Chapter 559

How could Li Su not think of the problems and disadvantages that Cai Mao could even think of?

What's more, Li Su has more than thousands of years of understanding of the pros and cons of the imperial examination system than anyone in this world.

Therefore, even though Li Su was unconscious when he first came to Jingzhou, after he personally presided over the work and conducted in-depth research, these disadvantages surfaced and began to work hard to solve them.

But I haven't thought of a perfect solution yet, or there are still many details to be considered to avoid rushing and causing more loopholes. Therefore, Li Sucai planned to take a steady approach and introduce a policy of opportunities for outsiders to become officials after the examination of local candidates.

Just like a programmer repairing a bug, you have to be careful of "because a bug is repaired to cause more bugs", then you have to test it carefully, and you cannot just throw it to the market after typing the code.

Li Su's staff's initial suggestion on this issue was to directly hold an additional temporary exam and add a test to admit several famous scholars from exile in the "occupied areas", which would also be more pleasing to people's hearts. This is what people with a flexible mind like Zhang Song and others suggest.

However, Deng Zhi and Wang Lei, who are more meticulous in thinking or have a rigid and cautious style, do not recommend doing this, and believe that a stable system must be formed.

Otherwise, "if people from other places can do extra-law tests at will, the admission rate may not be certain, but locals have to follow the steps and the admission rate is very stable", which can easily lead to reverse pseudo-immigration operations.

For example, in the end, it turned out to be "although they were from Yizhou or Jingzhou, they tried to see if they had any relatives from other states in the occupied areas, pretending to join them before coming back."

Isn’t that a “gilded to export to domestic sales”?

Li Su is of course very recognized for this concern, because he knew that this was not the same as some historical stages that "it was finally blocked from domestic cross-provincial college entrance examination immigration, but it turned out to be a new trick: the rich-class students went abroad to study in primary and secondary schools, or even changed their nationalities. They returned to China to study as international students at the university stage."

That is all the way to become an international student in one step, completely bypassing the college entrance examination.

Therefore, we really can't be anxious. Enko was not a casual one. In history, those who opened Enko were also unified dynasties, and treated equally in all regions of the country. If you don't have that control condition, you will only lead to the increasing serious employment problem and induce chaos in the world.

The path to the promotion of officials in the occupied areas and foreigners should be built, but the standards must be well grasped. Instead, the scholars in the occupied areas cannot be treated as "super national treatment". In that case, the loyalty and cohesion of the scholars in the ruling area will collapse.

At that time, everyone would like to hope that the more places the Liu Bei regime would fall, the better. Anyway, the places where they fall will take more opportunities to become officials than not, and they will work hard to protect their hometowns. It’s a big family who will take the imperial examinations to take more cultural examinations than Yuan Shao’s ninth-rank Zhongzheng system is already unhappy, and it will be even more unhappy if they make trouble.

Fortunately, Li Su's major in his previous life was very familiar with the history of the development of the ruling technique and could draw on many details. So on the eve of Cai Mao's connection and Ni Heng's anger, Li Su's latest discussion intention was to establish a system similar to the "bingong" in the imperial examination system of the Song and Ming dynasties in the later Song and Ming dynasties.

At the same time, for candidates in various prefectures in the occupied areas of the Han area, temporary "refer to the Bingong system" will be temporarily "handled in accordance with the Bingong system."

When Li Sugang proposed this idea, Deng Zhi, Xu Shu, Zhang Song and Wang Lei felt it was incredible, and he never expected Sikong to have such a wild idea.

Deng Zhi asked for advice humbly: "I really don't understand what situation did this 'Bingong' method originally used? Why did it be set up like this? Why is the future development of people who become officials in Bingong so different from Changke?"

No one helped Li Su to do this, so he had to explain to his staff himself: "The so-called Bingong is a system for foreigners to take exams. Suppose that today the barbarians of Sanhan, Fuyu, Goguryeo, Wa, Linyi and other countries admired the sinicization and came to China to study.

The court naturally also wanted to give them the opportunity to be good. If they encounter knowledge that is really worthy of their knowledge, they can also be awarded officials as appropriate for their assessment in the future. However, for these tribute students, they can only be awarded positions such as Chang Ke, Wei Wei, and other departments, either as cultural instructors, or as military strategists, or as military strategists, and leading military generals.

You must not be a local government official, nor be in charge of local money, grain, and judicial and civil affairs. In this way, the imperial examinations will not be worried that these outsiders will rob local local officials.

If they want to make meritorious contributions, they will strive for areas where they can easily see their merits by giving advice to the army and leading troops to fight. Even if they only have talents in mathematics or criminal status, they can only be military officials and military judges, and cannot compete with local governments for profit."

Li Su knew very well that to make the people in the ruling jurisdiction not envy the exiled northern soldiers, the most important thing is not to let them be local officials who are prone to making money. Foreigners can only do practical things related to military affairs.

Moreover, for exiles, it is indeed a field that is easy to make meritorious contributions openly and transparently. Since ancient times, only military merit-related achievements cannot be faked.

Even literati, co-organizing military logistics and transportation, whether the loss rate is reduced, and whether the leader of the gang won the battle, is the most quantitative and strong KPI.

Fairness and transparency are the greatest guarantee for eliminating mutual suspicion between the two groups.

In fact, in the original history, the Sun and Liu families among the rulers of the Three Kingdoms did not resolve this well. Liu Bei always had conflicts between the Jingzhou faction and the locals of Yizhou. Sun Quan also had conflicts between the exiled Beishi and the Jiangdong family. In the end, they had to temporarily suppress the conflicts at the cost of a certain faction being depressed and unwilling to contribute wholeheartedly to the country.

This problem in Wei State is not obvious, but that is because Wei State occupied a large territory, so we can live well without the need for "talents in the occupied area", so we can choose to completely sacrifice the fallen area to seek refugees-

At least in the late Three Kingdoms, there were no talents born in Yizhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and after adulthood, they went to Wei to seek official positions and were reused. Because this type of person almost does not exist, there is no problem.

Li Su's move today is not only to resolve the "conflict between the locals in the imperial examinations during the war and the exiled northern scholars", but also to completely find a way to vent the regional contradictions of the entire personnel system.

In the future, the elderly in the occupied areas who had joined Liu Bei's camp before can also use Li Su's inspiration to better find their position and get along with local colleagues. Li Su's construction today can be regarded as a merit of over-complete completion.

The system of "Bingong" has been tested in history and has indeed performed well. The Song and Ming dynasties did not give international students superior national treatment, and always attracted distant people to come to the court, as well as ensured the cohesion and sense of superiority and self-esteem of their country. They would not envy international students.

The main people who came to Kobingong in the Song Dynasty were the Koreans and Jiaozhi people, while the main people who came to Kobingong in the Ming Dynasty were the Koreans and Vietnamese. Especially when the Ming Dynasty reached its peak, the Bingong was of very high value.

If a North Korean scholar came to the Ming Dynasty and passed the Jinshi exam, as long as he chose to return to North Korea to be an official, he would basically be awarded the six senatorship positions by the King of North Korea (the six senatorships are equivalent to the six senatorships of the Ming Dynasty, and the senatorship is the doctor of the six senatorships, that is, the chief department level)

...

After discussing the positioning of Bingong proposed by Li Su, the staff also felt that the principle level was very solid, which could ensure that the interests of locals and foreigners were balanced, ensure that national treatment was given priority, and unite people's hearts.

Of course, everyone knows the details of the subsequent "big righteousness": the system established by Li Su today is the "bingong" system, but in actual operation, there is actually not a real Bingong student.

Because the Bingong Juzi in the legal sense must be a foreigner, it is absolutely impossible to say that the scholars who came into exile from the occupied areas of Yuan Cao were "Bingong Juzi", but they can only be said to be "according to the management methods of Bingong Juzi". The occupied areas of Yuan Cao are still in the territory of the Han Dynasty, but they have not been liberated for the time being.

After discussing the title and results, the staff worked together to brainstorm and soon discovered another operational problem, that is, the allocation of examination quotas: the allocation of quotas for regular subjects, but according to the prefectures and counties, each prefecture and county, it is publicly handled.

But for the people in the occupied areas, it is obvious that this cannot be done.

Gongcao was the first to point out: "Sikong, if he was assigned to the various prefectures and counties in the occupied areas to vote for the scholarly examinations according to the common law, he would definitely die of drought and flooding, which would be too unfair.

For example, the scholars who came to Jingzhou in exile must be the surrounding Yangzhou and Yuzhou. Especially Yingchuan County borders Jingzhou, and there are many famous families of scholars.

If the entire Yingchuan County exile group came to Jing, only one filial, honest, virtuous, clear and law-abiding group each year, then the competition would definitely be too fierce. And the exiles from the prefectures and counties in the north would probably be too easy to pass the election.

It's not intuitive to say this. Let me give you an example. Please think about it. Well, by the way, I heard that there is another exiled northern scholar in Xiangyang County, who comes from the faraway land of Ji, and the plains Ni Zhengping. It should be the only famous person in Pingyuan County in Jingzhou.

If you follow the method of selecting people in the Changcai and insist on gathering four Qingzhou people to accompany him for the exam, Ni Zhengping can easily pass the exam. This is because the other party has a reputation for talent and knowledge. There are still many counties that may not have a well-known scholar who has not been exiled, which will be even easier, and it will inevitably be filled with mud and sand."

Faced with Wang Lei's suggestion, Xu Shu empathized the most among the four aides - because he was from Yingchuan County, and he also had several other Yingchuan junior brothers who were under Sima Hui's sect. Now, even if he has not yet become an official, even if he participates in Bingong, he will probably have to go through the "difficulty of the imperial examination hell."

Although Xu Shu is now a military officer in the Sikong Mansion/Governor General’s Office, he should not speak more about personnel reform, but he still couldn’t help asking:

"Sikong, my subordinates thought it would be better to use the primary selection method of the occupied areas for the occupied areas. As long as you ensure that the difficulty is not reduced and the locals are convinced, the specific test method can be changed.

For example, the Han Dynasty has now fallen into the eight states of Qingjiyou and Yanyu and Xuyang. The total number of places to be admitted to Bingong in the next few years will be determined to be the annual number of Maocai people. The remaining virtuous soldiers will be roughly selected according to the number of counties, and each will be selected for fifty people.

In this way, no matter which county the candidate is from, all the students are selected according to their grades, and there is no guarantee that there will be people in each county who will be awarded the exam and will not show up for the exam.

All the people who passed the exam were appointed as military officers of various departments, military officers, cultural instructors, and senior positions were not enough, and the ranking was first based on the grades. Those with lower scores could be assisted. In the future, they would be adjusted according to their political achievements."

Li Su touched the turtle for a while and made a decision: "This is relatively feasible. According to this idea, we will refine it. The scale of the students is still too large. There will not be too many people coming to take the exam this year. Please reduce it. After all, there are no more exiled northern soldiers coming to Jingzhou than those who stayed in the local area. At least half or two-thirds of them were cut."

After Li Su finished giving the order, he thought to himself: This reform further laid the prelude to the future "opening up the imperial examination and admission".

Since Bingong candidates can be admitted completely according to their grades, locals can also disrupt all counties in one state and be admitted from high to low. In this way, the county family will not be able to surround them.

Li Su was just thinking about this and suddenly heard the noise gradually in the front yard of the Governor's Office and the guards ran around.

Li Su was unhappy and asked Dian Wei to confirm the situation. Not long after, Dian Wei came back in anger: "Sikong, there is a corrupt scholar outside who insults you in the imperial examination method. I can't stand it. Whenever you give the order, I will chop the thief with a halberd."

Li Su was very calm: "What's the hurry? Let's see the situation first."

He was really afraid that Dian Wei would be impulsive, so he directly chopped off some famous madman like Xu Chu and Xu You, which made him feel unreasonable.

Li Su asked himself how righteous he was and was very decent in government affairs, and was not afraid of slander. Someone came to criticize him, which was just a chance to send a maid to fight against the scholars and gain a reputation.
