Chapter 594: A woman can be an official
"I don't know ......"
Li Muman drank a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and immediately, looked at the people in the hall with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Wait...... Do you understand? β
"This way of taking scholars in the imperial examination is really extraordinary!"
"The lord has such a wonderful idea, it is really the work of God and man!" β¦β¦
Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Zhang Ji, Zhuge Jun, Pang Shanmin, Dian Wei and others immediately nodded to show their understanding. Immediately, everyone stood up, bowed in the direction of their lord, and said with a look of admiration.
"The way of taking the imperial examination is really a measure that benefits the people for a thousand years. With the way of taking the imperial examination, there are people of insight all over the world...... There will be more and more, and the poor students will also have a bright future. In addition, the implementation of the imperial examination is conducive to the rule of the imperial court, the country's science and technology, and the development of the world's commerce! β
Li Mu nodded, raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said in a solemn voice: "It's just, then again...... It is by no means an easy task to smoothly implement the way of taking scholars through the imperial examination. If the way of taking the imperial examination can be implemented smoothly, it will surely benefit the society of the world and the people of Limin! β
Everyone in the hall nodded yes thoughtfully!
"Don't worry, lord! As long as we work together, the way of taking the imperial examination will be implemented smoothly and we will be able to achieve something! β
Immediately, Jiang Wan said with an excited face: "If the way of taking scholars in the imperial examination can be successfully implemented, people of insight in the whole world will become protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and they will definitely be sincerely loyal to the imperial court." And so on...... The powerful family in the world will definitely suffer a major blow. Even if, our army no longer uses the means of force...... Deliberately cut off the family, the decline of the family will be just around the corner! β
"What Gong Yan said is reasonable!"
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand lightly, first approving, and then said in a solemn voice: "Now, looking at the whole world, the family is strong...... is still a reader who controls the world, a person of insight, and a person of insight, who controls the right to speak in the world. Nowadays, in addition to our army's Liangzhou Academy, there are very few students from poor families, and the way to take the imperial examination is still conducive to the strong family. β
Li Mu nodded approvingly.
Jiang Wan, Zhang Ji and others also nodded yes with deep understanding. Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, the expressions on everyone's faces became a little solemn.
In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that their own lord's implementation of the way of taking the imperial examination is to absorb students from poor families as officials and break the situation of monopolizing education and public opinion by the powerful families. If...... Continuing to let the family benefit from the way of the imperial examination is by no means a situation that the lord of the family is willing to see.
"Kong Ming can have such concerns, it is really as wise as a torch!"
Li Mu looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile on his face, and laughed loudly: "Want to come...... In Kong Ming's heart, there is a solution. β
"My lord! At present, the powerful families under the rule of our army, although they have suffered heavy blows, are still in the death struggle, and there are not a few people of insight in their hands. But...... In the private schools of Liangzhou Academy and various states and counties, it is mainly composed of poor students! β
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said loudly in a loud voice with a bamboo in his chest: "That is the case, Liang thinks ...... This year, and even in the next few years, the source of students for the imperial examination can be mainly from...... Students from Liangzhou Academy and private schools in various states and counties are admitted. And so on...... In a few years, the number of people of insight in the poor family will be able to exceed the number of people in the hands of the powerful family. β
Zhuge Liang values Liangzhou Academy so much and speaks for poor students because the children of officials under the entire Liangzhou Army are studying in Liangzhou Academy. For the sake of the poor students, that is, for the sake of the emerging scholars under the command of the lord.
"What Kong Ming said is exactly what I want!"
Li Mu agreed with a word of approval, and then said in a solemn voice: "Right now, it is May, and in August this year, we can try out the way of taking scholars through the imperial examination. This time, the requirements for the selection of scholars in the imperial examination do not have to be completely in accordance with the provisions mentioned above, and the requirements can be appropriately relaxed. After today, this matter will be passed on to the entire Liangzhou Army and spread to the world. β
Everyone led the order in unison: "We, we will obey the orders of the lord and the army, and we will live up to the trust of the lord!"
β
"Lord!"
Zhang Ji seemed to have thought of something tricky, and hesitated with a very solemn face: "Among the students of Liangzhou Academy...... There are also quite a few women. This trial of the imperial examination, can you admit female students? β
At present, there are three Liangzhou Academies under Li Mu's command, which are in Ningcheng, Liangzhou, Wancheng, Nanyang County, and Chiyangwu Fort in Guanzhong. Among them, Cai Yong is the director of Ningcheng Academy, Qiao Gong is the director of Chiyang Wubao Academy, and Huang Chengyan is the director of Wancheng Academy.
Indeed, as Zhang Ji said, when Li Mu founded Ningcheng Liangzhou Academy, he recruited female students. Over the years, the number of female students in the three academies is really not a single number.
Vaguely, Li Mu remembered that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history, during the period of Emperor Liu Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a woman named Han Lanying, who was not only an official, but also experienced the seven emperors of the Southern Song and Qi dynasties, known as Han Gong, and this woman was quite respected by the emperor and ministers.
During the Tang Dynasty in history, the number of women as officials was still relatively large, such as: Xie Yaohuan, Song Ruoxin, Song Ruozhao, Song Ruoxian, Shangguan Wan'er, etc. Some of these female officials are palace officials, and some are court officials.
But this is the Han Dynasty, Li Mu recruited female students, and he was already a maverick. Now, if you let a female student become an official, it must be a bit of a big disapproval from the world. This matter is really a bit tricky!
For a while, Li Mu didn't have a decision in his chest, so he asked: "Do you have a good plan?" β
Hearing what his lord said, everyone was a little confused.
"Throughout the ages, it is very rare for a woman to be an official! Since there are many female students in Liangzhou Academy, it would be inappropriate to treat them differently. If...... It is also inappropriate to let female students enter the court as officials! β
After a long time, Zhuge Liang seemed to have an idea, and said aloud with a very solemn expression: "That is it...... First, when the imperial examination is selected, the number of female students admitted will be reduced; Second, the female students who are qualified to be admitted will either be appointed as female officials in the palace, or they will be appointed as teachers (teachers) to teach students. In the future, the lord can establish a girls' academy to teach male and female students separately! β
"Wonderful...... Wonderful! β
Li Mu was overjoyed, stroked his palms and praised: "This matter is according to what Kong Ming said!" β
Everyone thought about it for a while, and they nodded yes thoughtfully!
Li Mu discussed with Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and others on the details of the imperial examination, and then ended the sitting in the court.
