I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 230 Discussing the Rules with Brother Zheng

The reason why I have such an idea.

It's not that Ying Changsheng is selfish and wants to let his students enter the court and let them become officials.

The essence is that Ying Changsheng feels that there are some problems with the current layout of the Great Qin Dynasty Hall.

The people in the court are all nobles from aristocratic families, and there are too many officials from civilian backgrounds.

The ass decides the head, this sentence is not just talking.

This is a fact.

Officials are from aristocratic families. Naturally, when they formulate national policies, they will involuntarily favor these aristocratic families. Under such circumstances.

If you want the common people to benefit, that is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, at the moment, Ying Changsheng just wants to change this situation, and there is a way.

It is also very simple to say.

It is to let more officials of civilian origin enter the court, so that the interests of the common people can be guaranteed.

However, Ying Changsheng's idea was very difficult to implement.

Therefore, the current Ying Changsheng intends to tell his students first, tell them what the imperial examinations will be above the imperial court, so that when they take the imperial examinations, they will inherently possess a certain amount of knowledge. advantage, and this is the ultimate goal of winning longevity.

Inside Zhangtai Palace.

At this moment, Ying Changsheng came straight here after leaving the academy.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Changsheng who was saluting in front of him in puzzlement, he really didn't understand why this kid came here now, only saw Ying Zheng raised his eyes, looked at Ying Changsheng and opened his mouth to ask.

"You kid, what do you want to do when you come to me in such a hurry?"

"Father, my son came here this time to discuss with my father what the content of this imperial examination will be determined!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a puzzled look, and he asked.

"Could it be, what do you think about the content of the imperial examination?"

"Isn't this, we just need to formulate some national policies for our Great Qin and deal with issues related to government affairs. Is there anything else worth considering?"

"Father is wise, these places do exist!"

Ying Changsheng said to Ying Zheng without thinking.

I only heard him explain.

"Father, I ask you, is it difficult to handle government affairs?"

"This one……"

After hearing this, Yingzheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

To be honest, from Yingzheng's point of view, handling the government affairs of Daqin is actually not difficult.

the reason is simple.

Yingzheng has been in charge since he was a teenager.

In these days, Ying Zheng has always been responsible for handling the national affairs of the Qin Empire. After so many years of political career, Ying Zheng really does not regard handling government affairs as too difficult.

At this moment, looking at Ying Changsheng who suddenly mentioned this matter in front of him, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a puzzled look, but Ying Changsheng explained to Ying Zheng.

"It's really not difficult to deal with government affairs!"

"But, as an official, do you only need to deal with government affairs?"

"Furthermore, Father, if officials are only selected through examinations, then, if the selected officials are a group of officials who can only do questions, what should they do?"

What Ying Changsheng said was not that he was worrying unfoundedly.

but facts.

Historically, when the imperial examinations were implemented in the Ming and Qing dynasties, only the examination questions were used in the imperial examinations. In this way, coupled with the content of the examination questions, they were limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, so that, for a long time, the Ming and Qing Dynasties of officials.

It evolved into a writer who only knew how to take imperial examinations and write eight-legged essays.

Many officials who have passed the Jinshi examination have not even read the 24 histories, and even they do not understand many poems and articles.

The level is so bad that it is almost unnecessary.

Under such circumstances, it led to the incompetence of officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

After all, a group of officials who can only write stereotyped articles, how capable can you count on them?
The officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties did not manage politics very well.

After they took office.

They only do one thing.

That is, taking a group of money and food masters who are proficient in handling government affairs, collecting taxes and managing the local area, and then after arriving at the place, he becomes the shopkeeper, only dealing with corruption, and leaves all government affairs to the masters.

It can be said that the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were brilliant in terms of system, but in terms of actual effects, they were not too bad.

Right now, Ying Changsheng is trying his best to prevent such a scene from happening.

And his words were also approved by Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng thought about it carefully in his heart. Indeed, he felt that an official would only know how to make questions.

So, what else can this official do?

But, otherwise, Ying Zheng is so real that he can't think of an appropriate way to take the exam, only to see Ying Zheng frown and ask Ying Changsheng in front of him in puzzlement.

"So, in your opinion, how should you choose officials? How can you avoid this from happening?"

"Father, this matter is difficult to say, but in fact, it is also very simple. You only need to set no restrictions on the exam questions and use your imagination, and then you can get a group of useful talents through the real exam!"

"Furthermore, you also know that handling government affairs is actually not difficult. Therefore, even if they do not know how to handle government affairs after passing the exam, we can teach them that all officials who pass the exam will not directly , to enter my Daqin official career, I will give them an internship period for the second half of the year, and then, based on their performance during the internship period, I will decide whether they will be truly hired!"

Ying Changsheng said with a smile, and he also created the concept of the internship period of later generations thousands of years ago.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing surprise, he nodded in satisfaction, and then said.

"This is a good way!"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Changsheng.

"Apart from this, is there any other way?"

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng continued to speak after thinking about it for a while.

"Besides, there should be a rule, that is, all those who take the test must take a physical test!"

"Physical test?"

After hearing this unfamiliar name, Ying Zheng couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

But Ying Changsheng explained.

"This is to prevent that the officials in the court in the future will only be able to handle government affairs, but not military affairs!"

"It is!"

Hearing this, Yingzheng couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face. ,
In this era, there is no distinction between civil and military affairs.

Under such circumstances, any official should have some knowledge about the military, only Ying Changsheng said.

"So those who take the imperial examination must test their physical fitness, equestrian skills, swordsmanship, and their archery skills!"

"If you don't meet the standard, you won't be able to take the imperial examination!"

"Indeed, there should be such a rule!"

Ying Zheng nodded heavily, expressing his agreement with Ying Changsheng's point of view.
