There are actually many strong people in Yancheng.
Jiang Hua thought that the number of first-generation monarchs and Xiantian immortals might be a hundred.
It’s just that most of them only have names in Yancheng Academy. Their daily activities are mainly doing research, reading journals, watching the contention of a hundred schools of thought, and occasionally traveling to various places for practice or field investigations.
Sometimes, they would go to twenty counties and visit each county on the spot, from top to bottom, from left to right. After each visit, someone would write an article and express their own opinions.
And some people have been watching and learning silently.
Some people come and go, and some people never leave after they come, staying here for decades.
Probably more than 40 years ago, many young generation geniuses saw the Yancheng Journal and were greatly shocked, leaving for Yancheng one after another.
The typical representative at that time was Gong Zifei of the Han family. However, Gong Zifei was a great nobleman and had responsibilities due to his family background. Therefore, Gong Zifei was now planning to return to the Han family and take charge of the Han family. This was his responsibility and he could not avoid it.
This time, Gongzi Fei, Gongzi Wuxie, and Gongzi Si will most likely return to China together. Once the three of them, their friends, the trained Tao soldiers, and the trained industrial workers return to the Han, Zhao, and Wei clans, what will happen next? The productivity of the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei will definitely increase exponentially.
The annual income will definitely increase by several times to more than ten times, and the strength will also increase dramatically.
For the three young masters, they certainly know the significance and danger of this trip, but this is a test they must face.
However, in addition to these people with status, there are also many geniuses who originally had no resources and low background, but they came to Yancheng with their talents and have now grown up through self-study.
There are many such geniuses.
For example, the handsome guy in front of me was born in the Ge family. His family was originally a hereditary minister. The family had a county as a fiefdom, and he was considered a great noble.
However, when it was passed down to the young generation, the family declined.
At that time, the strong man in the family died at the hands of demons, and his wealth was almost exhausted. The younger brother had to take on family responsibilities in advance, and then the boy was sent to Qufu Academy to study.
The young man lived up to expectations and became a warlock at the age of eight. He became a Taoist priest at the age of twelve and a Taoist priest at the age of sixteen, and was personally taught by Kong Sheng. Unfortunately, the young genius had already developed his own personality, and he felt that the path between himself and Kong Sheng was not suitable.
Therefore, although I am very grateful to Confucius for his attention, I still did not worship Confucius as my teacher. Instead, I learned everything.
Learn a little from Confucianism, a little from Legalism, a little from Mohism, and a little from military strategists.
My brother once said, don’t read everything, as this will distract your energy and is not good for your future growth.
However, the young man is full of talent. Although he looks rough, his foundation is very solid. Maybe this is the difference between genius and talent.
Later, Gong Zifei left Qufu Academy for Yancheng, which started a trend: a trend of leaving Qufu Academy for other places.
The young man also came to Yancheng with the others.
Now, the boy has grown up and has met many older sisters and younger sisters in Yancheng.
In fact, the boy had no intention of taking the initiative. It was the elder sister and the younger sisters who were too proactive and enthusiastic.
There are even young women who often invite young men to go on spring outings. Whether they have any special thoughts or not, I can only say that they understand.
Just like today, the boy once again received an invitation to spring outing, and he was very distressed.
Feeling a hint of murderous intent, the young man decisively threw away the invitation.
"Who is this?" a beautiful girl asked directly.
Looking at the serious girl, the boy explained: "Aying, please listen to my explanation..."
"Oh, I met you when I was sponsoring your experiment. She is also the daughter of a prince. Her background is indeed not comparable to that of a third-generation disciple of the Mo family like me..."
"What's more, she is so beautiful, unlike me, who has yellow hair..."
"Aying, the yellow hair you had when you were a child was the return of your bloodline to your ancestors, which is a sign of extraordinary talent. Now you have completely mastered the bloodline in your body, and your cultivation level is not far from that of the first generation monarch and the Xiantian. If it hadn't been for these years, , you have been helping me with experiments, and I guess I have already achieved a breakthrough."
If someone has a conscience, the girl will not care about him.
Seeing this, the young man sighed and said, "The world is going to be in chaos today."
"Then what should we do?" the girl said calmly.
"Aying, don't you doubt the truth of what I said?"
"Why should I doubt what you said?"
The young man smiled happily: "The Kingdom of Jin is going to be in chaos, the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Chu are going to war, and the Tian family is about to completely replace the Lu family. At that time, whether it is to establish prestige or for other reasons, the Tian family will We will definitely take action against Lu, Song, Yan and other countries."
"If the Jin Kingdom is in chaos, the Qin Kingdom will definitely find ways to go west out of Hangu Pass and compete in the Central Plains."
The state of Jin has the final say whether the world is in chaos or not!
"Even Yancheng may not be as comfortable as it is now."
"I'm going out!" Finally, the young man said seriously.
"Eh? Do you finally want to come out? Have you encountered a bottleneck? Didn't you just become a real person a few years ago? Are you about to become a real person now? Or are you planning to build an industry? ?”
"I remember a few years ago, a big noble invited you to come out, but you refused at that time."
The young man shook the feather fan in his hand and said confidently: "The level of the real person is not difficult, and it is not difficult for the first generation monarch. The level of the real person does have some mysteries and some tricks, but Confucius once said that destiny is not difficult. It’s not the only way to become a great person.”
"Besides, after joining Yancheng, are you still worried about not having your destiny?"
"Are you sure you want to join Yancheng? Don't you regret it?" the girl asked directly.
"Of course I don't regret it."
“In today’s world, besides Yancheng, where else can we go?”
"Yancheng is still very dynamic, and I like the atmosphere here very much. The most important thing is that in other places, there are all kinds of great aristocrats. If you want to do something there, you must first become a great aristocrat. If you want to become a great aristocrat, Nobles must abide by the rules among nobles."
"You know, there is a saying among many great nobles that only three generations are considered one's own. There, birth is more important than ability, and there are not many people who can delegate power like Lord Yan."
"Today's Yancheng, although fifty years have passed, is still very dynamic, and the up and down circulation is very convenient. Yanjun can always set up new and useful institutions one after another."
"Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is probably that Lord Yan, like me, is a very realistic idealist."
"Whether he is proposing the standards of a world of great harmony or practicing the concept of a hundred schools of thought contending, Yanjun is working hard to improve the treatment of the common people. Yancheng is also the only place where education is popularized."
"To put it bluntly, Yancheng and other countries in the outside world feel at least two eras apart!"
"It's okay if you haven't seen the new era, but you have obviously lived in the new era for almost fifty years. Who would want to take the initiative to return to the old era at this time?"
"For ideals, only Yan Jun can do it."
"But, the seats in Yancheng are all full now? Even if you go, you won't be able to excel. If your talent is not outstanding, wouldn't it be a big waste?"
"Now that Mr. Xiao is the minister, he is actually the real prime minister. Prime Minister Yu is currently only responsible for supervising the officials and doing the work of the censor. Mr. Xiao is responsible for other political affairs. Mr. Xiao handles the government affairs of Yancheng, which can be said to be It is well organized and has never made any mistakes, especially after every five-year plan has been formulated over the years, it has been realized, and Yancheng's strength has continued to leap forward."
"Although you are very talented, Ah Liang, can your government affairs ability replace Mr. Xiao? Although I am very optimistic about you, Ah Liang, but when it comes to government affairs alone, you are at most about the same as Mr. Xiao, right?"
The young man nodded: "Mr. Xiao is ten times more talented than me. Although I am a little talented, how can I dare to say that I have surpassed Mr. Xiao?"
"Ten times as good as me" or something like that was just a boy's self-effacing remark, and the girl didn't take it seriously.
"As for the military, Mr. Wu is basically responsible for all major and minor matters now. Mr. Wu's military strategy is much better than yours, A Liang. As early as decades ago, Mr. Wu first trained Xuan-level Taoist soldiers. This was the famous Xuanming Taoist soldier. Later, Mr. Wu has been training prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, and now I heard that he has achieved some success. The last person to train prefecture-level Taoist soldiers was Mr. Changqing. "
"Mr. Wu's military strategy is one of the best in the world. I am not as good as him." The young man said sincerely.
"Then where are you going, A Liang?"
"I plan to join the cabinet and work towards becoming the chief minister of the cabinet."
"This cabinet involves all aspects. In the past, Mr. Xiao was responsible for all cabinet affairs, but now Mr. Xiao has become the minister and has not been in charge of the cabinet for decades."
"The original cabinet members now don't even have a real person. This is really inappropriate."
"Theoretically speaking, the chief minister of the cabinet should have certain government affairs capabilities and a certain degree of strength. He also needs to understand various research on the latest journals, and he also needs certain military capabilities. It is just suitable for someone like me who knows a little bit about everything. But someone who is not proficient.”
Do you know something about that? I don’t even want to expose you!
"The cabinet is indeed very powerful. In the past, the cabinet was so important. Nowadays, the cabinet has been unable to keep up. In fact, the three bachelors in the cabinet are not strong enough. It is not that they are not capable enough, but Hard power can’t keep up.”
"However, a department like the cabinet involves too many secrets. Even if the average person is strong enough, it won't work if they don't have enough trust."
"The cabinet is really suitable for you, Ah Liang, to show off your skills, but this position is not so easy to get, right?"
Having said this, the girl thought about it seriously: "Let me think about it, my father is the direct disciple of Mo Sheng, so he is Yan Jun's senior brother. Speaking of which, I am also Yan Jun's senior niece. According to the inheritance, I am A third-generation disciple of the Mo family, Lord Yan is my uncle."
"How about I go find my father and ask you to visit Lord Yan directly?"
"No, don't go to such trouble. You have written so many articles over the years, and now who in the world doesn't know your name, Mr. Wolong? If you want to go out, maybe Yanjun will come to invite you in person to express his love for talents. , why is there any need to have a teacher relationship?"
Hearing this, the young man smiled slightly: "I am currently overcoming a difficulty and it is about to be achieved. When this difficulty is achieved, maybe Yan Jun will come over and invite me in person."
"Difficulty? Are you referring to low-cost and popularizable intelligent life? I heard about this difficulty and have been offering rewards back then. The Taiping Taoists of Taiping Dao have been working hard for several years, but they have only solved the problem of universalized intelligent life. Close, but the low cost has not yet been achieved.”
"I heard that it costs a billion to create an intelligent life today. It is said that it has been applied on the most advanced Jade Bird. Many formations and many key points use this technology. Ah Liang, if you can solve it If you solve the cost problem, that’s really great. But how to solve it?”
Hearing this, the young man smiled slightly: "Is this problem difficult to say or easy to say? In fact, it is mainly a matter of way of thinking. In the past, everyone always thought of intelligent life as too high-end, so the various costs never came down."
"Some people think from the perspective of formation spirits, some people think from the role of talismans, and some people think through sacrifices to connect invisible existences between heaven and earth. These ideas cannot be said to be wrong. On the contrary, the seniors still all think Certain results have been achieved.”
"Moreover, each of these achievements has its own advantages. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom."
"And I stand on the foundation of my predecessors, and my solution is through mana."
"Our magic power is essentially the product of the gathering of essence, energy and spirit. In the past a long time ago, there was a word called Yuan Ling, Huang Tian's Will, and all kinds of man-made gods that appeared later, such as the People's Republic of China. The God of Wealth who governs the county essentially uses the Tao of Yin and Yang to give tangible life to intangible concepts, thus giving birth to various artificial gods."
"Indeed, artificial gods are a special kind of intelligent life."
"The angle I started from this time is actually the Qinglian Fantasy World. In the Qinglian Fantasy World, using the power of creation to create Qinglian and using the collected obsessions, a whole new world can be opened up."
"So, starting from obsession, once successful, you can create a low-intelligent life that costs about 10,000 yuan. Although it is not smart, it can at least understand human speech. Once combined with many magic weapons and magic weapons, it will It can greatly improve our productivity. At that point, Yancheng alone may be able to feed half the world."
"Now, I'm almost successful."
