288. Mirage (7th Update!)

Seeing this task, the smile on Zhang Dongyun's face disappeared.

He smacked his lips.

And literacy again?

Yes, that's right, the city is now very expanding, and the population base is growing massively.

Naturally, the illiteracy rate has also increased rapidly.

But now it's too difficult for the population to become literate.

Now Chang'an City includes the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty in the past, as well as most of the Western Zhou Dynasty and most of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The number of people in this group can no longer be used as a unit of "100 million", but at the level of 1 billion.

To put it more harshly, it can even be measured in tens of billions.

With such a huge population base, coupled with the ancient background of this world, the illiteracy rate has exploded.

If you want to eradicate illiteracy for such a large base of people, it will take manpower and material resources to pay it, but it is not so easy.

Zhang Dongyun patted his head.

In view of the consistent urine nature of the system, Zhang Chengzhu actually made some preparations in advance.

For example, the construction and continuous expansion of the 16 guards in Chang'an.

So although it won't be crushed as soon as the task is released, at least it can be completed quickly.

But in the past year or so, the pace of expansion has been so rapid that the city lord Zhang has somewhat neglected the work of cultural literacy.

When Shen Herong was there, he often did it.

But first, she didn't know that Zhang Dongyun wanted to urgently complete the task in the shortest possible time, and secondly, in the past few months, she chased Chu Shaoguang and Ying Xiaoxiao to Middle-earth, not in the city.

So now re-grasping the task of literacy gives Zhang Dongyun a headache.

Of course, it is not without good news.

The end of the second talent selection ceremony has raised the administrative capacity of Chang'an City by a lot of grades.

Some people were directly intercepted by City Lord Zhang himself before they had time to join the Tianshu Hall or the local Shangxing Luo Department.

He mainly intercepted Confucian practitioners who were cultivating in the body, and then sent everyone to the local area one after another, spreading out and establishing academies at all levels to teach and educate people.

Although this made countless politically aspiring scholars seem to hit a wall head-on, considering that this may be a new round of assessment for everyone in Chang'an, everyone still carried out the order steadfastly.

Confucian cultivators who have reached the second realm can have very good results if they have the magical power of Jinxin and embroidered mouth, and use it to teach and educate people.

The opening of the great Confucian classes above the sixth realm can produce an almost initiating effect.

It's still the same, Zhang Dongyun doesn't ask them to teach the people any big truths, as long as they try to teach the most people to read and write in the shortest possible time.

Some people who were accustomed to carrying private goods during lectures were banned by Zhang Dongyun.

In order to prevent people from discovering the true scope of the invincible city, Zhang City Lord's literacy campaign this time targeted the entire eastern frontier.

However, on the surface, the closer to Chang'an, the more knowledgeable Mr. Teach becomes.

In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly a manifestation of strengthening Chang'an's prestige and rule.

But in fact, in private, only Zhang Chengzhu himself knew that this was to use good steel on the blade.

After all, the Invincible City has not yet covered the entire Eastern Frontier.

And to complete the task, in fact, as long as the current real coverage of the Invincible City, that is, the entire Tang Land and most of the Qi and Zhou Lands, can complete the literacy standard.

Outside the range, of course, cultural popularization must be continued, but there is no need to set the standard extremely strict as in the scope of Invincible City.

Being able to run private schools in academies and educate people all over the world is also part of the ideal for some Confucian practitioners.

For the other part of the people who aspire to the power of the eunuch road, this is regarded as the assessment of Chang'an, so they also try their best to complete the task.

The current education undertaking of the entire Chang'an City has begun to be in full swing.

Zhang Chengzhu stared at the city's Chinese blindness rate and asked the system to accurately calculate to multiple decimal places.

As a result, the current rate of illiteracy is declining at a rate that can be seen by the naked eye, changing by the minute.

However, it will take time to complete the task and meet the standard, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

After Zhang Dongyun assigned the task, he no longer paid special attention to it, but focused on his own martial arts practice.

And so the time passed slowly.

Until one day, from the north, a message suddenly came.

"Underwater Jade??"

Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Wuyun in the Tianshu Palace, his eyebrows raised slightly.

The person in front of him was Chen Xingwen, the elder of the Northern Qi Fog Heavenly Peak.

The other party's expression was solemn: "Mr. Yu, the head of this faction personally went to the bottom of the North Sea to investigate, and confirmed that it was the undersea Xuanyu, although the quality is not yet certain, but the quantity is indeed huge, but it is sealed in the ice, and it is difficult to break it." ”

In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun was a little moved.

The undersea jade, like the Mountain God Rock, is a treasure that is conducive to the cultivation of martial artists.

If you can get a large number of high-quality undersea jade, then the speed of your own martial arts cultivation will definitely increase again, and you will impact the Martial Emperor realm in a shorter time.

However, the ice that even Lin Ying, a martial arts master of the Ninth Realm, couldn't break?

Mr. Wuyun's expression returned to calm: "Let Li Jie go to Beihai to have a look." ”

Elder Chen Xingwen of Wutian Peak received the order, and then went to see Li Jie, the deputy head of Tang Land.

When Li Jie heard this, he did not procrastinate, and immediately set off for Beihai.

But soon news came back that although Li Jie could shake the ice at the bottom of the sea, his strength alone was still insufficient, and more people were needed to help.

Zhang Dongyun was amazed.

Li Jie has broken through to the tenth realm of martial arts and achieved the body of a martial emperor.

With his own strength, he can almost move mountains and reclaim the sea, but he can't even break the ice?

Zhang Dongyun simply stopped sending others, but went out in person.

Mr. Zhang re-landed on the head of the beetle snake meteorite, and then was carried by the meteorite, and traveled through the earth and all the way north.

The meteorite under him is already the Demon Emperor, and the speed of the earth is much faster than before.

It didn't take long for them to reach the northern part of Dongjiang and were about to enter the North Sea.

The Meteorite has now been promoted to the Demon Emperor, completely purifying the bloodline, and all the characteristics of the dragon clan have been faded, and it is completely indistinguishable from the real pure-blood beetle snake.

He loved the earth and the fire, and hated the watery place.

But at this moment, Zhang Dongyun stood above him, he didn't say a word, and plunged directly into the cold North Sea.

The barren sea around Dongjiang is surrounded by east, west, north and south, and if you have to pick a meteorite that you don't like the most, it happens to be Beihai.

Not only the water, but also the cold.

However, the meteorite is just a natural aversion, and although the North Sea is cold, it can't hurt him.

The scales around the meteorite opened and closed, and a black mist mixed with red light and Mars gushed out, surrounding him and Zhang Dongyun together, blocking the sea water into the distance.

Around their bodies, they can't touch the slightest bit of seawater.

Following the route reported by everyone in Qidi, the meteorite carried Zhang Dongyun all the way to the ocean nearly 10,000 miles away from the coastline.

The beetle snake dives while resisting the undercurrent around it.

Soon, two people could be seen underwater.

One is the deputy head of Tang Land, Li Jie, the master of Dahe Longmen.

The other is the popular candidate for the current head of Chang'an Qidi, Lin Ying, the head of Wutian Peak.

One tenth realm, one ninth realm, so that the two of them can stay in this undercurrent for a long time, squeezing the bottom of the sea of the dead at any time.

The rest had to wait close to the land.

"Mr. Zhang. ”

Li Jie and Lin Ying saw Zhang Dongyun and saluted respectfully.

Zhang Dongyun bowed slightly, and then looked down.

There, black.

It's not an abyssal pit, it's a dark jade under the sea.

The jade is pure black with a slight fluorescence.

The black jade is surrounded by a thick layer of ice, like an iceberg sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Zhang Dongyun stretched out his palm and pressed it on the surface of the ice, concentrating on it.

"Sir, it's up to me and Li Jie to join forces to break the ice. Snake Meteor said from the side.

Zhang Dongyun didn't answer, and only smiled after a while: "The two of you joining forces are not enough to break such a solid ice, no, it should be said that you are not enough to solve the opponent here." ”

Hearing this, Li Jie, Meteorite, and Lin Ying were all stunned, and then looked around vigilantly.

However, after observing for a long time, they found no trace of the enemy.

The two of them turned their eyes back, looked at the calm Mr. Zhang, and then looked at the iceberg in front of them.

Since there is no surrounding, could it be that it is right in front of you?

But they didn't notice who was hiding in the iceberg......

"In terms of true cultivation, the other party may not be comparable to you, but she is in the undersea Xuanyu, and with the help of the undersea Xuanyu, she has greatly increased her supernatural powers. Zhang Dongyun said.

Hearing this, Li Jie and the Snake Meteor looked at each other, thoughtful.

"Underwater Xuanyu, in addition to the fact that Terran warriors can use it to practice martial arts, to a certain extent, it seems that it can be blessed with spells or supernatural powers against divine souls......" The Snake Meteor muttered to himself.

"Illusion!" Li Jie blurted out.

As soon as this concept is generated in the mind, it is as if some invisible existence has been broken.

Lin Yingxiu's strength was one level lower, and it was difficult to detect it for a while.

At this time, the beetle snake meteor and Li Jie looked at the iceberg in front of them, and the scene suddenly became different.

The ice is in the bottom corner of the dark jade at the bottom of the sea, and there seems to be something hidden.

When a man and a demon got closer and looked closer, they found that it was a huge shell.

"Mirage!"

Li Jie and the beetle snake meteor suddenly realized.

Zhang Dongyun patted the iceberg: "Now, do it." ”

Li Jiedang slapped his palms out together on the huge iceberg.

The beetle snake meteor also had a burst of fire in its eyes, and the earth's core fire turned into reality and landed on the iceberg.

This time, Lin Ying seemed to have some kind of invisible existence broken in front of him.

Then he watched the ice slowly melt.

It turned out that everyone was in a hallucination before, thinking that they could not solve the iceberg when they hit it, but in fact, they did not touch the iceberg at all.

Now the tenth realm of one person and one demon made a move, and the iceberg was instantly disintegrated and shattered.

The huge shell, after shaking a few times, seemed to have an air flow spewing out from the two shells.

The scallop then broke through the sea at a speed that was not in keeping with its size, and then fled into the distance as fast as it could.

However, she had just rushed out, and before she could run far, a hand stretched out in the air and directly pressed the huge shell back into the mud and sand on the bottom of the sea.

Zhang Dongyun calmly stretched out his hands and broke the shell to both sides.
