Dora Aimeng: "At least the host didn't say that the Three Character Classic was written by her. The author's name is Anonymous."
Xiao Juan Zi's Juan Zi: "In fact, I think the streamer's way of doing things is smart. After all, in ancient times, scholars despised each other. If you really want to convince the other party, you need to have excellent skills and literary self-restraint. If you rely on plagiarism alone, the possibility of exposing yourself is too high."
In fact, there were quite a number of viewers who urged Jiang Pengji to write her name on the book. After all, the Three Character Classic was an enlightening book. If it were to be popularized in the future, almost every child would be exposed to it first. Her name would be immortalized for generations to come.
However, her answer made the audience feel awkward.
[Host V: According to the federal law on the protection of original literature, the crime of plagiarism is very serious. The minimum sentence is three years, and the maximum sentence is life. Even if you're not sued by the original creator, 90% of the profits will belong to the original creator, and you'll have to pay a high amount of psychological damages.]
Apart from this reason, Jiang Pengji had another more important reason.
Her gaze was fixed on the distant future, not the petty gains in front of her.
The Three Character Classic given by the audience in the streaming room was very short. It did not take Jiang Pengji long to finish copying it. She asked Taxue to dry it with an incense burner.
Feng Jin had nothing to do, so he sorted the dried papers according to their contents and bound them into a booklet.
Compared to the books he had read before, this short "Three Character Classic" was very shallow, but easy to understand.
"Sigh, with the chaos of the Sixteen Kingdoms, who knows how many treasures have been lost and their inheritance broken."
Feng Jin read the Three Character Classic over and over again. As smart as he was, he vaguely knew the true purpose of this book.
Because of Jiang Pengji's misdirection, he had already determined that this was the only copy that had been lost during the chaotic times of the Sixteen Kingdoms. He did not know where Cheng Cheng had found it from. It was already difficult enough to maintain a relatively complete content, so he did not dwell on the question of who the author was.
Because of this, Feng Jin admired Cheng Cheng's persistence even more.
In his opinion, that was the true strength of a scholar, and not the mutual deceit and intrigue of the court.
Jiang Pengji listened and casually said, "They are all unique copies. Once they are destroyed or the people who know the contents are gone, the future generations will never be able to read the contents. If we can expand the scope and everyone has a copy, or if more people read it, it will be easier to pass it on. "
If an era wanted to progress, books could not only belong to one family or a small group of people.
It just so happened that the current situation was that many precious, unique copies were in the hands of one or a few landowning households that had existed for a long time. If these landowning households met with misfortune, the unique copies might be lost or completely disappear, and the inheritance would be severed.
There were many reasons for this phenomenon, but in Jiang Pengji's opinion, there were two main reasons.
Firstly, the technique of papermaking had not yet matured. The bamboo slips were heavy and the paper was light. In other words, the technological productivity of society was insufficient, causing the cost of studying to be too high, and ordinary people could not afford it. If they couldn't even afford to eat, who would have extra money to study?
Secondly, the monopoly of the special class on the inheritance of knowledge systems.
The former was still manageable, but the latter was too difficult.
If he wanted to break the current system of passing on knowledge and popularize education, it was inevitable that he would come into conflict with these aristocratic families that monopolized knowledge.
Just by thinking about it, she could guess how great the pressure was.
However, the road was made by people. As long as one had the heart, there was nothing in this world that was impossible.
Feng Jin did not reply, but the way he looked at Jiang Pengji was different.
Jiang Pengji noticed this detail, but she did not care. She continued to deal with the various annotations that gave her a headache.
At that moment, she especially missed the virtual network and the powerful AI system.
She had everything she wanted. Why would she need to copy it by hand?
"System, are you dead?"
She was multitasking. She read the bullet screen, copied the book, and typed on the System.
The System snorted. "I'm already dead. If there's something, burn incense. If there's nothing, visit the grave."
Jiang Pengji secretly clicked her tongue. She ignored it for a while, but the System's temper was getting worse.
"Can't you copy the contents of the bullet screen? You see how hard it is for me to copy it by hand. Can you at least be considerate? "
The System said coldly, "I'm sorry, host. Your streaming level is not high enough. You don't have the authority to do so. You have to be at least level three."
Jiang Pengji secretly glanced at the popularity points backstage and frowned slightly. Her accumulated popularity points had long exceeded the million mark. This number was just enough to upgrade a level two streamer to level three, but if she did that, her popularity points would be used up.
If she did that, it would undoubtedly put her in a position where she would be held back.
The System had been coveting the points for a long time. It had tried to tempt her to spend them, but Jiang Pengji was not tempted.
Thinking about that, she directly suppressed the idea of upgrading her level.
She deliberately kept the System in suspense. After a long time, she said, "Oh, then I'll just copy it by hand. I'll treat it as practicing my calligraphy."
The System: "…"
Oh, was she deliberately teasing it?
In order not to arouse Feng Jin's suspicion, Jiang Pengji not only copied the Three Character Classic and the annotations, but also wrote down from memory a few volumes of military books that Cheng Cheng had memorized. Coincidentally, Feng Jin's family also had such a book collection, but a very important half was missing.
When he saw Jiang Pengji's complete copy, he immediately loved it and carefully read the missing contents.
"Mr. Cheng is really a wonderful person." Feng Jin sighed from the bottom of his heart, as if he had obtained a treasure. "My father loved this book. He often lamented that he could not see the whole book in his lifetime. He searched all the houses but could not collect it completely. I didn't expect that I would be able to see the whole book … "
Time passed quickly as Jiang Pengji copied and wrote. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the assessment.
The assessment was the current selection system of Dongqing. It was similar to the nine-rank system that the audience was more familiar with, but there was a big difference between the two.
The assessment was conducted every three years. The top three categories were "family background, morality, and knowledge", while the bottom three were "appearance, ability, and temperament".
Family background was needless to say. It depended on one's father, mother, and ancestors. It was better to reincarnate than to learn well.
Morality belonged to the category where one could cheat and get a good score by bribing the assessment officer.
Knowledge, the general assessment officer would set the question and answer within a time limit.
Appearance, in short, was based on the face and the way they dressed. When the time came, they would see a group of gorgeously dressed sissies.
As for ability, this criterion was rather vague. Basically, it was a person writing an ability report and bragging about it. This item was linked to one's knowledge. If one bragged too much, one's knowledge would be rejected by the General Evaluation Officer, and there was basically no hope for one's ability.
Temperament, this category was interesting. It completely depended on the general assessment officer's personal preference. If he liked you, he would give you a score. If he liked you, he would give you a score. If he disliked you, he would have a bad temperament. This was also the category where it was easiest to cheat.
Looking at the above six categories, the general assessment officer played a very important role in it.
It was different from the closed examination that the audience in the streaming room knew. The assessment was more like a large-scale royal gathering.
As Liu She's "son," Jiang Pengji naturally received an invitation.
Looking at the invitation, Jiang Pengji spat out a sentence after a long time.
"I have never seen such a childish assessment …"
