The following tour was also an eye-opener for everyone. Kuangsha Literature Network

The most central location of this new city was the palace. Outside the square surrounding the palace were the residences of some of the court officials, and further out were the various ministries and departments.
Everyone went straight to the east of the city and finally saw what the unfinished construction looked like.
Countless tractors and trucks were coming and going on the wide road.
A few buildings that were still under construction had huge stone and wooden shelves that hung materials from above.
The crowd was scattered everywhere like ants.
This scene was so spectacular that even Ren Baqian was a little dazed.
It looked very much like a modern construction site.
Especially those tractors and trucks that were driving on the road.
However, modern construction sites weren't so huge. Even Wuji City wasn't considered much compared to this city.
More than 100,000 people were used to build this city.
"What's the name of this city?"
"The capital!" Ren Baqian replied faintly.
The other cities that were called the capital were just nicknames.
However, this place was different. The name was given by the empress, and it was called the capital.
It was the residence of the emperor and the capital of the entire human race.
When she said this name, the empress was arrogant and looked down on the world.
He had to admit that he liked this domineering attitude of the empress. Every time he saw her like this, his heart would jump a few times.
It was only interesting to have sex with such a woman.
Then, he would be carried out seven days later …
However, the name "the capital" was indeed domineering. Even the deans of the various academies were shocked.
Ren Baqian stood in the middle of the road, pointed to the magnificent city in front of him, and said to everyone behind him, "This world has changed!"
These words made everyone's heart jump again, and they secretly wondered what Zhao Prince Consort meant by saying this.
"The world has changed, and it's changing faster and faster. If you can't keep up with the changes in this world, you will be eliminated! "Ren Baqian ignored everyone and just looked ahead.
The first to be eliminated were those who couldn't accept new things.
Just like on Earth a few decades ago, many people used smartphones, got used to mobile payments, and used to doing everything with their phones. However, many people didn't even know how to use a smartphone.
These people were generally elderly.
They were gradually falling behind the times.
In the decades that followed, the process repeated itself.
Cultivation techniques, thinking feedback technology, and all kinds of new technologies were constantly making batch after batch of people unable to keep up with the changes of the times.
It would be the same in this world.
After sighing, Ren Baqian turned around and smiled at the people behind him. "Do you know? If he wanted to take down Great Xia, he could do it at any time. It's just that it's not necessary! "
"Zhao Prince Consort is right. Even when Great Xia was at its peak, it wouldn't have been able to resist Dayao's army. Furthermore, Great Xia has been through many years of war, the people are suffering, and the national strength is declining!" someone immediately said.
However, most of these deans still had some integrity and wouldn't flatter him too much.
As for what he was thinking, it was hard to say.
After all, everyone knew that the aboriginals didn't have enough officials.
The aboriginals had a small population and few talents.
Ren Baqian didn't care what they thought. Back then, the Palace of Heaven wanted to wrap up Great Xia and give it to him.
Great Xia, which was regarded as the number one country in the eyes of others, was more of a burden to him.
"Do you know why I invited all of you here?" Ren Baqian always changed the topic after one sentence, which made everyone a little uncomfortable.
Everyone felt that Zhao Prince Consort was hinting at something.
As for what the hint was, they had to go back and think about it themselves.
However, this question wasn't difficult at the moment.
"I'm just guessing, but I don't know if it's accurate!" someone said.
"Tell me about it." Ren Baqian turned around and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
"The Palace of Heaven wants to give these young people a chance!" that person continued.
Ren Baqian laughed. These words were indeed pleasing to the ear.
"That's right! Give them a chance, and give you a chance too! "
Everyone was slightly stunned. Giving those students a chance was something that everyone understood. However, what did it mean to give them a chance?
"When you go back, add a literacy course to all of your academies. You will pass down Dayao's simplified Chinese. In the future, most of the books will be written in simplified Chinese. If you can't read and understand books, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you are eliminated from this world. "Ren Baqian's words made everyone silent.
One had to know that the written language wasn't just a carrier for recording, carrying knowledge, and exchanging ideas. It was also the historical heritage of a nation.
Did Zhao Prince Consort actually mean that he wanted to change the written language?
"Your Highness, you can't do that!" Even if the dean didn't want to say anything, he had to stop him at this time.
"Why not?" Ren Baqian narrowed his eyes, looked at everyone, and said without waiting for them to speak, "Is there a need for two languages in a country? Unifying the written language and weights is something that must be done. "
His tone was stern and didn't allow anyone to refuse.
"In the future, simplified Chinese will be the official language. Newspapers will be in simplified Chinese, and all kinds of official documents will be in simplified Chinese. All kinds of books will also be in simplified Chinese. Physics, chemistry, mathematics, politics, economics, law, manufacturing, agriculture, and everything else will be in simplified Chinese if they don't understand it. What's the difference between the students you teach and the commoners who haven't gone to school? "
Ren Baqian's words made everyone's faces turn pale.
Then, he softened his tone and said, "If you are willing to keep the original written language, that's fine. However, simplified Chinese is more conducive to learning and dissemination, so it must be implemented. "
After that, Ren Baqian didn't say anything else and let everyone think for themselves about what was important.
After thinking for a while, he added, "In the future, the national exam will also be in simplified Chinese."
Everyone was in a mess, but they still perked up after hearing this. Zhao Prince Consort mentioned the national exam. Could it be that he was going to hold the national exam?
The Yun Nation had been gone for six and a half years. During these six and a half years, the students of the academy didn't have any way to advance and could only work for the Chamber of Commerce or be an advisor to some officials. However, it would be different if the national exam was held. They could enter the imperial court and become officials!
"In about two or three years, the national exam will be held again. After that, the imperial court will issue a document. Furthermore, it's not limited to men or women. Even women can participate as long as they are knowledgeable enough, "Ren Baqian said. The last sentence was specially said to the dean of Zhitai Academy.
As for Zhitai Academy, he was still rather optimistic about it.
…
After returning to Lan City that day, many students heard the news that the national exam was about to be held again and were very excited.
In any case, as long as the national exam was held, they would have a chance.
Otherwise, no matter how knowledgeable they were, they wouldn't be able to advance.
In particular, the many women of Zhitai Academy were excited when they heard the news.
Other than in the palace, there were no precedents of female officials in the Yun Nation. Even if they were successful in their studies, they would only be able to manage their family's business after they got married.
However, Zhao Prince Consort's words gave them hope.
Furthermore, they weren't worried that Zhao Prince Consort's words were false.
In Dayao's imperial court, it wasn't uncommon for women to become officials. In fact, there were even women who became generals.
As for learning simplified Chinese, they didn't have as big of a reaction as the dean.
Many people were also very interested in the strange things in Black Bamboo Academy!
