Chapter 1142 Urgent Official Selection

"Where is this place?"

"How did I end up here?"

"Father, there are so many people!"

"It's so hot, isn't it winter? Why is it so warm?"

"Huh? What kind of tree is this? I've never seen one before!"

"Wow~ So much water, is this the legendary sea?"

"Holy cow~~ How can a person be so dark!"

~~

Everyone transferred by the system was stunned to find themselves in an unfamiliar place, with sights they had never seen before.

For instance, plants and animals unique to the Americas, and the distant sea.

What made it even more unbelievable was the appearance of people they had never encountered, some unnaturally pale, others as dark as charcoal!

As time passed, more and more people emerged from the world channel.

In less than half an hour, the beach was already filled with transferred civilians.

Li Xiaogong summoned all the supervisory guards from the mining area. In this situation, the safety of the gold mine was no longer a priority.

"Quiet down, all of you!"

Two helicopters hovered above the crowd, with large speakers hanging below. He sat by the open cabin door, shouting at the people below.

This method proved quite effective, as the unknown always captured people's attention.

There were also civilians from the Song Dynasty's Central Plains who had seen helicopters and knew they belonged to the government, instantly becoming as docile as good children.

"No matter where you come from, from now on, you all answer to me!"

"Now, those who have studied and can write, raise your right hands so I can see you!"

The civilians hadn't fully grasped their current situation when some scholars among them subconsciously raised their right hands as instructed.

"Very good! You are excellent! From now on, you are officials, holding the seventh rank."

"Your official title will be Immigration Supervisor!"

"Do you see that small mountain to the southeast?"

"Now, all Immigration Supervisors step forward and report there to receive your official robes and seals!"

Hearing this command, everyone below cast envious glances at the raised hands of the scholars.

Time had passed too quickly for them to realize they were no longer in the Song Dynasty, nor did they know they could never return to their familiar homeland.

The white and black people, however, were completely bewildered. They couldn't understand what the person in the sky was saying, but in their understanding, only heavenly gods could fly.

The scholars, following Li Xiaogong's instructions, emerged from the crowd and walked together towards the small mountain in the southeast.

Years of hard study, all for the day of imperial examination success.

To be appointed an official without undergoing the imperial examinations was beyond their wildest imaginations.

All the scholars wore expressions of surprise, joy, and confusion.

To the southeast, Li Ji, conscripted into service, watched the approaching crowd with a group of subordinates and looked helplessly at Fang Er beside him.

"Brother Fang, haven't you gone too far this time!"

He already knew the cause and effect of the matter, but still found it hard to believe it was true!

Bringing people from three worlds all to the Great Tang – this was absolutely unprecedented! He couldn't believe it.

If this news reached Chang'an, it would surely knock Fang Xuanling's false teeth out!

Fang Er walked over with a smile: "Hehehehe, Duke of Ying, you're thinking too much."

"You must have gone out to survey the surrounding area quite a bit recently, right?"

"Such a vast area, so much fertile land, it's just sitting idle, why not utilize it?"

"And Australia, that place is waiting to be developed too~"

At this time, the world's population was less than one hundred million, with vast tracts of undeveloped wasteland lying idle.

As long as they could get through the initial period, the migrated civilians would be able to support themselves with their own hands.

At that time, the increase in tax revenue and the emergence of talent would be enough to push the Great Tang to new heights.

"What about their emperors? And will the soldiers cause trouble when they arrive?" Li Ji voiced his concerns.

There could never be too many people, but if there were troublemakers, suppressing them would be troublesome.

Fang Er laughed heartily at this: "Hahahaha, their emperor is now following our Emperor like a shadow."

"Later, we can bestow some noble title upon them, enough to ensure their prosperity for life~"

Li Ji always felt that things were not that simple, but seeing the people in the distance approaching, he temporarily put aside his worries.

As the scholars drew closer, they realized upon arrival that this was no small mountain at all!

It was clearly a pile of clothes, clothes they had never seen before!

These clothes were camouflage uniforms that Fang Er had redeemed from the system.

Countless more civilians would pour into this place, and the five thousand supervisory guards alone would not be enough to maintain order. Therefore, a portion of people had to be selected from the masses.

Once selected, the supervisors, wearing these camouflage uniforms, would be easily distinguishable from the general populace.

As the scholars approached, a soldier from the supervisory guard unfurled a notebook and asked one of them.

"Name, age, where are you from~"

The scholar quickly replied: "Zhou Dong, 35 years old, from Yongning Town, Hejian Prefecture."

After his information was recorded, Zhou Dong was stunned when he saw the camouflage uniform handed to him by the soldier.

What kind of official uniform was this?

According to regulations, seventh-rank official robes were green.

Although this set of official robes was generally green, why were there such intricate patterns on it?

Moreover, the style was vastly different from the official robes he was familiar with.
