The content of Fang Yun's second edict was very simple. At the cost of consuming his own Saint Force, he would perform Talent Infusion for all the women who made it to the top of the Golden Roll. At the same time, he would give up the Literature Star Fragment in his hand and throw it into the outer space of the Saint Origin World.
Everyone understood the hidden meaning of the edict. Women would not compete with men for Literature Star Force and Literature Star Force. All the women's power would be provided by Fang Yun.
After reading the edict, even those who opposed it the most were silent.
Everyone knew the price Fang Yun had to pay for doing this.
Once the Half-saint's Literature Star Force was given to others, it would be completely consumed. It could not be recovered after using the War Poem.
Fang Yun aside, even Kong Sheng would have been affected if he had done something like that all those years ago.
Kong Sheng was so selfless and great, but he only gave his Literature Star Force to the saints and the human race after his death.
Fang Yun did this when he was alive, and he did it when he needed to be promoted to a Quasi-saint.
What kind of selfless dedication was this?
Compared to Fang Yun, all the saints in the world were overshadowed.
Fang Yun was the noblest saint in the world!
He was a real gentleman who was on par with Kong Sheng!
Some scholars read the edict again and again, and their eyes even turned red.
After these days of debate, most of the scholars understood that letting women participate in the Imperial Examinations would increase the strength of the human race and greatly increase their chances of winning against the demons and barbarians.
However, everyone was selfish. If all women could participate in the Imperial Examinations, their chances of being promoted would be reduced by half. No one would be willing to give up half of the chance of promotion.
But now, the Literature Star Force and Literature Star Force obtained by women were completely independent of men. While greatly increasing the strength of the human race, they would not compete with men!
At this moment, almost all the scholars felt guilty and were conquered by Fang Yun's great personality.
Not only the ordinary scholars, but even the great scholars and the human Half-saint were stunned by the edict.
Some people heard Wang Jinglong, who was recuperating, repeating the words of the demon and barbarian Half-saint.
"If the heavens did not give birth to Fang Yun, eternity would be like night."
Some people also heard Mi Fengdian muttering to himself.
"The Lord of Resurgence has a clear conscience."
Some even heard a long sigh coming from the old Peach Mountain.
Thus, a new article began to receive a large number of replies.
"Fang Sheng, please at least take back the Literati Star fragment. We are willing to share the Literati Star power with the woman!"
When the scholar saw this article, he had mixed feelings.
Talent descending from the heavens was the most important thing. This involved the quota for the imperial examinations, and they were really unwilling to give it up.
The Literature Star Force was different. In fact, as the Literature Star Force grew stronger, the human race would have an endless supply of Literature Star Force. The excess Literature Star Force would enter the human body or the mountains and rivers, slowly transforming the Saint Origin World. It would be more efficient to let a woman absorb it directly.
Right now, the Saints' powers were still preventing the woman from absorbing the Literate Star Force.
The last paragraph of the article moved everyone.
"Before this, Fang Sheng had not only risked his life to fight the demons, barbarians, and the Dragon Slayer Saint. Not only had he sacrificed his Saint Power, but he had also sacrificed the fragment of the Literati Star, a divine item that was extremely important to the Divine Path. As men, shouldn't we give in at all? He sacrificed the Divine Path. Can't we even sacrifice the Literary Star Power that we don't need? When did the human race become so despicable?! When did the human race become inferior to the demons and barbarians?! Do the human race have any humanity left?! Even if it's not for our mothers, wives, and daughters, for Fang Yun, I am willing to sacrifice the Literary Star Power! What about you? "
Among the people who replied the fastest was Xu Ting, who was the first to scold Fang Yun for betraying the scholars.
"With this article, I would like to express my utmost respect to Fang Sheng! I have been blinded by lard. I have measured the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain! Fang Sheng did not betray the scholars at all. He was silently sacrificing for the human race! Today, I found out from the Mi Sheng family that Fang Sheng had said from the beginning that he had no choice but to let the women participate in the Imperial Examinations for the human race. However, he could not bear to see the men fail because of the appearance of the women! Therefore, not only did he increase the number of men in the Imperial Examinations, he also took care of all the talent and Literary Star Force that the female scholars needed! What else can I say about such a great person? I can only say that I am also willing! I will add three words: I am wrong! "
Because Grand Secretary Xu Ting's reply was ranked third, many people could see it.
The scholars who were originally moved by the article all shed tears.
"I am willing! I am wrong! "
"I am willing! I am wrong! "
…
Similar replies appeared at the bottom of the article.
It was a stark contrast to the reply of "Heavenly Execution Jingguo".
Jiang Prefecture, Jade Sea Prefecture, Xu Residence.
An old man in a wheelchair was holding a handkerchief with trembling hands. He lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes.
The old man wiped his tears as he said, "Who wrote this? I clearly knew about this plan from beginning to end. Why am I crying?"
"No matter who wrote it, their feelings for Fang Sheng are real!"
Xu Ting nodded and wiped his tears. He put down the handkerchief and stared at the Jade Sea Prefecture's magistrate.
"Fang Sheng's party is full of talents."
The Jade Sea Prefecture's magistrate hurriedly said, "They are all sincere!"
"Of course! No matter what, it is my honor to be able to help the human race and Fang Sheng! I have to say that Fang Sheng is truly amazing. "
"That's right." The Jade Sea Prefecture's magistrate sighed softly.
"Magistrate Ma, Old Man is really envious of you. If Fang Yun was one of Old Man's schoolmates, the Old Man would have become a great scholar by now, "Xu Ting said regretfully.
Ma Yuan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Fang Sheng. Without his guidance and influence, I would only be a minor provincial scholar at most. I wouldn't have been able to become a Grand Scholar and take charge of a prefecture."
"Fang Sheng's schoolmates are all rising to the top now. I am envious," Xu Ting said.
"That's right …"
Ma Yuan looked into the distance with a smile on his face.
Fang Sheng's party now had complete control of Jingguo.
"Is the River of Enlightenment real or fake?" Xu Ting asked.
Ma Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I went there a few days ago and found that it was very different from the first time I saw it."
"Why?"
Ma Yuan thought for a moment and said, "After Fang Sheng became a Saint, the River of Enlightenment seemed to have changed completely."
"It seems like Old Man has to go and take a look."
At the same time, notices were posted everywhere in Jing Country. In every city, there were people chanting the three new laws, once a day, for five whole days.
From three-year-old children to eighty-year-old old men, everyone knew about the three new laws.
At the same time, the academies in Jingguo were undergoing large-scale renovations. Except for the key areas, the examination rooms and other buildings were all converted into schools.
Because of the strict order from the Cabinet of Jingguo, the officials treated it as a top priority. They went door to door to count the number of girls and boys of suitable age. Regardless of gender, anyone above seven years old and below twelve years old would be forced to enroll in the school after autumn.
If they were illiterate, regardless of gender, anyone below twenty years old could voluntarily enroll in the school. Those above twenty years old could enroll in the night school that would be opened in the future.
To prevent families from regretting their decisions, the officials asked the families to sign and affix their signatures to ensure that all children could enroll in the school after autumn.
If anyone refused to sign, the bailiffs would try to persuade them. If that still didn't work, the officials would use all kinds of methods to enforce the law.
For example, they would enlist corvee labor, imprison people for resisting the law, increase taxes, and use all kinds of immoral but legal methods.
