The Heavens: Civilization Cultivator

The State Examination came as scheduled, and the entire Jiangzhou City became lively because of it.

Lei Ting, Lei Cang, Liu Xian, and a group of disciples from the Ji Lei Martial Arts Hall walked towards the place where the state test was held - the square in front of the prefect's mansion in Jiangzhou City.

Unlike the liberal arts and imperial examinations, the selection of martial arts is open to the outside world.

After all, martial arts is based on personal strength, and there is no way to cheat like liberal arts imperial examinations.

Opening up to the outside world, on the one hand, some tickets can be collected to subsidize local finances-this was formulated by the first generation of kings.

On the other hand, it can enhance the people's yearning for martial arts.

You can see everywhere on the streets along the way, state capital police officers and soldiers wearing armor to maintain law and order.

The martial arts in the Wu Dynasty were strong. If there were no court soldiers to maintain order, the people watching the battle would easily break out of fighting because of a little conflict.

Afterwards the fighting threatened to cause even greater commotion, throwing the entire city into chaos.

Therefore, every time the military science is opened, the police and soldiers from all over the country will come to guard and maintain law and order.

What's more, in today's Wu Dynasty, the dark tide is surging, and I don't know how many rebels are lurking, thinking of using martial arts to disrupt the situation in the world.

Officials from all over the country did not dare to slack off at all, lest there would be rebellion in the places they governed.

Lei Cang walked all the way, looking at the bustling street scene along the way, saw countless peddlers shouting enthusiastically, and saw majestic people in the rivers and lakes holding swords.

On an inland river that passes through Jiangzhou City, exquisite luxury boats and boats are running rampant, and the noble children and female relatives on them can be vaguely seen, pointing at the common people on the bank.

The end is a Wu Dynasty version of the Qingming Riverside Picture!

But under this bustling picture of the city, Lei Cang saw a crisis that ordinary people can't perceive.

Every time he passed the streets and alleys, Lei Cang's amazing eyesight could see the beggars with yellow and emaciated skin and ragged clothes hidden in the depths of the alleys.

These beggars hid in the corner, looking numb at the lively scene outside.

The smell of food on the street made them salivate constantly.

It's a pity that they dare not go to the street to beg.

Because it is now the state examination period, martial arts people and local gentry from all over the country come to Jiangzhou City.

The gentlemen of Jiangzhou City naturally couldn't tolerate beggars like them affecting the city's appearance.

So these beggars can only hide in the dark alleys and dare not enter the street to beg.

For fear of being caught and beaten to death by patrolling policemen and soldiers.

Lei Cang silently looked at the contrasting scenery, and couldn't help thinking of a poem by Zu Xing.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!"

The Wu Dynasty in this era is so similar to the description in the poem! !

"The end of the Wu Dynasty is coming soon." Lei Cang sighed in his heart.

Although Lei Cang is a martial idiot, he is not a naive martial artist who doesn't leave his home and doesn't know anything about Jianghu and the country.

In recent years, in order to hone his own martial arts and find opportunities for breakthroughs.

Lei Cang once traveled in Jiangzhou.

He has seen with his own eyes how hard and impoverished the life of the people in the Wu Dynasty was. He has seen many people sell their sons and daughters in order to survive, and were forced by the nobles and gentry to ruin their families.

All of this shows that the Wu Dynasty is approaching the end of the feudal dynasty.

Just waiting for the day when the accumulated contradictions break out, the world will usher in a turmoil.

The first king of the Wu Dynasty, 'Gu Teng', as a student of history and archeology, is naturally very clear about the history of the dynasties and dynasties of the Xia Kingdom, and understands the reasons for their demise.

Therefore, when the Wu Dynasty was established, he summed up the advantages and disadvantages of each dynasty, and formulated many policies, such as abolishing slavery, promoting the distribution of the land into the mu, etc., in order to maintain the long-term rule of the Wu Dynasty.

It's a pity that no matter how Gu Teng formulates policies, it can't change the fact that the Wu Dynasty is a feudal dynasty.

After all, the productivity of the Wu Dynasty is there.

Gu Teng led a group of traversers to experiment for more than a hundred years, but failed to invent steam engines, electricity and other energy sources that can greatly increase productivity.

At most, water conservancy projects were established along the major rivers in the Wu Dynasty to facilitate agricultural irrigation, improve agricultural farming methods and tools, and cultivate high-yielding crops, etc., to increase agricultural productivity.

Gu Teng has been in power for more than 100 years as a king, and this move is indeed very good.

The productivity was greatly improved, so that the Wu Dynasty had enough food to support a large population, and indirectly promoted the abolition of slavery.

But he underestimated the population growth rate of the Wu Dynasty.

More than three hundred years after Gu Teng's death, the population of the Wu Dynasty continued to increase.

In addition to the land of the four states captured by the Wu Dynasty later, the population is also quite large.

Today, the population of the Wu Dynasty has increased ten to twenty times compared to when the Dynasty was founded!

The various measures left by Gu Teng and the increased productivity can no longer meet the needs of all Wu Dynasty people.

In addition, nobles, gentry, and warriors rely on money, power, and strength to continuously annex land and collect the people's fat and anointing.

The Wu Dynasty at this time had already reached the end of the feudal dynasty.

'The world must be united for a long time, and the world must be united for a long time'!

Knowing this well, Lei Cang could already foresee that the Wu Dynasty, the largest dynasty in the Tianyuan Continent, would soon usher in the first dynasty change.

It's just that the Wu Dynasty will be overthrown by other heroes and a new dynasty will be established.

Still like the Han Dynasty in Zu Xing, the dynasty was wiped out with the help of war, and the dynasty was ushered in a new life.

That was not what Lei Cang could have foreseen.

"Forget it, now I'm just a commoner, a blood coagulation realm warrior."

"What will happen to the Wu Dynasty? I should worry about it now."

Lei Cang shook his head and put these distracting thoughts behind him: "The thing I want to think about now is to pass the martial arts selection."

Although the Wu Dynasty showed signs of ruining the dynasty and the country, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The heritage accumulated by the Wu Dynasty for hundreds of years is still very rich.

So Lei Cangming knew that the situation in the Wu Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, but he still chose to participate in the martial arts.

The purpose is to gain benefits from the Wu Dynasty.

You must know that the number one scholar in martial arts, in addition to being able to be appointed as an official, will also get some substantial benefits.

For example, you can enter the imperial scripture library to obtain any five-rank martial arts, as well as one hundred 'primordial stones' and so on.

In the future, if Lei Cang cultivates to the peak of the fourth heaven, he can also obtain the cultivation method from the royal family to break through to the fifth and sixth heavens.

Generally speaking, before the Wu Dynasty perishes, there are still many benefits to joining it.

As for the future, if the Wu Dynasty is full of flames and people rebel.

Whether Lei Cang protects or opposes depends on his status at the time.

Closer to home.

After passing through the crowds all the way, Lei Cang and others finally arrived at the square in front of the prefect's mansion.

At this time, ten arenas have been set up on the square for the selection of martial arts.

Lei Cang separated from his parents and all his seniors, and entered through the competition passage beside him, waiting for the start of the state examination.

Lei Ting and the others walked towards the front row in a corner of the auditorium.

How can I say that Lei Ting is the fourth heaven warrior, and he is also a respectable person in Jiangzhou City.

Not to mention that he now has a son who is the first genius in Jiangzhou City, it is easy to get some front row seats.
