The construction of Xia Jingcheng is still in full swing.

At the same time, many scholars also rushed to Xia Jing from all over the world. The imperial court opened the imperial examination and recruited scholars from all over the world, no matter what their status, this was an excellent opportunity.

Even if they are children of a family, there is no shortcut to the top now, if they want to become officials, they can only use this method. Regardless of status and origin, only look at their talents.

All the children of the family with outstanding talents are all coming to Xia Jing at this moment. They are not only burdened with personal honor and disgrace, but also include the glory of the family.

……

Coming out of Chang'an, Du Ruhui took his entourage all the way to Xiajing.

Looking at Xia Jingcheng at this moment, Du Ruhui looked a little surprised, which was a little different from what he imagined.

Although Xia Jing's scale is different from Chang'an, he can see its inherent temperament. In this regard alone, it is not weaker than Chang'an, and from a certain point of view, it is even better.

The most important thing is that Xia Jingcheng City is now under construction, and when it is completed, its scale may exceed that of Chang'an City. Even when Du Ruhui saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Du Ruhui is naturally different from ordinary children of the family, he is not worried about whether he will be able to become a leader, or that he is imagining the future of this country, which is different from the previous Great Sui.

Today's Great Xia is in full swing, and the gap between it and the Great Sui is not small. The scene seen from the city alone made Du Ruhui a little surprised, everything was in order, and it was not chaotic because of the noisy people.

Even a capital city like Chang'an City is inevitably difficult to manage because of the large population. But Xia Jing has no such phenomenon at all, everything is integrated into it.

Du Ruhui can see that although today's Xia Jing has not yet been completed, it has a heritage comparable to Chang'an, and the merchants in it are extremely prosperous, which also adds a lot of color to the city.

Of course, what surprised Du Ruyan the most was the speed of construction in Xia Jingcheng. The craftsmen were working with a material they had never seen before, and they were working at breakneck speed.

This is the construction of the capital of a country, and Du Ruhui knows that the craftsmen will never dare to joke about the quality. In this case, it can only be a problem with the material, which can match the terrifying efficiency.

But now that people are working, Du Ruhui is obviously not good at coming forward to ask, so he can only look at it from the side. But even so, the city has changed far beyond his imagination.

Just as Du Ruhui was thinking, someone suddenly approached beside him, only to hear someone say, "Brother Keming, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to come to Xia Jingcheng today." ”

Those who can call him Keming are naturally acquaintances, Du Ruhui hurriedly turned around and looked, it was indeed a familiar figure, and said with a smile, "Brother Xuanling, you are also here?" ”

"Haven't you already entered the ranks, why are you also in Xia Jing today, do you want to do the imperial examination?" When Du Ruhui saw his old friend, he was a little happy at first, and then said with a surprised face.

The man known as Brother Xuan Ling was obviously older than Du Ruhui. The two are old acquaintances, although Du Ruhui said it directly, it will not annoy it.

This person is Fang Xuanling, he heard Du Ruhui's words, but he didn't care, but smiled indifferently, "How can the officials of the previous dynasty be counted in this dynasty, besides, Yang Guang is brutal, I have already resigned." ”

"Now that the imperial court wants to summon talented people from all over the world to Xiajing, although Fang Qiao is not a talented person, he is not willing to be left behind, so he naturally wants to come to this Xiajing City to have a look." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Du Ruhui suddenly didn't dwell too much on this, but looked at the outer wall of Xia Jingcheng City under construction, and asked, "Brother Xuanling arrived first, I don't know if you know about this?" ”

Fang Xuanling obviously knew something earlier, and when he heard Du Ruhui's inquiry, he quickly replied, "This thing is called cement, and it is rumored that it is made by the prince today, and it seems that it is extremely efficient to use it to build walls." ”

"The current prince?" Du Ruyan was slightly surprised, and quickly reacted, today, except for that legendary figure, who else can afford this title?

For Luo Cheng's name, Du Ruhui is naturally like thunder, when he was in Chang'an City in the past, he originally thought that Li Tang would be able to hold on for more time, but who knew that he was attacked by the imperial court.

And this commander of the army is Luo Cheng. It is rumored that this person is invincible, and his strength is unrivaled in the world. Even if Li Tang had Li Yuanba to fight with, he would be extremely miserable.

The most important thing is that Luo Cheng seems to be both civil and military, not only is his martial arts strong, but his cultural level is also terrifyingly high. In terms of poetry alone, it is enough to be called terrifying.

"I can't imagine that the current prince has even studied this way, which is really embarrassing for me." Du Ruhui is indeed a little helpless, although they are also from extraordinary backgrounds, but compared with Luo Cheng, the difference between their achievements and Luo Cheng is too big.

Fang Xuanling nodded, and said with a smile: "This is natural, as Fang Qiao knows recently, the prince is not only good at these places, I am afraid that it will be difficult for scholars to reach it." ”

Both of them smiled self-deprecatingly.

Of course, they didn't take it to heart, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were not scheming people, and they would not be arrogant. Although they are not as powerful as Luo Cheng, they also have their own strengths.

"This time in the summer capital, the competition is really fierce." Fang Xuanling looked at the scholars who came and went around him, whether they were students from poor families or children of families, they were all coming and going.

I'm afraid that most of today's young talents have already gathered in this Xia Jing. Even Du Ruhui and the others couldn't help but sigh that the court was really calculating.

As a result, many talents gathered in the city, and after the exam, I am afraid that most of them will be used by the imperial court. But it's also a good thing, at least it can exclude some people who are indiscriminate.

Although Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are both families, they don't like those related households. Talented people like them prefer to rely on their own abilities and rise up step by step.

If it is to rely on the power of the family, or even the things of money, no matter how high you go, it is contemptible. The use of the examination method is undoubtedly a good solution.

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Du Ruhui's tone became firm, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Xuanling, since you and I have come to Xia Jing, how can we be willing to be left behind, we have to fight for a name." ”

Du Ruhui said very directly, looked at Fang Xuanling with undisguised eyes, and continued, "When the title of the gold list is called, there must be you and me, Brother Xuanling, are you willing to give it a try?" ”

"Why can't this be, Fang Qiaodang and Ke Mingxian's brother encourage each other." Fang Xuanling replied with a smile.
