Chapter 184 Imperial Examination VS Civil Service Examination
  In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.

A new day begins for each dynasty and each generation, and everyone is busy with their own affairs.

Emperors of various dynasties got up very early and summoned ministers to discuss state affairs early in the morning.

One of the biggest state affairs is of course arranging personnel to explore various mineral deposits so as to bring huge wealth to the national treasury as soon as possible.

The world map I grabbed last night is a treasure map and must be put to good use.

After a whole night of information compilation, the emperors of each dynasty have now obtained the distribution of all mineral deposits in the world, including the most important distribution of domestic mineral resources.

Ying Zheng carefully looked at the information in his hand in the court hall. Even though his concentration was amazing, he couldn't help but feel violently shaken at this moment. He wanted to look up to the sky and scream.

This information was compiled by Li Si overnight. It records that Daqin alone has 48 gold mines, 68 silver mines, and thousands of iron ore, copper, and coal mines. As for the number of overseas mineral deposits, More.

These mineral resources are real wealth, and digging just one of them can fill the Great Qin treasury.

Ying Zheng: Li Si, I want you to immediately arrange for personnel to explore all the mineral deposits in Daqin. I want to know which mineral deposits can be mined.

Li Si: Your Majesty, I have made arrangements for the personnel and can set off now.

Ying Zheng: Xiangshui County is not far from Xianyang. You first arrange for people to go to Xiangshui County to investigate the situation. I see that there is one silver mine, two iron mines, and one copper mine in Xiangshui County. I will know these four mines this afternoon. Can a mine be mined? Is it possible?

Li Si: Your Majesty, don’t worry, I will definitely complete the mission.

Seeing Li Si turn around and go down to arrange tasks, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why he is so eager is because he has a grand wish in his heart. To realize this wish, a large amount of money is needed. Now he is counting on mining to bring huge wealth to the court.

And this grand wish is to enable all the people of Da Qin to read, read, and receive education.

In the past, he would have never dared to dream.

But things are different now. As long as the mineral deposits can be mined, Da Qin's wealth will never be exhausted.

And more importantly, now that the sky screen plays simplified Chinese teaching videos, the people of Great Qin are already learning to read and read.

But just having the morning time to learn simplified Chinese characters is far from enough, and the efficiency of studying with Tianmu is also very low.

Therefore, he planned to establish schools in all counties and counties in Daqin and let all the children in Daqin go to school. In this way, centralized reading and literacy could cultivate talents for Daqin faster.

To do this, you need to invest a huge amount of money, and now you are waiting to dig out gold and silver.

He knew very well that if Da Qin wanted to grow stronger and become more prosperous, it would need a large number of talents.

Speaking of talent, selecting talent is also a top priority.

The anchor will play relevant videos later, and he can learn from the imperial examination system and the civil service system of later generations to formulate their own talent selection system for Da Qin.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the sky outside the hall. At this moment, the teaching video of the Three Character Sutra was playing on the sky screen.

Daqin, Xujiacun.

Xu Erniu is urging his son Doudou to learn the Three Character Classic and strive to become a scholar as soon as possible.

The Xu family is very different now. They are the newly promoted nobles of the Qin Dynasty.

He has already had the Xu family's mansion built in the county. Once the Xu family's mansion is completed, the family can move in and officially become a respectable noble.

In order for the Xu family's prosperity to continue, he placed all his hopes on his son Doudou.

He knew very well that if there were no scholars in his family to support his appearance, even the most prominent aristocrat would fall into decline.

He does not want his family to be a flash in the pan and only maintain prosperity and wealth for one generation.

He knew nothing about reading and literacy, but his son was very talented in learning, so he put the hope of shining on his son.

And he had a strong premonition that with his son's intelligence, as long as he followed Tianmu to study hard and become literate, he would be very likely to become an official in the court in the future.

After the Three Character Classic teaching video is played, the anchor will play the video on the imperial examination system.

He knew that the imperial examination system was the official selection system of later dynasties. As long as you passed the imperial examination, you could become an official.

He believed that after watching the video of the imperial examination system, His Majesty the First Emperor would definitely take action and implement the imperial examination system in Da Qin.

In this way, as long as the son studies hard and passes the imperial examination in the future, the son can also become an official in the court.

Once the son becomes a court official, the Xu family will have a solid foundation and will be able to establish a foothold in the Qin aristocratic class.

Thinking of this, he looked at his son who was studying with Tianmu not far away with hopeful eyes.

This was not only the case in the Qin Dynasty, but also in other dynasties.

The emperors of each dynasty were busy discussing matters related to mining of mineral deposits, ordinary people were busy with their work at hand, the ancients from each dynasty who had grabbed the world map began to take the next step, and the children of each dynasty were supervised by their parents. Study the Three Character Classic.

As soon as the learning video was played, the young eunuchs from each dynasty immediately told the emperor the news.

After receiving the notice, the emperors of various dynasties put down their political affairs and came outside the hall to watch the next video.

Especially the dynasties before the Sui and Tang Dynasties were particularly interested in the next video about the imperial examination system.

As for the dynasties that originally had imperial examinations, in addition to wanting to know about a more complete imperial examination system, they were also interested in the talent selection system of later generations.

Under the close attention of emperors of various dynasties, the videos they cared about finally arrived as scheduled.

[The ancient imperial examinations were divided into six levels: county examination, government examination, college examination, rural examination, general examination, and palace examination. The content of the examination was basically Confucian classics.

The county examination is a county-level examination, which is presided over by the county magistrate. It is generally held once a year, in February of each year.

Before applying for the exam, you need relatives, neighbors, and classmates to vouch for you. You can only participate if you have no stain. This can be understood as a political review. After passing the exam, you will become a child student.

The prefecture examination is a municipal examination, presided over by the prefect. It is usually held once a year in April every year. Children who pass the county examination take part in it. Those who pass the county examination are still called children.

The academy examination is a provincial examination, presided over by the academic administration of each province. It is usually held twice every three years. Children take the examination, and those who pass it are called scholars.

Scholars have a certain political status and can not kneel when they meet officials, do not do corvee, wear green shirts, etc.

Scholars belong to the gentry class. In ancient times, when imperial power did not go to the countryside, local management was largely managed by these people at the grassroots level. The rural examination is held in the provincial capitals of each province. The examiners in each province are appointed by the emperor. It is held every three years, usually in August, so it is called Qiuwei.

Scholars take the examination, and those who pass are called Juren. Juren have the basic conditions to be officials, so they are also called Juren Master.

However, since most of the officials are from Jinshi background, the status of juren among officials is relatively low. Generally, the fourth rank is the highest. Most of them are county deputy positions. Those with good political performance can be promoted to county magistrate.

The examination is held in the capital once every three years. The ginseng examination is conducted by each province. It is usually held in the spring, so it is also called Chunwei.

It is presided over by the Ministry of Rites. The emperor appoints the chief and deputy examiners, and then Hanlin bachelors serve as co-examiners. Candidates who pass the examination are called Gongshi.

The palace examination is attended by tributes, and the pass rate is basically 100%. Unless they cheat, commit adultery, etc., they are generally not eliminated. The palace examination is divided into three grades, namely first, second and third level.

There are three people in the first class. The first place is number one, the second place is second place, and the third place is third place.

The number of people in the second class and the third class is about the same, and the second class is given a Jinshi background. Sanjia was born with Jinshi. 】

Ying Zheng: There are six levels, one is passed one by one, and finally the emperor examines all candidates. This system is very good. I can learn from it and set up an imperial examination to select talents in Daqin.

He saw at a glance the rationality of the imperial examination system. County examinations, government examinations, hospital examinations, township examinations, joint examinations, and palace examinations were all level-by-level, just like being an official. Starting from the bottom and working your way up step by step. rise.

His Da Qin implemented a system of prefectures and counties, but there was no need to take the Level 6 exam. You could try the Level 5 exam.

Candidates passed the county examination to become Tongsheng, Tongsheng passed the county examination to become scholars, Xiucai passed the provincial examination to become Juren, Juren passed the general examination to become Gongshi, and finally Gongshi passed the palace examination to become Jinshi.

The Jinshi who were selected through many layers of research must be the most outstanding talents in Da Qin, and he could rest assured that these Jinshi would govern the country of Da Qin.

As for the Confucian teachings of the imperial examination, this was not practical and of little use to the Qin Dynasty. He did not want the officials of the Qin Dynasty to learn Confucian things.

Li Shimin: I didn’t expect that the imperial examination system would have developed so well in later dynasties. It was far from the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty. I can only vaguely see the shadow of the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty.

However, although he lamented that the imperial examination system had changed, he had to admit that this imperial examination system was much better than that of the Tang Dynasty.

If we follow the above-mentioned Level 6 exam, only one of them from Datang will be able to take the exam.

Candidates submit personal information to the county government, and after checking the information, the candidates are sent to Beijing to take part in the provincial examination held by Shangshu Province. The results will be released directly after the results are available.

Now, in comparison, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty was indeed too crude, and was far less standardized than the imperial examination system of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

However, one thing about their imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty was very good, that is, the examination content included classic meanings, poems, and policy discussions, which was far better than the simple Confucian classics and meanings.

Being an official does not depend on who has good Confucian classics. The most important thing is policy. Only policy can reveal the talent of the official.

[The civil service examination is divided into two types: the national civil service examination and the local civil service examination.

The National Civil Service Examination, referred to as the National Examination, is a nationwide examination organized by the central employment department. The examination time is generally concentrated in October.

The local civil service examination is referred to as the provincial examination. It is an examination held by the provincial employment departments within the province. The examination time is generally different in each province.

Examination process.

Publish recruitment announcements: The employing department proposes the positions, quotas and application qualifications for recruitment. After formulating the recruitment plan, it formulates recruitment announcements based on the recruitment work plan and releases them to the public.

Registration and qualification review: After understanding the announcement, candidates can choose one of the positions to register, submit relevant materials, and obtain the exam qualification after passing the review.

Examination: The content is divided into written examination and interview. The written examination includes public subjects and professional subjects. The written examination subjects are "Administrative Professional Ability Test" and "Application Essay".

Physical examination: Candidates who pass the interview need to undergo a physical examination in accordance with the requirements of the recruiting department.

Inspection: Candidates who pass the physical examination need to undergo a political examination, which mainly examines the candidate's political outlook, moral character, work ability, etc.

Public announcement: The list of qualified candidates will be publicized on the designated website.

Recruitment: Based on test scores, interview scores, physical examination scores and inspection results, the recruitment department determines the list of recruits. 】

Liu Che: I can understand the national civil service examination, but I don’t understand the local civil service examination. If we delegate the power of appointing officials to local governments, aren’t we afraid that local governments will become bigger?

He shook his head, somewhat unable to understand the operation of the civil service examination in later generations.

He has been committed to collecting local power and centralizing power to the central court to prevent excessive local power from restricting the central court.

But he really didn't understand this operation in later generations.

How come in later generations, not only is power not centralized, but the power to appoint the most important officials is delegated to local governments.

The local civil service examination is obviously not suitable for his situation as a big man, but he can learn from the national civil service examination.

The examination and promotion system currently implemented by their big men has obvious drawbacks, which seriously hinders the selection of talents, and is in urgent need of a brand-new talent selection system.

Nowadays, the emergence of the imperial examination system and the civil service system has allowed him to find a solution to the problem.

The imperial examination and the civil service examination each have their own advantages and disadvantages. As long as the advantages of the two can be combined, an official selection system suitable for the Han Dynasty can be formulated.

The content of the imperial examination is Confucian classics, which is not practical at all for governing the country.

Most of the officials selected through the imperial examination system were nerds who could only read the Four Classics and the Five Classics, but did not know how to manage national affairs at all.

However, the imperial examination system, with its level-by-level examinations from county examinations to palace examinations, is still worth learning from.

Compared with the imperial examination, the civil service examination has obvious advantages.

First, various departments of the imperial court publish job announcements, and then candidates choose a position to apply for based on the different requirements of each position.

In this way, because candidates choose the positions they are best at, they will be more suitable for the position after being successfully hired.

He thought carefully about it in his mind for a while, and soon came up with a rough plan for the Han talent selection system.

Similarly, according to the imperial examination system, there are first-level examinations, county examinations, government examinations, college examinations, and township examinations, and then the general examination is designated as the Han civil service examination. Those who pass the examination can take up the positions they applied for.

A small group of people with the best test scores will take the test in person to see if they meet his psychological expectations.

If the candidates' performance satisfies him, then these candidates in the palace examination will definitely receive key training from the imperial court.

After having an idea in his mind, he summoned his close friends to discuss the matter.
