The Official Examination System, Everyone Can Become Officials!
"We are people who are clear about rewards and punishments. If you have merit, we will reward you. If you have guilt, we will punish you.”
"So it should be yours."
"I won't let you have less."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
He changed the topic and picked up a stack of scholars 'answers on the table.
"I just looked at the answers here. There's a big problem with the answers.”
"Many scholars can't differentiate between grains.”
"Most of these people are pampered.”
"No wonder."
"Minister Ye, according to your standards.”
"I'm afraid not many of these scholars can pass.”
The imperial examination system was meant to select talents.
Many scholars who lived in luxury could not answer Tidas's questions.
Not many scholars were qualified.
Here came the problem.
Big Ming lacked talents.
It was not enough to screen out so few people.
"Beloved minister, is there any other way to screen out more talents for my Great Ming?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"There is indeed a way."
"Actually, the emperor can recruit all these people.”
Tidas replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned.
Selection of talents.
How can it be child's play?
All of them?
This was simply nonsense!
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became a little unhappy. His face darkened, and the originally peaceful atmosphere became solemn. A murderous aura faintly filled the space, making people's hearts tremble.
"Minister Ye, I asked you to give me ideas, not to fool me.”
"What is your idea?"
"All of them?"
"If we were to accept all of them, would we still need you?”
"Are you joking with us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly.
He thought that Tidas was fooling him.
Zhu Biao noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking the wrong thing.
Zhu Biao was kind-hearted and could not bear to see anything happen to Tidas, so he hurriedly spoke up for Tidas.
"Mr. Ye, when you choose talents, you definitely won't be aimless.”
"I believe there must be a deeper meaning behind Mr. Ye's words about hiring all of them. Don't you think so, Mr. Ye?”
"Naturally."
Tidas replied.
Zhu Biao stole a glance at Zhu Yuanzhang, and sure enough, his complexion was much better.
"Minister Ye, the purpose of selecting talents is to better manage the country and the people. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to recruit all those scholars, right?”
"There are mediocre people among these scholars."
"If another official like Li Zhongzu, the prefect of Taicang, appears, my Great Ming will probably be turned into a foul atmosphere by this group of people.”
"Therefore, we can't be careless when choosing talents.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.
Tidas explained.
"Although I said that I would recruit all of them, I didn't want them to be officials for the rest of their lives.”
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Have the two of you heard of the 'examiner' before?"
"Examiner?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were confused.
"The 'official examination' is to let those students who are able to pass the court examination go to the bottom to try to be an official for a year. If their achievements are outstanding, they will be hired again.”
"Of course, the emperor can also let those scholars make a choice.”
"If they want to be officials, let them be.”
"However, if they don't want to be a doctor anymore, they will have to go to the hospital.”
"Things are not that simple."
"Strictly adopt the 'lenient entry and strict exit'.”
" Those scholars who choose to be officials can go to the lowest level they want to be officials and let them try to be officials. If they don't do well or want to give up halfway, they will be punished according to the law. The lightest punishment is to be stripped of their official positions, and the worst is to be beheaded.”
"If they do well, they will continue to be officials.”
Tidas said.
The "official examination" system had existed since the time of Wu Zetian.
In history, Wu Zetian accepted all the scholars and let them make a choice. If they wanted to be an official, they would be an official.
In fact, Wu Zetian had even implemented the system of 'examination'.
Officials below the ninth rank and commoners.
One could become an official or be promoted through self-recommendation, recommendation from others, or recommendation from a local area.
However, there were some problems with this system.
In other words, the common people all wanted to be officials.
I'm addicted to being an official.
It caused chaos in the country.
Overuse.
For this reason, some people used limericks to ridicule the phenomenon of Wu Zetian's indiscriminate promotion of officials.
"Buque even car, ten relics flat bucket quantity, Ba push Shi Yu Shi, bowl off school book Lang.”
"You don't read the law when you judge things, and you don't look for chapters when you're a doctor.”
The meaning of this limerick was that those with iron-toothed rakes and chopsticks could become officials, while Wu Zetian, the "Holy Emperor", pretended not to see it.
Wu Zetian did not punish those who mocked her.
Instead, she smiled and said,"If you don't abuse it, why worry about what the world says?"”
Wu Zetian's words proved her magnanimity.
After that, the "test officer" and "lenient entry and strict exit" took effect.
The moment the "official examination" began…
If he didn't do anything.
Incompetent.
If they were discovered, they would be dismissed.
If it's serious, kill him.
Those shallow people who wanted to become officials and become addicted to being officials.
Often, they would lose their heads after a few days.
He would use his life to compensate for the losses he had caused.
Under the 'official examination' system, many capable people had emerged and made many contributions to the Great Tang.
For example, Wei Yuanzhong, Zhang Jian, Di Renjie, Yao Chong, and the others.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao pondered.
This method was not bad.
Talent screening.
It also broadened the channels for Da Ming to select talents.
The anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face dissipated and turned into a smile.
The atmosphere in the royal study also became less solemn.
"Let's just say that Minister Ye is very talented."
"Biao 'er, look, we didn't misjudge you.”
"The 'Examiner' is good!"
"To be able to make all the talents in the world work for us, our Great Ming will not lack talents in the future.”
"Hahaha, Minister Ye's plan is really wonderful. Your talent is comparable to Xiao He.”
Tidas was speechless.
Tidas, who had once again witnessed the speed at which Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed, was already quite speechless.
No wonder it was said that accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger.
If one were to say the wrong thing, one would be beheaded if they were to stay by the side of such an unpredictable emperor. It was not wrong to describe the emperor as a tiger.
Tidas could not help but think of the TV series about Zhu Yuanzhang that he had once watched.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He, and Xu Da drank together.
He was drinking happily.
In the end, Tang He laughed and said," If the descendants of the upper position are all crowned kings and guard Great Ming, with so many descendants of the upper position, wouldn't our Great Ming be bloated in less than ten generations?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression instantly changed.
They questioned who said that.
Liu Bowen?
Li Shanzhang?
Tang He quickly pretended to be drunk to escape.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was probably more terrifying than a tiger.
Tidas thought to himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Tidas's "test tube" system was not bad and happily adopted this suggestion.
Then, he rolled his eyes.
It wasn't easy to get Tidas to meet him. If he didn't ask for advice, it would be a waste.
"Beloved Minister, now that Great Ming has a hundred things to do, the people are only on the edge of food and clothing. Do you have a good plan to make Great Ming more prosperous?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
After years of war, the lives of the people in the early Ming Dynasty were indeed not good.
