Chapter 844: Another Bachelor Party Again?

These two people were physically stronger than ordinary people, but not psychologically stronger.

Soon, their faces were excited.

Ren Baqian could clearly see that the two of them were about to start fighting.

Ren Baqian folded his arms for a long time to see how this problem would be solved.

Or it could be said that he was waiting to see how long it would take before someone came to fix the problem.

Martial artists weren’t ordinary people, and their destructive power was much greater. At this early stage, it was fine, but as time went by, the strength of ordinary people would increase and their destructive power would increase dramatically.

This society had been peaceful for too long of a period. This sudden gain in strength would change the mentality of many ordinary people, breaking the current balance.

Ren Baqian was waiting to see how long it would take for the relevant departments to appear because this represented how well the country had prepared.

It took three minutes.

Three minutes after they started to fight, a person arrived wearing a dark blue uniform with a black iron badge bearing the words “Martial Enforcer.”

His strength was about the same as both of them.

However, when he appeared, the two of them immediately slowed down and then retreated from each other.

“What are the two of you doing? Fighting in public is forbidden! What’s the problem? Follow me to the bureau!” the officer shouted.

“He tried to find trouble with me!” one of them vehemently declared as blood flowed profusely from his nose.

“It was you who provoked me first!” the other guy retorted, his eyes looking like a panda’s.

Although the officer was about the same strength as the two men, they had grown up in a peaceful society and were quickly taken away since they feared law enforcement agencies.

Ren Baqian estimated that taking three minutes to respond, although not considered very fast, wasn’t too bad. The city was so big and the number of law enforcement officers was limited. This speed showed that the country had adequately prepared for the changes in this world.

This was a newly established department that specialized in arresting errant martial artists and preventing them from causing trouble.

Of course, the aforementioned martial artists were at the Man Wheel level.

Currently, the military and Wuji City experts were all at the Man Wheel level. Therefore, these law enforcing personnel were only involved in minor matters, similar to what the police were doing.

After seeing this sudden fight, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were excited, whereas Ning Caichen seemed to be thinking.

It wasn’t until mealtime that Ning Caichen said, “The people here are very different!”

“What are the differences?” Ren Baqian asked with a smile.

“The energy and att.i.tudes are different.” Ning Caichen scanned the surroundings while talking. “I was born in Great Xia, have traveled to the Yun Nation, and have stayed in Dayao for a long time. The aboriginals, although poor, are different from the rest and have the highest strength. The citizens of the other nations, even those of Great Xia, are mostly living for the sake of living.

The aboriginals, however, are different.”

Hearing this, the empress showed interest.

She liked to be flattered.

Praising the aboriginal citizens was the same as praising her.

“But the people here that I have just seen have higher energy than the aboriginals. I have been observing them all this time and they seem to be ordinary citizens, but they aren’t like those in Great Xia or the Yun Nation. I can’t pinpoint it specifically, but they are very different.”

“Are you referring to mental outlook?” Ren Baqian laughed.

“They are definitely different. Almost everyone is educated to about the level of a xiu cai[1.xiu cai: A candidate who pa.s.sed the imperial examination at the county level in the Ming and Qing dynasties]. 80 percent of the young and middle-aged people are equal or better qualified than a ju ren[2.ju ren: A candidate who pa.s.sed the imperial examination at the provincial level]. They also know what’s happening around the entire world at any time. Let alone the citizens of Great Xia and the Yun Nation, the cognitive abilities of the people here are even better than a ju ren.”

“How is this possible?” Ning Caichen looked incredulous.

In Great Xia, there were examinations for both literary and martial arts, and of course, there were many xiu cais. Ning Caichen was born into a rich and influential family, had pa.s.sed the imperial examination, and naturally knew the value of a xiu cai and ju ren.

As for a xiu cai, he or she could directly become an imperial court official.

The total population of Great Xia was 300 million. Only two out of 10 were literate, and these two weren’t necessary tong shen[tong shen: A candidate who hasn’t pa.s.sed the imperial examination at the county level]. Out of 100 tong shens, approximately one would qualify as a xiu cai. It could be said that at least 1,000 people were needed to produce one xiu cai.

As for a ju ren, the rate was even lower.

Yet, almost all the people here were at the level of a xiu cai and 80 percent of the young and middle-aged people had the knowledge of a ju ren?

How could Ning Caichen believe this?

Everyone could know what was happening around the world at any time? Was everyone a divine being who could see thousands of miles away?

The empress glanced at Ren Baqian. She knew that almost everyone here went to school, but she had never heard Ren Baqian compare it like this before.

Ren Baqian laughed because he knew the examination system of Great Xia very well.

The xiu cais had high status, but their level was equivalent to the junior high school level. Most of their knowledge was derived from ancient texts.

Their level of mathematics was similar to elementary school graduates, not to mention physics and chemistry.

As for a ju ren, at best, they were at about a senior high school to university level. Similarly, this was with regard to knowledge of the cla.s.sic texts. Their mathematical knowledge was no better than a second year in junior high school, and their knowledge of physics and chemistry was practically zero.

Of course, they weren’t totally useless. They were at least better at writing poems and having fun in the brothels. They had their own ideas about governing the country and being a ju ren—they were all outstanding people.

However, overall, there was no comparison at all.

“You will know after some time. You will be stationed here and can see for yourself,” Ren Baqian said resignedly. No matter how he explained it, it was better for Ning Caichen to personally experience it.

After the meal, he brought them to buy two suits and ordered two pairs of gla.s.ses for Xin Zhe at the same time.

Then, he went home and got busy again.

His parents were particularly pleased to see their daughter-in-law. They grinned from ear to ear.

The next day, Ren Baqian brought the group to the city for a spin. After all, he didn’t have to prepare for the wedding as his family members had done all the preparations.

Ren Wannian also brought along more than 20 winged cavalry warriors from Wuji City.

The day before his wedding, a friend came over.

It was Chen Qing.

As a matter of fact, Ren Baqian had been on very good terms with him back when Ren Baqian was an ordinary man. Chen Qing and his father were worthy friends.

However, Ren Baqian became very busy later, had his fingers in too many pies, and had less contact with Chen Qing as a result.

But they still contacted each other occasionally by phone.

Therefore, besides his parents informing their friends and relatives, only Chen Qing knew about the wedding.

“Brother, I’m here. Do you want to go for a drink? Do you want me to hold a bachelor’s party for you?” Chen Qing asked mischievously.

Ren Baqian immediately became animated.

The empress, who was playing with her phone nearby, p.r.i.c.ked up her ears.

Another bachelor’s party again?

The empress looked at Ren Baqian with a crooked smile, and her eyes were threatening.

On the previous occasion, it was Tong Zhenye. Who was it now? Was he going to give her some trouble every time?
