Seeing this mission, the smile on Zhang Dongyun's face disappeared.
He smacked his lips.
Want to learn literacy again?
Yes, that's right, the city is now expanding extremely greatly, and its population base is growing massively.
The illiteracy rate has naturally increased rapidly.
But now it is very difficult for the population to become literate.
Now Chang'an City includes the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty, most of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and most of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The number of people in this population can no longer be measured in units of "hundred million", but in the billions level.
To be more rigorous, it can even be measured in units of tens of billions.
With such a huge population base and the ancient background of this world, the illiteracy rate has skyrocketed.
If you want to educate such a large population, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources, but it is not that easy.
Zhang Dongyun patted his forehead.
In view of the consistent nature of the system, City Master Zhang actually made some preparations in advance.
For example, the construction and continuous expansion of the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an.
Therefore, although it is not possible to crush the tasks as soon as they are released, at least they can be completed quickly.
But over the past year or so, the expansion has been so fast that City Master Zhang has neglected cultural literacy work.
When Shen and Rong were here, they often took care of things.
But firstly, she didn't know that Zhang Dongyun wanted to complete the task urgently in the shortest possible time. Secondly, she had been chasing Chu Yaoguang in the past few months, and she should laugh that I went to the Middle Earth and was not in the city.
So refocusing on literacy tasks now gives Zhang Dongyun a headache.
Of course, there is not no good news.
The end of the second talent selection ceremony has improved Chang'an City's administrative capabilities by a lot.
Some people were intercepted directly by City Lord Zhang himself before they had time to join Tianshu Palace or the local Xingluo Department.
He mainly intercepted Confucian practitioners who had cultivated themselves, and then sent them to local places one after another to establish colleges and academies at all levels to teach and educate people.
Although this made countless scholars with political ambitions feel like they were hitting a wall, considering that this might be a new round of assessment for everyone by Chang'an, everyone still carried out the order in a down-to-earth manner.
Confucian practitioners who have reached the second level and have the magical power of Jinxinxiukou can use it to teach and educate people, and they can have very good results.
Classes given by great Confucians at the sixth level or above can have an effect that is almost like an initiation.
It's still the same as before, Zhang Dongyun doesn't ask them to teach the people any big principles, he just wants to work hard to teach the most people to read and write in the shortest time.
Some people who were accustomed to carrying private information during lectures were banned by Zhang Dongyun.
In order to prevent interested people from discovering the true scope of Invincible City, City Lord Zhang launched this literacy campaign to target the entire Eastern Xinjiang.
However, on the surface, there is a phenomenon that the closer to Chang'an, the more knowledgeable the teachers are.
In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly a manifestation of strengthening Chang'an's prestige and governance.
But in fact, only City Lord Zhang himself knew privately that this was to use good steel on the blade.
After all, Invincible City has not yet covered the entire Eastern Xinjiang.
To complete the task, in fact, as long as the current real coverage area of Invincible City is the entire Tang Dynasty and most of Qi Dynasty, and the surrounding area can complete the literacy standard.
Of course, cultural popularization must continue in places outside the scope, but there is no need to impose extremely strict standards like within the scope of Invincible City.
Being able to establish a wide range of private schools and educate people all over the world is also part of the ideal for some Confucian practitioners.
For other people who aspire to power in the officialdom, they regard this as an assessment for Chang'an, so they also try their best to complete the task.
The current educational undertakings in Chang'an City have begun to develop in full swing.
City Lord Zhang kept an eye on the illiteracy rate in the city and asked the system to accurately calculate to several decimal places.
Therefore, the current rate of decline in the illiteracy rate can be regarded as rapid as can be seen with the naked eye, changing every minute and every second.
However, it will take time to complete the task and reach the target, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.
After Zhang Dongyun assigned the tasks, he no longer paid special attention to them, but focused on his own martial arts practice.
Time passed by so slowly.
Until one day, a message suddenly came from Qidi in the north.
"Undersea mysterious jade? A large amount?"
Mr. Wu Yun, who was projected in Tianshu Hall by Zhang Dongyun, raised his eyebrows slightly.
The person in front of him was Chen Xingwen, the elder of Wutian Peak in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The other party looked solemn: "Mr. Gentleman, the leader of our sect personally went to the bottom of the North Sea to investigate and confirmed that it is the bottom of the sea. Although the quality cannot be determined, the quantity is indeed huge, but it is sealed in ice and it is difficult to break it.
.”
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun was a little moved.
Undersea black jade, like the mountain god rock, is a treasure that is beneficial to the training of warriors.
If you can get a large amount of high-quality undersea mysterious jade, the speed of your martial arts practice will definitely increase again, and you can reach the realm of the Martial Emperor in a shorter time.
However, the ice that even the ninth level martial arts master Lin Ying cannot break?
Mr. Wu Yun's expression returned to calm: "Let Li Jie go to Beihai and have a look."
Chen Xingwen, the elder of Wutian Peak, accepted the order and then went to see Li Jie, the deputy general manager of Tang Dynasty.
When Li Jie heard this, he immediately set off for Beihai without any delay.
But soon news came back that although Li Jie could shake the ice at the bottom of the sea, the power of one person was still insufficient and more people were needed to help.
Zhang Dongyun was amazed.
Li Jie has broken through to the tenth level of martial arts and achieved the status of the Martial Emperor.
With his own strength, he can almost move mountains and reclaim seas, but he can't break the ice?
Zhang Dongyun simply stopped sending others and took action himself.
Mr. Zhang landed on the head of the Tang Snake Meteorite again, and was then carried by the Meteorite through the Earth Escape, all the way north.
The meteorite is now the Demon King, and his Earth Escape speed is much faster than before.
It didn't take long for them to arrive in the northern part of Dongjiang and about to enter the North Sea.
Yue Xing has now been promoted to Demon Emperor, completely purifying his bloodline and losing all of his dragon characteristics. He is now completely indistinguishable from a true pure-blood snake.
He likes earth and fire and hates places with lots of water.
But at this moment, Zhang Dongyun was standing above him. Without a word, he plunged directly into the cold North Sea.
There are wild seas in all directions around Dongjiang, such as east, west, north, and south. If you had to pick one thing that Meteorite dislikes the most, it happens to be the North Sea.
Not only was it water, it was also extremely cold.
However, meteorites are just a natural aversion. Although the North Sea is cold, it cannot hurt him.
The scales around the meteorite opened and closed, and black mist mixed with red sparks poured out, surrounding him and Zhang Dongyun, blocking the sea water into the distance.
Around their bodies, there is no contact with any sea water.
Following the route reported by everyone on the ground, the meteorite carried Zhang Dongyun all the way to the ocean nearly ten thousand miles away from the coastline.
The tan snake dives while resisting the surrounding undercurrent.
Soon, two people could be seen under the water.
One is Li Jie, the deputy general manager of Tang Dynasty and the leader of Dahe Longmen Sect.
The other one is now the popular candidate for the general manager of Chang'an Qidi, Lin Ying, the head of Wutian Peak.
A tenth realm and a ninth realm, that is to say, the two of them can stay in this undercurrent for a long time and squeeze the dead at any time.
The rest had to wait close to land.
"Mr. Zhang."
When Li Jie and Lin Ying saw Zhang Dongyun, they both bowed respectfully.
Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly, then looked down.
There, it was all black.
It's not a pit in the abyss, but a mysterious jade on the seabed.
The jade appears pure black and flashes fluorescence slightly.
The black jade is surrounded by a thick layer of ice, like an iceberg sunk at the bottom of the sea.
Zhang Dongyun stretched out his palm, pressed it on the surface of the ice, and concentrated on sensing it.
"Sir, let Li Jie and I work together to break the ice." Tan Snake Meteorite said from the side.
Zhang Dongyun did not answer. After a moment, he smiled and said: "You two working together are not enough to break such a solid ice. No, it should be said that you are not enough to solve the opponents here."
Hearing this, Li Jie, Yue Xing, and Lin Ying were startled, and then looked around to observe carefully.
However, after observing for a long time, they found no trace of the enemy.
The two of them turned their eyes back to look at the calm Mr. Zhang, and then looked at the iceberg in front of them.
Since there is nothing around, could it be that it is right in front of us?
But they didn't realize who was hiding in the iceberg...
"In terms of true cultivation, the other party may not be as good as you, but she is in the underwater jade, and with the help of the underwater jade, she has greatly increased her magical powers." Zhang Dongyun said.
Hearing this, Li Jie and Tangshe Yuixing's eyes flashed together, thoughtfully.
"Undersea Mysterious Jade, in addition to being used by human warriors to practice martial arts, seems to be able to bless spells or magical powers targeting divine souls to a certain extent..." Tan Snake Meteorite murmured to himself.
"Illusion!" Li Jie blurted out.
As soon as this concept is born in the mind, it seems to break some invisible existence.
Lin Ying's cultivation strength was one level lower, and it was difficult to notice for a while.
At this time, Tangshe Yuixing and Li Jie looked at the iceberg in front of them, and the scene suddenly became different.
In the ice layer, at the bottom corner of the mysterious jade on the seabed, something seems to be hidden.
One person and one demon got closer and looked again, only to find that it was a huge shell.
"Mirage!"
Li Jie and Tangshe Yuxing suddenly realized.
Zhang Dongyun patted the iceberg: "Now, do it."
Li Jie immediately took out both palms and slapped the huge iceberg together.
Fire appeared in the eyes of Tang Snake Meteor Star, and the mysterious fire in the center of the earth turned into reality and landed on the iceberg.
This time, Lin Ying seemed to have some kind of invisible existence that was broken before his eyes.
Then, he saw the ice slowly disintegrating.
It turned out that everyone was under the illusion that they hit the iceberg but could not crack it. In fact, they did not touch the iceberg at all.
Now in the tenth realm, one person and one demon take action, instantly disintegrating the iceberg into pieces.
The huge shell, after shaking a few times, seemed to have airflow spurting out from the two shells.
Then the scallop broke through the sea water at a speed that was incompatible with its size, and then quickly ran away into the distance.
However, she had just rushed out, and before she could run far, a hand stretched out from the air and directly pressed the huge shell into the sand on the seabed again.
Zhang Dongyun calmly stretched out his hands and opened the shells to both sides.
