With man conquering nature as the core, Fang Yun continued to write. He didn't use any fancy words or parallels. He used the simplest and most accurate words to describe the food chain and the grassland ecosystem.
Read the latest and most complete novel
In the books of Saint Origin World, many stories were related to the food chain and the balance of the ecosystem. However, due to the limitations of the era, there was no systematic research. Even if the School of Gongzi, School of Agriculture, and School of Medicine had been developing, it would still take two to three hundred years for them to make a breakthrough.
Starting from Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing's mention of 'tiny creatures invisible to the naked eye', Fang Yun used a large number of related records and works as the basis to start to demonstrate the phenomenon caused by man's interference with nature.
Fang Yun started with the simplest sheep eating grass and wolves eating sheep. He took the Yuansu region as an example. When wild wolves were rampant, the number of sheep and other herbivores decreased drastically. The humans killed all the wolves and lions. As a result, the vultures were the first to go extinct. Then, a large number of herbivores reproduced, causing serious damage to the vegetation in the Yuansu region. It took several great scholars to work together to restore the Yuansu region.
After discussing the creatures, Fang Yun added in the non-biological changes in the environment, such as the changes in the water circulation system.
After the demonstration, Fang Yun wrote down the second part of the general outline. It was a specific strategy derived from man conquering nature.
Punish the barbarians on behalf of Heaven!
Fang Yun began to write down the practical strategy that he used in the mysterious grassland. He used the goats that gnawed on the grass, the rabbits that were good at destroying the grassland, changing the waterways and rivers, and other methods to weaken the barbarians in the grassland.
Fang Yun had read a lot of books these days. He was very familiar with the environment of the grassland. Moreover, he had served in the army before. Therefore, every part of the strategy was very perfect.
Unknowingly, Fang Yun used the brush to write rapidly. The brush formed an afterimage on the paper. He could finish a row of words in almost a breath. In just a moment, a page was full. Fang Yun immediately changed the paper.
When the sun was setting. Fang Yun finally finished writing. He put down the brush and counted. There were eighty-two pages. Each page had more than 150 words. It could be said to be a true book of ten thousand words. This was very rare in policy theory. Even the number one policy theory in Saint Origin World, 《Passing Qinlun》, had less than three thousand words in total.
Fang Yun read it again and found that there was nothing he could change. He took out a piece of white paper and wrote three words on it.
Barbarian Pacification Policy.
Fang Yun numbered the eighty-two pages. Avoid being messy and easy to read.
Finally, Fang Yun arranged the poems, the classics, and the Barbarian Pacifying Strategy separately. Then, he went to the other nine policy topics and chose two topics to write, making a total of three essays.
Fang Yun reached out to take the test paper, but he froze when he was halfway through. The thick stack of paper on the table hadn't shrunk. It was about two inches thick as before.
Fang Yun looked at his "Strategy for Pacifying the Barbarians" again. There were 82 pages. Logically speaking, he had already used up all the exam papers sent by the bailiffs. Where did the extra papers come from?
Just as Fang Yun was thinking, he was suddenly shocked. He opened his eyes wide and looked in front of him in surprise.
A golden brush floated in the air. The brush was only about a foot long, but Fang Yun felt that he had to look up to see it clearly.
The brush floated in the air. The light kept expanding and contracting.
Every time the light expanded, various images of the human world would appear in the light. There was a fisherman fishing. There was a scholar reading, an old cow plowing the ground, and so on. The human race lived in all kinds of ways. It was ordinary and simple, but it contained the truth of the Holy Path, which was hard to understand.
The Holy Path Brush, the Scholar's World.
Fang Yun was confused. He had never seen this brush before, but he could guess from the stories he had read that this was the legendary Holy Path Brush.
How did the Holy Path Brush come to him? Was he dreaming? Was he dreaming of the Holy Path Brush blooming?
Fang Yun blinked and saw the Holy Path Brush move. It slowly landed on the "Strategy for Pacifying the Barbarians".
Fang Yun opened his eyes wide and stared at the Holy Path Brush, afraid to miss a single detail.
He saw the golden Holy Path Brush start writing on the page of the "Strategy for Pacifying the Barbarians".
"A".
Then, the Holy Path Brush landed on "Save the People" and "Memory of Home", and wrote "A" on each.
Half-saint's Honor, Holy Path Brush Evaluation!
The highest honor in the Imperial Examination! No other!
Even though Fang Yun had experienced many big occasions, he could not hide the joy in his heart when he saw the Holy Path Brush Evaluation. He smiled happily.
The Holy Path Brush Evaluation meant that the three Half-saint examiners had confirmed that Fang Yun was the first in this High Scholar Examination. After the results were released, Fang Yun would become the top scorer in Jiang District.
At this moment, the examiners in Jiang District's examination hall, regardless of whether they were from the Capital or Notre-Dame, had lost the right to judge the three papers. They could only give the rest of the examinees a B, and not an A.
Fang Yun originally wanted to continue writing the other two policy essays, but Half-saint had personally evaluated them. This meant that in Half-saint's eyes, the "Strategy for Pacifying the Barbarians" was worth three policy essays in terms of standard and word count.
Fang Yun's High Scholar Examination had ended.
After the Holy Path Brush wrote three "A" s, it slowly disappeared.
Fang Yun stood up and bowed to the three Half-saint examiners in front of him. Then, he began to tidy up the table.
Brushes, inkstones, paperweights, etc. were all placed into the box. The used and unused papers were arranged neatly, and the three completed papers were placed in the middle of the table.
The three golden "A" s were like dragons, as if three mountains were placed on the papers, making the three papers even more important.
Fang Yun carried the box on his back and the basket of food in his hand. He took one last look at the three golden "A" s and left the examination hall.
Fang Yun walked towards the square in front of the Holy Temple. All kinds of sounds came from the examination hall behind him. Some people exclaimed, some people gasped, some people slammed the table to vent their anger, and some people let out suppressed laughter.
At first, Fang Yun was puzzled as to why these people were so exaggerated, but he soon understood. It turned out that these people thought that he had given up on the examination.
Fang Yun smiled and shook his head. Since it was the Half-saint's personal selection and the Holy Path Brush's evaluation, this matter had to be announced by the Half-saint. If he said this before the results were released, it would be disrespectful to the Half-saint.
It was evening, and the sun had already set in the west. The sky in the west was only left with the afterglow of the sunset, and the curtain of night could cover it at any time.
Fang Yun walked out with a smile on his face. When he walked out of the examination hall, he saw many examiners sitting in the pavilion in front of him. The beggar Imperial Uncle Zhao Jingkong was still sleeping as if no one was around. A long line of saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth. The surrounding examiners did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Fang Yun put down the basket. He cupped his hands and bid farewell to the examiners, then picked up the basket and walked out.
Zhao Jingkong, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at Fang Yun. His confused eyes suddenly became clear, but immediately became confused again.
The rest of the examiners felt that something was wrong and looked over.
Other than a few who did not recognize Fang Yun, the rest of the examiners looked at Fang Yun's back view in shock. Soon after, many of their faces were filled with anger.
"Fang Yun … gave up on the examination?"
"This is only the second day of the High Scholar Examinations! It's only the second day of the ninth month! Did I remember wrongly? "
"That's right, today is the second day of the ninth month. The High Scholar Examinations should end on the morning of the fourth day of the ninth month. By then, it would only be three days and three nights. "
Ever since the Imperial Examinations began in the Saint Origin World, there had never been an Elementary Scholar who left on the second day. Even the most arrogant and confident examinee left on the afternoon of the third day. That person was the famous East Sage Wang Jinglong.
Since ancient times, every examinee who left on the first or second day had given up on the examination.
This was the Imperial Examinations, not a practice. Even a Grand Scholar would not be able to answer the High Scholar questions. Even a Grand Scholar would not be able to answer all the questions within two days.
"Fang Yun!" Magistrate Sun gnashed his teeth in hatred. He was Cai He's old friend and had always paid attention to Fang Yun. He had placed the hopes of the Great Origin Prefecture and even Jing Country on Fang Yun.
But now … Half of his hopes had been dashed.
"Forget it, Magistrate Sun. The rules of the imperial examination cannot be broken. Everyone has their own aspirations." Governor Ge's gaze towards Fang Yun gradually turned cold. He waved his hand, indicating for Fang Yun, who had just turned his head, to leave. However, his gaze was filled with disappointment.
Fang Yun cupped his hands again and continued to walk out.
Magistrate Sun said angrily, "If he didn't take the High Scholar Examinations this year, it would have been fine! If he handed in his paper at the end. Even if he failed all three subjects, I would not have been so angry. Instead, I would have tried to persuade him and hoped that he would rise. But look at what he did! He gave up in less than two days. If he was really useless, I would not have said anything. However, he could have continued. Why did he let it go? "
Notre-Dame's Inspector Han Lin said, "Don't be angry, Brother Sun. Maybe Fang Yun's goal was to be in the top three, but after experiencing the High Scholar Examinations, he realized that his ability was limited. He could only get one or two at most. Therefore, he decided to give up on the examination and try for a full A next year."
"Even so, it is disrespectful to the Imperial Examinations, the examiners, and the Saints! If he wanted to be in the top three, couldn't he have left on the fourth day? He did not even have the basic respect for the Imperial Examinations and the Saints. I was really blind before! "
Zhao Jingkong wiped the saliva from his mouth and said weakly, "Send someone to bring the papers here first. Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe he has already finished all three subjects."
Two runners immediately went to fetch the papers.
"Impossible! It would take at least six hours for a sutra or a policy to go through the process of thinking, writing, and revising! Do you think it is enough time? What's more, when I was patrolling last night, I saw him sleeping soundly. He went to bed before nine o 'clock and woke up later than the others. Using such an attitude to take the Imperial Examinations is an insult to the Saints! "Magistrate Sun was furious.
Except for the Notre-Dame's Inspector, everyone present was from Jingguo. They all shook their heads and sighed. It was hard to imagine that Fang Yun would give up on the examination.
"It is normal for him to give up on the examination because he is not strong enough. Fang Yun is such an amazing talent, yet he gave up on the examination. It will be a stain on his name forever! Even if he becomes a great scholar in the future, he will never be able to wash away the shame of today! Bastard, I am so angry! "
Governor Ge sighed softly and said, "It is normal for a young man to have a weak heart and impure nature. You and I have all worked hard to get to where we are today. Who hasn't kowtowed until their heads were broken and bleeding? Forget it, once this matter is out, the Ten Nations will be furious. When he is afraid, he will regret it. Maybe it will be a good thing for him. "
"Lord Ge, you are experienced. Fang Wenhou suddenly became a high and famous person. It is normal for him to be arrogant. If you and I were young, we might not be much better than him. I hope he can turn over a new leaf in the future and not disappear into the crowd. "
"Lord … Lord …"
All the officials looked in the direction of the voice and saw two runners who went to fetch the papers running back. One of them accidentally fell on the ground and tripped the other.
