A year flies by so quickly, especially for people who are busy with many affairs, it seems like a blink of an eye, and the year passes in a hurry. But looking back at this time, I will be surprised that I have done so many things, and I will have a sense of accomplishment.
And those who are idle feel that time is long at the time, but when they look back, they can't even remember what they have done.
The people in the Nanyuan State Special Operations Department have been so busy this year that even the lowest-level red robes are so busy that they don’t know how much hair they have lost. The result is now gratifying results.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the close cooperation between the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War. Otherwise, it would not be possible for the Special Education Department to coordinate the resources for elementary schools alone.
All children and teenagers between the ages of six and fifteen in the entire Nanyuan Kingdom have been counted in the roster, and the Ministry of War has deployed more than a dozen large military villages in the area near the cliff mountain in Changhu County to provide these Millions of children gathered together to live there. Everything including clothing, rations, etc. was all distributed through the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Special Education Department are responsible for counting the number of people and how to conduct elementary education in batches after entering the military camp.
Not even 20% of these children are literate. It is undoubtedly a big challenge for all of them to achieve the most basic literacy skills within one year. What's more, you need to learn some knowledge that is not available outside while being literate. For example, the locations and names of "acupoints" and "meridians".
This is the host's advantage. Not only can it be arranged in advance, but the entire country can be mobilized to conduct the first major screening. What's more important is that with the Thirteenth Prince as a news channel, many basic things needed for cultivating Taoism can be learned in advance, which gives Nanyuan Kingdom an opportunity to lay the foundation. Once someone is selected, after getting started, they can achieve an initial half-step lead by relying on the advantage of knowing the basic knowledge first.
The principle of one step faster and one step faster can really be applied in some cases. It is also Nanyuan Kingdom’s little plan.
A few days before the mountaineering meeting is approaching, the children who have been locked up in various military camps for more than half a year can come out and then form a pre-arranged queue to go to the cliff mountain.
The road leading to the cliff mountain was completely leveled half a month ago. The wide road is enough for five carriages to pass side by side. It is the widest road in Nanyuan after the Imperial City Road.
However, even though the road is wide, it is already obviously crowded half a month before the cliff mountain climbing meeting begins.
The mountain climbing meeting only lasts for five days. If you pass, you will pass. If you fail to be selected, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky. Cliff Mountain will not open the back door for anyone.
Therefore, in order to avoid missing the screening due to crowding as much as possible, arrive early and get a seat early, which has become a place where all countries, including Nanyuan Kingdom, are secretly competing.
But regarding the scope of the cliff mountain, all countries have a tacit understanding that no one dares to take a step closer without permission.
How to filter? The only thing that can be used as a reference is the scene where Zhang Yan once took away Yang Ruishi in the Miscellaneous Academy, and the strange-shaped artifact that Zhang Yan called "Chi".
There is another possibility, that is, although it is not clear what the so-called threshold is, it seems that this threshold is easier for those children who appear to be smart to cross. Stupid children seem to have a harder time getting this opportunity.
The fifth day of May, sunny.
Early in the morning, the sun just peeked out from the side of the mountain. The sun shone down and there were already people everywhere it went. The entire cliff side of the mountain gate is densely packed and stretches for dozens of miles!
The garrison responsible for guarding the surrounding area has been overwhelmed. Basically, it relies on the main force of 10,000 Northern Front troops and 10,000 forbidden troops mobilized in advance to barely maintain the situation. But if such poisonous people get together and get a little restless, it may lead to a tragedy that is difficult to deal with.
But just when everyone was anxious, competing with each other, nervous and confused, a cloud suddenly rose from the cliff mountain in the distance, and then floated down the mountain. As the clouds dispersed, Zhang Yan was revealed standing on the clouds.
But Zhang Yan still seemed too small in his sight within the range of dozens of miles. Even if you are looking at it intentionally, it is not easy for people who are far away to see clearly.
Then after a Dharma form that is tens of feet tall appears, it is another scene. Even from dozens of miles away, the Dharma form can definitely be seen clearly.
The appearance of the Dharma is completely different from what Zhang Yan looked like when he first entered the body realm. Even if it is now enlarged to a scale of tens of feet, it can still make the appearance of the Dharma as fine as a hair. Regardless of the distance, as long as you raise your head, you can see that this Dharma image seems to be staring at you. It's like it's right in front of you.
There was also a sense of oppression that came over the face, making everyone within a radius of dozens of miles hold their breath, and did not dare to be as noisy and restless as before. It seemed that every move they made was being watched closely by the Dharma image above their heads.
Like a god! This is the thought that pops up in many people's minds.
"Today is an auspicious day. I am here to open the mountain gate. If you are destined, you can come through my door. There are thousands of ways to learn and endless mysteries to understand. In the future, it will be just around the corner to fly to the sky and escape from the earth to travel freely between heaven and earth.
It just depends on fate. "
Zhang Yan stood high in the sky with his hands behind his back. As he thought, a large piece of densely packed golden talent ruler shone brightly in the sun like stars. It flew out from the cliff mountain behind Zhang Yan at an extremely fast speed. According to a specific position, Finally, it was suspended in mid-air ten feet above the ground, and began to slowly descend.
"These talent rulers are used to judge whether you and I, Duanya Mountain, are destined to be together. When the talent ruler lights up softly, it means that you are qualified to enter the mountain gate. You can climb the mountain on your own. I will wait for you at the top of the mountain."
The talent ruler no longer poses a problem to Zhang Yan in terms of materials or techniques, and he can quickly refine many of them easily.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
And although he was preparing to recruit fifty people this time, Zhang Yan did not lower the recruitment standards one bit. It's still the same level as when Yang Rui was recruited. Only when one reaches Yang Rui's level of talent will the talent ruler light up softly, and the brighter the light, the stronger the talent.
Of course, looking at talent is only the first step. Because there are so many people this time, Zhang Yan will no longer be able to distinguish and discipline as carefully as he did for his three apprentices, so he can only do a lot of things in advance and screen out all signs of inappropriateness or inappropriateness. Keep the best and most suitable fifty people.
After the nearly three hundred talent rulers dropped from the height, no one needed to move at all. They would fly to the heads of the candidate children one by one and start detecting them. This is also a new ability added by Zhang Yan. In this way, the efficiency of talent screening can once again be improved.
