Chapter 547 Crazy game of bargaining

Of course, major events like the imperial examination reform cannot be discussed in one day.

So on the first day, I just roughly defined the six subject categories and examination scopes to be set. The important officials in the court reached a general consensus, and at least the remaining ones would have to discuss behind closed doors and a few rounds.

After the dynasty meeting on the sixth day of the September 19th, the senior officials in Chang'an rarely participated in intensive discussions in the following four days, passing the draft ideas that Li Su had thought of in advance one by one, and put forward many valuable opinions in the process.

Li Su also accepted it humbly and found that if it is really necessary and can make up for the shortcomings of the previous draft and there are loopholes, it should be adopted.

For example, Situ, Taichang, and officials of Shangshu Licao all mentioned the issue of "officials who passed the other four professional courses will be transferred across industries in the future."

Li Su's previous setting in this aspect was relatively rough, mainly because the administrative experience that could be learned from this aspect in history was also lacking, and it was difficult for Li Su to copy the answers.

In later generations, there were only many subjects in the Tang Dynasty, which led to the situation of "thirty-year-old Ming Jing and fifty-year-old Jinshi". However, Li Su did not know how the Tang Dynasty exchanged the job system after officials of various subjects entered the officialdom in history.

By the Song Dynasty, it was basically the only one in the Jinshi class, and other subjects were in decline. Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, there was basically no other option for you to take the exam except Jinshi.

Zhong Yao, Guan Ning, Fazheng's reminder made Li Su realize that no matter how good the initial system for selecting students in the current subject, as long as the full range of officials' job exchange systems are not established, it will eventually lead to the abandonment of other subjects, and only one of them will be the only one in the future after hundreds of years.

Those who want to be an official, after a century of evolution in history and learn from experience and lessons, will definitely pursue profit-seeking and summarize a path of "what to learn is the most cost-effective", and then everyone will focus on this path.

Even if the "Maocai" subject in the end is the dominant position of general education, and the other "clear laws, clear calculations, virtuous, and knowing soldiers" are abandoned, this is not what Li Su hopes to see. If a certain specialist subject is dominant, it will be even worse, which is equivalent to taking the direction of China's academic progress.

This world still requires professionals to do professional things, and we cannot cultivate all generalists. We must give generalists the same room for improvement and specialists, and we must all take their own positions and show our strengths.

Therefore, during the meeting and discussion on the seventh day of the seventh day to the tenth day of the seventh day of the seventh day of the lunar month, Li Su was actually mainly working on solving this problem. Finally, they discussed a "job exchange system for officials of different professionals."

The new law stipulates that if an official comes from a filial piety and integrity department with no professional foundation, then he can transfer to the position and obtain the professional qualification of the administrative chief in the relevant field as long as he has been a candidate for ten years, or has been working as a member of any affairs during the alternate period for five years, and has achieved good results in the relevant work for five years.

If an official from four major subjects except Maocai, who has been an official in this major for five years after passing the exam, his or her political performance will be good in these five years, or if he or she has been an official in this major for three years, his or her performance will be excellent in these three years, then you can also apply for the "Acceptance of Transfer Examination" and the professional courses you need to transfer to the major for the make-up exam.

As for the performance evaluation system, this system was also available in the late Han Dynasty, but it was not a common law. It was not until the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty that it was perfected in history.

Li Su felt that this thing could be gradually taken out in a few years, and the performance level should be based on the fifth-level system, "good or bad"; the fourth-level is a barely passing the qualification and urgently requiring rectification; the fifth-level is a complete incompetence and failure to pass the qualification and demotion or even removal.

Specifically speaking, when it comes to the examination method of changing majors, for example, if a judicial supervisor who was originally from "Mingfa" and thinks he is more prosperous to be an official in finance and government engineering, then he can do a judge with excellent performance for three years and then take a math class.

Moreover, this kind of re-examination does not require competing with the normal imperial examinations, and there is no forced admission line. As long as you follow the zero-to-nine-point scoring system, if you score more than five points in the final math exam, you can be transferred from a judicial officer to a financial officer.

This is also a chance for those who participated in the imperial examination for the first time and passed the imperial examination when they were young, to regret and change their majors. After all, not everyone knew what career they wanted to do in their life when they were young.

Moreover, before joining the company, scholars did not know the benefits and hard work of an industry. If they were not given the opportunity to change majors, it would easily lead to the tear in the officialdom, and everyone "only watch the thief eat meat, but not knowing that the thief is beaten", feeling that their profession is hard, but they have no money and no reputation, which is not as good as other people's professional glory.

If you give this transfer, there is nothing to blame. If you dislike your major and work hard to transfer yourself. If you fail the professional course and cannot transfer, you can only blame him for giving him a chance to fail.

...

Finally, the system of transferring professionals is not just about transferring positions within the four majors. The most important thing is to include how to give the four majors the professionals to the Tongzheng official to be promoted.

That is, officials from other four subjects can eventually reach the opportunity to take Maocai, which is necessary to take all major courses.

Because Li Su had already said in the system design before: Maocaike is a general education, so he is a general administration official who takes care of all matters.

In other words, the starting point of the career of Maocai after the Maocai examination is the county magistrate, and all the work of a county must be taken. If the upward channel of "specialist to generalist" is not adopted, it will lead to all county magistrates, prefects, and governors, all the three-level top leaders in these places must be from Maocai, and no one will take the other four subjects in the future.

After all, the official position of Mingfa may be just a county magistrate (similar to the magistrate), and the virtuous are just a county magistrate. After the military examination, they start as a county magistrate, and when they start as a county magistrate, they start as a county magistrate or a wealth magistrate. Who doesn’t think that they can be the top leader in the future when they enter the officialdom?

However, Li Su also realized that for those with administrative experience, it is indeed a bit too demanding to have them pursued four majors before becoming a general administrator.

Among them, the talents of "virtuous" who engage in theoretical research and education may not be used all the time. The reason why Li Su still sets up "virtuous" is that this subject does have a market and tradition. Many great scholars hope to retain this subject, and the resistance to completely abolishing them is too great.

On the other hand, it was also because Li Su realized that his current "theory of blessings in the palace" that replaced Dong Zhongshu's "resonance with heaven and man" also needed to keep pace with the times a hundred years later. Because the focus of the theory of ruling legitimacy that needs to be emphasized in peaceful times and chaotic times is different.

Philosophical theory also requires evolution and enlightenment. Otherwise, there will be Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming who will serve the ruling class every few hundred years. Therefore, a small number of academic research on cutting-edge liberal arts theory is necessary, but not much. The future Tongzheng official's degree can be almost relaxed.

"Knowing the Army" is no longer something that local officials in every place have to learn in the peaceful era after the reunification of the world. At most, the administrative chiefs of frontier prefectures and counties need to know the army to resist the Hu people. However, the top leaders of the mainland administrative leaders do not understand the art of war.

So after taking this comprehensive consideration, the final compromise between Li Su and San Gong, Shangshu Ling and relevant Qing Cao was that for talents in the other four subjects, as long as they had excellent grades for five years, they could take the position of top leaders of prefectures, counties and counties that Maocai could have held, and the various schools of thought and military strategy could not be tested.

In addition, these make-up exams are the same as the aforementioned make-up exams. They do not compete for the pass rate with new students in the subject. This is just a test test, not a card selection test. As long as the test scores are passed, it is enough.

Especially mathematics and law are easy to calculate scores, and they are all objective questions. As long as you do the questions with more than 60% of the scores correctly, you can pass-

If everyone's level becomes higher in the future, Li Su can also consider increasing the difficulty of the test paper or appropriately increase the score line.

For example, if the questions are as simple as the driving test, then people will be required to pass the questions of 80 or 90. Or if they are done in later judicial examinations, they will be curvy and multi-choice questions. In this way, even if you pass the full score of 600 and you will pass the 360, it will not be easy to do it, and you will not be able to fill the crowd.

In fact, Li Su originally wanted to take only one math exam, so that the people's learning direction could be more and more oriented towards the balance of literature and science. However, considering the resistance of the bureaucratic group, people generally have bad mathematics, so they added the law, so no one can pick on every literature and science.

In fact, since Li Su asked Liu Bei to implement the "rental, mediocre, transfer and transfer" law last year, because local taxation requires the administrative officer to do a lot of work to calculate the efficiency of collection and dispatch, mathematics has actually improved to the level of learning.

If you haven't learned it, although old officials continue to use the old method, you can still be the top leader in the local area, as long as you collect taxes on the proportion of physical goods, equivalent corvee and equivalent transportation scheduling, and the allocation quota ratio is unreasonable, your final financial performance will definitely be very poor, and you may be demoted.

However, the current local officials can use the old method to "do not understand mathematics but hire a teacher and aide who is very knowledgeable in overall planning and optimization of money and grain", or expect the court to give him a capable household, finance and capital, and make excuses the matter.

In the future, all new officials who pass the imperial examination will follow the new system, and the top leader must be good at math. If he is not good at math, he cannot be a county magistrate, prefect, or governor.

These two sets of systems of transferring positions between professional officials were finally discussed and approved by the imperial court at the next five-day dynasty meeting, and were finally officially announced in the form of an imperial edict.

Along with the imperial decree, Li Sulie's general outline of the examination scope was issued so that local people would prepare for the election of juren this year.

Among them, the examination syllabus for the Zhibing Professional Course was provided by the Taiwei Guan Yu, and the Taiwei Chief Zhuge Liang helped draft it. The examination syllabus for mathematics and physics was of course handled by Li Su and Zhuge Liang. Other laws and philosophers and policy discussions were all handled by the relevant Yousi.

After the local area obtained the examination scope, a crazy trend of making up for mathematics was set off. Even if some local families had experienced relationships with local prefects and even governors, they also knew that if they failed the objective math questions, they would not be able to pass the exam even if they were admitted to the capital!
