Haihan's talent selection system is based on its own education system, which has similarities with traditional culture and education methods, but the differences are also obvious.
Haihan’s education system is not only for cultivating literati and reserve officials, a considerable part of educational resources is used to train industrial workers and specialized technical personnel, which is a function that Ming’s imperial examination system does not have.
However, because the scale of the education industry is still concentrated in a few areas such as Hainan Island, the bureaucratic team cultivated by Haihan himself is far from keeping up with the speed of territorial expansion. Therefore, retaining a large number of local officials from the former Ming Dynasty has become a shortcut for Haihan to solve the problem. .However, the foundation of the bureaucratic system in the former Ming Dynasty was the imperial examination system, which involved too many interests in various aspects. Haihan could not make drastic improvements to it in a short period of time. Have a reliable ascending channel.
As the pre-Ming ruled area that Haihan has taken over, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are undoubtedly a sample that will serve as a demonstration. How the government will select talents from the people is a major event that tens of millions of eyes are watching.
According to the imperial examination system of the former Ming Dynasty, the provincial examinations were held every three years in the capitals of each province, and those who passed the scientific examination, the age examination, and the recorded legacy could participate in the examination.The chief examiners who presided over the rural examinations were appointed and dispatched by the emperor himself, and the students who passed the examination were awarded the title of "juren" and thus qualified to enter the officialdom.
And presiding over such a big exam is indeed a bit beyond the load for the young Bai Letong.Prior to this, he had only participated in the organization of the local talent selection examination in Sanya a few times, and its scale, complexity and importance were far inferior to this triennial regional examination.
Now that this area has been taken over by Haihan, of course there will be no more examiners sent by the emperor to Hangzhou, and the organizer of the rural examination has also been changed from Zhejiang Cheng to the Haihan Donghai District Management Committee .
But the problem lies in the link between the old and the new government. Although some of the subordinate officials of the management committee are literati who have defected from the Ming Dynasty and have participated in the rural examination experience, they are also laymen in the organization of the imperial examination.There are many controversies about how to formulate questions, how to mark papers, how to formulate evaluation criteria, and whether to continue to implement the old rules or implement Haihan's new plan.
In order to ensure the authority of this rural examination and encourage literati in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions to actively participate, the management committee also thought of many ways.For example, currently presiding over the relevant work are several highly respected Confucian scholars and retired officials from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. These are specially invited by the management committee to act as facades and use their prestige and status to inform the outside world. Although the dynasty has changed now, However, the talent selection system of the previous dynasty will continue to be retained—at least this year's rural examination will not change.
So who will master the standards and scales of this imperial examination?Since the Haihan Executive Committee is far away, it is natural that Master Shi Diwenshi, who is close at hand, should make the decision. This is also the tone that has been set by the "Township Trial Office" specially established for this purpose.
However, at this juncture, the executive committee just sent another young "imperial envoy" to Hangzhou, and the official document clearly stated that this young master would "participate in hosting this year's rural examination". Do" the political wisdom of these old foxes.
Although Bai Letong had been an official for several years, he still had little experience dealing with this kind of old fox. Not long after he entered the village for a trial run, he had already been given a lot of information by the other party.
Officials of Bai Letong's age will be sent to other places to perform such important tasks for two reasons. One is that they are extremely capable, have rich work experience in professional fields, and can handle various difficult problems in unfamiliar environments. .Another possibility is that the person has a background deep enough to be able to represent the authority of the executive committee overseas.
It is not difficult to find out which situation Bai Letong belongs to. The old foxes only need to ask him for instructions and discuss some matters related to the imperial examination with him, and it is easy to test Bai Letong's professional ability.
These methods are hard to guard against for Bai Letong, so after a discussion, he will inevitably be tested by others.Everyone regarded him as the son of a rich man who came to Hangzhou to be gilded, and treated him with more than respect, but no one really regarded him as the chief examiner of this rural examination, and it was inevitable to be a little perfunctory when discussing some key issues.
Although Bai Letong has noticed these subtle details, he has no good way to deal with it. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Although he is the special envoy sent by Sanya to Hangzhou, Shi Diwen has not appointed him yet. local jobs.That is to say, he is just a pure outsider to the "Township Trial Office". Even if he wants to dictate, no one will listen to him.
At this time, there is still some time before the exam in August, and the final exam questions to be used have not yet been determined. Bai Letong looked at the question bank prepared by the people from the Township Trial Office, and found that there are still many problems in it.
In traditional imperial examinations, many questions are drawn from the Four Books and Five Classics, quoting sentences from them, requiring candidates to write stereotyped essays, or to compose poems.Haihan's examination system is more practical, and most of the examination questions are related to the actual work that grassroots officials will be exposed to.Judging from the question bank currently prepared by the township pilot office, the questions are obviously more inclined to the traditional imperial examinations, lacking content related to administrative affairs.
Of course, Bai Letong also raised this doubt to the staff of the township test, but the other party's response was that considering the limited knowledge of the students in this province about the Haihan system, if the style of the test questions changes too much, it may affect the selection of talents in the township test .
But Bai Letong is not the kind of person who promises to promise, since he has a mission, he will not be willing to travel all the way here to be a spectator.He proposed to the township pilot office that the proportion of examination questions in the history theory and policy theory part must be increased, and the examination content of administrative official documents with proposition questions must be added.And these changes to the examination questions must also be combined with the Haihan system, requiring candidates to show their understanding and intention of the new dynasty and new system in their application.
But the problem is that these people who run the township test are almost all old people from the Ming Dynasty. How can they come up with a Haihan-style test plan? Moreover, in order to maintain their own authority, they are not willing to accept the opinions of a young man like Bai Letong.So we talked and talked, until Bai Letong left the township to try it out, the two sides did not reach a clear cooperation intention.
Of course, Bai Letong also understood the reason. To run a business in Hangzhou, it is not enough to be appointed by the Executive Committee. It must also have the explicit support of Shi Diwen and the Donghai District Management Committee.
