Chapter 458 The Birth Of The Imperial Examination System
In the study, when Fang Xuanling said these words, Liu Bian naturally didn’t need to ask any further.
People with extraordinary wisdom like this are basically very proficient in the way of being wise and protecting themselves.
“I don’t know if Mr. has an idea for selecting talents?” Liu Bian continued to ask with a smile.
Fang Xuanling paused, then said: “The most important thing in selecting talents is to balance the power of the noble family and the poor family. Only the poor family also has room for promotion, and the passage of promotion can make up for the loopholes.
“Caomin believes that, first of all, we should vigorously set up schools, so that knowledge is not only circulated among noble families, but secondly, we can delineate a unified selection process, so that everyone can be on the same starting line, and the fittest will survive. In the long run, we may be able to completely solve the gentry. hazard.
Liu Bian is very clear about the method that Fang Xuanling said.
This is nothing more than the selection system of the imperial examinations, which was only completely perfected during the Tang Dynasty.
In the past, Liu Bian had also thought about it, but there was no room for implementation or possibility of implementation.
Now Fang Xuanling has just put forward such an idea, which makes him feel that it is time to bring this system to life again.
Thinking of this, Liu Bian’s face showed confidence.
He smiled and said, “I basically understand what Mr. said, and I have thought a lot about it these days. 35
“I would like to hear your majesty’s advice.” Fang Xuanling hurriedly cupped his hands.
Although he had considered a fair selection system, but after all, he had not yet had a perfect plan, and after listening to the emperor’s intentions, he had long thought that he was naturally happy and looked forward to Liu Bian’s next words.
Liu Bian said: “One is to let all those who want to be motivated in the world have a unified book, and the Tao of Confucius and Mencius is the basic. The other is that the imperial court organizes a joint assessment, so that all motivated people gather together to answer common questions.”
“Based on their answer sheets, they are selected and the fittest are eliminated.”
Of course what Liu Bian said is very simple, even very general, but these few words are like a light in the dark night.
Fang Xuanling’s originally cloudy thoughts were instantly combined.
The light in his eyes became more and more obvious (cdbi), and the respect for Liu Bian in his eyes became more and more obvious.
You must know that this problem has been bothering him for a long time, but today, with Liu Bian’s suggestion, everything seems to have an outline, and everything is imagined and has results.
How could he be unhappy? How could he be unhappy?
“Your Majesty’s words are extremely high, as long as this goes on, the influence of the family members in the court will become smaller and smaller, and officials will avoid monopoly through unified selection.
Speaking of happiness, Fang Xuanling even laughed directly.
He has a feeling that he is making history, that he is creating a whole new system.
Fang Xuanling was immersed in his own thinking, and did not return to calm for a long time.
Liu Bian just watched it calmly, and didn’t say anything to disturb him.
He knew how much influence the creation of this system would have on the future. He came from the new century, and he was naturally very clear about these systems, but Fang Xuanling and others had never heard of it, so shock was inevitable.
After a long time, Fang Xuanling came back to his senses, and found that he was in a daze in front of the emperor just now, and suddenly felt panic in his heart: “Caomin was inspired by His Majesty’s words just now, and he couldn’t help falling into contemplation, hoping His Majesty’s forgiveness.
Liu Bian smiled and shook his head: “What’s wrong with Mr.? Have you ever had an eye on this selection?”
Fang Xuanling nodded: “Although there are still some problems in Caomin’s heart that have not been clarified, the method that His Majesty just said is truly groundbreaking and unique. It can be said that from now on, the underprivileged children in the world will be grateful to His Majesty, even if it is a thousand years. After that, His Majesty’s prestige will remain on the history books.”
Liu Bian said: “I am going to leave this matter to Mr.
“One is to select those works of Confucianism for evaluation, and the other is to select people who must have personal experience in addition to knowledge and understanding of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius. ”
“After the three people are selected, they will be placed at different grassroots levels according to their rankings. Based on three years, they will conduct an assessment of the place where they are located, and the positions of these people will be dispatched according to the results of the assessment.
Naturally, the huge system of the imperial examination cannot be explained in a sentence or two, and Liu Bian explained it only according to what he knew.
Fang Xuanling deserves to be a man of superior ingenuity. The more he listens, the more he understands the vague thoughts in his mind. In the end, he even raised a series of questions such as how to supervise the officials and how to assess the real performance of these officials. .
Liu Bian also explained to Fang Xuanling some of the methods he knew in his previous life.
In short, the two men and ministers talked about selection matters from morning to night during this day.
The more he discussed, the more Fang Xuanling felt that Liu Bian was powerful and his unique insights.
The admiration for Liu Bian is also growing stronger.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Fang Xuanling still looked like he wanted to continue the discussion, which made Liu Bian have a headache.
Originally, he just explained some essentials of the imperial examination system to Fang Xuanling and let him start planning.
But Fang Xuanling, after feeling the novel thoughts in Liu Bian’s mind, broke the casserole and asked to the end, wanting to hear Liu Bian’s thoughts in every detail.
Liu Bian felt a bit of a headache because of his eagerness to learn.
But this imperial examination matter can be said that he is the only one in the world who is clear about it, so although it is a bit of a headache, he can still answer them one by one.
After all, all this is for his own country, and everything is for his own foundation.
After finally answering Fang Xuanling’s question, Liu Bian directly stood up and waved his hand: “Sir, today I have finished all my thoughts, and the remaining details still need to be pondered by Mr.
“After everything is finalized, I will review it.”
Fang Xuanling also felt a hint of impatience in Liu Bian’s heart, he hurriedly nodded and did not continue to ask questions.
“Caomin will definitely live up to His Majesty’s entrustment, and will definitely improve this selection system, but the name needs to be appointed by His Majesty.
Liu Bian got up and paced slowly. He said that he looked towards the dark night outside, and said softly: “It’s called the imperial examination system!!”
