Chapter 688 Layout

The October dynasty examination was held as scheduled. At this time, the imperial examination was not as understood by modern people as they only need one article to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. In fact, there are multiple professional subjects. "Change subject" is a permanent subject, similar to today's college entrance examination and other public examinations, with the national regulations on the outline, content, time and specific procedures. In addition to the Jinshi subject, there are also various subjects, including the Nine Classics, Five Classics, Kaiyuan Literature, Three Histories, Three Rites, Three Passages, Ming Jing, Ming Fa, Ming Zi and other subjects.

The so-called "Nine Classics" are nine Confucian classics defined by the Tang Dynasty. The "Five Classics" are five Confucian classics determined in the Western Han Dynasty. "Kaiyuan Li" is a large-scale ritual book compiled by the Tang Dynasty. It can also be regarded as a professional examination for practical "ritual studies". The "Three Histories" refer to "Records of the Grand Historian", the two "Han Shu" and "Three Kingdoms" can be understood as a special examination for history. "Three Lis" refer to "Zhou Li", "Yi Li" and "Rite" among the thirteen classics. It can be regarded as a special examination for ritual theory. "Three Transmissions" refer to "Zuo Zhuan", "Gongyang Zhuan" and "Jingliang Zhuan", which can be regarded as a special examination for historical books of the Department of Classics. "Mingzi" refers to "Zhou Li", "Yi Li" and "Rite" among the thirteen classics.

"Ming Jing" refers to the unified examination of all classics, which can be regarded as a traditional examination of classical philology, and "Ming Fa" is a law examination. For "Jinshi" and "Ming Jing", we need to say a few more words. Since the Tang Dynasty, the two major subjects have been the most important. Among the two major subjects, the Jinshi is the most important. The reason is very simple: those who pass the Jinshi career in the future are very optimistic, and they can often climb to the high position of prime minister. The future of the Ming Jing will be much more bumpy, and there are only a few people who can become high-ranking officials in the end. You can tell at a glance that even if you pass the exam, you will only be a small business official for your whole life, and it is difficult to grasp power.

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty relaxed the scope of admission and role. The Jinshi in the Song Dynasty were divided into three grades: the first grade was called Jinshi and the second grade was called Jinshi and the third grade was given the Jinshi. The third grade was given the Jinshi and the third grade was given the Jinshi. The three-year three-year examination system was established in the Song Dynasty. After the palace examination, there was no need to go through the Ministry of Personnel examination and directly awarded officials. Song Taizu also ordered that after the examination, the examiners were not allowed to be called the master's sect or call themselves a disciple. In this way, all those who passed the imperial examination became disciples of the emperor. After the palace examination, the emperor had to announce the ranking of Jinshi and gave them a banquet in Qiongyuan, so they were called Qionglin Banquet. Later, each generation imitated it and became a custom-made one.

Because the scope of the imperial examination was too narrow, although the conditions were relaxed, there were only more than 500 scholars who could enter the ministry examination. In the past, the number of scholars was reached in each subject. After screening, only a dozen people could participate in the palace examination. After reviewing the papers, everyone felt that it was not satisfactory, but they could not be empty. Otherwise, not only would the significance of the imperial examination be lost, but the scholars would also disappoint them, and the young emperor who had the first examination was lost. So almost several ministers decided to pick up the generals from the sect and draft a list and report it to the emperor.

Zhao Bing knew at the beginning of the examination that the form of the imperial examination was greater than the reality, which was to show his attitude towards scholars and to compromise in disguise. He also read the test papers this time, but he really didn't stand out. He thought he would rather empty the list than abuse it. But in the end he gave up this idea and selected the scholars who participated in the palace examination as the first class, and the top 50 people who participated in the department examination were second class, and the fifty scholars who were more than 40 were given to the Jinshi.

However, this time the ranking was not ranked like the previous year's opening of the ranks, and there was no first place in the top scorer. The second place and Tanhua also broke the precedent since the opening of the ranks of the Song Dynasty. Most of the scholars who referenced this group came from Qiongzhou, and half of them were awarded the Jinshi, which exceeded the total of the previous Song Dynasty. It can be said that every county in Qiongzhou had a Jinshi, so that when the new Jinshi came to the palace to thank him, Zhao Bing's ears were full of Qiongzhou's Qiongzhou accents. Although everyone knew that he had occupied Guang'er who moved to Qiong, he was still very grateful to the little emperor. Many people cried in the palace and said that they would never let the emperor down.

As for those who failed the exam, Zhao Bing did not treat them badly and let them all go to the Imperial College for study and then take the exam again after the next year. The scholars who came across the sea were a little sad, thinking that they were better than these scholars in barbaric lands. If they caught up, how could they not fail? But after hearing this news, they were relieved and prepared for the exam with peace of mind.

Zhao Bing made such arrangements, and the scholars who failed the exam were of course happy because they knew that they went to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, and the state issued a clearance coupon to solve the travel expenses and the food and accommodation for the exam. High school students were given officials to earn wages, but those who failed the exam had to bear the travel expenses home by themselves. However, it was different after entering the Imperial College. If you study well, you can directly be given an official position, and the state will manage the meals and give pocket money. It was also extremely difficult to study in the past. If you are not a second-generation official, you must have a long academic career.

The Imperial College was originally established in Sui Dynasty. It was the educational management agency and the highest academic institution in ancient Chinese society. It has two functions: one is the function of the state management agency and the other is the function of the national highest academic institution. Compared with the "Taixue", the establishment of Imperial College was not only the highest academic institution for teaching the classics of the state, but also the function of the national education management.

At the same time, Imperial College and Imperial College can also be called each other. After the emergence of "Imperial College", the different meanings of "Xue" and "Xue" illustrate the different division of labor between the two functions. "Xue" is to impart knowledge and point to the function of education and the highest institution of learning; "Xue" is to supervise and supervise, point to the function of national education management. Therefore, Imperial College is often used to refer to Imperial College.

The Imperial Academy system was relatively complete in the Song Dynasty. It was recruited from the children of officials under the eighth rank and the outstanding children of civilians. During the Qingli period, the students were sacrificing their students and their diet. Today, they were boarding students. However, most of these students had their academic records and were affiliated with the Imperial Academy, but they did not show up. Only teachers lived in the Imperial Academy, so the Imperial Academy became a simple examination place. During the examination period, the Imperial Academy convened students from all over the world to take the exam, and the excellent ones were selected. At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the prison. When the examination ended, the clouds disappeared and the smoke was dispersed, and the loneliness lasted forever.

The Imperial College became an institution with the name of education but not of education. In order to curb this outrageous phenomenon, it was later stipulated that the prison students must attend 500 days of classes before they can be qualified to participate in the examination. Unfortunately, it was useless not long after the implementation. In addition to the Imperial College, there were also three museums in Guangwen, Taixue and Luxue, which were used to accommodate students from all over the country who came to the capital to prepare for the exam. There were more than a thousand people. However, they were still just a false reputation. When there were no exams, there were only a few twenty or thirty people in the three museums temporarily stayed there, and they could only be regarded as a tutoring school in the Imperial College.

The reform rules during the Shenzong period made the Taixue a second time. Wang Anshi not only implemented the expansion of the enrollment of the Taixue, but also reformed the human-use system and implemented the "three-way method". The Taixue was divided into three categories: outer, inner, and upper place. Among them, those with excellent grades in the upper place can be directly selected as officials. This move contained the meaning of raising scholars and recruiting scholars, which was similar to the Jixia Academy in Tianqi during the Warring States Period. It can also be compared to preparatory students, undergraduates and graduate students in today's universities.

By the second year of Yuanfeng, the Taixue had eighty fasts, each of which was five rooms, which could accommodate thirty people; there were two thousand people outside, two hundred people inside, and only more than one hundred people above. Later, although the new law was abolished, the Taixue was not affected. During the Huizong period, some new law was restored, and the quota for sacrificing students was increased to 3,000 people inside, and six hundred people above, and two hundred people above. In addition to the conventional Confucian education of the Taixue, there were also medicine, law, martial arts, arithmetics, Taoism, calligraphy and painting.

There are 100 martial students, mainly focusing on military law; there is no fixed quota for law students, mainly learning case-based and law-based laws, and pay equal attention to cases and laws; there are 200 students, studying "Nine Chapters", calendar and astronomy; there are also calligraphy students studying seal, clerical and cursive, and painting students are divided into Buddhist, Taoist, figures, landscapes and other subjects; there are 300 medical students, divided into prescription and pulse (internal medicine), acupuncture and ulcers, and each subject is led by a professor; Taoist students are naturally studying Taoist classics such as "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi", which is not unrelated to the advocacy of Taoism by the Song royal family at that time.

According to the present, the French Zijian is a comprehensive university under the name of the modern Ministry of Education and its comprehensive university. The land of the Song Dynasty fell and the Imperial Zijian naturally no longer exists. When we were busy running around, we would certainly not think about reconstruction. However, as the highest institution of scholars, they must hope to be restored. Zhao Bing understood the importance of scholars in the country. They not only inherited the past and the future and managed the country on behalf of the emperor, but also maintained the operation of the state machinery, but were also the disseminators of culture and the leader of the behavior of grassroots people.

Therefore, restoring the Imperial College is in the interests of the scholars, and also in the royal interests represented by Zhao Bing. However, after a long time of clamoring, the corresponding officials were appointed and the Fucheng Confucian Temple was expanded as the residence of the Imperial College. Unfortunately, there were too few students, so they were basically vacant and did not play a role. The failed scholars who took the department examination this time were just the first batch of students.

It is currently wartime, and the conditions for running schools are insufficient, so Zhao Bing decided to run schools with the purpose of "applying what you learn to promote learning". The Imperial College has temporarily restored the five subjects of Confucianism, law, mathematics, medicine and martial arts. These subjects are the most needed at present. Martial arts is also very important. Under the current trend, it is still a difficult thing to get scholars to join the army and join the army. However, the military urgently needs talents to be well-versed in military affairs, proficient in strategy, battle planning, and majors such as surveying, staff, and political work. People with a certain degree of cultural cultivation can be used by the Imperial College to train a group of talents needed in the military...

As November begins, several major events are handled. The rainy season in Qiongzhou has ended. At this time, the first new army has entered the camp for a year. Zhao Bing issued an order to organize them to carry out island-round hiking training. This training is not only to test what they have learned over the past year, but also to enable them to complete field marching, camping, survival, and construction of field fortifications and other related drills, requiring them to hike the entire island within one month and complete the corresponding training plan.

On the other hand, it was time to recruit the second batch of new troops. In view of the current situation and the experience gained from the training of the first batch of new troops, the new army barracks were fully built. Zhao Bing decided to expand the second batch of recruitment plans and recruit 3,000 more troops. In addition, since the new regulations have been implemented throughout the army and the basic training of each department, he decided to conduct a six-month rotation training for grassroots officers in each department to familiarize them with the use of muskets, the use of basic tactics, and strengthen their understanding of the new regulations and regulations.

In addition, middle and senior generals and colleges will also conduct one-year battalion training. They not only need to complete basic knowledge such as terrain survey, map recognition, city building technology, firearm use, military documents, etc., but also learn to learn battles, combat organization and command, synthesis command of various branches, and cooperate between the military. Zhao Bing has no choice but to do this. Nowadays, most senior officers in various departments are veterans of the army for many years, and can still know how to marches and deploy troops. However, most middle-level officers are brave and heroic. They did not understand the basic knowledge of the army in the past, and they still led troops through several training sessions and the experience accumulated over the past two years.

Now facing the entire army's uniform, a large number of new weapons will be added, and the response tactics will also undergo tremendous changes. In this way, the past experience and knowledge of middle and senior officers will not be enough, while some officers cannot even understand the map and lack the ability to organize and command, so it is necessary to update their knowledge and learn new tactics. If they are still unable to do it after learning, they will have to be eliminated from the army. At the same time, Jiang Yushu's naval army school has been established and began to train various departments. They are also preparing to recruit 10,000 new recruits and join the army as needed after completing basic training at the new training base.

By the end of the month, the two taxes had been collected. Since the tax exemption period for the first batch of immigrants to the island had expired, a total of 800,000 shi of rice and 200,000 shi of silver were collected this year. The commercial tax revenue was 120,000 shi of guan; the tariff was more than 3.10 million shi, of which most of them were the confiscation of goods from the Otu merchants; the salt tax of the Quoshi Department reached more than 4 million shi, of course 90,000 shi were the income from "export"; there were also miscellaneous taxes of more than 100,000 shi. In addition to the income obtained from the North, the total income this year was about 13 million shi.

A lot of money was collected, but the expenses were also huge, among which the military expenditure was still the largest, accounting for about 40%. Resettlement of immigrants was also a big deal, spending more than one million guan; in addition, the salaries and subsidies of officials were also 700,000 guan. In addition, the expenditures of Qiongzhou's infrastructure investment and relief famine relief were 700,000 guan. However, there was no deficit this year, and there were still three million guans in the treasury and more than 600,000 guan in the treasury were left in the treasury, and more than 600,000 guan in the treasury were saved. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No one expected that such a small place would have a surplus under the management of the little emperor.

The national treasury has money left, and everyone can't figure out how much Zuozangku is. Although the little emperor did not include tariffs in Zuozangku as agreed this year, there are 40% of the salt in hand. Everyone estimates that His Majesty's income must be more than 3 million guan. After hearing the comments, Zhao Bing just cried and said that the cost of building a new army camp and the firearms produced by the crafts workshops came from the inner treasury. In addition to the expenses and various rewards of the inner palace, he had spent his money long ago, which was supported by the foundation of the previous few years.
