Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Add new content?"

    Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren were slightly stunned when they heard this.

    Unexpectedly, Liu Jin¡¯s changes to the imperial examination were not only limited to some changes to Gongyuan, but also added new content.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!"

    "The talents who came out of the imperial examination are indeed talented, and there are also many capable ministers who can govern the country."

    "But now our Ming Dynasty is developing rapidly and changing with each passing day. All kinds of new technologies and new things are constantly emerging. The requirements for the court and officials are also constantly increasing."

    "Whether it is the imperial court or its officials, they should keep pace with the times and constantly increase their knowledge and abilities. Only in this way can they better adapt to the new era and govern the ever-changing Ming Empire."

    "In the past imperial examinations, a large number of officials we admitted were often very good at the Four Books and Five Classics, but they often knew very little about other aspects, including many common sense things."

    "But if you are an official and a pastor for the emperor, how can you govern well if you don't even know some common sense things?"

    ¡°For example, in the case of taxation, if an official does not even know basic arithmetic, does not know how to calculate area, does not know how to convert units of measurement, etc., how can he know whether the subordinates below are fooling themselves?¡±

    ¡°Another example is the rapid development of electric power. If an official doesn¡¯t know anything about electricity, how can he handle it correctly when a problem arises?¡±

    "So I believe that even the imperial examinations should add some corresponding content and knowledge to improve the requirements for officials and select outstanding talents who are talented and have a wide range of knowledge and cognition."

    "Only such talents can adapt to this era of rapid development, govern the prosperous Ming Empire well, and push the Ming Empire into a more prosperous future."

    Liu Jin said solemnly, expressing his thoughts and opinions.

    "Um!"

    When Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren heard this, they thought about it carefully and nodded slightly.

    ¡°These officials who have always been traditional may indeed be very talented. They can recite the fourth and fifth secretaries by heart, and they are very good at poetry, lyrics, and songs.

    ¡°However, when it comes to actually governing the country, these officials often show a mediocre performance and are unable to adapt to many new things.

    For example, the city of Ming Dynasty is developing extremely rapidly. It is obviously unrealistic to manage a big city just like before by drinking tea and reading newspapers.

    But these officials who passed the traditional imperial examination know relatively little in many aspects and are simply unable to make any good plans for the development of the city.

    Many times, you need to rely on powerful masters and assistants to effectively govern a party.

    ¡°If we just add new exam content, I¡¯m afraid scholars all over the world will object.¡±

    Wang Shouren thought for a while and said.

    "Opposition is inevitable, but everything has a development process. We are not trying to abolish their identity and status, but we have higher requirements for scholars. This is also because the times are changing the court and its officials.  There are higher requirements.¡±

    ¡°We must adapt to the development needs of the new era and adapt to the development rhythm of the new era.¡±

    Liu Jin nodded and continued.

    "Well said!"

    "The times are developing rapidly, and there are new requirements for me, the court, and the ministers of the court. In this era of rapid development, we must continue to make changes and adapt to the development of the new era.  .¡±

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately agreed very much.

    He himself served as a county magistrate, governor, and chief envoy, and he was in charge of a prosperous place in the capital city like Beizhili. In the process, Zhu Houzhao also encountered many problems.

    Many problems have never appeared in previous dynasties. If you want to do a good job, you definitely don't have to drink tea in the yamen.

    It is necessary to understand and know all aspects of each other in order to be able to adapt to the development needs of this era.

    "Liu Jin is right. It's time for these candidates to study and learn some basic common sense. They can't just study hard and study hard. They need to have a broader knowledge."

    "The matter has been settled like this, and we will find the principals and professors of major universities to jointly come up with some topics related to the new study."

    Zhu Houzhao nodded and made a decision directly.

      As for the opposition from ministers in the government, this does not seem to be a problem at all. Now that the government and the public are almost all officials of the practical side, and the officials of the old school have basically gone home to retire, who is still going to oppose this matter.

    ¡°Besides, this is not to completely change the foundation of the imperial examination, it is just to add new examination content.

    "If the test content of new studies is added, then the grading will not be easy to score, and the point system must be introduced like the new studies."

    Wang Shouren thought for a while and said.

    "That's exactly what I meant. The imperial examination will introduce a score system. All examination papers will be changed to scoring, and the ranking will be determined based on the score."

    "At the same time, I think the proportion of newly learned test scores is about 40%, which is more appropriate. The traditional Four Books and Five Classics exams account for 60%. Each one is scored separately, and finally multiplied by the proportions and added together to get the final score."

    Liu Jin nodded in agreement.

    "Forty percent?"

    "Is this ratio too high?"

    Wang Shouren thought for a while and said.

    "At the beginning, the proportion was indeed a bit higher. We have to proceed step by step. For this first time, I think it is more appropriate to account for about 30%."

    Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said.

    "What your Majesty said is reasonable, but I didn't think it through carefully."

    Liu Jin also said quickly.

    "Then based on the ratio of 30%, the traditional Four Books and Five Classics will be scored according to the total score of 100 points. The final score is multiplied by 0.7 to be the score of the traditional Four Books and Five Classics. The newly learned content will also be scored according to 100 points. Based on the knowledge points,  Questions, correct answers are scored, wrong answers are not scored, the final score is multiplied by 0, 3 is the final score of the newly learned question, and the two scores are added to the final score.¡±

    "The ranking will be determined based on the ranking of scores. In the end, the top 700 people will be selected first. The emperor will set the questions for the final palace examination and ultimately determine their ranking."

    "This method is very good!"

    "However, judging from the examination situation of Xinxue, the situation of having the same scores may be very serious, especially in the traditional examination scoring of the Four Books and Five Classics. It is possible that the examiners will basically give integers when scoring, which will also lead to many students with the same score.  Score situations arise.¡±

    Wang Shouren thought carefully and added.

    ¡°If there are equal scores, the examiner will re-score the examination paper in detail and finally decide the ranking.¡±

    Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

    This phenomenon is also very common. It happened every time in the previous imperial examinations. Everyone thought that several test papers were good, but there was only one quota, so they needed to be re-evaluated and let the examiner make the decision.

    "Haha, I'm already looking forward to this imperial examination."

    "I guess these readers will be dumbfounded by then. It introduces new content and uses a fractional system."

    Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when he thought about the next scene.

    When the news was announced, the students who came to the capital to take the exam were probably dumbfounded. This change is still big, but it is also the need of the times.

    The development of the Ming Dynasty requires officials who can adapt to the new era. The quality and quality of officials are required to be higher. They can no longer be the same as before. Those who rely on the Four Books and Five Classics can manage the Ming Dynasty well.

    It¡¯s not the past. In the past, an official who drank tea every day and slept in could be considered a good official, because there was no fish and meat village, so that was a good official.

    ¡¾To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.  ¡¿

    But now, the requirements of the times are higher. You need to understand all aspects of content and knowledge, so that you can truly govern a party well.

    The next morning at the meeting, Liu Jin formally proposed the reform of the imperial examination, which included some transformation of the Gongyuan and more humane and contemporary changes.

    This part of the proposal has been supported by many officials. Everyone thinks this is a good thing. Where did they all take the exam? They all know that the conditions in the examination room are really difficult. Now that some rectifications are being made, it is for the sake of scholars all over the world.

    But when Liu Jin proposed to add new exam content and implement a point system, many officials still stood up to oppose the matter.

    But in the end, with the support of Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and many ministers, the matter was passed.

    When it was time for a small meeting in the Chancery's study room, Zhu Houzhao also convened the ministers to discuss and discuss the matter in detail, and made many additions and improvements.

    The imperial examination is a major event, and nothing can go wrong, because it is related to the face of the court and the country's talent selection. Only by discussing and supplementing in detail can we do better.

    After detailed discussion and improvement, the content of the reform of the imperial examination was soon officially announced to the world through low reports and newspapers. For a while, the world was shocked and discussed one after another.
