Past graduates of universities in various provinces are also eligible to participate. This is a special case of the reopening of the imperial examination. In the future, university graduates are only allowed to take the examination once - if they fail to pass the Jinshi examination, they will either be dismissed and become ninth-rank officials (Jinling University can
If you are released from the eighth level), you can either go to graduate school or make a living on your own.
Zhao Han's original idea for the public examination finally compromised with reality.
When local government offices organize public examinations on their own, there are bound to be many drawbacks. This has been proven. Today’s examinations for low-level officials are equivalent to the examinations for grassroots civil servants. Every year, many people are found to have used back doors...
In this case, it is better to continue to use the imperial examination system and be compatible with the public school system.
The selection system for officials at all levels is roughly as follows:
The government organizes the primary school graduation examination. Primary school students who successfully graduate can take the county civil service examination. Those who pass the examination can observe government and become county and town officials.
The province organizes the middle school graduation examination, and the outstanding middle school students who successfully graduate can go to university at public expense. Among them, the best three in the province can go to Jinling University at public expense. The remaining outstanding students can go to university in the province at public expense. Those who cannot afford public funding can go to college at their own expense.
University.
High school graduates who have not been able to go to college can take the provincial or prefectural civil service examination. Those who pass the exam can become provincial or government officials after observing government.
County and town officials can even be promoted to junior officials of the eighth or ninth grade due to their political performance. However, with the improvement of the official system in the future, the eighth or ninth grade petty officials are likely to be the limit of promotion for junior officials. Only those with super ability can cross it.
The threshold of Qipin County Magistrate.
If you are a public-funded student, as long as you can get a university diploma and you are willing to be an official, you can get a ninth-grade official position.
College graduates from all provinces, whether they are public-funded students or self-funded students, have one opportunity to take the examination.
Even if public-sponsored students are not admitted, local universities can still place them in the ninth grade, while Jinling University can place them in the eighth grade. Because even if they fail,
They are all one of the most talented people in the Ming Dynasty.
Let's put it this way, except for minority students and international students, Jinling University currently enrolls only more than 3 publicly funded students every year. With the popularization of first-class northern middle school education, the number will definitely increase. However, the number of publicly funded students in universities in various provinces is only 40 per year.
Five (depending on the number of states and counties).
At this time, there were only a few provinces with universities. Including Jinling University, there were less than 300 publicly funded university graduates every year. In the Ming Dynasty, the examinations were held every three years, and each session admitted about 300 to 400 people, at least
Officials of the seventh grade are released to the outside world.
The number of publicly funded college students under Zhao Han's rule totaled about 90 in three years. Those who failed to pass the exam were ranked eighth or ninth grade, but those who passed the exam were admitted to the highest eighth grade. In total, the number was even smaller than in the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, self-financed university graduates have to take the exam well. If they are not admitted by the general examination, they will not be qualified to be officials and can only take the public examination for civil servants at the provincial level.
North Korean students like Choi Wenxiu are also regarded as self-funded students.
He was born into a wealthy Korean family, but after studying in Nanjing, he never wanted to go back. In order to stay, he studied hard and forgot to eat and sleep, and finally got a university diploma. He is also the only international student who can graduate. But he still has to try.
Only if you are admitted can you stay and become an official. Otherwise, you can only work as a Beijing official in Nanjing.
After verifying her identity, Cui Wenxiu entered the inspection room and took off her clothes. Even her underwear was carefully checked to prevent any information related to the exam from being included.
After finally entering the examination room, Cui Wenxiu was nervous and excited.
This session of the examination will still use two sets of questions.
As an international student, Cui Wenxiu took the new education paper. In the morning, she took Confucian classics (Four Books and Five Classics) and Datong theory, and in the afternoon, she took mathematics and physics. Next, she also took tests on astronomy, geography, law, official documents, water conservancy, farming, etc.
There are a total of two days for the examination.
Due to different university majors, you can choose exam questions, just like the scholars of the previous dynasty chose the Five Classics. However, Confucian classics, mathematics, official documents and Datong theory are compulsory for students regardless of their major.
While Cui Wenxiu was nervously answering questions, Li Jixiu and Zhang Zhaoyong were also answering traditional education papers.
Li Jixiu felt that the questions in the general examination were more difficult. Even if he studied mathematics and physics on his own after taking the examination in another country, he would still be blind when he encountered it. The difficulty of the examination was infinitely close to the unified examination for middle school graduation in various provinces.
Dead, dead, Li Jixiu's eyes dimmed.
After the two-day examination, it was time for marking.
The new education papers are graded in two rooms: liberal arts and science, so there will be no room teachers. The old education papers are still graded in the Five Classics room. Anyway, there are only so many people, and they are gradually being cancelled. It doesn't matter whether there are room teachers.
Also, candidates are prohibited from visiting the teacher after the exam!
This was the first joint examination of the new dynasty. Chen Maosheng, the Minister of Rites, was responsible for organizing it. The examiner should have been the Minister of Personnel. However, in order to reflect the importance of the court, the examiner directly asked Song Yingxing to be the examiner.
After half a month, we will try to release the rankings.
The old and new lists will admit 100 people each.
Cui Wenxiu stood under the new list, looked from back to front, and suddenly saw himself. He shouted excitedly: "I won, I won, ninety-sixth place!"
Li Jixiu also shouted on the old list: "I won, ranked 45th!"
Under the old list, Sun Chengen looked at the list in disbelief, and his friends beside him raised their hands in succession: "Congratulations to Brother Fusang for being the first in the high school class today!"
Historically, Sun Chengen was the number one scholar in the Shunzhi Dynasty.
In this time and space, Sun Chengen was forcibly separated from his family and immigrated to Shandong because he was born into a wealthy family in Changshu. He complained at first, but unexpectedly, times turned around and he passed the Shandong Provincial Examination under the age limit.
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is still another page ^0^ Today I won the first place on the old list of the National Examination.
Some were happy and some were sad. The graduates from publicly financed universities who failed the entrance examination left the scene with a wry smile. In fact, there were not many. Many of the past graduates, those with public finance, have joined the workforce.
The really large number of people were self-financed graduates from previous universities. At this time, the cries were loud. The emperor said that there was only one chance to take the college entrance examination. If you fail this time, you can only take the exam for provincial government officials. Self-financed students like them
He is not even qualified to be directly promoted to a ninth-grade official.
To be honest, you deserve it!
Even if they are self-financed students, not many can graduate from university. It has been several years since graduation and they have not been selected by the government, which means they are really not very capable.
Moreover, he has high vision and is unwilling to take the initiative to do things.
Self-financed graduates who are truly proactive have already gone directly to take the civil service examination. They have the status of college students and are promoted faster. Some of the earliest batch of self-financed graduates are already serving as county magistrates.
In the future, the selection of officials will tend to be formalized and systematic, but it will no longer be so smooth. They will delay themselves purely by themselves.
A few days later, the successful candidates went to the Forbidden City and went to the Chengtian Hall to take the imperial examination.
A total of 200 people from both the old and new lists were waiting outside the main hall before dawn.
Zhang Zhaoyong failed the exam, and Li Jixiu has no acquaintances. He has been spending time in the library of Qintianyuan these days and has not been invited to banquets or make friends.
Finally, there were female officials and guards calling for the emperor to ascend to the palace. Sun Chengen, who was number one on the old list, lined up with his fellow scholars to enter. On the other side of the new list, the number one on the new list was Zhang Shouyue, but he was the son of a small businessman from Guangdong.
Zhao Han wanted to promote northern scholars, but the old and new rankings were ranked first, and their ancestral homes were all in the south. However, Sun Chengen was forcibly separated and forced to immigrate to Shandong.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Two hundred scholars all bowed to each other and arranged their seats for the examination according to their ranking.
The main hall follows the rules of physics. Zhao Han's voice was not loud, but it could be heard near the door: "No courtesy, please sit down."
These two hundred people have already passed the Jinshi examination, so there is no need to play new tricks. The imperial examination only tests policy theory as in the Ming Dynasty.
Li Jixiu quickly got the test paper: March 15th, I will make a plan to pay tribute to the world. Make the day: I support the heaven to serve the people, and I have been king of Huayi for many years. I am respectful day and night, dare not be lazy, and have the people in my mind.
, hoping that all people will gain something. The world today is different from that of the past. In the west, there are powerful European countries that cross the sea and colonize all over the world. In the east, there is a vast continent, which is vast and sparsely populated. Between the east and west, there are Ottomans, Persia,
The Mughals were both huge empires. The Rakshasa Kingdom in the north was already on the shores of the North Sea. This is a major change that has never been seen in the world. How should China deal with it?
What the hell?
Li Jixiu was a little dumbfounded. This topic was too big. It looked at the whole world and asked how China should develop.
Fortunately, he has been reading these days. If he hadn't read through "The Map of the Four Seas", Li Jixiu wouldn't be able to figure out where the Rakshasa Kingdom is.
Take the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty as an example. Although the proficiency test relied on eight-part essays, the palace examination must have tested practical issues.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial examination was about how to deal with the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. The answer given in the imperial examination was to establish a solid border and make every step of the way. Another example is the imperial examination of Yang Shenzhong, which coincided with the uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi. The imperial examination was about how to prevent and quell the uprising.
Civil unrest.
Emperor Jiajing once had a palace examination that was more practical. He directly asked how to manage the emperor's finances because he didn't have enough money.
The first person in the Xinbanghui kept his promise, thought about it a little, and answered with a pen: "I said to the Japanese: During the Three Dynasties, the world was the Central Plains. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the world below was today's China. Now, the world must be the four seas.
Countries. How are they different? In the past three generations, boats and vehicles were inconvenient, and traveling a hundred miles was called a hike. Farming was not popular, and it was not easy to govern ten thousand people. In today's world, sailing across the sea can cover a hundred thousand miles, and it can be reached in a matter of years."
"For example, the Spanish, a small country in Europe, colonized America, captured the local people as slaves, and plundered countless gold and silver. Another example is the Dutch, a small country that relied on commerce for government and dominated the world."
"We, China, are a country of etiquette and are not the same as the barbarians. However, we must not be arrogant for the future without thinking about the future. Instead, we must look at the world and govern our affairs. The emperor of Zhou divided the princes into feudal princes, and the princes turned the barbarians into citizens. The ancient Eastern Yi
, Xidi, Nanman, and Beirong are all Chinese today."
"Those who are not willing to obey the king's rule in the foreign countries should be educated and educated. Go and raise the army, abolish the Ryukyu Kingdom and establish counties. I know your Majesty's intention. The kings and ministers of this country are acting against each other, bullying the Holy Lord at the top, and crippling the people at the bottom. We have great unity.
China should be conquered and benevolent to its people. This is also an act of benevolence and righteousness. A hundred years later, the people of Ryukyu will be like the barbarians of ancient times, and they will become our Chinese people because of their education..."
Zhang Shou started his education when he was about five years old. He went to private school for several years, and went to elementary school, middle school, and university. In addition, he was born on the coast of Guangdong. He has heard about overseas affairs for a long time, and now he often reads newspapers to understand national policies. His thinking is actually similar to that of Zhao Han.
Highly consistent.
(I had gout a few days ago, and my hands and feet hurt whenever I moved them. Alas, from now on I can’t drink beer, broth, seafood, offal, soy products, or even crayfish. I feel like my life has lost its meaning.)
