The cabinet also announced that ten days later, all counties, prefectures, states and the capital of Jing State would hold a nationwide unified civil service examination similar to the imperial examination.
Since this is a trial, the civil servant examination will be gradually improved in the future.
The civil service examination is divided into three examinations.
There are two papers in the first exam.
The first test paper mainly tests administrative knowledge, such as public security, officials, laws, people, etc. The test paper includes multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and brief description test formats.
The second test paper is an ability test, which mainly examines a person's comprehensive level of judgment, reasoning, understanding, analysis, arithmetic, etc.
For the second exam, you will get different test papers depending on the position you apply for.
The second exam also has two papers.
The first test paper is broken down into different test papers. You have to answer the test paper of the company that the position involves.
The second test paper is a single subject test paper. You have to answer the test paper for the corresponding position you want to hold.
The third exam only tests one item, the essay.
After the exam, the papers are graded for three days and the results are announced on the fourth day. Each paper is scored on a 100-point scale, with a total score of 500. Clerks are admitted based on the final scores.
This civil servant examination does not limit the identity or academic rank of the candidate. Even if one has certain physical defects or illnesses, as long as he or she can participate in the work of the government office normally and meets the required scores, he or she can be admitted.
In addition, many details are listed.
Since it was a trial exam, the preparations were somewhat hasty. The questions for this civil servant exam were entirely set by Fang Yun alone, reviewed and confirmed by the cabinet council, and the chief examiner was also Fang Yun.
During the examination, Fang Yun will mobilize the power of the Jingguo Holy Temple to personally supervise the examination, and will also invite relevant halls and pavilions of the Holy Academy to conduct inspections.
After this examination is over, Fang Yun will work with other officials to compile relevant guidance books as the content for next year's civil service examination.
When the news came out, the whole world was shocked.
Previously, the discussion on the discussion board mainly focused on miscellaneous schools and the affairs of the Jing State, but now, all discussions are about the civil service examination.
Most people asked about the significance and purpose of the civil service examination because it was unprecedented.
However, some people saw the intention.
"Fang Yun is really ambitious. He wants to set up his own small holy academy!"
"This is simply another imperial examination!"
"The Holy Academy has the human imperial examination, and the Jing Kingdom has the civil servant imperial examination. Awesome, awesome!"
"Fang Xusheng is really humiliating scholars. It would be fine if only those official positions with high ranks were recruiting people, but why would scholars be allowed to take up those lowly jobs of servants without high ranks?"
However, some people have different opinions.
"To say that Fang Xusheng is ambitious is simply despicable. He was obviously forced to take the civil servant exam this time by the miscellaneous family!"
"If the Miscellaneous School had not suddenly expelled the officials of Jing State, resulting in Jing State having no officials to use, why would Jing State be in such a state? If it does not imitate the imperial examination system, does it have to use the backward recommendation system?"
"Some people are so despicable. It was Fang Xusheng who was forced into a desperate situation, but they deliberately framed Fang Xusheng for challenging the Holy Academy. Their intentions are so vicious that they are like traitors! It's simply history repeating itself!"
"Duke Jing's letter clearly stated that the status of clerks will gradually improve in the future. Many clerks will no longer be menial jobs, but people of status."
In addition, some discerning people praised it, and some even wanted to go to Jingguo to take the exam.
"Fang Xusheng is really amazing, really amazing! Not to mention Jingguo, the selection of officials in all ten countries is very problematic. I am not in a position to go into details, but everyone knows that some government offices have become places where filth and corruption are hidden. Now it's all good, with a completely open selection process, and the world is truly clear and honest!"
"Don't even mention that there are so many scholars now. In the past, when there were fewer scholars, some local scholars couldn't even get a job in the government because the positions in the government were controlled by local tyrants. How could you get into the government without some power?"
"Fang Xusheng is very wise. In the past, there were not many scholars, and no one would take this kind of civil servant examination, because many scholars thought they were noble and didn't want to be ordinary civil servants. Now there are so many scholars, it is impossible for all of them to become officials, and being a civil servant is a good choice."
"The miscellaneous family expelled the officials and cut off the firewood from the cauldron, but who would have thought that Fang Xusheng would do the opposite. The court is still a little chaotic now, but after the civil servant examination is over and the new civil servants know how to do things, Jingguo will surely be stable soon."
"First, he established the Council of State, and then selected officials from among the scholars, completely eliminating the hidden dangers caused by too many scholars. Fang Yun's ability is immeasurable."
At the same time, someone discovered the crisis.
"I'm afraid this civil servant exam will cause some trouble. This matter has not been approved by the Eastern Saint Pavilion, and it is almost like seizing the power of the Saint Academy. The Saint Academy will not ignore it."
"I have a feeling that this civil servant exam will either make peace between the Zajia and Fang Xusheng, or they will be in complete opposition! After the Zajia reform, they have always wanted to control all officials. Once they succeed, the Zajia will most likely be promoted to a palace, and their holy way will be greatly expanded. Now Fang Yun suddenly created this civil servant exam, which is obviously what the Zajia urgently needs. If they can be integrated into the Zajia, it will definitely greatly expand the Zajia holy way. However, the relationship between Fang Xusheng and the Zajia is too delicate..."
As the discussions on the discussion board increased, many things were analyzed, and everyone realized that the impact and significance of this civil service examination would probably exceed all of Fang Yun’s previous reforms and innovations.
This was because a geek scholar from the Kingdom of Qing criticized Fang Yun and enlightened everyone.
The university scholar pointed out angrily that Fang Yun wanted to establish his own eclectic school!
Everyone then understood that the so-called civil servant examination was Fang Yun's way of bypassing the miscellaneous scholars and selecting a group of officials who were influenced by him.
The reason why scholars in the past majored in or took elective courses on the eclectic school was that they wanted to have a smoother career in officialdom. Entering the eclectic school and becoming an official should have been the slogan of the eclectic school to attract scholars.
Now, Fang Yun announced that there was no need to learn miscellaneous things. As long as one learned what he specified, they would be able to hold an official position in Jing State, and the position would become higher and higher.
The Miscellaneous School would never allow a boy to serve as prime minister, but Fang Yun allows it!
Now, although Fang Yun has not yet gone so far as to dig up the roots of the Za family, he is already digging into their corner.
Many people do not believe that Fang Yun really established his own Miscellaneous School, because this would not only completely break off relations with the Miscellaneous School and lead to the most brutal battle for the Holy Way, but he would also have to face the wrath of the Saint.
In fact, the human race has clearly stipulated that saints do not obstruct the way.
A semi-saint will not participate in the saintly disputes below the semi-saint level, but if a semi-saint is angry, just the inner disgust will affect every aspect of a person, and will inevitably make a person unlucky everywhere, and everything he does will not go smoothly, and he may even die unexpectedly.
If a semi-saint hates someone, heaven and earth will reject him.
There is no limit to the number of saints.
Therefore, every time Fang Yun encountered danger, there would be scholars guessing that Fang Yun had offended a saint.
Precisely because the cost of completely angering the Zajia and Zongsheng was too high, almost everyone agreed that Fang Yun was using this civil service examination as a bargaining chip to force the Zajia to negotiate peace.
This civil servant examination is too important. Since it was created by Fang Yun, if Fang Yun does not agree to incorporate it into the Miscellaneous School, even if the Miscellaneous School forces the civil servant examination, it will be useless to the Miscellaneous School's holy way.
Fang Yun has always been a Confucian. Once the civil service examination is implemented, it will strengthen the Confucian doctrine. If the miscellaneous schools try to seize it by force, it would be like snatching food from the mouth of the Confucianists, and forcing the Confucianists to protect Jingguo and Fang Yun.
After getting this result, scholars from various countries felt relieved again. It meant that Fang Yun and Jingguo were out of danger, and the human race would soon return to peace and no longer engage in infighting.
