Mr. Shui Jing, surnamed Sima, has a single name and a Hui character, and the word Decao, is a native of Yangzhai County, Yingchuan County, because he fled the war, so his family moved to Xiangyang, Jingzhou to live.

Sima Hui's reputation was very great, and after he migrated to the local area, he quickly caused repercussions, and formed a confidant with Pang Degong, the leader of the local scholar clan, and the two hit it off at first sight and became close.

Because Sima Hui is highly educated, Pang Degong can learn a lot from Sima Hui every time he talks with him, and Sima Hui can also reflect his shortcomings like a mirror, so Pang Degong called Sima Hui Mr. Shuijing. So far, the four characters of Mr. Shui Jing have been widely spread in Jingzhou.

Compared with the war-torn north, Jingzhou's public security is relatively stable, in such an environment, it provides conditions for cultivating outstanding talents, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao himself is also a literati, after taking charge of Jingzhou, he will open a wide range of schools, establish school officials, seek Confucianism, and over time, the Xiangyang area of Jingzhou has gradually become the academic center of the country in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Among the entire scholar clan in Jingxiang, Pang Degong and Sima Hui became the most famous academic leaders, and since the two of them were not separated from each other, the students they taught were basically the same group of people. Among this group of students, most of them are more famous talents, including Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Cui Jun, Xiang Lang, Han Song, Liu Hui, Yin Mo and others, all of whom were very prosperous during the Three Kingdoms period. But the most famous are Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu.

This time, Zhang Yan ostensibly used the holy decree to invite Sima Hui to give a lecture to the Son of Heaven, but in fact, he wanted to leave him in Pengcheng.

Zhang Yan hosted a banquet to entertain Sima Hui. and at the banquet, he revealed the idea of wanting Sima Hui to stay in Pengcheng as an official. It's a pity. was politely declined by Sima Hui.

All this was expected by Zhang Yan. After all, Sima Hui had never been out of office in his life, and it was not until Cao Cao got Jingzhou that Sima Hui was forced by Cao Cao to be helpless, so he reluctantly came out to be an official. It's a pity that not long after he agreed, Sima Hui fell ill and died.

Therefore, Sima Hui has no intention of pursuing a career at all.

Zhang Yan saw that Sima Hui did not agree to be an official, so he changed his thinking. said that he would open Taixue in Pengcheng, and Sima Hui would serve as a scholar of Taixue, named Doctor, and then teach talented people in the world, wanting to turn Pengcheng into an academic center of the country.

In addition, Zhang Yan also revealed to Sima Hui that he wanted to hold the imperial examination, abolishing the previous inspection system, no longer promoting filial piety, Maocai and other officials, but setting up examinations, and selecting them layer by layer. Those who are excellent can enter Taixue to study. After graduation, you can directly become an official.

Although Sima Hui was not interested in Zhang Yan, he was very interested in the imperial examination system proposed by Zhang Yan, and in his opinion, the imperial examination system was undoubtedly an innovation and a new attempt.

Sima Hui was very supportive of Zhang Yan's idea, but he still politely refused to stay in Taixue as a doctor.

Zhang Yan just smiled and didn't say anything more, and after the banquet, Zhang Yan left Sima Hui in the guest room in the general's mansion to rest.

In the following days, Sima Hui was left in Pengcheng by Zhang Yan, but he did not restrict Sima Hui's freedom, and it was not until he met Zhuge Liang that Sima Hui understood that it was easy for him to come, and if he wanted to go back, he was afraid that it would be difficult.

So, Sima Hui went to see Zhang Yan again, hoping that Zhang Yan could let him go back.

Zhang Yan met Sima Hui again, and after learning that Sima Hui was leaving, he decisively vetoed Sima Hui, and told Sima Hui that his family was already on the way from before, and in a few days, he would be able to reunite with him in Pengcheng.

Sima Hui was completely desperate at this moment, although he was ashamed of Zhang Yan's despicable behavior, but he was helpless, in the face of power, his liliang alone was very small.

So, Sima Hui also dispelled the idea of returning to Xiangyang, and simply stayed in Pengcheng, dancing and writing with Zhuge Liang every day, and didn't worry about anything.

After a few more days, Sima Hui's family was really sent over by Liu Biao, and Zhang Yan arranged Sima Hui in a second-entry courtyard in the inner city of Pengcheng.

In addition to Sima Hui's family, Pang Degong's family was also sent over, and Pang Degong was arranged by Zhang Yan next door to Sima Hui.

In addition, Zhang Yan is also working on the construction of Taixue, and handed over the matter to the new master Jiang Ji to handle.

Since Dong Cheng and Fu Wan were killed, the positions of Dong Cheng and Fu Wan have been vacant, so Zhang Yan selected Gu Yong in the imperial history to serve as the ruling Jinwu, and ordered Jiang Ji to serve as the master craftsman, filling the official vacancy. In addition, Dong Zhao was also selected by Zhang Yan as Guangluxun and officially became one of the Nine Qings.

Sima Hui and Pang Degong were both sent to Pengcheng, and then they wanted to go out, it was impossible, under the effect of power, Sima Hui and Pang Degong also had to bow their heads, even if they didn't like Zhang Yan's approach, no matter how dissatisfied, but they were helpless, after all, they had to eat, they had to feed their families, and in desperation, they had to bow to the power, accepted Zhang Yan's doctorate appointment, and officially served as a doctor of Taixue.

It's just that Taixue has not yet been established, and the two doctors, Sima Hui and Pang Degong, are still empty shells, and they can only talk with their student Zhuge Liang.

When the news of Sima Hui and Pang Degong's arrival in Pengcheng came out, studious people from Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou and other places came one after another, and in just one month, Sima Hui and Pang Degong's threshold was about to be stepped on.

Soon after, the students of Sima Hui and Pang Degong also traveled from Xiangyang to Pengcheng, and Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Cui Jun, Liu Hui, Yin Mo and other students who were unwilling to be officials all arrived in Pengcheng one after another.

After a few days, after more than a month, the master craftsman finally established Taixue, so Zhang Yan invited Sima Hui and Pang Degong, two doctors of Taixue, to sit in Taixue, and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Cui Jun, Liu Hui, Yin Mo and others who had not yet completed their studies became the first batch of Tai students, officially settled in Pengcheng, and also received Zhang Yan's close attention, and sent Jinyi Wei to secretly monitor every move of this group of people.

On August 20, the third year of Jian'an, after some discussions with his confidants, Zhang Yan officially promulgated the imperial examination system, which was the first to select officials by examination, and issued an edict to the world to let all prefectures, counties, and counties establish schools one after another, formally incorporate education into national policy, and ban the inspection system of filial piety, Maocai and other official positions.

Students in the world, regardless of poverty, regardless of age, all those who are excellent in character and learning, after completing their studies, can register for the exam, and then pass the exam, and finally enter Taixue, after graduating from Taixue, they can directly become officials.

And stipulate that in addition to learning Confucianism, the school also learns arithmetic, law, the art of war, history, etc., and the examination is divided into three levels, namely the county examination, the county examination, and the state examination.

Zhang Yan stipulates that the county examination is taken once a year, the county examination is taken once every two years, the state examination is taken once every three years, and the palace examination is also taken once every three years.

In addition, Zhang Yan also deliberately screened books, which books were mainly tested in the county examination, what books were mainly tested in the county examination, and what knowledge was tested in the state examination.

Zhang Yan attached great importance to the promulgation of the imperial examination system, and included education in the national plan, which was specially managed by Situ Yang Biao.

Zhang Yan began to implement the imperial examination system within the Shili range, which immediately caused a sensation and set off a wave of learning. Zhang Yan also adapted to the situation and used movable type printing in Pengcheng to start printing books in large quantities, and then bound them together, and began to sell books at a price of 30 pieces and 5 baht per book, making a lot of money.

In the detailed rules of the imperial examination system, Zhang Yan also drafted a code of operation for the imperial examination system, which was printed in batches and issued to officials at all levels for viewing.

Of course, while Zhang Yan vigorously encouraged the cause of education, he did not forget the environment in which he lived, and while he kept close contact with Liu Biao, he asked all armies to step up training, and actively deployed troops on the border line with Yuan Shao. In addition, he also vigorously encouraged the militia to strengthen training to cope with the needs of the emergency, once the war came, all the militia within the Shili area under Zhang Yan's command would be sent to the front line, on the one hand, responsible for escorting grain and grass, on the other hand, as a war reserve, where the defense line was weak, it would be directly supplemented by the militia.

Time flies quickly, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Yuan Shao in Hebei has never taken any action, such a peaceful scene is what Zhang Yan hopes to see the most.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Jian'an, in September, the first imperial examination was officially held, mainly the county examination, and the number of people participating in the imperial examination was as high as 100,000.

Zhang Yan attached great importance to this imperial examination, personally presided over the examination, and he proposed the questions, and then handed over to Jinyiwei to carry 100,000 test questions to be sent to candidates in various counties on the day of the examination, so as to avoid fraud.

After the exam, all the test questions were sealed, and then Jinyiwei took all the test questions to Pengcheng, where Zhang Yan, his henchmen and staff reviewed them.

As a result, out of 100,000 candidates, only 8,000 passed the imperial examination held in the county. Subsequently, Zhang Yan ordered the candidates who passed the examination to be naturalized and put into the file, which was temporarily kept by the Situ Mansion, and ordered the county guards to start preparing for next year's county examination, and announced the 8,000 candidates who passed the examination to the world, so that they could prepare for next year's county examination.
