Chapter 730: The Big Guy Makes a Statement
As soon as this imperial examination system came out, it immediately swept outward like a storm, and was destined to sweep the whole of China in the coming period.
In other words, it won't be long before I know how many students will rush to Jiangdong and Youzhou.
They want to study in Jiangdong and compete with the world's talents in Jiangdong.
In the past, although Zhang Yu and the others were also recruiting students from outside, as Jiangdong cultivated more and more talents, in addition to high-end talents, there was no shortage of other talents.
In the past two years, the recruitment rate has been declining, but Jiangdong College has more and more students, so much so that Zhang Yu is considering whether to build another academy.
Because, every year, a large number of graduates from primary colleges are unable to go on to higher education, and many of them actually have good grades, but there are only so many degrees in higher education.
The teachers and students in the academy were also very excited and were all discussing it.
This is both a good and a bad thing for the students in the college.
The good thing is to pass the imperial examination, if you do well in the examination, you will be more valued, and your future achievements will naturally be higher.
The disadvantage, of course, is that they could have been assigned and entered politics without exams, but now they have to pass exams, and exams are not necessarily passed.
The teachers in the academy have different opinions, and the teachers in the subset of classics and history have great opinions, and if they take the exam together, then the degree of importance is the same.
These teachers already have opinions about the importance of all subjects in the college.
The various disciplines are to be studied, and the sages have also mentioned some of them, but they are all ranked after the subset of scriptures and histories.
In the academy, many people already do not attach so much importance to the subset of classics and history, and not so much to the classics.
Most teachers are not opposed to the technology system, and they think it is fair.
But they have a big opinion on what to do with the exam.
Nowadays, there are a lot of "miscellaneous studies" in the college, and teachers of various subjects naturally hope that their subjects can be tested a little more.
However, this is Zhang Yu's decision, and few people dare to question it, and several bigwigs in the academy have not expressed their position, so they dare to discuss it but dare not question it.
This kind of discussion had a great response, and Zhang Yu also collected the opinions of all parties for two days.
"I have to talk to a few bigwigs and get their support to start."
Zhang Yu decided to go to the academy and ask the opinions of a few bigwigs, if they supported it, then many things would be solved.
Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, and Lu Zhi are all great Confucians in the world and have great influence, if they openly boycott it, it will affect the attitude of many students.
However, Zhang Yu felt that it was unlikely that they would resist.
Zhang Yu looked at the information collected overnight, and then went to the academy early the next morning.
He walked directly through the side door and went directly to the area where several bigwigs usually worked.
No one bothered here, Zhang Yu personally made tea and waited.
After a while, the three bigwigs came hand in hand.
"A few seniors are early, so rashly inviting a few seniors will not interfere with your normal work." Zhang Yu used the etiquette of a junior to talk to the three bigwigs.
"Hehe, if you don't come, you'll be disturbed, I haven't made it clear, I can't go to class normally these days, and the students are absent-minded." Zheng Xuan sneered and said.
Cai Yong also spoke.
"Although there is no way to change this matter, but you have to grasp the details, this imperial examination is not a simple matter, the impact is far-reaching, and the detailed rules must be worked out as soon as possible, I don't know how many people are watching."
Cai Yong was afraid that Zhang Yu would be questioned too much and put too much pressure, so he kindly reminded him.
Lu Zhi has been in a high position for a long time, and his thinking is far-reaching.
"I don't know what Lord Zhang thinks about this imperial examination system?"
Lu Zhifa asked, naturally to understand Zhang Yu's thoughts, and also to test him.
"Take the talents of the world for my use, and at the same time give the people of the world a way out, and widely spread the words of the saints." Zhang Yu said.
Lu Zhi shook his head and said: "The first half of the sentence is true, and the second half of the sentence is piggybacking, but do you know that you have moved the foundation of all families, which is the same as selling books cheaply before, this time it is even deeper." ”
In the past, Zhang Yu was to solve the problem that the poor could not study, although now many people can read, but the upward channel is still in the hands of the family.
If you want to be an official, you must also be recommended by someone, and then you will be hired by the government.
And Zhang Yu launched a new system, no matter who it is, whether it is a family or a poor person, they are all at a starting point, as long as they pass the exam, they can become officials.
This directly abolished the power of the Maison to recommend officials.
This is more important than the previous impact.
"Of course I know, but now even a big family like the Yuan family can't help me, and I still need to be afraid of any family at this time. The open selection of talents is the driving force for a country's long-term development. Zhang Yu said.
Lu Zhi didn't say anything more, he looked at the problem from the height of the country, knew that this was a very important system, and admired Zhang Yu's great courage.
Lu Zhi asked him to make sure that Zhang Yu could face future doubts.
It is naturally beneficial for the country that this system will be implemented, but it must also be able to be implemented.
It is a good system that can be implemented, and it must be strict, and many families cannot be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes.
Seeing that Zhang Yu was prepared, Lu Zhi also believed that Zhang Yu could do a good job.
Zhang Yu will be in a hurry to launch the imperial examination system because of the bad signs in Jiangdong and Youzhou.
The official system under Zhang Yu has complex members, but the academic school must be the first.
Now that the academic school has a tendency to become its own faction, this is not a good sign, and now because Zhang Yu and Zhang Zhao can control it, there will definitely be problems in the long run.
Zhang Yu's introduction of the imperial examination system will naturally weaken the academic school, although they are still a dominant family, but problems can be solved relatively easily after weakening.
Several bigwigs asked Zhang Yu about many details one after another.
After discussing a few issues, Zheng Xuan said: "The imperial examination is a good thing, but the proportion of each subject still needs to be adjusted. ”
Of course, Zhang Yu also attaches importance to the subset of classics and history, but he has no way to attach so much importance to the subset of classics and history, and other disciplines should develop rapidly, and this imperial examination system is definitely the best guide.
Zheng Lao rest assured, but the students feel that it is better to put several subjects on an equal footing, but they usually want to sing to the study of the classics, and they can take time to investigate them in the future. According to the different age groups, the inspection cycle for them is also different, after all, this cultivation also depends on time to slowly cultivate. Zhang Yu said.
Zheng Xuan didn't continue to speak, although he was not very satisfied with Zhang Yu's decision, but it seemed that he could still compromise a way.
After reaching a consensus with several bigwigs, Zhang Yu began to prepare for the grand ceremony of the academy, and at the same time attracted everyone's attention to cooperate with the army's actions.
There are only a few days before the start of the attack, Zhang Yu detonated this grand ceremony in advance and earned enough eyeballs, and at the same time, if the pressure is too great, it can also let the war in the future share some of the attention.
