The reforms of the saints were mainly focused on the imperial examination.

As early as the 13th year of Jianji's scientific examination, it was the first time that the quota for Jinshi was obtained based on Taoism.

In the first year of Tongguang, Yunnan, which participated in the Daxia Science and Technology Examination for the first time, was given two Jinshi places, and they were passed by the Duan family and the Gao family respectively.

In the fourth year of Tongguang (919), the scientific examination and reform continued.

The subjects with fixed quotas according to the Taoism have been expanded to two: Yunnan Province will have two quotas for Jinshi and one quota for agriculture.

There is no doubt that this is a major change.

How difficult it is to become a Jinshi in Confucian classics. Anyone who has experienced it knows that the competition is fierce. Thousands of troops walk on a single-plank bridge, and a bit of luck is required.

Although Yunnan is not as popular and the difficulty is not as high as other paths, in the Nanzhao era, there were many children of wealthy families studying Chinese classics. In recent years, there have been many more students, and it is not that easy to take the exam - hundreds of people take the exam first.

If you pass the rural tribute exam and then go to the capital to take the Jinshi exam, it will be very difficult to win all the way.

So, why not try for a place in agriculture? Although it is a miscellaneous subject, it is naturally looked down upon by economics students, but if you pass the exam, you have a high chance of becoming an official, which is no better than empty-handed?

The most important thing is that agriculture is easy to pass.

There are only a few textbooks: "The Book of Fan Sheng" written by Fan Shengzhi of the former Han Dynasty, "The Monthly Order of the Four People" written by Cui Shi of the later Han Dynasty, "The Essentials of Qi Min" written by Jia Sixie of the later Wei Dynasty, and "The Book of Qi Min" written by Wang Yong of this dynasty.

"Theory of Bloodline".

There is not a lot of content in the four imperial textbooks, and the test questions come from them. To be fair, it is much easier than taking the Jinshi exam.

Moreover, the first three books have been circulated for many years, and some people may have already touched upon them, so it is relatively easy to learn them.

I heard that Sinong Qing Liang Zhixia has been compiling an agricultural book for more than ten years, focusing on the different uses of different types of fertilizers, such as cow dung, chicken dung, plant ash, and ashes. After long-term experiments, Sinong Temple found that different types

The effects of fertilizers are indeed different.

The book may also cover the best planting methods of corn, wheat, fruit trees, new varieties of crops, rye, and sugar beets.

There are even different processing methods of crops, which is all-encompassing and the content is very complicated.

If the book is presented to the palace after it is completed and approved by the saint, it will probably be listed as a teaching material, and the difficulty of the exam will then increase.

It is wise to take exams early and do well early.

As a confidant of King Yan, Ren Wan knew the news.

If you ask him what his attitude is about this, of course he will be applauded! Although he was born as a Confucian scholar, he was really angry when he was not admitted to the imperial examination. He has always been in favor of the saint's improvement of the status of miscellaneous students, and let those Maoists

Awl, just cry, haha.

Well, Ren Wan may have forgotten his origins, but he is not a pure Mao Zizhi. In the battle of Huliupo in history, he followed Li Sizhao and fought fiercely with Liang Jun, and he was extremely brave.

After the war, Li Cunxu was shocked by his performance: "A Confucian scholar can also break away evil spirits? How brave is the benevolent man?" - Scholars must go into battle to fight. This is the "elegant government" since the Tang Dynasty.

"The long history has orders, and servants must obey them." When he heard that Ren Wan asked him to give a lecture, Cao Sanlang was happy and worried, but he still agreed.

"Why are you afraid?" Seeing the worried look on the foreman's face, Ren Wan smiled and said, "If you teach well, you will be successful in the future. If a saint can provide places for agriculture, he will also provide opportunities for medicine and engineering in the future."

He is not talking nonsense. In the miscellaneous subject examination, one is that the number of people taking the exam is small, and the other is that the level is low. The fixed quota for agriculture this time is a major reform.

In other words, even if your level does not meet the court's expectations, as long as your grades are better than others, the spot is yours, and the court will admit you "holding your nose".

Agricultural sciences can provide quotas, and other subjects can naturally provide quotas.

And when the number of officials with mixed academic backgrounds reaches a certain level, they will naturally become a force. If we want to reduce their quota and only focus on Confucianism (Jinshi), it will not be that simple.

Perhaps, this is the true purpose of the saint, for which he did not hesitate to lower the admission standards and fix the quota.

Many people said that he was a martial artist who acted recklessly, but Ren Wan just smiled at this.

But then again, the warrior is indeed a very good shield. Hiding behind it, the saint can do a lot of "deviant" things.

After more than a hundred years of suppression by warriors, Confucian scholars are no longer so high-spirited. Thank God that the saints can attach importance to the selection of officials through the imperial examination and stop allowing warriors to occupy official positions in large numbers and improve their status.

"Jianwen Shenwu..." Ren Wan secretly laughed in his heart: "Perhaps the Confucian scholars have not thought that the meaning of 'wen' is too broad, and the Sacred Heart is unpredictable." a>vas>div>Scan the QR code to download Red Sleeves and join Xiaoxiang to receive benefits.
