Chapter 405: Wang Yunian's New Life
The news of Nanyang will be transmitted back to the Ming Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info President Yang Chong, immediately announced the whole country, a three-day holiday. At the same time, immigrants before the promulgation of the immigration law, that is, before September last year, will be given a certain amount of extra points in the nationality test. In addition, some prisoners were pardoned and spared.
According to the regulations, as long as the two exams of language and customs reach 50 points, you can automatically obtain the most basic Ming nationality. This made many immigrants who got the news overjoyed. Like Wang Yunian's family, they were so happy that tears were about to fall out.
In fact, with the identity of Wang Yunian ago, their family has no need to worry about nationality at all. But since the first half of the year, after the case of the 'Wang family' occurred, all the relatives of the Wang family within eight generations have been implicated.
Even if he is not on good terms with the head of the Wang family, it is difficult to avoid the disaster of the pond fish. Not only was he lost the head of the Intelligence Department, but he was almost exiled to the three major provinces of Andong, Annam, and Annbei.
You know, in the folk. The three major overseas provinces in the north, south and east are known as the most wild provinces. Among them, Anbei Province is the worst. The cannibals there have not stopped until now. If you are not careful, you are likely to be caught and eaten. In addition, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur frequently, and it is known as the land of gods and forsaken people.
In addition to prisoners who have committed crimes, as well as new immigrants who have been forcibly assigned by the authorities. Others would rather go to Xinhua Province, a hot miasma, than stay there.
Slightly next to Andong province. Although there is no threat of cannibals, the sea area of the three Pearl Islands is too vast. The islands are very far apart. If you move there, you won't be able to see anyone else for three or five months.
If you have a headache and brain fever, you can basically just resign yourself to fate. Therefore, the natural enemies to face are even more unpredictable days.
Finally, there is Annam. The climate is mild and rainfall is abundant. Wheat that is planted is very easy to survive. It's a pity that it's sparsely populated and full of wild jungles. It is extremely difficult to get something from the outside world.
In normal times, in addition to the official merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, some supplies will be transported regularly. There are basically no private merchant ships, and they will go to Annam Province to buy.
Therefore, until now, Andong province has remained in an undeveloped and pristine state.
Wang Yunian's family is also lucky to be able to avoid these three overseas provinces with extremely poor conditions. But the place left behind is Xinhua Province, which is the most backward in the mainland. And due to the cancellation of nationality, their family lived a very poor and depressed life.
At present, Wang Yu Nian is in the field, working hard to grow sugar cane. Although the sky was overcast and it was raining lightly, it was as if he didn't realize it. Shirtless and bent over. With both hands, he only cares about planting sugarcane seedlings in the soil.
I don't blame him for working so hard! Since I lost my errand and moved here. The whole family of seven was counting on this little crop in the field. Fortunately, Daming has always had a large territory and a lot of land. Naturally, each person gets a lot of land.
And because of Xinhua Province, there have never been many people. The local government gives each household one to two percent more land than the higher authorities instructed. Like his family, the male has him and his father, and each of them has 20 acres of paddy fields and 40 acres of woodland. The woman had his wife and his mother, and each of them had twenty acres of paddy fields and thirty acres of woodland. Three children under the age of 16 and minors each have 10 acres of paddy fields and 10 acres of woodland.
This adds up to 110 acres of paddy fields and 170 acres of woodland. If it is placed in the Qing Kingdom, there is so much land, their family will not worry about food and clothing, and they can wake up with a smile when they dream. But this is the Ming Dynasty, basically every family has a lot of fields. And because the cultivated area is too extensive, it is difficult for a family to finish cultivating the land.
In addition, in many places, it is land that has never been cultivated. Therefore, when you are a newcomer, you must open up the wasteland. This is a physical work, Wang Yunian's family went into battle, and it took 23 days of work to reclaim more than 10 acres of paddy fields.
As for the woodland, it is left to the grass.
Fortunately, the local government is reasonable. Although so many fields were allocated, they were not allowed to plant crops immediately. Instead, a year was set aside for them to slowly open up the wasteland. And in their spare time, the local government and the garrison army will also go to the countryside to help people open up wasteland.
However, Wang Yunian has only been here for less than three months, and the allocated fields are relatively remote. So this kind of good thing to help open up the wasteland has never been encountered once.
He didn't care about that. Anyway, if he can stay in Daming and live with his family, he will be satisfied. Especially after experiencing exile, he saw a lot of things.
Therefore, he cherishes the current life.
This state of mind makes him busy and motivated.
It was at this time that a half-sized boy ran from afar on the ridge. Wearing a loose vest, he yelled, "Daddy! Dad! My mother called you home for dinner! ”。 According to the normative title formulated by the Ming Dynasty, children should call their parents 'Dad, Abba, Grandma, Mom' and the like.
But many habits are not so easy to break. And the Ming Dynasty only has strict requirements for ethnic groups other than Chinese. Therefore, within the Chinese, it has not been thoroughly implemented.
Wang Yunian's home still follows the old name.
Hearing a familiar voice, he immediately raised his head. Grinning and responding loudly, "Good, good!" When I finished planting the land, I went home and ate. ”。 As he spoke, he continued to plant sugar cane.
But soon, there was a short figure beside him. He also learned his movements and planted sugar cane in the field. Wang Yunian's heart immediately warmed, but on his face, he still pretended to be serious: "What are you doing here?" Don't get your hands dirty.
Go back to writing quickly, and reading will be of great use. ”。 Since the implementation of the civil servant system in the Ming Dynasty, academic qualifications have become the first threshold. And in real life, as long as you can read and write, the salary level is higher than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, this makes the Ming society generally attach importance to education.
In addition, the Ming official has also made great efforts to educate. In addition to the implementation of a six-year compulsory education system, but also to some students with outstanding grades, scholarships are also issued. Like the three children of Wang Yunian's family, except for the youngest who is only three years old, he cannot meet the admission requirements. The other two eight- and nine-year-olds are in third and fourth grades, respectively.
Due to the previous education in Johor Bahru, he received a better education. Therefore, after moving to Xinhua Province, the results of the two children are very gratifying. And because of the changes in the family, the two children are also very hardworking and serious.
Like that, the scholarship basically didn't fall behind. Although each person, a semester is only fifty Chinese dollars. But adding up, there are also a hundred.
When the family first moved in, the family property was basically confiscated. If it weren't for their meagre savings and this pitiful scholarship, they wouldn't have been able to make it up.
Every time he thought of this, Wang Yunian was very emotional and guilty.
After all, this scholarship is for children. It's a pity that he, as a parent, still has to use his children's money to subsidize the family. Therefore, he usually does not let children go to the ground.
In this way, it will ease the guilt in his heart.
