Qin Wangfu, now the power center of the entire Jin Dynasty has quietly shifted from the imperial palace to Qin Wangfu.

Although Ji Changan was not officially canonized as the prince, everyone in the court understood that this matter had almost become a fact.

The emperor of the Jin Dynasty also let go of many government affairs, so all those government affairs poured into Qin Wangfu.

Ji Changan now needs to form his own cabinet, but it is a pity that he did not summon too many counselors.

However, with the three Confucianists, it is no problem to handle some government affairs for the time being.

Although the three of them do not have any positions now, I believe that they will soon sit in the corresponding positions.

Ji Changan is still a hands-off shopkeeper most of the time.

"Your Highness, the test questions for this imperial examination are ready." Zhang Liang walked out of the staff study of Qin Wangfu and took out four documents.

Ji Changan stretched out his hand and read the test paper written on rice paper with a faint scent of ink.

As for whether Zhang Liang, who was both the question setter and the examiner, would encounter any unexpected events, Ji Changan was not worried.

Because the questions this time were not regular exams, but real events.

They were assessed from three aspects, namely "Practical Policy Theory", "Economic Mathematics", and "Military Strategy".

Among them, "Practical Policy Theory" examined how to deal with the corruption case of the Ministry of Revenue and how to prevent such things from happening in the future.

"Economic Mathematics" examined how the court could obtain more taxes and more money.

"Military Strategy" examined the strategies for border defense and military training.

Ji Changan flipped through the many small topics under the three major topics and nodded: "Those examinees have already arrived."

"The court has already arranged it. Those who have no accommodation will be arranged at the post station, with unified food and accommodation."

Zhang Liang nodded. With the financial resources of the Jin Dynasty, it was not easy to get so much money from the Ministry of Revenue.

But now it is different. The Ministry of Rites seized a lot of money from the family, not to mention this imperial examination, even if there are ten or a hundred more, it may not be spent.

And these are the ill-gotten gains that the Ministry of Rites obtained by harming the imperial examination students, so now some of them are spent on these students.

It is not a problem at all, and no one has any reason to object.

"Put these test questions down and give them time to think." Ji Changan said again.

And Zhang Liang nodded and quickly arranged it.

Since it is this kind of question, as long as a reasonable solution can be proposed, the so-called consultation and discussion are not worth mentioning at all.

After all, this thing is like a math problem. If you can't do it, then no matter how many people come, it will be difficult to have an effect.

And the position given this time is also high enough. If someone can answer the right answer, it will not be sold at all.

And if you can really buy the right answer, then there will be a palace examination at that time, and it depends on whether you can pass it.

This is also a little bit of a disadvantage for practicality. Ji Changan wants to recruit people who can do things immediately this time.

In addition to the three Confucian masters, other Confucian disciples will also participate in Ji Changan's subordinates.

There are still some differences between Confucianism in the Warring States Period and the early Qin Dynasty and Confucianism a thousand years later.

Even if Confucius saw the development of Confucianism a thousand years later, there might be good aspects.

Just like when Wang Yangming's "heart is reason" completely internalized moral judgment, Confucius opposed the excessive subjectivity of the dissolution of "ritual", but also appreciated its emphasis on subject consciousness.

But the system of combining politics and religion established by the "rejection of hundreds of schools" in the Han Dynasty would be heartbroken when it witnessed the alienation of the "three cardinal guides and five constants" into the theoretical basis of hierarchical oppression.

Even Confucius would say, "accept a small stick, but walk away if it's a big stick" and "the ruler treats his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the ruler with loyalty". Mencius said more bluntly, "If the ruler treats his ministers like dirt, then the ministers will treat the ruler like an enemy".

But later, the Confucianists came up with the concepts of "if the ruler wants the minister to die, the minister has to die" and "starving to death is a small matter, but losing one's integrity is a big matter".

Did the Confucianists of the future really achieve "a gentleman is not an instrument" and "harmony but difference"?

The Confucianists of two thousand years ago may not be advanced and open enough, but they are certainly more advanced than the Confucianists of a thousand years ago.

But most of the Confucianists of the Warring States and Qin Dynasty were still the most traditional followers of Confucius.

Although the political ideas of each of them may not be perfect, they will not cause disgust to others.

----------------

In the post station, all the students who took the reference received three questions, which they could discuss and check information, but they needed to be tested and defended in the hall.

If you can't self-consistent with what you wrote, it's probably not a good thing.

andYou can answer all of these questions or just one of them. There is no difference.

Some rich kids took the questions and went to many teachers, even the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.

But unfortunately, many bachelors of the Hanlin Academy could not answer these questions, and those who could answer them quickly took the test questions and did them themselves.

And the students at the post station saw the assessment method this time, some were happy and some were worried.

"Why is His Highness' assessment this way? Then won't the things I prepared before be useless?"

"Yes, thinking that no one can answer these questions, I am afraid that most people will return empty-handed."

...........

Most of the students were confused and did not expect such a result.

And some smart people were secretly happy. After all, this is not a score line test, but a selective test. No matter how difficult or simple the questions are, it doesn't matter.

Their opponents are not the test papers, but the people around them, and the number of promotions is always fixed.

As long as they can do better than others, it will be fine.

In this way, some people huddle together for warmth, while others understand that if they huddle together for warmth, how can they be selected if they give the same answers?

All students are different, but time flies, and no one wants to give up this opportunity to ascend to heaven.

After ten days, these students enter the Imperial Examination Hall, write down their answers, and then others copy them, and then hand them over to some retired old officials found by Ji Changan to mark the papers.

Under the Imperial Examination Hall, the body of the Minister of Rites was buried under the bluestone steps of the Imperial Examination Hall. Anyone who enters and leaves can step on the body of the Minister of Rites.

Naturally, the students who enter are not afraid. After all, the Great Jin is not peaceful, and most people have seen too many corpses, not to mention the corpses of corrupt officials.

Passing by here, they will spit.
