The ram pondered, drank a cup of tea, stroked his beard and said slowly: "The cure must be eradicated, the disadvantages of today's official awarding stem from the inaction of the central officials, therefore, rectify the way of selecting officials, and deal with the source of the central officials." ā
The so-called Zhongzheng Guan is the person in charge of the evaluation of people in a certain area.
The state has a large central official, who is in charge of the evaluation of the characters in several counties in the state, and each county has a small central official.
The Zhongzheng officials were originally elected by the county magistrates, and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the power to elect them fell into the hands of the upper grades.
The so-called rank is determined by the central official according to his family background, conduct, and ability, and is used as the basis for the temple to confer officials.
However, in the process of authenticity, the standard of talent and morality is gradually ignored, and the family background is more and more important, and even becomes the only standard.
At the end of the pre-Qin period, it eventually became a situation of "no poor family in the upper grade, and no scholar clan in the lower grade".
The meaning of the ram is high, and the way of selecting officials needs to be rectified, so as to rectify the selection system of the central officials, avoid the monopoly of the top grade on the central officials, and then reform the method of the first grade, and even eliminate the family lineage, and only take conduct and talent as the grade standard.
The ram general told what he was thinking in his heart, and when his mouth was dry and the tea was cold, he stopped talking, took the tea cup and drank it all, and asked, "What do the prince and the valley lord think?"
Su Musha held the teacup in both hands and was silent in thought. Ye Qiudi said seriously: "Mr. Ram is reasonable, but how can the family easily give up the right to get it?"
"It is difficult to let the high-grade family stop," the ram said earnestly, "However, Shen Zhen uses fierce medicine, and the troubled times need to be repeated." The valley master should know better than the old man. ā
"There is also a saying in medical theory that deficiency cannot be remedied, and chronic diseases should also be slowly planned to avoid being in a hurry. "Ye Qiudi knows a lot about medical science, and it is not something that a ram can easily convince.
Ram Zi Gao Zheng wanted to point out that the way of conferring officials in the Southern Dynasty was terminally ill, and he couldn't delay it any longer, but he saw Su Musha dragging the tea cup with one hand and slowly turning the other hand, and talked about irrelevant things, "Before I came out of the valley, the little senior sister once told me a good story of 'three filial piety and honesty make the production famous'. ā
Su Musha smiled at Ye Qiudi and asked Ram Zigao, "Have you ever heard of it, sir?"
"Wang Ye refers to the three brothers of the filial brother Xu family in Yangxian County, Huiji County?"
"Exactly. ā
The good story of "three filial piety and honesty makes the industry a high name" comes from the previous dynasty: the three brothers of Xu Shi of Huiji County died early due to the early death of their parents, and the eldest brother Xu Wu, who was only fifteen years old, took on the burden of raising and educating the two younger brothers. After Xu Wu's hard work, not only did he have a solid family business, but also had a good parenting, so he had a good reputation in the township and was recommended as an official by the Zhongzheng Official.
However, after turning 30, Xu Wu resigned and returned to his hometown. At that time, Xu Wu's two younger brothers not only saved a lot of money, but also succeeded in their studies.
Xu Wu, who returned to his hometown, did something that the township despised: he divided the family business into three, he owned most of the house and land, and his two younger brothers were polite and let him do what he wanted.
Xu Wu ruined his reputation for a while, but his two younger brothers moved the township, spread the name of filial piety, and were able to become officials in the court.
It wasn't until the two brothers returned to their hometown that Xu Wu re-divided the family property equally, revealing the truth that he was infamous and fulfilled the name of his two younger brothers, and was able to become the minister.
The countryside believes that Xu Wu is the true filial piety of his younger brother regardless of his own reputation, so this good story has been passed down to this day, and the Xu family of Huiji County is also known as the "filial brother Xu family".
"Hey," the ram sighed and remembered: "That is when the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was first established, the product is only based on filial piety, filial piety is loyal, and honesty is love the people. ā
Su Mushu smiled, and Ye Qiudi suddenly knew that he was going to make a big rebellion again.
Sure enough, she saw Su Musha put down the teacup, and said quickly: "I don't think this is a good story, in my opinion, he is no different from the high-grade family that controls the election of officials." ā
"Slap", the tea cup was slapped on the table, and the ram got up angrily, saying, "Why did the king of Shuobei say this?"
"Dare to ask sir, what should an official do?"
"For Junsi Sheji, for the well-being of the people!" said Ram Zigao.
"Xu Wu is the younger brother and the official, whose society is he thinking about, and whose well-being is he thinking?"
"Of course, your lordship. Ram Zigao replied, "Xu Wu made it clear that he educated his two younger brothers, originally to let them serve the imperial court, but he didn't want to become premature because of his false name, so that he was buried and not recommended by the central magistrate, so he made this decision!"
Su Musha smiled brightly, "Yes, even when the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is not controlled by the family, talented people have to let their brother risk the name of the emperor before they can be conferred, is this the way that Mr. Ram really expects to be conferred?"
The ram was stunned.
Ye Qiudi also had a slight understanding. Su Musha rarely told her about the temple, she and Ram Zigao had the same views on the way of conferring officials, the only difference was the question of priority, and now listening to Su Musha's tone, there was a complete intention to abolish it.
"The high-grade family is based on the family background, and Xu Wu uses filial piety and honesty as a step to enter the body, all of which point out the shortcomings of the positive system in the nine products. Xu Wu is a real celebrity, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people who seek fame and reputation to follow him, and then pass it on from generation to grandchild, and control the government in the name of 'filial piety'. Besides," Su Musha paused at this point.
"What's more?" asked the ram.
"In the Analects of Wei Linggong, Zi said: 'There is no class in teaching. He also advocated that there should be no class in education, believing that people rich and poor, rich and low, wise and foolish, good and evil, can listen to the teachings, and can also use the teachings to eliminate these differences, so why should they be restrained by family background, character and behavior, and hinder the display of other people's talents?
"Wouldn't people with bad conduct cause trouble to the dynasty and harm the people?" Ram Zigao couldn't help but retort.
"Sir's words are wrong, why does Nanshan Academy have the Sandu Mansion that is responsible for supervising it?" Su Musha asked, "It can be seen that even Confucian disciples have misconduct. ā
"Dayu controls the water, sparse but not blocked, and the same is true for talents. If the Confucian Church is used to persuade them, the supervisors will be able to restrain and even reform themselves even if they misbehave.
The ram opened his mouth high, closed it again, and thought about it carefully.
Su Mu covered him, his mouth was dry, and he was about to drink tea, but he saw Ye Qiudi also looking at him dumbfounded.
Su Musha winked at her, and the hand under the table reached over to touch her hand, holding it in the palm of his hand and playing with it.
Ye Qiudi was convinced that the unobtrusive little junior brother he was familiar with in front of him was in front of him, and he glanced at him charmingly, but he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.
"Since the prince advocates teaching students according to their aptitude, they don't know how to give officials and give full play to their talents?"
"Surrender to yourself!" Su Musha said decisively, "that is, the establishment of county examinations, county examinations, state examinations, palace examinations and other layers of assessments, no matter who you are, you can sign up, and those who pass the palace examination will be awarded official positions." ā
