Chapter 447: Bringing Beauty to Appreciate the Flowers (2)

A bunch of showmen looked at Ruan Zun, with unconcealed contempt and ridicule in their eyes. Vertices M. updates the fastest

In this world, the spirits occupy the ruling class of the country by virtue of their powerful force. The majority of mortal people have to struggle to adapt to this political structure, either trying their best to become spiritual beings or trying to excel in another realm.

This field is reading.

In the feudal era, everything was inferior, only reading was high.

Mortal readers, through painstaking reading of poetry and books, are familiar with the various concepts of the ancient sages and master many methods of governing the country. However, spiritual scholars often focus on the cultivation of spiritual power, pursuing the supreme realm of spiritual power cultivation, and basically have no time to take care of reading through these various miscellaneous books on governing the country.

On this continent of gods and demons, many countries have set up various systems for selecting talents. In the case of the Song Kingdom, the selection of talents is divided into two types: literary and martial arts.

Wenju, as the name suggests, is to select scholars with the idea and ability to govern the country as officials and govern the country through the reading examination. These reading examinations are divided into the college examination, the township examination, the meeting examination and the palace examination.

The college examination is held by the state capital, and those who pass the examination are called Xiucai.

The township examination is held by the provincial government, and only Xiucai is eligible to participate, and those who pass the examination are called lifters.

The examination is held by the Ministry of Rites of the state, and only those who lift it are eligible to participate, and those who pass the examination are called tributes.

The palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and only the tributes were eligible to participate, and those who passed the examination were called jinshi. Among them, the most outstanding people will be awarded by the emperor himself with the titles of Yuanyuan, Bangyan, and Tanhua.

Wuju is the same. It is also divided into four levels, namely Wu Xiucai, Wu Juren, Wu Gongshi, and Wu Jinshi. However, the selection of martial arts mainly relies on the cultivation and evaluation of spiritual power and spiritual skills, as well as the understanding and application of military strategies and military management concepts.

Most of the people produced by Wuju will join the Beijing division and the armies of various places, and even garrison the border passes.

Although Wenju sounds more advanced than Wuju, and it is easier to grasp the power of all levels of the country, but in reality, especially after the imperial court explicitly stipulated that the monarch of a prefecture must be the deputy hall master of the Demon Suppression Branch, and must be a spiritual scholar born in Wuju, the officials produced through Wuju have even mastered all levels of power from the capital division to the local level.

Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, this sentence, from ancient times to the present, is a wise saying.

However, out of anger at their own lack of spiritual power, the literati officials at all levels produced by the literary examination would often despise the martial arts officials even more from the bottom of their hearts, ridiculing them as walking corpses who only care about cultivating their bodies, have no thoughts, and do not have brains.

And the officials produced by the martial arts test despised even more mortal officials who were almost powerless in their eyes and only had the share of slaughter in front of the demonic beasts.

Now, what Ruan Zun is facing is the strange gaze of those who read.

At this point, Du Shen was quite embarrassed, and lowered his head and wanted to pull Ruan Zun away. There is no way, after the Song State established itself, it paid great respect to the scholars, implemented the policy of emphasizing literature over military force, and using civilian officials to suppress military attachés. For Xiucai, there is a preferential treatment of not kneeling down when he arrives at the county office.

When Xiucai saw the county master, he could straighten his waist, let alone treat you as an ordinary spiritual priest with no official rank in a small town.

However, in this case, the spirit priest could not do it yet. If you do it, it will definitely be a loss for the spirits, and the guards of the county government or the demon suppression hall will immediately arrest him, regardless of right and wrong, first a board. And the result of the judgment is often that the majority of people are favoritism.

Who makes people mortal? How strong are your spiritual warriors, and if you touch some people, they will break their tendons and bones. On the street, a Rolls-Royce hits a bicycle, who do you say is justified?

If there is no such balanced policy, I am afraid that the country will be in chaos long ago. Who let the number of mortals account for more than ninety percent of the total number of the nation?

Even if it is a mortal, who is willing to be a slave all his life and be ordinary forever, and who does not want to enjoy a better life?

Therefore, there is a reason why that Xiucai dares to sneer at Ruan Zun in person.

Behind him is a portrayal of the entire Song class.

"You asked me to make a poem in front of you?" Ruan Zun looked at the Xiucai, his eyes full of provocation, "Why, don't you compete with me face to face?

The talents looked at him with even colder eyes, full of mockery.

"What a barbarian, a spiritual priest, who wants to compare his strength with us literati. ”

"Sure enough, they are people who live by strength, but sadly, they are useless except for their own spiritual power. ”

"Many spiritual priests, I heard that they don't know a single big word. ”

"Wrist wrestling? That's what some country folk do, and it's really insulting for him to say that!"

......

Listening to these remarks, I was really angry.

You Mei was already full of anger. She is a delicate beauty, and she is also a spiritual warrior, and when she is with Ruan Zun, she is also classified as "a person who lives by strength", "a barbarian", "a person who doesn't know a big character", and "a country villager" all the way.

For a woman, it is strange not to be angry when she hears such words.

Anyway, these talents are the talents of the Song Dynasty, not her talents in Peach Blossom Mountain. beat them, and the Song court couldn't control it. Thinking of this, she was ready to do it.

However, as soon as Ruan Zun stretched out his hand, he stopped her.

At the beginning, when they saw that she still had the intention of making a move, those talents were startled at first, and their faces were a little afraid. But as soon as Ruan Zun stopped him, the panic on the faces of the talents disappeared immediately, and they suddenly became arrogant again.

Immediately, another Xiucai said: "We just said a few words, and if the words are not good, are you going to beat people? So, what other royal methods are there in this world?"

"No wonder, it's just a group of brainless people who do things with strength and impulse!"

"If they dare to act angrily because of their words, the government of Taolin Town will not let them go!"

Hearing two more sentences of "no brains" and "relying on strength and impulsiveness to do things", You Mei was already so angry that her eyes turned black. Ruan Zun shook his head at her, stopping her impulse. He turned around again and asked the group of Xiucai: "Everyone, I listen to what you mean, that is, the difference between the spiritual priests and you mortal scholars is that you have brains, and the spiritual priests are stupid people who only know how to boil their bodies and have no brains, and they can't even make a limerick, but?"

"That's good!" said the leader of the group of Xiucai, surnamed Hao, with squinted eyes.

"What if I can do it?" asked Ruan Zun.

The talents all laughed again. Hao Xiucai said: "To make poetry, you have to respond to the situation, rhyme, and have a sense of meaning." If you do it, and we all agree that it's okay, then we'll take back what we just said. ”

"Is that all?" Ruan Zun smiled.

"You are Brother Du's current owner. I heard Brother Du say that he is helping you collect and sort out all kinds of secrets about the spiritual cultivation world inside and outside Qingzhou, and you even spend a lot of money to buy useful news. There is an ancient book in my family, which is passed down by the ancestors, called Baozhu Temple Zhiyi. If you get our approval, I'll give you this book!"

There is such a thing! Ruan Zun's heart fluttered. Not to mention anything else, just the five words of Baozhu Temple Zhiwei are enough to move his heart.

"What if I can't do it?" Knowing that it is not easy for his poems to be recognized by these talented people who have read poetry books a lot, Ruan Zun still asked the other party's conditions first.

"In front of all the scholars in Taolin Town, kneel down to us, admit our mistakes, and admit that the way out of spiritual cultivation is better than reading the books of the sages! In this way, we should encourage young people and young people not to rush to the path of spiritual cultivation that cannot be forced, but to ask more questions about their own hearts, read more books of the sages, and contribute to the country!"

Hao Xiucai said resolutely.
