Chapter 329 The disadvantages of the imperial examination are not meritorious

Imperial examination, corrupt?
Even if there are no scribes here, I was still stunned when I heard this statement. What would happen if there were no imperial examinations?Give Xiaolian?Nine grade Zhongzheng system?Shiqing Shilu system?

The emergence of the imperial examination should be a great progress of the social system.

Even though the gentry class has become a cancer of the society, and the selection mechanism of the imperial examination has also been alienated under economic and other conditions, it is indeed an advanced talent selection mechanism.

Why do you say the imperial examinations are corrupt?

Everyone was puzzled, but Zhang Zhixiang and Wang Jiangque were thoughtful. In the past, when Zhang Zhixiang paid attention to the gentry, he understood that the foundation of the entire gentry class was nothing but the imperial examination.

That's why he and Jiajing reformed education and wanted to establish another talent selection system.

but.

This is the effect instead of the cause. Juzi is definitely not talking about this level. The imperial examination is rotten. Where is the rottenness?Not just the result of it producing the gentry class, but itself?
"Reading, imperial examination, reading, imperial examination..."

Zhang Zhixiang murmured repeatedly, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Juzi, at this, Juzi stroked his beard and smiled, and praised: "As expected of Wang Yangming and Yao Guangxiao's disciple, it seems that you have understood. "

"The biggest corruption of the imperial examination is that the talents it selects can enjoy the greatest resources of the society without making any achievements!"

"Not only that."

"It also firmly nails the scope of learning to the narrow black box of the Four Books and Five Classics, making people feel like a fly locked in a box, buzzing around without seeing any light."

"Especially during the Chenghua period, the imperial examination reached its peak!"

"The stereotyped selection of scholars, it standardizes the rules of the scientific examination, makes it easier for common people's students to prepare for the examination, and makes the examination fairer, but then what?"

"Don't read any books, don't even read the Four Books and Five Classics, how many people just memorize the exercises? How many people just try to figure out the previous exam questions?"

"Can a scholar who reads like this be a talent?"

"Of course they are! They are the best among the stereotyped scholars. They were killed by thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge. Then, they became scholars, eunuchs, Jinshi, officials, and landlords."

"Just because of reading, they have everything."

"How wonderful, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book."

"Regardless of whether these scholars who passed the imperial examination have the ability to do more things, in fact, they don't need to do more, because after going through the imperial examination, they have already obtained everything they can get."

"Next, it's just going with the flow."

"Being an official means you can't follow the steps, you need ability, and that's to compare with your classmates! They don't need to be very good at all, they just need to be better than their colleagues to be promoted, and they can get more power and benefits."

"For people outside of this, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless."

"You didn't come out of the imperial examination, you don't have the qualifications to participate in that game at all."

"The imperial examination not only monopolizes rights and excludes xenophobia, but also denies the value of all other talents!"

"A farmer knows how to farm the land, is it considered a talent?"

"Is it a talent for a craftsman to make exquisite handicrafts?"

"Is it considered a talent for a worker to be able to manufacture the most advanced guns and artillery?"

"Is it considered a talent for a soldier to be able to bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield?"

"If a person's value can only be realized through reading, what else is there to do in the world? If a person without talent achieves more value through hard work, is that considered an achievement?"

"The judging mechanism of a society is not based on how much contribution each person has made to the society and how many achievements he has made to allocate corresponding resources, but because he has the ability to read, so he can occupy most of the resources."

"what is this?"

"Isn't this rotten? It stinks!!"

Juzi's beard and hair were all stretched out when he spoke, like a sharp sword, his words hit the ground loudly, and the bamboo stick in his hand stomped on the ground as if hitting the whole world and everyone's hearts.

He cuts straight through the fog and lies of history.

The so-called institutional progress since the Han Dynasty, the inspection system, the nine-rank system, and the imperial examination system, has been knocked to pieces.

Just when everyone was contemplating, a swordsman dressed as a Confucian scholar came out, and he shouted loudly: "Your Excellency said the disadvantages of the imperial examination, I think it is inappropriate!"

This Confucian scholar has extraordinary bearing, he clearly walked, but he stepped several feet away.

The good people who came to Yizhou were basically well-informed, and soon someone recognized the Confucian scholar and shouted: "It's the Lanyang sword fairy Geng Ju, second in the Qinglong list!"

"Five years ago, I heard that he abandoned his official position to teach and became the head of the mountain at Ziyou Academy."

"I am from Changshu. During the years when Lanyang Sword Immortal was the county magistrate, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He did not close their homes at night and did not pick up their belongings on the road. He built a lot of water conservancy projects, and he still makes Changshu have a good harvest every year!"

Amidst the discussion among everyone, it was known that the person who came was Geng Ju, and he was not that kind of pedantic scholar.

He has both civil and military skills, and is good at governance. He has made great achievements.

Although Geng Ju came to argue, but he was not arrogant at all, walked a few steps away from Juzi, bowed his hands, and said: "Young Geng Ju, I have seen Juzi."

Juzi waved his hands impatiently, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"it is good."

Seeing Juzi like this, he also abandoned the hypocrisy and went straight to the point, saying: "Juzi said that the distribution of resources in society is not based on merit, but only on reading. I think it is wrong."

"360 lines, every line will be the champion."

"Ability determines a career, and the success or failure of a career directly determines the matching of resources. This is not what the imperial examination system needs to be responsible for, but what people need to earn in their lives."

Juzi didn't speak.

He took out a handful of corn from his cloth bag, and poured the corn in his right hand into his left hand, leaving only one grain of rice in his right hand. He randomly threw it into an ant pile, and let dozens of ants rob it...

He said: "Look, the strongest ant has snatched that grain of rice."

Geng Ju was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to refute. He is a scholar-bureaucrat, and he understands that as long as he wins the Juren, his neighbors will invest in the land. If he wins the Jinshi, he doesn't have to do anything , the land under his name can have tens of thousands of acres...

Obviously, these can be obtained without meritorious deeds.

He couldn't refute this iron-clad fact, he could only say: "Juzi said that the disadvantages of the imperial examination are nothing more than trying to set off the superiority of the Qin system, but since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination has flourished for nearly a thousand years, and it has been proved that it can run stably. "

"But what about Qin Zhi?"

"Great Qin's military feat nobility system is indeed based on merit, but is it feasible? Once the war is over, its system will inevitably collapse. This is also the reason why Qin II died!"
