Chapter 242: Showing One's True Self in Public (1/2)

"Then let's split into two groups. I will test the children who have entered the city, the children waiting outside the city, and the children who keep rushing over. You will test them." Third Senior Sister Wei Weixian said with a sly smile.

The reason why Feng Tianzong came to help people test their qualifications was to spend more time with Third Senior Sister. If it wasn't for being with Third Senior Sister, how could he, the emperor, have time to come and help people test their qualifications? Isn't it uncomfortable to enjoy the service of beautiful palace maids in the harem?

"It's okay, Senior Sister. It's really difficult for the officials below to notify the people of the whole city. Then let me notify them. It's just right for the people to listen to the voice of their emperor." Feng Tianzong also said to Wei Weixian with a smile.

"I am your emperor Feng Tianzong. The people in the city lined up at the martial arts academy martial arts field, waiting for the children to be tested for their qualifications. The people outside the city should not wait at the city gate. Everyone should line up at the Golden Terrace. The yamen runners of the yamen should maintain order and let the people not make a mess." Feng Tianzong said softly.

With his magic power, his voice was sent to the ears of the people in the city, as if someone was talking to them. The people outside the city were the same. Everyone heard Feng Tianzong's gentle voice, without any arrogance.

When a smart superior is to the people at the bottom, he will show his friendly side. Only the officials below will see the majestic side of the leader.

Majesty is not for the people at the bottom. Feng Tianzong's rule over the northern border over the years has made his majesty as an emperor deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At this time, he needs to show his friendly side to win more people's hearts.

"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty talking to us?" Some people shook their heads left and right in disbelief, trying to find the person who was talking. But they found that the people around them were doing the same thing.

"It's Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Someone pulled his child to kneel on the ground and kowtow respectfully. Soon everyone followed and knelt down on the street.

The street was full of people kneeling, praising Emperor Feng Tianzong at the same time. "Your Majesty is really as kind as the legend says, and he enjoys the people together." Someone praised.

Standing on the tower of the inner city, looking at the people kneeling in the streets and alleys, Feng Tianzong's heart was filled with lofty sentiments. This is the country he built, and these are the people who support him.

He brought these people a stable life, and these people gave him back with taxes. Feng Tianzong felt that although he collected taxes from these people, he established Dashang and protected the people, and he also did what an emperor should do.

He established a fair order for the people, so that they can have a place to rely on when they are old, have a place to learn when they are young, have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. Live a good life that they dared not think of before.

Those taxes cannot be considered collected for nothing. If it weren't for him, the northern border would still sink in natural disasters and man-made disasters, and most of the people would still be working like cows and horses for those gentry and wealthy families.

Compared with the taxes they paid, the people did not suffer any loss. Less than fifteen minutes a day as taxes.

"Okay, everyone get up, the test will start soon, and everyone line up in an orderly manner." Feng Tianzong said to the people below.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. We are willing to go through fire and water for Da Shang, and we will not refuse death." The people below shouted in unison with great momentum.

In order to increase the population of Da Shang, Da Shang did not set a high marriage age for the people, encouraging everyone to have more children. Families with more children received a subsidy from the court.

People in Da Shang got married early, and men and women could get married at the age of sixteen. It was very common for people to have ten-year-old children at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six. Most of those who came with their children at this moment were young and strong men between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five. Some people even brought more than one child.

These people were a group of people who enjoyed the benefits of Da Shang's promotion of the Immortal Art of Transformation. Everyone practiced martial arts. In Da Shang, the spirit of martial arts was very strong. These people were also the most supportive of Feng Tianzong, and they were willing to fight for Da Shang.

"Good!" Feng Tianzong stepped on the clouds and flew into the sky, and a huge figure of an emperor appeared behind him. That was his image in a dragon robe and an emperor's crown.

The huge figure covered the sky and the sun, half of the city, and the entire Weiyang Palace. It was a picture of him sitting on the Golden Throne Hall.

He was flying in the air, and people on the ground could not see his face clearly, so it was very necessary to let the people see what their emperor looked like.

This huge figure was not only clearly seen by the people in the city, but also by the people outside the city and those who were on the official road.

Not only was it majestic, but there was also endless pressure, which made people want to worship. Behind Feng Tianzong's phantom was a huge black bird that symbolized the fate of the Shang Dynasty.

As the people bowed, endless dragon energy rushed towards Feng Tianzong. It was not that Feng Tianzong wanted to show off in front of the people, but that this behavior could actually increase the people's centripetal force and cohesion towards the Shang Dynasty.

Third Senior Sister Wei Weixian also looked at the Junior Brother in front of her with a dazed look. Although this Junior Brother she grew up with and had been with for more than 20 years, she felt a little strange at this moment.

The Junior Brother who couldn't keep up with the cultivation back then but always worked hard to cultivate has long since become the man who shines with endless light and stands facing the rising sun amid the cheers of the crowd, as if he is standing tall and proud. It makes people dazzled and can't help but yearn for him.

The cultivation level had long been beyond her reach, and her firm heart for seeking the truth could not help but waver at this moment.

"Junior brother~~~" Wei Weixian said in a low voice. But Feng Tianzong still heard it.

He turned around and gave the third senior sister a bright smile: "Senior sister, let's go, for the development and growth of our puppet sect, and for those qualified children to have a bright future."

"Okay." The third senior sister's feet also had auspicious clouds rising, and she took the initiative to extend a hand. Feng Tianzong smiled knowingly and grabbed the hand that was extended. The two of them stepped on the auspicious clouds, like a pair of immortal lovers. In the spotlight, they fell into the martial arts academy.

"Your Majesty!" Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing had already led the teachers of the martial arts academy to welcome the two in the martial arts arena.

The martial arts academy of Dashang has always been managed by Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing. Although Feng Tianzong did not notify them, they still rushed over.

For the matter of the emperor's disciples, not only the people below pay attention to it, but the two concubines also pay great attention to it. As long as the children have the qualifications, they will become apprentices on the spot. At this time, they certainly want to share the honor beside Feng Tianzong.

They also know very well that these children will all be immortal masters in the future. Although Da Shang is vigorously promoting the immortal skills of transformation, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of warriors. But it still cannot replace the lofty status of immortal masters.

Just looking at the hosts of some important workshops in Da Shang, all of them are immortal masters, it can be seen that the status of warriors in Da Shang is still far inferior to that of immortal masters.

So Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing still want to become the wives of these future immortal masters, at least they have to have a chance to contact these children and show their goodwill. They know very well that these children will become pillars of Da Shang in the future.

Feng Tianzong frowned slightly when he saw that the two of them had come. He was still holding the hand of the third sister, and the two concubines came. How should he introduce them?

In his heart, the status of the third sister must be above his many women.

"Get up, this is my third sister from my sect, you can just call me sister." Feng Tianzong said to the two concubines.

The third sister silently pulled her hand out of his hand, nodded coldly to Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing, and said nothing. In the eyes of immortals, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and the life levels of both sides are different. It's not that they are arrogant or high above and don't want to pay attention to people.

But they are unwilling to talk about friendship with mortals, because mortals have a short life. A few decades is just a few times of retreat for immortals. The better the friendship, the more sadness in the end, which affects the state of mind.

So they will try not to make friends with ordinary people. The third sister also holds the same idea. She has no intention of making friends with Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing.

"Third sister, these two are my concubines, Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing." Feng Tianzong also saw the idea of ​​the senior sister, so he only introduced them briefly.

It would be a bit disrespectful not to introduce them. He still likes these two women who help him govern the court. Can't embarrass them in front of so many officials and teachers.

Seeing this, Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing just called out "senior sister" and stood silently behind Feng Tianzong. With a cold face, Feng Tianzong knew that they felt wronged.

The attitude of the third senior sister was obviously a thousand miles away, and they felt that she looked down on them. However, at this time, Feng Tianzong could not appease the two concubines, and could only let it go with some heartache.

Senior sister is his eyeball, but Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing are also his little sweethearts! He will definitely feel distressed if he is wronged.

"Okay, the people have come in, let's start, let them line up and walk from here, come in from the east gate, and go out from the west gate. Line up in two teams.

We will call out the qualified children, and you are responsible for taking them to the teaching hall behind them for temporary placement." Feng Tianzong ordered.

Soon the people came in a line, and teams of people brought their children and walked past Feng Tianzong with expectations.

The adults didn't dare to look at Feng Tianzong's direction randomly, but the children looked around curiously, especially Feng Tianzong who was sitting high on the stands.

"What? Just walk under the stage and it's OK? Can this be detected?" After someone walked by, they found that no one stopped them and said in disbelief. They all had high hopes for their children.

"What do you know? Our emperor is a powerful immortal master with great magical powers and boundless magic power. As long as he looks at them from a distance, he can know whether these children have the qualifications. If they have the qualifications, he will keep the children.

How powerful is your majesty, how can you and I, ordinary warriors, understand?" Some people were full of admiration for Feng Tianzong. But while speaking. They were also a little disappointed, because their children were not able to stay.

Teams of people just walked by the stage, but Feng Tianzong never asked to keep them. Although the people were full of admiration for Emperor Feng Tianzong, they still hoped that his majesty could take a closer look at their children. What if they really had the qualifications but were missed?

Therefore, the people all walked very slowly in tacit agreement. Feng Tianzong considered that the third sister was only at the initial stage of foundation building and her spiritual awareness was insufficient, so he was afraid that she would not be able to detect it, so he did not ask the people to speed up.

The third sister was a little tired, but it was not a big problem.

"Wait, leave that child and his parents behind." Feng Tianzong said. This was the first time he had detected a qualified child.

Although his qualifications in spiritual affinity were not high enough, they were about the same as his in the past. If he did not have super comprehension or other special opportunities and talents, he would basically be a Qi-refining cultivator in this life, and he could not even break through the middle stage of Qi-refining.

However, although this kind of Qi-refining cultivator is useless to a large sect and will only waste resources, for the current, developing Dashang, every Qi-refining cultivator is a treasure.

Not only do they need to grow spiritual plants, but they are also needed in various workshops. Feng Tianzong also wants to expand various workshops. Especially the ironwood puppet workshop. With the increase in population, the ironwood puppets are not enough again.

There is also a need to expand the monster breeding garden again. With the increase in the number of monsters, the number of monsters giving birth every year is also increasing, and the monster breeding industry is expanding very fast.

There is also a shortage of manpower in this area. Feng Tianzong can only let those martial arts masters take over. However, they cannot do many things, and they still need cultivators to do them. Whether it is to display magical powers or to control the war, cultivators are needed.

The children who were called, the whole family happily followed the teacher into the teaching hall at the back. The people around them just looked at this family with envy.

They are the disciples of the emperor, and their future prospects can be predetermined. The future of this family will definitely be rich and prosperous, how can the people around them not envy them.

With the first one, there will be the second one. It can be said that there are very few people with the qualifications to cultivate immortals. Basically, there is only one in tens of thousands of people, which is really one in ten thousand.

Feng Tianzong even found two qualified people among the parents with children. It's a pity that these people are old, and it's basically hopeless to cultivate immortals, but people with qualifications are different after all. Even if they practice martial arts, they are martial arts geniuses who can sense spiritual energy. After they are promoted to innate in the future, their cultivation speed will be very fast. So Feng Tianzong kept all these people.
