Mrs. Right pointed to the list on the table: "What about this?"

Feng Duhu did not answer immediately, but stretched out his right hand and pressed on the list.

Madam You thought he was going to pick it up, look at it carefully, and select people. Unexpectedly, Feng Duhu clicked on the list and started tapping the paper with his index finger.

This is a small gesture of his thinking.

"It's not good to just fight back. After all, this is the first time His Majesty has selected talents on a large scale in the Han Dynasty since he returned to the old capital."

"If we call them back and ask them to re-elect, it's a small matter if someone sees a joke. It's a big deal if we lose the emperor's face and undermine his prestige."

The right lady frowned slightly:

“But it’s not appropriate to put all of it into the academy!”

Is this considered a counterattack by the family?

As long as there is a chance, they will not let it go.

When Feng Duhu thought of this, he suddenly smiled strangely:

"Aren't the students recommended from all over the country full of ambitions to serve the country? We can't let them lose their hearts!"

The right lady was startled and looked at Feng Duhu.

Feng Duhu tapped his index finger rapidly several times, and then he continued:

"People's livelihood in Guanzhong is exhausted. The first priority now is to resume production, but many counties below are short of manpower."

"Since these students want to serve the country, let them go downstairs to help first, and at the same time understand the people's sentiments and observe the sufferings of the people."

When Liangzhou took the exam, I don’t know how many people from aristocratic families could not bear the hardships at the grassroots level, forcing many to quit halfway.

Hearing that Feng Duhu wanted to repeat his old plan, Mrs. Right was a little worried:

"The Liangzhou examination is to select talents to serve as officials, so that candidates can understand the people's sentiments. There is nothing wrong with that."

"But when I entered the academy, my first priority was to acquire knowledge. How can the two be the same? I'm afraid there is something wrong with Alang's move."

"Don't worry." Feng Du smiled confidently, "Students from the academy will also have a one-year internship period in the end."

Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles may be an exaggeration in ancient times.

But after students reach adulthood, it is normal and even natural for students to go on study tours and increase their knowledge.

The internship arrangement in the last year of the college is actually another nominal study tour for students. The difference between it and individual study tours is that this is a study tour uniformly arranged by the college.

"These recommended students are all talented people from all over the country. Are there any weak ones? Let them start internships in advance."

The right lady still has a worried look on her face:

"What about the students who are recommended by the school? I'm afraid someone will say that it's unfair to treat them differently."

"It's just to make them feel unfair." Feng Duhu looked calm, "It's just to let them know that students who enter the academy from the academy are the genuine students of the Royal Academy."

"That is, they are more valued by the court than the recommended students."

No matter how many disadvantages the imperial examination had, it could still be said to be the fairest way to select talents in the feudal era.

Whether it does more good than harm to a country or does more harm than good depends on what purpose the ruler wants to achieve with the imperial examination.

Take the imperial examinations in the early Tang Dynasty as an example, they were mainly based on "current affairs policies".

Because it involves real problems in the country's society, it requires readers not only to be familiar with the scriptures, but also to face society, observe, think about problems, and propose solutions.

In addition to the imperial examination, Wu Zetian even created the martial arts examination.

This made the imperial examination and talent selection show a vigorous and progressive nature in the Tang Dynasty, forming a golden age of cultural development.

It is a pity that the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, which not only castrated Confucianism, but also used the imperial examination to suppress the minds of scholars.

This gave future generations a very bad start.

Eventually, the imperial examination in the Ming and Qing Dynasties gradually developed into the eight-part essay examination.

It makes scholars become industrious, unable to distinguish between grains and grains, and can only talk about "what's wrong".

It is completely different from the scholars who traveled around the world with swords in the Han and Tang dynasties.

However, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examination was never the only way to become an official.

Obtaining official documents, being an official, donating to prison, etc. are all supplementary ways to enter the officialdom.

But no matter which one they are, most of the time their status cannot exceed the imperial examination.

Officials who entered official positions through the imperial examination had stronger backs than officials who entered official positions through other means.

What Feng Duhu ultimately wanted to create was this kind of effect.

Of course, in the beginning, the status of the officials who were recruited into the imperial examination, the imperial examination, and the official positions were all basically the same.

It's just that he had to consciously raise the status of the imperial examination slowly and gradually and subtly.

Squeezing the examination and recruitment bit by bit is a disguised form of squeezing the space for the children of aristocratic families to enter officialdom.

In the end, they were forced to retreat to the same starting point as ordinary people, at least in the academy.

This is the ultimate that Feng Duhu can achieve to break the family's monopoly on intellectual resources.

It is also the greatest fairness that can be given to all students in the world.

At the same time, it also allows big men to unite the broadest level of society.

Mrs. Right knew that there would be a lot of resistance, so she thought about it and suggested:

"How about this? If someone really performs well within a year, he can be directly promoted or promoted to an official position. What does Alang think?"

When Feng Duhu heard this, he couldn't help but said "Hey" and looked at Mrs. Right with admiration:

"Xi Jun is indeed my daughter Zhuge. This statement is very reasonable."

Anyway, now the imperial examination and examination are carried out in parallel, and there is no distinction between high and low. Being able to enter the official position early must be in line with the wishes of many people.

You can also block someone’s mouth at the same time:

If you have the ability, you can directly pass the examination and become an official.

If you don't have the skills, just pass the exam and enter the academy to learn the skills.

If you can't even pass the assessment, you are incompetent and have no talent!

Even if you are incompetent and have no talent, you still want to join the official class of the Han Empire?

Is it true that a big man is like the Wei thieves who put more emphasis on family background than character and talent?

Thinking of this, Feng Duhu leaned back in his chair again:

"Let's do it this way. When the time comes, make another copy of this list and send it to the Chancellor's Desk for arrangements."

"Alang, don't you take a look?"
