Shennong Daojun

Officials from the county are still in Tianxin Square.

However, the number of people has increased from four to sixteen. In addition to those in charge of agricultural supervision, there are also those from Wusi, Tiangongfang, and Weaving Departments.

After the official assessment was completed, they seemed to have turned into statues, waiting for the time to reopen the Tianxin Palace.

"Why does time go by so slowly today?" Xiao Ze rubbed his hands, his palms becoming sweaty.

"It's not that time passes slowly, it's that you are too impatient." Wen Nanxing whispered beside him.

"Are you not in a hurry?" Xiao Ze said, "If you don't win, you have to wait another year. Who knows what will happen next year."

Wen Nanxing was speechless. In fact, he was also very upset.

"The one who can be sure of hitting the target is probably Zhao Xing." Wen Nanxing looked at Zhao Xing's back in front of him, while Fang Zheng and Zong Shichang were talking and laughing.

"That Zong Shichang doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Is he sure of his success?" Xiao Ze looked in front of him in confusion, and at the same time raised his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"I'm really not sure." Zong Shichang dusted off his sleeves, "But I don't have to win this time, and it will be the same next year."

Zhao Xing chuckled and said, "What if I still can't win next year?"

Zong Shichang said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, my father will take action. I can still be an official in another way. Our dynasty does not only have the staff system to be an official."

"If I really can't win, I'll transfer to Xiangshan County and work as an official for the King of Xiangshan. I'll work hard for a few years and then I'll find a way to be transferred back to Nanyang."

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "I really want to compete with you, the children of aristocratic families."

Becoming an official under the civil service system is one way, and becoming a vassal in the royal domain is another way.

In Nanyang County, although the king of Nanyang County is enshrined in the temple, he was a person from a thousand years ago, and his throne is not hereditary. After a thousand years, there will only be an earl.

Although they can still receive taxes and have a lot of land, they are only "food towns" and have no actual fiefdom.

A true fiefdom has great rights as it can recruit troops, select vassals, and levy taxes on its own.

The King of Xiangshan mentioned by Zong Shichang was the cousin of Emperor Jing. Although he is not very close to him, he is still a real prince and can open his own mansion and build teeth.

If you take the vassal route, you will first become a vassal of the King of Xiangshan and serve as an official in Xiangshan County. If you perform well, you can also become a court official.

This requires connections and connections, and ordinary people would never want to take this path.

During the reign of Emperor Wen, many children from aristocratic families took this path to become officials, which was relatively easy. As long as they become officials, are they still afraid that they will not gain political achievements?

But now, Emperor Jing is not only harsh on officials, but also on his brothers, and this road is also much more difficult. But it is still easier than the serious assessment.

"Why are you fighting with me? After you accept the official position, it will take a few decades for you to spread your branches and get promoted. Your Zhao family will also be a big family in Nanyang County." Zong Shichang said, "You can't fight with yourself. Fight hard."

"That's true." Zhao Xing nodded. Relationships are everywhere. As Long Xiao said, if Zhao Xing wants to be an officer in the Shenwei Army, it doesn't matter what his connections are. After he accepts the position and is waiting for the selection process, he will not be in the sight of the Shenwei Army's selection.

It is impossible to be selected after waiting for a thousand years, and you have to continue to take the military and agricultural examinations.

But with the relationship between Chen Shijie and Long Xiao, they can skip the exam process while waiting for the selection.

Because although Yang An is only the Marquis of Boping County, he has been reactivated as the chief general of the Shenwei Army, and he has the right to choose people from other places. Ninth-grade officials, regardless of their academic skills and martial arts, as long as there are still quotas, he can basically choose.

"It would be the best if we can win directly." Zong Shichang muttered, "If we really follow the path of King Xiangshan, my family's wealth will be reduced by half."

"How was your field assessment?" Zhao Xing asked. "Have you recognized the twelve o'clock grass? It's still a bit difficult to determine the time."

"Who are you looking down on?" Zong Shichang said in surprise, "It is a bit difficult to determine the time, but I went to Shangluo with my father when I was a child, and there is a twelve o'clock grass in my house, how could I not recognize it."

Zhao Xing laughed dumbly.

"Stop chatting, it's almost time, keep quiet." Chen Shijie warned.

Li Wenzheng was more direct. He initiated a group ban.

The area outside the square suddenly became quiet.

On the hour, the statue-like official reopened the Tianxin Palace.

"Hoo~" The red copper incense burner in the hall was burning with golden flames, and after a while, a list floated out from it.

The list was released, then floated outside the hall and spread out in the sky.

One by one, the names suddenly appeared.

Everyone couldn't help but look up.

[Zhao Xing, on top. 】

The first name is Zhao Xing.

Chen Shijie smiled, and Xue Wenzhong nodded happily.

As for the others, they all looked at him with envy.

Although it was believed that Zhao Xing could pass the exam, it was still unknown before it was actually confirmed.

Now that I can actually see it, the dust has settled.

"The one above means that one of the subjects must have a perfect score. He really didn't lie. He really passed the field test with a perfect score." Gao Linong was a little lost.

Fortunately, I didn't have bad breath three days ago, otherwise my face would be swollen now.

"When an official becomes a full-time official, he will only be awarded the first grade, which will be divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower."

"In this temple examination, there are more than tens of millions of officials participating in the election, but only a handful of them will be rated as top-notch, which will give them an advantage when selecting."

"This person must have gone to a fertile and wealthy place to become an official."

"How enviable."

…………

The list is fully expanded.

Zhao Xing took a closer look and saw that four of the agricultural supervisors were on the list.

Except for himself, Wen Nanxing, Xiao Ze, Zong Shichang, all got the A-lower rating.

As long as you get the A, you can pass.

Zhao Xing didn't expect Zong Shichang to get the A-lower rating.

Although he couldn't speak, Zong Da Shao exuded a sense of pride at this time, and his chest was straight.

If he hadn't been banned from speaking, he would have called the servants over and distributed wedding money to everyone.

"Four out of fifteen is about one-third, which is in line with the proportion of previous years." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Although the questions are a bit difficult, the proportion of court officials paying taxes will not fluctuate too much.

As for the other departments, Shen Zhui of the Military Department also got the A-higher rating, and another 18 people got the A-higher rating.

There are ten people in the Ritual Hall.

Eight people in the Tiangong Workshop got the A-higher rating, and six people in the Weaving Department got the A-higher rating.

And there are only two people in the Temple of God.

The main reason is that among the departments, the Military Department has the largest number of references, followed by the Ritual Hall, the Tiangong Workshop and the Weaving Department, the second lowest number of people in the Sinong Supervisor, and the least in the Temple of God.

"If it were a county town, there would be doctors, musicians, dancers and other professions, but Gucheng is just a county, there are no such professions." Zhao Xing thought.

At this time, it was still very quiet outside the square.

Because the list was only the first step.

The next step was to enter the temple to receive the baptism of the country's destiny.

"Please enter the Tianxin Hall if you are on the list."

Zhao Xing heard this and immediately stepped onto the steps and entered the hall.

Although a group of people entered the hall, after entering the Tianxin Hall, they could only see themselves and could not see others.

Entering the hall again, there was one more statue and one tablet.

The statues were Taizu and Taizong, and the tablet was Jingdi.

Because Jingdi was still alive, there was no statue, only a tablet of merit.

Zhao Xing bowed and worshiped the statues of Taizu and Taizong and the tablet of Jingdi according to the process.

After three bows.

The two statues and the tablet emitted a little golden light, which soon filled the entire Tianxin Hall.

Buzz~

The golden light entered the body, and Zhao Xing felt a magnificent and majestic power entering the body.

In a trance, he saw a gate to heaven. Behind the gate, there were palaces and hundreds of civil and military officials.

A golden giant sat on a huge throne, overlooking the world.

The giant pointed lightly, and auspicious clouds lifted Zhao Xing, flew through the gate to the magnificent palace.

Buzz~

As soon as he passed the gate, Zhao Xing felt that a layer of obstacles disappeared.

Originally, his perception of the five elements magic seemed to be covered with a vague shadow, but after passing this gate, it became clear.

Then the soul of life was touched, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and looked inside to see the existence of the soul of life.

A thin golden light suddenly spread under the feet of the soul of life.

The originally empty and cold void suddenly became warm and bright.

"The soul of life spreads golden light under the feet of the soul of life. This is the luck of the country entering the body, forging the foundation of the palace of life for me." Zhao Xing understood.

However, he himself has cultivated to the entry level, and the foundation is already solid, so this golden light is just a layer under his feet.

Most of it was absorbed by the soul itself.

Part of it increased lifespan, and part of it increased luck.

"Om~"

Zhao Xing looked at his soul and the stage of building the foundation of luck, which did not last long. If it was a low realm, not enough to enter the rank, then it would naturally be more complicated. Because this process would make up to at least the level of the ninth rank.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhao Xing was already in the hall.

Looking up, the civil and military officials were endless, seemingly endless.

He stood near the door of the hall, only the lowest ninth rank official.

His body was only normal size.

But the closer he got to the front, the bigger the shadow became.

As for the huge, unique golden giant, it was Emperor Jing.

Zhao Xing understood.

From the moment he entered the hall, he officially entered the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty of Luck.

"Your servant Zhao Xing, thank my emperor!"

"My emperor will live forever!"

This was the only part of the whole process that required kneeling, and Zhao Xing did not have so many mental burdens, so he immediately knelt down to thank him.

At this point, the process of the country's luck entering the body is over.

The next moment, clouds and mists lingered.

Zhao Xing reappeared in the Tianxin Hall.

Now is not the time to check the panel, because there is something to do next.

That is [Yin Shen Asking Selection].

After being accepted as an official, you will not immediately have an official position, but a selection stage.

First select, then transfer.

After accepting the official position, you have to ask where you want to be an official, but now it has become a formality, just a formality, and it is impossible to be satisfied.

Because there are so many officials now, not during the Taizu Dynasty, there were so many vacancies.

It's good to have a place to go, you still want to pick?

"Om~"

A kind-looking figure appeared in the temple. He was wearing hemp clothes, like an old farmer.

It was Caoxi Zhenjun who passed on the Dharma to Zhao Xing.

"Greetings, Master."

Cao Xi asked with a kind and smiling tone: "Zhao Xing, now that you have become an official, the court sent me to ask you, where do you want to be an official?"

Zhao Xing bowed and said: "I want to join the army and be on the list of my military department's selection."

Cao Xi did not seem surprised by this answer: "You got the A-grade in this assessment, and you can skip some procedures to become the military minister."

"Let me ask you first, which army have you decided to join? You can choose three to ten armies. After the selection, your name will appear on the candidate list of these armies. If you are selected, someone will come to inspect you."

"The Divine Power Army."

Cao Xi closed his eyes, opened them after three breaths, and shook his head slightly: "Although you have passed the assessment, you have not yet reached the threshold to enter the Shenwei Army. The possibility of being selected is extremely low. I can only put you on the list of candidates for the Pingman Army."

Zhao Xing said: "Thank you for your reminder, Master Zhen. My choice remains unchanged."

Cao Xi heard this and said no more. His figure disappeared.

The Yinshen selection phase ended, and Zhao Xing left the Tianxin Hall.

He is now in the waiting state.

The other officials also left the Tianxin Hall.

At this time, the outside of the temple was already very lively.

There were congratulations everywhere.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, wait a minute!"

Zhao Xing was about to leave, but was stopped by three people.

It was Wen Nanxing, Xiao Ze and Zong Shichang.

"Is there something?" Zhao Xing turned around and asked.

"Brother Zhao, please accept my greeting." Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze bowed together and bowed 90 degrees to Zhao Xing.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Xing was confused. Why are you bowing to me?

After Xiao Ze finished his greeting, he stood up and said with a smile: "We all used Brother Zhao's original answer for the last question of the theoretical examination."

Wen Nanxing said with emotion: "Brother Zhao's answer is a model essay. This examination is tricky and difficult. If I hadn't scored on the last question, I'm afraid I would have failed."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized and bowed to Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze in return: "You two don't have to do this. You can pass the exam because of your own abilities."

Zong Shichang smiled and said: "Me too, but I won't bow to you. After the meeting, come to my house for a meal. Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze, you two have to come. If you don't come, you are not giving face. I will hold a grudge!"

"Hahaha, then it's better to obey than to be respectful."

"Mr. Zong, I have long wanted to eat at your house. Now I finally have the opportunity. I will go even if you don't invite me!"

"Then I must go hungry for two meals and save my stomach before going! Brother Zhao, don't you think so?"

The four of them walked down the stairs talking and laughing.

Xiao Ze and Wen Nanxing had some grudges against Zhao Xing because of their past competition, but now that they have accepted the position and received Zhao Xing's favor, the grudges have completely disappeared.

Instead, they can talk about their past thoughts calmly.

"Brother Zhao, you don't know that in that assessment, you used the earth veins to steal the vitality of Nanxing and me. Lord Chen commented that we were not vigilant enough."

"After returning, Nanxing got drunk and kept calling your name when he fell asleep." Xiao Ze said.

"Asshole, how can it be as exaggerated as you say?" Wen Nanxing scolded with a smile, "Besides, weren't you also drunk and threatened to avenge the previous humiliation? How dare you say that to me?"

"You two have a chance to take revenge today." Zong Shichang joined in the fun, "I'm drinking at my house tonight, you two can do whatever you want, and don't worry about revenge afterwards, Zhao Xing, don't you think so?"

"Let alone two, the three of you combined may not be able to drink more than me." Zhao Xing challenged, "Let's see the truth in the Zong's wine cup tonight!"

"What an arrogant attitude, tonight I Xiao Ze must destroy your prestige!"

"Let's go together! Hahaha."

After leaving Tianxin Temple, Zhao Xing received congratulations from all sides.

Gucheng County Magistrate Li Wenzheng, Military Commander Wang Long, Temple Master of Ceremonies Meng Yun, Tiangong Workshop Gongsun Yang...

The distance from the inside to the outside of the temple is very short, but Zhao Xing was surrounded and walked for an hour before leaving the temple.

Chen Shijie and Long Xiao didn't say much, and told him to come to the mansion in two days.

After Zhao Xing left the temple.

He originally planned to take a look at the panel to understand the detailed changes.

Now that he has officially entered the system of the Dynasty of Fortune, the shackles have disappeared, and his life span and fortune should have increased.

But before he had time to look, he heard Zhao Zheng's voice.

"Brother!"

"Brother is out!" Zhao Zheng rushed over immediately. "Congratulations, brother!"

Zhao Xing rubbed Zhao Zheng's head and asked, "Where is Dad?"

"Over there." Zhao Zheng pulled his brother to look in one direction. "Waiting for you to go home for dinner."

Zhao Ruide had been waiting for a long time, and Mrs. Cai was standing by. When they saw Zhao Xing come out, the couple's faces were beaming and very happy.

"Let's go home."
