Chapter 311: The Tang Dynasty has millions of officials, and the imperial examinations and military examinations are for brave generals, with strange questions
Emperor Xiao was among them, his deep pupils swept across the endless people and ministers, and also looked at Li Shimin, his heart was also excited.

Although Di Xiao knew that the Tang Dynasty in Journey to the West and the historical Tang Dynasty in his memory were two completely different concepts, but now that he saw it, he realized how superficial his thoughts were.

Not to mention the distant past, just within the Tang Dynasty, there were hundreds of millions of ministers. That's right, the vast Nine Provinces, carrying endless people, need countless ministers to manage, so countless ministers are needed.

Apart from the numerous ministers, the ministers who came here basically all had cultivation. And the more powerful the minister was, the higher his cultivation was.

Emperor Xiao was filled with emotion, but he was also puzzled and asked, "General, is the official rank of a minister in the Tang Dynasty related to his cultivation?"

"Of course it is related. Our Tang Dynasty occupies the nine states of the human race, and one state is divided into nine prefectures. Nine states means eighty-one prefectures. And one prefecture is divided into nine roads. One road is divided into nine counties. One county is divided into nine towns. One town is divided into nine townships. One township is divided into nine villages. One village is divided into nine li."

"With this division, too many officials are needed to manage it. And although the land of Jiuzhou is the land of our human race, because the spiritual energy in Jiuzhou is rich, some monsters are often born. Because of some troubles that happen to some human beings, some wronged souls and evil spirits will breed."

"Therefore, the management of the Tang Dynasty must have cultivation, otherwise it will be difficult to manage and protect the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, a borough head must at least be a human immortal. A village head must at least be an earthly immortal. The township head is a celestial immortal, the town head is a true immortal, the county head is a mysterious immortal, the county head is a golden immortal, the Taoist priest is a Taiyi realm, the head of a prefecture needs to be a Taiyi golden immortal, or the Daluo realm. And the head of a state must at least be a Daluo golden immortal."

"In addition to the civil officials, there are also troops stationed in each place. The people who lead the troops in each place must have the same cultivation as the civil officials. Therefore, we have countless officials in the Tang Dynasty, and each of them has cultivation."

"The people who can come here now are at least the heads of a county. The next are the ministers of the current dynasty and many nobles."

As Xue Rengui continued to tell the story, he gradually introduced some familiar civil and military officials to Di Xiao. The more Di Xiao learned, the more he discovered the vastness and power of the Journey to the West Tang Dynasty.

There are so many human beings, so many officials, so many powerful people, and so many monks.

As Di Xiao was thinking, Li Shimin had already drunk the wine in his glass. Then, with a glance, a eunuch slowly walked out, holding an imperial edict made of special divine materials and announcing: "The Heaven and Earth, humanity will prosper forever. Today, the Tang Dynasty of the human race will hold a civil and military ceremony that takes place once every thousand years."

"There are three topics for this exam: governing a region, compiling a Confucian or Taoist book, and practicing strategies! Those who choose to govern a region will enter the world of the imperial examination and become officials, responsible for managing hundreds of millions of people and handling all matters that occur during that time. The results will be calculated based on the results of the management."

"Those who choose to compile Confucian and Taoist books will enter a world of calligraphy, which contains endless classics. Candidates need to read countless classics and then rely on their own wisdom to compile a book. The results will be tested according to the literary spirit contained in the compiled book."

"If you choose to be a strategy practitioner, you will enter a chaotic human world where there will be rebellions, floods, earthquakes and other human disasters. Candidates will need to rely on their own strategies to manage and solve problems. Your results will be determined by the effectiveness of your strategies."

When the eunuch said this, he looked around and paused, as if he hoped that the many people participating in the imperial examinations would digest it.

Emperor Xiao was also digesting the exam content at this moment, but he never expected that the imperial examination of the Journey to the West Tang Dynasty would be played like this. It was not an exam with questions at all, it was completely about putting practice into practice.

It is really interesting to provide candidates with enough population to manage and test them. It is also interesting to write books and practice strategies.

However, Di Xiao also knew that he was participating in a military examination this time, not an imperial examination.

I just don’t know what the martial arts examination in Journey to the West Tang Dynasty is like.

When Emperor Xiao was puzzled, the eunuch continued, ".ⅡThis time, your majesty has set three questions for all those who participate in the military examination. They are to be a defensive general, a fierce general, and a talented commander."

"Those who take the defense test will be sent to a city with a fixed number of soldiers and food supplies, and will then encounter continuous attacks from the monster tribe. The results will be determined by how long you can defend the city." "Those who take the fierce general test will be sent to a battlefield, and then given a certain number of soldiers, and then charge into battle. The results will be determined by how many enemies you kill."

"Those who take the military talent test will be sent to a large world with many small countries. You will become a general of a country, and then command the army to conquer various small countries. Your performance will be determined by the number of countries you conquer."

Wow, the examination questions for the martial arts examination are also weird.

Or, in other words, in a world with magical powers, exams are also so fancy.

Just give a world with enough population and enemies, and then let yourself go to fight and rule.

This was far from what Di Xiao had imagined. But it was true that ordinary arena competitions could not measure true talents and warriors.

As for the three types of questions in the martial arts examination, Emperor Xiao also fell into deep thought for a while.

Xue Rengui also said: "Di Xiao, which test question are you going to choose?"

Di Xiao smiled bitterly: "No matter which of the three exam questions, I am confident that I can complete them."

The examination questions for both civil and military examinations were announced. There were six types of questions involved, and Di Xiao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Compared with the examination method I imagined, the test questions I heard now were indeed somewhat special.

This extremely pragmatic and real test can definitely identify talents.

What Di Xiao is going to take part in now is the martial arts examination, and facing the three types of examination questions, Di Xiao is full of confidence.

"Whether it's a defense general, a fierce general, or a talented commander, I have the confidence to complete them. However, I have already experienced the test of a fierce general when I participated in the battle to seal Xiang Yu. There is not much point in participating in it again. As for the defense general test, I have also experienced it when I resisted the invasion of the demon tribe and the barbarian tribe."

"So this time, I will choose the test of being a commander. Lead the entire army and conquer many countries."

Di Xiao thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision. Especially thinking about his previous experience, he knew exactly what he needed at the moment.

Although Di Xiao could complete the task more easily by choosing the other two options, he wanted to try some different experiences.

After Xue Rengui heard this, the armor he was wearing vibrated, and he smiled expectantly: "Okay, then go ahead. I'll be watching you here, and I hope you can pass the test."

After saying this, many people who were preparing to take the test were seen following the child prodigy and flying into a mysterious scroll.
