"Imperial examinations?"
The moment this matter was brought up, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Then, everyone had a look of understanding on their faces.
Whether they had experienced the imperial examinations or not, they all knew the benefits of the imperial examinations. In the Sutras Depository, there were many books related to the imperial examinations. Although the imperial examinations might pick out some bookworms, there was no doubt that the imperial examinations would also pick out the real top talents. Moreover, the imperial examinations that Yi Tianxing wanted were not only to pick out bookworms, but also to pick out the real talents.
It was not just a test of literary talent.
The courtiers in the hall all showed signs of agreement.
"The imperial examinations must be carried out. Once we choose to expand, the reserve of talents must be in place as soon as possible. This is the most important point. I agree with this point. However, how to carry out the imperial examinations and what exactly they will be tested on needs to be discussed in detail. "
Huang Chengyan opened his mouth and said, "In the Sutra Depository, I have also learned about the various matters of the Imperial Examination. The normal Imperial Examination tests the Four Books and Five Classics, the classics of sages and sages. Perhaps there are theories on how to govern the world, but no matter how many times it is said, it is still just the imagination of a scholar. His words are empty and his writing is spring and autumn. History has proven that this kind of Imperial Examination has its drawbacks. It is different from my Da Yi's emphasis on practical ability. "
According to what was known in history. These successful scholars who passed the imperial examinations would soon be able to govern a region. In the beginning, when they were dealing with government affairs, without any experience, they would often cause chaos in the region they governed. This was because these people, in the past, only knew how to pay attention to the outside world and only read the books of sages. All the principles in their hearts were derived from the books.
Not to mention that they were usually powerless, they might not even be able to distinguish the five grains in front of them. They knew very little about the affairs of the people's livelihood. If there were no problems when such people governed a region, it was simply a handful. It was very rare. Many officials who passed the imperial examinations, after entering the officialdom, ended up on the path of greed and corruption because of the difficulties of political affairs. This caused complete chaos in the region.
Although this kind of thing could not be said to be absolute, it could not be separated from the fact that they did not understand the people's livelihood.
In the Da Yi Dynasty, the immortal cities were used to dominate the wilderness. There were many foreign tribes, ferocious beasts, and all kinds of monsters in the wilderness. If such an immortal city was handed over to some so-called 'talents' who knew nothing about politics, there would definitely be big problems. This was not an era of peace, but a time of real chaos. Every day, they would face all kinds of dangers.
Therefore, Huang Chengyan was still a little hesitant about the normal method of selecting talents based on literary talent.
"There are pros and cons to the imperial examinations, but you have to look at both sides. There must be a reason why the imperial examination system could survive and even continue to exist in the various dynasties. Only a talented and learned person can understand reason. Only then can the government decree be painful. It's like a double-edged sword. It can kill your enemies, but it can also hurt you. You can't not use it just because it might hurt you. That's obviously wrong. "
Jia Xu said with a smile.
Everything had two sides, and it depended on how one weighed the pros and cons.
And this was exactly what Da Yi needed to do.
In the great hall, the others also expressed their opinions. Some agreed, and some expressed their concerns. But they all showed an approving attitude towards the imperial examinations. In many people's hearts, the imperial examinations were still deeply rooted in their hearts, just like the college entrance examination in the future. It was treated as an important matter by the entire society. During the college entrance examination, everything had to give way to the exam.
Yi Tianxing sat on the throne, quietly listening to the opinions of the officials in the great hall. As a leader, he only needed to give his opinion on a certain matter, and the rest could be left to the other officials to do and perfect. However, it was also a necessary process to brainstorm.
When everyone was almost done, Yi Tianxing nodded and said, "My dear officials, very well said. However, since I have decided to hold the imperial examinations, I have considered these matters seriously. I have decided to split the imperial examinations into two parts. One is talent, which is the normal way of the imperial examinations. For the first time, there will be no entry requirements. Anyone who is willing to participate can enter the examination hall. However, this time, it will not only test one's knowledge of classical policy, but also practice. In practice, it will involve the people's livelihood, governance, law, criminal law, military affairs, etiquette, and many other subjects. Each subject will be specially evaluated and awarded points. This will ensure that the talents selected from the imperial examinations will be truly talented. They will not be bookworms who only know how to read. The written examination is only the first part of the examination. The percentage of points awarded will not be high. "
Yi Tianxing had already come to a conclusion on this matter.
In today's Da Yi, he would never allow the emergence of a vermin who only knew how to talk. That wasn't talent, it was an insult to talent. This time, he had exchanged for an extremely valuable treasure in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. It would also be of great help to the imperial examinations.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Huang Chengyan and the others heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on their faces.
They could sense that this imperial examinations would not be simple. It might even be the final test for the advancement of Da Yi. The imperial examinations would also test the people's livelihood, governance, law, military strategy, and many other talents. This was definitely one in a million, and it was conducted to select the true talents. This was something that had never happened before. Now, they were all looking forward to how these tests would be carried out.
How would they be able to do it? This was something that they could not help but want to know.
However, Yi Tianxing had no intention of revealing it now.
Regarding this, as subjects, they couldn't directly interrogate him. This was clearly something that couldn't be done.
"One more thing. I think that Da Yi needs to expand its army and recruit more soldiers."
At this moment, Wu Yong also stepped forward and said.
"Oh, go on."
When Yi Tian Xing heard this, he gave a noncommittal response.
"Now, the Great Wall of Iron and Blood of Da Yi has completely materialized into a huge city wall that protects the entire Da Yi territory. Since it's a city wall, it naturally needs an army to guard it. Such a huge city wall naturally needs more soldiers than ordinary people can imagine. With our current military strength, it is not enough to guard every section of the city wall perfectly. This will definitely become a huge hidden danger in the future. "
Wu Yong suggested.
In the past, most of the Great Wall of Iron and Blood was illusory. Although it had a certain ability to stop the alien races, it was different from the current one that had completely transformed into a solid body. The Great Wall of Iron and Blood was very powerful. It had a strong resistance against the alien races, especially those who had bad intentions. However, the problem was that without an army to guard it, it was just an empty shell.
If they wanted to guard it, the number of soldiers needed would be a huge problem. This was not a small number.
Moreover, it was unlikely that a single army could be responsible for it. In fact, a single army could not even be responsible for everything.
The scope was too huge. A army of 200,000 soldiers would only be the tip of the iceberg.
"There is no need to recruit soldiers. Moreover, from today onwards, our Great Yi will not need to recruit soldiers from the commoners for a very long time. All of this will naturally become clear to everyone after a while. At that time, all of you will know exactly how powerful our Great Yi is."
Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
Since the Great Wall of Iron and Blood had materialized, it was natural that he would need a huge source of soldiers in the future. What was a source of soldiers? In the past, this would probably cause a huge disturbance. It was not that he could not recruit soldiers, but that there were too many soldiers to accept. But now, he did not need to. He had a better choice.
"Yes!!"
When Wu Yong heard this, although he was very confused, he still respectfully agreed.
He thought it was a chance to show off, but now it seemed that he had already prepared for it.
"Mao Sui greets Your Highness."
At this moment, another voice was heard.
Mao Sui, who had been on a mission to various alien tribes a long time ago, had returned. At this moment, he walked out as well.
"Mr. Mao's safe return this time is truly a joyous occasion. During this period of time, the surrounding alien tribes did not cause too much damage or invasion to the human race. Mr. Mao's contribution is indelible. Mr. Mao will have a share of this great contribution. Moreover, it is time to set an official position for Mr. Mao, so that he can enjoy the fortune of Da Yi. His true spirit will enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace and receive the attention and worship of hundreds of millions of people. "
When Yi Tianxing saw Mao Sui, a hint of joy appeared in his heart.
When Da Yi founded the country, Mao Sui was still traveling among the alien tribes. With his silver tongue, he sought a peaceful and safe environment for the people of Da Yi.
Even in the past few months, when Da Yi's elite army went to the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, they did not pose a threat to the human encampments. This was also closely related to Mao Sui's efforts.
Naturally, his contribution was great.
Now that the Great Wall of Iron and Blood covered Da Yi's territory, to a certain extent, the threat of the alien tribes was suppressed to a certain extent. Mao Sui's contribution could not be erased.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
A hint of joy appeared on Mao Sui's face.
Back then, he had recommended himself because he wanted to show off his talents and ambitions. Of course, to become a senior member of Da Yi and stand out was also his original intention. Everyone in the world came for benefits, and everyone in the world often went for benefits. Benefits were the most fundamental connection.
"This time, I also brought a piece of news. Among the many alien tribes I contacted, many are very fond of the various goods of Da Yi, and are eager to open a trade market. By exchanging what they need, we will have a closer relationship. Of course, the tribes that open the trade market are those that have good intentions towards the human race. "
