranks, they can be conferred officials.

To put it simply, it is to look at the comprehensive score evaluation of the paper.

As soon as this plan was proposed, Qin Mi and Huang Quan suddenly realized, and Zhang Xi. Zhang Xi was silent.

In fact, Zhang Xi somewhat disagrees with this mode of selecting officials, which is too subjective and not very fair.

But in retrospect, unless there are very quantitative judging criteria, subjectivity is always an important judging factor in any exam in this era, and it is unavoidable.

What Zhang Xi can do is only to increase the objective factor as much as possible, such as. Transcription of names.

But Zhang Xi's suggestion was opposed by Qin Mi.

On the one hand, Qin Mi felt that by doing so, he was increasing his workload for nothing. The exam time is already very tight, and there is no time to do such a vague transcription again.

On the other hand, there is no need to make such a cumbersome and complicated quiz for an impromptu pick-up. Unless you want to fix him down.

If we have just discussed the beginning of the discussion, it can be explained by the necessity of selecting qualified officials, after all, the shortage of officials in the Guanzhong region is too large, and without this, it will not be possible to quickly resume production in the Guanzhong area.

However, there is no need for the vague name system, which is to ensure the fairness of the examination, because there is no such thing as a similar examination.

In this regard, Qin Mi must strictly guard against it.

As soon as Qin Mi objected, Pang Tong and Huang Quan also understood the reason, although they felt that Zhang Xi's idea was not necessarily wrong, but the family attributes that came with them made them also maintain a tacit attitude towards Qin Mi's statement.

Zhang Xi was suddenly a little anxious, if there was no vague name system, then why should the children of the poor family compete with the children of the family.

During this time, even here in Zhang Xi, he received a lot of requests and greetings, and Zhang Xi didn't believe that Qin Mi, Pang Tong, and Huang Quan would have no one to ask for favors.

The candidate's admission hope is all pinned on the personal ethics of the examiner. Zhang Xi really didn't dare to think so, even if the object of his suspicion was Pang Tong, Huang Quan, Qin Mi and other celebrities.

Zhang Xi also stubbornly scolded Qin Mi back, and clearly told Qin Mi that the name system does not work a few times, even if it is only used this time, it can ensure the fairness of the exam this time.

The implication is that Lao Tzu just can't believe in your family things.

This made Qin Mi angry a lot.

The family in this year still has a little face, not to the extent that it is skinless and faceless like in the late Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Therefore, Qin Mi's behavior of questioning Zhang Xi's personal moral integrity is absolutely unacceptable.

Really, Qin Mi was so angry that he almost drew his sword on the spot. If it weren't for Pang Tong and Huang Quan to stop them.

But in any case, as soon as they got it, Qin Mi and Zhang Xi had a complete falling out, and this matter of the vague name system was also put in front of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei would decide.

It can't be helped, there are reasons on both sides.

Qin Mi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he resolutely disagrees with the adoption of the name system in the examinations organized by the Ministry of Rites, which is his right.

But Zhang Xi made it clear to Qin Mi this time, he wrote a letter suggesting that the exam should increase the name system to ensure fairness, which is also his duty as a minister, it doesn't matter if you don't agree to the book of the Ministry of Rites, isn't there still the Son of Heaven, everything is left to the Son of Heaven to decide.

Liu Bei was also embarrassed.

To be honest, it is impossible for Liu Bei not to see the benefits of the name system, which can indeed ensure fairness.

But the problem is that Liu Bei can also see that the emergence of this system is clearly distrust of the examiner and the distrust of the scholar system.

This is not only a matter of personal morality, but also a matter of interests.

Liu Bei didn't want to offend the family because of such a trivial matter, and he didn't want Zhang Xi's fair suggestion to be aborted for a long time, and came up with a compromise solution.

Liu Bei said that he was old, his eyes were not good, and reading too many test papers would delay time, so it was better to hand it over to the Huangmen Shilang, and the Huangmen Shilang could read it once.

As for whether the Huangmen Shilang reads the article first or the candidate's name first, this is completely designated by Liu Bei.

In this way, there is no need to engage in any vague name system, and it can also play the effect of the name system, which is the best of both worlds.

Qin Mi had nothing to say about this, but Qin Mi was worried about this matter after all.

It doesn't matter how important the matter of the name system itself is, what really matters is the attitude shown by the Son of Heaven on this matter.

The statement of the Son of Heaven seemed to be taking care of his own emotions and the interests of the family, but in the end he changed his direction and adopted the practice of obfuscation.

Originally, Qin Mi thought that although Chang'an took the scholars this time, although he looked nonsense, Liu Bei finally let go of his guard against the families, which could be regarded as a way to ease relations with the families.

But now it seems that the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards the family is still the same as before.
