Chapter 1 Which Ming Dynasty is this?
In 1644, Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty clan established the Southern Ming regime in the area south of the Huai River.
After Hongguang and King Lu supervised the country, Emperor Longwu raised troops to the Northern Expedition and adopted the policy of 'Liankou resisting the Qing', and then Zheng Zhilong's subordinates reported to him in time to prevent Zheng Zhilong from surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and put him under house arrest.
Emperor Longwu relied on Zheng Zhilong's abundant financial resources and strength, quickly pacified and integrated the Lu Wang regime, rectified internal affairs and cracked down on party disputes, and took advantage of the great chaos in the rear of the Qing court caused by the anti-Qing struggle in the south of the Yangtze River (shaved) hair, and gradually established an advantage, after more than ten years, in the fourteenth year of Longwu, the Manchus were driven to the outside of the Guan, and the capital was Beijing, and the Qing court was bounded by the Liao River, and held each other for many years.
In the twenty-eighth year of Longwu, Emperor Longwu died, the temple name Shaozong, the name of the temple was matched with the heaven to the Dao Hongyi Su Mu Siwen Lie Wu Minren Guangxiao Xiang Emperor, and the honorific title of Emperor Siwen Emperor.
The only son, Zhu Lincheng, changed the Yuan Shengzhi, to the tenth year of the Shengzhi, under the rule of the two emperors, the policies of opening the sea and banning the land and silver were promulgated one after another, and at the same time, the Wusi Tibetan Xuanwei Division and the Duogansi Xuanwei Division restored the rule of the Tibetan region.
In the same year, the national treasury earned more than 60 million taels of silver, and the world was thriving.

In the fifteenth year of Shengzhi, in Qingyuan County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi, the light in the old blue brick house was dim, and Shi Moxi was pale and prostrate on the bed.
Looking at the four-walled room, Shi Moxi could only use sleep to delay hunger.
"I'm a talented person, and I'm also an intellectual, and I'm on the verge of starvation!" Shi Moxi was helpless.
As a liberal arts student from the 21st century, he woke up and became a talented scholar with the same name and surname in the fifteenth year of the Ming Dynasty.
As an outstanding talent in the study of Ming history, Shi Moxi has never heard of the Ming Dynasty and the era name of Shengzhi, but fortunately, there are still many books at home with the identity of this talent, and after reading it, he understands that history has changed beyond recognition.
The Southern Ming Dynasty was not extinguished, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty retreated to the north of the Liao River to defend it, and now the year should be 1686, which is equivalent to the twenty-five years of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
Shi Moxi doesn't know mathematics, physics and chemistry, so he can't travel all over the world. As a copyist, there is only one Nalan character left to learn from.
But this is all in the future, and now there is not a grain of rice in this poor house except books full of wisdom, and the rats will leave in tears when they enter.
In the past, Shimoxi was relying on the Qingquan Temple to write letters on behalf of the people to earn some money, plus he was excellent in the county, and he could also receive some food every month.
Now that Shimoxi has crossed over, there is only the memory of the past life, and the memory of this life can only be recalled gradually, and the four books and five classics that the original body is familiar with can only be said to know a little bit about one or two, if it weren't for the study of the Ming history in the previous life, I am afraid that I can't even understand the book, so how can I help someone write letters on behalf of me.
And for some reason, it hasn't been sent for three months, and before the crossing, Moxi had no father or mother, and his personality was cowardly, and he was deceived and reprimanded by the officials of the county school and left.
Now it seems that some people in the county school must have been greedy for ink, bullying the original owner of the body for weakness, "No, Lao Tzu wants to get the food back!" ”。
Shi Moxi got up suddenly, but he felt weak and dizzy. "Forget it, I'd better sleep again."
Bang bang, a quick knock on the door came into Shi Moxi's ears, "Moxi, Moxi, you haven't come to your aunt's house for the past few days, and I asked you Uncle Li also said that he hadn't seen you, are you sick?" ”
A sturdy woman in a coarse cloth skirt walked in and saw Shi Moxi lying on the bed. Hurriedly stepped forward to probe Shi Moxi's forehead, and compared the temperature of his forehead.
"I don't have the wind chill, why is the sun shining high, why are you still lying in bed?"
Middle-aged women may be very important in Shi Moxi's memory, and as soon as Shi Moxi thought about it, memories came to his heart.
"Aunt Li, it's not that I don't want to move, it's really uncomfortable to be hungry."
"Hungry? It's repaid, you have yellow muscles and thin muscles, you are originally a scholar, not like your Uncle Li, is it that the county school didn't send you rice, see if I don't smash his broken place! Aunt Li got up and was about to leave.
"Don't! Other! Other! Shi Moxi can understand the fierceness of this butcher's daughter, when Shi Moxi's parents died early, she ignored the obstruction of her in-laws, and had to hold the young Shi Moxi to raise him.
Shi Moxi is also very competitive, with the books left by his deceased father, he passed the college examination at a young age, and obtained the fame of the student and ranked first class to become a student.
Looking at Aunt Li's angry look, Shi Moxi's heart swelled with a little warmth of being cared for, "Aunt Li, don't be angry, I'm fifteen years old this year, and I have a reputation, I'll just solve it." ”
Aunt Li raised her eyes and looked at Shi Moxi's thin arms and legs, "That's it?" You can't let people beat it! ”
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! Aunt Li, I am a scholar, and I don't fight if I am reasonable. Besides, I'm a student, so I don't have to kneel when I see the old man, so how can I be afraid of his little scholar. Shi Moxi straightened his waist and patted his chest, but coughed a few times.
"Okay, Aunt Li believes you, you kid has to say that he has grown up and lived by himself, you rest first, and my aunt will go to get you some food, and then go to the county to learn justice when you are full of food and drink."
Aunt Li's home was only a few streets away from Shimoxi's house, and within a while, Aunt Li hurriedly brought a few coarse dough cakes and a bowl of hot soup.
Looking at Shi Moxi, who was gobbling up, the corners of Aunt Li's eyes were a little moist, "What a hard-working child." ”
"Aunt Li, is Ni Shusen?" Shi Moxi, who kept chewing food, did not forget to ask.
Aunt Li hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, "It's okay, you kid, eat slowly and be careful to choke, and no one will rob you" After speaking, she burst into tears and laughed, and her left hand smoothed the back of Shun Shi Moxi.
After a gust of wind and clouds, Shi Moxi touched his stomach with satisfaction, "Aunt Li, go back first, Uncle Li won't be able to eat dinner when he goes back after a busy day, hiccup!" ”
"I'll digest and get justice, hiccup!"
Shi Moxi estimated the hour, now it is equivalent to about two o'clock in the afternoon, you can go out first to familiarize yourself with the environment, and it has been two days since I came to the capital of the new Ming Dynasty, and I haven't had a good stroll.
Pushing open the door and walking through the bluestone paved alleys, the cries of vendors, the laughter of children, and the chatter of several old men constitute a prosperous folk music.
couldn't help but feel better, and some of the strangeness and tension of the newcomer were washed away.
"What a prosperous scene, presumably this Emperor Shengzhi is also a virtuous monarch."
There are teahouses, taverns, and workshops on both sides of the street, and there are many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides, and pedestrians are also shoulder to shoulder.
Every time Shi Moxi walked by, the pedestrians or traders he met were respectfully called Shi Xiaoxianggong, and Shi Moxi also smiled and returned the salute one by one, and at the same time his heart was dark.
It seems that this kid is quite respected.
In fact, scholars have always been respected, although there are four classes of Shinong, industry and commerce, but now the Jin merchants and Hui merchants have some momentum, the commodity economy has also been well developed, and the status of merchants has also improved a lot.
There are not a few sons and grandsons of businessmen who are officials, and many court officials will also do some business in the name of their relatives.
But after all, it is an authoritarian society, and the status of officials is great, and the status of scholars will not be shaken.
Between thoughts, in the continuous greetings, the main gate of the county school has come into the eyes of Shi Moxi.
