Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 109

Unlike the Yulin Examination, which was open to the whole world, the Shenjing Martial Arts Examination was the most important and fair channel for the Tang Dynasty to select martial talents, and its participants could only be Tang people.

After careful research and judgment, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocated different quotas for each state, and required each state to determine these quotas in the end.

That is to say, everyone who finally participated in the martial arts competition must have a document from the state that clearly states which martial arts competition he participated in and where he won, what year, month, and day.

In addition to this, the two departments also set up a "previous competition" in Shenjing, leaving a full [-] places to feast the world.

Maybe the number of talents in your state has not changed this year, maybe you have encountered an unimaginable accident, maybe you have suffered injustice that is hard to appeal... But no matter what the reason is, as long as you are from Tang Dynasty, as long as you come to Shenjing, you You can get on the stage.

There are no other factors here, only your fists determine your fate, as long as you are indeed among the top [-] people, the quota will naturally belong to you.

The methods of selecting talents vary from state to state, and Bowang State adopts the most common one.

First of all, a part of the places to participate in the martial arts contest is allocated to the subordinate counties, and the county government selects the talents of the county. If the applicants can get the rankings, the county magistrate will have political achievements, and the county will also get the favor of martial arts resources.

Secondly, a part of the quota is allocated to the domestic sects, and a fixed number of quotas are determined by them or the internal ratio of the sect, or the joint ratio of multiple sects.

Thirdly, three or five quotas will be given to large merchants in the territory, and they will be allowed to choose a warrior to participate in the selection, and the name of the merchant can be written on the clothes.The condition is to bear part of the cost of holding the martial arts competition and help the state government to promote the martial arts competition.

Finally, like Shenjing, set up a "big comparison" in the state city. No matter what reason you failed to be elected through the above three ways, and no matter where your hometown is, as long as you meet the basic conditions for martial arts, you can be elected in this contest. Compete for the final spot in the field competition based on your ability.

This move not only gives a chance to talents buried due to injustice or misfortune, but also gives a chance to outsiders-in case any young Fubang master happens to be unable to make it back to his hometown to compete in Bowang Prefecture, when he arrives in Shenjing, he will have a chance. Has it become the face of our Bowang Prefecture?
This is a happy and beautiful expectation of Governor Zhao.

In short, Bowang Prefecture selected a fixed number of warriors through these four channels, and then gathered these warriors in the state city and divided them into one, two and three.

This was not a competition behind closed doors at the yamen, but a grand event held on the largest square in the center of the city in front of countless people.

In the atmosphere of strong martial arts all over the world, the martial arts festival is undoubtedly the most popular event, which is appreciated by both refined and popular tastes. You can imagine that a small county like Lianfenghuai holds the Mid-Autumn Festival martial arts festival every year and it is quite popular.

Therefore, Bowangzhou's "Three Competitions" are not just to complete the tasks assigned by the court. Bowangzhou itself also wants to make these three competitions as exciting and famous as possible.

Therefore, in addition to the highest reward of "Shenjing Martial Arts Qualification", Bowangzhou itself will also provide - or take out from the hands of merchants - sufficient rewards to the top eight.

This is the reason why many people still come to participate in the martial arts competition even though they know they have no chance of winning the championship and they have no interest in being famous on stage.

"The Golden Autumn Martial Arts Tournament you are going to participate in is the first of such a grand event." Master Huang took a sip of his wine and continued, "The characteristics of this event over the years are: the intensity before the first four is obviously lower than the last two , but starting from four to two, the intensity is the peak of the 'three competitions'. If the second player in this game is not injured, he can often get a place in the winter and spring competitions."

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, but when she thought about it, she suddenly understood.

In the first round, none of the strong players got a place to withdraw from the competition, so it was naturally the most intense one.

But because of this, many people in the second echelon have no hope of winning the championship, and are unwilling to use their full strength in this game, so as not to expose their weaknesses or get injured.Some want to make more efforts in the second game, while others want to see if they can catch a leak in the third game.

Only when they reached the semi-finals and the opportunity to win the championship was in sight, did the four heroes start to fight without reservation.

Pei Ye didn't have this idea, he must go all out, even if he can't win the championship, he can still measure his position.

If it doesn't work this time, I will go to Shenjing again to compete for the [-] places.

"Who is fighting Wu Bidu?" Pei Ye pressed Liuli with one hand and peeled the peanuts with the other.

The Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition is a grand event covering the whole state, but it is not about selecting the best player in the state.What is the level of the opponent? This is the most important question, and it is also the question that Pei Ye is most concerned about.

"Who do you think it is?"

"great people."

"Hahaha, someone who wants to get ahead."

"Well... yes."

He is someone who wants to get ahead.

If you want to know the strength of the Jinqiu martial arts competition, you can actually infer a rough idea from the nature of the Shenjing martial arts.

First, its lower limit is extremely low.

Because although it is one of the most important events for warriors in the world, it is only a competition to select warriors after all.

Since it is a "selection", it means that most of the contestants are not considered "martial talents", at least not yet recognized.

If those geniuses from the Immortal Sect Holy Land really wanted to be officials, the Immortal Platform and the Ministry of War would have already reserved enough positions for them.

Famous families will also have their own channels.

Only those who have no way out, or who are dissatisfied with the existing channels, will come to participate in the martial arts competition.

Therefore, the Shenjing martial arts is actually a grand event that is very close to the rivers and lakes and the common people.It is an opportunity for white bodies to compete for birth, not an arena for top talents.

People like Jing Ziwang who have no background and don't know how to drill can reach the sixth rank in the local area in their eighth life, and immediately rose to the fifth rank when they first entered the grand master.

Lin Lin became a county lieutenant in his fifth life.

It is natural to imagine the strength of the person who is still seeking an official through the martial arts competition.

As long as you are an innocent Tang person who can fight with both hands, you can join in the fun—even if you can't make it to the state capital, at least you can participate in the county election.

And if this county is really too weak, then the tallest among the shortest may be able to participate in the state-city martial arts competition in a lifetime.

But on the other hand, its upper limit is extremely high.

Because Datang is really generous enough for the talents selected in this country's grand event.

As long as he enters the top [-], his potential for future development is not comparable to that of a county captain in a small remote county.

If he can enter the top three, he will be a rising military star in the coming year.

And if you can win the title of "Martial Arts of the Tang Dynasty" and win the title of "Martial Arts of the Tang Dynasty", you will be among the thousands of ceremonial officials, wear gorgeous clothes and swords in the Tai Chi Hall, be looked down upon by saints, and be tied by princesses, and you will naturally become the darling of the political world in the future. The future champion of the three armed forces.

Therefore, there is no shortage of Fu Bang participants in all previous Shenjing martial arts competitions.
