Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 738 Imperial Examination Reform
Sama sat on the tank boat, looked at the neat riverbeds on both sides of the Grand Canal, and heard the interpreter tell him that the river was completely excavated by hand, so surprised that his jaw could not close.

Population digging a river?
What a mighty power this is!

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually possessed such amazing power!

Naturally, the interpreter did not explain to Sama that the Grand Canal was excavated by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, but Sama looked at the wide Grand Canal and estimated the amount of work in his heart, and was even more frightened.

Datang is really too powerful!
Be sure to keep peace with such a mighty empire!

This was the only thought in Sama's mind. He touched the credential in his arms, and felt more at ease.

This letter of credence was written by the caliph himself, and the content is that the caliph invited the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to carve up the world together.

Sama only needs to submit the letter of credence to the emperor of Tang Dynasty, and then return to the food in black to publicize the situation of Datang, and the war should be avoided.

However, Sama also knew that the two powerful empires would definitely collide again. After returning to Heiyi Dashi, he must suggest to the Caliph to learn the technology of Datang.

Gao Shi knew that Sama was an envoy from a distant and powerful country, and summoned him to talk several times. Sama's attitude was very humble, and he knew everything about Gao Shi's problems.

Gao Shi was also amazed that after the Battle of Hengluo, scholars in the Tang Dynasty also had some new understanding of the world, knowing this powerful empire located west of the Western Regions.

But after hearing Sama talk about the system of black clothes and food, Gao Shi felt that black clothes and food should not be underestimated. A country with such a perfect system must be the biggest enemy of Datang in the future.

As a former frontier man who once served under Ge Shuhan's tent and served in Longyou, Gao Shi knew the importance of the Silk Road very well.

Gao Shi has been worshiped as the prime minister, so he is naturally more interested in the future powerful enemy of Heiyi Dashi. From Sama's conversation, he learned more information about Heiyi Dashi.

Gao Shi paid homage to the prime minister, and Li Tan also adjusted the Zhengshitang.

In fact, before Li Linfu destroyed the rotation system of Jiedushi, the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty would also be mobile.

The prime minister is appointed as a Jiedu envoy, and the Jiedu envoy returns to the court to serve as a prime minister. This is a relatively healthy way of official turnover.

The problems in many places are so intertwined that there is no way for people who are not at the level of the prime minister to go out of the town to solve them.

However, if some local officials did not have the opportunity to be promoted to the imperial court to become a marquis and worship the prime minister, they would indulge in sensuality at least, or conspire against An Lushan at worst.

In Cui Tao's secret letter, he proposed to restore the prime minister transfer system before Li Linfu.

Now that the world has just stabilized, many places need to send prime ministers to sit in charge, but now the Tang Dynasty no longer adds Jiedu envoys. After Li Tan consulted the opinions of the prime ministers in the Zhengshitang, and after the announcement of several orders, the huge personnel changes made the court Don was shocked.

Wei Jiansu, the envoy of Xichuan Festival, wrote a letter requesting to be appointed, and Li Tan, the prince of Jianguo, wrote several letters of condolence.

The imperial court no longer set up Xichuan Jiedu Envoy, but changed it to Xichuan Observation Envoy, with Prime Minister Zhang Hao as the post.

Zhang Xun stayed in Luoyang to worship the prime minister, but he stayed in Luoyang, the eastern capital, to supervise the dredging of the Bianhe water transport, and to rectify the water bandits and rebels near the water transport.

Prime Minister Miao Jinqing served as the Henan Observation Envoy, responsible for the reconstruction of the most severely damaged Henan area by the war.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial court appointed Yan Zhenqing as the envoy of the three towns of Hedong to collect wind and visit honesty, and set up a visit to Lianshi in Hedong, which was responsible for dealing with the problems of the people in the three towns of Hedong, and reported directly to Li Tan, the prince of the supervisory state.

Huainan no longer set up Jiedushi, but the entire southeast region established the Southeast Shibo General Department, and Wang Yadong served as the Shibo Chief Envoy, who was fully responsible for the affairs of the Southeast City Ship Department.

The northern port centered on Dahang City, and the people of Zhongshushe proposed to build a port in Jiaodong, Shandong. The General Department of Shipping in Dahang City was in charge of the affairs of the northern ports, and Pang Ju in Dahang City was in charge. .

The imperial court also set up the Nanzhao Propaganda Envoy, and let Hu Yu, the soldier and horse envoy of the Zhongyong Army, stationed in Taihe City, Nanzhao, to be in charge of all the affairs of the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhao.

Fifth Qi was promoted to be the servant of the household department. Yuanzai, who had worked very effectively in the Jiangnan Salt Institute, returned to the court and served as Duzhilang, and more people from Zhongshushe filled the household department.

In addition, the power of Yushitai has also been enriched, and it has gradually become a department that makes all the officials fear.

And an inner court system with Hanlin scholars as the council and Zhongshu Sheren as the executive agency was formally established. Li Tan decided to re-open the spring in March to institutionalize the selection of Hanlin scholars.

The reform of the imperial examination this time is the focus of the reform of the Shangbo.

After the separation of Princess Yanguang, the emperor bestowed a marriage on Shangbo and the princess.

At Shangbo's request, the wedding was a low-key one, but with the title of Prince Consort, Shangbo's reform of the imperial examination system in the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College finally reduced a lot of resistance.

However, Shangbo also knows that the reform of the imperial examination system cannot be achieved overnight. This year, the reform of Chunwei is not strong, but it has given candidates across the country a sigh of relief.

After all, everyone is studying hard in the cold window. If you make a big turn and change the admission method of the college entrance examination, most scholars will scold you.

In history, Wang Anshi was too hasty in reforming the imperial examination system, offending scholars all over the world at once. As a result, the old party united a large number of people to attack the new party, and finally turned into a struggle between the old and new parties.

The reform of Shangbo is mainly to obfuscate and copy the test papers to reduce cheating in the imperial examinations.

At the same time, put an end to factors outside the examination room, prohibit candidates from investing in bank papers, and abolish the bad habit of being a teacher. The questions for the imperial examination will be set by the emperor.

Shangbo did not modify the subjects and content of the imperial examination, but the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites negotiated a set of plans for the official career after the imperial examination, and published it in newspapers to inform all candidates.

All scholars who pass the Jinshi examination will start as officials from Zhongshusheren. According to the imperial examination, they will be awarded official positions from the seventh rank to the ninth rank. First, Li Tan's Hanlin scholars will lead these Zhongshushe People observe politics and do things, and wait until three years later to conduct inspections, and then the Zhengshitang will grant corresponding positions.

Scholars who have passed the Mingjing Department will start as officials from the school secretary of the six departments and the supervisors of the temples, and will be awarded positions from the eighth rank to the ninth rank according to their rankings. The Ministry of Officials inspected and awarded official positions.

Subjects such as Mingfa and Mingshu are assigned to the corresponding Ministry of Punishment and Ministry of Households to study politics according to their examination content.

At the same time, Shangbo invited the imperial court to set up a compulsory examination on top of the imperial examination.

The subjects of the compulsory examination are not ordinary scholars, but all the officials who have official positions in the Tang Dynasty.

Those who pass the system examination can enter the Yushitai as an official, and it is stipulated that they must pass the system examination to serve as a censor in the future.

Now everyone in Chang'an knows that the most noble official positions in the court are Yushi and Zhongshusheren, and Yushi is the most noble.

Sama, the envoy of Dashi, arrived in Chang'an City together with the scholars who went to Beijing to rush for the exam.
