I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 334 - : Ling Ping'an's Troubles

Chapter 334: Ling Ping’an’s Troubles

Ling Ping’an yawned.

Then, he stood up and made himself a cup of tea.

The fragrant tea entered his throat, and he regained his vigor.

Looking at the time, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon.

He turned on the television casually. As he read the news, he leaned back on his chair and scrolled through his WeChat read.

Today, the biggest news and breaking point was that Donglai Autonomous Region had begun to announce the results of the college entrance examination.

The Donglai Autonomous Region was an enclave of the federal empire.

Speaking of which, this enclave had a lot to do with the legendary Sun family.

Back then, after the hundred-year war, land of Qin and land of Qin surged into the era of great change.

The Faran Emperor took the lead and initiated the modernization of land of Qin.

As a result, he was targeted by the entire world. Apart from the Federal Empire, the entire world was an enemy!

However, after the hundred-year war, the Federal Empire Hated Foreign Wars and could only provide moral and resources support.

Therefore, the Faran Emperor had to find the Sun family, who was known as the richest family in the world at that time, to help mediate.

With this mediation, he sold a piece of land in the Kingdom of Fran.

This piece of land was very small, located in the Red Sea between the Kunlun State and the land of Qin.

It was an island that was less than 30,000 square kilometers.

At that time, the price was five million federal dollars, which was equivalent to 500,000 taels of gold.

This was the price of friends.h.i.+p!

However, the Sun family took this piece of land, but it was useless. So, it was given as a gift to Emperor Dezong at that time.

When Emperor Dezong saw it, he remembered Emperor Gaozong’s last words: Do not do evil in small ways: Colonial invasion, interference… all unrighteous acts… If any of my descendants do one, they are not my descendants!

Therefore, he decisively refused and sent an envoy and cabinet representatives to Donglai, preparing to give Donglai Island independence and freedom.

However, the Federal Empire never thought that the Donglai people would not do it!

The envoy and representatives were surrounded by the local people as soon as they landed on the island.

As soon as they heard that the emperor actually ignored them and wanted to give them independence.

They immediately threw tantrums on the ground and cried.

What was even more tragic was that at that time, the Federal Empire thought that this would be a good promotional spot, so they sent a huge press corps to accompany the delegation.

Then, under countless flashes, photos of the donglai people crying and crying were published one after another in the metropolitan territory’s major newspapers.

In particular, one of the photos showed a certain chief of Donglai Island who had somehow found the iron coupons for the elixir books given to them by the previous emperor.

Looking at the history books again, it seemed that Zheng He had sent people here before?

Moreover, there were descendants of the sailors who might have settled here.

According to the examples of the southern and Northern Zhou dynasties, this could be cited as the relevant content of Article 12 of the Const.i.tution.

However, the problem was that even though there was a lot of evidence,.

The people of Donglai Island, regardless of skin color, culture, and customs, were completely different from the people of the metropolitan territory.

They could not form the three requirements of Article 12 of the Const.i.tution for joining the empire.

Hence, the imperial cabinet was in chaos.

The Donglai issue caused the first const.i.tutional crisis.

In the end, this matter had to be submitted to the Supreme Court for trial.

The nine Supreme Court Guardians took on the task of officially interpreting the Const.i.tution for the first time.

After years of trial and discussion, the Supreme Court Guardians finally rejected the request of Donglai Kingdom to join the Federal Empire by a score of five to four.

The reason was: Although Donglai Island had a long-standing relations.h.i.+p with the empire and there was evidence that the ancestors of the empire had settled here… According to the principles of the const.i.tution and the repeated interpretations of Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong, Donglai did not const.i.tute a necessary condition for joining the empire. Considering the feelings of the Donglai people and the related history, it was suggested that the central federal government legislate to allow Donglai to partic.i.p.ate in some form of cooperation with the Empire’s big family..

Thus, the Donglai Autonomous Prefecture was born.

This was an autonomous territory that would never be marked as the empire’s territory on the map, but was in fact no different from the empire’s territory.

Everything in the local area was in accordance with the imperial system.

The local people enjoyed all the rights of the people of the empire except for the right to vote and be elected.

At the same time, the central federal government had funds allocated every year in the name of a ‘special budget’.

Although the money was very little, it was only a few million per year.

However, Donglai had a total of less than 30,000 square kilometers, and the total population added up to several hundred thousand.

Depending on the large market and resources of the federal empire, these hundreds of thousands of people directly lived a life equivalent to that of the metropolitan territory.

Advanced and complete infrastructure…

Highly developed networks…

There were also grains, medicines, and machinery that were so cheap that they were beyond imagination..

Naturally, they also had the same level of education.

Donglai had hundreds of thousands of people, but in the past hundred years, they had sent over a dozen grand secretaries to the Empire.

The Donglai people were even more outstanding in the aspect of examinations.

Every year, over a thousand Donglai people would come to the metropolitan territory to study in universities!

This time was no exception.

According to the results that had been announced, the university admission rate of the 3,000 plus candidates in the Donglai examination district was close to 60% .

Among them, there were over 200 people whose scores had reached the standards of key universities!

Ling Ping’an looked at the photos on WeChat read and was also filled with emotion.

“Actually, I might also be one of the Donglai examinees…”

The Federal Empire had two support points in Kunlun state.

One was Ma Lin, and the other was donglai.

Malin Naval Base and Donglai Air Force Base were the two a.s.sistance hands that the empire extended to Kunlun State.

Every year, tens of millions of tons of aid materials entered Kunlun state through these two places, and most of them were food and medicine.

At the same time, most of the children of foreign aid workers went to school in Donglai.

That place was relatively safe and had developed facilities that were as good as those in the mainland.

Therefore, Ling pingan had actually already packed his luggage and prepared to go to donglai to study.

In the end, his parents unexpectedly died, so this matter was put on hold.

Now, looking at the beautiful pictures of Donglai Island on wechat read, Ling Ping’an was filled with emotions.

He closed his phone and leaned against his chair.

“Since donglai’s results have been announced…”

“Then soon, the results of Western song and Metropolitan territory will be announced one after another…”

“I wonder if Jiangcheng City will be able to defeat Bao’an this year?”

He was thinking about how Bao an people had ridiculed Jiangcheng city in the past ten years.

For the people of the Federal Empire, a bad result was a topic that was even easier to ridicule than a bad economy.

After all, since ancient times, the status of education had always been higher than the economy!

The education of the officials in ancient times was more important than anything else!

Therefore, although Jiangcheng City’s economy had always been better than Bao’an’s, their results were not as good as Bao’an’s. There was really nothing they could do about it.

On the forum, the people of Bao’an immediately said, “We scholars do not a.s.sociate with those who are stinking of money!”!

The moment they opened their mouth, it was the old ancestor, an!

However, they could not refute it.

Especially last year, Bao’an City’s No. 1 middle school had forcefully produced a national champion!

That was really…

A blow to the dimension!

“According to the previous year’s pattern, the results of Guangnan district should only be available the day after tomorrow…”

“I hope they won’t be suppressed by the people of Bao’an again!”

Bao’an and Jiang city had been enemies since ancient times.

To every resident in Jiang City, there was a popular online phrase that could be described directly — anyone could lose, but not Bao’an!

Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an thought of something that gave him a headache, which was the day after tomorrow. The day the results of Guangnan District’s college entrance examination could be checked, seemed to be the day when the imperial commissioner came to visit.

Therefore, he lowered his head and began to think about how to deal with that Troublesome Commissioner.

The words he used in the past were probably no longer useful.

After all, he was already 24 years old, which meant he could no longer use excuses like “I’m still young” or “I don’t want to fall in love too early.”.

It was also very difficult to use excuses like “I don’t have the time” or “I’m very busy”.

This was especially so when age was displayed here.

Even if he said it out loud, people would not acknowledge him.

Ling Ping’an had seen an example on the internet. In order to help a poor village in the northwest get out of poverty, the imperial family’s poverty alleviation commissioners abandoned the comfortable life in the imperial capital and went to that plateau village to live with the common people.

He forcibly turned a remote village into a modern village.

For this reason, he stayed from the age of 30 to the age of 45!

It was a period of 15 years!

From a prime official to a black-faced man!

This was a very touching story.

However, if Ling Ping’an came to face such a person, he knew that he had no chance of winning.

“But I really don’t want to go…” he lamented.

What was so good about Imperial City?

There were tall buildings everywhere, luxurious cars and houses everywhere.

Apart from that, there was nothing delicious to eat, and there was also nothing fun to play with.

The prospect was indeed depressing.
