Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Du Shaoqing was a little puzzled, "It's just the imperial examinations. Whoever writes the questions seems to have little effect on the country's talent selection? What are they afraid of me?"

Yu Shinan was silent for a moment, staring at Du Shaoqing and asked: "When you built the school, did His Majesty talk to you?"

"No, he just said that Datang is in urgent need of people who can read and write to govern the country, so he strongly supports me in building a school." Du Shaoqing shook his head.

With a long sigh, Yu Shinan said: "Originally, His Majesty needed to explain this root cause to you, but now that I have reached this point, I will point it out.

The previous imperial examinations did not mean that there were no people who could read and write from the people, but the imperial examination was to select talents for the country.

So countless pairs of eyes are staring at the imperial examination, or in other words, listening to these vacant official positions, among which the most powerful are the famous families with five surnames and seven wangs. "

Du Shaoqing said with emotion: "That's right. When it comes to the number of scholars, you have to be a family with a thousand years of history. There is not even a decent school among the people, but every family has a library of books. Who can compare?"

No, no, it's not for this reason, Yu Shinan waved his hands again and again.

"When the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, the court's selection of talents became the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and today's major families basically began to rise after the Three Kingdoms.

For hundreds of years, officials at all levels have held the positions of the imperial court. This is why it is said that a thousand-year-old family has a century-old dynasty. The power of these people adds up, and even the imperial court has to give in. "

Du Shaoqing nodded and said: "I know this, I have a lot of experience in doing business in recent years."

"The imperial examination system was established in the former Sui Dynasty to break down the barriers of these aristocratic families, but it is easier said than done. In the current Tang Dynasty, if we want to follow the example of the former Sui Dynasty, it has little effect.

It wasn't until your appearance that there was a glimmer of hope in this matter, which is also the fundamental reason why the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are hostile to you. "Yu Shinan finally got to the point.

root cause?Du Shaoqing was stunned, as if it was the reason.

I am just a son-in-law, even if I am given the title of a talented scholar, it seems that I can't stop these aristocratic families from doing anything, but why are they so hostile when they come up?

Just because the emperor got a talented son-in-law?It doesn't make sense.

Listening to what the teacher said now, it really makes sense.

"Teacher, you are saying that I have improved papermaking, passed on movable type printing, so that the world will not lack books, and at the same time build public schools, so that more people can go to school, more people will take part in imperial examinations in the future, and the scope of the imperial court's selection will expand. In this way, in a disguised form, they robbed the jobs of the children of those aristocratic families, so they are hostile to me?"

Yu Shinan nodded and said, "That's about it.

I'm afraid you don't know that in the past, if a scholar from the countryside wanted to pass the imperial examination, it was far from enough to rely solely on personal talent.

Because the officials who wrote the questions and even judged the papers were all members of the noble family, so the imperial examination, a weapon invented to deal with the powerful, was finally controlled by the powerful, and it was useless. How ridiculous?

Basically, every year, the imperial court can't recruit a single person who can be cultivated with a public heart. It's all because people recruit talents before the exam.

There is a method called submitting papers, that is to say, a student needs to deliver a letter or a dry poem to those noble officials in power before the scientific examination to show his loyalty and attachment. After that, if the student can stand out in the scientific examination , there will be someone who will take care of it and select it.

The officials selected in this way, the first to pledge allegiance, is still not the imperial court, but the powerful family.

Having said so much, you, do you understand? "

Du Shaoqing nodded numbly, almost stunned. Although no one had explained this information carefully to Torture, he had only a half-knowledge of life in Chang'an in the past few years. He didn't expect to hear it today, but it was still shocking.

No wonder there is a saying in the world that a thousand-year-old family and a century-old dynasty are like a very tight industrial chain, which has been impregnated by others. It is almost impossible to break this blockade.

In the former Sui Dynasty, the Yang family was able to invent the imperial examination system, which is indeed a stroke of genius, but it is a pity that the Sui Dynasty was extremely prosperous and declined, and died in only the second generation.

Du Shaoqing is a medical student, and he has only a half-knowledge of history. He doesn't know at all. It was not completed until it was passed on to Wu Zhao, the female emperor who was a genius in heaven, and broke the blockade of these aristocratic families.

There is no empress in this life, and it seems that Du Shaoqing has to rely on Du Shaoqing to do it. He didn't think so much, after all, he is not good at governing the country.

"My disciples understand, that is to say, we start from the basic links of papermaking, book printing, teaching, etc., and now we are about to reach the final selection before becoming an official.

What I want to do now is to select questions and break their bad habit of submitting papers for many years? "

Yu Shinan said with a smile: "Yes, this is also the reason why His Majesty in the court supported you as the main questioner."

"But didn't you say that there is still a gap between the question making and the talent selection. How can I come up with the question? It's not the same as relying on the assistance of the minister who made the question in previous years. It would be good if I can keep it from going wrong.

In the end, it was someone else who judged and selected the test papers, what a waste of trouble! "Du Shaoqing spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"So you need to use your ingenuity to come up with clever questions! Don't you always have a lot of whimsy and eclectic ideas? This time, if there is a magic pen, it can not affect the students' answering questions, and can avoid the grading of the paper." Fraud and favoritism are the best of both worlds.

Years of problems have been solved by you with one move, tsk tsk, wait to be admired and loved by students all over the world! "

Yu Shinan was encouraging and tempting Du Shaoqing to analyze, but Du Shaoqing expressed that he was under a lot of pressure. Is there such a good thing?If so, it would have been found by someone all these years ago, waiting for me?

Hearing the students' questions, Yu Shinan pondered for a moment and reminded: "The schools you run account for a large proportion of the students in the world, and the main target of this selection is them.

Since it is your school, are there any unique skills in it?In the end, it is good that the students in the school can answer it, but the aristocratic students from the aristocratic families may not be able to answer it? "

Du Shaoqing was thinking hard, pacing back and forth in Yu Shinan's study, muttering to himself: "If we had said something like this earlier, we could just invent one and teach it in the academy, but it's too late now.

The teaching in my academy is quite complicated, so I can't even take the basic knowledge of herbal medicine?Those selected in that way can only be admitted to Tai Hospital.

I think about it

By the way, do you think it is okay to take the math test? "

"Arithmetic?" Yu Shinan's eyes lit up, "You mean, test the abacus you invented? Numeracy is a necessary skill for officials to manage local government affairs. It's not impossible to take this test as a subject, but the advantage is not great.

The abacus you invented has been very popular in the past two years, and it can't be difficult for people. Besides, every family has its own secret biography of abacus, which should not be underestimated.

Of course, if you have no better way, this move is better than nothing, you can give it a try! "

Du Shaoqing slapped his thigh, laughed loudly and said, "There's no need to take the abacus, I know what to test, and there are really unique things in my school, so I just remembered."

"Oh? Really? Tell me!"

The two whispered to each other for a while, and Du Shaoqing explained in detail, Yu Shinan was overwhelmed by what he heard, and said in surprise: "My God, how did you know how to teach this by mistake?

If you really made meritorious deeds because of these things, it can only be said that the aristocratic family should fall into your hands, this is the destiny! "

Du Shaoqing said, I didn't think so much. When I founded the school, I only wanted to copy the basic education of my previous life, just to cultivate talents. No one thought about calculating who so and so. We are good people. Oh, hehe, I'm sorry, it's your bad luck!

"Shaoqing, if you have a clue about the scientific examination, you can rest assured as a teacher. You can talk to His Majesty, and then just ask a few capable people to help you with the questions, and His Majesty will arrange for you.

The old man has a private matter to discuss with you, it is about the girl Xuanxuan. "Yu Shinan said with a strange expression.

Du Shaoqing thought what was the matter, waved his hands and said: "I know you always like children, didn't you just promise you that you won't pick up both children?"

No, you, you don't want to tell me that you support Xuanxuan to take the exam, right? "

"What? Kong Yingda, the old man, has betrayed him?"

Inside the Cui family's mansion in Boling, Chang'an, Mr. Cui's son exclaimed.

The boy who reported it reminded in a low voice: "My lord, you can't be called a traitor. That old man Kong didn't help us in the first place."
