Xu Mochen also knows that investment in education is inevitable and intangible.

Unlike other inputs, it can have a roughly defined output.

In the agricultural era, there were not many people who read books, and this is the reason.

In the end, Xu Mochen and everyone agreed to select more than 90,000 children from the poor family.

After the imperial examination, he will also hold Enke, and there will be children of the scholar clan to join in at that time.

If you put it together, the basic number of teachers is almost enough.

"Nowadays, the domestic grain and other output of Daqian is not absolutely sufficient, and the labor and education are reversed in one go," Xu Mochen said of his plan, "The acceptability of the common people must be very small."

Therefore, I thought that with the county seat as the main unit, down to the villages and towns, there were five or six teachers in one place, and the scale would be enough. ”

As for the big counties and prefectures, they need more people.

Shen Zhining also agreed: "The concubine checked the information of Lanxing Huaxia, and the literacy campaign back then also started little by little.

It is not possible to force all ordinary people to participate, but to mobilize them in the name of the government. ”

Xu Mochen has also been in contact with the history of that era, and there is indeed resistance.

In some villages and towns, they work on the farm during the day and carry kerosene lamps to study at night.

Because there is no foundation for enlightenment, in fact, some older children are actually unacceptable.

"Daqian's other industries are not flourishing at present," Zhao Lingbo also proposed, "and the courtiers believe that Your Majesty should gradually encourage the people to engage in other industries." ”

This was unthinkable a few years ago, when it had just been unified, and it was basically in a depression except for agriculture and a small amount of handicrafts and commerce.

But now, Xu Mochen is qualified to diversify his industry.

Especially with the power resources, the elasticity of the rise is great.

However, these cannot be achieved overnight, Xu Mochen confessed, Qizhou, Ningzhou, Danzhou in the south, and Lanzhou in his own hands started first.

Some of them are rich, and then they will drive everyone to be rich.

In late April, the imperial court promulgated the results of the National Teacher Examination.

The admission figure of close to 100,000 still caused an uproar.

First of all, the courtiers, for whom it is not difficult to find out the results of the exam.

But when they saw the exam papers of the people selected by Xu Mochen, they all laughed.

That's it? This is the teacher that His Majesty wants to reuse?

Can I tell you the truth, it's all scrap.

Let them engage in education, teach others, and absolutely mislead people's children.

Very death-resistant, worthy of Your Majesty, what a famous king through the ages!

The future of Daqian is up to us to bear it.

The second is the children of the scholar clan, and some of the examination papers have been anonymously transcribed and circulated in their hands.

This is also called talent selection? It's really insulting to Wen Dao.

Faint monarch, faint monarch, if it weren't for the assistance of loyal ministers, I would be hopeless!

Then there are the selected children of the poor family, who are happy and apprehensive.

I still know what level I have, but I didn't expect such a bad exam result that His Majesty actually admitted him.

I'm afraid this big cadre is really going to lose the country!

Xu Mochen didn't care about these for the time being, because in May, the capital finally ushered in the imperial examination.

The scale of this imperial examination is also unprecedented, and according to the statistics of the Ministry of Rites, there are more than 30,000 people.

Xu Mochen knows the history of Blue Star, and this number is about the same as the level of the current era.

It's just that among these 30,000 people, immortal cultivators account for 90 percent, and the rest are scholars of the scholar clan.

During this time, the Ministry of Rites worked overtime and set up a lot of examination locations.

It doesn't matter if you are a mortal student, but if you are an immortal cultivator, you must have special arrangements.

Everyone has supernatural powers, and who knows if they will go crazy when they can't do it.

There are also the use of magic powers to cheat, plagiarism, etc., which are also to be considered.

Xu Mochen visited one of the examination rooms, and a shielding formation was set up around this examination room.

In this formation, the use of divine consciousness and aura is restricted, and after the immortal cultivator enters, he is basically the same as ordinary people.

Of course, if they really rioted en masse, they would be able to break through the formation.

Therefore, in each examination room, some of the people who are responsible for maintaining order are immortal cultivators sent by the Mo Alliance.

Once an abnormality is found, intervene immediately.

In addition, the Ministry of Rites also informed the Ministry of War and mobilized the soldiers and horses of the five cities to impose martial law on the capital.

The exam lasted for nine days and nine nights, and all students had to stay in the designated room to solve the problem of eating, drinking, and lazing.

For immortal cultivators, this is not a problem at all, so in fact, the main energy of the Ministry of Rites is still on the students of the scholar clan.

Although it is now clear to everyone that the scholars of the scholar clan have been extracted from the literary atmosphere, and participating in the imperial examination is to play soy sauce.

After the examination, all the examination papers will be reviewed within three days and a part of them will be selected.

In the past, there were not many places to be admitted, but this time, according to the demand for officials according to the statistics of the Ministry of Officials, it is planned that the total number of students admitted will be more than 3,000.

This is still the number of officials in the establishment, plus the additional admission of non-establishment, the number of people reported by the Ministry of Rites is about 10,000.

So many people did not stay in the capital to supplement the shortage of officials in the court.

Most of them have been trained in various departments, and they will be delegated to the prefectures and counties of the great cadres to join the newly added government departments.

Therefore, in fact, the top admissions are about three or four hundred.

According to the process given by the Ministry of Rites, these three or four hundred people are going to participate in the palace examination, select the champion list, and so on.

This was the main process in the past.

It's just that this year, an extra item has been added.

That is, after the results of the palace examination, all the thousands of top students admitted to the establishment have to visit the Guozijian to show that the country attaches great importance to cultural governance.

Xu Mochen did not object to this, anyway, it is estimated that the students in this establishment should all be immortal cultivators.

Even if there are scholars from the scholar clan who occasionally mix in it, Xu Mochen estimates that the Ministry of Rites also has the means to deal with it.

To put it simply, the last carnival belongs to the immortal cultivators.

Xu Mochen acquiesced in this result, and used it in exchange for the promotion of modern education he wanted.

Between him and the immortal cultivators, the idea of the prosperity of literature and Taoism has since parted ways.

It was lively and lively into May, and soon ushered in the day of the opening of the imperial examination.

On this day, Xu Mochen held a long-lost court meeting very early.

It's just that this meeting did not discuss any major military affairs.

Xu Mochen sat on the throne, and with a wave of his hand, Tang Derun took a brocade box.

This brocade box is added with Xu Mochen's own divine thought imprint, and it is shielded by a formation.

Immortal cultivators can't easily spy on the content.

At this time, all students should enter the examination room, which is closed.

And it was time for Xu Mochen to personally open the brocade box and take out the exam questions.

He raised his chin slightly, Tang Derun opened the box in front of all the ministers, and took out a scroll, which was written as the title of this imperial examination.

Seeing this, the chamberlain took a deep breath and shouted: "The first national imperial examination of Daqian has begun!" ”
