Candidates were introduced to different examination areas one by one and waited in their own booths. Each candidate was nervous and novel. They had never encountered such an assessment in their life. When they entered the examination room, no one searched them and they did not need to bring anything with them. Any pen, ink, paper and inkstone are just direct suggestions. Everyone should go empty-handed and enter the examination room. In the examination, men and women are treated equally.
Anyone with talent can come for reference.
As long as they pass the assessment, even a woman can still be an official, can still be in charge of the Nine Divisions, or even become the lord of a city. It is probably very rare for a woman to be the lord of a city in other worlds. It’s not that I look down on women, but there are some things that inherently put women at a disadvantage compared to men. Of course, women also have areas where they are inferior to men. After all, strong women are in the minority.
No matter what, Zhong Yan gave them the same opportunity.
Possibility of equal competition.
Whether they can catch it or not depends entirely on their own abilities. If they can't catch it, then they can blame others. If they catch it, they can naturally change their own destiny and embark on a completely different path. From then on, destiny would take a different direction.
This made many female nuns very excited.
Ruyue Yinping went directly to the war zone, while Zhu Zhuzhu went to the civil affairs area. Each had their own choices and conducted assessments based on what they had learned. Of course, if you have other talents, you can go to the twelfth examination area, which is a special examination area called Baiyi District. That area is for testing various cultivation arts. You have a skill and can have special attainments in a certain cultivation arts.
Naturally, you can choose this test area, but this test area does not count towards the normal assessment. Once you are confirmed to have the corresponding skills, you can use it to enter Tiangong Pavilion and become a craftsman, and you can also obtain the corresponding identity here. Prove that you have the qualifications to open a shop in the territory and sell your own refined items.
Therefore, among the mainstream eleven examination areas, this examination area is considered a special category.
In the entire Gongyuan, the number of candidates soon reached tens of thousands. In the fantasy worlds that had been integrated earlier in the territory, many people naturally wanted to make progress. This time, the imperial examination will demote talents in an eclectic way. For those who are aspiring It's an unprecedented opportunity.
Naturally, I won’t give up the idea of giving it a try.
There is no shortage of talented people among the people, but there is no way to rise and no chance to stand out. Many of the celebrities in history may not be really better than the weird people in the folk. They just know how to read. In fact, there are too many children from poor families in the folk who have no way to rise. In the end, they can only sink and swim in the secular world. There is no threshold for this assessment. As long as you think you are qualified for a certain position, you can come and try.
No examination of the Four Books and Five Classics, no examination of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Only practical ability is tested. If you are really talented, you will naturally stand out. Children from poorer families can still get a chance to compete fairly.
This is the greatest fairness Zhong Yan can give. Absolute fairness does not exist.
The same rice can nourish thousands of kinds of people, and everyone is different.
Tens of thousands of candidates are not too many. In the real prosperous times, even hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of candidates are foreseeable. That's the real spectacle.
Ding ding ding! !
As a bell rang in the tribute courtyard.
"The assessment has officially begun. All students, there is no need to resist. Your minds are about to enter the assessment space and conduct real-life assessments. I hope everyone can fully display their strength and demonstrate their abilities."
Along with the sound of the bell, a voice rang in the Gongyuan.
That was the voice from Li Henian.
He is in charge of Hongru Palace, which is his responsibility to teach and educate people and cultivate talents. The first imperial examination was held this time, and the position of examiner was given to Li Henian. He was famous all over the world, and his reputation was naturally very high. No one would have any objections to presiding over the imperial examination. It was the responsibility of Hongru Palace to select talents for the territory. At this moment, Not only Li Henian, but also many personnel in Hongru Hall are involved and will enter the assessment space at the same time. They will specifically record the process and results of their respective assessments.
The final assessment scores will be calculated by them.
brush! !
As an invisible spiritual power covered the entire Gongyuan, the candidates in the Gongyuan immediately felt that they were in a trance almost at the same time. In an instant, they appeared in a brand new area, and the environment suddenly changed.
For example, Lu Jiantong, in a daze, appeared in a completely new environment.
"Tofu, fresh tofu, white and tender tofu."
"Tanghulu, sour and sweet candied haws, only costs ten cents."
"Come, come, come, clear soup noodles, delicious clear soup noodles, one penny a bowl, delicious and filling."
Lu Jiantong felt bursts of shouts filled with the smell of fireworks coming from his ears. This smell made people feel alive among them.
"It feels so real. This aura is completely like a real folk scene. It seems that I am in a special illusion. I don't know how real the illusion can be. How will I test it this time?"
I secretly marveled in my heart, and then looked at the surrounding situation. When I looked at it, I found that I was beside a road. Ahead is a huge mansion. It can be seen that the mansion is extremely noble, and its location and furnishings are all very particular.
Looking at the architecture of the houses, it is obvious that this place is from ancient times.
The clothes of the people on the surrounding streets also made Lu Jiantong confirm this again.
At this time, the government servant standing in front of the government office saw Lu Jiantong and immediately stepped forward and said, "But Mr. Lu is the new lord of Changning City, Lu Jiantong."
"It is this city lord."
Lu Jiantong held an appointment document in his hand. The document clearly stated his appointment as city lord. He understood that this was the proof that he came here to take office. The proof of identity was the voucher to start the assessment. If it was lost, then this assessment , it will end in failure on the spot.
"Great, City Lord Lu, please come in. There are still many things in the city waiting for the City Lord to deal with."
After the yamen officer heard and read the documents, he immediately led Lu Jiantong in with a smile on his face.
"Okay, please come inside."
When Lu Jiantong heard this, he smiled slightly, nodded in agreement.
The city lord's duty is to have an overview of the overall situation. He estimates that personnel from the nine divisions in the city will soon arrive to take up their posts. Candidates like him are all choosing corresponding positions. Obviously, it is obvious that a city is handed over to them to manage and develop. If the development is good, there will naturally be benefits for everyone, and the possibility of passing the assessment will be greatly increased. If the development is not good, the people in the city will not be able to make a living, and it will be difficult to stand out. Naturally, it also means that they do not have the corresponding talents at all, and it is only normal to fail.
Sure enough, not long after, nine other colleagues arrived to take up their posts.
Start entering the Jiusi Yamen. Preside over the city's operations.
"Everything here is really like reality. All the people and all the environment are no different from reality. There is no flaw in it. Every plant and tree in the city and every common person has different emotions. This is A real world."
Lu Jiantong soon discovered that everything here was no different from reality. In fact, no falsehood could be seen, which meant that where he was was the reality. All people have flesh and blood, their own emotions, their own selfishness, and their indelible desires. He was no different from people in the outside world. He knew about the illusion, but it was completely beyond his imagination that the illusion could be so real.
"The background of the Tianfu leader is indeed extraordinary. We must give our best in this assessment."
Lu Jiantong felt awe-struck in his heart, and he was even more determined. No matter what, he must stay in the territory, as there is a broader future here.
Cities like this can be said to be everywhere in the imperial examination space at this moment. Each city is either similar or different, but there is generally not much difference. It is as if the same city has been copied thousands of times. , providing many students with assessments.
A famous city lord took office, and a famous Jiu Si took his place.
At this moment, in the sky above these cities, one can see the examiners holding pens and papers, silently recording.
Every move, every command, and action is the basis for scoring.
Now, in the void, Zhong Yan and Li Henian stood together, looking at the cities, which were the examination rooms.
"The scene in the city is really like a dream, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false. I seem to have seen the original Renjia Town and Nanchang Mansion. The people inside are all lifelike, and it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false. The prince of the mansion is really good at it. "
Li Henian looked at the cities below and sighed.
If they didn't know it in advance, I'm afraid no one would think that the environment in front of them would be fake. It is no different than the real thing. Inside, it hurts, laughs, and cries. All people can do different things on their own, and all the evolutions seem real. Li Henian is very clear about the difficulty here.
"It's just an illusion. As long as you learn it, anyone can do it."
Zhong Yan smiled lightly and said calmly.
These words made Li Henian choke up. If this was really an ordinary illusion, he wouldn't be so surprised. Of course, if Zhong Yan said this, he couldn't refute it. He couldn't even answer the phone. He only looked down at the city and said, "May I ask the Lord, how long will this assessment last?"
"The time is set to ten years. The flow rate of time here has been adjusted by me. One day in the outside world is equivalent to one year here. The physical bodies in the outside world do not need to worry. The power of the stars will warm their bodies and will not destroy them. Ten In the middle of the year, in the first year, let them develop freely. In the second year, there will be random natural disasters or man-made disasters, which will test their ability to cope. After ten years, it will depend on how far the city they govern will reach."
"If the economy in a city is depressed and the people's livelihood is difficult to maintain stability, ten points will be deducted from all referents in the entire city, and then they will be scored according to their performance."
Zhong Yan said calmly.
