Zhang Daan smiled and did not speak. Li Kuan followed Zhang Daan and went to the pavilion on the left. After opening the lock and the two entered, Li Kuan was really shocked when he watched the bookshelves full of thick files. He has been to the Chongwen Pavilion in the East Palace, and the archives here are not inferior to it, and even worse.
Li Kuan casually looked at the label on the bookshelf, it said "Henan Road", took a file at hand, and opened the first page of "Henan Mansion", and turned another page with no deeds, more like a catalog. It records the list of officials below grade 5 in Henan Prefecture. After each person's name, the volume, column, and volume are written.
"This won't be the archives of Henan Provincial officials!" Li Kuan turned a few pages in a row, all with the same result, suddenly looked up at the archives on other bookshelves, looked at Zhang Da'an in surprise and waited for him to answer: " Your Highness is right, here are officials below Rank 5 in Henan Province!"
Li Kuan was surprised: "Where are the officials of the fifth rank and above?"
"Deposit in the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Zhang Da'an replied, "All officials of rank 5 and above in our dynasty are appointed and removed by the emperor, and the appointment and dismissal of officials below rank 5 is determined by the Ministry of officials and then handed over to the emperor to decide."
Li Kuan went to another bookshelf again, took out a book and turned a page, it said: "The book cannot be listed, it is difficult to be elegant, so it is not qualified!" Li Kuan was shocked and asked curiously: " What does this mean?"
"Oh! This is the official who failed the exam!" Zhang Daan glanced at him and explained patiently, "This is that the official's calligraphy is not good, the handwriting is not neat, crooked and crooked, it is really ugly. As for other test items, it is no problem. , Only calligraphy can’t work.” New Bayi Chinese website first published www.(x81zw).comm./x81zw/.com
Li Kuan stared at Zhang Da'an in surprise: "You can't get promoted because of bad writing?"
"That's natural!" Zhang Da'an explained solemnly, "I have rules for selecting candidates for the exams: The system of selection and teaching shall be collected in Mengdong every year. If you go to the royal city for more than ten days, and within a thousand miles for mid-year, Thousands of miles away and less than ten days. Shangshu and Shilang are divided into three groups. Shangshu is Shangshuquan, and the two are divided into Zhongquan and Dongquan. Everyone chooses four talents, and school merits three reals. Four talents are the body. , Words, books, judgments. Those who are superior to the elderly have merits. The three realities are virtue, talent use, and labor service. Virtue is based on talent, and talent is based on labor. Labor must be tested and advance and retreat."
The "Book" in the "Four Talents" mentioned by Zhang Daan is the calligraphy of the officials. In the Tang Dynasty, the promotion of the "Four Talents" is the standard, namely: good looks, correct speech, beautiful calligraphy, Good arts and science, in short, looks handsome, can speak, and has a neat calligraphy and clear thoughts. You can enter the second round.
The "four talents" are the first stage of selection, and only those who pass will undergo the second stage of screening, which is the "three realities". The assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of both ability and political integrity, solid work style, and political performance. If you were an official in the Tang dynasty, and if your writing is not good, and your article is not good, then you will not be promoted to make a fortune.
The fact that a civilian official has no chance with you does not mean that you have no chance to become an official in the DPRK. You can join the army and make a military exploit to enter the Ministry of War, or even stay in the army and become a general in the army is also a reward. Li Kuan suddenly remembered a sentence of soul chicken soup: "God closes a door and will inevitably open a window for you. When you lose one thing, you will also gain another gift elsewhere!"
Suddenly, Li Kuan recalled why his grandfather Li Yuan had to let him practice the brush calligraphy when he was a child, and he exclaimed: "The calligraphy is as good as his own, and there is some truth to it!" It is only now that his brush calligraphy is slightly better, at least it can pass.
If the handwriting is really sloppy and unstructured, and you don’t even have the qualifications to be an official, Li Kuan can be considered to understand the good intentions of his grandfather Li Yuan, and it is not to blame that Li Yuan saw his face full of disgust at the beginning, and now he is grateful to his grandfather. He gave the order to practice good handwriting, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance.
Li Kuan put the file in his hand in the same place, without Zhang Da'an explaining that he also understood that this was a list of officials who failed the exam. If it is the first round of the officials who were eliminated from the game, the files will be placed at the bottom level, and some will be placed at the end. It can be said that the fate of these officials is branded with the word “out”, 90%. There is no chance of nine, and promotion has no chance with them.
If there is an emergency, they will be thought of, but there are fewer opportunities like this. Even if the political achievements are outstanding, there is still no way to get promoted, unless you meet the help of nobles and recommend them in front of the emperor to have a chance to change the current destiny.
If they pass the preliminary assessment and the officials who enter the second round are eliminated, their chances are much greater than the previous ones. As long as they perform well, they will have the opportunity to be promoted. Li Kuan sighed with emotion again: "Human connections are very important!"
Henan Province governs one prefecture, twenty-nine prefectures, and a total of 126 counties. There are thousands of officials, large and small, and all officials below the fifth grade are stored here. Li Kuan randomly glanced at a few and even thousands The above files are definitely a mountain if they are stacked together.
As for the other pavilions, Li Kuan did not go again. Zhang Daan told him that the storage in these pavilions is the same, but they are divided into different states and counties for each province. Li Kuan came out of the pavilion and looked at the three-story pavilion ahead. Here is the list of Guanzhong Dao officials, and his files were transferred from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to this place.
The six ministries are central administrative agencies. If the localities also have administrative agencies, the name has been changed a lot and replaced by "Cao". For example, the official ministries are Gong Cao. These files were all recorded by local Cao Department officials and then submitted to the Sixth Department.
In order to prevent local officials from accepting bribes and failing to make fair records, at the beginning, inspectors appointed by the imperial court in every state and county will visit various places irregularly. Now the officials of the six ministries do not have to go to the states and counties, and even the system of supervisory officials has been abolished, and officials will be sent for inspection unless there is a major event such as natural disasters or turmoil.
After the inspection, Zhang Daan took Li Kuan back to the previous office building again, and announced to everyone that Li Kuan was a Shangguan. Everyone bowed their bows and saluted them. They didn't know how Li Kuan was as an official of the staff. Even if Zhang Daan didn't say it, they knew it, so naturally they didn't dare to disrespect.
Li Kuan bowed in reply. The two asked and answered again. Li Kuan basically understood the work process of the staff and the duties of the examination department. Next, Li Kuan had to understand the specific tasks of the examination department, which was also the most important thing. .
"Excuse me, what exactly does the examination department do?"
Zhang Daan replied: "We have done a lot of things, and the division of labor is different. We will explain this to you when Master Zhang Wenguan comes back!"
Li Kuan looked at Zhang Da'an suspiciously, and thought: "Just say no, you can do it, why is it so troublesome that you have to wait for everyone to say it!" ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ .còм (End of this chapter)
