Bai Letong believes that the fraudulent behavior in the rural examination is that the Yangzhou salt merchants tried to bribe the officials of the provincial examination office to seek convenience for the children of the salt merchants who participated in the rural examination.The officials of the township trial office also wanted to take this opportunity to take care of their younger generations.All ghosts, ghosts and snake gods gathered together to create the current situation.As a local official in charge, Shi Diwen can hardly absolve himself of the blame for this, regardless of whether he knew about it before.
However, Shi Diwen insisted that the tightness of the system should be flexibly controlled, especially in some special cases, relaxing the scale may bring greater benefits to Haihan than the imperial examination itself.
In Bai Letong's view, neither the connections of the township trial officials nor the children of Yangzhou salt merchants can be considered "influential figures". If these people pass the test with a blind eye, then For Haihan, the risks outweigh the benefits. Once exposed, not only the imperial examinations, but even the credibility of the government will be in crisis.
Father, like son.The debate between these two people did not distinguish between superiority and superiority, but Tao Hongfang who was next to him had heard some clues, and asked: "Uncle Shi, according to you, the opening of the township trial is not actually for the children of salt merchants." Open, they are just meeting at the right time?"
Bai Letong glanced at Tao Hongfang, and thought that you thought of me together, and then he also asked: "Uncle Shi, you have been trying to protect the officials of the township trial, and you don't agree to let me revise the test plan. Is it for the same reason?"
Shi Diwen said with a smile: "Your tone is a bit like asking questions!"
The two hurriedly said not daring.Even if they came here today with this idea in mind, they definitely can't admit it verbally. This is disrespectful to the elders.What's more, there are still many secrets in this matter that have not been clarified, and they dare not blame Shi Diwen for all this.
Shi Diwen put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Although our country has replaced Daming, Daming has ruled the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions for more than 200 years. It is difficult for us to eliminate the influence of this region in a short period of time. This year we will Retaining the old imperial examination system sounds good to stabilize people's hearts and select talents, but it is actually a kind of compromise out of desperation."
"For our country, how to prove that we are the orthodox destiny and let the people of the world recognize our authority is a very urgent task at the moment. To achieve this goal, we have to adopt various means, of course Including the imperial examinations."
"But is it enough to just keep the imperial examination system of the previous dynasty? Things are not that simple. It may not be difficult to get the people to obey, but it will take a long time to win their trust. I know you are very concerned about the examination questions of the township examination. The program and the candidates for the township test, but you probably haven’t noticed how big the gap is in the number of students who signed up for the township test this year compared with previous years. If anyone knows, please let me know.”
Tao Hongfang and Ning Zi looked at Bai Letong respectfully, and Bai Letong couldn't help showing a look of shame on his face.As Shi Diwen said, he didn't know the situation in this aspect because he didn't pay attention to it, but the relevant information shouldn't be ignored so easily.As an official sent by the executive committee to supervise the examination in Hangzhou, his performance in this aspect was indeed a bit dereliction of duty.
Shi Diwen took their reactions into his eyes, nodded and continued: "Then let me talk about the official statistics. If I don't talk about it, it means that in the more than 20 years since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, Zhejiang has held a total of nine The second rural examination. During this period, the Ming Dynasty has been going downhill. Although Zhejiang is a rich place with relatively developed cultural and educational undertakings, the number of students applying for the provincial examination is also less than each time. The last rural examination before we took over Zhejiang, the number of applicants was only There are 3000 people."
"Does this number sound a little small? But in fact, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces are already the places with the most candidates across the country. And the number of scholars who can be selected in each township examination in Zhejiang is only a few. About [-] people. You have been living in Sanya, and you should know that our country needs a large number of people with cultural background to enrich the official team, but only relying on educational institutions in Hainan Island to train talents is far from keeping up with the needs of development. Therefore The executive committee attaches great importance to the imperial examination system and hopes to get more talents from the former Daming area."
"However, the number of students applying for the rural examination this year is still much lower than our estimate. Xiaobai, you should know this number, right?"
Bai Letong replied: "As of now, there are more than [-] applicants for this township examination..."
Shi Diwen nodded and said: "You have heard that this number is less than half of the Chongzhen period, and the scope of registration for this township examination is not only in Zhejiang Province, but the entire East China Sea region! The registration area has become larger , but the number of applicants has dropped, tell me, what is the problem?"
The area under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Region is far more than Zhejiang. Parts of Jiangsu and Anhui have also been included under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Region. It is almost the most affluent area in the former Ming Dynasty. Its geographical area and population are both Very impressive.
Ning Zijing was the first to respond, "The publicity work must not be in place. The people don't know enough about the time and place of the township exam, so they didn't have time to prepare in advance."
Tao Hongfang said: "Perhaps some scholars still have doubts about the rural examination held in our country. They don't know our country's talent selection standards, so they dare not try it lightly."
"Where is Xiaobai, what do you think?" After listening to their opinions, Shi Diwen turned around and asked Bai Letong again.
After listening to what Shi Diwen just described, Bai Letong actually knew it in his heart. With the current registration status, no matter how many qualified talents can be selected in the end, the influence of this township examination will be far less than that of the executive committee. will expect.As for the reason, Bai Letong can roughly think of some reasons.
"The juniors think that it is mainly because the local literati still lack sufficient trust in our country, which has led to many people taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the rural examinations sponsored by our country and not willing to actively participate." Bai Letong also calmed down at this time, according to the facts Answered Shi Diwen's question.
Shi Diwen nodded and said: "What you said just now makes sense, the problem lies here, so do you have a solution?"
Bai Letong hesitated and said: "The township examination is coming soon, even if you come up with a solution now, it will be too late to implement it?"
Shi Diwen said: "Whether it's too late or not, it doesn't prevent us from discussing the solution. Even if it's too late to implement it this time, it can be used next time."
