Ling Ping An yawned.

Then he stood up and made himself a cup of tea.

The fragrant tea entered his throat and he was refreshed again.

Looking at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

He casually turned on the TV and watched the news while leaning back in his chair and scrolling through a micro-book.

Today, the biggest news and breaking point is that the Donglai Autonomous Region has begun to announce the results of the college entrance examination.

The Autonomous Region of Dongnai is an enclave of the Federal Empire.

Speaking of which, this enclave has a lot to do with the legendary Sun family.

Back then, after the Hundred Years War, Qin Lu surged and entered an era of great change.

Emperor Fran took the lead and initiated the reform of the modernization of Qin and Lu.

As a result, it was targeted by the whole world - except for the Federal Empire, the whole world was the enemy!

But the Confederate Empire hated foreign wars after the Hundred Years' War, and at best could provide moral and resource support.

As a result, Emperor Fran had no choice but to ask the Sun family, who was known as the richest man in the world at the time, to help mediate.

With this mediation, a piece of land in the Kingdom of Farrand was sold.

This land is very small, located in the Red Sea between Kunlun Prefecture and Qinlu.

It is an island of less than 30,000 square kilometers.

At that time, the price was 5 million federal Chinese dollars, equivalent to 500,000 taels of gold.

It's a friendly price!

However, it was useless for the Sun family to take this land, so it was a gift and dedicated to Emperor Dezong at that time.

Emperor Dezong looked at it......

I remembered Emperor Gaozong's last instruction: don't take evil as small, don't take good as small. Colonial Aggression, Intervention...... All are unrighteous acts...... If any of my children is one of them, they are not my children.

Therefore, he resolutely refused, and sent envoys and cabinet representatives to Donglai together, preparing to give Donglai Island independence and freedom.

But......

The Federal Empire never thought that the Donglai people would not do it!

As soon as the envoys and delegates landed on the island, they were surrounded by the local people.

As soon as I heard that, the Son of Heaven actually ignored them and wanted to give them independence.

Immediately splashed and rolled all over the ground, crying and grabbing the ground.

To add insult to injury, the Confederate Empire thought it would be a good propaganda flashpoint, so it sent a huge press corps to accompany the delegation.

And then......

Under countless flashing lights, photos of Donglai people crying and grabbing the ground were published in major local newspapers in turn.

In particular, in one of the photos, a certain chief of Donglai Island, out of nowhere, found out the Danshu iron coupon given to them by the emperor of the previous dynasty.

Looking at the history books again, Zheng He seems to have sent people here back then?

Moreover, there are descendants of the crew, probably settled here.

According to the examples of the Southern Zhou and Northern Zhou Dynasties, the relevant content of Article 12 of the Constitution can be invoked.

But the problem is that even with a lot of evidence.

However, the people of Donglai Island, in terms of skin color, culture, and customs, are completely different from the mainland of the Union.

It does not constitute the three necessary conditions of Article XII of the Constitution, the provision for membership in the Empire.

Thereupon......

The Imperial Cabinet was in a mess.

The Donglai issue triggered the first constitutional crisis.

In the end, the matter had to be submitted to Dali Temple for trial.

The nine great protectors of Dali Temple undertook the work of interpreting the constitution in the first formal sense.

After several years of trial and deliberation, the Grand Protector of Dali Temple finally rejected the request of the Donglai Kingdom to join the Federal Empire by a margin of 5 to 4.

The reason for this is that although Donglai Island has a long history of ties with the Empire, there is evidence that the ancestors of the Empire settled here...... However, according to the principles of the constitution and the repeated interpretations of Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong, Donglai did not constitute a necessary condition for joining the empire...... But taking into account the feelings of the people of Donglai, as well as the relevant history...... It is proposed that the central legislation allow Donglai to participate in some form of cooperation within the imperial family......

Thus, Donglai Autonomous Prefecture was born.

It is a Dominion that is never marked as an Imperial territory on the map, but is in fact indistinguishable from Imperial territory.

Everything in the land is according to the imperial system.

The local people enjoyed all the rights of the people of the empire except the right to vote and to be elected.

At the same time, the central treasury is allocated every year to take care of it, and the name is adopted as a 'special budget'.

Although the money is very small, it is millions every year.

However, Donglai is less than 30,000 square kilometers in total, and the total population adds up to hundreds of thousands.

Relying on the large market and resources of the Federal Empire, these hundreds of thousands of people directly live a life equivalent to that of their own territory.

State-of-the-art and complete infrastructure......

Highly developed network ......

There are also unbelievably cheap grains, medicines, machinery, ......

Naturally, there is the same level of education.

Donglai has a population of hundreds of thousands, but in the past hundred years, more than a dozen scholars have been sent to the empire.

Donglai people are quite good in terms of exams.

Every year, thousands of Donglai people come to study in the local university!

This time was no exception.

According to the results that have been announced, the university acceptance rate of more than 3,000 fresh candidates in Donglaikao District is close to 60%.

Among them, there are more than 200 people, and the score line has reached the standard of key universities!

Ling Ping'an looked at the photo on the micro-book, and he was also emotional.

"Actually, I may also be one of the candidates in Donglai......"

The Federal Empire had two fulcrums of aid in Kunlun Prefecture.

One is Malin and the other is Donglai.

Malin Naval Base and Donglai Air Base were two helping hands extended by the Empire to Kunlun Prefecture.

Every year, tens of millions of tons of aid enter Kunlun Prefecture through these two places.

Most of it is food and medicine.

Most of the children of foreign aid workers go to school in Donglai.

It's relatively safe and has as many well-developed facilities as it is home.

Therefore, Ling Ping'an had actually packed up and was ready to go to Donglai to study.

As a result, his parents died unexpectedly.

The matter was put on hold.

Now, looking at the beautiful pictures of Donglai Island on the microbook, Ling Ping'an is also full of emotion.

Closing his phone, he leaned back in his chair.

"Since the results of Donglai have been announced......"

"So soon, the results of the Western Song Dynasty and the local area will be announced one after another......"

"I don't know, can Jiangcheng counterattack Bao'an this year?"

Thinking of the ridicule of the Bao'an people to Jiangcheng in the past ten years, Ling Ping'an has some expectations.

For the people of the Federal Empire, bad grades are really a topic that is easier to be ridiculed than bad economics.

After all......

From ancient times to the present, the status of education is higher than that of the economy!

The officials of ancient times, the work of education, is better than everything!

Therefore, although Jiangcheng's economy has always been better than Bao'an, this performance is not as good as Bao'an, there is really no way.

As soon as the people of Bao'an opened their mouths at the forum, they said: We are people who cultivate and read incense, and we are not in the company of the people of the copper smelly market!

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was Lao Zuan!

I can't refute it.

Especially last year, Bao'an No. 1 Middle School produced a national champion!

That's really ......

Dimensionality Reduction Strike!

"Calculating the time, according to the law of previous years, the results of Quang Nam District are estimated to be available for inquiry the day after tomorrow......"

"I hope I won't be pressed by the Bao'an people anymore!"

Bao'an and Jiangcheng are enemies from ancient times to the present.

For every Jiangcheng person, there is a popular Internet slang that can be described bluntly - anyone can lose, not Bao'an!

Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an remembered a thing that gave him a headache - the day after tomorrow, that is, when the results of the college entrance examination in Guangnan District can be queried, it seems that it is the day when the royal commissioner comes to the door.

So, he lowered his head and began to think about how to deal with the troublesome commissioner.

The rhetoric of the past is probably no longer useful.

After all, he's 24.

I can't use excuses like 'I'm still young' or 'I don't want to fall in love too early'.

It's also hard to excuse yourself with things like "I don't have time" or "I'm busy."

After all, age is here.

If you say that it will break the sky, people will not admit it.

And the royal commissioners are very patient guys.

Ling Ping'an has seen an example on the Internet, the Imperial Poverty Alleviation Commissioner, in order to help a poor village in the northwest get rid of poverty, actually left the comfortable life of the imperial capital and went to that plateau village to eat and live with the people.

It has turned a remote village into a modern rural area.

For this, he stayed from the age of thirty to the age of forty-five!

Fifteen years!

From a prime-aged official, he has become a black-faced man!

This is a very touching deed.

But if he had peace in the face of such a person, he knew that he had no chance of winning.

"But I really don't want to go......"

He lamented.

What's so good about the imperial capital?

There are high-rise buildings everywhere, and luxury cars and treasures everywhere.

There's nothing good to eat, and there's nothing fun to eat.

It's bad luck to think about!
