Chapter 156: Should the imperial examination be reformed?
Lin Yi attached great importance to this memorial. It was to select talents for the future of the Tang Dynasty. If the system was not good, it would directly lead to a reduction in national strength. This was not what he wanted to see, so he thought for a long time before writing.
He was still writing until Li Chengqian came back from school for dinner.
Li Chengqian did not disturb him. Just looking at Lin Yi's expression, he knew that what he was doing now was definitely important.
It wasn't until Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and put down his pen that he walked over and picked it up to read.
The subjects and examination requirements of the imperial examination? Li Chengqian only saw this one question, and tilted his head and looked at Lin Yi in surprise.
How could he write this? Did his father ask him to be the examiner? It’s so unbelievable!
With shock, Li Chengqian continued reading.
Imperial examination subjects:
Arithmetic: The top three will be selected. Examination requirements: Familiar with accounting, proficient in using arithmetic chips, and able to solve various arithmetic problems.
Economics: Take the top five. Examination requirements: Proficient in the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.
Agricultural Science: Take the top ten. Examination requirements: Be familiar with agricultural crops in various places, have experience in working in the fields, be able to properly deal with various natural disasters, have a complete idea of governing a county, have a brief understanding of the criminal law of the Tang Dynasty, and be good at
Resolve neighborhood conflicts.
Law: Take the top five. Examination requirements: Proficient in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, good at analysis, and uphold justice.
Medicine: Take the top three. Examination requirements: Proficient in medicinal herbs, have at least three years of medical experience, and have never killed anyone due to mistakes.
Martial Arts: Take the top three. Requirements for taking the exam: Proficient in bow, horse and cavalry, familiar with the art of war. Have some research on battle formations.
What a novelty! Li Chengqian was very impressed, and then saw a note at the back.
The employment trends of those who were successful in the imperial examination:
The principle is that the imperial examination is held every three years. Those who have passed the arithmetic subject can compile arithmetic books, and can also work as officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Those who have passed the economics subject will be assigned to the Chongwen Hall to proofread books, and then they will be appointed as officials. Those who have passed the agricultural major will be assigned to various counties.
Intern county magistrates. Those who perform well after one year will be converted into official officials. Those who have passed the law major can be assigned to Dali Temple or various states and counties to be in charge of criminal law. Those who have passed the medical major can intern at the Imperial Medical Office or serve as military doctors in the army. Those who have passed the martial arts major
The advance of the troops will be arranged by the general.
"Uh... Xiao Yi? Does the emperor want to reform the imperial examination?" Li Chengqian only had this question after reading it. He would not refute Lin Yi's plan. Even if he didn't agree with it, it was probably his own fault. Lin Yi
You can never go wrong in this matter.
"I don't know..." Lin Yi was thinking next to him whether he had forgotten something.
"Then why did you write this? And write it in a memorial?"
"My godfather wants it, but I don't know if he wants to reform it or not."
"My lord, have you finished writing it? The emperor is waiting for it." Eunuch Gao's voice sounded outside.
"Just come." Lin Yi happened to be ready to hand it over.
Lin Yi picked up the memorial, pulled Li Chengqian along, and walked towards the door of the room.
Li Chengqian understood that Lin Yi was afraid of being scolded and was looking for someone to embolden him. It seemed that he was very calm on the surface, but in fact he was not confident in his heart.
Li Shimin and a group of close civil servants were still waiting in the Manlu Hall, discussing political affairs word by word. When Lin Yi arrived, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"Bring it to me and see."
Lin Yi obediently presented the memorial.
After looking at it for a while, Li Shimin said: "You go back first and go to the construction site tomorrow to direct the construction of the water tower."
Lin Yi and Li Chengqian were kicked out inexplicably. They looked at each other and Lin Yi said, "Take me to see my godmother."
"Let's go." He arrived at the Li Zheng Hall. After being informed, he was quickly invited into the hall.
"Xiaoyi is back. Come here and let your godmother take a look." Empress Changsun was still so gentle, but now there was more joy on her face.
"Godmother, I heard that you are pregnant." Lin Yi looked at the belly of Empress Changsun.
"Well, it's only more than two months old. You can't tell it yet. Didn't you take good care of yourself? You're already tanned." Empress Changsun exuded a more maternal look.
Li Chengqian was looking at the sky, and Xiao Yi had gained so much weight. It seemed like he was living a good life.
"Haha, I'm doing well. I brought back a lot of seafood, uh... but it doesn't seem to be suitable for pregnant women." Lin Yi scratched his head. He didn't know that his godmother was pregnant when he brought it, so he didn't know it.
Prepare other gifts.
"It's okay, I can't eat it, but the emperor and Gao Ming can eat it. I'm very happy to see it." Empress Changsun touched Lin Yi's head. This child is really considerate.
After chatting with his godmother, Lin Yi and Li Chengqian left the palace gate together.
When Lin Yi returned home, he found that his home had once again become a children's amusement park.
Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Hualiang were skateboarding on his family's martial arts training ground. Qin Wei was helping Du He ride a two-wheeled bicycle. Changsun Chong was on the side with bad ideas. He laughed when he saw someone falling.
"This is the toy you brought back? Teach me how to play." Li Chengqian excitedly pulled Lin Yi into the field.
Lin Yi had no choice but to look at the cement pavement he had built. It was the place where he used to practice Bagua Bu, and it had become a place for games.
I did a few demonstrations on my skateboard and received a lot of praise.
Changsun rushed over and grabbed Lin Yi: "You have to make a few more of these and sell them in my shop."
This thing is so good that others can’t copy it. But Xiaoyi probably won’t make a lot of it, so if you want to go the premium route, it must be expensive, very expensive!
He got into money again.
"Okay, okay, it's time to eat. I will check your training progress later. Anyone who fails will not be allowed to play." Lin Yi clapped his hands to attract their attention.
As soon as they heard what Lin Yi said, these children ran wildly towards the dining room. They were all qualified, so it didn't mean that after the inspection, they could have fun.
"Why do I feel like they look so much like monkeys?" Li Chengqian was dumbfounded. These little brats didn't look like everyone else together.
"Actually, you are very similar." Lin Yi walked away with a smile.
Li Chengqian was left alone here, feeling depressed.
After dinner, Lin Yi first went to Sun Simiao's courtyard and talked with the master about the old madman.
Lin Yi didn't hide anything, even telling him about going out to assassinate him in the middle of the night.
After hearing this, Sun Simiao shook his head helplessly, Xiao Yi was still too impulsive.
"Did you know that if you don't kill a tiger, you will be harmed by it? If you are not completely sure, you should not do it. This will only expose yourself. I dare say that the Ji'an religion is just the calm before the storm now. You know, he
In the dark, even if you are not afraid, what about your family and friends? Those people do things unscrupulously, and you are so impulsive." The apprentice does not understand, and the master must teach. But Sun Simiao hated himself for teaching too late.
Lin Yi lowered his head to listen to the instruction. In fact, it was not that he did not understand what the master said, but he just saw that the culprit who hurt his sisters was right in front of him, and he really had no choice but to do something.
"In any case, you must be careful when entering and exiting in the future, and the security of the mansion must be strengthened. If someone goes out, they should follow more guards. Now we can only hope that the emperor will get rid of this organization as soon as possible." Sun Simiao also knew.
It's useless to say anything now, everything is a foregone conclusion.
"Yes. I will arrange it." Lin Yi nodded and agreed, even if the master didn't say it, he would do it.
"Okay, you must have a lot of things to deal with when you come back. Go and get busy." Sun Simiao sighed and rubbed Lin Yi's head.
Lin Yi came out from the master's place. Then he checked the progress of several children. They were all very good. Their spiritual power had broken through and reached the level of a real magician. It seemed that they were not lazy.
"Why didn't Brother Yuchi and Fang Jun come?" Lin Yi asked Changsun Chong.
"They didn't meet the standards you set, so they didn't dare to come. But they can't hide for long." Changsun Chong said with some gloating.
Lin Yi smiled. In fact, he didn't care very much. Teaching these people was just for the sake of the adults. Besides, if they are not at the level of a great magician and cannot absorb magic elements, they are just smarter than others. Nothing.
How useful it is. It’s just those people don’t know.
"Go and play. Gao Ming and Chang Sun Chong are staying." Lin Yi let out the little devil who had been standing aside for a long time.
Changsun Chong, who originally planned to follow them, looked longingly at their running backs.
"Let's talk, how is the project going?"
"Everything went well!" Changsun Chong was thinking about going out to play, and answered Lin Yi absentmindedly.
"How successful is it? Is it all finished?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Actually, the progress is not very fast, but the entire shelf is almost completed. The glass windows have not been installed, and the walls have not been painted yet. But Xiaoyi... do you really want to install glass? Glass is very expensive!" Li Chengqian was very excited!
I feel sorry for the money in my hand.
"Ah? You know that refining glass is easy and the cost is not high? If your godmother can't sell it to you, the price will be the same as selling it outside?" Lin Yi was a little surprised. Are they really so greedy?
"It's cheaper than that, but the problem is that my father and mother don't want glass to become a poor product for the time being. This will lower the quality of glass." In fact, Li Chengqian did not agree with Lin Yi in this regard.
Lin Yi touched his chin and thought for a while, "It's better to get it right at once. Don't you think our building will become more marketable after installing glass?"
"That's right." Li Chengqian had never thought about this before.
"Oh... you can leave if you want." Lin Yi waved his hand and freed Changsun Chong.
This kid moves around in his chair as if there are nails under his butt. It affects people's thoughts.
Lin Yi made an appointment with Li Chengqian to go to the construction site tomorrow and let him go. He sat on the sofa and thought about what he was going to do in the future.
There are too many unreasonable systems in the country of the Tang Dynasty. There are such good Confucius and Mencius, but they always say it but don't do it. It can be said that most of the literati are very hypocritical. They will intercept and intercept them out of context.
Refute you if you want. You will definitely not win by arguing with them. Moreover, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty only selected such people. With such people occupying high positions, how can this country develop well?
If the development is not good, how can the national power be strong? If the national power is not good, how can the safety of him and his family be ensured? Especially since Li Chengqian is still the prince, he cannot be ignored.
Lin Yi is very troubled. Wanting to bring a country back to the right path is such a simple thing. When will he be able to leisurely travel around with his family and friends?
Everyone who left Lin Yi was happily having fun in the martial arts training ground. A group of naughty boys had their clothes torn.
When Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Hualiang returned home, Cheng Yaojin thought that Lin Yi had taken all his anger out on these two boys.
After asking carefully, I found out that he fell on a skateboard. He laughed loudly and boasted that like father, like son, he liked it, and so did his two bastard sons. It seems that the Cheng family will have two more in the future.
General.
While the father and son were discussing changing the garden to cement pavement, Mrs. Cheng appeared.
She was furious when she saw her two sons, who looked like clay monkeys, happily planning her garden with their father.
He reached out and grabbed the ears of his two sons and pulled them away. Before leaving, he glared at Cheng Yaojin fiercely, leaving a look that said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Cheng Yaojin smiled stiffly, "Oh no, it's too big!" dd
