I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory-Chapter 329.1
Chapter 329.1
In the following days, Lin Beifan was living carefreely.
Whenever he had free time, he would tease Yaoyao, watching her grit her teeth in a mix of resistance and acceptance, which filled Lin Beifan with immense satisfaction. No matter how mischievous you are, in the end, youve been tamed by me!
If youre not convinced, well see who is superior in bed.
Besides that, what Lin Beifan cared next about was the imperial examination and the military selection.
During these days, apart from preparing for the wedding, the most important thing in Great Xia was to hold the imperial examination and military selection to recruit outstanding talents to serve the country.
Your Majesty, up to now, the number of people registered for the imperial examination has reached 300,000. Due to the large number, we may need to hold multiple sessions, reported Li Linfu, the Minister of Rites.
Lin Beifan was surprised: That many?
You should know that last years imperial examination registration was just over 100,000, and that included many Apprentice Scholars teaching in Great Xia. And now, in just one year, it has broken through to 300,000.
The number of people in our own country who meet the registration requirements is only about twelve or thirteen thousand.
That is to say, nearly 200,000 of these talents are from outside.
And they must be Advanced Scholars to participate.
More than 200,000 Advanced Scholars, what a terrifying number that is!
An empire that has been operating for a thousand years may not be able to nurture so many Advanced Scholars!
Li Linfu continued his report: Up to now, the total number of registrants is 302,183, among which there are 191,837 Advanced Scholars and 110,346 Apprentice Scholars, setting a historical precedent!
The reason why so many talents are attracted to come here is entirely because Great Xia has become the number one empire in the world today, rich and powerful, awe-inspiring all around, and talents from all countries cannot help but aspire to join us!
Your Majesty, this is inseparable from your wise leadership, it is the prosperous empire that you have built with your own hands!
Lin Beifan was very pleased: This flattery is well done, Ill accept it! Remember when our Great Xia was just a small kingdom, hardly any talents were willing to stop by, and development was particularly difficult! Now, without any promotion, they come on their own! Hahaha
What Your Majesty said is very true. As the saying goes, build the nest to attract the phoenix. Now our Great Xia is now the biggest phoenix nest under heaven, so its completely understandable that talents are flocking to us! Li Linfu said with a smile.
With so many people, its inevitable that some impostors will slip through! So keep a close eye on it for me, and dont let anyone from the noble families sneak in! Lin Beifan instructed.
Yes, Your Majesty! Li Linfu acknowledged the order.
Lin Beifan turned to Cao Cao, the Minister of War.
Cao Cao immediately reported: Your Majesty, the military selection is also ready! Up to now, a total of 36,130 people have registered! Among them, there are 13 Innate masters, 8,700 first-rate experts, and 25,300 second-rate experts
Lin Beifan was a bit stunned: There are even Innate masters registering, isnt that a bit much?
Cao Cao smiled: Your Majesty, you may not be aware! Over the years, as Great Xia has flourished, we have no shortage of Innate masters, so we havent recruited from outside anymore! However, there are still many strong individuals who have a desire to serve the country but lack the means, so they can only go through the military selection, hoping to be noticed by Your Majesty!
I see! Lin Beifan nodded.
After years of nurturing and development, the number of Innate masters in their empire had reached 180.
The number of first-rate experts was even larger, having already exceeded ten thousand.
Not to mention far away, just in the imperial palace, there are already over 30 Innate masters guarding the palace, and the Imperial Guard are all first-rate experts, with second-rate experts being rare.
The small number of Innate masters was no longer a concern for Lin Beifan.
Therefore, Lin Beifan no longer had an interest in recruiting more experts.
With many experts under his command eagerly waiting, it was enough to cultivate them.
With his current resources, couldnt he cultivate hundreds of Innate masters from the tens of thousands of first-rate experts?
So, if external experts want to join Great Xia, they can only do so by participating in the martial examination. This situation reminded Lin Beifan of the civil service examinations in his previous life. Its so competitive that it makes you question your life choices!
Lets do everything by the book! Lin Beifan declared.
Yes, Your Majesty! Cao Cao acknowledged the order.
Just then, a peculiar group arrived at the capital city of Great Xia.
This group was very strange. It included men and women, old and young, all of whom appeared to be experts with strong auras.
However, their attire was very ordinary, barely distinguishable from that of common folk.
They looked around curiously, and one of the young heroes couldnt help but exclaim, This place is so lively! The hustle and bustle and the endless stream of horses and carriages Ive traveled to hundreds of cities and have never seen one as bustling as this!
And its not just lively! another young hero pointed out.
Look over there, so many scholars! They clearly have a deep knowledge of literature. And over there, each one has a strong presence, at least at the level of a first-rate expert! Some even seem as strong as us, if not stronger!
And the patrolling officers here are at least of the third-rate level! And that army that just passed by, all of them are at the first-rate level! someone exclaimed in amazement.
Unbelievable, has Great Xia become this formidable?
