In Chang 'an City of the Tang Empire, inside the Imperial Palace, outside the Hall of Public Announcement.
The spacious square was bustling with people. Most of them were young elites.
There were soldiers in armor, civil servants in official robes, warriors with swords, and scholars in green robes. All of them were outstanding.
This group of people were the people who had been recruited by Li Shimin in Chang 'an City in just two days.
"Sir, this is the register. Everyone's information is recorded.”
On the steps, Wei Zheng respectfully handed Jiang Xuan a thick register.
Jiang Xuan took it and flipped through it. He saw many familiar names. They were all famous poets from the early Tang Dynasty and generals who founded the country.
Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Luo Binwang, Lu Zhaolin.
"Hmm? Li Bai? Li Taibai?" Jiang Xuan suddenly discovered a famous figure. According to the information recorded in the register, this person was definitely the later generation's immortal poet, Li Bai.
He frowned. Logically speaking, Li Bai was not from this era.
However, he did not think too much about it. This was the world of the West, and anything could happen. Perhaps the history books of his previous life were wrong.
"Where is Li Bai?" Jiang Xuan immediately shouted.
"Li Bai is here!" A young man in white walked out of the formation. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was elegant and handsome. He puffed out his chest and raised his head. There was an unruly smile on the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He was indeed a bit unrestrained. He was still calm in front of Li Shiming and so many important officials.
Suddenly, Jiang Xuan realized that this person looked familiar as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Thinking back, he remembered that Li Bai was present when he was telling the story of the ending of the Investiture of the Gods at Tongfu Inn.
He was the first one to point out that Daji entering the palace was arranged by the heavens to bewitch King Zhou, which led to the destruction of the Shang Dynasty.
" I remember you." Jiang Xuan said," You've heard my stories before."”
Li Bai immediately revealed a look of reverence and excitement.""Taibai has gained a lot of insights from listening to the emperor teacher's storytelling!”
Jiang Xuan nodded slowly and swept his gaze across the many scholarly scholars in the queue. He already had a plan in mind.
There were a total of 1,000 people here. Jiang Xuan was not stingy either. He immediately took 10 million merit points from the system and transformed them into 1,000 strands of Connate Spirit Qi.
After setting the target of enlightenment, he opened his arms, and a thousand white lights flew out of his body. They were clear and misty, flying into the bodies of these thousand people one by one.
In an instant, the expressions of these 1,000 people were all shocked, and then they were overjoyed.
Some generals and warriors leaped up high, reaching a height of 100 feet. The sky was filled with people cheering and jumping for joy. This was because the spiritual qi had transformed their bodies, making them stronger, faster, and more advantageous.
There were also scholars who opened their folding fans and recited poems. They discussed with each other and were quick-witted. They were more and more surprised. This was also because the spiritual qi nourished their minds and gave them wisdom.
"Today, the great roc really rose with the wind and soared 90,000 miles. Thank you for enlightening me, Mister!”Li Bai shouted.
"Thank you for your enlightenment, Mister."
50,000 merit points from Li Bai
Received 30,000 merit points from Luo Binwang.
20,000 merit points from Cheng Yaojin
……
There were too many system notifications, so much so that Jiang Xuan had no choice but to temporarily turn off the notification sound and directly display the results.
He spent 10 million and returned 15 million.
Jiang Xuan was rather satisfied with this deal. It was profitable, which meant that these 1,000 people would definitely have a bright future.
Following that, Jiang Xuan took out the Emperor Calling Scripture and another 1,000 streams of light flew out of his body into the 1,000 bodies.
One million merit points from Li Bai
500,000 merit points from Luo Binwang
350,000 merit points from Cheng Yaojin
……
After a round, Jiang Xuan had obtained nearly 30 million merit points. He already had 105 million merit points in the system.
Small goal, achieved.
"Thank you for your teachings, Mister!" Li Bai led the way and shouted again. The others followed closely behind, and their voices of thanks resounded throughout the entire palace.
"Everyone, you are already cultivators and will become elites of the Great Tang in the future. You must assist His Majesty and raise the prestige of the Great Tang.”
"Raise the prestige of the Great Tang!" The group of people shouted in unison.
"Sir, why don't you tell them about the plan to revitalize the human race?”Li Shi Min whispered.
Jiang Xuan said," Your Majesty, they are not important ministers of the country. Their words carry little weight. They are just generals in the army. As long as they know that the one who changed them is the Great Tang, and that the Great Tang is the country they need to protect for their entire lives, it will be fine. Your Majesty and the other ministers are the true leaders, the commanders of the army. The decision to revitalize the human race and resist the gods and Buddhas is something you people need to care about.”
"I understand." Li Shi Min nodded.
Jiang Xuan then instructed," Your Majesty, in the future, recruit a group of outstanding talents from the Great Tang every five days. I will bestow them with innate spiritual energy and set a threshold for Lord Wei to set a few examination questions. Only those who pass can be considered ambitious.”
"Alright, I understand."
Jiang Xuan had his reasons for doing so. It was to prevent people from making up the numbers and the gains would not make up for the losses.
For example, the 1,000 people in front of him were recruited in a hurry. Only two-thirds of them could actually earn merit points.
The remaining one-third was a loss.
There were even dozens of people who received the Emperor Calling Scripture, but the reward was only a few hundred merit points.
With few merit points, it meant that these people were useless and were just armchair strategists.
Therefore, it was impossible to earn merit points by educating the people of the Great Tang.
This was because the vast majority of the people were ordinary people. They did not even know a few words. They were ignorant and were not talented.
Only people like Li Bai and Luo Binwang were truly outstanding talents.
What Jiang Xuan needed to do was to first let this group of people start cultivating and bring along the luck of the human race. Only then could he slowly spread cultivation to the ordinary people.
……
The early bird catches the worm. The author woke up so early to update everyone. Would there be flowers and tickets to reward him?^_^
