Imperial examination system?
When Cai Jing heard the name of this unfamiliar system, he felt a little curious.
In this world, there is no such thing as the imperial examination system.
Basically, all the countries relied on recommendations from ministers, or selected elites from aristocratic families to serve as officials in the court.
If this continues for a long time, it will create a kind of "aristocracy".
These aristocratic families usually keep books that can change people's destiny under tight control and do not allow outsiders to read them.
For example, the Xiang family of Chu was the most powerful military family in the territory of Chu, without a doubt.
So, has there been no one in the Chu State who could replace the Xiang family for hundreds of years?
The answer is really no.
Because in order to make a difference in the army, one must understand the art of war.
However, some military books were firmly in the hands of the Xiang family.
What do others use to learn?
Without knowledge, one cannot become a talented person, and naturally cannot replace the Xiang family's position in the State of Chu.
This is equivalent to a vicious cycle.
Who is the ultimate winner?
It must be those aristocratic families.
After all, those who are powerful will always be powerful.
People without power can only wait for the change of dynasties to have a chance to succeed.
However, those who can stand out in the founding war are basically outstanding people, and there are very few people like this.
The emergence of the imperial examination system broke this deadlock.
Raising a noble son from a poor family is no longer just empty talk.
Of course, compared with the children of aristocratic families, they still have certain disadvantages.
However, having a chance is always better than having no chance at all.
Ying Yuan created the imperial examination system with only one purpose.
That is to further oppress the domestic aristocratic families through the so-called imperial examination system.
Make it unbearable for them and raise the banner of rebellion.
It would be better to let the Qin Dynasty perish in the flames of war.
He briefly introduced the imperial examination system to Cai Jing.
Upon hearing the sound, the latter fell into deep shock and couldn't extricate himself.
Imperial Examination System...
The greatest innovation in the world!
If this system can be successfully implemented, it will break the aristocratic family's monopoly on talent in one fell swoop.
By that time, everyone in the world wanted to study to gain fame and fortune.
Then no one raised their arms to call for action anymore.
At this moment, no matter what words were used to describe Cai Jing's surprised expression, they all seemed pale and powerless.
His arms began to tremble slightly and his heart was beating fast.
Imperial Examination System...
It is very likely that it is the panacea to ensure the revival of the Qin Dynasty!
Arrange them in order from prefectures and counties, provincial capitals, and provincial roads.
It can recruit talented people from all over the world to the greatest extent.
In this way, all the heroes in the world are within reach.
How could our dynasty not be strong?
However, there is a major problem here.
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination system you proposed is unprecedented in history. Once this is accomplished, our country will have an endless supply of talented people.
The country can continue to prosper. However, once the imperial examination is established, it is necessary to first educate and cultivate talents.
More than 50% of the world's books are in the hands of wealthy families. How can ordinary people have the opportunity to read? Even if they want to borrow them, they may not be able to borrow them.
The imperial court has too few books. If we want to influence the entire nation, I'm afraid it will take at least several years to order people to copy the books from now on!"
Cai Jing expressed his doubts.
Ying Yuan understood his concerns.
If we want to implement the imperial examination system smoothly, we must solve the problem of books.
Only when there are books will people read them.
There is no printing technology in this world today.
Many books need to be copied manually.
This is also the reason why Cai Yong cherishes those rare copies of ancient books.
Without enough books, the imperial examination system is just empty talk.
After all, if the poor cannot afford to go to school, how can they become talented? How can they participate in the imperial examinations?
If they don't take the imperial examinations, who will touch the profits of the aristocratic families?
At that time, how could the nobles rebel?
Therefore, the root of all problems must first be to solve the problem that the poor cannot read.
"I will find a way to deal with this matter. I am telling you this today so that you can run the official schools well in all counties across the country."
Ying Yuan ordered without question.
Cai Jing suddenly felt under tremendous pressure.
Let’s not talk about the construction of the canal.
Now we also need to establish official schools across the country.
In this way, the court's finances will inevitably hit rock bottom.
"Your Majesty, is this imperial examination really that urgent?"
Cai Jing said tentatively.
He also got a general understanding of the imperial examination system from Ying Yuan's oral narration.
Some of the details still need to be refined and improved.
Instead of just starting a pilot program in a certain region, it has spread to the entire country with such fanfare.
Isn't that a bit inconsiderate?
However, Ying Yuan didn't think so much, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and now the time is ripe.
Just follow my instructions. If there is nothing else, please leave for now."
Is the time just right?
Cai Jing was slightly stunned.
I feel that these words have some profound meaning.
What is the time now?
Build a canal?
etc...
canal?
Now, all the noble families in the country have announced publicly that they will help the court build the canal.
Could it be that Your Majesty wants to take advantage of the fact that the aristocratic families are too busy to accomplish this?
After all, with the emergence of the imperial examination system, the first people to be affected were definitely those aristocratic families!
