Chapter 204: A Little Thing About Seeking Scholars in the Imperial Examination

After Yang Youxing listened to Zhang Guoan's request, he couldn't laugh anymore. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He's going to publish another short version of the Times?

And also without taking into account operating costs......

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said to him at the time: "People always like to take advantage...... Free is always likable, especially those people in the northern Central Plains, they basically grew up drinking wolf milk, and it would be good if they didn't grab it directly, your abbreviated version of "Liuqiu Times" is aimed at people like them, and it is given to them for free------ mainly to popularize common sense, mainly to publicize our deeds, so that they know what we are going to do......

Yang Youxing smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhang, now that the "Liuqiu Times" is not too profitable, there is no need to rush to open another newspaper, right?" ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, glanced at him and said, "Who told you to count the "Liuqiu Times" with profits? If you have one more newspaper, maybe there will be one less battle on the front line...... Fewer deaths. ”

Can it have such a big effect?!

How many literate people can there be in the Central Plains in the north!

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, stretched out a finger and said, "Even if you save a village...... It's all our gains! Now the folk Stockholm complex there is very serious......"

“……”

Of course, Yang Youxing couldn't understand what Island Master Zhang was saying, but he had to do it.

Let's not mention the short version of the "Liuqiu Times......

The base camp in Jinan, Shandong Province gave a reply to Captain Huang Zu's report, and asked them to first stabilize the current situation, regardless of anything else, and strive to win the hearts of the people in the Guantao area...... At the very least, don't let them think we're pirates!

After Captain Huang Zu and his assistant received the reply, their hearts were first relaxed, and there was no blame as they imagined...... But how do you let the local population know that they are not pirates?

At least the people in Kong's village don't think of themselves as pirates now.

The old village chief of Kongjia Village was a little scared at first when he saw those people coming back dejectedly.

Don't let them find out that they sent their son to report the news, and don't be used as a punching bucket by them!

Luckily, everything is back to normal------

They were indeed not pirates, and the people in the Confucian village understood this.

Those people even grow their own vegetables, what kind of cassava!

From the way they worked, everyone could do farm work, even their two leaders.

Of course, the people of Confucius Village did not know that when these people were training on Liuqiu Island, everyone had been engaged in industry and agriculture.

Those people also used bamboo and wattles from the mountains to weave all kinds of furniture and farming tools!

They had never heard of pirates doing any of this.

Captain Huang Zu also took out all the "Liuqiu Times" he had saved and handed them over to those old guys to read, and kindly lent them a magnifying glass to read.

At this moment, the old guys were very quiet, and they gathered together every day to read the newspaper.

Captain Huang Zu and his assistant were flipping and drying mushrooms, which they picked when they were patrolling the mountains.

They probably have the best wilderness survivability on this plane, and they're all specially trained.

Captain Huang Zu's assistant asked, "Those old guys don't look at us secretly?" ”

Captain Huang Zu didn't raise his head and said, "You see that the branches in the distance are no longer moving------ they will definitely quarrel about the newspaper again!" ”

Captain Huang Zu was pleased to find that since he showed the stacks of newspapers to the old guys, they were no longer monolithic!

They always argue over a report or an article, and often ask Captain Huang Zu to reason, and in the end they often think that his judgment is correct------ because he is the one who asks for it, and he is still a leader.

First of all, they argued about the way of "taking the imperial examination" for the sake of circulation.

It was a notice about the entrance examination for the public servants.

They had asked Captain Huang Zu in advance, it was an examination for the selection of officials and administrators------ and they understood that it was a mistake to open a department.

The use of examinations to select talents, those old people are quite supportive, this is since the Sui and Tang dynasties, a basic system for selecting officials through examinations, here is a brief mention of the imperial examination system.

It was founded in the Sui Dynasty, established in the Tang Dynasty, and completed in the Song Dynasty------ from the perspective of the history of the official system, the emergence of the imperial examination system is a historical necessity and great progress.

In order to consolidate its rule, the ruling class of this nation has adopted a variety of methods to select the talents it needs.

The Xia, Shang, and Zhou adopted the "sub-feudal system" and the "Shiqing Shilu system", and the result was that "the dragon gave birth to the dragon, and the phoenix gave birth to the phoenix", and the common people "faced the loess with their backs to the sky", and had almost nothing to do with politics.

The Han Dynasty replaced the hereditary system with the system of "inspection" and "conquest", in which the governors of prefectures and counties recommended talents to the imperial court, and after inspection by the imperial court, they were awarded official positions, or were selected by the emperor's special edict.

This is naturally a historical progress, but because the bureaucrats who hold the power to elect officials pay attention to their families, protect each other, and engage in favoritism, the problem of employing people still cannot be well solved. Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live. Han Su is as innocent as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken", and other serious problems, it is difficult for outstanding talents from the bottom to be selected.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties implemented the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System", which somewhat changed the situation of state and county governors at will, accepting bribes for personal gain, and selecting some more talented people to enter the official career.

However, the Zhongzheng official was completely controlled by the big family later, and the family background and family background became the only criteria for evaluating officials. In fact, it has become a tool for big landlords and wealthy clans to control the election of officials. The result is inevitably that "there are no poor people in the upper grades, and there are no scholars in the lower grades", "the world is in a high position, and the heroes sink into the subordinates", the small and medium-sized landlords can only be petty officials, and the common people are all excluded from the officialdom.

Since the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system has adhered to the principle of "free registration, unified examination, equal competition, merit-based admission, and open list", which has broken the hereditary relationship of blood and the monopoly of the family on politics, and has been a direct and powerful reform of the system of electing officials.

It provided a platform for fair competition for the small and medium-sized landlord class and the common people to enter the ranks through the imperial examination, and enabled a large number of outstanding talents with low status and humble backgrounds to come to the fore.

For example, Lu Mengzheng of the Northern Song Dynasty suffered misfortune since childhood, and was driven out of the house by his father and mother and son, and lived in a cave for a long time, living a hungry and cold life, but he studied hard, won the top prize in high school, and was very good at managing the political country, and became a famous minister in the early Song Dynasty. Another example is that Fan Zhongyan has been poor since he was a child, and he has made great achievements since he was a child, and he has made great achievements, enjoying the reputation of "the court has no worries and Fan Jun, and the Beijing teacher has nothing to do".

During the Jin Dynasty, when the Jurchen bandit groups were formalized, they inherited the imperial examination system in the early Song Dynasty------ and the small and medium-sized intellectuals in the north also had a certain way out, so the Jin Dynasty could also maintain for more than a hundred years, and it also successfully divided the intellectuals among the Han people.

In fact, Shi Tianxue or Zhang Hongfan, they are both the Jurchen bandit group of the Jin Dynasty after formalization, leaving a valuable legacy to the Tatar bandit group.

Therefore, the old people of Confucian Village quite understand the so-called "imperial examination" behavior of Liuqiu Island.

However, they were very controversial about the content of the imperial examination.

Most of the old people expressed disgust at the fact that Liuqiu did not focus on the content of the Four Books and the Five Classics, believing that they only cared about the practicality of culture, and did not care about virtue and righteousness------

However, there are also a few old people who think that it is not an exaggeration to favor practicality because they are the agricultural officials of the Ministry of Agriculture or the supervisors of the Ministry of Industry.

The two groups of people had a lot of arguments, so they came to Captain Huang Zu for evaluation. (To be continued.) )
