Chapter 5: Diligent Emperor

The difference between the luck level from level 1 to level 2 is huge. Level 2 luck can already defeat 90% of ordinary people.

Taking spells as an example, when Zhao Xing casts [Xingyun], out of a hundred times, there may be only two or three times when the blessing of luck is triggered, which increases the effect of the spell by 20% to 30%; this effect is named "small spell success" by the players.

The 'double effect' may be triggered once in a thousand times, which is what players call 'spell success'!
However, if it is the second level of luck, then after casting the spell 10 times, it is possible to trigger two or three "minor success" effects, and after casting the spell 100 times, it is possible to trigger a "major success" effect.

This is just the benefit of "casting spells". There are also benefits such as picking up treasures when going out, meeting hidden masters when becoming a disciple, and never going empty-handed when fishing...

Especially in the 'Dynasty of Fortune' version, this effect is more obvious.

"But why is this happening? I remember clearly that Dao Embryo Pills don't have this effect at all... huh?"

Zhao Xing suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility.

"The Great Dream Academy at this time is different from the 'Yunmeng Academy' later. The former has rich treasures, while the latter is more of a tool."

"Could it be that by entering the Great Dream Academy, I have indirectly gained some of the luck of the ancient dynasty 'Da Li'?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Zhao Xing then began to recall the relevant plots of this ancient dynasty and judge whether this result was good or bad.

The final answer is that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"The Li Dynasty was a long time ago, and during a certain period of the princes' rebellion, there was a force called the remnants of the Li Dynasty, which acted under the banner of the Li Dynasty, but in the end, it did not cause any disturbance, let alone in this era."

"The growth of luck is invisible and formless, leaving no trace. From one to two, it won't attract any attention at all."

"If I can continue to grow stronger, there is no need to rush. By then, I will have entered the Great Zhou system. If an official expert notices me in the future, I will hand over the method of entering the Great Dream Academy to the country and make a one-time deal."

Zhao Xing remembered that the man who discovered the method to open the Great Dream Academy was not given any "special treatment". On the contrary, after he presented the method to Emperor Wu, he was granted the title of Marquis Xian and a county.

Therefore, whether the growth of luck can be discovered or not is just a matter of how much profit can be made, not a matter of safety.

“However, you still have to enter the system as soon as possible.”

After figuring everything out, Zhao Xing felt relieved.

"Cuckoo~"

At this time, the sound of roosters crowing came from outside, so he washed up quickly and hurried out.

There are currently more than 500 people in the Sinong Supervisor of Gucheng.

However, the number of places allocated to Gucheng by Nanyang County is only three or five each year.

Most of the petty officials in the Ministry of Agriculture who have no talent and no background can only endure the hardship and wait for those outstanding competitors to be promoted.

The Sinongjian is still good, and the upward channels in the military, engineering, law, literature, and etiquette systems are more competitive.

To put it simply, it is easier to change careers to Si Nong than to other professions such as warrior, mechanic, and doctor.

There are many "experts" in the Sinongjian this year, such as Li Chengfeng and Wen Nanxing, who are close to the third level of Juyuan.

Not only does he know basic spells like [Moving Clouds], [Rain], [Thunder], and [Wind], but he has also started learning advanced spells.

Such as "Good Weather and Good Harvest" and "Call the Wind and Call the Rain".

He could even enter the temple to comprehend advanced secret books such as "The Order of Solar Terms" and "The Chart of the Growth of All Things", and then he could practice magic with lethal power. Whether it was "merit" or "skill", he was superior to other petty officials.

If Zhao Xing wants to surpass these competitors, he must speed up.

"Now that I have reached the second stage of Ju Yuan, my energy is enough to support the casting of more spells. It's time to learn new spells."

Gucheng Sinongjian is located in the east of the city, but Zhao Xing is now heading north because if he wants to learn magic, he first needs to go to the county government for approval, get permission, record it, and then go to the temple to seek magic.

After obtaining the spell, one must go back to the county government office to re-record it, because in the process of seeking spells in the temple, there may be random spells that exceed the quantity.

After finishing, they would return to Sinongjian to seek guidance and practice. The official officials of Sinongjian were both superiors and teachers to these petty officials.

As for whether they are willing to teach and how much effort they put into teaching, it depends on whether you have found the right person.

Zhao Xing entered the county government office and began to go through the formalities, and was warmly treated by the clerk on duty.

"My name is Pang Fei. I have some herbal tea prepared inside. Brother Zhao, please go into the side hall and take a rest."

Looking at this young, enthusiastic face, Zhao Xing was a little surprised: "Brother Pang, you are too polite. I wonder how long it will take for this document to be approved?"

He came here to do business, not to drink tea.

"It will take no more than an hour to stamp the document, and half an hour at the fastest."

How could it be so fast? How come the efficiency of the county government is so high?

He thought Pang Fei was an exception, but he never expected that when he was drinking tea in the side hall, the clerks he met were all the same!

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Xing finally realized.

This story has to start with Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing was an ambitious man. He named the reign title "Jingxin" in order to create a new atmosphere and surpass the reputation of his ancestors.

His father Emperor Wen "loved the people like his own children, was respectful, humble, benevolent and kind", but he himself had a hot temper and could not do this. If he wanted to surpass his father, he could only work hard in other areas.

So the emperor began to take the lead in internal circulation.

The "Great Zhou Order" stipulates that small matters take five days of work, medium matters take seven days of work, and major matters take ten days of work.

Under his request, all county-level institutions must sign documents and handle government affairs on a daily basis without delay.

Following the example of the superiors, a trend of internal circulation swept across the 19 states.

Emperor Jing also got a nickname from players: "The Diligent Emperor"

Why is the government so efficient? The emperor is leading the way, how dare you slack off? The temple in the city was not built for nothing. It can be used to monitor the dirty and illegal things in the city, and to investigate the officials' laziness and bad governance!
Why is Pang Yun so nice? Because he is also a minor official, and like me, he also wants to be promoted! If I don't involve my colleagues, when will I be able to get a job?
"Establish temples to monitor all officials, spread various teachings to enlighten the people. This period is really safe. It is not like the chaos later, when even farming could not be done in peace..." As a Sinong player, Zhao Xing is very satisfied with the current environment. It is simply a perfect period for development!
As soon as a cup of tea was finished, an enthusiastic clerk came over to add water.

This happened three times, and then Pang Fei came jogging over with an official document in his arms.

"Brother Zhao, your application has been approved. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Thank you." Looking at the beads of sweat oozing out of Pang Fei's forehead, Zhao Xing expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
