Li Zhi nodded: "Well, a lot, but, most of the people who scolded Brother Jun, are old scholars, and most of the young people are on your side. In the past two days, the Tang Dynasty Daily has been sold out every day. The three newspapers ordered in my mansion have been divided up for them. But Brother Jun, today I am not just here to come to you for a walk, the main reason is that my father has been busy dealing with political affairs these days and cannot take time, so let me ask you, what is the method of reforming the exam mentioned above? However, my father didn't ask me to say that, but just asked me to ask you quietly. However, I trust Brother Jun, so I made it clear."

I glanced at Li Zhi. I had already interfered with the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty. For example, my wife proposed the imperial examination system and the copying system. They have been tried twice, and the effect is good. However, Uncle Li seemed to think it was not enough. He mentioned to the old man several times that the imperial examination system could not be completely inherited from the Sui Dynasty's imperial examination system, even if it was done, it would still have to be improved.

Uncle Li didn't let my father come to ask me, but asked Li Zhi to ask. It seems that Uncle Li hopes that this can make me tell my disciples a good story. After all, they are all young people. I am also Li Zhi's teacher. At least speaking is much easier than squatting in front of me, the old man is bragging about himself and worrying about being beaten at any time. I can tell Li Zhi a lot, tell my wife, tell my son and daughter, but there will always be some reservations in front of the elders.

First, out of respect, second, out of taboo. After Li Zhi said this, it was really hard for me to fool him back in a few words. "That's too much. However, I need to ask you first, what is the purpose of my Tang Dynasty to recruit scholars? I was so that these scholars who passed the exam continued to do their studies, or do I want them to serve the country, court, and the people?" I sat down and asked Li Zhi very seriously.

"Feel the country and country of the Tang Dynasty." Li Zhi answered my question without thinking. "Well, very good, then I want to ask. Let's give the simplest example. There are 20,000 households in a county. If you become a county magistrate, you have to know how much rice and grain a person needs to live a life of a year. How much paddy fields are there in the local area and how much dry land is there? If you suffer a disaster, how much grain rice and flour are needed to be rescued, what are the local production and what are there…" All seventeen or eighteen questions were lost, and Li Zhi was stunned for a long time: "Brother Jun, you really can't answer the things you said, but how much does it have to do with the imperial examination reform?"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－-

After hearing this, I couldn't help but shook my head and sighed. This fence-bearing grass hasn't grown up. I can't even tell the truth here. Li Zhi seemed to have some understanding, but he was still thinking: "Brother Jun. What you said, are you still having scholars, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Ming Fa, Ming Shu, Ming Purpose?"

The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were divided into regular subjects and regular subjects. The imperial subjects were specially ordered by the emperor, that is, the emperor personally presided over the periodic examinations. The subjects were often set up temporarily. The more common subjects were blunt and extremely admonishing, virtuous and upright, well-versed and well-versed, and military planning. The purpose was to seek urgently needed talents, civilians and officials could take the exam, and they could also try again and again. After passing the exam, those with officials were promoted, and those without officials were awarded the title of officials by the Ministry of Personnel.

"I will tell you one thing, why do you still need to do a selection after passing the exam?" I glanced at Li Zhi and said slowly.

The two most important subjects are the most important subjects of Ming Jing; the contents of Ming Jing exam include the contents of the classics, the meaning of the classics, the current affairs, etc., which mainly focus on the meaning of the classics, and focus on the recitation of Confucian classics; the contents of the Jinshi exam were only the current affairs before Emperor Gaozong, and later the examination of miscellaneous essays, namely poetry, fu, etc. The meanings of the classics depend on reciting, and poetry and fu need to be used. Therefore, it is easy to enter the Ming Jing, but it is difficult to enter the Jinshi. The proportion of Ming Jing and the grade is one tenth of the tenth, and the proportion of Jinshi and the grade is one two percent, which is different.

There was a huge gap, so there was a saying that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi" at that time. Although it was difficult to get a Jinshi, it was easy to get promoted after passing the imperial examination, and people at that time called it "Climbing the Longmen". The selection of the scholars was the first to choose the scholars who were admitted to the Tang Dynasty. It was a top priority. That is, after you pass the imperial examination, you can only obtain the Jinshi and the Ming Jing and the Ming Jing, and you cannot officially enter the official position. Only by passing the Ministry of Personnel's Entrance Examination can you be appointed as an official.

Therefore, the Ministry of Personnel Examination is also called "Shipeng Examination". In the Tang Dynasty, the selection of Quanshu was based on both civil and military channels, and was led by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War respectively. The selection of Quanshu was mainly based on body, speech, calligraphy, and judgment. The body refers to the magnificent appearance, the speech refers to the eloquence of the words, the calligraphy refers to the beautiful calligraphy, and the judgment refers to the excellent and excellent literary principles. If all four things are possible, then virtue is first taken; if virtue is the same, then talent is first taken.

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Why don't I know? I'm afraid that the one who chooses the best is to think it's an official."

"It's good that you know, then let me ask you, how many people can pass the brown test after passing the exam?"

"Thirds and four out of ten." Li Zhi smashed his mouth. The imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty was far superior to the imperial examination system in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The most important point is to take scholars and value their virtues. Anyone with poor morals and poor morals will not win against you even if you are as talented as a flower during the exam.

It is precisely because of this system that the administration of the early Tang Dynasty was extremely clear, especially during the Yonghui period of Uncle Li’s Zhenguan and Li Zhidi. Officials have always regarded the loss of virtue as a humiliation. Those who have lost virtue, let alone become officials, will be despised everywhere. Even merchants of the Tang Dynasty, at least they dare not do any evil deeds on the surface.

However, after the Tang and Song dynasties, this censorship system disappeared in the history of the rivers. According to the spoken language of modern people, it is called moral investigation. Those who have poor moral character and lose their moral character will definitely not let you become an official. At that time, there were 502 rules in the Tang Dynasty, with clear terms. Originally, the implementation of the "Prison cannot be punished" was very strict in the Tang Dynasty. Uncle Li once ordered: Boiling @ Teng & Wen * Collection of the Three Comments of Prefectures and County, and the Five Comments of the Capital

.The prison was decided, and Shang Yuran wanted to stop the meal and stop the joy. In the evening, there were several punishments in the world. This means that under the regular feudal system, people were not easily killed, especially the court officials. The emperor must personally determine whether to kill, and it must be repeated three to five times. Killing a minister is "the crime is in my mind". According to regulations, the emperor himself also "removed the meal and stopped the joy" to punish himself. Therefore, until the late Zhenguan year, except for the crime of rebellion, Uncle Li did not execute any minister because of other faults.

This point is very telling, but whether the court officials have any faults is one thing, and governing without doing anything? Today's Tang Dynasty needs prosperity, pioneering and enterprising, rather than asking for some officials who only seek stability but not mistakes. In that case, it would be better to promote a group of old men in their seventies and eighties to sit in the court, rather than seeking nothing but seeking mistakes.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－-

As an official, you must first be politically strong, with persevering ideological qualities and excellent moral character. Now the Tang Dynasty has expanded thousands of miles of land, and the lack of officials has made Uncle Li very worried. However, the scholars taught by several major Chinese studies are good at studying, but the talented people? Humph, as far as I saw, the group of scholars assigned to the Honglu Temple and the Main and Guest Office are simply misleading the country. If they are not brainwashed by me, not by my criticism, and by my harsh guidance, and strict political and ideological education, let alone being able to fight for the country and the Tang Dynasty diplomatically, they are probably selling their own country. They are still proud of themselves and follow the Confucian way of getting along with others, and preaching the benevolence and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.

If these men had negotiated with Xiangxiong Kingdom or with Xueyantuo's tribe, they would have been afraid that they would not only not be in the right way, but would have released prisoners of war unconditionally in order to gain fame. In the spring of the next year, they would have asked them to come to the border of our Tang Dynasty to jump, kill my people, and capture my wife and daughter.

Another thing that is annoying was told by Luo Binwang that the county magistrate of Ju County in Mizhou, Shandong, Henan Province, has been used for academic research, but he is invincible in everything he wants to govern the people. He suffered a flood two years ago. When he reported the disaster to the governor of Mizhou, he could not even report the amount of victims and the amount of food required for disaster relief. It was a joke for a while.
