Separating arts and sciences into academic tracks is indeed a good approach.

As an official and a leader, one must have a relevant professional background to better lead subordinates, right?

Cao Song, standing to the side, gave Yuan Feng a deep look. Wasn't this precisely a way to graft and transfer the conflict, and then turn the passive situation into an active one?

He hadn't expected Yuan Feng to be so quick to apply what he learned and grasp the essence of it so fast, and he couldn't help but become secretly wary of Yuan Feng.

It seems that I will have one more formidable opponent in front of the emperor in the future.

"Your Majesty, I think what Sikong said is very insightful, and we should give it a try."

After a moment's thought, Li Ying realized that this method was indeed the most suitable, and agreed with Yuan Feng's opinion.

Cao Song nodded, "I also think it's feasible!"

"What does the Minister think?"

Seeing that Hu Guang had not yet expressed his opinion, Liu Hong couldn't help but look at Hu Guang and ask for his opinion.

"Your Majesty, what Sikong just said is indeed a good idea, but I think there are still some shortcomings!"

"Oh? Then please tell me, Situ, what's lacking in my method?"

Upon seeing Hu Guang point out his problem, Yuan Feng immediately looked at Hu Guang with some resentment.

Liu Hong also looked at Hu Guang with curiosity, wanting to see what different opinions he had.

"Your Majesty, I believe that a person's energy is limited, and these three academies are newly established. Most students have not paid attention to or studied this knowledge. If we only admit students who answered the newly added questions correctly, we will inevitably miss many talents. This is unfair to those students who have studied hard for many years!"

"this....."

Hu Guang's words did indeed point out the drawbacks of Yuan Feng's proposal, and after careful consideration, everyone agreed that it was indeed true.

Not to mention the students, even among the civil and military officials in the court, or even the young talents around the emperor, there might not be many who are proficient in this field, but you can't deny their talent.

Using only these few test questions as the criteria for recruitment is indeed a bit of an overgeneralization.

Liu Hong, seated on the throne, nodded and said in a deep voice, "What the Minister said makes sense. It would indeed be a great loss to miss out on some great talents because of this! Everyone, please think again about how to solve this problem!"

After Liu Hong finished speaking, the people in the hall fell silent again and began to think about a solution.

Before long, Liu Hong's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of the examinations in later generations.

Then Liu Hong spoke up, saying, "I think it would be better to set the assessment as a scoring system."

"Your Majesty, do you mean, like the Imperial Guard?" Li Ying couldn't help but ask.

"Good. This assessment will use a scoring system, with a total score of one hundred points. The major questions can be set at eighty points, and the newly added questions can be set as bonus questions. A score of seventy points is considered passing. Those who pass will be ranked according to their scores, and then hired in order!"

"Excellent, excellent! Your Majesty's method is truly brilliant! Upon hearing it, I felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through, and everything became clear. It is evident that Your Majesty's strategic brilliance surpasses even that of the ancient sages!"

No sooner had Liu Hong finished speaking than Cao Song immediately began to flatter him before anyone could react.
