These newspapers had been sorted in chronological order, so Jiang Keer started flipping through them from the one about the "Peace Agreement" to the back.

She flipped through the pages quickly, only looking at the headlines on the homepage.

As a result, I turned to the next day's newspaper and saw -

[The virus is back! Lingyin Valley has started research and development of an antidote! 】

Day 3: [The epidemic is spreading rapidly, Yu Wenzhi refuses the proposal to quarantine the town, and the high-end combat power of the Dasi State suffers heavy losses! ]

Day 4: [Medicine King Sun Shichang announced that he would join Lingyin Valley and work with Yiqin to develop an efficient antidote. ]

Day 5: [The antidote has been developed successfully! A large amount of antidote has been put on the market! But this antidote is not free! ]

Day 6: [The economy of Dasi State is in a great depression! Yu Wenzhi is unable to buy the antidote and is sent to the military camp, and the army's morale is broken! ]

Day 7: [Mutinies broke out in military camps across Dasi State! In order to divert the conflict, Yu Wenzhi claimed that the epidemic was a weapon that Jiang Keer had maliciously released! He demanded that the demon tribe bear all the costs of the antidote! ]

Day 8: [Yu Wenzhi tears up the peace agreement! He fights desperately to launch an all-out war against the demon tribe again! ]

Day 9: [The demon tribe easily captured the imperial capital Daxing City! ]

Day 10: [The demon race completely occupied the entire territory of Dasi Kingdom! ]

Day 11: [The demon tribe renamed Daxing City to Chang'an City. ]

Day 12: [The name of the Dasi Kingdom is changed to Tang. ]

Day 13: [All patients with the epidemic have recovered with the help of the antidote "Isatis Root Concentrated Pills".]

Day 14: [His Majesty Li Yuan decided to vigorously promote the development of the education industry and ordered all sects in the world not to discriminate based on race or identity, and to give children from poor families a chance to take the entrance exam.

At the same time, the imperial court will change the original "Cao Ju system" of appointing officials through local recommendations.

The imperial examination system was added, which allowed candidates to take the exam by themselves, and the imperial examinations were held in Chang'an every spring. This provided opportunities for ambitious people to serve the country and achieve their ambitions.

Seeing this, Jiang Keer roughly understood what was going on.

It had only been three months, and she still thought that the situation in the outside world was the same as before. At most, Yu Wenzhi had done something outrageous again.

As a result, he even missed Li Yuan's coronation ceremony.

What a pity, I missed the opportunity to witness history.

However, it is also great to be able to witness the first imperial examination in the history of China.

"All the major sects are expanding their enrollment, and have penetrated deep into local villages," Qiao Xiaoxian frowned, "It seems that it is difficult to open a martial arts school. With these big sects to choose from, who would choose a martial arts school in a small place..."

"That may not be the case," Jiang Keer sneered.

Boss Li had just ascended the throne, so naturally he hoped to be able to command the world smoothly.

However, local tyrants like these sects would not simply follow his wishes.

They had long been accustomed to abusing their power and arrogance, and refused to submit to the control of the imperial court. They were thinking of giving the new emperor a warning.

11. Admissions

Although Jiang Ke'er had no intention of opening a martial arts school, she was still very pessimistic about Li Yuan's policies.

In the early stages of implementation of any system, there will be obstacles from all sides.

The imperial examination system broke the original rules for recommending talents and changed the flow of talents, so it would naturally be resisted by the major sects.

Therefore, with regard to this year's imperial examination, all the major sects must be pretending to obey but secretly trying to find ways to hinder it in secret.

But these are all things that Lord Li should be worried about, and have nothing to do with me.

Jiang Ke'er just wants to be a leisurely rich man.

Well...but you have to get rich first.

When calculating the monthly revenue just now, Jiang Keer discovered that Qiao Xiaoxian's income had reached 101 times her own!

This doubled the pressure on Jiang Ke'er, and she had no confidence at all to say, "I want to lie on top and practice dual cultivation with you."

The last time Jiang Keer helped Uncle Wang repair the hoe was half a month ago. She wondered if she should be a little more ruthless next time and deliberately leave some flaws on the hoe.

In order to show off her excellent craftsmanship and take the opportunity to attract customers, Jiang Keer put her all into repairing the hoe.

As a result, nothing seems to be working.

There were still only a few sparrows pecking at their food leisurely at the door of the small blacksmith shop, and there was no sign of any business at all.

I heard that the descendants of Mingzhou have become very popular in Shenzhou recently, and they are living a very comfortable life.

Jiang Ke'er once taught a lot of modern scientific knowledge to the descendants of Mingzhou, allowing them to learn mechanized knowledge such as energy conversion, machine tool design ideas, etc.

After learning this knowledge, with the help of tools, you can have good productivity without powerful cultivation.

This immediately solved the employment problem for a large number of Muggles without cultivation, and also improved the quality of life of the descendants of the Netherworld.

Because of the low labor cost, the things produced by the descendants of Mingzhou are of high quality and low price, and are sold as far as Xiniu Hezhou, Nanzhan Tuzu, and the East China Sea Islands, and are well received by middle and lower-level cultivators!

However, after teaching his apprentice, the master was almost starving to death.

In order to avoid having her identity guessed, Jiang Ke'er did not take the mechanized route. The only modern thing around her was a perpetual motion machine.

However, because from time to time harsh mechanical noises such as "Gan Li Liang", "Help", "Let me stop", and "Ulu Ulu Ulu Ulu" could be heard from inside, it was obvious that its functions were not perfect enough, so Jiang Ke'er did not use this perpetual motion machine for the time being.

"Ugh……"

It was another day of sighing madly towards the street. Qiao Xiaoxian earned more money picking up shells at the beach than he did.

Last night, Qiao Xiaoxian invited me to go catching jellyfish together, but I refused.

The dilapidated walls did look much better after renovation, but the blacksmith shop still had no business.

“What a lack of taste!”

Jiang Ke'er angrily closed the door of the blacksmith shop and hung up a closed sign.

When we were closing the shop, Aunt Zhao happened to come over with a basket.

Ever since Qiao Xiaoxian helped return Uncle Zhao's fishing boat last time, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao have always come to Jiang Ke'er's shop to give her some agricultural products such as eggs and pickles to express their gratitude.

"Aunt Zhao, you are so polite..." Jiang Ke'er gratefully accepted the large bag of free-range eggs handed to her by Aunt Zhao, "You don't have to come and give us gifts all the time. We don't know how to thank you."

"Oh, it was thanks to you that Old Zhao's boat was saved last time," Aunt Zhao waved her hands quickly, "You two girls have a hard life. You are from the same village, so just keep them."

Jiang Ke'er was in mixed emotions - she had actually fallen to the point where she had to rely on the villagers for help.

"That immortal from the Dong-something Sword Sect has arrived and is recruiting disciples at the entrance of the village. Do you want to go and try?" Aunt Zhao advised. "You are so young, it would be a pity to be trapped in this small village. If you are chosen by the immortal, you won't have to live such a hard life anymore. I heard that if you are chosen, you can get a lot of salary every month!"

"what?"

This is a way to make money.

The outer disciples of large sects are not strictly managed and are basically left to roam free. They can earn resources such as spirit stones by taking on tasks within the sect.

You can definitely make money by joining a small sect and completing tasks and doing odd jobs, which is much faster than repairing agricultural machinery.

Well, since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well go and take a look. No matter if I go or not, at least I can see how far Li Lao Da has implemented the imperial examination.

"Thank you. I'll go check it out."

Jiang Ke'er trotted to put the eggs that Aunt Zhao had sent into the yard, locked the door, and ran towards the village entrance with an expectant look on her face.

From a long distance away, Jiang Keer saw the registration office surrounded by a crowd of people.

All the young men in the village ran over and formed a long line that stretched from one end of the road to the other.

Jiang Ke'er stood at the end of the team, stretching her neck to look forward.

The "immortals" who "came down to earth" from the Donglai Sword Sect had stern faces and screened the young people one by one with expressionless faces.

However, so far, no young person has caught their eye, and all have been kicked out of the registration office.

Strange, Jiang Keer remembered that there were still a few outstanding talents in the village. The Donglai Sword Sect was not a super large hidden sect, so it should not be so picky, right?

Maybe it’s not in the queue yet.

Jiang Keer shook her head and queued quietly.

Standing in front of Jiang Ke'er was a young man who was a head taller than her.

The boy's clothes were a little tattered, but they were sewn with delicate patches. It was obvious that either he was very skillful or he had a family member who was very skillful.

However, Jiang Ke'er felt the boy's face was unfamiliar; he was obviously not from the village.

Jiang Ke'er closed her eyes and practiced with the system dummy in her mind while her body mechanically followed the team.

I don't know how long I waited in line. Even the scorching sun in the sky had taken a break. Jiang Ke'er was slightly startled and opened her eyes.

It was almost my turn. The boy in front of me had just walked towards the registration office.

The person in charge of recruiting was a swordsman at the Three Talents Realm. He yawned lazily, crossed his legs, and didn't even look at the young man.

"name."

"Pei Min." said the young man.

Jiang Ke'er, who was standing by, felt like she was struck by lightning.

Pei Min? Which Pei Min?

Could it be... fate, is beyond words?

"Do you have any experience in cultivation?" asked the sword cultivator.

"I have practiced. I started practicing when I was six years old. I am now at the Yin-Yang realm."

"Oh?" The swordsman was slightly stunned.

It's rare to see a young man with experience in cultivation in this remote area, and he has reached the Yin-Yang realm in six years... It's okay. Without the accumulation of resources and guidance, it's not too bad, probably a middle-to-lower level qualification.

At least it has met the recruitment standards for outer disciples.

"Hmm..." The swordsman nodded, "Then the tuition fee is 300 magic crystals per month."

"Uh...uh? Tuition?" Pei Min was stunned.

Jiang Ke'er was also stunned.

What kind of broken sword sect dares to ask for such a high price? 300 magic crystals? It's more profitable than robbing!

According to Boss Li's policy, shouldn't each sect provide appropriate financial assistance to talented poor students and encourage them to study diligently?

Why did you collect the money instead?

Moreover, you came to this small fishing village to recruit students and deliberately announced such a high tuition fee... Aren't you just trying to humiliate them?

Seeing Pei Min standing there in a daze, the sword cultivator showed undisguised disdain on his face.

"No money? Then why are you still standing here? Get out of here!"

12. The chapter about playing the pig and eating the tiger

The sword cultivator's stern rebuke made Pei Min feel cold all over and his head buzzing.

The sword cultivator felt relaxed all over.

He wasted a whole day sitting here, just for the pleasure of being mocked by someone superior!

This bunch of dirt-legged people don't understand what true cultivation is! Strong people are made by using countless resources and countless spiritual stones. The new emperor asked the sect to accept you dirt-legged people. Except for robbing us, the original disciples' resources, you are completely useless!

You are a burden to the sect!

No, you are a burden to the entire China!

"If you don't want to accept it, then don't. Why are you so fierce?" Jiang Ke'er hurriedly came out to smooth things over with a distressed look on her face.

Pei Xing is a rare surname, and Min is an even rarer name. Jiang Keer thought about it and felt that the probability of having the same name was extremely low.

The Pei Min in front of him is most likely the little fan who works tirelessly and has contributed countless integrity points to him!

Even for those integrity points, I can't bear to see him get scolded!

"What little girl dares to teach me a lesson?" As if the sword cultivator had caught another opportunity to explode, he immediately stood up in anger, "You are a bunch of ignorant, fish-stinking mortals, you little bastards! What's wrong with scolding you? I'm giving you face by scolding you!"

The surrounding villagers were overwhelmed by the momentum and quickly retreated in fear.
