C279 Talent Selection
C279 Talent Selection
These matters had to be handed over to a trustworthy person!
And Faang Tianguang was naturally the most suitable candidate.
Of course, with Jiang Ziya's participation, it would save Faang Tianguang a lot of effort. Lin Xiao planned to let one of them be in charge of the literary test and the other in charge of the combat examinations. As for himself, he had to deal with the matters of Roaring Sky Camp and the selection of the Roaring Sky Guards. After all, this was decided by him before he set off.
Among the remaining 8,000 people, he would choose 500 of the most elite to be his personal guards.
"His Majesty is going to choose the Roaring Sky Guards!"
"Really? It would be great if I could be chosen. I heard that the benefits of the Roaring Sky Guards are even better than the Roaring Sky Camp!"
"Let's not talk about other things, this expedition in the Northern Beast Wilderness is really useful!"
"If we become His Majesty's personal guards, the benefits will be beyond our imagination!"
Hearing that Lin Xiao was going to choose the Roaring Sky Guards, the soldiers of Roaring Sky Camp were very excited. They carefully calculated the number of Demon Beasts they had hunted and the number of herbs they had collected.
After all, if they could join the Roaring Sky Guards, it would be a great honor!
While Lin Xiao was choosing the Roaring Sky Guards, Faang Tianguang and Jiang Ziya also began to arrange the Imperial Examinations. Both of them were practical talents. After Lin Xiao sent out the mission, they began to make preparations.
The first thing they did was to publicize.
This was Faang Tianguang's specialty. When he was making Prime Ministers, he was best at winning the hearts of the people. Now, this publicity had the same effect. They conveyed this matter to all the ordinary people to stimulate their interest in participating and achieved their purpose of publicizing.
It had to be said that this propaganda was very accurate.
In just ten days, the number of people registering for literary tests and combat examinationss had already exceeded eight million, shocking Lin Xiao and Faang Tianguang.
"Your Majesty, there are more than 3 million people registering for literary tests, and more than 5 million people registering for combat examinationss. Furthermore, the number of people is still increasing, and there is a chance of breaking through 10 million!"
Faang Tianguang looked at the data in his hand with some surprise. He did not know what to say.
One should know that in the entire Great Spring Dynasty, there were only about 80 million people. Now, one-eighth of the people had participated in the Imperial Examinations, which showed how interested the people were in the Imperial Examinations.
Of course, this was the first Imperial Examinations. Faang Tianguang deliberately relaxed the requirements for registration and allowed active soldiers to participate in the examinations in the combat examinations. He also did not have any requirements for the literary test.
But even so, the number of people who signed up still surprised Faang Tianguang.
It seemed that in the Great Spring Dynasty, it was not that there were too few people suitable to be officials. It was that many civilians had been living under pressure and did not have the chance to stand out!
"Very good!"
Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, as if he was very satisfied with the number of people who signed up. He looked up at Faang Tianguang and asked with a smile, "How is it? Are you sure you can organize this Imperial Examination?"
"Of course!"
Faang Tianguang patted his chest and promised Lin Xiao, "Don't worry. This time, I will definitely help you select the most suitable official for the Great Spring Dynasty!"
"I don't have to worry about you."
Lin Xiao nodded and looked at Faang Tianguang with confidence. He said to Faang Tianguang, "On the topic of literary tests, you have to control it more. Don't let the common people feel that it is unfair! I want people who can really rule a country, not those who are born into aristocratic families. Do you understand? "
"I understand!"
Faang Tianguang heard this and nodded solemnly. He continued, "By the way, last time you told me about the general model of the Imperial Examination. I discussed it with Ziya. We have formulated the process of the examination. Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes, tell me about it."
Lin Xiao only had a general impression of the Imperial Examinations. After all, a failure like him would not deliberately study the process of the Imperial Examinations. Therefore, the specific procedure and steps were left to Faang Tianguang and Jiang Ziya to discuss.
Faang Tianguang received Lin Xiao's affirmation and explained the results of his discussion with Jiang Ziya in detail.
According to the procedure they set for the Imperial Examinations, there were a total of five rounds for the Imperial Examinations.
The first round was the selection in the city. The officials appointed by Faang Tianguang would issue questions and mark the papers. Some of the officials with poor quality would be eliminated, allowing the majority of the people to advance to the second round.
The second round was a selection in the county city. There were a total of dozens of big counties in the Great Spring Dynasty, and they were divided into twenty major exam points by Faang Tianguang. The questions here were personally given by Faang Tianguang, and it was also a large-scale deletion. More than half of the people would be eliminated.
The third round was a selection in the district, and the Great Spring Dynasty was divided into three districts, namely the south, north, and middle. The exam questions were also personally selected by Faang Tianguang. This time, according to the results of the exam, the top ten thousand would be accepted.
This way, out of the three million plus examinees, only thirty thousand remained. A total of 99% of them were eliminated. It could be said to be quite cruel.
This reminded Lin Xiao of the modern college entrance examination system. That was truly a thousand troops crossing a single wooden bridge!
Lin Xiao smiled and gestured for Faang Tianguang to continue, "Then the next fourth round of the exam, do you plan to carry it out in Tianquan City?"
"That's right!"
Faang Tianguang nodded and continued, "The fourth round of the exam will involve various aspects. I will personally take the exam questions and invigilate them, and strive to be fair and just! In the end, I will still be able to recruit the top 300 people according to the ranking of the exam! These 300 people can already be considered geniuses of the Great Spring Dynasty. No matter what the situation in the fifth round is like, I will arrange some positions for them! "
Lin Xiao nodded. Three hundred people out of three million. These people were one in ten thousand. They should make good use of them.
When Faang Tianguang said this, he was also a little excited. He continued, "Among these three hundred people, we will divide them into three rankings! The first is Sky Ranking. There are only 15 people in total, and these 15 people can be directly awarded official positions. "Most of them will be given positions like City Lord and Deputy County Governor. The second is the Earth Board. There were eighty-five people in total, and these people would also be given official positions. However, compared to the Sky Ranking, their official positions are much smaller! "
"What about the last Human Ranking List?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Faang Tianguang smiled and explained, "These two hundred people can directly take the fourth round of the next year's examination. They can also take a small position in the capital and learn. I can also observe whether there are any talents among them!"
"Your idea is very good."
Lin Xiao heard this and nodded. He continued, "Thank you for your hard work! You said there were five rounds of exams. What was the last round?"
