In the fourth year of Hongwu, autumn goes and winter comes, Luoyang City ushered in the first heavy snow of this winter.

This heavy snow came a few days earlier than in previous years and also scored extremely heavily. In the first snow, there was a vast white area between the world around Luoyang. The temperature also dropped sharply below the freezing point. On the surface of Luoshui water passing through Luoyang City, you can see thin floating ice flowing downstream.

However, although the weather was cold, it could not freeze the enthusiasm of the imperial examination students of the Song Dynasty to pursue fame and fortune. Just when Luoyang was covered with snow, the civil, military and technicians from Yingtian Road and the second road of Zhuanyun Road entered the large and empty Shendu City of the Song Dynasty in the wind and snow.

That’s right, next spring, the Luoyang court of the Song Dynasty will hold a huge scientific expedition competition!

This is also the most formal and most enrolled scientific examination since the reopening of the Song Dynasty, which is the "scientific examination" rather than the "scientific examination". Because this exam is a comprehensive talent selection exam with an imperial examination plus two college entrance examinations, it is different from the imperial examination before the Xuanhe crisis.

In fact, when Zhao Kai first came, he didn't know much about the meaning of the imperial examination, and he also confused it with the public examination in later generations. But in fact, the meaning of the two was completely different. The public examination admitted grassroots civil servants, equivalent to public officials and craft officials in the Song Dynasty. The imperial examination admitted to senior officials, even if they were county lieutenants, they were also equivalent to officials of the police chief of a county!

In later generations, no one would regard a county public security director as a small civil servant, right?

Moreover, this type of position is just a "starting price" for the civil servants of the Song Dynasty who were born in the Jinshi. Although it is rare for Jinshi to climb to the level of priesthood, most Jinshi can still be promoted step by step, and there are definitely unlucky ones, such as the title of the Jinshi List and the King of Hell's life-seeking day, so they can only accept their fate!

However, most civil servants who came from Jinshi held very high-level positions. When the world was peaceful, it was no big deal to admit some literati who could only write essays but had no practical knowledge and had no work experience to take on these positions. Just use this method of selecting middle and senior civil servants as a means to appease the powerful and handsome men in the world.

The powerful and heroic people in the world have devoted their energy to studying Confucius and Mencius’ ways and writing essays, so there are not many people who rebel?

However, in times of troubled times, this way of selecting officials is completely inappropriate. When the world is peaceful, you will be a scattered life. At the same time, don’t be too greedy, then you will be considered a good official. But in times of troubled times, there are many times when you can’t be able to stay in the territory and be responsible! This is just a saying in a peaceful and prosperous era, but it is true in times of troubled times!

Moreover, in the troubled times, the land of the most important means of production in the agricultural society was used to raise a group of scholars and officials who studied the ways of Confucius and Mencius and wrote essays, and they were just making a fuss.

There are many people and large lands, but we cannot use population and land to raise soldiers. Instead, we raise some useless scholars. This is equivalent to binding all your hands and feet, and then using the courage to climb high for the people of the world to beat the enemy's mace!

Although he is very brave, he is likely to be knocked to death!

After understanding the essence of the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kai used his "second-year high school" wisdom to propose some improvement measures.

For example, a separate imperial examination into three parts: imperial examination, civil examination, and college entrance examination.

Among them, the imperial examination is the original liberal arts examination and the one who took the Jinshi. However, the number of people who were admitted to the Jinshi must be reduced. There are too many hundreds of people, and each subject is limited to thirty people.

Don’t think that there are too few thirty people, but Zhao Kai’s requirements are really high!

According to Zhao Kai's request, a Jinshi from the Luoyang court must become a talent by self-taught and have the ability to lead the military and civilians of a county to establish an anti-Jin base. In peacetime, he can organize industrial and agricultural production and lead the recruitment and training of militias. In wartime, he can lead the military and civilians of a county to carry out the armed struggle against the Jin Dynasty. How many talents can he get in a year in the public examinations in later generations?

The civil service examination is a selection exam for craftsmanship and public servants. This is a bit similar to the civil service examination in later generations. Those recruited are all low-level civil servants, who start working from the grassroots level, and then climb up with their abilities or other means. Because the quota of Jinshi is limited, only thirty can be obtained in three years, so there will be quite a lot of intermediate positions that can be left to these civil servants from the grassroots level.

Because there are quite a lot of grassroots civil servants, it is impossible for the Luoyang court to directly recruit people, otherwise the court would not have the time to take care of other things and be busy with exams every day!

Besides, the cost of testing this method is too high.

Therefore, the public examination is organized by the local Junzhou Prefecture Road and the imperial court's Ministry of Personnel as needed, and it is also taken every three years, but the date of the examination is staggered with the imperial examination competition of the imperial examination.

In addition to the imperial examination and public examination, Zhao Kai also held a college entrance examination, which was an examination for the admissions of five university schools held by the Song Dynasty.

These five university halls are Artillery School, Infantry School, Artillery School, and Science and Technology University.

Among them, the Artillery Academy is also called Xuanwu Hall because it is located in Xuanwu City next to Ziwei Palace.

The Infantry Academy is also known as the Shendu Hall because it is located in Shendu Garden.

Because the Cavalry Academy is located in Shangyang Palace, it is called Shangyang Hall.

Xuanwu, Shendu, and Shangyang are all military schools. The current school system is three years (two years of classrooms and one year of internship). The enrollment targets are military soldiers under the age of 35 or heroic teenagers between 16 and 20 years old.

Among them, the soldiers in the Mansion only need to pass a simple qualification exam to queue up to enter the school (ranked according to the level), while the young students only have scores!

In addition, domestic soldiers under 20 years old can also take the teenager exam.

After graduation, the official soldier student will be promoted according to the size of his previous title and position. If the official position is too high, he will not be promoted.

After teenagers graduate, they will be awarded the title of corporal, the position of low-level officers, and the position of vocational fields.

According to Zhao Kai's plan, in the future, actual officers of the Song army should enter the military school as much as possible to receive regular military education.

The University of Science and Technology Hall (also known as the Science Hall) is located in Xiyuan west of Shangyang Palace, also known as the Xiyuan University Hall, which has added big characters. It is not because it occupies a large area or because there are many students, but because Zhao Kai, the "second year of high school", personally served as the owner of the University of Science and Technology Hall!

Therefore, in the Luoyang court, the Jinshi and the first grade cannot be called the disciple of the emperor. Only by graduating from the University of Science and Technology can one be the real disciple of the emperor!

Well, according to Zhao Kai's requirements, these students from the Science and Technology University must improve their math, physics and chemistry level to a level close to that of the third year of junior high school in three years!

Although it is still unknown what future these junior high school students will have after graduation, because the four words "Son of Emperor" are so attractive, many people still want to take the exam.

Moreover, in order to encourage more scholars to take the college entrance examination, Zhao Kai made it convenient for all the students in the world to study and had fewer exam items on his examination schedule.

"You can take the Jinshi exam first and start the exam after the Lantern Festival next year! After the department exam is released, then the three military schools will take the exam. When the three military schools are finished, then the college entrance examination will take the exam!" Zhao Kai was in the western warm cabinet of Zhenguan Hall, which was very warm by the earth dragon, and the four magistrates, six ministers, and three armies were the commander of these people to discuss the imperial examination.

He carefully said: "The university examination is the same as the Jinshi subject. It can be used to take age without limiting, and you can take the calculation and literature subjects without taking martial arts."

"Just take these two subjects?" Zhao Kai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, smiled, "Isn't that similar to the Ministry of Revenue's Public Examination?"

"It's about the same," Zhao Kai nodded, "but after being admitted to the Ministry of Revenue, he had a job directly to make a living and then he had to go to college. He had to study and study more thoroughly and study math and study of things. This is a great question for studying things to learn. How can the minor officials who have plucked abacus in the Ministry of Revenue compare to?"

For Zhao Kai, a great scholar who is close to the third grade of junior high school level can look down on civil servants in the Ministry of Finance. However, since he wants to improve the level of natural science, he has to promote Confucianism's principle of "studying things and learning" as much as possible.

These Confucian principles cannot be understood by Zhao Kai’s “second-year high school” level in his previous life, but he was the “top student in his academic life” and he understood the Confucian principles!

Zhao Kai also said: "The Book of Rites. The Great says: Only when things are in a state of mind can they know the highest, then they know the highest will be sincere, then their minds will be sincere, then their minds will be upright, then their minds will be upright, then their body will be cultivated, then their family will be united, then their families will be unified, and then the country will be governed, and then the world will be peaceful. How should this thing be governed?

I think that the so-called investigation of things is to explore the principles of all things in the world, and everything has its own way. The great way is the sum of the way of heaven and earth. If we want to obtain the great way, we must start from the small way of things, and do not seek a single step to ask the way, but seek to make progress every day, every month and every month."

Zhao Kai glanced at the "Great Confucians" present, and did not see any contempt expressions on their faces, one by one, hiding his thoughts of despising natural science very well!
