"You will hand out the test papers yourself?"

Hear this.

Everyone looked surprised and suspicious.

"To be precise, I personally issued the examination papers."

Guan Ning said: "I would also like to explain that this time the examination paper will undergo major changes. The original poems, poems, scriptures, Mo Yi, etc. that were tested will be directly cancelled. The main focus will be on practical items such as classics, theory, and policy.

, at the same time, the proportion of explicit methods and explicit calculations will be increased, and there will be other new content. In short, it will be very different from the original."

He paused and then said, "But these are none of your business. The test papers will be delivered to you before the exam."

Guan Ning's words made many people's expressions change slightly, but they were not too surprised because he had mentioned it in private conversations with everyone, just to let them be prepared.

He proposed boldly and blocked the mouths of these people because he really had no interest in talking nonsense with them.

It doesn't make any sense.

Guan Ning's meaning is very clear. I have pointed out the way for you, you just need to execute it.

They are all smart people, so they naturally understood what Guan Ning meant, and suppressed any thoughts they had.

They already know His Majesty's style.

Since the founding of the new dynasty, everything has started anew.

Almost everything is changing!

What is this?

In fact, they have already prepared in advance.

"What I want to ask is, what are the forms of the two exams you mentioned? Are the initial exams completed locally and the final exams completed in Beijing?"

A state pastor asked.

They don't need to take care of the test papers, which can actually save a lot of trouble.

"It's all done locally and organized by local governments."

Guan Ning said: "The initial test can be completed in the county capital, and the final test can be completed in the state capital."

"Don't you need to go to Beijing?"

Some officials spoke in surprise.

Many people are also confused.

For such an important exam, shouldn’t the final exam be held in the capital?

Now it has been reduced to two shows, both of which are done locally.

"Why do you have to go to Beijing to take the exam?"

Guan Ning asked rhetorically.

This word appeared very frequently in ancient times, and was often accompanied by various stories.

Half of the stories in Liaozhai take place on the way to Beijing to take the exam.

Let’s just say it’s scary or not.

Guan Ning feels that he has done a good thing by canceling this item, but those novelists may have no material...

His words really stunned people.

In the past, the imperial examination was held in the capital, and there was a special tribute academy. After that, you had to participate in the palace examination.

Take the top three and receive the emperor's favor.

All of these must be carried out in Beijing, as well as the most important palace examination.

Now that major changes have been made, there is really no need.

But why does it always seem like this scientific examination is a bit of a joke?

It's really a bit simpler.

Guan Ning said: "Candidates from all over the country go to Beijing to take the exam and waste a lot of time on the road. In addition, there are travel expenses. Many candidates cannot afford it, so it makes no sense."

This is indeed very reasonable. Some candidates have gone bankrupt just to take the exam this time...

Still the same sentence.

The imperial court is in urgent need of talents and cannot afford to delay them. It should be treated specially under special circumstances.

They are already learning to accept it.

Because it can't be changed.

Obviously His Majesty has thought it over carefully, and summoning them here is not for discussion, but just for notification.

I still have this awareness.

"The reason why this examination is all completed locally is because it is a major reform of this scientific examination!"

"Is there any reform?"

Guan Ning's words made everyone stunned again.

This reform is not big enough. The content and process of the scientific examination have all been changed!

"Yes."

Guan Ning said solemnly: "The admission rules for this examination will not be like those of the previous imperial examinations, but will be based on local needs."

"For example, a certain county is currently vacant of two officials, namely the chief registrar and the superintendent. Then we will announce and post them in advance. We will need these two officials. Candidates can apply for the exam on their own and be admitted based on their merits. In the same way, other officials

The same goes for counties and states.”

In order to let everyone understand, Guan Ning explained it in detail.

"In this way, we can supplement each direction and immediately meet local needs."

After his words fell, there was a moment of silence in the venue.

Obviously, they are all quickly digesting this new method of recruiting scholars.

They quickly think through the pros and cons in their minds.

One of the state pastors stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is a good idea. In the past, you had to at least win the imperial examination to have a chance to become an official. But now, as long as you win the imperial examination, you can directly take office. This will definitely increase the enthusiasm of those who apply!"

What they are all worried about is that there will be a boycott of exams.

In this case, at least some people can change their attitudes.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

For example, in some small counties, the population is small and there are only a few scholars, so the competitive pressure will be very small.

Only a fool would miss it.

"If there are only poor positions in our county and better positions in neighboring counties, and candidates all go to neighboring counties to apply, but no one applies to our county, what should we do?"

Another state pastor raised a question.

"That's a good question."

"Do you want to restrict applicants to only the county?"

"This is inappropriate. All officials are locals, which can easily breed gangs and endanger one party."

"Ordinary officials don't have many restrictions. If they are county magistrates, they will be transferred within three years of their tenure. There is no problem. Besides, the selection is only for basic officers."

"That's right."

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically.

Guan Ning explained: "If this happens, the admitted person must obey the adjustment."

"That is to say, it is not necessarily the case that what you apply for will be the same. You need to make this clear to the candidates before applying. But I think it is not a problem. After all, this is an opportunity to directly naturalize and become an official."

"yes!"

"If that's the case, there's no problem."

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

The normal imperial examination is too difficult. Only about 300 tribute scholars are admitted every year. This number may seem like a lot, but if you look at it nationwide, it is too few.

The competitiveness is quite high!

The key is that you may not be able to become an official yet. Now you are naturalized directly, that is, you are directly admitted to the establishment.

This is the real Enko.

Everyone sighed.

And it does echo the current situation and simplifies the admission process, but it is very practical.

Although it is unprecedented.

But can't find anything wrong with it.

At this moment, Song Yongnian, the Minister of Rites, said: "According to this admission process, it is very likely that the people selected will be mixed, and they may even be mediocre. The purpose of recruiting scholars is to select talents for the imperial court. If we select scholars for the purpose of recruiting scholars,

, isn’t it putting the cart before the horse?”

He stood up, looking slightly disappointed.

The Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for the selection of scholars through the imperial examination, but now it has no hand in it, and its sense of presence is extremely low.

His Majesty told him before.

In the future, matters such as education and scientific examinations will be taken care of by the Academic Affairs Department, which is a division of power from the Ministry of Rites.

“Simplifying the process doesn’t mean it’s less difficult!”
