"This "Imperial Examination Manual" explains that in the future, the entire imperial examination process will be divided into three stages: the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination. Only those with good rankings will be eligible to take the next stage of the examination. This is in line with the principle of merit-based examination.

Take it, my subordinates think it is very reasonable."

"But such a breakdown also shows that this imperial examination requires several rounds of selection, which requires extremely detailed organizational planning and sufficient time for preparation."

"Based on the following estimate, it will take at least four or five months to conduct the selection. But now there are only two months until the Spring Examination. It is obviously too late. I don't know how to prepare for this year's Spring Examination?"

I didn't expect Li Yifu to be able to see through the key at a glance. I really wanted to give him a thumbs up.

If this guy can become prime minister in the future, his talent will be really powerful.

Just by briefly looking at the content, I was able to point out the most important part of the imperial examination, which is worthy of a young talent with quick thinking.

It can be said that this reform of the imperial examination is still a bit urgent.

After all, education has not yet become popular, so it is almost impossible to select outstanding students from poor families in this imperial examination.

The reason why he forcibly mounted his horse was because of Yang Fan's helplessness.

His Majesty Li Er was eager to carry out the reform of the imperial examination, hoping to win over talents from poor families in the world for his own use. This was the original intention of the reform of the imperial examination.

However, a complete imperial examination requires not only the support of the above policies, but also a foundation.

And this foundation is the number of scholars. Nowadays, the number of scholars in the Tang Dynasty is very few, and the number of students from poor families is even less.

Therefore, if we want to see the effects of the imperial examination reform, we must improve basic education. This is a long-term process.

As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people!

There is no shortcut to cultivating talents!

Even if Yang Fan is a time traveler, there is still a bug in the system, and he is standing on the shoulders of the giant Huaxia Civilization, it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

The reason why the imperial examination reached its peak in the Song Dynasty was not only because the Song Dynasty suppressed martial arts and promoted literature, but more importantly, the Song Dynasty had a solid foundation.

That is, there are so many scholars that the imperial examination method for selecting talents has a base.

Although Yang Fan's imperial examination manual draws on the essence of various eras after the Song Dynasty.

However, there are huge differences from later generations in terms of political environment, social atmosphere, and the background of literati.

The system that is suitable for the future may not necessarily be suitable for the Tang Dynasty. This requires continuous discovery and improvement in the long-term exploration process.

In this imperial examination, Yang Fan's purpose was not to select talents from poor students.

It is about how to minimize the resistance of the family members to the imperial examination system and successfully complete this imperial examination, so as to set a model for subsequent imperial examinations.

When educational resources are not perfect, Datang at this stage has students who have knowledge reserves and work experience.

There is no doubt that the mother can only select young talents from aristocratic families.

After all, these young people live in a privileged environment and have been influenced by knowledge since childhood. Their knowledge, vision, and abilities are much higher than those from less privileged families.

It will take a long time for those children from poor families to compete with children from aristocratic families in the imperial examination.

In view of this, Yang Fan proposed the reason why scholars from other miscellaneous subjects should also be introduced to the imperial examination.

Because, in the next few years or more than ten years, those who take the imperial examination will still be the children of aristocratic families.

Moreover, most of those who pass the exam are children from aristocratic families, which is unquestionable by anyone.

Even His Majesty Li Er, who wanted to support the poor family members, had to accept this situation.

Even Yang Fan, who cheated, had to admit it, but Yang Fan still had to give an explanation, at least the reason was high-sounding.

"Those recommended by counties and townships are called students, and those who pass the state examination are called township examinations. The quotas for the township examinations are allocated by the imperial court. Those who are outstanding in the township examinations will be ranked first. Regardless of their family status and wealth, they can go to the capital to take part in the examinations with their ultimatums.

Those who pass the examination will be ranked by His Majesty for the final palace examination."

"This year's imperial examination is tight and the tasks are heavy. Therefore, we will no longer conduct rural examination selections. According to the "rural tributes" obtained by various states and counties in the past, as well as the "system examinations" selected by the emperor, these people will be used to directly conduct the joint examinations. Therefore,

, there are only two exams we have to prepare for, namely the general examination and the palace examination."

"These two exams have a small number of people and do not require much preparation time, so they should be able to take them in time."

Regarding various issues in it, Yang Fan had already prepared a draft and explained them directly.

The reason why he did not conduct selection through the provincial examination was because Yang Fan knew that even through selection, it would be impossible to select students from poor families, as these people's foundations were too weak.

In this case, we might as well simply cancel the township examination this year and directly use the township tribute from previous prefectures and counties at all levels.

In this way, it will not only enable those wealthy families who are extremely resistant to the imperial examination to accept the imperial examination to the maximum extent, but also set the tone for the new imperial examination reform.

Because this imperial examination can be said to be tailor-made for the wealthy families, but Yang Fan used this opportunity to thoroughly implement various policies of the imperial examination reform.

After hearing Yang Fan's explanation, Kong Yingda nodded happily.

Although he joined the Information Department, Kong Yingda did not want to go head-to-head with these aristocratic families.

Because he knows best how powerful the family members are.

If we try hard, we may really encounter collective resistance from the aristocratic families, so using roundabout tactics is the best way at the moment.

And Li Yifu understands the difficulties of students from a poor family. After all, he comes from a poor family.

Without Li Daliang's recommendation, there was almost no opportunity to embark on an official career, but now he actually knows how to avoid the sharp edges of the aristocratic family. It can be seen that his benefactor has made complete preparations, and this place makes Li Yifu even more confident.

As a die-hard fan of Yang Fan, of course you need to know the route Yang Fan takes in order to cooperate.

It is undeniable that Li Yifu is a talented person who understands affairs. He knows that everything must be done step by step.

Yuwen Shiji, Yan Shigu and others couldn't help but nodded happily.

If you support Gao Han's disciples and suppress the noble family from the beginning, you will definitely encounter the fiercest confrontation.

Either His Majesty Li Er was afraid of the resistance of the aristocratic families and the imperial examination reform ended in vain, or His Majesty Li Er's forceful implementation led to chaos in the world.

Neither of these is what the emperor wants to see.

Yang Fan proposed not to hold a provincial examination for this year's scientific examination, which is undoubtedly the safest method.

Not only did it appease the noble families, but it also left a way out for the rise of the poor men.

Use a method of boiling toads in warm water so that all parties can accept it and avoid too violent conflicts.

Who dares to say that my Minister of Rites is a genius? He is simply a genius in the world.
