[There's no need to wait for the second one. I've gone out to deal with some personal matters. I'll make up for what I owe next month.]
Some examinees had outstanding attainments in carpentry and also displayed extremely high abilities in their respective fields.
Some examinees had great abilities in prisons. Seeing that the people in the city had no laws to abide by, they began to study the past and present and compiled a penal code. This allowed the people in the city to be clean, and no one dared to take even half a step out of line.
Those who knew the art of war even wantonly trained their soldiers and recruited troops. They built their ancient city to be like an impenetrable iron wall. They fought valiantly against ferocious beasts and monsters, protecting the people in the ancient city.
However, there were also those who only talked on paper. When they put it into practice, they immediately felt at a loss. There was no order at all, and they didn't know where to start. Not only was the city in chaos, but it was also destroyed by the ferocious beasts in the end. Even the people in the city were destroyed. Blood flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere.
Such examinees would naturally be expelled from the virtual space at the instant of death. Their results wouldn't be much. They wouldn't be able to fend off external enemies, and their own cities would be destroyed. They wouldn't be able to display their talents. Regardless of education, agriculture, prisons, business, military affairs, fortifications, medical care, governance, livelihood, etc., they would all be bad. Without a doubt. Such examinees weren't qualified to be the mainstay of Da Yi.
They would be expelled from the first tier.
Naturally, even if they had results, there was no doubt that they wouldn't be good. They would be in the ranks of being eliminated.
During the trial, the people of an entire city were completely annihilated by you. Blood flowed like a river. Who in the Great Yi Dynasty would dare to appoint you to an important position? Moreover, you did not score more than six points in any of your subjects. Naturally, no matter what field you were in, you were not a promising talent. It was better to continue being an ordinary person and focus on cultivation.
In the virtual space. Due to the intentional consumption of mental energy on the Star Web, the ratio of time to the outside world was different. In here, three years was equivalent to one day in the outside world. Even if it was an illusory world, the amount of resources required to integrate one's mental energy into it was massive. If it wasn't for the imperial examination, Yi Tianxing definitely wouldn't have allowed such a waste.
After all, reversing the flow of time also required a massive amount of resources.
But to these examinees, this was a great fortune. Compared to others, he had three more years of experience. For a genius, time was often the most important thing.
He might be able to soar because of this.
Over the past three years, every change in the virtual world had been recorded by the Star Web and seen by Cai Yong and the other examiners.
In the first year, a large number of examinees were eliminated.
It was inevitable. After all, not everyone was a genius at ruling the world.
Unknowingly, three years had almost passed in the virtual space, and it was about to reach the stipulated time.
And in these three years, the world of the imperial examinations had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Many examinees used these three years to stabilize themselves.
At this moment, in an ancient city, Jinyun City, a middle-aged man was writing rapidly on the desk in the City Lord's Mansion. However, each of his words was meticulous, careful, and even more meticulous.
When the last word landed on the paper, one could see the entire book emitting a thick layer of Talent Qi and Treasure Light.
The middle-aged man heaved a long sigh. He looked at the book in front of him, and a heartfelt joy appeared on his face. He threw his head back and laughed. "Good, good, good. After three years, I, Li Kui, have finally compiled a complete code. With this code, the Da Yi Dynasty will definitely become more complete. There will be laws to abide by, and there will be punishments to be judged. No matter what happens in this imperial examination, as long as I complete this code, I will have done my part for the Da Yi Dynasty. "
The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a burst of wild joy.
This joy came from the bottom of his heart.
The Da Yi Dynasty was different from other dynasties. Many laws could control the common people and restrain their desires, but they couldn't restrain cultivators or the hearts of people. Therefore, to a certain extent, many laws in the past were not suitable for the Da Yi Dynasty. Therefore, although the Da Yi Dynasty had been established, and many courtiers wanted to write corresponding laws that belonged to the Da Yi Dynasty, most of them were not good at it.
It was bound to be difficult to compile a code. Moreover, there were all kinds of things to do, so there was not much free time. In the end, it had been stalled until now. The compilation of laws would definitely have to be delayed for a period of time.
What was the law? The law was a net, a shackle.
A net of desires, a shackle on people's hearts and desires. It was because of this shackle that morality came into being. Etiquette came into being. A sharp sword hanging over the heads of all living beings. It could fall at any time and cut off people's heads.
The code that Li Kui had compiled was a code that could be applied to the Da Yi Dynasty. Perhaps there were some provisions in it that needed to be changed or even carefully considered, but it was not a big problem. It could be changed according to specific circumstances.
At this moment, a Shenguang descended from the sky and appeared directly where Li Kui was, enveloping the code.
A voice descended from the sky and appeared between heaven and earth, even in the entire imperial examination space.
"Candidate Li Kui, after three years, has compiled a code that can be applied to cultivators and the Da Yi Dynasty. It will be of great benefit to the entire Da Yi Dynasty. Among the ten subjects in the imperial examination, you will get a full score of ten points for the Penal Punishment. You will get eight points for enlightenment. "
An invisible heavenly voice was transmitted to the ears of every candidate.
The code was naturally related to penal punishment, but once it was completed, it would also be of great help to enlightenment. Enlightenment itself was carried out within the scope of the law. It was to enlighten the hearts of people. Only the law could bind the hearts of people. Many subjects were connected by one and two, and the two were connected by one.
"What a great code. As expected of the mainstay of the school of Legalism. A famous figure indeed cannot be compared to others when it comes to compiling codes. Good, good, good. With this code, the laws of the Da Yi Dynasty can be perfected in the shortest time possible, and even be put into practice. "
After the code was completed, it disappeared as the Shenguang enveloped it. When it reappeared, it was already in Yi Tianxing's hands.
It could be seen that the code seemed to have become very different. It had already begun to glow with a mystical light, completely enveloped by the aura of talent, and filled with the power of laws and rules.
After reading it carefully, Yi Tianxing could not help but nod to himself.
This was indeed a code that could be applied to the entire cultivation civilization.
Yi Tianxing was very satisfied when he saw it. This was indeed a remedy for one of the shortcomings of the Da Yi Dynasty.
Similarly, he had long known who Li Kui was.
To be able to compile such a code, and to combine the laws and the various changes of the Da Yi Dynasty into a flawless one, only a famous figure of the school of Legalism could do this. Li Kui.
Li Kui was originally from Anyi in the Wei Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. He could be said to be a political reformer in the history of Huaxia. He was an important representative of the school of Legalism. He was once the Prime Minister of Wei Wenhou and presided over the reform.
Moreover, he was not only talented in criminal law, but also in other aspects. Back then, he carried out the policy of "doing the best in the land" and "being kind and fair" to encourage farmers to cultivate intensively and increase production. He asked the government to buy surplus grain at a fair price in the good years and sell it at a fair price in the bad years. He advocated sowing a variety of grain crops at the same time to prevent famine. Politically, he implemented the rule of law, abolished the aristocratic privilege system, and rewarded the meritorious people, making the Wei Kingdom a powerful country in the early Warring States Period.
At the same time, he compiled the laws of various countries at that time into the Dharma Scripture, which was the first relatively complete code in the history of Huaxia. It could be said to be a pioneer in history.
Its significance could be said to be immeasurable.
Almost all the laws of later generations were derived from this Dharma Scripture. They were more or less greatly influenced.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. With the birth of this code, the Da Yi Dynasty will definitely become more orderly. There are laws to abide by. This will remove another obstacle on the path of Da Yi Dynasty's expansion. "
Huang Chengyan said with a smile.
There was no doubt about the importance of laws.
Among them, the first function was to "settle disputes", in other words, to clarify the ownership of the object. One of the school of Legalism, Shen De, made a very simple analogy, "When a rabbit runs, a hundred people chase it. Accumulating rabbits in the market, ignoring them. If you don't want the rabbit, you can't fight for it. " It meant that when a rabbit ran, many people would chase it, but when there were so many rabbits in the market, they wouldn't even look at it. It wasn't that they didn't want the rabbit, but that the ownership had already been determined, and no one could fight for it. Otherwise, they would be breaking the law and would be punished.
The second function was to "encourage merit and fear violence", in other words, to encourage people to make military achievements, and to make those who broke the law feel fear. The ultimate goal of merit was to enrich the country, strengthen the army, and obtain victory in the annexation war.
In the past, the laws and regulations of Da Yi Dynasty were a bit crude for a dynasty.
"Yes, to establish a dynasty and walk the path of cultivation, the dynasty that is established is a cultivation civilization. The laws are naturally not ordinary laws, but heavenly laws. After this imperial examination, we will gather the talents of the school of Legalism, and based on the specific situation of our Da Yi Dynasty, with this code as the core foundation, we must compile a heavenly law that belongs to our Da Yi Dynasty. Under the heavenly law, anyone who belongs to Da Yi Dynasty must abide by it. The heavenly law cannot be violated. "
A strange look flashed in Yi Tianxing's eyes, and he said decisively.
