It became the most important subject in the imperial examination.
It is also a particularly difficult subject.
It has to be said that from the recommendation system of the Han Dynasty to the Nine-Rank System of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Then came the imperial examination system.
It was considered to have barely broken the aristocratic class's monopoly on official employment.
It provides children from poor families with a channel to enter officialdom and get promoted.
The imperial examination system had existed since the Sui Dynasty, but it was not until Li Er ascended the throne that the imperial examination was established as a system for recruiting officials for the imperial court.
In this matter alone, Li Er can be said to be unprecedented.
At least the imperial examination system gave hope to the lower-class scholars.
As long as you are willing to study hard, you will have the opportunity to become an official.
Although this is only one in a million.
Logically speaking, as a businessman, Zhuang Zhou naturally had no chance to participate in the imperial examination.
and.
Or as deputy examiner.
But since Li Er specifically asked him to participate.
This is obviously due to political considerations.
Its purpose is also obvious.
It is to break the monopoly of aristocratic families on talent selection.
In order to provide opportunities for advancement for those from poor families.
The poor here does not refer to the lower class people.
The so-called poor families mainly refer to the "common people" who did not control political resources in ancient times.
This is in contrast to the gentry.
After all, people from poor families are not necessarily poor.
It is not the poor class as you think.
Quite the opposite.
The term "poor family" mostly refers to wealthy and powerful families.
For example, a landlord or a clerk.
These people are financially well-off.
It's just that they don't have access to political resources and have no channels for promotion.
In fact, the imperial examination system mostly attracted this group of people.
So in the final analysis, the imperial examination system still serves the ruling class.
As for the real common people at the bottom of society, no one cares about you.
For Zhuang Zhou, it was naturally impossible for him to break through this class issue.
At least, for now, it is impossible for him to convince Li Er to do this.
Because Li Er still represents the powerful class and the vested interests.
The reform of the imperial examination system cannot be achieved overnight, but needs to be done step by step.
Just because something cannot be done now does not mean it cannot be done in the future.
As long as you are willing to do something, taking the first step can be a huge breakthrough.
As for the reform strategies proposed earlier, it depends on what Li Er thinks.
