There is such a phenomenon: in certain eras of poverty, the central government often prefers to be extravagant, building palaces, repairing gardens, and holding grand events... Generally, in addition to the ruler's own stupidity, there are other reasons. It’s nothing more than the thought of “nothing without magnificence can be regarded as majestic” is at work——

If things are done in a more graceful manner, the people under the emperor will see that their faith in the dynasty will be strengthened, people will be in line, and the civil strife will naturally subside. When the enemy people see the grand scene, they will naturally feel the power of the Kingdom of Heaven, and they will not dare to invade easily again.

As for whether this kind of shot in the arm has any effect, it is very uncertain. Xiao He built the Weiyang Palace, which will be famous for centuries, and the Summer Palace, built by Cixi, which will be notorious forever... Rong Tong doesn't know whether the decision of the Presbyterian Council will come to an end. Which result.

But she had another intuition. The Council of Elders suddenly announced such a large-scale action regardless of the actual situation, declaring war and dispatching troops and selecting Kunlun disciples in advance. It might be to cope with the change that she didn't know. They are trying to make a prosperous Junzhou out of paper for someone.

But right now she has to solve her own pressing needs first.

As the largest sect in Junzhou, Kunlun selects disciples by not just putting up a sign in front of the mountain gate and waiting for those who seek immortality to line up one by one. There are 36 million hectares of land in Junzhou, hundreds of small states in the seven great kingdoms, sixteen sects' jurisdictions, and thirty-two families' own territories. Every Kunlun branch must take action.

Organizational candidates in cities and towns collectively have their spiritual roots first tested, and staff will be sent to the mountains and countryside to serve candidates from old, young, border and impoverished areas.

Then the selectors from the inner sect of the sect will begin to travel to various places to conduct "re-examinations" and identity checks on the candidates selected for the first time. In this process, a full 90% of the candidates will be eliminated.

The lucky one-tenth who made it out of the siege were sent back to Kunlun in batches. For them, the next step was to enter the outer gate and struggle for a year, waiting for the final result of whether to stay or go.

But the work of the selectors is far from over. In order to prevent the divisions from colluding with local forces to monopolize the qualifications, Kunlun will randomly select some areas. The selectors must secretly go into the private sector to conduct inspections after the division selection is completed. See if any good seedlings have become "legacy pearls".

In the past few hundred years, these inner monks who visit privately incognito have even shouldered the tasks of monitoring major immortal families, punishing misbehavior, inspecting prisons, etc. The time can be as short as a few months to a few years, it all depends on which class. policy.

…

Even Kunlun, which was once in its heyday, couldn't carry out an additional selection process whenever it wanted to. These are all related to a large number of temporary appointments and personnel transfers. Not to mention the cumbersome procedures, the most important thing is that they are very expensive.
