May 17, May 17.
Liu De stood in the attic of a northern military academy in the northeast of Chang'an City, watching groups of soldiers from all over the country enter the school field to prepare for the exam.
He turned around and said to Ji Di next to him: "Today will be famous in history."
After saying this, Liu De couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, clenched his fists tightly, raised his arms and cheered.
Perhaps no one could have imagined now that this examination would only admit twelve people, and most of them would definitely be given to the nobles, which would probably change the political pattern of the entire country from now on.
As a traverser, Liu De is very clear.
In essence, although his examination was designed with reference to the outline and general framework of the imperial examination of later generations.
In reality, however, his examination was more akin to the civil service examination system implemented by the later empire on which the sun never sets at its peak.
In ancient China, the imperial examination system would only admit the top, the most top-notch, and the most elite people.
Even after the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination expanded the army, and the number of third-class jinshi in one subject added up to only a few hundred.
And China is so vast.
Therefore, it is conceivable that a triennial imperial examination, plus Enke or something, can recruit up to a thousand people in three years.
Therefore, all the jinshi who came out of the imperial examinations in the Tang, Song, Ming, Yuan, and Qing dynasties were at least at the county order level.
Among these 1,000 people, at least half of them are nerds, and in addition to reading, they have limited political skills, knowledge, and vision.
When these nerds arrived at the place, they must have been played by the local local snakes and officials.
As a result, this directly led to the central government's inability to control the localities, the gradual expansion of local clan power, the rampant landlords and bullies, the empty existence of national laws, and the chaos of social order.
Moreover, the number of students admitted to the imperial examination is limited, and it is impossible to really bring all talents into the control of the government.
Like what kind of Huang Chao, Li Zicheng, is free from the system That's the most dangerous thing As long as those who can pass the examination and pass the examination, he will accept all the orders, which makes the elite who take the examination basically guaranteed to be admitted.
The British were able to build a vast empire in the 19th century, relying on their large elite civil service and immensely powerful navy.
"If a hundred years later, all the officials above 100 stones will be selected by the imperial examination, do you know what will happen?"
Ji Di was startled when he heard this.
He never thought that Liu De would have such a plan.
It's not that he doesn't have the wisdom to think about it, it's that he doesn't have the courage to think about it.
The Han system is not a top-down system.
At this time, not only the princes and kings of various places had the power to appoint and dismiss officials, but also the county guards and county commanders were free to appoint their staff and subordinate officials.
Generally, the county lord Bo and Sima are the cronies of the county guard, and the county guard himself will solicit him, and all the court has to do is admit it.
Not only that, but the county guards will also appoint township-level officials of Baishi, like some important areas such as grain-producing areas and salt farms, all of which have henchmen appointed by the major county guards, and their rank ratio is usually only Baishi, and they only hold small positions such as Qiangfu, but they are the people who are really controlling the place.
And all these officials were not appointed by the imperial court, but were recruited and appointed by the county guards.
Therefore, the county guard is known as the feudal official.
If one day, all officials above 100 stone are selected and appointed by the imperial court through examinations, which will lead to a reshuffle of the political pattern of the entire Han family, and the tentacles of the emperor of the Han family will penetrate into every corner of the country, and all local affairs, no matter how big or small, will eventually be reported to Chang'an.
There is no doubt that if it is really done, then it will be no less than the pioneering work of Shang Ying's reform.
It's just that Can it be done Ji Di lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your Highness's idea is unprecedented, but if it spreads, the princes and county guards will probably be unhappy."
Upset is for sure If the examination can really achieve the point that Liu De said, then the authority of the central government will be above everything, the real unification, the era of centralization will come, all the princes, county guards, all have to be grandsons, from now on don't say anything about the gate valve, even the strong will be difficult to produce.
Liu De smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "That's why it will take me a hundred years to achieve it."
In Liu De's vision, he will lay the foundation for the examination system, establish the system, establish authority, and gradually expand the scale.
His successors consolidated and carried forward.
By the time it comes to his grandchildren, the examination will sweep everything and reign over the world.
For such a long time, Liu De certainly knows that the conservative forces will definitely fight back or even violently oppose it.
But Liu De is not worried at all.
He turned around, looked at Ji Di and said, "The way of government, it's good to score meat" He pointed to himself with his finger: "I eat meat" Then he looked at Ji Di with a smile: "Qing can get some fat and bones" He looked at the scholars who entered the examination room again: "The people in the world drink soup, and the worst people must ensure that they have at least gruel to eat."
"If you do this, the rule of three generations will not be far away" This is the naked plagiarism of the cake sharing theory of the Celestial Empire in the future.
"The same is true for the examination" Liu De looked at those scholars and said with a smile: "As long as the people who benefit far exceed those whose interests are damaged, then the opposition of those people is just a mantis arm as a car, once the general trend is formed, no one can stop it."
Once his concept of examination is really implemented, as long as it persists for three years, the beneficiaries themselves will form a huge interest group, and anyone who stands in the way of the growth and development of this group will be crushed by it.
After the historical imperial examination system flourished in the Song Dynasty, it crushed all opponents.
Even the feudal towns of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were crushed by the imperial examination, and since then, anyone who has been an enemy of the imperial examination has no place to be buried Moreover, there is another advantage to the implementation of the examination at this time, that is, the people in the world now, even the most evil guys, are also disciplined, even if they are ruffians, they must preach morality.

In this context, if the local county guards and princes want to oppose the examination, they will not be able to pass the moral threshold in the first place, and if the morality cannot be passed, they will not have the strength to oppose it.
What's more, Liu De never thought of replacing the recommendation system with the examination all at once.
For at least 10 years after his accession to the throne, the examination will be accompanied by the recommendation.
Therefore, he is not at all worried about the counterattack of the conservative forces.
What he is more worried about now is the development of science and technology, especially papermaking and printing technology.
Because, if papermaking and printing technology cannot be developed, his examination may become a monopoly of aristocratic and powerful businessmen in the end, and it is undoubtedly very difficult for people at the bottom to get in.
Once the examination is monopolized by the children of aristocratic and powerful businessmen, it will not take thirty years, then, the terrible monster of the gate valve, will appear in advance.
Therefore, papermaking and printing are the key things that Liu De will do after he ascends the throne in the future, and their importance is no less than that of the examination, and even more than the preparation for war against the Xiongnu It will be strongly pushed next week, and the efforts to save the manuscript are in progress I hope that I can save 30 chapters before I put it on the shelves, and now I have 2 chapters and 28 chapters, so the pressure is great t1706231537:
