After Wang Qi returned to the palace to handle government affairs, six ministers came together.
The six ministers are important ministers in the court.
According to the rules of the Zhou Dynasty, three provinces must be established, but Wang Qi skipped this step and did not establish three provinces for the time being. The six ministers were directly responsible to the emperor, weakening the existence of the power of the prime minister.
Wang Qi looked at Zhu Shanchang, Zhuge Feng, Zhou Zishan and others, and said: "Tell me, what are you doing here? On weekdays, you six ministers are busy on your own. Now, they all came in a swarm, but it is rare. ah!"
Zhu Shanchang was the head of the six ministers. He took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I am here today. Firstly, I want to congratulate Your Majesty. Secondly, it is the birth of the emperor's eldest son, and the court should also appoint a prince. It just so happens that the queen gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and he is also the legitimate son. If the eldest son is appointed as the crown prince, it is a sign of obedience to heaven. Just after the founding of Qi State, we have a crown prince. This is God's blessing."
Zhuge Feng said: "Your Majesty, I second this proposal."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Everyone spoke one after another, and they all agreed. After all, if there is a prince in the court, everything will go smoothly. When the prince grows up a little, he can select a tutor and a bachelor from the East Palace to teach the prince.
These are all things that need to be arranged.
Wang Qi nodded and said: "The matter of appointing a prince will be drafted by the Ministry of Rites and promulgated to the world. In addition, when the State of Qi is established and the prince is born, the world can be granted amnesty and a group of criminals who can be pardoned will be pardoned."
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Zishan said at this time: "Your Majesty, I still have something to report."
Wang Qidao: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Zishan said: "The thing I want to report is that now that the Qi State has been established and unified, I propose to open the imperial examination. I have been preparing for the imperial examination before, and I have mature ideas on all things. Now, it is just right to start The imperial examination selects talents and enriches them all over the world to benefit the people."
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. What is the imperial examination?
Only Wang Qi and Zhou Zishan knew about the imperial examination, and the rest did not.
Wang Qi smiled and said: "Zhou Shangshu, let me tell you about the imperial examination. Let's all discuss this matter."
"yes!"
Zhou Zishan answered immediately.
He glanced at everyone present and said slowly: "Everyone, the so-called imperial examination is a unified assessment and selection of talents by the imperial court. As long as the scholars of the Qi State are from a poor family or a noble family, they will Everyone can participate.¡±
"This is a unified imperial examination."
"This is the first year of the examination to obtain scholars. Relatively speaking, it is a bit hasty and inexperienced, so this time we are announcing to the world that the imperial court will set up an examination center in Chang'an to conduct public assessment and selection."
"Anyone who is willing to participate, regardless of wealth or poverty, can come."
"The selected people will be assigned official positions by the imperial court, either at the local level or in the central government. Starting from the second year, the assessment will be further refined and selection will begin at the state level."
¡°In the third year, we will start from the county level, and even end up at the county level.¡±
"The final goal is to select from the county level, step by step, and finally gather in Chang'an for the examination. This is the special imperial examination. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for the imperial examination, and separate candidates are specially arranged."
Zhou Zishan said: "The local officials did not interfere or get involved in the entire assessment process. They just assisted the officials of the Ministry of Rites to complete it."
Hiss! !
When everyone heard this, they all took a deep breath.
This matter is of great importance.
It¡¯s not a small thing.
Everyone present is a far-sighted person. After thinking about it in their hearts, they generally understood the advantages and disadvantages. This will inevitably further attack aristocratic families and privileged people.
After all, officials in the past had a lot of maneuverability by promoting filial piety and integrity, recruiting new officials, etc.
The imperial examination is different.
Everyone was thinking about it for the time being and did not make a decisive statement immediately.
Wang Qi did not rush and said, "The imperial examination has to be arranged. Let's talk about it. What do you think about the imperial examination?"
Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, the launch of the imperial examination is something that will benefit the present and the future. According to this strategy, countless talents from poor families in the world will definitely be enthusiastic."??
After Du Can entered, he stood still and said: "Your Majesty, Du Can, pays homage to your Majesty."
Wang Qi nodded and said: "Du Can, I invite you here today to promote the construction of academies in various places and to teach children to read. This matter must be promoted nationwide. Even every township below the county must We need to have academies to ensure that children can read, start reading from childhood, and learn a little bit about illiteracy, so that everyone must be literate. Can you accomplish this?"
After Du Can heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "My lord, I promise to complete the task."
This is a big deal.
If it can be completed and promoted, it will be a ground-breaking event, and even the Imperial Academy's wine sacrifice will be famous for generations. After all, such a thing will benefit thousands of families.
After Du Can said that, he said: "Your Majesty, I have another worry."
Wang Qidao: "Say!"
Du Can said in a deep voice: "First, it involves educating all local children and persuading them to study. These things are nothing more than that. After all, they can be arranged."
¡°It¡¯s just that when it comes to local areas, we need to build schools and find teachers to preach and teach. These are not simple things that can be accomplished. It requires considerable money to arrange them properly.¡±
¡°If we don¡¯t have enough money, we can¡¯t advance at all!¡±
"After all, the people in the local area have just enough food and clothing, so many people may not be willing to study. Furthermore, the local area may not have the money to support the education of children."
Du Can said: "Financial problems are not trivial matters."
Cui Dongshan took the words and said: "This is the task of each state, county, and county. Wherever it is not completed well, then accountability will be held. If the task is suppressed, there will naturally be a solution."
"When it comes to money, etc., it's all shirk. Don't give loose conditions, because now that it's lax, it's easy to shirk, just implement it directly."
"The State of Qi has been established for many years, but the consensus has not been implemented. Although there is a Nanyang Academy, it is only this one, and many other places have not been well established at all."
¡°Now, it¡¯s just a matter of direct arrangement.¡±
Cui Dongshan said: "Your Majesty, this is the old minister's suggestion. Arrange it, don't delay, just implement the order. Anyway, if you can't do it well, then remove it. It's very simple."
Du Can heard this with great excitement.
It is indeed Cui Dongshan.
How domineering!
"As expected of your Majesty's teacher, I really dare to say it. Moreover, if these words are spread, I am afraid that countless people in the world will scold Cui Dongshan behind his back."
Because it is not easy to suppress this order.
Wang Qi nodded and said: "Du Can, just follow what the teacher said, but for the specific arrangements, you must carefully draw up the terms, and then the six ministers will discuss it and arrange this matter. It cannot be an order without implementation details. Furthermore, if we want to advance, we must advance step by step, from the state level, to the county level, and then to the county level, step by step.¡±
"yes!"
Du Can nodded and agreed.
Cui Dongshan showed a smile on his face and said: "Du Jijiu, if you need any help, you can ask me. Although this matter belongs to the Imperial College, everyone is responsible."
Du Can said gratefully: "Thank you Cui Shangshu!"
The two of them took the initiative to say goodbye.
Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the imperial examination and academy affairs were all arranged at the moment. However, neither of these two things can be accomplished easily, because literacy cannot be accomplished in a short time. It takes generations to complete slowly.
In addition, the education of academies should also adjust and change a little bit with the adjustment of the national strength.
Wang Qi put away his thoughts and continued to deal with government affairs.
¡°Nowadays, the whole country is in a game of chess, and there are too many things to deal with. While Wang Qi was handling government affairs, a eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Yannian is asking for an audience."
Li Yannian is now working in the Ministry of Personnel, serving as a member of the Ministry of Personnel, a sixth-grade official. In the Ministry of Personnel, although the official position is not high, the official position of the Ministry of Personnel is also an official position with real power and can train oneself.
Wang Qi ordered: "Pass it!"
The eunuch went to deliver the order. Not long after, Li Yannian hurried in. He stood still and said: "Your Majesty, Li Yannian, pays homage to your Majesty." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
