Only thirty?

When he heard the number of scholars reported by Zhao Kai, the group of candidates below all showed disappointment!

A grand competition every three years, and only thirty Jinshi were won at a time... Although he could directly enter the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy and become a close minister of the emperor, he looked bright.

But the number is too small, and the winning rate is too low. How can there be enough points for so many scholars in the world?

"Officials, there are too few people who can win thirty scholars in one subject?"

"Yes, it's not easy for me to study hard, so you can give me a few more...a few hundred quotas!"

"Officials, Lao Zhuo has read the books of sages for a lifetime, and now he has finally achieved success in his knowledge. If he is still the same as before, Lao Zhuo has at least a special musical master named Jinshi who can win!"

"There are so many scholars in the world. Even if you get more than three thousand monks in one subject, how can you get more than 30?

"Yes, there are so many officials in the world who are going to do it. How can one thirty Jinshi be enough for one subject?"

"Please give more places no matter what!"

When a group of Shaanxi scholars came back, they stopped raising their hands and opened their throats and started yelling - aren't the speakers innocent today? Then we have to let go of our speech!

You have to argue!

Otherwise, if the quota for thirty talents in one subject is finalized, how can everyone become officials?

What? There are also practical subjects such as Mingfa, Mingju, Mingju, Mingju, Mingju, Mingju, Mingjiang and other subjects? That must be done!

In the early Song Dynasty, and in the Five Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination was not just a Jinshi, but a lot of miscellaneous subjects were taken together with the Jinshi subjects. However, from the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial examination began to show that "all subjects are inferior, only Jinshi is high."

On the one hand, the number of scholars who were selected by the Jinshi class was increasing, and their future in the officialdom was getting better and better; on the other hand, the miscellaneous subjects were increasingly discriminated against, and their status was not as good as military officers and eunuchs.

Those who rely on skills to be officials were called philosophers in the Song Dynasty... The courtesan lady was called philosophers, and they were all "philosophers"!

Moreover, it is not easy to learn miscellaneous subjects, such as law, arithmetic, creation, medicine, agriculture and animal husbandry, craftsmanship... None of them is easier than the "Four Books and Five Classics". It is difficult and useless to learn these. It is better to study hard and get a Jinshi exam!

The fewer people were admitted to the exam, and the court did not pay attention to it, so later they simply stopped taking miscellaneous subjects, just because they were given Jinshi in both civil and military subjects.

Moreover, both civil and military subjects mainly take essays... but the topics of literary and Jinshi are found in the "Four Books and Five Classics", and the topics of Wu Jinshi are found in the "Seven Books of Wu Jing".

In addition, the Wu Jinshi needs to take the archery test - it cannot be considered an archery test, because you don’t need to hit the target, and you can draw the archery test is considered to pass.

Therefore, a scholar with two strengths can be considered as practicing both civil and military practices as long as he writes the composition and memorizes the "Seven Books of Martial Arts".

If you don’t have the strength and cannot pass the imperial examination, you only need to go through a few more tests and get the qualification to be exempted from the answer, and then you can develop into a special report and famous Jinshi.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, learning to write essays is the most cost-effective!

But why, not only can the work of cutting people not be done well, but science and technology will stagnate!

The reason is very simple. The court does not value it, so the intellectuals below will not study it. Perhaps there are a few scholars who will study miscellaneous studies when they are tired of writing essays, but it is a very small number after all... And science and technology cannot be done by illiterate craftsmen who do not recognize words!

Science is the primary productive force!

Moreover, Zhao Kai still has a lot of "primary productivity" waiting to be taught!

Before teaching, he must not first touch a group of scholars who understand science and technology? He must not rely on them to support all kinds of schools?

Therefore, the number of Jinshi subjects must be greatly reduced, and at the same time... Jinshi must also be refined!

It is more difficult for a Jinshi to enter the officialdom and become a official in miscellaneous subjects. Only then can the enthusiasm of the intellectuals of the landlord class change from the "Four Books and Five Classics" to the practical study of miscellaneous subjects and practice in the military to make meritorious!

The high-quality Jinshi, because they are all talented people who are both civil and military, can not only join the army to fight wars, but also send them to the frontline areas to be local officials, so the proportion of people who can use them will naturally be higher.

However, the new imperial examination policy implemented by Zhao Kai will definitely attract a rebound from scholars... This was also expected by him, and this was also the reason why Zhao Kai put the location of this imperial examination in Kaifeng Prefecture!

He was prepared for the current public outrage!

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."

Just as the entouragers in front of Zichen Palace were "speaking freely", a rapid and dull drum sound suddenly rang!

And it's getting louder and more urgent!

Kaifeng Prefecture is now a frontline fortress!

What does this drum sound mean?

Is it a warning?

The golden thieves are coming?

Or the Yellow River Dam...

Thinking of the Jin thieves coming like a tide and the flood that was even more terrifying than the Jin thieves... I was a Shaanxi scholar, and I couldn't make any noise anymore. In front of Zichen Palace, which was still noisy just now, it gradually became quiet.

At this moment, Dong Jingang, the commander of the Tiance Imperial Army, walked in with great strides, quickly arrived in front of Zhao Kai's imperial throne, saluted with his hands, and then shouted: "Official family, the Jin thief army has arrived at Chenliu, 30 miles southeast of Kaifeng Prefecture!"

"The army of the Jin thieves?" Zhao Kai's expression was as usual, "How big is it?"

"No less than 30,000!" Dong Jingang said, "In addition, the Jin thieves in the direction of Huazhou also had abnormal movements... If the Jin thieves come from each other, Kaifeng Prefecture may be surrounded. Zongliu asked the official family to leave Kaifeng Prefecture as soon as possible and go to Guangwu Mountain to take charge."

Dong Jingang was a loud voice, and he deliberately shouted loudly, so no one outside Zichen Palace didn't know.

Two or three thousand eyes looked at Zhao Kai, as if saying: The golden thief is coming, the official family will run away!

Run...of course it is impossible!

Zhao Kai is so big that he is chosen by heaven, and he is simply the resurrected Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang who arrives early. How could he be afraid of just 30,000 gold thieves?

Facing everyone's eyes, Zhao Kai had already laughed and then said loudly: "It's just right! The Jin thief is not coming, I still want to go to Yingtian Prefecture (Songzhou) to find them!"

What's the meaning?

Want to fight?

Will I still take the exam?

Zhao Kai quickly gave them the answer, "Dong King Kong... clicked the guards of the imperial tent, and followed me out of the city to explore the enemy camp!" After saying that, he looked at the pick in the square outside Zichen Hall with bright eyes, "When you are in high school, you will be a Hanlin, a Hanlin in troubled times, you can dismount and write articles and get on the horse and kill the thieves!

If I don’t have the courage to follow me out of the city, there is no need to take the Jinshi exam there. Go back to my hometown to live a stable life!

If you still want to achieve something in this troubled world, please come to me... I will take you out of the city to see the Golden Thieves!"

Go out of the city to see the golden thief?

This official family is really crazy!

All the students were stunned!

Zhao Kaize looked at them with a smile, "What? Don't dare? If you want to be an official, don't be afraid of seeing the thief... I can't escape this!"

It's true that he can't escape... Zhao Kai never escaped in his previous life! He was arrested by the Jin thief and became the cuckold king. He also went to the Jin thief's hometown, so he wouldn't see the Jin thief every day?

However, he has created an official family in this life, and it is rare that the golden thief can only see the last time.

At this time, the Lu Xiucai suddenly shouted: "We scholars should take it as their responsibility to expel the Jin thieves and restore the mountains and rivers! If even the Jin thieves dare not see each other, how can we take on the great responsibility in the future?"

Zhao Kai nodded and said to the left and right: "Give Lu Xiucai a horse and a chain mail!" He turned around and asked Lu Xiucai, "Lu Xiucai, can you ride a horse?"

Lu Xiucai nodded and took a breath, "Yes!"

"Okay!" Zhao Kai smiled, "The Hanlin scholars are going to follow me to fight against the thieves. They must be both civil and military, and they cannot ride horses!"

Lu Xiucai thought to himself: Should I be a Hanlin bachelor or a Hanlin knight?

He was thinking that many scholars who were willing to be Hanlin knights stood up.

"The official family! Students can also ride horses and shoot arrows! I wish to go out of the city with the official family!"

"Officials, students are not afraid of golden thieves, and can ride horses!"

"Officials, I am willing to leave the city..."

Not to mention, although scholars in Shaanxi and Hedong are not well-written, there are still many talents who can ride horses and shoot archers.

At this time, I figured it out... Although the quota of the thirty "Hanlin Knights" was a little less, if anyone wanted to squeeze in, the future would be comparable to that of the five or six hundred literary Jinshi (excluding the martial Jinshi and special music names) in the class.

Especially for this first "Hanlin Knight", there will be a group of chief officials or important officials in ten years!

Seeing one or two hundred Shaanxi scholars standing up, Zhao Kai was already quite satisfied - he knew that the composition of these people would not be too bad, and morality would not be too good. Now that he dared to risk going out of the city to see the golden thief, it means that he was not a coward.

That's all, it's ready to be cultivated!

Zhao Kai planned: First, pick thirty of them to be Hanlin knights, and the rest recommend them to a group of brothers to serve as mules. Entering mules is actually a way to rise for literati in troubled times. Zhao Kai compressed the quota of Jinshi, which was actually to provide a channel for meritorious service to this group of aides recruited by generals and other civil servants.

Otherwise, the military officers who come from the path of military merit are not as good as civil servants who come from Jinshi, and the civil servants who come from the path of military merit are not as good as civil servants. This is too much of a blow to the enthusiasm of heroes.

"Okay!" Zhao Kai, who had planned, shouted, "Is there anyone willing to follow me out of the city? If nothing... then, I will take my real good man from the Song Dynasty out of the city!"

As he spoke, he strided hard and walked towards a door on the side of Zichen Hall. Dong Jingang also quickly followed, approached Zhao Kai, and whispered: "The official family... there is really a large army of Jin thieves coming to Chenliu!"

It turned out that Zhao Kai had arranged for Dong Jingang to act with him in a scene where the golden thief attacked him to show people...

"Really?" Zhao Kai frowned, "How many have you come?"

"No less than 30,000," said Dong Jingang, "It is very powerful when we advance water and land!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Kai chuckled, "Is Li Bao here?"

"Here," Dong Jingang said, "his warship fleet is in Jin Mingchi, and he can escort the official's house at any time."

"Leave?" Zhao Kai smiled, "I am also moving forward from land and water to Chenliu first!"
