Gu Naiwang had limited alcohol tolerance and could not resist everyone's drink. Not long after, the newly released Jinshi got drunk. The new Jinshi looked very embarrassed and fell directly under the table.

When everyone helped him up, they found that this man had fallen asleep and was sleeping soundly. There was a smile on his lips, and he muttered, "Bridal chamber - Flowers Night, Golden List - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Title - Everyone saw this man still reminiscing about the happiness of the dream of a Jinshi in his dream, and they all felt it interesting. Fatty Jia couldn't let the new Jinshi lie in the restaurant and sleep soundly, so he quickly arranged for his subordinates to send classmate Gu back to the dormitory.

After seeing off classmate Gu, everyone laughed and continued to chat while drinking.

Fatty Jia felt relaxed when he saw this classmate Gu who was ignorant of the charm. This Gu Jinshi was a bit old-fashioned and was pretty good today, but with him, the serious and serious style made the atmosphere a little bit dull. Fatty Jia smiled and said:

"Haha, I don't know how this ancient Jinshi's eight-legged essay is doing? Nowadays, thousands of juren have come to Nanjing to participate in the spring exam, and they can't win one in ten. It's a pity that these people have been studying hard for many years, but they are not as good as the Gu students' months of hard work. As I see below, I am afraid that the Military Engineering Academy will be squeezed out soon."

But Lu Shiping said:

"Brother Jia's words seem a bit exaggerated! In my hometown, I don't know that the Military Engineering College is recruiting students, but wealthy families will not send their children to the Military Engineering College. In our place, studying has become a trend, and most scholars point to the "golden list title" and pass the imperial examination and the top scorer. This is the dream that serious scholars are striving to pursue. Only scholars who are from poor families or have no hope of taking the imperial examination will apply to the Military Academy and Military Engineering College. After all, this dynasty's imperial examination is the scholars'

The way to become an official, outstanding, and glorious ancestors have been like this for many years. As for joining the army and those skillful and erotic skills of craftsmen, they can be said to be missing the foundation and the last one, and they can only be considered if they fail the imperial examinations. I don’t know what the emperor thought about after he made such a classmate like Gu as a Jinshi this time. Anyway, his two sons would not enter the Military Engineering Academy, or would continue to study the books of sages. As for whether they can pass the imperial examination, it depends on their luck."

Lu Shiping's words were exactly the same as the statement that he would never take a vocational and technical college in the future. Gu Yanwu heard Lu Shiping's words and said with a wry smile:

"Brother Lu said this, but I was honest. Alas! I had the idea of ​​having to be a high school Jinshi in my early years. Later, I failed the exam many times, so I could only helpless. Reading books of sages and writing eight-legged essays has a different role in governing the country and ensuring national stability. However, I was skeptical. Most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, who were above the eighth rank, were Jinshi, and they were also Juren. However, the administration became increasingly corrupt. The Ming Dynasty could not eliminate bandits and thieves inside or resist Tartars outside. So what's the use of these many Jinshi! On the other hand, the students of the Military Engineering Academy who were rewarded this time were either participating in the production of new firearms or participating in the construction of new warships, and repelling Japanese pirates and regaining Taiwan. They made great contributions. In my opinion, this is much better than talking about the way of sages."

Jiang Shangyun and Gu Yanwu traveled all over the country, met all kinds of officials and experienced all kinds of darkness in the officialdom, so he curled his lips and said:

"It makes sense for Brother Gu to be very big. The little girl once went to many places with Brother Gu. The officials along the way were all scholars who read books of sages, either Jinshi or Juren, so what? They read books of sages and do corrupt officials. Haha! Being an official thousands of miles is just for money, and this is no good. If you become an official, you have to make money. It is rare for honest officials to be a sage! It is simply a great irony to the sages!"

The corruption in the officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty was at its peak, which was definitely not something Zhu Yuanzhang could have expected. Zhu Yuanzhang severely punished corrupt officials and "skinned" against corrupt officials who embezzled more than 60 taels of silver. In the Hongwu period, corruption was finally curbed, and the officialdom was still called honest. However, the more the future, the trend of corruption became more and more intense. The better the work of Jinxiuwen was, perhaps the more greedy methods were played. The anti-corruption method in the early Ming Dynasty was harsh, but the devil was one foot higher and one foot higher. You had Zhang Liang's plan, and I had a ladder. Those who could break through the imperial examinations were all talented people with outstanding IQ. No matter how strict the system of Ming Dynasty prevented corruption was, these elites could always find loopholes in the system, and various unspoken rules emerged. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not not fight corruption, but the result was that the more they fought, the more they became corruption.

Zhu Tongyi was also a very angry young man at that time. After drinking, he also criticized the corruption of the administration:

"I read the books of sages and follow the path of corruption! If the administration was not so corrupt, I wouldn't have thieves arisen, and the Ming Dynasty would not have had only half of the country. Speaking of the imperial examinations, it was originally the selection of talented talents from all over the world. I don't want these talented people who read the books of sages to be frivolous and only care about getting promoted and making money. Haha! Only the children of the royal family don't have this opportunity. But I don't want to be promoted and make money, not being a Jinshi or not being an official, but just want to contribute to the country. Now I finally have a chance. I just want to be worthy of my conscience and my ancestors!"

Zhu Shugui nodded and said:

"It is true that if the clans of the royal family have the opportunity today, they should do their best to serve the emperor. According to my opinion, the Military Engineering Academy is all practical theory that is practical. What the Ming Dynasty needs today is practical talents. The clans of the royal family do not need the imperial examination. I think it is most suitable to study in the Military Engineering Academy."

This time, all kinds of constraints of the clan's children were released, and there were military academies and military engineering academies. It can be said that one of the biggest beneficiaries of this reform was the clan's children. Of course, some people were happy and some were worried. This time, the clan's children were happy and the imperial examination was worried.

Zhu Zhongyun often walked around Zhu Zhongmei and heard a lot of insider information. At this time, she drank two glasses, her face flushed, and she said mysteriously:

"I heard that the cabinet is discussing a plan, that is, after completing two years of study, students in the Military Engineering Academy can obtain scholars, that is, students' qualifications; after completing four years of study, they can obtain Juren's qualifications, but this Juren is called Science and Engineering Institutional Juren. I heard that they will pass immediately."

Fatty Jia likes these gossips the most and joins in the fun now:

"I heard that there is another advantage for students from the Military Engineering Academy. It is said that after four years of graduation, the court promised to arrange employment and the salary was not lower than that of the county magistrate. However, this plan was very controversial in the court. If it was passed, the Military Engineering Academy would be really going to make a breakthrough."

Zhu Shugui was a little surprised when he heard this and questioned:

"Even if you pass the Jinshi, you won't be an official immediately. I'm afraid this package of employment is unrealistic, right?"

Zhu Tongyi smiled and said:

"Uncle Gui doesn't know that Director Wang has too many projects and lacks people everywhere, so girls have all been brought into the project team. Student Jiang and Zhu are examples. The gap in the future is even bigger. Students from the Military Engineering College will be assigned to a project team before they graduate, so there is definitely no problem with the graduation package. Unfortunately, Director Wang should not be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise he can recruit one million of these talents at will."

Gu Yanwu smiled and said:

"Those sour scholars who only know how to read the Four Books and Five Classics know nothing except the eight-part essays of sages. What's the use of them?"

－－－－－－－

Chongzhen really did not dare to act rashly about the imperial examination reform. This involved the vital interests of millions of scholars, and it could not discourage the hearts of all scholars in the world.

Wang Chengen firmly believes that the market economy is omnipotent. His plan is very simple, just to separate diplomas and employment. To put it simply, just like later generations, separate degree exams and civil servant exams. Obtaining a diploma does not include employment, let alone civil servants. It’s that simple!

However, Chongzhen felt that Rome was not built in one day. From a planned economy to a market economy, it is hard to imagine the sequelae of excessive reforms. The same is true for education and human resources, and it is better to transition from planning to market. So Chongzhen remembered the price dual-track system in the 1980s, and he planned with the princess, and proposed a dual-track program for diploma dual-track system.

There are two core points of this plan. The first is to only increase the amount of diplomas, not reduce, but only increase. That is, the original imperial examination system operates as usual, and only increases the science and engineering diplomas of the Military Engineering Academy. Juren and Jinshi from the imperial examination system can be awarded official positions as usual (but not forbidden), and this will not be so great.

The second is to obtain a diploma in science and engineering and can be assigned. This is a must-have trick and can invisibly attract countless scholars.

As for when to achieve "full circulation" of talents, we have to wait for the right time, anyway, it's not now.
