At that time, the leaders of the surrounding villages and towns surrendered to Dayi and submitted to Yi Tianxing. In order to stabilize people's hearts and appease the leaders of these surrendered forces, they were promised that they could serve in the fairy city they built for ten years. In these ten years, if there were no major mistakes or errors, their positions would not be replaced. This can be said to be a great favor.
Every city lord is of the third rank.
Now, the six ministries have all been promoted from the second rank to the first rank. The position of the Lord of the Immortal City has always been the third rank, and there has been no change.
The career position of the fortune cannot be changed at will, and this is especially true for the top career position.
There are a large number of Dayi Immortal Cities, and there will be more in the future. If the rank of the industry is improved, the pressure on the Dayi Empire will be too great. If the luck cannot be increased, it will be dragged down. This is obviously impossible. The third rank is the most appropriate rank.
Now, if you are promoted to the imperial dynasty, even if you are a third-grade professional, you will have a 56-fold increase in luck. I don't know how many people envy you. You are still one of the top leaders of Dayi.
Enjoying the increase in luck of the third-grade position over the years is definitely a great opportunity. The speed of cultivation improvement is far beyond that of ordinary people. It is many times better than when I was in charge of a village or a town. Now the ten-year deadline has come. How to treat these masters who originally established villages and towns and are now immortal cities is a big problem.
After all, the immortal city they were in was built by them from the beginning, and after ten years, it also had a great influence. Of course, it was also an impact on the reputation of Dayi.
"Well, I have already stated in advance that all the leaders of the forces, after joining Dayi, will be promoted to the lords of the immortal city and have the opportunity to continue to rule the original immortal city for ten years. After ten years, no matter who they are, they must be rotated. They will be transferred to other immortal cities to serve as the city lord, or transferred to the court to serve in other positions. The capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted."
Yi Tianxing said after a slight hesitation.
This was the national policy formulated back then, which was to appease those forces that joined Dayi. In ten years, even if the other party was insufficiently capable, the ten-year increase in luck, salary, etc. would be enough to make up for it, or even more than enough.
These ten years are also a test. If you manage the fairy city in an orderly manner and make it flourish, then naturally, if you have outstanding abilities, it will be easy to be transferred or even promoted. If you are mediocre, these ten years will be compensation. You will either be demoted or removed from your position and demoted to a commoner. Of course, as long as you do not break the law, you are still a citizen of Dayi. Whether you do business or practice, there are no restrictions. You may not have the ability to govern a place, but you may have a talent for practice.
This policy must be implemented.
Although the Great Yi Dynasty, with its powerful star network and convenient teleportation array, would not allow these immortal cities to have any separatist or distant emperors, it was not a good thing to serve in one area for too long. Rotation was a national policy that had to be implemented.
"Yes, a ten-year deadline. This is national policy, and you should not joke with me. It should be implemented!"
Huang Chengyan spoke.
This is to eliminate hidden dangers as much as possible.
"Let the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Speech handle this matter together. First, they will conduct an assessment and then come up with a charter. The immortal cities to be replaced must also come up with a list. If there are unqualified people, they will be assigned from the reserve officials."
Yi Tianxing nodded and finally made the final decision.
"Also, when the third imperial examination is held, we must ensure that there are sufficient reserve talents for the follow-up."
Yi Tianxing continued.
The previous two imperial examinations brought Dayi a large number of talents and ensured the foundation for Dayi's expansion. Although it is not possible to expand outward on a large scale now, expansion always exists, but the speed is not fast, and the talent reserve still needs to be quickly followed up.
After one or two years of settling down, there will certainly be a large number of talents waiting for the opportunity to advance through the imperial examinations.
"Your Majesty is wise. The whole world is really looking forward to the imperial examination. Many talented people are waiting silently. This time, with the opportunity of the promotion to the imperial dynasty, we can just hold an imperial examination to select talents from all over the world."
Xun Yu nodded in agreement, but then changed the subject and said, "But the imperial examination is a matter that concerns the foundation of the country's destiny. We should complete the planning and set the rules so that we have laws to rely on and evidence to follow in the future."
"I second the motion!!"
"Minister Xun is absolutely right."
The ministers in the hall echoed. Standardizing the imperial examination system also has the effect of stabilizing the people's hearts.
"Let's put it this way. From today on, Dayi will hold an imperial examination every three years. Each time it starts in March, and goes through the preliminary selection, and finally the ten imperial examinations. From now on, unless there are major changes, the date will not be changed. Even if there are additional imperial examinations for other reasons, it will not affect the three-year period. Imperial examinations that are not held within the three-year period can be considered as special examinations. This time, it will be considered as a special examination."
Yi Tianxing hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
Once every three years, no more, no less, just right. It also allows other talented people to concentrate on their studies after failing once, and take their skills to a higher level.
"The Emperor is wise and wise."
In the hall, the ministers looked at each other and agreed at the same time.
Afterwards, when there were no other major events, Cao Zhengchun also announced his retirement from court.
In the Imperial Garden.
Yi Tianxing and Cai Yan walked side by side, not caring about their image. Cai Yan held Yi Tianxing's arm, while he held his arm around her waist. They walked slowly, looking at the flowers that were already in full bloom around them, admiring the spectacle of the flowers competing for beauty.
"Souji, your pregnancy has reached more than two years. Do you feel like giving birth?"
Yi Tianxing touched Cai Yan's bulging belly with a very gentle movement.
When Feng Ling and the others were born, they had already discovered that they were pregnant. It was December of the ninth year of the Eternal Calendar, and now it is already May of the twelfth year of the Eternal Calendar. It has been more than two years, and the pregnancy period is so long. It can be seen that the higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the longer it takes to give birth to a child.
"Well, it should be soon. I feel that the fetus's nutrient absorption rate has begun to slow down, and the fetal movements have become more frequent. It should be not far from birth."
When Cai Yan heard this, a hint of maternal radiance immediately appeared on her face, and she smiled and said, "I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl this time."
"Haha, I like both boys and girls. They are all my children. There is no difference. I have said this a long time ago. Besides, Xianhuang and the others are all very good." Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
"Husband, aren't you afraid that there are too many little girls around you?"
When Cai Yan heard this, she looked at him with a smile.
When the fetus is in the body and has not yet been born, it is protected by the power of innate creation. It is impossible to tell the gender of the fetus in the belly by general methods. Of course, if you forcefully detect it, it will inevitably affect the power of creation in the fetus and cause some bad consequences. Under normal circumstances, no one will try to spy on these things, and it is not possible to deduce the secrets of heaven. The fetus has not been born, and the cause and effect do not exist.
"Not many. There are seven days in a week, thirty days in a month, and three hundred and sixty-five days in a year. If we take turns, no matter how many days there are, they are not enough to change." Yi Tianxing said with a smile. There is no need to be serious between husband and wife, and it also shows another side of himself. A few humorous words and some teasing are no lack of spice for the relationship between husband and wife.
"It would be inappropriate if all of them were princesses. This time, Sister Wan'er is pregnant, and so are Sister You'er and Sister Qing'er. I believe they will give birth to a prince. As for Sister Xue'er and Sister Hongluan, your husband should also visit them more often. We should try to get them pregnant as soon as possible."
Cai Yan smiled and said, "Other Zhaojis don't understand, but one thing is clear: as long as a woman is pregnant and has children, her body and mind will change."
"Okay, Zhao Ji, let's talk about these things later. Today, it's rare that we are alone together. Why don't we go to the people and make a private visit to see the people's lives and understand their sentiments."
Yi Tianxing changed the subject and said.
"OK."
When Cai Yan heard this, she couldn't help but show a hint of interest, and she rarely showed a little girl's attitude.
"Let's go, we enter the teleportation array and teleport to wherever we are."
Yi Tianxing said immediately.
This can be considered an incognito visit that can be carried out at any time.
Where exactly it will go depends on God’s will.
Without hesitation, the two of them changed their appearance and clothes, and their temperament became natural. They then stepped into the teleportation array, and wrapped in an invisible force, they appeared in any fairy city in Dayi.
"Banyu City, why is the name of this fairy city a bit weird?"
Cai Yan saw the memorial archway erected next to the teleportation array and said with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Haha, the name of Banyu City has a history. Don't you two know the history of this fairy city when you come to Banyu City?"
Next to the teleportation array, a young man with a shrewd face and lively eyes said with a smile. He is a broker in Banyu City, specializing in guiding merchants who come to Banyu City for sightseeing or even for business. His name is Monkey. Of course, this is definitely a nickname, and he does the job of a broker.
If you are just a guide, one eternal coin per day. If you need to do other things, it will be charged separately.
After a few words, the monkey revealed his identity.
Needless to say, Yi Tianxing didn't need this eternal coin, so he hired him immediately.
"Tell me, what is the origin of this Banyu City."
Yi Tianxing asked calmly.
"The climate in the area where Banyu City is located changes very quickly. Most of the time, it is sunny one moment and cloudy the next. It rains half the day and is sunny the other half. The unique climate gave the Fairy City this name."
The monkey said with a grin.
There are many fairy cities named after their climate. This Half Rain City is no exception. It is not that rare.
"Does Banyu City have any unique specialties? Are there any strange people or things? If so, tell us about it. If you tell a good story, you will be rewarded." Yi Tianxing said after nodding his head.
"Banyu City certainly has its own specialties, the most famous of which is the rain bamboo shoots..."
The monkey introduced everything in detail, and at this moment, a lively discussion came from the market in front.
