A person with keen IQ has realized that Liu Bei had a "Jueying Meeting" with Fa Zheng during a banquet for the ministers. He must have Fa Zheng help him do the dirty work he had done later.

Their IQ was indeed not misjudged. After the five-day banquet and amnesty ended, on the sixth day of the seventh month, the second formal dynasty meeting of Liu Bei on the fifth day after he ascended the throne, a very important issue of reform was formally raised.

Smart people vaguely feel that this reform issue will definitely usher in a major reshuffle. I wonder how many families who are good at riding on the bike can rise, and how many wealthy players who miss out on the opportunity will become outdated Yunyan.

Early this morning, after the court meeting had completed the inventory of the regular topics, Situ Zhong Yao took the lead and asked the emperor for a report:

"Your Majesty, since Huan Ling, the system of selecting officials in the world has been deteriorating. Those who are not fond of favoritism, bribery and flattery are not allowed to become officials. During the reign of Emperor Ling, they even openly sold official positions and titles. The beginning of the chaos in the world all originated from this.

Later, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others followed one after another, kidnapped the Han Emperor and brutal creatures. When the imperial court was in decline, they engraved the seal and the dog tail as ribbon, and the officials were granted the ultimate freedom. As a result, the rotten wood on the temple was the official, and the beasts between the palace were the food and the food was the salary.

Now there are two thieves in Yuan. The brothers successively robbed the Han Dynasty and held puppet emperors, pretending to use the law of the ninth rank official to eliminate the bad government of selecting officials. They are in charge of the carriage, gold, jade, and power of goods. They are crazy people who deceive the world and steal reputation, steal the tripod, and overturn the heavy weapons. Although they are called Yuan Ni, they are just ministers and ministers who are appointed as officials.

Now Your Majesty is the sacred and sacred martial arts, clearing the Western Xia, removing the filth and cleaning the universe. Since you are in a state of great power, you should take advantage of this atmosphere to eliminate the bad policies for more than 40 years, so that the ancestors' laws can be preserved and eliminated.

Moreover, since Emperor Ling, the learning learned by scholars in the world is very different from the previous dynasties. Dong Zhongshu, the evil sayings of heaven and man, often misinterpreted Confucius and Mencius' original intentions, and many of them were dismissed during the previous dynasties. When the former emperor was investigated, they would no longer be able to adapt to the current situation.

Nowadays, those who are concerned about the abolition of Dong Ni have changed their studies of Li Sikong, and those who are concerned about the calendar have changed their studies of Zhuge Changshi. I ask Your Majesty to rectify and investigate the old laws, keep pace with the times, adapt to the changes in the times, follow the patriots in the country, and resolve the upside down of the people in the world."

The first one to raise the topic was Zhong Yao, not Li Su. This was also to make the program less criticized.

What Zhong Yao said is mostly aimed at the motivation for reform and does not involve specific operational directions, so as to give priority to solving the problem of "willing the name be unrighteous and the words are not smooth".

According to the division of labor among the three public officials, Sikong is more in charge of finance, taxation, industry and commerce, that is, the Ministry of Revenue, Finance, and Works of the Nine Departments in the future. Situ is in charge of personnel and justice, corresponding to the Ministry of Justice, Culture, and Envoy Departments in the future.

Liu Bei asked Li Su to be Sikong, because his father-in-law Cai Yong had been with Sikong in Liu Xie. Secondly, Li Su was good at managing infrastructure construction and farming. He did the tax system reforms before, so he had the level of "renting, mediocre, transfer and export" method today.

Now the reforms on money and taxes have basically come to an end. The highlight of the latter is the reforms on people and officials, and Situ should be the subject of it. Who made Li Su not the prime minister who is in charge of both people and money? If someone decentralizes power, he has to act.

In a few years, when his name is over thirty years old, he will make some great achievements such as destroying a certain prince. And Zhong Yao will be old by then, at least in his fifties. If Li Su is promoted to become Zhong Yao and Xun You's direct leader, there will be no trouble.

(Note: Li Su is now a nominal age of 28 and 29. In fact, because he falsely claimed three years old when he debuted, he was a year old and 25 years old and 26 years old.)

After Zhong Yao finished speaking, the civil servants in the court were silent and watched for two seconds briefly. Liu Bei asked in person: "This matter is very important, can the three ministers discuss together? What does Sikong think?"

Li Su took the Hetian jade tablet and took it out: "What Zhong Situ said is very good, I will discuss it."

All the officials then expressed their opinions: "I will discuss with you."

Liu Bei: "Since this is the case, I wrote the reform of the three ministers' collection of subjects, system and assessment content. Taichangqing, Tingwei and the Secretary of the Shangshu Department's sub-divisions."

Afterwards, Li Su, Zhong Yao, Xun You took Guan Ning and Fa Zheng and others to discuss in groups in a group, and soon after, a framework was given on the spot in the court.

Today's discussion mainly discusses how to set up the subjects for future examinations and how to reform the examination content. As for the specific examination methods and how to prevent cheating, these are discussed behind closed doors after the dynasty meeting, and there is no need to let all officials know about it.

This also minimizes the problems and reduces the possible conflicts, and improves the efficiency of deliberation.

The group discussed in public for half an hour, and reported to Liu Bei's saints several times, and finally decided that the court in the future should have a permanent six subjects of filial piety, talent, wise law, virtuous, knowledgeable military, and wise calculation. Among them, those who have many scholars took one exam every year, and those who have the least scholars took one exam every three years—

In fact, in the debate just now, the biggest controversy point was whether to retain the subject of "filial piety and integrity". Of course, Liu Bei and Li Su wanted to only be talented and not take moral tests from now on. This is more in line with the needs of troubled times.

But after all, the influence of Xiaolian and Liankuo is too great. Even though Li Su privately communicated with Zhong Yao and Xun You before the court meeting and settled other senior officials, many people below jumped out and begged the emperor to consider retaining it.

Moreover, many of these people are not bad people, they are indeed considering the court, and many of them are also loyal ministers.

Li Su thought about it for a while and finally realized that in history, Cao Cao could occasionally "only talent is to make orders" as a case, but that was not a century-old law, but a temporary measure, so the opposition was not so fierce.

However, as a permanent reform of the permanent official selection system, it is indeed difficult to convince the public without considering morality in name. Moreover, Liu Bei himself abandoned his official position and went home to recruit local brave men and challenge Zhang Chun. He was appointed by Liu Yu as a filial and honest person. He easily attracted suspicion from the world about Liu Bei's character when he was Emperor Ling.

So Li Su finally made a temporary decision: Keep filial piety and integrity, but it is only nominal. Even if you still take filial piety and integrity in the future, it is not about your moral show, but mainly for the written test! You need to take the solid level of classics, if you don’t have enough knowledge, you can only show off and still have to continue!

This will prevent the people from making crazy shows, making various fancy fame and pursuing the Twenty-Four Filial Piety, and even the craving of a grand funeral will become more and more serious damage to national strength and lead to a large loss of wealth.

Of course, because Li Su plans to change the recommendation system to two levels: local candidates and central assessment, he can still consider morality a little when he is a local candidate. Bad people who are obviously guilty of morality and bad deeds can be screened out first.

As long as people with generally good character and no bad record are pushed up, they will focus on taking the classics at this stage of the central government. In this way, moral control can ensure that the candidate is not a dangerous product, and it will only rely on learning to be able to use it in the end.

The selection criteria of "unkindness and unfiliality but talented" can only be a temporary solution after all and cannot become a method for a lifetime.

At this point, the last bitter advice from Taichang Qing Guan Ning really moved Liu Bei:

Troubled times cannot last forever, so reform cannot be the most favorable expedient measure for the moment. Those expedient measures can only appear in the form of teachings, but not in the form of laws.

In the pre-Qin period, Shang Yang's method of rewarding farming and war was beneficial to the remaining harthrs of the Qin six generations and the stage of attacking the six kingdoms, but after unifying the world, it became a bad policy that could not be eliminated. Therefore, the division between reform and teachings must be clear.

After the monarch and ministers agree on the subject of the candidates, the rest is what to do in these six subjects, which officials can be used as well as what contents to be taken at the same time.

According to the design agreed by Li Su and Zhong Yao, filial piety and integrity are the most basic subjects. After passing the exam, they can only be candidates and have no actual powers. The subsequent decision depends on the performance of the internship period before they can decide to grant specific official positions.

However, filial piety is different from the other five subjects. That is, after taking filial piety, you will still retain the right to apply for other subjects in the future (you must also be elected by the local government and occupy another candidate for the corresponding subject).

As long as you do well in the exam, you can still transfer to other five subjects.

Because filial piety and integrity are the foundation, filial piety and integrity still take the Confucian classics. However, in order to increase the scope of the examination, Li Su also added the "Four Books" of the imperial examinations in later generations. Anyway, he was not afraid that the scope of the examination would be too wide, and the poor could not afford enough books and could not read such a wide range of knowledge.

Li Su’s requirements for the current imperial examination are to truly select talents, choose the most active and knowledgeable talents, and do not pursue the use of this to distribute interests to constrain people’s hearts, so he does not pursue “short examination scope so that everyone can be pure and read a few books thoroughly.”

In terms of judging the test scores, in order to reduce people's cognitive costs, Li Su still adopted a ten-stage scoring method, and judged the test results of each candidate to zero to nine points. This is the same as the method of the ninth-rank official next door.

Li Su is very realistic and will not object to it just for the sake of opposition.

The ninth-rank official method that Yuan Shao took from Chen Qun had disadvantages, but is there no problem with the ninth-level scoring method of "upper, upper, middle, lower, lower"? Some of them can be used without any psychological barriers.

Later officials also went from first to ninth rank, which could correspond to the rank stone ratings of the Han Dynasty. Li Su also followed this to reduce the understanding cost of scholars all over the world.

The classics that filial piety and integrity need to be taken, and the students of the other five subjects must also be taken, but they have several other professional courses.

Maocai has the highest requirements. After the exam is completed, he can become a generalist official, and he can be an official in any field. Therefore, he must take the government policy theory, military strategy deduction, criminal law, academic qualifications, and finally calculate the total score of the five subjects is forty-five. All candidates who participate in Maocai will finally get the highest total score.

A virtuous person must take the government policy theory, and also take the exam for a subject of various scholars, that is, philosophy. After the exam, you can only be a civil affairs officer or an academic officer, with a total score of twenty-seven.

The Ming law requires examining the name of criminal law and law, and also examining a "Han Fei", which is mainly about legislative thinking. After the exam, you can be a judicial officer or supervisor, and the total score is 27.

Among them, the "Han Fei" does not directly take the works of ancient people, but requires Li Su, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng to make the comments as the examination textbook to prevent candidates from absorbing the poison of the "skill" part of Han Fei's "spellent power", and the content of the "science" must also be deleted and not tested.

To know the military, you must take the military strategy and strategy, and to take the exam for a cavalry and shooting martial arts, you can be a general and an officer of the Ministry of War, with a total score of 27.

To calculate the academic qualifications, and to take the exam for a physics course, you can take on the Ministry of Works, be an official, including a salt and iron official, and also be a money and grain official in the Ministry of Finance, with a total score of 27.

After these six subjects were established, the scattered and unconstant items that had been held for the past four hundred years of the Han Dynasty were completely abolished.

"Ming Law", "Knowing the Soldier" and "Virtual" were originally available, but Li Su changed the examination content and "Ming Jing" were absorbed.
