Su Che wanted to turn Yuntai Academy into a "Yuntai Technical School"!

As early as when Cai Jing was in power, the reform of the philosophical system was mentioned. At that time, Cai Jing planned to let Yuntai Academy train philosophical officials, and at most a few military officers were given, so he would not steal the territory of civil officials. However, Cai Jing thought very well, but Wu Haogu was unwilling to cooperate. Later, Su Dongpo and Xuanma became prime minister, and Yuntai Academy suddenly had a backstage as hard as steel plates, so it was naturally impossible to train philosophical officials with peace of mind. In addition, during the last imperial examination competition, a dispute over the Qingcheng Palace was triggered, and both Cai Jing and Cai Bian were ousted. After that, no one in the officialdom mentioned this again.

If no one asks it, it does not mean that the problem does not exist.

The rise of the empirical school is shaking the foundation of the world, the emperor and the scholars and officials share the world! So now this matter has been brought to the table again.

Under the gaze of Su Che, Zhang Shangying, Zhao Tingzhi, Deng Xunwu, He Zhizhong, Liu Kui, Zheng Juzhong, Wu Juhou, Lin Rong and other groups of two government officials, Zhao Ji frowned.

He did not oppose the package of suggestions on reforming the imperial examinations submitted by the two governments. In the original history, he changed the imperial examination system to the Taixue period. It was still a reform without the rise of the empirical school, so the effect was not significant, and later it was changed back.

Nowadays, the scholars of the empirical school have shown far more than those of the scholars who studied hard. The long-standing problems that originally plagued the Song Dynasty, such as the Western thieves, the imperial guards, the lack of national use, etc., have been solved one by one with the efforts of the empirical school officials.

Since all the empirical officials are so capable, a comprehensive imperial examination reform is very necessary.

However, the imperial examination system is the foundation of the Song Dynasty, and if you want to make major changes, you must think about it carefully.

He looked at Cheng Tao Jiefu, the Imperial College Priest and the Grand Secretary of the Biyong Academy who was standing in the back row, "Tao Qing, can the Biyong Academy really teach a Jinshi?"

The key to the Suche version of the imperial examination reform is to enter the Imperial Academy. Now the empirical school is taking the "high-priced education" route, starting from the elementary school, it is taking the path of both literature and martial arts and learning both literature and science. When it comes to the elementary school stage, it is the elite education of Liuyi Academy, and then the college education at the university stage. The cost of investment is quite high, and a large number of "financial students" must pay for it. Therefore, it is impossible to promote it nationwide, at least in a foreseeable era.

The prerequisite for the popularization of higher education in later generations was the rapid development of social economy. In the Middle Ages, it was unimaginable.

So in the next few hundred years, there will be a few people who can go to college.

In this case, if the scholars are unified based on the knowledge of the Yuntai Academy as the standard, the taxi taken out must be very capable. But at the same time, it also prevents the risen disciples of poor scholars from all over the world from elementary school in the Yuntai Department to graduation in the academy (the academic system of the Yuntai Academy is also constantly improving, and the academy and subordinate colleges have gradually merged. The three-year academy course has been streamlined to two years, followed by two to three years of professional academy courses), which takes fourteen or five years. The tuition fees spent during this period will not be less than two or three thousand yuan.

This number is nothing for Jiehe Businessmen and Jingdong Businessmen. It is no problem to ask them to pay tens of thousands of sponsorship fees. For Beicangzhou Knights, Jiehe, Jingdong Public Officials, and the second generation of Yuntai Department’s academies (including elementary school and six arts), there are also various policies to reduce tuition fees, and it is not difficult to bear it.

However, for the vast majority of scholars in the Song Dynasty, unless they become officials, they will not earn 3,000 yuan in their lifetime. Even if they are middle-aged and above landlords, they do not have such high incomes. In fact, they are very poor in the Song Dynasty!

Therefore, the imperial examination reform planned by Su Che, Tao Jiefu and others adopted a "Jinshi re-education" approach.

It is better to use traditional methods to select scholars. This is absolutely impossible to change! If you add many empirical schools of knowledge, then the Jinshi class will be a empirical school! Don’t expect a few people to challenge Peking University and Tsinghua University by themselves.

After taking out the Jinshi, he was only given a prose (rank official) and was not sent to the Biyong Academy for positivist re-education. He studied for two years of "practice in the world". Although the Biyong Academy's "practice in the world" study cannot be compared with the Yuntai Academy, and the two years are too short.

However, Su Che and others still believe that after re-education, the Jinshi can still gain some practical skills.

Tao Jiefu reported: "As long as the Jinshi are willing to learn, the Biyong Academy can teach. In order to encourage the Jinshi to study, Your Majesty can hold a palace examination after the Jinshi is completed to assess the Jinshi's academic studies."

Zhao Ji lowered his head and thought, "Did you put the palace examination after the Jinshi graduated from the Biyong Academy?"

“That’s right.”

"Then how do you determine the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth?"

"The Ministry of Rites can be determined first after the examination," Tao Jiefu said, "All the ninth-rank generals will be awarded the title of the Shilang. After two years, the results of the palace examination will be determined. Those who are in the palace examination can also be transferred to the official position and the poor."

After the palace examination was completed after the Jinshi was completed from the Biyong Academy, it was decided by Su Che and Tao Jiefu repeatedly. If there was no such palace examination, it would be hard to say whether the Jinshi would be willing to study.

"What about the Jinshi on the right?" Zhao Ji asked, "All of them have been changed to craft officials?"

"What the Jinshi learned on the right list is originally the knowledge of the wise and wise officials." Su Che interrupted, "Now letting them become wise officials is just to clarify the source."

Changing the right-list Jinshi into a savage official is the conclusion decided by the two governments, which represents the consensus of the entire prime minister!

Zhao Ji was also in a little embarrassed now.

The craftsman is the lowest-level official, and it is difficult to get promoted. For ordinary craftsmen, of course they are unlucky. However, Zhao Ji knew the abilities of the empirical school. He himself was also a member of the empirical school!

Isn’t this right to demote someone to a wise official?

Zhao Ji shook his head, "I'll consider this."

The meaning of thinking about it is to wait for Wu Haogu to return to Beijing to discuss with him.

Su Che knew that Wu Haogu could fool him, so he quickly gave Zhao Tingzhi a look of his face, who was so sick that he was so sick that he was so sick.

Zhao Tingzhi coughed a few times, and tremblingly wanted to stand up from the skull. Zhao Ji quickly waved his hand: "Zhao Qing, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Tingzhi said: "The old minister thinks that although the right-listed Jinshi is the material for the craftsman, it cannot be regarded as ordinary craftsman. After all, the difficulty, time and tuition fees taught by the students of the Yuntai Academy are not inferior to those of the three major military schools. Moreover, the military today seems to be inseparable from the Yuntai Academy. This time, the most important thing in the victory of Khotan was Luo Gang, a student of the Yuntai Academy Construction Institute, which exploded the stone city wall. Moreover, the armor worn by the military generals, the horses riding, and the equipment used by the military generals are also inseparable from craftsmanship. Therefore, the right-listed Jinshi should be awarded the rank of military officers and do the craftsmanship. The promotion and official salary are the same as those of military officers."

Zhao Tingzhi's suggestions have also been agreed upon a long time ago. It is best to be able to make the right-list Jinshi into a craftsman. If it doesn't work, then step back and turn them into military officers. Instead of being like this now, you can be civil and military officers.

The reason why Zhao Tingzhi said this is because his son Zhao Mingcheng and his wife Li Qingzhao are all empirical experts.

"This is almost the same," Zhao Ji frowned and thought for a moment, "but don't mention any philosopher officer... In the future, the right-listed Jinshi was awarded the title of military officer, and the job of being a philosopher officer will be treated the same as that of a military officer."

"His Majesty's Holy Name!"

The ministers in Chongzheng Hall immediately sang and shouted in unison. These gangs are old-fashioned officials, so they naturally knew that they should advance, retreat, and know that haste would not be achieved.

It is impossible to beat the Jinshi of the right list with one stick. Cai Jing and Cai Bian have already suffered. Su Che, Zhang Shangying and the others must learn from them.

Their goal was to turn the Jinshi on the right list into a military officer who was skilled, so that they would be one level lower than the Jinshi on the left list.

The promotion of military officers is controlled by civil servants! If they are military officers who lead troops to fight, the commander on the front line will fight for them, and if they are rewarded for their contributions, who will be the soldiers on the front line give up? So the Ministry of War and the Privy Council dare not stick to them. But they are technical military officers in the rear. Haha, if the Ministry of War and the Privy Council want to stick to them, they will be small envoys for the rest of their lives...

Zhao Ji actually knew the plans of the civil minister. He was already a senior emperor with nine years of work experience, so why didn’t he know the thoughts of a group of civil officials?

But he was too lazy to ask, this matter should give Wu Haogu a headache... It's a mess! The minister below can bite the dog, so he, the emperor, can be free and easy.

"This year is the first year of Daguan. The next major is the three years of Daguan meeting." Zhao Ji thought, "There is more than one year to reform the Biyong Academy, and it must be changed well... It is not easy to learn to be practical in two years!"

"I will do my best to do my best and will not let down the entrustedness of Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji nodded. The matter of the imperial examination reform was decided like this. Anyway, it will take more than a year to take the imperial examination. If the reform of the Biyong Academy fails, find a way.

"Wu Haogu has submitted a memorial, and the adaptation of the Shuofang Army and the Western Army has been basically completed." Zhao Ji picked up the memorial before leaving Lingzhou again. The content was about the adaptation of the new army. "He has taken the responsibility of the Hebei imperial guards and the training of the new army. However, the imperial guards in Hedong, Jingjin, Jingdong, Jingjin and other places also need to be compiled and sorted. Wu Haogu suggested selecting capable ministers from the court to share the burden, so as to complete the reform as soon as possible. In this way, once something happens in the north, he can rush his army to advance Yanyun. What do you think?"

Wu Haogu started to fight back!

The civil servants in the hall immediately understood what Wu Haogu meant. He went to clean up the mess of the Hebei Army, but he ignored the mess elsewhere. You capable ministers in the court should also come forward to do some serious business for the country!
Chapter completed!
