In the end, Bei Chenyue won the battle. The boy named Liu Zhao was not discouraged even though he was defeated, and he generously agreed to fight again in the future.
Mu Qianyu had a good impression of this boy and glanced sideways at Bei Chenrui. Bei Chenrui nodded and indicated that he had written it down in his notebook.
The assessment was over. Beichenye waved his hand and closed the secret realm. These children appeared in the valley again. Different from the expectations they had before entering, they all showed different expressions now, some were happy and some were disappointed.
Afterwards, the Taoist disciples made a comprehensive classification based on the number of cards they received and their talents. Among them, the best ones were given a blue flag, the middle ones were given a yellow flag, and the bottom ones were given a red flag.
This is a screening process, but for some reason, Mu Qianyu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw those unhappy children who got red flags.
There is nothing wrong with this rule, but once you see the disappointed faces of the children, it always feels a bit cruel.
After that, the major forces compete for each other. In just half an hour, depending on which mountain the children stand under, the sect can choose who among them to accept.
It was time for all the major sects to use all their strength. In an instant, many elders and deacons of the sects rushed down, and half of them were heading towards Bei Chenyue.
She performed so well in this assessment that it is hard not to be heart-warming, but everyone knows that this is just the tip of the iceberg of Nannan's strength.
Bei Chenrui and some of his wives also went down to try to get some good seedlings they saw.
The old sect leader of the Tianfu Holy Sect flew to Bei Chenyue's side with Tuoba Yao in person. The old sect leader said with a kind face:
"Little girl, we are the Xizhou Immortal Sect. Xizhou has rich spiritual energy and abundant resources. Our sect will also give you the best resources to practice. If you follow us, we will never bury a good young talent like you."
Bei Chenyue's big, flickering eyes looked at Tuoba Yao who was next to the old man. Isn't this ugly aunt the one who wants to steal her father?
She heard Uncle Shadow say that she even attacked her own mother, but she just couldn't beat her. She didn't want to practice with such a person.
Seeing the harmless look in the child's eyes, Tuoba Yao said, "Yes, my sister will take you to practice when the time comes, and I will definitely take good care of you."
After she finished speaking, she reached out to touch Bei Chenyue's head.
Bei Chenyue immediately dodged her hand, and her grandmother's voice refused firmly: "Thank you, grandpa and aunt, but I have my own heart and cannot change it."
Beichen Ye looked helpless, that's not the way to have someone's heart.
Tuoba Yao was a little embarrassed to be rejected, especially being called aunt. Is she that old?
"Little girl, do you know the difference between Xizhou and Dongzhou?" Old Sect Master Tuoba was still trying hard. He didn't believe that such a child could not be treated with such superior conditions as Xizhou.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. I'm really sorry for letting down grandpa's kindness."
Bei Chenyue finished speaking politely, walked straight to the foot of the mountain in front of Mu Qianyu, and said seriously: "This disciple has always admired the reputation of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and hopes to join the Imperial Academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Please allow the emperor's permission."
Beichen Ye: "That's not how admiration is used."
Mu Qianyu felt a little want to laugh when she heard her daughter's serious praise. This choice was expected by her, so she immediately said: "I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are very thirsty for talents. Anyone who wants to be admitted to the Imperial Academy of my Great Zhou Dynasty today will be accepted."
As soon as she said this, not only the major sects, but also the officials behind her were surprised. They had only wanted to select a dozen top talented disciples before, but why did they suddenly turn away all comers?
The Imperial College's training efforts are based on this standard. It would cost a lot of money to train a hundred disciples. But now that His Majesty has opened his mouth, there is no telling how many children will be willing.
After hearing this, the other sects deeply felt the gap between the imperial dynasty and the sects. They felt that resources were tight even if they accepted dozens of disciples, while the emperor could recruit everyone with his mouth open.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the eyes of almost all the children present lit up, especially those children who had been labeled with red labels and thought they had no hope of being elected. Hope suddenly filled their eyes again.
Won't they be eliminated too?
Entering the Great Zhou Dynasty is not a choice for inferiors, but a choice for superiors. Who doesn't know the strength of Great Zhou today? Which force is the opponent of Great Zhou that day?
Moreover, it is recognized that the Great Zhou Dynasty was wealthy, and its relationship with the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce could not be better, so resources would definitely not be scarce.
What’s more, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also the emperor of the Great Shang of Xizhou. Why worry about not having the opportunity to show off his skills in Xizhou after entering the Great Zhou Dynasty?
It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone, who wouldn't want to do it?
As a result, large numbers of children flocked to the foot of Mu Qianyu's mountain. Mu Qianyu was relieved to see these children but also a little worried, because in order to provide such a large number of children with top-notch resources, the imperial government might not be able to tighten their belts enough.
She was already ready to go to the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce to compete in the autumn wind. She really didn't expect that she would get to this point after working hard for so many years. Instead of getting richer, she would become poorer.
In fact, it's not that Da Zhou didn't have the strength to make money, but that the world was just established, and there were still many places that didn't have enough to eat due to years of war. She had to reduce taxes and open various regulations to benefit the people.
As a result, many places not only lost a lot of tax revenue, but the court even had to send money there every year.
In addition, the stability of the court and the construction of the army consume a lot of spiritual stones. Even though most of the money made by her Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce has been subsidized to the court, it is still stretched.
According to the calculations of the old men in the Ministry of Revenue, if the Zhou Dynasty did not experience more turmoil, it would take at least five years before the court would have money in its hands.
But if the Ministry of Revenue knew that there was such a huge expenditure, those old men would probably faint a few more times.
What should I do if the emperor is too prodigal? Waiting online, it’s quite urgent.
However, Mu Qianyu did not regret his decision. These children were the future of the imperial court. If they were not well cultivated, how would a strong imperial dynasty be?
As for money, there will always be money if you save some money and then go enjoy the autumn breeze.
A large number of children stood at the foot of Mu Qianyu's mountain, all of them with excited faces. Many of these children were being competed by other sects, but they had not changed their minds.
The faces of the father and daughter of the Tianfu Holy Sect suddenly became extremely ugly. Shouldn't their Immortal Sect in Xizhou be decapitated? Shouldn't they choose the disciples in the future?
