Chapter 24 The brilliance is getting bigger and bigger(1/2)

 ps: Continuous updates, please vote for support with everyone, and collect the ones who don’t have any!!!

At dusk, the few people were already drunk and hungry. Not to mention that they were drunk, they were filled with drunkenness!

At this time, Li Er held the wine bowl and sang loudly, which was quite like a poetic immortal.

"When you are about to drink, don't stop the cup, sing a song with you, please listen to me, bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, I hope I will never wake up again after being drunk. In ancient times, all sages were lonely, and only those who drink were left with their names..."

In ancient times, all sages were lonely, but only those who drink were left with their names!!

After chanting, Li Er glanced at Yang Fan with his drunken and hazy eyes.

Good poems, really good poems!

Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin also nodded drunk and ordered.

Yang Fan could only smile bitterly in his heart. People in the Tang Dynasty like wine, but how can they not have poems when they have wine? They just drank and wrote poems and chanted essays, but were fooled by a few people and pirated the poet's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

People! When you are proud, your tail will rise up and you will do something beyond common sense. Only then will you realize that drinking is really easy to mislead things.

Drinking weight is really not directly related to your force.

Li Er didn't expect that Yang Fan was so talented, he was really his soulmate!

All sages have been lonely since ancient times, and this is his current portrayal!

Those ordinary people and ordinary people only saw themselves killing their brothers and trapping their fathers for the throne.

But how could they know the pain in their hearts?

No one understands that life is as lonely as snow!

Now at least there are people who are about to drink, and Yang Fan understands him!

So his eyes narrowed and he asked:

"Boy, you are not only proficient in medical skills and martial arts, but also have such talent. Why don't you get fame and fortune, contribute to the court and benefit the people!"

"What's the best thing about being an official? If you don't do well, you will be scolded to death by the people. If you do well, you will be exhausted. How can you be free and easy now? You can eat and sleep when you want to. How leisurely and free!" Yang Fan blurted out with the intention of drinking.

This is also the conclusion drawn from drinking and bragging with friends in previous life.

Indeed, in ancient times, when an official position was small and had no right to speak, he became a senior official and was arrested by the emperor for a morning meeting before dawn. It was so hard!

"How could you boy have such an idea? We have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since we were young and practiced the Six Arts. Isn't it just to serve the court in the future?"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he wished he could not help but educate him.

Looking at Lao Li and Lao Cheng's face should have the same idea as Lao Fang.

Yang Fan was speechless about this kind of stubborn old antique. Who said that if you don’t become an official, you can’t serve the country!

Is it good to do business to contribute to the country's economic prosperity?

But he did not use this theory to convince them.

After all, they will not understand the limitations of the times after talking about them, so they can only explain them perfunctorily.

"Although the imperial examination system has opened up the road for all talents to enter the government, there are actually many unreasonable aspects. It is difficult for high school if it is not a child of aristocratic families."

"You say there is something unreasonable about the way to become an official in the imperial examination today?"

Old Li, Lao Fang heard Yang Fan say this, and asked angrily with disbelief.

Even Cheng Yaojin, a rough man, looked surprised.

"Yes, is there any problem?"

I looked at the few people in surprise, and I still have to ask so obviously?

Yang Fan, who had drunk alcohol, did not realize that it was because he had more than a thousand years of experience that he felt it was natural to see the loophole.

The imperial examination was considered a precedent for the officialdom of China, and it was a very advanced method of officialdom at this time.

Even later, many dynasties continued to use it.

The college entrance examinations and the national examinations in previous lives all borrowed from the strengths of the imperial examination system.

Although the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty had many disadvantages in his eyes, it was the most advanced method of obtaining officials in the current era.

"Please help us solve our doubts..."

The old house looked at Li Er's somewhat gloomy face and asked hurriedly.

The imperial examination system was Li Er's proud work. Now I feel unhappy when I heard Yang Fan say that the imperial examination system he implemented had many disadvantages.

"What we should worry about when talking about these things, this is not something we should worry about, it is what His Majesty and the ministers should worry about today..."

Yang Fan was a little depressed. He just drank and chatted. What about state affairs?

In this era, if you say too much, you will be punished for your words.

Furthermore, from these conversations, we can see that Lao Li and Lao Fang are also very knowledgeable and thoughtful people, and it is impossible for them to see the disadvantages of the current imperial examination!

Even though Cheng Yaojin usually looks stupid, he is very careful in many things, but his rough appearance and heroic behavior blinds many people's eyes.

"Nephew, please tell me, Chumo's younger brother in the mansion is about to take the imperial examination. It's good to learn more about it. And we are just chatting and will not spread it randomly. Isn't drinking and chatting just about talking about our own opinions?"

Cheng Yaojin could only speak at the warning of Lao Li.

Since a few people want to hear it, it doesn’t matter to Yang Fan, after all, it’s not a rebellious statement.

"Okay, since it's just a chat, let's just talk."

Judging from the original meaning of the imperial examination, the imperial examination system was very good for the current dynasty.

It broke the situation where aristocratic families monopolized their careers. It can be said that the dynasty set a precedent for officialdom, gave scholars all over the world an opportunity to show their ambitions, and also helped the court to be superior to officials. This is quite desirable.

Hearing this, Lao Li and Lao Fang and Lao Cheng looked at each other and felt a little satisfied.

So he asked proudly:

"Then do you think there are disadvantages in the imperial examination system?"

He curled his lips and still had some objections to Li Er's interruption of bragging.

Seeing Yang Fan's appearance, Li Er could only shut up immediately, suppress his dissatisfaction, and wanted to wait until this kid finished speaking before refuting.

Seeing that Li Er was very sensible, he continued to say.

Although the imperial examination has many benefits, there are still many shortcomings.

First, the imperial examination method is held once a year, but the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and scholars need to rush to Chang'an City to take the exam.

Because the journey is long, candidates take several months to rush on the road every year.

For rich families, there are naturally servants who will be with you.

For poor children, most of their time is spent on rushing and raising exam fees, so how can they still have time to study?

Second, in the imperial examination, candidates did not conduct a name-based system.

"What is the name system?"

Old Li and the others were very proud of their face and praised them.

Seeing that Lao Li and the others were very adept, Yang Fan did not show off, and then explained:

In the current imperial examination, the candidates' names can be seen, which provides space for fraud and fraud.

After all, most of the officials in the court are from aristocratic families. If the examiner sees his name and corrects the test paper, can he give a high score to the person he knows?

For poor disciples, isn’t this very unfair?

Only by sealing the names of each candidate with a seal and disassembly after reading the papers is a relatively fair way to select.

Following the explanation, Lao Li and the others were fascinated by the sound of being stunned, and finally they could nod their heads like chickens eating rice.

He took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and continued.

Third, all those who pass the imperial examination must be selected by the Ministry of Personnel, and the content is nothing more than policy discussions, government orders, copywriting, etc.

The children of aristocratic families are familiar with their ears and eyes, and they are familiar with their families and have excellent grades.

But the poor children, government orders, and copywriting have never been heard of.

This is equivalent to indirectly opening the back door for the children of aristocratic families.

The fourth...

"Ah, why are there?"

Li Er and his men were indeed shocked. They did not expect that the imperial examination system they were proud of had so many loopholes.

Isn’t this a slap them in the face?

"Uh... well, let's not talk about it, drink..."

Seeing that Lao Li and the others looked a little ugly, they had to stop.

Li Er and his friends were not in the mood to drink, and they were also very excited because of their joy in getting disaster relief and fundraising methods.

...

By the way, after Lao Li and his friends left, they turned into an uninhabited corner.
To be continued...
