I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 217, Datong

Nanyu, Jianye.

The large square in the center of the city used to be the core of the Zhen family of the Banxian family. Later, Nanyu broke through Jianye and took it into the state.

The people in the city have heard that a "commercial street" will be built here, but it has been so long, and it has not been opened to the public until today.

In addition, today's scientific examination results were released, and Fang Rui announced the important event, so countless people flocked here.

However, when these people came here, they were surprised to find that some places in the square were shrouded in fog and covered up.

……

An inn room facing the square.

Yu Yunlan was dressed in a moon-white dress, which set off her demeanor to be more spotless, cold as a fairy, standing in front of the window at this time, looking out: "Today's events will definitely cause a sensation in the world."

"Yes, this will be a day that will be remembered in history." Li Zhao sighed softly, standing side by side in casual clothes.

She didn't show up because today was more about the affairs of the underworld, and it was Fang Rui's stage alone. If she went there, she would be covered by the halo of the other party, so she simply watched from the sidelines.

"Where is uncle, hasn't he come yet?"

Beside her, Xin Xueer stood on her toes and looked out.

……

Many ministers of the DPRK and China came in their personal capacities.

In fact, the announcement of the scientific examination results was nothing to them. What Fang Rui was really concerned about was the big event that Fang Rui was about to announce.

"Xun Shoufu, what a coincidence!" Xiao Cheng greeted.

"It's a coincidence that Mr. Xiao Ge is also here."

Xun Bai asked, "I don't know Mr. Xiao Ge, but he knows what the Empress is going to announce?"

"Xun Shoufu doesn't even know, how can I know?"

Xiao Cheng shook his head.

Xun Bai was originally the chief assistant, but he was implicated by the Tang family a few days ago. On the other hand, he was the first to join Li Zhao. Recently, he has a faint upper hand in the court struggle, and he is likely to replace him.

For scholars like them, it is a temptation that is difficult to refuse to become the chief assistant, to display their political ambitions, and to leave a name in history.

……

Military generals such as Guan Zhi and Lu Fei also arrived, but in comparison, there were not as many intrigues as civil servants.

They came here more to see Fang Rui.

……

In addition, the people from Zixiao Pavilion brought by Yu Yunlan also came to witness Nanyu's first scientific examination results, and wanted to know the important things Fang Rui said as soon as possible.

This is the political sense necessary for a person in the officialdom.

……

In the square, many scholars also came, in groups of three or four, chatting with each other, anxiously waiting for the announcement of the results.

Jiang Chen, Wang Chong, and Li Shiwen were among them.

"Brother Wang, why should you be nervous? You answered the question before, and Brother Wang has almost no mistakes. He must be on the list, maybe he is still in the top three."

Jiang Chen joked: "If you win the top three, Brother Wang will invite me and Brother Li to dinner."

"Yes!" Li Shiwen squeezed out a smile and said the same thing.

"Top three? I dare not think about it."

Wang Chong shook his head again and again.

Although he is confident that he did well in the exam, he dare not underestimate the people of the world.

'Well, compared to Brother Jiang and Brother Wang, I don't have the self-confidence to be on the list. I just hope that the simple questions in the back will give me more points, so that I can be at the bottom of the list. '

Li Shiwen prayed secretly, hoping for a miracle to happen.

He knew that he did poorly in the exam, but he heard that many people did even worse in the exam, so he had a glimmer of hope that he would be on the list.

……

More people came, but they were common people who joined in the fun. Looking at it from a height, it was really a vast, crowded area.

"The results of the scientific examination are released today, look at those scholars who have come."

"As for this exam, I know how to answer both exam questions, and I will try it next time."

"Haha, Bai Laosan, you don't know even a few Chinese characters, and you still want to take the scientific examination and become an official? It's a dream!"

"Look over there, what's covered by the fog?"

"Who knows, just watch the excitement!"

……

In the midst of everyone's attention, Fang Rui finally appeared belatedly. He didn't show any abnormalities.

With his current status, he doesn't need those.

"Now announce the results of the scientific examination!" Such a clear voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Is this our Taishang?"

"It turns out that the Taishang presided over it himself. This is his first public appearance, which shows that he attaches great importance to scientific research."

"Look, the list is released!"

……

Fang Rui waved his sleeves.

Swish!
A golden bulletin appeared.

No.1: Wuzhou Jianye Suning. (portrait)

No.2: Yizhou Zhongchang, Wang Chong. (portrait)

……

No.30 Six: Tongbai, Jiang Chen, Kangzhou. (portrait)

……

A series of names emerged, together with the portraits, except for the top three which were golden, the rest were all silver, floating in the air.

……

"Brother Wang, you are the second place in the list, and you were indeed selected by me!"

Jiang Chen let out an exclamation, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

"Congratulations, Brother Wang!" Li Shiwen suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart, and congratulated him.

"Brother Jiang, look, you've been hit too!"

Wang Chong said, pointing to the latest figure that appeared.

"Haha, Tongxi, let's wait for Brother Li."

"Brother Li, you are probably a little behind."

"Too!"

Li Shiwen nodded slightly reservedly. Wang Chong and Jiang Chen were on the list two times in a row, which also gave him an illusion. It seemed that the selection requirements for this scientific examination were not so high.

In particular, the further back, the stronger this expectation.

However, until all the 500 people list appeared, Li Shiwen's name did not appear. Obviously, Sun Shan lost his name.

This made him embarrassed, especially in the voices of "Hey, I've been hit" from time to time, which is called a social death.

Jiang Chen and Wang Chong couldn't be comforted either, saying those words was more like showing off.

……

"Young people are so energetic!"

Looking at the many scholars below, Fang Rui was either ecstatic, ashamed, or weeping...he had different reactions, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

In fact, he released the rankings for the scientific examination this time, just to add to the head, the real thing to do has not started yet.

"quiet!"

With an order, Fang Rui made the audience quiet again, and pointed to a certain place.

Swish!
A cloud of mist dissipated, and in the original place, a huge black stone tablet appeared, 33 feet high, facing south from north.

On the back are densely engraved countless names, which are all the soldiers who died before and after the founding of Nanyu.

On the front, there are engraved inscriptions.

The soldiers who died in the Battle of the Southwest Three States are immortal!

The soldiers who died in the battle of Nanyu's founding of the country are immortal!

The 18 four soldiers who died before and after the founding of Nanyu are immortal!

This is Nanyu's heroic monument.

Just looking at it, there is a kind of thickness that rushes to the face, which makes people look solemn.

……

Yu Yunlan and Li Zhao had known about the Monument to Heroic Spirits for a long time, but when they saw it now, they were still shocked and stood there in awe.

……

Guan Zhi, Lu Fei, etc., all the generals who came today stood up with solemn expressions.

……

Xun Bai, Xiao Cheng, and other civil servants who came today also closed their eyes to mourn, and the precarious years of gold and iron horses emerged before their eyes.

……

Numerous scholars, the joy of those who got on the list were overwhelmed, and the sadness of those who failed the list was suppressed. At this moment, they all looked at the monument of heroic spirits in shock.

……

And the common people, who were originally joining in the fun, only felt that something was pressing on their hearts, and some even began to sob softly.

"My son's name, I guess it's on it?"

"The country has not forgotten these people!"

"This is a good time, fighting for the country, the country remembers it, not to mention the land that was allocated before, now there are still officials who come to visit from time to time!"

……

Fang Rui let these people vent, and after a full cup of tea, he regained his movement and stretched out his finger again, another cloud of mist dissipated, and a temple appeared.

"This is the Town God's Temple!"

His voice resounded in everyone's ears again: "The world is undergoing great changes, and there are many catastrophes in the world. In order to protect the peace of the world, I have opened up the way of incense and fire gods to stabilize the world."

"From now on, with the center of Jianye, we will radiate and build the Temple of the City God and the Temple of the Earth... The gods of incense and fire are in charge of exorcising evil spirits, praying for rain, fertilizing the fields, and delivering children. People use incense to worship, and the gods bless well-being."

"The officials of Nanyu, military generals with meritorious service, civil servants with political achievements, can be canonized after death, and become Yin soldiers and civil officials... The soldiers who sacrificed for the country before today, their meritorious deeds are recorded in the book, and the descendants of Mengyin's family..."

"Now, please, God of City God, start canonization."

Whoosh!
The City God clone appeared.

No more mediocre than this deity, his whole body is like a brilliant sun, with the aura of incense and gods overwhelming all directions, and even a super existence feels difficult to breathe.

This is naturally a special effect secretly added by the deity, so that the avatar can collect faith.

"Huang Chao, you were one of the five tiger generals of Nanyu during your lifetime, and you have made great contributions... I now confer on you the title of Yin soldier battalion commander, commanding a battalion of Yin soldiers, and your divine power is ten thousand taels of silver!"

"Niu Zhuang, you are a soldier of Nanyu, and you have made great achievements in your life... I will confer on you the title of Yin Soldier Commander, with supernatural power and ten taels of money!"

"Qi Jiang, you are an official of Nanyu, and you have made great achievements in your lifetime... I will confer on you as a record official, with supernatural power and a lot of money!"

……

"No, I have seen the city god!"

A flash of light flashed on the bodies of all the souls, each showing armor and official uniforms, and the souls were solidified.

The canonization in this scene was obviously Fang Rui himself, who cast a spell to make these souls appear in daylight and appear in front of the world.

"Great!"

The City God avatar nodded in satisfaction, rolled up his sleeves, and rolled these subordinates into the City God Temple.

……

Such a scene completely stunned the civil and military officials of Nanyu and all the people present.

What did they hear?What did you see?After death, people become souls, but they can still live?Even, become a god of incense?

This is the rhythm of piercing the sky!

……

Xun Bai and Xiao Cheng glanced at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes. So, with their merits, they can become incense gods after death?

This is a huge benefit!What a blessing!

But instead, they just thought of more. Such benefits can only be enjoyed after retiring safely. If they break the law and get dismissed halfway, it will be over.

It is foreseeable that Fang Rui's display of the skill of "replacing the heavens and enshrining the gods" will definitely greatly refresh Nanyu's government.

……

"Hey, the big yellow beard died the day before yesterday. I went to see him, but I didn't expect him to be alive and become a god of incense and fire?"

Lu Feiweng said: "It's really lucky, I don't know what position I can get when I die in the future?"

"You don't need to worry, Brother Lu, the lord will definitely have arrangements for us."

Guan Zhi strokes his beard.

The City God and Fang Rui have the same appearance, obviously they have a lot to do with each other.

He worked for Fang Rui during his lifetime, and he should continue to work after his death. If it were someone else, what would happen to him with his arrogant personality?

……

Those old officials in Zixiao Pavilion, thinking about this matter, nodded slightly one by one.

Naturally, they are well aware of the catastrophe of change, but they never expected such a miraculous method to exist.

……

The most surprising thing is that Jiang Chen and Wang Chong are among the top scholars.

He had just passed the exam and became an official reserve, so he had this great opportunity, so he didn't have to worry about what happened after his death.

And those who lost their names were extremely disappointed, but immediately gritted their teeth secretly, determined to work harder in the next scientific examination.

It is conceivable that the competition for scientific examinations will become more and more fierce in the future.

……

As for those ordinary people, they were all so shocked that they couldn't speak when they learned of such a secret, and they couldn't think of anything too far away. At this moment, they are all full of 'shit'.

……

"Everyone,"

Fang Rui opened his mouth, suppressing the unspoken comments: "In Nanyu, I have seen veterans being bullied and had no way to redress their grievances; Officials are corrupt and pervert the law, exploiting the common people."

Speaking of which, he paused.

'In the past, I was not strong enough to do anything, but now, I can do what I really want to do without affecting my own interests. '

Fang Rui thought to himself, bathed in the golden sunlight, raised his hands high, and said loudly: "I have a goal, to let our heroes no longer bleed and cry, let them be admired in life, and enjoy the incense of the world after death, and prepare for it." Be honored!"

Off the court, the families of countless veterans, with tears in their eyes, raised their heads proudly and straightened their chests.

Rao Guan Zhi, Lu Fei and other generals also had red eyes.

……

"I have a goal, to make Nanyu more fair, not absolutely fair, but relatively fair, to establish a contribution system for the whole people, no matter whether you are an official, a farmer, or a businessman, as long as you contribute to Nanyu, you will be rewarded accordingly .”

"According to personal contribution, we will give matching treatment, and those who have made no contribution to the country will not have any super-national treatment!"

For old and young people like Li Shiwen, their necks shrank subconsciously.

In the eyes of more people, there is light, as if a flame is burning.

……

"I have one goal, to fight corruption, dig deep, and pursue accountability indefinitely. Even if they become incense gods after death, they will still be beaten, and let them be cursed by the people, and they will be stigmatized for thousands of years!"

Off the court, most officials have a clear conscience, but a few officials dodge their eyes.

And all the people clenched their fists excitedly and waved upwards.

……

"I have a goal. In the land of Nanyu, every Chinese can be bathed in light and find their own place. They can take care of their children, depend on their old age, learn from them, and earn from their work... …with our own hands, create a world of Datong that truly belongs to us!"

The sound fell, and the audience exploded directly.

The common people shouted long live, massive luck rose, and the Golden Dragon of Nanyu National Luck suddenly swelled a circle, soaring into the sky, making the world change color.
