Hearing these words, Zhang Dongyun almost choked on his own saliva.
He turned his attention here and saw a man talking to a young man who looked like a scholar:
"You can tell by my accent that I'm from Qinzhou Prefecture and live in the third outer city!"
The man vowed, but the scholar showed doubts on his face: "Don't fool me, there are so many people in the outer city of the third level of contentment and love, how is it possible that everyone can get the test questions? This is His Majesty's personal order
The talent selection ceremony!”
The man chuckled: "You are right, of course not everyone can get the test questions. I will give you a long experience today and let you know that my brother is a disciple of the Hanshan Sect!"
The scholar couldn't help but look serious after hearing this: "Hanshan Sect?"
The current Hanshan Sect is still just a small sect.
But their reputation is no longer limited to Qinzhou Prefecture, and has even flown out of Longbei County.
As the earliest minister to follow the dragon, and always located in the core of Chang'an, Hanshan Sect has become a famous sect that is well known to everyone in hundreds of counties in the Tang Dynasty.
Although there are many people who are unwilling to give in and think that the Hanshan Sect is just lucky, but even such people have to admit that as long as the Hanshan Sect does not fall into a big trap in the future, it will definitely soar into the sky and become a famous sect.
Nowadays, many people from Qinzhou Prefecture and even Longbei County have traveled thousands of miles to come to the Hanshan Sect to become their disciples.
It is precisely for this reason that the Hanshan Sect is hated by people.
"My brother is not only a disciple of the Hanshan Sect, but also serves as an official in the Chang'an Center and Tianshu Palace."
The man asked proudly: "Do you know Tianshu Palace?"
The scholar nodded: "Of course I know that the selection ceremony will be held in Tianshu Hall."
The man smiled and said: "Then you should know by now that my test questions can't be fake, right?"
The scholar was still a little skeptical.
A middle-aged woman next to him said quickly: "What Mr. said is definitely not true. I finally invited Mr. back, so don't be ignorant."
"Mother, I understand." The scholar first comforted his mother, and then looked at the man: "It's not that I can't trust you, but in this case, wouldn't your brother have to bear a huge responsibility?"
"Don't worry, if you don't tell me, no one will know."
The man looked a little more fierce: "But if the news leaks, it must be you who leaked the secret! Then my brothers won't be able to get along well, and you won't be able to get away from it either!"
After hearing what he said, the scholar actually believed it.
However, I still hesitated.
His mother believed him 100% and was eager to see her son succeed. She kept urging the scholar to agree.
Zhang Dongyun looked down at all living beings and couldn't help but shake his head slightly after seeing this scene.
What that man said was half true and half false.
It's true that he is from Qinzhou Prefecture.
He does have a younger brother who is a disciple of the Hanshan Sect, which is correct.
His brother is not only a disciple of the Hanshan Sect, but also serves as an official in the Tianshu Palace in Chang'an City, which is even more true.
No matter how others check, they can verify his identity.
There's just one small problem.
His brother did not reveal the problem to him.
Xu Xingzhi and Wan Li, two great scholars in the seventh realm, were on guard, and all their thoughts were focused on this matter. If such a big mistake happened, they could pack up and go home together.
What's more, although the disciple of Hanshan Sect works as an errand in Tianshu Hall, he has other errands to take care of and has no contact with the selection ceremony at all.
He works hard as an errand and never mentions anything about his work to his family.
The man in front of me is just using his own name to show off and cheat.
Afterwards, if the other party finds out that he was deceived, he may not be able to go to him to settle the score.
If things really get serious, he will push back and refuse to admit it.
Zhang Dongyun looked at this scene, shook his head slightly and sighed.
When he was in the Daming Palace, with a wave of his hand, the man disappeared from where he was.
The scholar and his mother were both stunned on the spot, completely confused.
And this man was thrown into the Palace of Heavenly Punishment, and his brother was asked to go and fetch him.
When the liar saw this scene, he didn't know that he had hit a brick wall.
It is possible that some Chang'an masters who had passed by could not see it and dealt with him.
Although he didn't know who the other party was, how could he dare to have revenge?
You can only consider yourself unlucky.
When his brother comes to fetch him, he will be punished in the same way.
Zhang Dongyun did it casually and couldn't help but feel angry and funny.
Things like this really happen everywhere.
Just as he gradually put this matter behind him, he discovered that there were countless similar things among the people.
"I have a panacea here that is only sold in the second level city!"
"I have a way to help your whole family move into the third level city!"
Zhang Dongyun was speechless when he saw this.
He built a layer of city walls, and even if he didn't set any rules specifically, layers of differentiation would naturally form.
Everyone in the world holds the idea that the further inward the better.
Zhang Dongyun had already anticipated this.
However, many people also use this to make money.
He has strict rules and no one openly seeks money, and even trying to exploit loopholes is difficult.
On the contrary, there are all kinds of scammers emerging in endlessly.
The scope of Chang'an's control expanded rapidly, and the entire territory of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was brought under its control.
This brings up a problem.
The people in Chang'an earlier were full of a sense of superiority when facing the people of the original Eastern Tang Dynasty in other places.
Although there were no explicit rules that allowed them to take advantage, the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty also felt like they were a head short.
Therefore, many people in various parts of the Eastern Tang Dynasty would rather leave their hometowns and hope to move to Chang'an.
Everyone has the same idea in mind.
Once you enter that city, you will become a master.
Regarding the emergence of similar ideas, Zhang Dongyun expressed his understanding, but was not cold to it.
The people of Chang'an City had a sense of superiority, which he could indeed indulge in before.
In this way, the cohesion and centripetal force of the people of Chang'an will be increased.
At the same time, more people from all over the Eastern Tang Dynasty were attracted to defect to Chang'an.
But now that the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty has come under the rule of Chang'an, people's previous concepts need to be adjusted.
It is necessary to adjust the sense of superiority that people within the city wall have over people outside the city wall to the sense of superiority that Chang'an people have over non-Chang'an people.
In this way, talented people from other six dynasties were attracted to defect to Chang'an.
While Zhang Dongyun was thinking, he projected Mr. Wu Yun and summoned Xu Xingzhi and Wan Li.
After the meeting, Xu Xingzhi first apologized: "Students have always been concerned about fraud and tried to prevent it, but now a pure fraud has appeared. It is because the students did not think carefully before clicking. We will step up efforts to prevent similar things from happening. Please
Don’t worry, sir.”
Mr. Wu Yun nodded slightly, and then said: "You did a good job, but it was not for this reason that I called you two here today."
Xu Xingzhi and the two men hurriedly bowed together: "Sir, please give me your instructions."
"In the process of selecting candidates, the first priority is fairness and justice. However, students from Chang'an Academy are inherently advantageous in this regard. For the people outside Chang'an, it is unfair."
Mr. Wu Yun said: "Before the talent selection ceremony, students from all over the country should be given corresponding guidance, so that everyone can compete on the same level."
Xu Xingzhi and Wan Li were slightly surprised.
When it comes to selecting talents, it seems that the talents you have taught yourself are the most suitable at present.
However, being able to educate more and more sentient beings is something they both long for.
"I follow your instructions, sir." They both responded in unison.
Mr. Wuyun nodded slightly.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun also nodded with satisfaction.
After reminding Xu Xingzhi and Wan Li, City Lord Zhang turned his attention to scanning the system's coverage area again.
The Invincible City currently covers an extremely vast world.
Zhang Dongyun found it quite interesting to look closely at all living beings one by one.
There was a sudden movement in his heart.
At present, the system has covered a very wide area.
Although the population in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty is not as dense as that in the interior, the current population in this land is also an extremely large number.
From such a large population base, there should be some talented people with outstanding spiritual talents, right?
Although most of the talented people have been recruited by various sects and academies, there should still be fish that slip through the net.
Zhang Dongyun now has the Invincible City system and can easily judge whether a person has a talent for cultivation.
Of course, the master will lead you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.
Those with talent may not necessarily become successful.
But at least the opportunity should be given to them and not wasted.
Zhang Dongyun thought so and closed his eyes.
Then, one star after another lit up in the darkness.
Most of the stars are dim.
Zhang Dongyun added restrictive conditions for his own search this time.
Find people who have not yet started to practice, but have the talent to practice.
Mainly to salvage relics.
However, facts have proven that people with outstanding talents basically already have a master.
Therefore, most of these stars are dim.
But it wasn't without Zhang Dongyun's surprising discovery.
There is a star that is extremely large and extremely bright.
Compared with the dim stars around it, it is like the sun in the daytime, making the surrounding stars not shine.
Zhang Dongyun opened his eyes and realized that he was already beside the other party.
However, his attention was first attracted by other people's conversations.
"No matter who becomes the king, we will still be the masters."
In a small city under the jurisdiction of Liaozhou Prefecture in Qingyue County, there was a fat middle-aged man in Jinyi who was drinking and laughing.
The people next to him echoed, "That's right, this Yinchuan City cannot do without you, Commissioner Tang. Whenever I come down to collect rent, I have to rely on your help."
When Tang Yuan heard this, he waved his hand: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."
Having said that, the smile on his face became even stronger.
Another person next to him laughed and said: "Isn't Chang'an going to hold a talent selection ceremony? I heard that it is different from the previous imperial examinations. The test is not the writing skills, but the ability to do things. If you want to compare this in Yinchuan City, who can compare with Tang Yuanwai?
What about you?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Tang can give it a try this time, maybe he can win a city lord back." Everyone said one after another.
"Don't dare, don't dare, I will end up becoming a rich man. The city lord doesn't dare to think about it." Tang Yuanwai declined with a smile, but his eyes kept flashing, and he was obviously very excited.
