Chapter 1041 : Chapter Five Hundred Eighteen Filial Piety System (2)
And if a Xiaolian sent by a certain county does poorly in the exam and commits fraud, the governor of that county will be beheaded in one word./www
It's not dismissal, just a simple but efficient beheading.
To be honest, the selection system that the three elders came up with is actually somewhat similar to the imperial examination in later generations. At the beginning, Liu Feng also considered the imperial examination.
This was a good way to break the monopoly of the gentry. But Liu Feng did not do it immediately for many reasons.[
On the one hand, there is the problem of paper promotion. Now the Han Dynasty already has Caihou paper, but because it is expensive to sell, it has little circulation. Without paper, there would be no printing technology, so bamboo slips would have to be used. Not only is it expensive, but it will not be widely circulated.
wide.
Nowadays, the so-called gentry are the aristocratic families with official status. The poor families are the powerful landlords. Bamboo slips, knowledge and power are mainly spread among these two classes.
Compared to the world's population, there are few scholars.
Imperial examination? It requires a certain number of scholars as a foundation. Without books and paper, there are not many scholars in the world. The lower-level examinations are meaningless.
This is one point.
The second point is that Liu Feng was also afraid that the imperial examination would not adapt to this era and would cause counter-effects, so Liu Feng did not dare to use it.
But now the method that the three elders have come up with perfectly solves these two problems.
The county did not need to take an exam and passed directly. The county guard selected ten people, and then the relevant aspects were conducted. The emperor personally took the exam and selected the talents.
There is obviously a loophole in this. If Xiaolian is selected by an honest county governor, he must be talented and learned. If Xiaolian is selected by a ****, he is probably a loser.
And there is a golden mean in the middle, which is Guanhu.
But the three old men are very hot, so just kill them one by one. If the person selected by the county guard does not perform well, then kill the county guard. This can avoid this problem.
With a knife hanging around his neck, Liu Feng believed that all the county governors in the world would be cautious when selecting Xiaolian.
This can achieve meritocracy.
Regardless of whether you are from a poor family or a noble family, as long as you have talent and learning, you will have a chance. This will not only allow Liu Feng to attract talents from all over the world, but also break the monopoly of the big families.
This is actually no different from the imperial examination.
What makes Liu Feng even more happy is that this method was thought up by Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan. In terms of keeping a low profile and being very discerning, these three old men combined are no match for him.
But these three old men have lived in this world for more than 200 years in total. Their experience is rich and sophisticated, and even if they are trying to flatter each other, they cannot catch up.
Since the three people have spent so much time thinking about it, the chance of passing it is very high.
This is a magic weapon. As long as we have this, talents from all over the world will continuously integrate into the entire Han Dynasty.[
In addition, the three elders also listed many rigid standards. They are divided into two categories: filial piety and talent.
The ancients attached great importance to virtue. Filial piety is the first of all virtues and can be regarded as a standard of virtue. There is no need to say more about it.
This standard provides a basis for selecting talents for the county guards below.
It can be seen that Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan really put a lot of thought into this filial piety and integrity system.
Liu Feng suppressed the joy in his heart, raised his fist and bowed deeply to the three of them, and said: "The revival of the Han Dynasty is all thanks to these three old gentlemen."
It is easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to defend it. The so-called famous officials and generals are only temporary choices, and within a few decades, they will all die out one after another.
