Yunnan's policy of changing the land and returning to the river has been implemented more smoothly than in Guizhou, mainly because the degree of sinicization in this place is higher.

The Qujing Mansion where Tian Qiu's eldest brother served, was still a military and civilian government when the country was founded, and the prefect was served by Tusi, also known as the "Tu Prefect", and the military and government were grasped. The Han official served as the Tongzhi, the palm seal, and was responsible for supervising the Tu Governor's Office.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's later years, the Tu chief Longhai rebelled, and Mu Ying was calm, throwing Longhai to the border of Liaodong, and died halfway through. Long Hai's son Ah Zi succeeded to the throne and rebelled again, and Mu Ying was peaceful again. When Mu Ying and Fu Youde put down the rebellion, they easily killed many small toasts and set up several guards.

After Mu Ying's death, the local chieftain Azifu rebelled again and was killed by Mu Ying's son Mu Chun, and Yunnan was completely pacified.

And the Qujing Military and Civil Mansion has also become the Qujing Mansion.

Remove the word "military and civilian", that is, the prefect has changed from a toast to a liuguan, and the toast can be the same governor and governor at most. By the Hongzhi period, Qujing's Tutongzhi and Tu Governor were also abolished, and the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream was completely completed, leaving only some scattered small toasts.

The Tusi inheritance system in the Ming Dynasty was also developed by the Qujing prefect.

Before that, anyone could inherit the toast. As soon as the old Tusi died, his descendants, brothers, wives, concubines, and nephews ...... It is often made into a pot of porridge, and the court is very troubled by this.

Why do you say that eunuchs are a disaster for the country?

Ningzhou, Yunnan Province has already completed the reform of the land and returned to the stream, and Tutong Zhilu had bribed Liu Jin two years ago, and actually dismissed the Han official Zhizhou, and the court's hundreds of years of hard work were in vain. Lu Feng immediately colluded with the Tusi of Maitreya Prefecture, and a rebellion broke out in the two states at the same time, which had just been pacified not long ago - this is absolutely impossible for civil officials to do!

Tian Qiu's eldest brother is called Tian Gu, who is currently the general judge of Qujing Mansion and is the third-in-command of the place.

He set up a banquet to entertain all living beings and Qin generals, porters and scholars, and was also sent to drink and eat delicious food.

The five taels of silver that Wang Yuan lent to Tian Qiu not only returned immediately, but also gave Wang Yuan two pieces of Zhanyi ham. This is a local specialty, which was later known as Xuanwei ham.

After staying in Qujing, the group marched again and arrived in Kunming in mid-July, 20 days before the start of the township examination.

Qin took his head and the porters to leave, and after unloading the goods, he had to transport the Yunnan salt back to Guizhou for a few days.

The location of Yunnan Gongyuan is the area of Donglu Park of Yunnan University in later generations. This was newly built in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and the old Gongyuan was too crowded to meet the needs of the imperial examination in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

The streets near the Gongyuan were all temporarily renamed "Qingyun Street", taking the meaning of stepping into the clouds, and this is the way it is operated all over the country.

It's auspicious.

After the auspicious, rents skyrocketed.

Anyway, the house is limited, you can't live in it, and some people rent it.

Wang Yuan's group of students, including Tian Qiu, only twelve people were left who successfully walked to Kunming.

After entering the city, they went straight to Qingyun Street. I found that almost every house was pasted with red paper, and auspicious words such as "Dominating the Leader", "Kuixing Gaozhao", and "Anyu Qiuyuan" were written on the red paper, which were all used to attract students and tenants.

When you ask about the price, it's all staggering.

The closer you are to Gongwon, the higher the rent. There are several houses next to the Gongyuan, and the monthly rent of a single room is ten taels, and the landlord can provide three meals and hot water for free.

It is the house at the end of the street that is the farthest away, and the monthly rent of a single room is more than three taels.

Guizhou students go to Yunnan to take the exam, often with scholars, and they have to rent two rooms for one rent, which is not at all something that poor scholars can afford.

"Fellow students, I won't rent a house on Qingyun Street, the guest store is much cheaper." A student named Zhang Yun said. He was born in a well-off family, and he couldn't afford to bring a scholar, let alone rent a house.

The inn is far away from the Gongyuan, and it is noisy, so it is not a good place to live and wait for the examination.

As for why the inn is not built near the Gongyuan, because the location of the Gongyuan is far away from the market, and the township examination is once every three years, so the inn is waiting to be closed down if it is opened here.

Zhang Yun had just finished speaking, and another student said, "I also moved to live in an inn." ”

There were only these two people who were short of money, Wang Yuan immediately took out the silver, stuffed it into them, and said, "If the two alumni are not convenient, I can subsidize one or two." The Gongyuan is clean and elegant, and it is much more convenient to review books, and they have all walked from Guizhou to Yunnan, so do you care about how many taels of silver you have? ”

The two students thought about it, but still accepted the silver: "If the false brother is kind, he will be grateful, and he will be rewarded in the future!" ”

"What's the return? We are all fellow villagers and should help each other. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Wang Yuan is not a wronged boss like Song Gongzi, he is purely buying people's hearts. With just a few taels of silver, he can make two students feel grateful, and other students can have a better impression of him.

Moreover, "Qingyun Street" is full of students, and when anyone chats about it, Wang Yuan's reputation for righteousness and wealth can be spread.

Li Ying, Yue Zhen, Zou Mu and Tian Qiu and others, although they didn't take the silver seriously, they would only help those who had a good relationship. Seeing that Wang Yuan actually funded fellow students, they didn't think much about it, but felt that Wang Yuan was worthy of deep friendship.

The next step is to choose a room.

Zhusheng didn't find the closest house to Gongyuan, only a few steps less, and the rent was a lot more expensive, and living in that kind of place was really wrong.

However, there are really many people who are willing to be wronged, and it is said that the closer you live to the Tribute Courtyard, the more you can bathe in the luck of the Kuixing. And it is also reasonable, because those houses have to pass more than ten exams every year.

It's all nonsense, and if you can afford to live in a single room that rents for ten or two months, you are naturally either rich or expensive. And Yunnan and Guizhou are not prosperous, the richer the family, the better the educational resources obtained, and the higher the promotion rate, which has anything to do with where to live?

"Knock knock!"

They knocked at the door of a dwelling.

The owner of the house soon came out in person, said a few words of greeting, and invited all the students into the courtyard, and introduced: "There are three courtyards in the cold house, and a few rooms have been rented out, and some of them will live in their own house. Now there are five rooms that can be rented, and the room in the courtyard facing the street is rented for three taels and five dollars per month; The room in the courtyard is rented four taels per month. Hot water and three meals are provided free of charge, with one meat, one vegetable and one soup for each meal. You can also help take care of donkeys and horses, but you need to feed the animals at your own expense. ”

"Is there only five rooms?" Wang Yuan asked.

The owner smiled and said, "You are fellow villagers, right?" I'm afraid we won't be able to live together. It has only been 20 days since he left his hometown, and the houses on Qingyun Street have been rented out a lot, and there are only a few vacant rooms left in each family. ”

Wang Yuan turned around and asked, "Whoever has a fancy for this house, go and choose it yourself." ”

All the beings said: "If Brother Void should choose first, I can just pick the rest." ”

"Then you're welcome." Wang Yuan directly picked the one in the room. Although he was generous, the province still had to be saved, and he could make do with Zhou Chong and live in a room.

The remaining four rooms were rented by Yue Zhen, Tian Qiu, Zou Mu, and Zou Mu's scholar - Yue Zhen's scholar was sick and did not come to Guizhou, and Tian Qiu's scholar was directly cut down by bandits.

Just when Zhou Chong entered the house with his luggage, a student came out of the next room, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Luojiang, the word Kong Yin, a person from Songmeng Prefecture." ”

This guy seems to be a rich man, and Songmeng Prefecture is the future Songming County, which is very close to Kunming. actually came to the Gongyuan 20 days in advance, and rented a house on Qingyun Street, which was purely a panic due to too much money.

Wang Yuan replied: "Wang Yuan, if the words are empty, people from Guiyang." ”

Wang Yuan's name as a prodigy has obviously not yet reached Kunming. Luo Jiang just said out of politeness: "It turned out to be a friend of Wang, I don't know what Your Excellency has cured?" ”

"The Book of Rites," Wang Yuan asked, "what about Friend Luo?" ”

Luo Jiang smiled: "Spring and Autumn." ”

Okay, you're awesome, Wang Yuan doesn't want to talk anymore.

Luo Jiang saw that Wang Yuan had a sword and bow on his body, and said curiously: "Can the scholars of Guizhou be good at martial arts?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "I had to practice martial arts to defend myself after three or four thousand miles to go to the exam. ”

Zhou Chong happened to come out to carry things, and suddenly showed off: "The second brother killed a lot of bandits on the road, and also shot the bandit leader on the sea capture warrant, and received a reward of one hundred taels of silver!" ”

Well, you're even more awesome, it's Luo Jiang's turn and he doesn't want to speak.
