Chen Qun determined early on that Liu Bei was not only a tough general, but also a political genius at the political level.

He is only a political genius who can propose and implement the political reform, so he thinks that Liu Bei has the value of assisting and following and even paying a part of the benefits.

When the family questioned Liu Bei's policy, it was also Chen Qunli who overrode the public opinion, asked the family to pay some benefits, and continued to follow Liu Bei's footsteps.

Now, seeing the strategic concept proposed by Liu Bei, he was itching in his heart, and he wanted to see how Liu Bei conceived the future reform immediately, so he immediately said goodbye, left Liu Bei's study with this plan like a baby, and returned to his job.

The Imperial Examination and the Nine Grades of Official Law, Chen Qun was very interested in these two names.

In the past, the system of selecting and appointing officials was the inspection system, and now it is the imperial examination system, so what does this imperial examination system mean?

With anticipation and doubts, Chen Qun opened the book in front of him and began to read it seriously.

Oh, it turns out that the subject is the meaning of scientific examination, and the example is the meaning of selecting outstanding talents according to the results of scientific examination.

Generally speaking, it is to abandon the system of relying on people's recommendation to be an official in the probation system, abandon the system of filial piety and honesty to select talents, and strengthen and correct a series of patches made by the Eastern Han Empire on the probation system in a long period of time.

After the development of the probation system, it was not the beginning of the way to appoint talents by relying entirely on the selection of talents by the local county guards, but gradually introduced the concept of examination and review.

For the imperial court, from the first time it was discovered that the talents who came up from the inspection were a little boring, the examination was an inevitable countermeasure.

The local government has its own little Jiujiu, and the imperial court is not stupid, and it is impossible to hand over the high-level political resources of the central government to those related households so easily, and they themselves have related households.

The public government re-examination system introduced by Zuo Xiong was also the biggest targeted reinforcement made by the Eastern Han Dynasty court to the defects of the inspection system, and it was also the possibility of using the examination system to test talents.

It's just that under the premise that the general environment has not been changed, no matter how strong the patch is, it will not be able to save the overall situation after all.

Liu Bei has experienced a complete probation cycle, experienced the re-examination of the government, knows the twists and turns and the rules of the game very well, and deeply understands the catty here, so he has been disappointed in this system and does not plan to continue to maintain it.

But Zuo Xiong's concept of the public re-examination inspired him.

Instead of creating a separate system, why not use this strongest patch for Fuzheng?

It's all about selecting talents, and Zuo Xiong is obviously aware of the big difference between letting people choose and letting the test results choose, so he proposed the system of public re-examination.

Since the examination system of the public government re-examination has left its own mark on the Eastern Han Empire, it is simply to strengthen the public government re-examination system epicly, update and iterate a new way of playing, so that the examination has completely become the standard for selecting talents.

Don't look at your background, don't look at your family background, don't look at your age, don't look at your appearance, a paper, dozens of questions, take a test, come to take a test, and see the real chapter with your ability.

If you can pass the exam, let's talk about other things, and if you can't pass the exam, don't give me a mouthful.

Eliminate all other external factors and give me the test.

In fact, the benefits of this are very great for the imperial court.

The corrupted probation system not only could not ensure the moral standard of filial piety, but also could not ensure their IQ level, so that the imperial court faced two major problems at the same time, not only to face scum, but also to face scum.

If a scumbag and a scumbag accidentally get together, the court will be happy.

The imperial examination system solves the latter difficulty, reducing the problems faced by the imperial court to one, and the difficulty of talent selection is instantly reduced by 50%, which has become a major talent selection innovation, reducing a large number of talent selection costs and follow-up management and operating costs for the imperial court.

A person's moral standard is at least a little subjective in it, and it is debatable from anyone's point of view, it is not good to have a unified standard, but IQ is a relatively objective factor.

One exam is not enough, take several more exams, and you can always select the smartest group of people.

At least, there is no risk of letting dementia be an official.

As for morality, it depends on the law to constrain it, which is not something that should be considered too much in talent selection, if this also needs to be considered in the talent selection process, the talent selection process is too cumbersome, and the law will lose its due deterrent effect.

From the cost of the imperial court, the selection of talents by examination is the most economical way, whether it is the process of talent selection or the energy cost required for the subsequent "after-sales service", compared with the inspection, it is a very significant optimization.

Therefore, Liu Bei's holding of this internal examination of the Ministry of Officials is actually preparing for the innovation of the selection system, accumulating experience, exploring the model, fixing bugs, and preparing to pave the way for the next comprehensive reform.

The content of the test, the method of the test, the scoring method, the scoring criteria, and the criteria for the final selection process all need to be discussed and practiced.

And all of this has been answered in this internal examination of the Ministry of Officials, from which Liu Bei has learned a lot of experience, fixed a lot of bugs, and found a lot of room to improve this policy.

For example, the number of students in the country is large, and the imperial court can't use so many people, so it has to be examined in sections.

Because the identity of the candidates is mainly limited to the state school and the Taixue, before the imperial examination begins, the first examination is held within the state school, called the "state examination".

The state examination is supervised and organized by the Imperial Academy, and the examination papers and grading are presided over by the commissioner of the Division, and students who pass the examination can go to Luoyang to take the second exam.

In this way, not only can excellent students be selected, but also some students who have little hope can spend a little less money, and they don't have to spend that effort to go to the sky to have a good time.

In principle, the second examination is also a selection examination, called the "selection examination", which brings together outstanding students from various states for another face-to-face competition and official examination, and selects the best group of people to participate in the third examination.

The third exam will be personally written and invigilated by Emperor Liu Bei, called the "Jun Examination", that is, the exam conducted in front of the king.

This special exam not only tests the academic level of the students, but also tests the psychological quality in it.

When you finish the exam in front of the supreme ruler of the empire, the King of kings, complete the exam under his gaze, and maybe even answer it, he will stand next to you, staring at your papers, and may even make some unexpected moves......

In this case, if the psychological quality is not up to the mark, it is very likely that the performance will be abnormal.

Playing out of style in front of the emperor......

Well, the result must be very sour.

After the completion of these three examinations, the emperor himself and the experts of the school will judge the selection and the ranking of the selected candidates, and evaluate the top three and the other candidates, and the number of people is not limited in principle, and the actual needs of the imperial court are flexibly handled.

Finally, the emperor himself has to take the time to do the last "interview" for all the selected candidates, to see with his own eyes the talents he has selected, and also to let these talents see the emperor's dignity, see the emperor himself, and talk with the emperor himself.

Although the interview does not eliminate the selected candidates in principle, if the interview performance is very poor, it will also affect the person's career in the future.

After the official selection is completed, the "Emperor List" can be posted in the place with the most people in Luoyang City, and the final candidates of the imperial examination will be publicized to the world.

In addition to the rules of this segmented examination, Liu Bei has also worked the design and improvement of this system.

For example, the weight of the exam questions, the criteria for judging the score, the importance of the ranking of the components of the score, and the inquiry of some crucial questions in the interview process, etc., Liu Bei, who was deeply involved in the talent selection process, found a lot of problems and made a lot of improvements to the original plan.

He even thought of providing travel and accommodation subsidies for students who were far away from Luoyang, and proposed to build cheap apartments for candidates in Luoyang and rent them out to candidates at a low price to reduce their financial pressure, thinking about these very detailed issues.

Then for some things after the assessment, such as ranking and arranging, giving the first name as the champion, the second name as Bangyan, and the third name as Tanhua, it sounds very good, but I don't know what kind of standard Liu Bei designed for these names.

However, these are trivial questions, harmless, how to get it, it mainly depends on Liu Bei, the emperor's personal thoughts.

Chen Qun paid more attention to the system design and standards of the examination itself, as well as the system design of the emperor's invigilation and emperor's interview.

This obviously highlights the importance that the emperor himself attaches to the selection of talents, but the personal invigilation and interview in person are really a bit too important.

Chen Qun didn't know what Liu Bei meant by this design, and he didn't know if he had some deep-seated ideas, but in any case, this system could at least ensure that the emperor himself knew who he was selecting, and it would also let these newcomers know the emperor and strengthen the connection between them.

Perhaps, a little subtle effect?

Chen Qun didn't think about it carefully.

Because the most important thing is obviously not these superficial things, the most important thing is that under this imperial examination system, the law stipulates that everyone, as long as they are the people of the Han Dynasty, as long as they can enter the state school and Taixue, they are eligible to participate in the imperial examination.

Chen Qun knew that Liu Bei's arrangement of state schools set up in various states, including Taixue, was quite lenient for the qualification review of scholars.

Basically, in addition to those who can actually go to school, even if they are children of a peasant family, the family has no money, and if you are willing to go to school, you can also go to school, not only do you not need money but also pay to subsidize you, please come to school.

Liangzhou Prefecture School has been running for seven or eight sessions, and a large number of peasant children have been able to enroll in school for free because of this rule set by Liu Bei, and the family hardly has to bear any costs, as long as they are willing to let a child who can be used as a labor force enter the state school to serve the country.

Because of this system, which was achieved very early, the proportion of Liangzhou people in the bureaucratic system of the entire Third Reich at this stage began to rise slowly.

That's the first-mover advantage.

In a certain period of time in the future, the Liangzhou people will definitely occupy a considerable number in the middle and upper echelons of the empire, opening a glorious era of Liangzhou people, and then with the state studies across the country to keep up, this era will slowly pass.

And more importantly, Liu Bei's mode of admission, study, and examination has incorporated all the ways of becoming an official into a system, in which there is no background, family background, and many other things that were very particular in the past, and only one criterion - learning ability.

With this standard, all important external factors such as background and family background were forcibly erased, so that the children of the scholar clan, the children of the strong and the poorest and incompetent peasant children competed on the same stage, and there was still only one competitive event - the exam.

Who is this most beneficial?

Of course, it's a farmer's child.

The children of peasant families, who had not had the slightest possibility of studying and becoming officials, were the largest and most benefited group, and through this system, they were able to cross the gap called family origin and go directly to the imperial court, which they could not reach in the past.

The connection between the imperial court and them was established.

Previously, it was the scholars who established contact with the imperial court.

No matter how bad it is, it is only the local heroes who can have contact with the imperial court and share a little political power, and it is impossible for the common people engaged in agricultural work to have nothing to do with this.

However, with this imperial examination system, at least theoretically, the possibility of the common people ascending to heaven is already there.

As long as he passes the imperial examination, he can become a member of the ruling class, which will fundamentally change from the past, and his identity will also be aligned with the person he once looked up to, and he will no longer be a person who needs to look up to others, at least in terms of status.

This policy directly expanded the object of the election of officials from scholars to the scope of the entire people, and forcibly smoothed the gap between scholars and other social classes, as long as you are a citizen of the Han Empire, registered, as long as you are enrolled, as long as you study hard, you have the possibility of gaining fame.

Effort, a word that has never been cared about by scholars, a word that has been ignored, ridiculed, resisted, and disagreed with by others, will play an unexpected and crucial role in the new system.

In the past, we paid attention to life, but now it is different, and we have to talk about hard work.

Therefore, if this system really works, it may really have a profound impact on the country.

If it is really promoted, will the bureaucratic group now be able to question, doubt, and oppose this system?

Do you have the ability?

There should be none.

After the rebellion of the Doda Ordinance, there were no large-scale rebels, and no political opponents were gone.

Liu Bei's imperial power expanded unprecedentedly through this war and spread to every corner of the country, and the strength of the 300,000 elite army was the strength of his power.

The existence of an invincible 300,000 elite Han army is unable to counter his policy and any opponent of his policy is unable to blatantly resist his demands.

Yes, he was a gentle, reasonable man.

But such a premise is based on the premise that if he does not want to, no one can force him.

This kind of gentleness and reasonableness is not at all friendly to some people.
