Chapter 749: The Imperial System Is Indeed Worth Learning
Lu Yao decided to retreat.
At present, the Great Qin Empire is full of hidden talents. Strong men like Bai Qi are emerging, and it is also the battlefield of a secret war between Utopia and Rome. The main forces of the committee and other gods are waiting for an opportunity to move... Xianyang City has become the focus of all parties.
The basic rule for watching an incident is not to get too close to the center of it, otherwise you will be drawn into it.
I got two psychic valves on this trip, and also had an unexpected gain from "knowing yourself and knowing your enemy", so it's time to quit while you're ahead.
If you continue to be so high-profile, it will be impolite.
Lu Yao found Song Shiyi and told her that he had something to do at home.
Prosecutor Song did not try to persuade him to stay. She just said, "Mr. Huang, I just want to discuss something with you and ask for your opinion."
"It's like this. Minister Fu and Teacher Zao reached a consensus after discussion and decided to jointly apply to the headquarters for the 'Wolong Talent Plan' on your behalf. This is the highest standard for talent introduction by the committee, but it requires approval from multiple levels because the committee has to invest a lot of resources in each 'Wolong'."
"But with the abilities you have demonstrated here, as well as your strong influence on the outside world such as Wuyou Township, plus the recommendations of the two teachers, it should be a sure thing."
"It depends on whether you are willing or not."
Song Shiyi said enthusiastically: "As you know, our salary management method has always been based on the document standards of 2003. Both reimbursement and funding applications require a long process. However, the Wolong Talent Program has a special green channel. After that, you can reimburse many projects, the database permissions will be greatly improved, and you will get a special ID account."
"The Wolong Talent Program is a preferential treatment for high-level talents with special abilities. It does not require enrollment. It is more like a qualification certification and a special allowance."
"Every member of the program can apply for the 'National Special Scientific Research Fund,' also known as the Special Research Fund. They can choose their own topics and will basically be approved. The funding amount is 4 million RMB. In addition, the committee members will also be reimbursed 4 million RMB of faith power every year."
The conditions offered by the committee are very favorable - at least compared to the previous 3,000 yuan subsidy method, this time it is indeed full of sincerity.
Lu Yao also knew that the committee was not short of money, but the internal procedures were complicated. This was also a common feature of every giant group, where procedures were more important than results.
But old people have old ways, new people have new ways, and there are exceptions to everything.
As long as some special policies are implemented, all these tedious and lengthy processes will disappear and will be handled through exclusive channels.
Lu Yao remained alert: "What do I need to pay?"
"Please rest assured about this."
Song Shiyi explained to him: "The Wolong Talent Plan is very lenient. The committee has given the maximum green light. According to the document requirements, as long as you do not cooperate with our enemies, you only need to submit an annual report at the end of each year. However, in actual operation, these reports and the like will be handled by us."
"To be frank, the plan is to recruit high-end, productive and influential talents, and at the very least, prevent these elites from turning to potential enemies."
Lu Yao thought to himself, it turns out that everyone treats people differently based on their social status.
This is how the committee truly treats senior talents, giving them money and resources in order to win them over.
He thought about it.
The cooperation with the committee was quite pleasant, especially the committee database was very useful. Song Shiyi was responsible for handling these official matters, and I was mainly expressing my attitude and firmly standing on the side of the Heavenly Court.
He then asked: "Who are the enemies of the committee?"
Song Shiyi said: "Not at the moment. In fact, the committee has always been very cautious in its external attitude."
Lu Yao nodded: "Then I will still contact you after that."
"Ah? Sure, sure."
Song Shiyi looked relieved.
After finishing this matter, Lu Yao found the Kitchen God again.
This time, in addition to purchasing psychic valves, we also need to gather intelligence on the bordering area.
Ding Hanzhen was sitting on a chair drinking tea and reading a book. After hearing Lu Yao's question, he said, "The border zone can be regarded as the high seas that no party can control. The living environment of the gods there is very cruel."
"The root cause is that the border zone is the closest to the over-limit zone. It is constantly affected by the over-limit zone and is in a state of high-speed movement. The rules of the entire area are constantly changing. A certain area may be stable at the last moment, but it may become the eye of the storm with concentrated turbulence the next moment."
"There are a large number of virtual universe creatures, or void creatures, in the border zone. Because the movement of the entire space is very fast, the speed of natural elimination and evolution there is also far faster than that of the leap zone. For a long time, the strong have always been strong. If the weak cannot find a way to survive, they will tend to become extinct."
The old man blew away the hot air in the teacup and said, "Because the authority of the godhood is blocked, even a powerful main god is just prey in the eyes of void creatures over there."
Lu Yao asked, "Teacher Zao, is there no civilization of void creatures over there? It has always been in a state of chaos everywhere?"
"I have."
Ding Hanzhen smiled, wrinkling his eyes. "Xiao Huang, in your opinion, what kind of civilization can survive in such a high-intensity ecological space as the border zone, and build a safe order to restrain and check other races?"
Lu Yao thought for a moment: "First, we must be strong enough to transform and stabilize the regional space and provide a safe regional environment. Then we must be able to assimilate powerful races and gain the support of a large number of lower-class ethnic groups..."
After thinking about it, he only came up with one name.
Eldar.
The Kitchen God chuckled: "You figured it out? Yes, it's us, humans."
Huh? Lu Yao was puzzled: "Aren't they the spirit race?"
"Well, their situations are different." Ding Hanzhen was stunned: "They are indeed very strong... Let's not talk about it here for now."
He said: "We humans are a very broad concept. Just like the Eldar, the Eldar include dragons, giants, spirit people, star masters... We humans are also divided into different branch civilizations. Apart from Earth, humans were also born in other places, and their physiological structure characteristics are basically the same."
"Human beings are an intelligent race that is spread all over the virtual and real universes. There is no doubt that the savages, islanders, and primitive people you see in those virtual worlds all come from the same source as us."
"We are not as naturally great as dragons, nor as gifted as giants. We do not have the efficiency and absolute rationality of spiritual people, nor do we have the innate divine power of star masters..."
"What are humans like? Like dandelions, floating in the virtual and real universe. But as long as a group of humans rises up, different humans will always meet again."
"A long time ago, people discovered the footprints of ancient humans in the border zone. Their history was long before the emergence of Australopithecus. They left behind writings, symbols, and monuments."
"After a lot of comparative analysis, researchers found that the ancient humans in the Void Universe were constantly attacking the Trans-Limited Zone, using the Bordering World as logistics and springboards. Judging from the results of the relics, they did not succeed until the extinction of the entire race."
Ding Hanzhen had a faint smile on his face: "Humans are born with a tendency to self-destruct. A scholar said that this is also because we dare to look death in the face, and even rush towards death for some more important reasons. This may not be wise, but it is also the preciousness and uniqueness of human beings."
"So as long as they recognize humanity and are not against humanity, they are our friends and partners to be won over. This is also the core purpose of the committee."
Lu Yao was confused when he heard this.
The ancient humans in the Xu Universe, that is, the ancestors of the people on Earth, were very powerful.
And the Star Lord is actually one of the elves?
The Dark Star Lord never mentioned this at all.
The Kitchen God seemed to realize that he had gone too far, so he continued, "We call the ancient humans of the Void Universe "Monument People". The Monument People left behind civilization ruins in the border zone. Both the settlements and the transformed areas have monument-like buildings. But strangely, no traces or monuments of the Monument People were found in the Leap Zone and the Crawling Zone."
"The closer we get to the Beyond Limit Zone, the better preserved the remains of the Monument People are. Unfortunately, most of the worlds left behind are occupied by powerful void creatures. Finding the cities left behind by the Monument People is also a common goal of all of us myths."
"Since you asked about the border zone. If one day you find traces of the Monument People, please let us know. Any information about these ancestors of the Void Universe is crucial to our search for the origin of mankind."
Lu Yao nodded and said yes.
The origin of mankind is a question that everyone has thought about to some extent.
Finding the person who paved the way for the monument is a common public welfare cause for all mankind.
"Unfortunately, the specific history of the Monument People is difficult to trace. They kept attacking the over-limit zone, and all that was left behind were fragments of information. The history has been forgotten and erased."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The old man looked at Lu Yao and said, "If you want to cultivate the border zone deeply, in addition to various powerful void creatures, you must also be careful of winged people and demons."
"Winged people and demons are not sealed and weak in the border zone. There, they are in their perfect state. Once encountering winged people and demons, any god will be in great danger. I hope you don't set foot there in person. Just follow the conventional method and send apostles to build and manage the local civilization."
Ding Hanzhen's face looked serious.
Lu Yao also said "yes" seriously.
But he was grinning in his heart.
The seal is lifted!
The complete form of the winged man and the devil.
Isn't that Xing Tian's home ground? It would be cruel for anyone to meet Xing Tian there!
…
Zhao Zhenzhu came in a hurry, as if she had something important to do. But when she saw Lu Yao chatting with the Kitchen God, she still waited on the side.
Isabel went over to ask, and came back saying, "Captain Zhao was ordered to come here, saying there is something very important."
"Go ahead." Ding Hanzhen waved his hand: "This is all I can tell you. The rest is up to you. There is no definitive conclusion."
"Thank you, Mr. Zao."
Lu Yao said this and walked over to Zhao Zhenzhu.
"Mr. Huang, His Majesty's book."
Ah? The Emperor of Qin?
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment.
But it seems that Daqin does not need to kneel now.
Zhao Zhenzhu simply opened a scroll of bamboo slips tied with a red string and said in a very formal and solemn tone: "The Emperor of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven has decreed: I rule the world with culture and suppress rebellion with force..."
"…I hereby grant you the title of 'Dragon Qianjun', a salary of one million, a summer palace, a Daqin talisman, and a pair of gifts. This will be on September 30th, the 26th year of the Restoration."
Although the book was written in a mixed style, Lu Yao could still understand it.
The emperor of the Qin Empire conferred a title on himself, called Long Qianjun, with an annual salary of 1 million, and also gave him a house in the summer palace, a talisman and a pair of gifts.
Zhao Zhenzhu smiled and said, "From now on, you should call me Lord Long Qianjun."
Before Lu Yao could say anything, the other party continued, "Please rest assured, Lord Long Qianjun, the guest god position does not restrict one from serving as an official in the court. It is a very high honor and a high-level god position certificate. Please listen to me one by one."
"First of all, this talisman."
Zhao Zhenzhu handed Lu Yao a bronze tiger talisman with the words "Great Qin Long Qianjun" engraved on it.
"The Fuchuan is a certificate and permission granted by the Great Qin Empire. The holder of the Fuchuan can travel to and from Great Qin, and can also communicate with the famous people of Great Qin across the border. With the Fuchuan, you can enter your house in the Summer Palace at any time, and you can also use the Fuchuan to remotely participate in many transactions in Great Qin. Many important and precious treasures will also be auctioned internally first, and then announced to the public."
"Then there is this pair of gifts."
The gift is two [Psychic Encapsulators] sealed in a packaging card.
Lu Yao thought to himself that his boss was very generous!
Even in the economic crisis, the gifts are still so generous. This is the legendary imperial heritage!
There are indeed things worth learning from the imperial system.
Lu Yao accepted the two [Psychic Encapsulators] and the tiger talisman [Daqin Talisman], and didn't care about other people watching.
Zhao Zhenzhu added: "The salary is calculated based on the power of faith, and will be allocated regularly to Fuchuan, and finally to the mansion of the Xia Palace..."
Lu Yao also politely said thank you, Your Majesty.
Now I have to go home and sort things out, and most importantly, deal with the military talisman.
"The mountains are high and the waters are long, we will see you later, take care everyone."
Lu Yao followed the local tradition and bowed to Zhao Zhenzhu and others.
Then he and Isabel disappeared in an instant.
…
Watching Zhao Zhenzhu leave, Kitchen God Ding Hanzhen frowned slightly: "This time, the Great Qin has made a lot of efforts. It seems that Xiao Huang's performance in Shi Boqing has been recognized and recommended by Wu Anjun... But it is still too rare to be directly conferred a title without any contribution..."
Minister Fu beside him also laughed: "Young people nowadays are so talented, we have to admit that we are old. Nothing is impossible."
"Yes, have some tea."
I wish all readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
