Let you be a faint king, and you have unified the six kingdoms?

"This imperial examination...is called [Art Examination]. The announced talent is [Art Officer]."

"The duration is from March to September, that is, the two seasons of spring and summer, the warmest time of the year."

Luo Lin's order made the ministers quite helpless.

The ministers more or less felt that this was absurd.

You said, this piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are well done, can you be an official?

What should they do?

As a result, the cabinet ministers went to the memorial to ask, but the answer they got was "let them do whatever they can".

Ministers: "..."

This is too easy!

…………

Whatever you want.

But this matter has received the strong support of the Minister of household department.

"Open! You can open it! Do your best to reduce the cost of the art test, and find a large number of businessmen to invest." The minister of the household department has gathered a group of economics talents to study overnight how to make a lot of money through the art test.

When the cabinet ministers saw it, it seemed that they could make money, and this could more or less meet the requirements of the family, since they were all officials anyway.

So agreed.

News of the art test made headlines in major newspapers.

I have to say that in this era, all kinds of talents are running around. If you can't be an official, you can be a big businessman.

Today's newspapers are full of attention-grabbing headlines.

"Kangzhe's Enke for three years, two or three things you must know!"

“震来，自.小！说。群:9:8"0'2。0；5′8，5:6惊！天子又一大力改革科举制！”

"..."

Immediately attracted countless people to watch.

Generally speaking, heavy taxes will be imposed after successive years of war, but the dry state is different.

Now His Majesty loves the people, has never asked for tax increases, and the country's economy is developing rapidly, which has led to a lot of wealth among the people.

Buying newspapers has gradually become popular.

Among them is the school construction advocated by Zhao Yang, which caused the literacy rate to soar.

"Really? As long as you do something well enough, you can also be an official?"

"Although this artist...doesn't seem to have any power."

"indeed."

"Look! Is it true or false, can the artist superimpose??"

"For example, I took the piano test and got second. And the painting test, and got third. Then I have two artistes with me!"

"The more artists there are, the more benefits there will be, and there will be some power accordingly."

"What the hell is His Majesty thinking...?"

"Your Majesty is a great talent, can you and I figure it out?"

"Ah yes yes yes..."

…………

Anyway.

This time, the super-big reform for the imperial examination has finally been implemented.

The Ministry of Households has already begun to organize, and around March, Qianguo will start the first art test.

Luo Lin got what he wanted to destroy the national destiny as he wished.

System: "Ding! If you make a foolish act [Change the laws of the ancestors], 3 points of national luck will be deducted!!"

"Rewards: 120 books related to art examination, 10 taels of gold, 1 taels of silver, 1 Maxima, 1 superb guqin, [-] superb flute..."

This time, the content of the reward is also very strange, it is all about the art test.

Books, money, and various physical rewards.

System: "Current National Games

point! "

"Please, host, make persistent efforts!"

"There are still 8 days left until the end of the month!"

Rollin: "..."

Forty thousand...

Back here again.

There is an illusion of standing still... Is it an illusion?

Chapter 153 The Emperor's Answer!Countless people apply for the art test

2030 years.

Ladder classroom.

The history teacher walked to the podium in autumn clothes, and the students quickly fell silent.

"Then let's get straight to the point. What I'm going to talk about today is the art test."

"Compared to the interesting or magnificent events before, the art test seems to be no big deal, but the officials at that time wanted to open Enke, and the emperor added the art test."

"However, the art test is actually an eternal achievement of the emperor!"

"First of all, students, what is the significance of the imperial examination? Does anyone know?"

A classmate raises his hand.

"The significance of the imperial examination is to break the monopoly of class, and it is a channel for ordinary people to rise. A healthy dynasty must have people from the bottom to enter the top. Only such a dynasty can last."

"Yes." The history teacher smiled, "However, the actual imperial examination, or the imperial examination at that time, had many disadvantages."

"For example, the system of vague names."

"Among the Seven Kingdoms at that time, only Qian State had the system of vague names. This is related to the old tradition of Qian State. As the inventor of the imperial examination, the Taizu of Qian State has always been more advanced in Qian State than other countries."

"At that time in other countries, the candidates' names would not be concealed, and the examiners would be able to give high marks to the children of those aristocratic families based on the candidates' names."

"The system of anonymous names is advanced, but why was it only possible for the dry state at that time? This is the difference between saying and doing. It is easy to say, but difficult to do."

"If you want to get rid of the anonymous name system, you have to face the resistance of the original beneficiary class."

"Grandfather of the Great Emperor, improved the system of anonymous names."

"And the emperor's grandfather never imagined that the imperial examination system, which seems to have been perfected, would actually undergo a major reform in the hands of the emperor!"

"There is no doubt that it is the art test."

The students were stunned when they heard the history teacher's words.

"The so-called art examination is largely different from martial arts examinations and imperial examinations. It was the third channel for ordinary people at that time."

"Why is the Great Emperor respected by countless people? It is because his system has survived forever."

"The art test has become the third upward channel, which has attracted a large number of talents for Daqian."

"That's its historical significance."

"Next, let's look at the specific situation at that time."

"At that time, Dagan acquired a large amount of land, and most of the officials on these lands belonged to the previous generation. Therefore, Baiguan suggested to open Enke, or even open more imperial examinations, so as to screen out a large number of officials to replace these original officials. .”

"However. This is the reason on the surface. In fact, there were many families in Dagan at that time."

"Everyone should remember that in the hands of the Great Emperor, the Huaxia Dynasty changed from family rule to bureaucratic rule. But there is a process of transformation. It was not until the implementation of the household separation law that this transformation entered the accelerated stage. Before that, in Daqian Most of the talents who contribute are from aristocratic families. Familiar historical figures like Yang Su and Ke Wu are all from aristocratic families."

"Don't think that the aristocratic family will be gone if Emperor Kangzhe killed the eight great families in the first year of Jiangnan. That would be too naive."

The history teacher talked eloquently.

"At that time, the aristocratic families hoped to send their own people into the political system of Daqian, and then stabilize their class status."

"But the emperor did not choose to agree."

"It is clearly recorded in the history books that the emperor has repeatedly rejected Kai Enke's advice."

"What does this mean? The emperor is very clear about what the family wants to do."

"The Qian State at that time was a typical example where the monarch was strong and the ministers were weak."

"The emperor is a representative and arbitrary emperor in history."

"The chief minister of the cabinet, Zhao Yang, is a chief minister from the Ministry of Industry. His political power is far inferior to that of the previous chief ministers of Qianguo."

"Under such circumstances, the emperor simply ignored the family's request. He had to think of another way out."

"The way out is the art test."

"The content of the art test has nothing to do with engineering and science, and it has no direct relationship with martial arts."

"Now, let's look at the answer given by the Great Emperor."

"Economically: the multi-front war at that time, the many and long logistics lines, the crazy consumption of funds, the six-month art exam, attracted the scholar and student class, and took their money out of their pockets. "

"Military: The talents selected by the art examination do not seem to have strong power, but they are still sent to the local area as auxiliary officials. In other words, there is a possibility of promotion. As long as they have political achievements, they will have credit. It is also possible to gain more power later.”

"Undoubtedly, this satisfies part of the family's requirements. The family can still put their own people in. These people are all talented, and they can do it through an art test."

"Culturally: The art examination system has promoted the development of Chinese art and culture. Since the appearance of the art examination, in line with the economic development background at that time, Chinese art has been developed. It has also attracted artistic talents from other countries and absorbed talents into the cadres. country."

"Politically: A large number of low-level talents became art officials, and they diluted the official structure at that time. Although there was no performance at first, these art officials who entered the political system objectively further suppressed the formation of officials like the Jiangnan faction. situation arises."

"classmates."

The history teacher ordered the table.

"The talent of the great emperor surpasses the world. He not only gave perfect marks in Wenzhiwugong, but also the best emperor in history in terms of loving the people like a son. Only three years after Kangzhe, he launched martial arts consecutively. , art test, these two channels for the lower class people to rise to the middle and upper class!"

"The name of the Great Emperor is not just because he has opened up a large amount of territory."

The history teacher said with a smile on his face.

The students are also excited, it is precisely because there are emperors like Emperor Luo Lin in history that the current Chinese dynasty can exist!

dry country.

Along the coastal area.

"Plop!" A man took off his clothes, threw them aside, and jumped into the river.

The river is rolling and the current is quite fast.

A few minutes later, the man reappeared, dragging a big fat fish out of the river with its cheek held in his hand.

"Hey, Uncle Lin." The man spoke with an accent, and said to a literati in brocade clothes, and then gave an unruly salute.

This literati is a local petty official.

Even though he was only a small official, it was not something a commoner like a man could provoke.

"Xiao Wu." The literati put on a smiling face, "Have you considered taking the art test? There is water in the art test."

"Art test? What is that?" The man hesitated and asked.

"The new system created by the emperor! If you do well in the exam, you can become an official!"

"Official...but I don't know a few words..." the man said weakly.

At this time, the big fat fish struggled for a while, trying to escape.
