In the afternoon, the lung capacity training time was increased to 4 minutes, and Liu Jingyun found that he was particularly talented in diving, because he held his breath in the water for eight minutes in one breath, which means that he did not need to exercise for the next four days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He knew he was aiming for thirty minutes, so he trained honestly every afternoon.

Su Yuanhang admired Liu Jingyun's diving ability very much, and he even proposed that Liu Jingyun was very likely to be a potential person in the water system. The so-called potential people refer to people who have Yuan Li and have not been trained, and most of them refer to children.

"How could you not cultivate? It is very likely that the Water Origin Scholar will enter the Imperial Royal Navy, which is a paradise for the forbidden army. Su Yuanhang said with a smile, "On the shores of the East China Sea, the sun, the beach, the beauties, especially the Ying girls and Mi girls who smuggled from the Mili Island in the east, have you ever heard of picking up corpses?"

"Is it to pick up corpses?" asked Liu Jingyun.

Su Yuanhang shook his head and said, "No, it's the Royal Navy soldiers who check smuggling and smuggling, once they find the smuggling girls, those Royal Navy will be blessed, they can pick one up and take it back to their dormitory to play for a month, and then let those girls go." ”

Liu Jingyun shook his head, he didn't feel anything to be proud of this kind of bullying, the Huaxia Empire was strong but bullied the weak, which always made people feel unjust, he changed the topic and said: "Old Su, do you believe it? I haven't done the Yuan Force potential test. ”

"You haven't done the Yuan Force Potential Test?" Su Yuanhang almost jumped up and said in disbelief, "How is it possible? Everyone has to take the Yuan Force Potential Test when they are seven years old. ”

"I live in the most inhospitable province in the western part of the empire, and I am there to do the Yuan Force potential test...... Yes, you have to pay money. Liu Jingyun said, "And I am an orphan and don't have much money." ”

"Impossible, impossible!" Su Yuanhang exclaimed again and again, "Selecting potential is the Empire's Priority Constitution, do you know what a Priority Constitution is? It is the first law to be implemented among all constitutions, and it is a law that no one can violate." ”

Liu Jingyun looked at Su Yuanhang like an idiot, and sneered: "Do you think that in the border far away from the imperial capital, the constitution will be seriously enforced? You big city kid are a little too naïve, aren't you?"

"Bastard! Treat the Imperial Constitution as child's play!" Su Yuanhang said angrily.

"Hehe......" Liu Jingyun continued to sneer, is there a pure land in the empire now?

The constitution of the Chinese Empire stipulates that every citizen of the empire must take the Yuanli potential test on the first day of entering a public elementary school at the age of seven. Children who pass the Yuanli potential test will be selected to become potential people, and then they will be taken to the True North Continent to become disciples of various sects.

This is an exchange balance of the empire, the fourteenth emperor of the Chinese Empire, Xuanyuan Sanwei, on the one hand, asked all major sects to migrate to the True North Continent, and on the other hand, in order to make up for the lack of talent reserves of the various major sects, he selected potential teenagers from all over Shenzhou and sent them to the True North Continent for the various major sects to select suitable disciples.

The time for each sect to select potential people is in October every year, and it is called the Qilin Society, and those children with high potential will be prioritized by the seven major sects, while those with less potential will be picked up by small and medium-sized sects.

If a child has very poor potential, he has three ways to choose, the first is to enter the Imperial Royal Junior Military Academy, the disadvantage is that the potential people who study in the Junior Military Academy must receive professional killing training from an early age, so that when they grow up, they will not do anything but kill; the second way is to enter the Genshin Church to become a monk and dedicate his life to the church; the third way is to choose to go home and return to his parents, of course, from then on, this potential person will never come out.

As the Chinese Empire gradually went to the wane, the powerful forces of the aristocracy, the official class, the wealthy class, and other ruling classes that had been entrenched in the empire blocked the promotion path of the poor, resulting in the poor becoming poorer and poorer, while the rich lived more and more luxuriously. Almost all of the official positions in various localities are hereditary, corruption is rampant, and the phenomenon of exercising power and tyrannizing power is serious. Because of the intertwined family relationships, the empire's supervision is not effective, and many officials even supervise themselves, and if they are found to have made mistakes, they will be punished three times at most behind the scenes. Even if you are dismissed on the spot, you will be promoted in another place before long.

More than 600 years after the founding of the empire, more and more people began to rebel against this injustice, especially in the remote provinces of the empire, where corruption became more serious, and the expropriation of officials eventually led to the emergence of rebels (rebel armies).

However, the Huaxia Empire is still strong and stable, because in the Huaxia Empire, there is still a chance for ordinary people to change their future, that is, to pass the Yuanli potential test and become a Yuanshi after being cultivated by the empire.

Whether or not it is a potential person is an important criterion to measure a person's ability and future, taking the nine princes of Emperor Xingwu today as an example, seven of the nine princes are potential, while the other two are ordinary people. As ordinary people, the princes automatically lost the qualification to inherit the throne, and were even driven out of the palace and sent to Xuanyuan City, and from then on, they could only live, grow old, sick and die in Xuanyuan City, and they were not allowed to leave Xuanyuan City for the rest of their lives.

The other seven Yuanli potential princes have become the pride and darlings of the imperial family, and one of them is the future emperor of the Chinese Empire.

Of course, if you are born as an ordinary person, it is not a day of eternal, and maybe among the children of ordinary people, there are potential people. The reason why the population of the Chinese Empire was able to multiply from less than 100 million to several billion was that everyone wanted to have enough children was also an important reason, perhaps there was Yuan Li potential among their children. Once their children are potential, one day the children will be crowned marquis, and the parents of ordinary people will be able to become the families of the new nobles, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

The existence of this kind of competition is the foundation of the stability of the empire, and it is precisely because of the existence of this imperial dream that the Chinese Empire has been maintained for more than 600 years.

Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Chinese Empire, the first emperor Xuanyuan Long clearly stipulated in the imperial constitution that the selection of potential for the empire was the priority constitution. However, more than 600 years later, many low-level officials actually filled their pockets in the Yuanli potential test for their children, in Su Yuanhang's words, this is simply destroying the foundation of the empire.

"Alas...... Your hometown is a big city, not a small place for us. "In our country, even the sheriffs are hereditary, not to mention mayors and provincial governors, all of them are passed down from father to son, and these people have a monopoly on the bureaucracy." So even if someone blackmails a student while they're doing a potential test, who can sue them? Who would dare to do that?"

Su Yuanhang was stunned again when he heard this, and asked unconsciously: "Can it really be so corrupt?"

"It's more corrupt than you think. Liu Jingyun said, after which he explained that in Xiye Province, ordinary children who want to take the test have to pay five silver coins for the test fee.

In fact, the so-called Yuan Force Potential Test is not complicated, on the contrary, the Yuan Force Potential Test is very simple, the tester puts his hands on a black potential test stone, and then closes his eyes to feel the resonance of his body with the stone. But in less than a minute, ordinary people will have to pay five silver coins, you can imagine how greedy they are, and the children of people with status, relationships and backgrounds are tested for free.

Even more infuriating behavior is that some children who have passed the Yuanli potential test, if they don't pay a certain benefit fee, the tester won't even sign him up, so that he can't go to the Qilin Club.

In Liu Jingyun's memory, he once witnessed a Yuan Force test, and only a dozen of the first-year students in several schools, out of more than 300 testers, passed the Yuan Force potential test. Liu Jingyun witnessed the black boulder produce other colors of light because of their contact, which made him feel as if it was a miracle in an instant, making him can't help but wonder if he was a Yuan Force potential, but when he thought of paying the money, he could only look at them with envy.

Su Yuanhang was shocked by what he heard, and he also felt suspicious of the stability of the empire, and even he didn't dare to say whether those rebels should exist or not.

"Don't think about it, let's survive here first. Liu Jingyun said.

"Could it be that the emperor has known about this for a long time, so he chose us as resurrected people to become immortal birds and carry out some tasks to consult corrupt officials?" Su Yuanhang asked guessingly, he clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Lao Liu, do you think my guess is right? We may be a sharp blade for Your Majesty to eradicate corrupt elements in the future, great, great, long live my emperor, my emperor is wise!"

Liu Jingyun shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, let's survive first." ”
