"What is the true meaning of the imperial examination system?”
"To select talents and govern the country?"
"Nurture wings for the emperor?"
"It does have these two functions, but they are secondary!”
" Its core function is to open a path for the bottom to rise to the top. It's the most advantageous method to break the hierarchy.”
"The imperial examination is the only chance for the bottom class to race on the same track as the other classes!”
"It carries the dreams of the bottom, the hope of all the bottom. It is the ladder from the bottom to the top.”
"The purpose of running the imperial examinations well is not to recruit talents. How many of the talents selected by the imperial examinations can directly do things? Before taking office in the imperial court, one had to learn from scratch.”
"Zhu Yunwen's think tank, Huang Zicheng, was the Tanhua Lang in the 13th year of Hongwu. If Fang Xiaoru participated in the imperial examination, he would probably be the top scholar.”
"Can these people be used?"
"Running the imperial examinations isn't to rope in one or two talents. The Confucian Sect is more likely to corrupt these people than the Emperor.”
"The greatest use of the imperial examination for the emperor is to gather the hearts of the people! Let the lower class feel that there is hope, and their descendants will also be able to take the imperial examination, glorify the family, and be rich!”
"Therefore, as long as the social class can be circulated and there is hope at the bottom, it will be the will of the people.”
"The lower levels will support the emperor, and the dynasty will be as stable as a rock. People will be willing to help the emperor in the same boat.”
"In the later stages of the feudal dynasty, it is usually because of decay that the ascension channel of the phosphorus layer is completely closed, making the entire dynasty lifeless."
" At this time, the lower levels of society yearn for a new dynasty that can bring them hope. Once they encounter someone rebelling, it will quickly form an unstoppable torrent that will accelerate the destruction of the dynasty.”
"The Eastern Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and even the Qing Dynasty were all like this!”
"Using this logic is the true explanation of the sentence: Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
"So, the greatest use of the imperial examination is to open up a path for the lower class to advance, allowing the social class to circulate, and people have hope!”
"A person with hope must be full of vigor and energy. The dynasty must be progressing brilliantly.”
"As long as the people at the bottom want to grow with the dynasty, they will support the dynasty. They don't want others to destroy it.”
"The smoother the circulation of social classes, the stronger the dynasty will be. This is because those at the top who are unwilling to work hard will be replaced by fresh blood.”
"This will inject new life into the dynasty.”
"After the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped the imperial examinations for ten years because he felt that the imperial examinations could not bring him the talents he needed to govern the country.”
"After 10 years of thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood the true meaning of the imperial examination!”
"That is, the Imperial Examination is not to select talents for the country at all. The real Imperial Examination is to open up a path for Li Chun to advance from the lower class to the upper class!”
"From there, let these people become disciples of the emperor and thank the emperor for his kindness. They can be used to gather the hearts of the people.”
" Therefore, in one of the examinations, the high schools that were ranked were all scholars from the south, while there was no one from the north. At that time, the scholars from the north were furious and thought that the examiners were all southerners, which resulted in such an outcome.”
"But the real result is that after many rechecks and letting the northerners read the papers, the result is still the same. This is that the northern scholars are inferior to the southern scholars.”
"This is because Yuan Rao has been ruling the north for a long time and doesn't pay much attention to education. On the other hand, Confucianism flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty, causing an extreme imbalance in the education level between the north and the south.”
"When the news of the northern scholars 'encounters reached their hometowns, the hearts of the people in the north were shaken. They believed that the Imperial Court was abandoning them, and even the officials from the north wrote letters one after another. For a time, the north and south of the Great Ming were at odds with each other.”
"Zhu Yuanzhang, make a prompt decision and cancel the results of the imperial examination! Then, six months later, they would take the test again.”
"This time, he has carried out an unprecedented reform, and that is the North and South Division Roll!”
"The examinees are divided according to the north and south regions. The southern scholars compete with the southerners, and the northern scholars compete with the northerners. By accepting the same ratio of students, they immediately won the hearts of the people in the north and calmed the war between the north and the south.”
"Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang won the hearts of the people in the north.”
"But wouldn't the southern scholars complain?”
"Although we won the hearts of the people in the north, we still need the hearts of the people in the south.”
"The southerners will definitely feel that this is unfair.”
"Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang carried out another reform, the paper division system!”
"He divided the exam areas into three regions according to the level of education: the north, the middle, and the south. Then, the exam papers in the three regions were different.”
"This time, no one can question the unfairness of the imperial examinations.”
"We don't even need to take a test paper. How can we question fairness?”
"After the papers are divided, the imperial examinations in the three regions will be completely independent. This will allow the scholars in the north and south to turn their opposing emotions into conflicts that will allow the Imperial Court to recruit more people.”
"Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the situation to expand the number of admission spots. It can be said that he has perfectly solved the problem.”
"Therefore, from that time on, Zhu Yuanzhang achieved the two most important points of the examination system: The unification of absolute fairness and relative fairness!”
……………………
Damn it!
Cao Cao's eyes really admired Zhu Yuanzhang to death.
This was really a master at manipulating people's hearts. He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang could catch up to him in this aspect.
" Absolute fairness, relative fairness, different educational resources, divided into regional examinations."
Qin Shihuang muttered these words. He became more and more curious about Zhu Yuanzhang.
