It was already dark, and Chu Cheng and Chu Le had already gone to bed. Looking at the empty house, Chu Nan felt helpless. After coming back, he thought there would be a few sleepless nights, but in the end, his wife and concubines all went into seclusion.
Sitting cross-legged on the couch, the distracting thoughts in my mind gradually disappeared, and I naturally entered a state of practice.
In fact, he has had the feeling of reaching the limit for a long time. He has the golden dragon of luck. When the golden dragon of luck declined, the great Han Dynasty could have a career. Now that he has the luck of the people of Kyushu, he can naturally condense the career status.
, and the effect is much stronger than that of the Han Luck Golden Dragon.
Invulnerability to all evil is the foundation, and more importantly, the ten times the speed of practice. No matter what he practices, he will be very fast. Even if his qualifications are not superior, his practice speed is not weaker than those of the top famous generals, or even faster.
In the past three years, even though his main energy was on the road and he did not practice hard, his spirit had already reached a limit and he had a feeling of breakthrough. However, Chu Nan didn't know what it was. Out of risk control,
Being used to it, he chose to suppress it.
Now that he knows that it is a sign of breakthrough, he will naturally not suppress it deliberately.
I just don't know if I suppressed it too hard before, which increased the barrier to breakthrough. Now that I let go, that feeling doesn't come back.
To give an inappropriate example, it’s like holding in the shit for many days and wanting to let it out, but being unable to pull it out all at once. It’s very uncomfortable, but there is no other way. He can only calm down, continue to visualize, and let the shit come out.
The breakthrough happened naturally, until at a certain moment, the feeling came~
Buzz~
Chu Nan felt as if his brain exploded for a moment, but the feeling seemed different from what Qiao Ying described. At that moment, it was as if his soul had left his body and his mind was wandering too far.
I don't know how long it took for her to return to her sheath. There was no change in her body, and there was no Qi produced as Qiao Ying said.
wrong.
Chu Nan discovered that his Qi was in his mind, near the Heavenly Eye, not in his body as Qiao Ying said.
He suddenly opened his eyes, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
You won’t be practicing poorly, right?
Just when he was surprised, the desk in front of him floated out of thin air as if it were weightless.
Chu Nan: "..."
By some strange combination of circumstances, I seemed to have unlocked another path of spiritual practice.
The energy in his mind seemed to float and disappear with heavy objects. It took Chu Nan a while to gradually master this power. This power was somewhat similar to the materialization of mental power in his previous life. He could use his mental power directly.
To attack and defend, you also consume your own energy.
Chu Nan didn't know whether it was because he suppressed the breakthrough for too long or because he was visualizing the eyes. In short, what he obtained after the breakthrough seemed to be something similar to telepathy, and he never felt the power of heaven and earth entering his body.
After getting familiar with it for a while, Chu Nan began to give up visualizing the eyes, and instead visualized several other influences. In addition to the Eye of True Sight, he also had the talents of Innateness, Sword God, and Body of Steel. The images visualized by these three talents
It's humanoid.
Next, the situation was almost as described by Qiao Ying, except that others usually only broke through once, but Chu Nan broke through four times.
When he woke up, he felt that his body seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, and he felt like he wanted to float.
This is going to God!
The genius outside the window has just turned white, and it doesn't take as long as Qiao Ying said.
He moved and stretched, and there was a sound like fried beans coming from his body, which made Chu Nan feel like a vulgar martial artist at this moment.
"Husband is awake?" In the room, Lu Lingqi came in at some unknown time, looked at him and nodded slightly.
"Madam? Are you out of seclusion?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Lingqi, a little surprised.
"Well, I woke up eight days ago." Lu Lingqi nodded.
Eight...eighth!?
Chu Nan looked at Lu Lingqi in shock: "How long have I been sitting here?"
"According to what Yingmei said, my husband's retreat will take half a month." Lu Lingqi said with emotion.
Half a month!?
Chu Nan was a little unbelievable.
"This is what happens after a breakthrough. Often, once you practice, you will sit there for several days without knowing how much time has passed." Lu Lingqi nodded.
I missed a lot of things!
Chu Nan sighed. In the past, he only heard that cultivating immortals took no time, but now he felt it for himself.
He stood up immediately and said that in his current state, he could be considered as having half a foot in the state of cultivating immortality.
Checking the lifespan, Chu Nan's depression suddenly disappeared. Now his lifespan has increased to two hundred, which is beyond the scope of human beings.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. My husband needs to go to the government office to discuss matters with everyone." Chu Nan stood up and said.
Although the growth in cultivation and realm is gratifying, I am not a hermit in the mountains and I have a lot to do.
Lu Lingqi smiled and said: "It's still early now. Even if my husband goes to the government office, I'm afraid the gentlemen won't arrive until the morning."
Chu Nan knocked on his head, feeling really anxious and confused.
Lu Lingqi stood up and said, "I'll go ask the kitchen worker to make some husband... uh... husband?"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Nan had already hugged him from behind, and his big hands skillfully reached into his arms.
"My husband is not hungry, madam. I haven't seen you in three years, and I miss you very much~"
Like an ordinary woman without any physical skills, Lu Lingqi was easily captured by Chu Nan. The curtains dropped, and pieces of underwear flew out from the curtains. The bed swayed rhythmically...
Three poles above the sun, the prime minister's office.
"Yesterday... I went back half a month ago and heard about what happened at the Qiren Pavilion." Chu Nan shook his head and looked at Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Liu Ye and the newly arrived Xu Shu who were sitting down, and sighed: "I thought, this
There are many problems.”
"Prime Minister, with the popularity of contemplation methods nowadays, if we follow the previous rules, I am afraid that half of the people in the world can enter the Hall of Strange People." Xu Shu stood up and bowed.
"I know that with the changes in the world, it is normal for the threshold for people to be admitted to the Museum of Strange People to increase. The problem is not here." Chu Nan looked at the crowd and said: "The original intention of setting up the Museum of Strange People is to collect people with magical powers from the people.
It is used by the court to prevent these strange people from taking a wrong path because they have no way to be promoted, which will cause a burden to the court. Secondly, it also gives the people at the bottom a way to be promoted so that they will not have no way to serve the country."
Everyone nodded. Chu Nan was born as a merchant. To put it harshly, he was a common trader and a pawn. Everyone had heard of how many obstacles he had encountered in order to enter the official career. Therefore, Chu Nan attached great importance to the promotion channels of civilian talents. This was also the reason for the establishment of the Qiren Pavilion.
original intention.
"But with the current method of recruiting people in the Qiren Hall, there is a lot of room for corruption. The owners of the Qirin Hall in various places are like the state shepherds and county guards in the past. They have a huge say in recommending talents. Let us make a hypothesis, teacher
I am the owner of a certain place in the Qiren Pavilion, and I am the local county governor. I want my son to take the path of the Qiren Pavilion and become an official, so I found the teacher. The teacher chose to help me because of his kindness. This is because the teacher has a noble character, but if
What would happen if the owner of the Qiren Pavilion is greedy for money or lust?"
"Nowadays, as people everywhere are getting richer, there are many wealthy families among the people who are willing to spend money to pave the way for their children. I believe there are many people. If this becomes a trend, then only the rich and powerful will be able to join the family in the future.
The Museum of Strange People? Doesn’t that go against the original intention of establishing the Museum of Strange People?”
The original intention of the establishment of the Qiren Pavilion was to provide a path for promotion for the people at the bottom, and at the same time, it could also tap out talents at the bottom. It can be said to be a win-win situation for the court and the people.
But in actual practice, as Chu Nan's momentum grew, the Qiren Pavilion also became a shortcut to becoming an official. This was a secret of the imperial court, but it was precisely because of this that it was remembered by countless people who liked to work hard.
"This matter... I haven't paid any attention to it." Chen Gong nodded. As the center of the imperial court, the prime minister's office was basically concerned with national affairs and the world situation, but not much attention was paid to the Qirin Pavilion, which was rooted among the people.
"Teacher, the Hall of Strange People is a facade for me to attract the most amazing people from all over the world. If one day, the people feel that this Hall of Strange People is out of reach and dare not come in when they see it, then the roots of our wait will begin to rot.
At that time, it may seem inconspicuous to follow the path of our predecessors, but once this root begins to corrode, it will be the beginning of our destruction. Perhaps this will take a long time, so long that it may not be truly revealed until two or three hundred years later.
, but by then, it will be hard to come back!" Chu Nan said solemnly.
"We have been able to reach this day only by relying on the people of the world to turn north. It doesn't matter what the nobles think of us, but if even the people of the world begin to resist us, we will really be enemies of the world. This cannot be done carelessly.
!" Chu Nan said solemnly.
"It's because I have dementia!" Chen Gong nodded, it was indeed his negligence in this matter.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has always been responsible for this matter, and the blame lies with me!" Xu Shu also stood up and said.
"This is not the time to hold people accountable. Time is still short. What I should be thinking about is how to make amends." Chu Nan shook his head.
"Prime Minister, I think we can add a rule. Those who have official status among the three clans are not allowed to enter the Qiren Hall." Xu Shu thought for a moment and suggested: "In addition, wealthy merchants' families are not allowed to enter the Qiren Hall. This can eliminate the space for rent-seeking.
, if these families have talents, they can find another way and do not compete with the people for profit!"
"What Yuan Zhi said is true." Chu Nan nodded with satisfaction, starting with those who might be seeking favoritism and eliminating them from the root, which greatly reduced the cost of governance.
"First of all, the owner of the Qiren Pavilion must increase supervision, and secondly, he cannot hold the position in one place for a long time, otherwise his roots will inevitably become deeper over time." Chen Gong stroked his beard and said.
The owner of the Odd Fellows Hall is usually responsible for managing the local Odd Fellows Hall, not the professor. He has great power and can easily form cliques if he stays in one place for too long.
Chu Nan nodded and said, "It's wonderful."
"The other thing is how to select. Jia believes that the assessment method used by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to select scholars can be used in the Hall of Strange People. The talent of the people who come to try to join is assessed. If they reach a certain standard, they will be admitted to the Hall of Strange People. Otherwise, they will be rejected.
This is also the most just way the court can do at the moment." Guo Jia thought.
Chu Nan smiled and said: "Very good."
Seeing that no one had any other ideas, Chu Nan thought for a while. What the three said could basically guarantee a rough fairness. Absolute fairness was impossible. He immediately decided to use these three methods to reform the Qiren Pavilion system. The Prime Minister's Mansion
The document must be circulated to various places as soon as possible, and the order will be executed immediately when it arrives!
