Chapter 833: Not IQ but Technology
"Did you know that the candidates who stayed in your manor for free applied for the same subject this year?"
Li Longji put down one thing and mentioned another.
"It is clear that they are not suitable for the imperial examination. Anyone who has a little confidence in his talent will not be willing to live in the manor settlement."
Li Yi grabbed a string of fried tofu and analyzed the psychology of the students.
"Are you using the reduction of benefits to distinguish people?" Li Longji seemed to understand.
"They don't want to go back to their hometown because they feel ashamed. They know that the reduction in treatment is like humiliation, but they are willing to come here. In fact, they have no other choice."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he ate a piece of tofu, waited until it was swallowed, and continued.
"They have been confused by their studies and have no confidence in themselves. If the court gives up, they will really be given up.
I took advantage of Song Jing's gift from the Ministry of Personnel to arrange for them to sue for the people for free.
After helping the people, they have a good understanding of the specialties and are willing to work hard.
Of course, they choose Mingfa for the imperial examination. At least there is a way out. What else can they do?"
"I see." Li Longji remembered what happened when he talked about these students. Li Yi said at that time that there would be arrangements.
The planning is far-reaching and the intentions are good. It is impossible to say.
Li Yi took another sip of wine: "They are not useless. Specialties are powerful. In the future, the judicial system of the Tang Dynasty will be taken out separately, and they will be used just right."
"It is also separate now." Li Longji thought of the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple.
"That is only independence in the court. If the local judiciary is independent, the local criminal sentences are still handled by the county lieutenant and the county magistrate." Li Yi shook his head.
Marble and the Censorate only target high-ranking officials. The low-ranking seventh-rank officials and the people are handled by the Ministry of Justice.
Where can we find the Ministry of Justice at the local level? Local officials have too much power.
There are no checks and balances, not to mention the provincial governors, military governors, and governors.
The county magistrate is in charge of administration, ideology, and justice.
If they are not in charge, they will be corrupt. If they are in charge, won’t they be more corrupt? Who will restrain them?
Li Longji stopped with his wine bowl: "It is the same as the disaster relief department that your majesty wants to build, independent, and the local government cannot control it? Including auditing?"
"Yes, vertical jurisdiction, but the judiciary is directly managed by your majesty, and other people have no power. The first inspection team of the Tang Dynasty can report it."
Li Yi arranged a way out for a large group of students who took the Mingfa exam.
Who said that they were not as good as the Jinshi exam? It depends on how they are used? If you say you give them power, you have power.
People trust Lijiazhuang so much and come to live here, so they have to see hope.
"Does the salary have to be a lot?" Li Longji thought of another situation.
"High salaries to maintain integrity, if your majesty doesn't give, local governments will bribe. Not only should they pay high salaries, but they should also instill ideas, like the imperial guards."
"They only spend money, not make money?"
"The people trust the court more, and the court itself makes money. When the people abide by the law and officials are corrupt and pervert the law, they take action and investigate the officials' property..."
Li Yi stopped talking, making money is fine, and they can confiscate the property.
One county confiscates a corrupt official, and all the money is back.
Li Longji took a big sip of wine: "Okay, this method is good. Can those who are good at math become auditors?"
"Yes, but you have to learn it first. My book is almost finished. It involves many problems and algorithms, including theorems, which are not easy to learn. It is much more difficult than the content of the exam."
Li Yi told the truth, the arithmetic exams now are too simple.
The junior high school graduates at that time all answered easily, and there was no difficulty.
No, not really, at that time, the junior high school graduates, or even high school graduates, probably could not answer it.
It is difficult, not in the question itself, but in the literary foundation.
For example, if there is a pond, it will be full in eight hours if it is filled with water alone.
If it is drained out alone, it will take twelve hours to drain out.
If the two are opened at the same time, how long will it take to fill the pond with three quarters of water?
The answer is very simple.
It is not the same if it is a Tang Dynasty question.
He will ask questions: A pond is full, which is half a pound. If it is drained out, the remaining drops will rotate every day. The total inflow and outflow of three seasons is compared with the year, and the same position is calculated.
Those who study literature have to think about it. A pond is filled, which is half a pound, eight taels.
If it is drained out, it is the sun rising, setting, and rising again, twelve hours.
The three seasons are compared with the year, which is three quarters. I tell you that the units are the same. Come on, write the answer.
This is not a math test. Most junior high school students will stop writing after reading the question and move on to the next question because they can't understand it.
Some high school students can understand it, but by the time they study it and answer this simple question, they have wasted a lot of time.
There is also something else: Looking at the seven floors of the towering tower from afar, the red light dots are multiplied. There are 381 lights in total, how many lights are on the top of the tower?
The real effort is put into reading and understanding the questions, which is not done by humans at all.
This is how Ming Suan is played now. Even if a child is good at math, if he has poor writing skills, he will be confused when answering questions.
Li Yi thought about it and couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing, brother Yi?" Li Longji looked at himself and found nothing wrong, and touched his face again.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just...hahahaha~~~I wrote about accounting and auditing, which is relatively simple. Generally, those who can read can understand it after careful thinking."
Li Yi spoke quickly, otherwise he felt that he couldn't eat.
"Simple is good." Li Longji thought about it and said he understood.
He found that when Li Yi talked about another routine, he and the ministers also had a headache.
"In this way, more people will be willing to take the Mingfa exam in the future." Queen Wang thought about the situation of judicial independence and analyzed.
"In fact, as long as you are promoted step by step from the local level, it doesn't matter which subject you took before.
The students have limited channels to learn, which makes it difficult to take the Jinshi exam. The main failure is in the policy essay.
Otherwise, those who can take the Mingjing exam have a deep understanding of books and memorize a lot, but they don't understand the various policies of the Tang Dynasty.
Newspapers have recently begun to add relevant content, which is written in a simple way. Not only can students understand it, but the people can also know it."
Li Yi doesn't think that you have to do something in the end no matter which subject you take.
Nowadays, students don't have the Internet, and they can't even watch the news broadcast.
The knowledge reserve and understanding of current affairs are too different. If they have a mobile phone that can access the Internet, the students of the Tang Dynasty will go crazy.
Why buy books? If you don't know, look for it on the Internet. There are many people with different opinions. Go and see if others are right.
A small thing can be divided into dozens of ideologies.
I don't have a stool at home, I want to make one, I don't need to find a craftsman, there is a video, just follow it, the first one didn't work well, the second one is improved.
There are bananas for sale in Leizhou, buy five pounds, give twenty coins, send it to Chang'an within three days, and then say nothing, let me wait until the fourth morning, bad review.
"I must make the engine, first for the ship, then the train, if it doesn't work, continue to mine and pass on the smelting technology."
Li Yi muttered something that neither Li Longji nor Queen Wang understood.
