Chapter Twenty-Eight: Copying the Public
The empire is a very contradictory country.
This kind of contradiction has probably completely flowed in the blood and bone marrow of the people of the empire, and it is deeply integrated with the soul of the people of the empire, and it is difficult to separate.
They are very proud, they are very inferior.
They are enthusiastic, they are used to indifference.
They are realistic egoists who are always ready to sacrifice their lives for their dreams.
They long for all the good and pure, but their lives are full of sin and filth.
This is an extraordinarily complex country, and in this country, there are extraordinarily contradictory people.
About 500 years ago, the Pompeii dynasty, which had ruled the entire world for nearly a thousand years, collapsed overnight.
There was chaos on the continent, smoke rising everywhere, and corpses were everywhere.
The original Pompeii royal family, with a large amount of wealth and surplus troops still loyal to them, continued to retreat south.
After giving up almost half of the size of the mainland, he was given time to breathe and re-establish the country.
It's just that the surname Pang and the surname Pei of the Pompeii royal family have long been no longer close, and the overnight collapse of the dynasty has also caused a deep gap between the two surnames, and the new state of government finally formed has nothing to do with the previous dynasty and imperial system.
As a result of mutual compromise, the Confederation was born.
At that time, the entire northern part of the continent was still in a situation of melee between multiple forces.
After the establishment of the Federation, there were also voices within the Federation that sent troops to the Northern Expedition and restored the rivers and mountains.
The empire rose in such troubled times, established the country by force, and was obviously surrounded by enemies on all sides, but it killed a piece of the world by force.
Compared to the Federation, which inherited most of the power of the Pompeii Dynasty and quickly restored normal order, the Empire fought on the northern continent for nearly a hundred years before finally completing the great cause of statehood.
The Hundred Years' War made the empire at that time obsessed with power, and also sneered at the Union's indecisive northern policy for nearly a hundred years.
But at the same time, the Federation represents the orthodox inheritance of the Pompeii Dynasty after all, even after a hundred years of chaos, the empire is close to collapsing order, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, it is still full of yearning for the culture of the Federation.
This is where the pride and inferiority of the people of the empire come from.
In the following 400 years, the people of the empire devoted themselves to development and caught up, and under the premise of having a strong force, they finally gradually caught up with the footsteps of the Federation in other fields such as culture, politics, and economy.
However, cultural discrimination will not disappear because of this, and for more than 400 years, the most famous literati and scholars on the mainland have basically come from the Federation.
The image of the empire also seems to have always been completely tied to the word 'martial artist'.
Therefore, for the empire to pay more and more attention to literature and history education, in Ye Ning's view, it is also a natural thing.
No matter how murderous you are, once you rise to the national level, you must always wear neat clothes and become polite.
Thinking about these things, Ye Ningyun used his pen like a fly, and quickly wrote the answer on the scroll.
Although the empire has paid enough attention to the education of literature and history, it is not possible to change the contempt for the course of literature and history in the bones of the whole country.
Therefore, the test papers of literature and history courses, at least in Ye Ning's opinion, are always on the low side.
The entire college entrance examination only occupies a score of 100 points in the 1,000-point system, which also makes the status of literature and history classes extremely embarrassing, and even some students who meet the standards in the spiritual apprenticeship grade have a completely scornful attitude towards literature and history classes, and many of them don't even know how to use a pen.
This made Ye Ning quite emotional, he used to be a middle student at most, but in this world, he can be comfortable in literature and history courses.
Since he was a child, his grades in literature and history classes have also been top-notch, and he has never used the wisdom of his predecessors.
Strictly speaking...... Actually, it's pretty cool.
Maybe this is the fun of being a top student, right?
Basically, without much thought, I wrote all the front of the test paper.
Li Hui, who was at the same table, was quite happy, although her neck barely turned at all, her eyes were slanted to the limit.
Ye Ning didn't mean to block it at all, so it was very convenient for Li Hui to see it clearly.
However, this Li Hui has a lot of experience in copying the scroll, and he did not completely copy it according to Ye Ning's answer.
Of course, the content of memorization and dictation does not need to be modified, but on some subjective questions, Li Hui has consciously made significant changes.
In this kind of surprise exam, she doesn't want high scores, she just wants to pass.
Seeing Li Hui secretly gesticulating, Ye Ning knew that she had finished copying the front scroll, so she flipped the scroll over and began to fill in the contents on the back.
Gong Ying, who had been standing on the podium to supervise the discipline of the examination, suddenly walked to Ye Ning's side.
Li Hui, who was copying happily, was taken aback, thinking that her small movements had been discovered, so she retracted her gaze in fear, lowered her head and looked at her nose and nose, and even her breathing was much lighter.
However, Gong Ying's attention was not on her at all, but she slowly stood behind Ye Ning, watching Ye Ning concentrate on filling in the test papers, with a curious expression on her face.
Come on, let me see what you are capable of, and you dare to set your goals on the Big Six!
If it's just big talk, you have to look good! If it's really capable...... Maybe you can also be pulled into the rebirth plan!
Thinking back to the words that the principal had said to her yesterday, Gong Ying thought silently in her heart.
Of course, Ye Ning knew that Gong Ying was standing behind him, but he didn't care at all, the difficulty of the paper was basically negligible, and without much thought, he answered almost the content on the back.
When only the last big question was left, looking at the content of the question, Ye Ning was in a trance for a while.
Because of this last question, candidates are required to write their feelings about life in the form of poems!
And Ye Ning has been in this world for eighteen years, and his biggest insight is ...... Only loneliness.
Both the Federation and the Empire have a strong preference for poetry, and the so-called geniuses who can write good poems and fill in good words can have a high social status even if they have no spiritual talent.
Therefore, in the study and examination of literature and history courses in the empire, poetry is also the most important content.
However, all along, in order to keep a low profile, Ye Ning has never stolen the wisdom of his predecessors, and the level of the poems he wrote is, of course, quite pitiful.
But from now on, he doesn't plan to continue to converge!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ning picked up the pen and opened his own road of copying with a famous work in that world.
Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow.
Hiss!
Gong Ying, who had been standing behind Ye Ning, suddenly widened her eyes as Ye Ning finished writing this poem!
Subconsciously gasped, and at the same time instinctively reached out and covered his chest hard!
