Chapter 218 Copying Ancestors' Homework
China has a civilization history of 5,000 years, but women in China have only been able to enjoy relatively fair rights to education for less than 100 years.
The century-long right to education, which is extremely short in the long river of history and not absolutely fair, has given Chinese women the opportunity to prove their own learning ability. They are not really "long hair but short knowledge" as the old saying goes; they are not defeated by male genes in intelligence. They just lost to the pseudo-civilized patriarchal society that regards them as property and livestock.
But then again… Looking back at the upper reaches of history from the perspective of the new era of the 22nd century, the pseudo-civilized patriarchal society is undoubtedly feudal and backward, but if compared with the power-sharing system before the Renaissance in the Western world, the pseudo-civilized patriarchal society is actually the advanced one…
Bi Ru is a different world that is highly similar to the social structure of Europe in the early twentieth century. Putting aside the fantasy magic technology, it is far inferior to the feudal dynasty of China.
In China's feudal dynasties, the elite class at least clearly understood the principle that "the people are the water and the king is the boat". When children of aristocratic families or noble sons from humble backgrounds became local rulers, regardless of whether they had achieved their goals or not, they would at least regard "educating the people" as a political achievement that they could boast about.
But in this alien world, the elite class lacks even this kind of consensus on face-saving. The methods and means they use to maintain the local ruling system are so crude and rough that they are even worse than Wang Xifeng in the big mansion.
This is Zhao Zhenzhen's biggest feeling after reading a large number of policy documents from the city hall over the years.
Closing the signed document left by the previous mayor in the first half of this year, Zhao Zhenzhen sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Even the most basic national identity has not been established, and the ideological field has not been occupied at all. This world is simply a paradise for rebels!"
Rex, who was studying hard nearby, was so surprised by these words that he almost threw away the pen in his hand.
Zhao Zhenzhen didn't pay attention to Rex's frightened look. She just took out the map of the Rhine Kingdom and began to read it with relish.
Rex didn't understand what the undead lady was doing, he just instinctively felt that the undead lady gave him a more terrifying feeling...
Although she was using a tool account, Zhao Zhenzhen's daily online time was only twelve hours, just like ordinary players. She used the last bit of her online time to look through a large number of documents. Seeing that there was no time to go downstairs and log off, Zhao Zhenzhen said to Rex, "Take care of my bones," and then left.
It wasn’t the first time that Rex had seen Zhao Zhenzhen fall apart after a greeting. He stood up silently, carefully collected Zhao Zhenzhen’s bones and put them in the cabinet…
The next day, Ms. Zhao "resurrected", and the first thing she did was to ask where the visiting team from Count Odysseus's family was.
After being imprisoned for more than ten days, the former lord Adela III seemed to suffer from paranoia. He always felt that Charles Rex let him go freely in order to harm him. He desperately wrote letters to the family of Count Odysseus in the neighboring territory, hoping to safely obtain "political asylum" under the protection of the Count.
Coincidentally, Lord Yang also wanted to establish a relationship and do business with the Count Odysseus's family - after all, the territory of the Count Odysseus's family happened to separate Innadri and the Nosk Federation that Yang Qiu particularly wanted to attack - and he asked Rex to send several invitations to the Count Odysseus's family.
Both sides were inviting people, and the Odysseus family, which had been waiting and watching for nearly a month after the change of ownership of Innadeli, finally responded after a long delay. When Yang Qiu was tricking the Gold Coin Church into fighting wits and courage with the air, the city hall also received a visiting call from Count Odysseus's family.
"The delegation should have entered Innaderi." Rex answered honestly, paused, and added resentfully, "The daughter of the Odysseus family who is visiting this time is an excellent and powerful archon. Please don't continue to use me as bait."
After the last incident at Viscount Darcy's house, Rex's reputation for being "lustful" spread out, making him feel very aggrieved.
"Of course not. We never use beauty traps. Besides, you are not really a beauty." Zhao Zhenzhen laughed dryly and asked, "Are there any famous heroes in the history of the Rhine Kingdom?"
Rex had a question mark on his forehead: "???"
"It's best to have official historical records. If that's not possible, unofficial history will do. It's the kind of heroic figures whose deeds can make the people of the Rhineland proud, and who can have some connection with Innader." Zhao Zhenzhen said.
History can be rigorous or not. Anyway, Westerners can fool people by taking Homer's epic poems as official history, so there is no big problem.
Rex still didn't understand what Zhao Zhenzhen wanted to do, but he was used to not being able to understand the intentions of this undead lady. He went to the bookstore in Midtown himself, found two nobles who surrendered to him, and brought back a bunch of legendary novels.
After all, the Rhine Kingdom is a country with five earls (not counting Innaderi) and a population of over 20 million. It was not too deeply implicated in the War of the Gods a thousand years ago, and the righteous deity it worships, the Lady of Gold, successfully "survived the disaster". It is not difficult to find dozens of "national heroes" with names in its long history of more than a thousand years.
Zhao Zhenzhen spent a long time looking through the "Heroic History" recorded in the form of legendary novels, carefully selecting a few "representative" characters who did not have too much dark history and met Zhao Zhenzhen's requirements. She immediately sent Rex away and contacted Lord Yang through the "Tool Panel"...
They are all Chinese people, and they are all thousand-year-old foxes. Yang Qiu only took a glance at the message sent by Zhao Zhenzhen and immediately understood what this political cadre was up to... Ahem! What kind of tricks did he want to play? He immediately put aside his happy meditation and ran to the city hall excitedly.
Then, the two old perverts locked themselves in the room and whispered to each other for the entire afternoon...
Earth time, 2020, January 1, Wednesday, New Year’s Day.
Every holiday is a good time for players to play all night long. Yang Ying played very late last night. He and his friends En Bu Zeng, Tang Jia, Jia Luo and others who had some free time to stay online for a long time happily stayed in the poisonous fog swamp for a whole night. They didn't go offline until dawn when everyone started to feel sorry for the long time they had been online.
In order to ensure that there was enough gaming time during the New Year's Day holiday, Yang Ying did not go online until five in the afternoon.
At this time in the other world, the New Year had passed for several days, and people were preparing for the traditional winter celebrations - in countries with agricultural habits, celebrations were mostly concentrated in winter. The Principality of Shiga, across the Tarantan Wasteland, also celebrated the Goddess of Prosperity Festival around this time.
When Yang Ying came online in the Exile Town, he immediately saw civilian NPCs from the town of Kamor in the Principality of Shiga hanging braided red silk threads on the door and window frames.
"There are holiday activities in the game?" Yang Ying immediately looked at Tang Jia, who had come online earlier than her, with shining eyes.
"No, the official website doesn't say there are any New Year's Day events?" Tang Jia was also confused.
"There is no activity. The NPCs are celebrating the festival on their own. I asked them when I came from Westerme just now." The orange cat boss who came to play with them waved his hand and said, "The NPCs in Westerme hang colorful strips on the trees, and the NPCs in Exile Town hang red lines on the door frames. It seems that this is because these NPCs believe in different gods."
"Fuck, the NPCs have designed so many festivals, why can't the idiot planners pay more attention to the players?" Tang Jia cursed on the spot, "It took me half a month to change my job as a warrior, how can this be justified!"
"Don't mention it. I've only run halfway through my second knight transformation." The orange cat boss said sadly, "If it weren't for the help of the European sturgeon, I wouldn't even be able to get through the first half."
The orange cat boss is different from other players. He can spend money to solve the problems of the number of elite quest monsters and the collection of materials that give most players headaches, but he is clueless when it comes to the quests that need to be completed alone. The relatively simple knight job change in the design process makes him feel like he is dying ...
"You have the support of the great boss, Ouyang, and you're still complaining. Who has a number one wizard following you around like a nanny like you?" Yang Ying laughed angrily, "I died more than a dozen times just trying to steal eggs from the depths of the spider's nest!"
As long as you don't compare him with the perverted national team who have tool accounts, Ou Yan is the undisputed chief boss among the players - the majority of the players have a potential value of 160 or 170, while the orange cat boss is only over 100, and he has already exceeded 200.
In Yang Ying's small team, the most hardworking girl, Gala, was the first to complete her job change and is now an Undead Ranger with bow skills. The next were Yang Ying and Tang Jia, who both turned into Berserker Warriors after dying painfully countless times.
It doesn’t matter whether the orange cat boss’ mascot has been successfully transformed or not. What matters is that the only wizard among them, Entropy Does Not Increase - after squatting in the poisonous fog swamp all night last night, he finally gathered enough monsters for the quest. If he runs two more rounds today, Entropy Does Not Increase will allow him to be transformed into a professional big-breasted dark prophet.
Several people were squatting next to the login point waiting for Entropy and Gala to log in, but they saw a flash of white light, and a group of players emerged from the login point cursing.
There are usually two possibilities for a group of people densely appearing at the teleportation point. One is collective teleportation, and the other is collective online. Just by listening to their unlucky expressions with their mouths full of greetings to the dog planner, you know it is the latter...
"Brothers, are we wiped out?" The orange cat boss took a look at the blood alliance marks in front of the IDs of these players. They were all Qin Guan's blood alliance, so he joked with a smile.
The player who walked down the dirt platform angrily glanced at the orange cat boss, then shifted his sight horizontally to the two familiar IDs Yang Ying and Sandwich Gummy Candy, and ran over with a slap on his thigh bone: "Sister Ying, Xiaotang, where is the big brother Entropy?"
"Qingyue will be here soon." Tang Jia asked curiously , "What happened to you guys? Did you trigger a hidden mission?"
"Isn't it!" The player who just logged on after the team was wiped out slapped his thigh bone again. "Our people received the call this afternoon. We haven't been able to contact Huahua or you guys!"
Last night, Qin Guan was also leading a team to open up the poisonous fog swamp. They were almost on the same line as Yang Ying and her team. It would be difficult to find people during the day.
"I'll go and urge Qingyue!" Tang Jia became excited when he heard about the hidden task, and immediately went online.
"What is the mission?" Yang Ying asked with sharp eyes.
The player who led the group to do the task added Yang Ying and the burdensome orange cat boss to the group without saying a word, and then shared the task information with them.
"The Elegy of the Barcelo River"
"The nameless noble spirits are still sleeping. Only the Barcelo River remembers their names."
——When designing the task, Yang Qiu and Zhao Zhenzhen chose the latter between "The Rhine Epic" and "Barcelona Elegy".
The name of the Rhine Kingdom came from the Rhine Royal Family. The two Chinese foxes were not very willing to help the Rhine Royal Family improve their status, so they chose the name of the largest river in the Rhine Kingdom...
In order to create "historical heroes" who can be accepted and recognized by the people of this land and to establish the most basic sense of national pride, it is important to make the landmark geographical environment of this land deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The Barcelo River, which flows through the territory of Innadri and irrigates most of the Rhine Kingdom, is tied to the image of a national hero that the two Chinese foxes are trying to create, shaping the special status of the mother river, so that people in the Barcelo River basin can develop the most basic sense of "community of shared destiny" as long as they hear this story, and let all people who drink the water of this mother river have the budding consciousness of "being separated by a strip of water"... Isn't it better than shouting that a certain family is naturally noble in blood and the people should unite around them?
The Chinese people's identification with the Yangtze River and the Yellow River and their pride in the Chinese nation have allowed the Chinese feudal dynasties to remain unified despite several changes. No matter how ignorant Yang Qiu and Zhao Zhenzhen are, can't they copy their ancestors' homework?
Of course, the most important point must be that the ancient heroes who make the people in the Barcelo River basin feel national pride must be carried out from Tarantin.
