The government order was announced and the world was shocked!
News one after another reached Li Er's ears.
Some people didn't understand the imperial examination system at all. Even after explaining it to them, they had nothing to do with them. Everyone just watched the excitement quietly, not knowing why.
But those who are familiar with the imperial examination system are excited.
The implementation of the imperial examination system was great for people like them.
They have some talent, but due to family problems or expectations, they cannot be recommended.
I originally thought of doing nothing in this life, but now the imperial examination is an opportunity.
On the other hand, some clan members began to complain in their hearts, complaining about the injustice to their clan members after the implementation of the imperial examination system.
The members of my clan were so loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but in the end they were treated like this by the Tang Dynasty?
The person who criticized the most harshly was the person who would be recommended to the court this year.
According to the original rules, this group of people will be recommended to become officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Because the imperial examination system was to be held, they had no chance.
Hearing the complaints from their group, Li Eryi became angry.
As an emperor, he can also look at many things rationally.
This group of noble families also recommended many talents to the court.
Today, they continue to display their talents in some important positions in Datang.
But there is no denying the fact that these clan leaders are extremely ambitious.
Officials protect each other and recommend their relatives, friends, and even family members.
In addition to some talented people, there are also some recommended people who can only grow a beard and flatter horses, know a few big words, and can't do anything else.
If we arrange them all throughout the Tang Dynasty, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, it will be like putting the people of the Tang Dynasty on a barbecue.
The reason why common people are common people is that they don’t know that much.
I would only think it was because of the court.
In fact, the policies above the court are beneficial to the people.
However, the methods implemented by the governments below were very different.
It would be strange if those people who only know how to flatter people and have no talent are placed everywhere, and if the government does not force the people to rebel.
Of course, in order to properly solve the recommendation system, I also reconvened the imperial examination system, and I made a step forward in this regard.
That is to allow the recommendation to continue to be implemented this fall.
However, the implementation of this recommendation system also has its own prerequisites.
That is, everyone recommended is registered, and everyone must take the imperial examination next year.
Anyone who takes the imperial examination next year will continue to be promoted in their original position as long as they pass.
On the other hand, those that fail will be eliminated.
This is also a concession made by me to their clan clan and even the recommendation system.
Thinking of these, I couldn't help but feel angry.
If it weren't for the fact that the Tang clan was deeply rooted, and I really wanted to take tough measures and uproot them all, I wouldn't have had to deal with so many things that would have been so troublesome!
And all their clan members also knew that this concession was the result of joint discussions between the two parties.
But in the end, it’s unclear which system will remain.
In the following period, the entire Tang Dynasty began to enter a peaceful stage again.
On the contrary, there is a lot of discussion among the people about the imperial examination system this summer.
In all prefectures and counties, everyone who got the news went to the government to register.
There is no charge for registration, and you can vote to express your determination to recruit talented people from all over the world.
Li Er even asked all states and counties to provide financial support to students from poor families.
The money spent will be reimbursed by the national treasury, and the officials in each state and county who take part in the imperial examination this year will receive heavy rewards.
Li Er's order caused officials from various prefectures and counties to start searching for students who participated in the imperial examination throughout their jurisdiction.
This is a business that is sure to make a profit, and if there are a few high school talents in the entire county, they will naturally rise.
"Sister-in-law Yu, are you at home?"
An old woman who was standing in the yard packing her things heard a rush of footsteps and voices coming from outside.
Looking up, isn't this the village chief?
I was wondering, why did the village chief come to my home?
Is there something wrong?
"I don't know why the village chief came here today. My husband is not at home."
"Sister-in-law Yu, I'm not here to see your husband today. I want to tell you about the situation.
Today, an order came from the county magistrate to ask literate people in every village.
I remember your husband once saved a teacher who was teaching.
I wonder if that teacher taught your son a private school for five years as a way of repaying his kindness?"
"That, village chief, is already a thing of the past."
Originally, they saw that their son could become an official by flying high in the future if he could read and write.
But the water in this government is too deep, and ordinary people like them with no power have no chance at all.
Later, my son came back from the county town and worked with them all the time.
"Sister-in-law Yu, I came here today to tell you the good news.
The benevolent and righteous heart of the Holy Spirit today calls for the establishment of an imperial examination system to recruit talented people from all over the world.
This summer I will go to Chang'an City to take the imperial examination. If I succeed in the imperial examination, I will be able to stay in Chang'an and serve the Holy Emperor.
Your elder brother has been studying in a private school for several years, so I took it upon myself to recommend him."
After hearing what he said, Sister-in-law Yu's face turned ugly.
Being an official will definitely cost money, but they have nothing at home.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Yu. This trip to Chang'an will be funded by the government. You wait for them to come back tonight. Remember to go to the county town tomorrow to report your Majesty's decree. It doesn't cost money. Who else has read the book? I
Let’s go now, remember to go to the government office tomorrow.”
Seeing the village chief's back, Sister-in-law Yu looked confused, thinking to herself, could it be true? This chapter has been completed!
