Chapter 018: The Big Exam (Part II)

But on second thought, this question makes a lot of sense. There have been many madmen and magicians in history who have tried to "turn stones into gold", and the progress of mankind is not driven by these successive madmen? And this question is the 20 points with the highest score, and if it is done well, it is also a watershed.

However, this question involves advanced magical knowledge, and Zhang Jiabao's knowledge is limited, and he is destined to be unable to answer it from a professional point of view. If he didn't recruit anything, he didn't know how many candidates would be dead all over the field on this question.

No, if you write a word, you will have the hope of scoring points, and if you don't write a word, you will definitely get zero points. Zhang Jiabao thought for a long time and wrote down the answer: "Hey, Brother Mixiu, if you can turn stones into gold in the future, the world will rush to worship you as a teacher." Over time, a magician can conjure gold, and then it will be expensive and cheap. So do you say it's better to 'turn a stone into gold' or 'turn a stone into a stone'? God has set the rules so that we don't end up harming ourselves by changing the world beyond recognition because of our desires. ”

Fortunately, this exam was no longer invigilated by Ariel, but an instructor from another school. Otherwise, when I see Zhang Jiabao's test papers, I will laugh at him, what age is it, human beings have long understood the world, and what creationism is still being promoted.

On the morning of the third day, the final exam was held. Write a large essay of more than 2,000 words, taking into account the students' knowledge and ideological level. Zhang Jiabao is still in a good mental state, and most of the candidates are exhausted and just want to finish the exam as soon as possible.

A large blank exam paper was sent down, with only a few lines of words on it, which was the title of the essay: "If you are an important minister of the Dakang Empire, how do you advise the emperor to grasp the relationship between the Xiuzhen sect and the magic trend, so that the Dakang Empire, which has been weak for many years, can re-emerge?" ”

This question makes many candidates feel uncomfortable, how can they get this kind of question that reflects reality. No matter how poor and weak the Dakang Empire is, it is also their mother country.

Some patriotic students want to leave blank space and not write, but then there is no hope of going on to higher education. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Some candidates with extreme ideas advocated that the imperial court abandon the cultivation of true civilization and plunge the whole country into the flood of magic, and with the joint efforts of 400 million people, there will always be a time of shame.

There is a reason why the Xiuzhen civilization is not well received in the Dakang Empire now. At that time, the Western coalition forces were overwhelmed in the war of aggression against China, and the imperial court realized that ordinary troops could not stop these jackals at all, so they requisitioned strong men from the major Xiuzhen sects.

I don't know if it's because the top powerhouses are too precious, or because the Xiuzhen sect is proud and despises foreign enemies, after some shirk, they sent some inferior powerhouses, but they were quickly cleaned up by the invaders.

The imperial court was furious, and the Xiuzhen sect sent a real strong man to resist the enemy. In the army, the strong men of different sects go their own ways and attack each other, and they all think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, you should listen to me. In the end, the decisive battle was a mess, and there was no one in ten strong men, and the marshal took the blame for killing himself.

The major Xiuzhen factions have dominated the rivers and lakes for a long time, and can even influence the change of dynasties and the emperor's ascendancy, and have developed the virtue of self-respect under the whole world. If they had been able to obey the dispatch from the beginning, put aside their old feuds and work together, they would not have been so badly defeated. Even if he still introduces magical civilization into the country in the end, it will never be a weak person who is quiet.

After the defeat, the vitality of the cultivators was greatly damaged, and although the imperial court was angry, it did not pursue it too much. The cultivators in power also began to reflect on themselves, imitating the magic civilization to build a school, but unfortunately the qualified and talented students all entered the magic school, and the cultivation civilization entered a long-term downturn.

After the earthquake six years ago, the Xiuzhen sect was even more noisy, like a rat in the hidden mountain, and no longer asked about the world. lest the spies of the magical civilization snoop on the secrets of the cultivation lineage, then there is really no reliance.

Now the origin of cultivation and magic has been made into a question, and it can only be answered from two directions. It's impossible to abandon magic and cultivate the truth, either abandon the cultivation of the truth and support the magic, or stay the cultivation of the truth, the main magic. Zhang Jiabao didn't know who the person who asked this question was, and he didn't know whether the marker would be a native or a foreigner. Come to think of it, let's answer according to our hearts.

First of all, the quintessence of the country cannot be lost. There must be a reason why the Xiuzhen civilization can exist for more than 3,000 years. For example, if the number of years of cultivation is the same, the melee combat of the mage is invincible to the cultivator. What's more, when the cultivation reaches a certain level, the lifespan will increase, which is also a mystery that the magic civilization does not have. It's a pity that Shangguan Naiya's master is very old-fashioned, saying that his talent is far worse than Shangguan Naiya, and he is unwilling to devote his energy to teaching a mediocre disciple, otherwise Zhang Jiabao would have the opportunity to learn magic and cultivate truth together.

The imperial court still wants to support Xiuzhen, but it must take back the power and resources of the various sects, and at the same time, it must open Xiuzhen schools in the name of officials at all levels, and select talents to set up their own descendants, so as not to happen again if they do not listen to the king. The heads of each Xiuzhen sect were also to be conferred official titles, so that they would regularly report to the imperial court on the new developments of their sects. A cultivator who does not have an official title, no matter how strong he is, cannot take the position of head of the family.

Perhaps when the power is taken over, it will be met with tough confrontation or even rebellion by various major factions, and how should the imperial court deal with it? Zhang Jiabao's proposition is to carry it out to the end, and to fight outside the country, it must first settle the inside. There is a kind of thinking in the Xiuzhen forces that if it is good, it is good to be alone, and if it is not good, it is because the six relatives do not recognize it, and whoever prevents him from attaining the Tao will turn against whom. Even if this kind of ideological cancer is suppressed by force, it must be uprooted, so that the whole country can unite as one and twist into a rope.

As for whether foreign hostile forces will take advantage of the situation when the imperial court is carrying out reforms, Zhang Jiabao thinks that it is unlikely, because now magic factories are blooming all over the country, and foreign magicians are engaged in projects, busy making money from the people of Dakang, and the Eastern and Western civilizations will not turn their faces for the time being.

Magical education should also be carried out throughout the country without abating, and the Dakang Empire should establish a complete system to retain talents. In recent years, it is sad that many students of the Empire who have achieved success in magic have stayed abroad to work for the white race.

Not everyone has a sense of patriotism, and some people love a strong motherland rather than a weak one. If the ancient Han Dynasty was dominating the world, how could anyone be separated from the imperial court? Now the imperial court cannot influence the thoughts of those who abandon the country, but can only give them honor, official positions, and money, and let them stay and serve the country.

The imperial court also has to find ways to master the core technology of the magic industry and open its own magic factory. Otherwise, the people of Dakang can only be subject to the white race, and sell cheap labor to support them.

However, the magicians of the Great Kang Empire, who mastered the elemental extraction technique or the elemental harmony technique, all defected to other countries in the end, or disappeared. Only a handful of them were able to return to their home countries, and the magic factories they opened were not competitive with foreigners. Our students have a long way to go to save the country.

After Zhang Jiabao finished writing the article, he collapsed on the chair seat as if he had been drained of all his strength. It's over, and I'll wait for 15 days to release the list. The invigilator glared at him when he saw his depressed posture. I had to sit up and wait for the bell to ring.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~" As soon as the bell rang, the world was in an uproar. The candidates were resurrected like rotten trees, chattering and discussing after handing in the test papers. There are not many people talking about the test questions, because no matter how well the test is, it is a foregone conclusion. They are more concerned about where they are going to play in the next few days, anyway, they are the owners of the family who are not short of money, and they should treat themselves after working hard for so long.

Zhang Jiabao excitedly went to Shangguan Naiya, "Sister, I finally finished the exam, it's very difficult, isn't it?"

"Well, it's hard. Shangguan Nai said without raising her head, while packing up her stationery.

"Then which school are you going to go to?" Zhang Jiabao asked earnestly.

"Fuzhou St. Martin's Intermediate School. ”

"Haha, that's what I thought. Zhang Jiabao smiled, "I'm going to go there too." ”

"Oh? Then I changed my mind. Shangguan Naiya glanced at him, "I'll go to Qingping Prefecture No. 1 Middle School." ”

"Well, I'm going to Qingping Prefecture No. 1 Middle School too. ”

"What are you doing!" Shangguan Naiya threw things on the table, inexplicably angry, "You go yours, I take mine, and I don't need your protection!" After a pause, he said, "I owe you, and I will naturally pay you back in the future!"

This made Zhang Jiabao stunned and at a loss. The invigilator who was cleaning up the exam papers on the stage said, "Okay, let's disperse, just the two of you are not leaving, don't hinder me from doing things." He muttered again: "Really, I don't know the convergence point when I fall in love at a young age." ”
