Chapter 184: Your Friend Can Still Pass?
At this time, Dawei's county examination had also ended.
Unlike the county examination, the passing rate of this round of assessment is extremely low, and less than one percent of the scholars have passed the examination.
In fact, this also shows that today's scholarly talents are really limited.
Many scholars even fell seriously ill after the assessment and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
The difficulty of this assessment made many people suddenly sober up, and they rushed to their own county government when they left the house, just to see if there were any vacancies for county officials.
They don't want to continue to refer to it, this difficulty is beyond their limit, and they think that even if they continue to study hard, they may not be able to pass such an assessment.
After all, the people who published the paper this time are all characters such as the county guard, and the two thousand stones personally came up with questions to ask about policy governance, and there are also math problems such as the county guard, and the problem of litigation and criminal law, which is really difficult to pass.
Cao Chao did not stipulate the age of the reference scholars, nominally, any age could participate.
In this round, the passers are generally people who start at the age of 30, and there are even some very old ones.
Of course, there are young scholars, but there are not many of them.
After all, these things can't be read by reading books, but also have to be analyzed in combination with the actual situation.
The classic assessment questions will not let you write the second half of the sentence, but directly give you a few governance problems, so that you can use the classic methods to solve them.
The agricultural question is no longer a simple agricultural test, but has directly become an application question for the revitalization of agriculture and mulberry in a county.
After the end of this round of assessment, the defeated candidates began to serve as county officials in the county government, and according to the system, after serving as county officials, they are still eligible to continue to refer to it in the future.
However, it will be necessary to wait for the temple to open again.
And they are also keenly aware that if they want to pass such an assessment, it is not enough to just stay at home and study, but also to have some talent for governance.
Moreover, if you do well in the position of county official, you may not have to wait for the next exam to be promoted.
Through this examination, the temple has successfully filled the huge problem of official vacancies.
Although it has not been completely resolved, many positions are still vacant, but there will be no empty government offices.
The fact that new people have been replaced everywhere, and those who used to get in through bribery and flattery have been replaced, which makes the situation a little different.
The original Great Wei, although it has been less than 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, already has a feeling of dying old age.
The temple is bloated and incompetent, and the place is smoky.
It's like an empire that has come to an end.
In fact, this situation can also be understood, after all, although Cao Wei was fought, after all, it was built on the basis of the Later Han, and many problems of the Later Han were not solved very well in the Great Wei, although the kings tried.
As a result, the Great Wei was somewhat corrupt from the beginning, and completely lacked the vigor that a nascent empire should have.
Cao Chao has made such a vigorous rectification, but it has given the empire a new look.
These newcomers, Cao Chao didn't dare to say how good their private ethics must be, but they relied on their own ability to come up, even if they were perfunctory to the people, they also knew what kind of method to use, and they would not directly beat them out like the original officials.
What's more, these people all have the idea of continuing to go up, the small officials in the past, they have no chance to get ahead, and they serve as small officials probably for the convenience of doing things in the local area and seeking benefits, so they are very ruthless to the people.
It's probably going to converge a lot now.
And those who passed the county examination were also divided into two groups at this moment, one group of people decided to do things in the county with peace of mind, and the other group of people wanted to continue to see if they could go all the way to the emperor.
In the Taiji Palace, Wang Jing, the captain of Sili, sat solemnly on the side and told Cao Chao about the situation in the Sili area.
Wang Jing is actually equivalent to the history of Si Lizhou's assassination.
He was also a very good assassin, he was originally a peasant, he knew the situation at the bottom very well, and he had an upright character, and he did not want to go along with those people.
"The Heyin County Order has been taken down for interrogation, and he is not good at invigilating, and he did not search the scholars who participated in the examination, which is really resentful!"
"Originated?"
Cao Chao asked calmly.
Wang Jing nodded, "Born in a big family, he originally served as the commander of Gaolu County, and he was promoted to the Heyin Order, and he was originally going to be promoted, but I didn't expect it to be such a good thing!" ”
"This person is called Yang Jun, Hongnong Yang"
Cao Chao suddenly understood, it turned out to be this person, so there was nothing strange about it.
Open up to Han's network, this is what this person is best at.
Yang Jun is Sima Anshi's father-in-law, but Anshi's wife has not yet been born, Yang Jun is still very young and still serving as the county magistrate.
Cao Chao's face did not hesitate at all, "Even if the Hongnong Yang clan has made such a big mistake, it can't be forgiven, so let's do it according to the law." ”
Wang Jing lowered his head, "Only." ”
"Si Li has always been the norm in various places, please treat these traitors harshly, so that all places can follow suit!"
After explaining a few words, Cao Chao sent Wang Jing out of the door of the East Hall.
"Maoxian!"
"Maoxian!!"
Cao Chao shouted a few words in a row, Zhang Hua didn't come in, it was Guo Zhi who came in.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Jun went to Liu Lu's mansion yesterday and is not in the palace."
Cao Chao laughed, "I actually forgot about it." ”
"But the minister went to Liu's Mansion to call Zhang Jun?"
"You don't have to be like this, and let him be busy, Guo Jun, you go and invite Zhong Gong over now, it's Da Zhong Gong."
Cao Chao specially reminded him, in fact, as the emperor, Cao Chao can call anyone by his name, and when the ministers see him, they also have to call him by his name, but Cao Chao still respects the ministers who are more important, and rarely calls him by his name.
Guo Zhi took the order and left here in a hurry.
Cao Chao touched his chin, this Zhang Hua is not there, and he is really a little unaccustomed to it, and he originally wanted to discuss Taixue with him
Guo Zhi was also very timely, Cao Chao didn't wait long, he brought Zhong Yu here, but he brought one more person.
Zhong Yu and Sima Yan appeared here at the same time.
Cao Chao asked the two of them to sit in front of him, and let Guo Zhi serve in front of the door.
"Gong Zhong, I heard that few students can pass the county exam this time, what is the reason for this?"
This county examination can be regarded as a real demonstration of the strength of Dawei talents.
Facts have proved that the scholars of Dawei are better at boasting and commenting, and they are completely incapable of doing practical things.
Many people think that the county and state exams will be covered by the students, after all, they are the best talents carefully selected by Dawei.
As a result, who would have thought that some of these people even failed to pass the county exam, and there were really only a few people who passed the county exam.
This is an exaggerated proportion.
Is this the pillar of Great Wei's future governance of the world? ?
Sima Yan hurriedly said at this moment: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is mainly because of the assessment itself. ”
"Oh? Having a problem with the assessment? ”
"What do you think is wrong?"
Sima Yan replied: "The problem is that the assessment is too difficult. ”
"Many of my friends participated in the assessment, and when they came out, they told me that it was too difficult, so they couldn't pass the assessment."
After hearing this, Cao Chao was suddenly a little surprised.
Isn't it, your friends can pass the county exam??
Sima Yan added: "I also heard from them that this assessment is very absurd, and the content of the assessment is not a proper job, and it is definitely not a classic. ”
"They say that the topic has nothing to do with the classics, but instead asks about governing the place, calculating the cultivated land, what to plant every month, settling lawsuits, etc., and it has nothing to do with Zhengxue at all."
Cao Chao looked directly at Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this is because when today's flashiness prevails, scholars can't even be proficient in the classics, for these world-governing knowledge, there is no slightest cognition, the teachers in Taixue teach some classic high theories, patiently interpret, but the assessment content is not only classics, if you encounter other types of subjects, candidates will not be able to pass the test"
Cao Chao interrupted him.
"That is, there is a problem with the teaching of Taixue, is that what it means?"
Zhong Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That's right." ”
Cao Chao then said: "Not only Taixue, but also locally, what kind of books are the most popular?" The most popular books are Taixuan, Yi, poems and other books, and the scholars studied this all day, studied most of it, and then went to take and drink."
"And there are very few people who seriously study the law, agriculture, and world governance, which will make the county examination so difficult."
Zhong Yu said again: "That's exactly what Your Majesty said. ”
Cao Chao asked, "Then what can be done to change these?" ”
Zhong Yu immediately replied: "You can let the teachers in Taixue change their teaching methods, and you can reward those who have passed the assessment with multiple uses, and those who have not passed the assessment will not be given to the officials, so that the scholars will definitely begin to study these world-governing knowledge."
Cao Chao then looked at Sima Yan.
Sima Yan listened to their story, and also understood what the emperor wanted to do, and he asked, "Your Majesty, does the local official school also have to change?" Begin to teach these four doctrines? ”
"But now you have ordered that everyone can participate in the assessment."
"In the past, those people from poor families and ordinary people could not participate in the assessment, and they could only go to the local school position after completing their studies, but now they have all participated in the assessment, what should these official schools do?"
"It's enough to improve the treatment and grade of the scholars."
"At present, the most important thing is to be too learned, too dignified, after the state exam, I don't know if there is anyone left who wants to pass the assessment, each subject must get a good evaluation before all the students fall, it is simply a great shame for Dawei, a great shame for students all over the world!!"
"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely find a way to solve it!!"
