Chapter 329 "Post-Huang Chao Era" Imperial Examination System

Everyone attached great importance to this issue.

In this era, insufficient manpower is a common phenomenon, otherwise countries would not have had to wander under the feudal system for so many years. Especially in Eastern Europe, where the Purple Horde is located, the situation is even more serious.

At the beginning, Zhu Wenkui asked Guo Kang why he didn't organize a unified examination when selecting managers in the purple account. Guo Kang told him at that time that, with the situation here, there is no need to hold an imperial examination.

Guo Kang believes that one of the prerequisites for the imperial examination is that there are enough scholars, so the selection needs to be conducted in a relatively fair way. And there is no such condition here at all.

Education in the Central Plains is a very scary system in the eyes of other ancient civilizations. In the bamboo slip era, education could continuously expand the boundaries of the aristocracy to the lower level, leading to the spread of "scholars".

By the time of using paper, the situation was even more obvious. The popularity of education was obviously an unstoppable thing - not only did the aristocratic era go away, but the aristocratic family did not last long.

In fact, later generations believed that the politics of aristocratic families only existed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In other eras and regimes, the aristocratic families could only maintain a certain influence. Later, many aristocratic families simply rely on military merits to maintain it. And when printing was done, it was also

After it appeared, even this fragile state could not exist.

The emergence and improvement of the imperial examination is the result of this development, not the reason. As for why it developed and improved rapidly since the Song Dynasty, Huang Chao's story is the most typical example: because he has not been able to pass the exam, Huang Chao was angry and resentful.

Yu family controlled the examination room, and eventually led the people to rebel, conquered Chang'an, and massacred the aristocratic families there. People at that time lamented that "the inner treasury was burned into ashes, and the sky was covered with the bones of the ministers and ministers", and this group never recovered from then on.

Therefore, the goal of the imperial examination is not entirely to select the best talents - this method can indeed screen out qualified people, but it is obviously not very good at screening out wizards and strangers.

On the other hand, the imperial examinations pay more attention to fairness, or at least make most scholars feel fair. In this way, the emergence of "Huang Chao" can be suppressed to the greatest extent. For this reason, even if some flexibility and efficiency are sacrificed,

It's all right. Because the government doesn't actually need so many geniuses. For the court, a stable structure composed of a large number of qualified personnel is the best choice, which is much better than taking risks.

As for top management talents, because of the extreme overcapacity of talents unique to the Central Plains and the perfect and mature bureaucratic system, it can basically be guaranteed that those who can climb to the top will not be qualified for mediocre people. This task does not require the imperial examination to be achieved.

Therefore, the imperial examination can be said to be a special civilization. In a special environment, it is a very targeted system. In addition, the entire talent training and selection system in the Central Plains is also the same. For other places, it can only be

Look, it's really hard to learn.

For example, here in the Purple Horde, the aristocratic clans themselves are one of the centers of education. The status of each family is largely due to their continuous cultivation of talents and the delivery of officials to the military and administrative systems. In fact, there is nothing we can do about it, because here

The education was too backward. Even the most educated Greeks back then were crippled by continuous invasions and civil wars.

At present, although there are internal assessment and selection mechanisms here, such as conducting regular exams within the legion to screen military officials with qualified documents as reference standards for improvement and rewards. However, these are not considered imperial examinations and the "post-Huang Chao era"

The imperial examination system is particularly far from that.

Another center of education is the church.

As the most effective education system in Europe, the church covers almost all aspects of education. From rural priests teaching children to literacy and arithmetic, to various local seminaries, to church universities in large cities, it can be said that from enlightenment to higher education,

There are churches. As for other parts of Europe, church education will only be greater.

It can be said that this system is the most suitable in Europe today. Therefore, the church is so concerned about the problem of insufficient talents - because providing qualified personnel also has their own responsibility.

The Ross region is even more backward. These dioceses not only have to undertake religious tasks, but also have to help assume part of their management responsibilities. Guo Kang estimated that for a long time, these places will be dominated by the church. Because secular education is really a luxury, I am afraid of it in the short term.

There is no hope.

Of course, according to the concept of the Purple Horde, it doesn’t matter whether it is secular or not.

There is actually a conceptual understanding here.

In Guo Kang's era, the "secularization" that people think of was a concept proposed by the French. The French meaning of this word is "lay".

The church divided the believers at that time into three types: lay people, that is, ordinary believers; scholars, that is, monks and nuns; priests, that is, priests, bishops and other people with formal positions. Therefore, the meaning of secularization is

In fact, it is "layalization", which means competing for power with the church, so as to retake the areas of education, thought and other areas controlled by the church back to the control of the secular government composed of lay people.

This concept is not "going to Christianity", but just "going to church". Because Europeans at that time could not think of a society that left Christianity...

In the most radical revolutionary era, the French also made some attempts. Some people tried to stop worshiping the Father, but worship abstract concepts such as "reason", which was called "reason worship".

Reason worshippers transformed churches in various places, including Notre Dame Cathedral, and renamed them the "Sanctuary of Reason". Crosses were destroyed and cemetery statues were destroyed everywhere to show their breaking with Christianity. Festivals and rallies were also held to promote and celebrate.

When it flourished, it almost became a new national religion.

Although it seems that it is just a replacement for the Father of Heavenly Father with an abstract "Tao", the promoter of rational worship insists that it is not an ordinary religion. Momoro, one of the dominant leaders, warns his followers of reason

It is just an abstract concept, not a god, but a part of man himself. Another leader, Cruz, said bluntly: There is only one god, that is the people.

And this degree of change still caused great chaos. Many people think it is too radical and unacceptable, and some people accused this change of causing debauchery and depravity.

In the process of cracking down on the church, some people took the opportunity to fill their pockets and embezzle church property. The rich people in the city rushed to acquire church industry at a low price, but refused to assume the charity responsibilities that the church had once been responsible for, which aroused dissatisfaction in the countryside.

Even conflict broke out between cities. Lyon, the second largest city, accused Paris of its policies and refused to obey, while Paris threatened to directly send troops to massacre opponents... Everyone was a mess, causing even more serious chaos

.

In the end, these extreme behaviors aroused the dissatisfaction of the moderates. Under the leadership of Robespierre, the radicals were purged, and Momoro and others were sent to the guillotine. Reason worship followed the loss of power, and this attempt

It was basically declared a failure.

This matter is a very valuable reference. If France after the Enlightenment could not withstand this change, then it would be better to be honest in Eastern Europe these days.

Wei Zhuang's poem "The Song of the Qin Woman" has been lost for a long time in history. Although this poem was very famous at that time and Wei Zhuang was also called "The Song of the Qin Woman" by people at that time, it was lost in the Five Dynasties. According to records from the Five Dynasties

, It is a sentence that the ministers and ministers especially do not like "There are all the bones of the ministers and ministers in the streets". In order to avoid trouble, Wei Zhuang himself asked not to continue circulating.

The complete poem known to modern people comes from Dunhuang and was discovered in modern times. The scriptures stolen by British Stein and French Pelchhe are written in the manuscripts of this poem. Later, after being proofread by Luo Zhenyu and Wang Guowei,

Become known again.
