Chapter 448: Imperial Examination Reform

Huang Xiaodao: "Lao Tzu once said: There is a way but no skill, and the technique can still be sought." There is no way to do it, and it stops at the operation.

Zhuangzi once said: If you use the Tao to control the technique, the technique will be successful. The art of apostasy will fail.

This king thinks that Confucianism is the way, and science is the art! ”

"The sages have already made it very clear to our descendants, but we blindly pursue the Tao and ignore the importance of art! It makes us rigid in our thinking, hinders the progress of society, and is not beneficial to the country! ”

"And if you blindly attach importance to art, even if you achieve something for a while, however, without the corresponding moral assistance, it is like a villain who gains power for a while, and after all, it will not last long!"

"Last night, at the Tianji Conference, the West attached great importance to art, they developed a lot of advanced technology, with a sharp artillery giant, they can go to the sky and the earth, however, they have not experienced the edification of the Tao, so that they act like demons, even if they are unparalleled for a while, their morality is degraded, and they are no different from beasts!"

"Yes, this king, I think that Confucianism and science complement each other, regardless of priority, the positive essence of Confucianism, we must inherit and carry forward, and at the same time science and technology should also pay attention!"

"As for the disposal of Yan Shenggong, this king believes that the disaster will not affect the family clan, since the Confucian Mansion has been destroyed, and the title of Yan Shenggong has been cancelled, and he is not allowed to claim to be a descendant of a saint in the future! Strictly restricted, anyone who claims to be like this again will be punished with a felony! ”

"Strictly distinguish between the saints of Confucius and the descendants of the unscrupulous! Don't be confused! What do you think? ”

Zhu Youxiao praised: "The virtuous brother has learned from the past and the present! The matter is thus decided, and no one is allowed to beak it! Otherwise, he will be judged as a second-minister! ”

Zhu Youxiao made a final decision, and most of the ministers agreed with Huang Xiao's statement, and the hall quieted down.

Huang Xiao gestured to Zhu Youxiao.

That's right!

"As for the imperial examination, this king believes that reform is imperative! And it must be standardized, based on the score! No longer rely on the examiner's preference for questions and marking.

Students study: Chinese Studies, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, History and Geography, Biomedical Sciences

Confucianism, history and geography are classified as Chinese studies, with the largest score of 200 points, mathematics, physics and chemistry are all 100 points, and biomedical science is 50 points.

The total score is 550 points! Mongolian studies for three years, majoring in Chinese Studies, Mathematics, and Elementary Science and Technology Enlightenment!

Primary school is also a three-year system, and all subjects are learned!

Middle school, 3 years!

University, three-year program!

Moreover, this king proposed that the special Ministry of Education should be established, and all the expenses required by students should be borne by the state!

Enrollment is compulsory, and all school-age children must be enrolled! Otherwise, the local officials will be punished!

Mengxue entered primary school, called Tongsheng!

Tong Sheng, admitted to the middle school scholar, for the show!

Xiucai, those who are admitted to the university, are lifted!

The winner of the promotion is a jinshi, and the court is an official! ”

"Good!"

Zhu Youxiao Festival is amazed!

"What the virtuous brother said is exactly what I want! Ministers, what do you have to say? ”

Yang Lian said: "King Xian is knowledgeable, has a unique vision, and he can't do it!" The old minister agrees! ”

Zuo Guangdou said: "Minister, read the sage book, today I know, the sage is on the cloud, we misunderstand the words of the sage, and we are ashamed!" ”

……

The ministers echoed each other.

Liu Mao said: "What King Xian said is pertinent, and the minister also seconded it, however, as King Xian said, the cost of studying for all Ming students is borne by the state, and each person has studied hard for more than ten years, and the money consumed will be massive, and I am afraid that it will become a burden on the country!" ”

Shao Fuzhong praised: "What Lord Liu said is very true! What's more, I have been studying hard for decades, and every year there are new students enrolled, which has accumulated for a long time. ”

……

Huang Xiao laughed: "When did this king say that everyone has to study hard for more than ten years?" If it's not reading material, then there's no need to read it again!

Since the beginning of Mengxue, it has been an elimination system, and if you can't be admitted to the children's school for three years, you don't need to read anymore! In the same way, after three years of childhood, he can't be admitted to Xiucai, and he doesn't need to study! ”

Everyone was stunned.

Huang Xiao continued: "There are many people who have read books all their lives in the court, and many people who have studied have even taken the exam for thirty or forty years before they can enter the scholar and rank first, and become an official in the court!"

They have wasted all the good times of their lives and put a great burden on their families! Even if Zhongjin Sergeant is an official, he is already old! How long can they serve their country? ”

"What's more, once you become an official, corruption will become commonplace, and you want to get back these decades of investment!"

"To put it mildly, such a reluctant Zhongjin Shi is enough to show that his qualifications are mediocre, and he is not beneficial to the country!"

"Of course, in the past imperial examinations, because the number of scholars was too small, and Confucianism was too complicated, it was not necessarily a matter of qualifications.

"But, this mechanism is unfair! In the past, there were only a few readers, and many gifted children had no chance to get ahead because of their families! ”

"If everyone learns, these talented people will stand out!"

"Furthermore, after everyone learns, it can also prevent people from becoming blind!"

"As for the question of tariffs, the court actually bears the cost of the pillars of the elite, how much can it be? And these investments are necessary! With these pillars, how can I not be strong! ”

The hall is full of people, and everyone is impressed!

Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have any doubts? ”

"The ministers have nothing to say! The policy of the virtuous king is the policy of benefiting the country and the people, and the ministers admire it! ”

"The policy of the virtuous king, educate the world, after a few generations, I can judge the literature and count, the will of the court, the officials can no longer blind the holy will, just like this new deal, if everyone can read and read the newspaper, I am afraid that it will be implemented in the world long ago!"

"Minister, second!"

……

Liu Mao said: "The policy of the virtuous king is indeed a good policy, however, Xiucai, there will be many people, and its preferential exemption from Tianding tax will inevitably have an impact on the treasury tax, dare to ask the virtuous king, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

Huang Xiao looked at Liu Mao, and was not angry, but felt that it was a good thing to have such a provocative minister.

Huang Xiao smiled: "Lord Liu, this question is good!" ”

"In the past, there was a scholar in the family, and almost the whole family had to support his study, and the imperial court gave him preferential treatment, which was also for the purpose of subsidizing these poor students, and also out of recognition of his glory!"

However, in the future, the burden of this aspect will no longer exist, and this exemption will naturally not be continued! The labor of the New Deal was abolished, and the preferential exemption of scholars was already extinct.

Moreover, with a tax of one percent, there will never be any people who send land to the name of Xiucaijuren! However, for its glory, this king thinks it can be commended! Those who are excellent can be rewarded with money! ”

"For example, the establishment of the Royal Scholarship System! For example, in Huaiyuan County, there are 10,000 children in Mengxue this year, of which 5,000 are admitted to the examination, and the top 100 people with the highest score will be given corresponding scholarships! Encouragement! Children are tested for Xiucai, Xiucai is examined, and Jinshi is raised, and scholarships are set up, and the amount is the least in Mengxue and the most in Jinshi! The details can be discussed by you! ”
