Chapter 764: Wenhui Academy

@@@@@

Lingnan refers to the south of Wuling, the Great Song Dynasty divided Lingnan into Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, from which the names of Guangdong and Guangxi were derived, and they have been useless until later generations.

Since the winter of the previous year, the West India Trading Company has invested more than 20 million guan in Quang Nam to support the mulberry sericulture in Quang Nam.

The reason why Yang Yi dared to invest so much was because he knew that in later generations, Guangxi's silkworm cocoon production ranked first among all provinces in the country. In addition, Guangxi has many mountains and few fields, which is also very suitable for the development of mulberry sericulture.

The West Indian Ocean Trading Company established large-scale silk reeling factories and silk weaving factories in Guizhou, Liuzhou, Pennsylvania, Guizhou, Yongzhou, Yizhou, and Qinzhou, as well as supporting workshops such as cocoon baking and dyeing workshops.

The varieties of silk produced are also varied, including silk, satin, yarn, Luo, brocade, silk, wool, silk, silk, silk, etc., as many as a dozen kinds, among which the production of Song brocade, silk and gold fabrics are particularly respected.

The textile mills employ locals, more of whom are Dali, Annam, and a lot of free skills from Nanyang. Together, the textile factories in the seven states employ more than 60,000 people.

In addition, there are 30,000 young men scattered in various parts of the mulberry fields in charge of mulberry planting, and although many of the laborers are free laborers obtained by Tanaka Heishichiro and his gang, it is impossible to improve the efficiency of labor by purely using slavery.

Therefore, in addition to adopting severe and high-pressure measures, the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company also implemented various incentives among these people, and those who performed well would be much better off and even receive a certain salary;

The highest reward is to change to the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty. Like other people of the Great Song Dynasty, they obtained personal reasons. Those who are willing to continue to be employed in the mulberry garden can also get the same salary as the people of the Great Song Dynasty. In short, trading companies do everything they can to stimulate the motivation of these people to work.

These people have tattoos on their faces, including their names, and which mulberry garden they belong to, and whoever dares to escape, the tattoos on their faces will leave you with nowhere to stay, and once you are caught, the end will be miserable. Arguably. These people have no more to think of than to behave well and fight for better treatment.

In addition, Guangnan is booming, industry and commerce are rising, it is easy to find employment opportunities, and Dali is in the midst of a domestic war, under the remote control of the Great Song Dynasty, Duan and Gao have been fighting for more than two years without deciding the winner. As a result, countless victims of the disaster in Dali have no means of livelihood, and a large number of people have poured into Guangxi and Guangdong, which has also provided very favorable conditions for the development of the entire Guangnan.

Yang Yi traveled all the way south from Guizhou. On both sides of the wide straight road, it is no longer like when the southern expedition was crossed, and there are no people to see for dozens of miles. The people of Dali poured into Guangxi, and the Great Song Dynasty welcomed it. The government did its best to provide them with life-saving food and production tools;

Nowadays, the people on both sides of the straight road are much denser than before. From time to time, you can see new villages, and there are wine flags displayed on the roadside from time to time.

Sitting in a comfortable carriage, Qing Niang looked at the unique and beautiful mountains and rivers of Guangxi, and said with sincere emotion: "A few years ago, Lingnan was still regarded by everyone as a miasma of the road, and the demotion to Lingnan was almost no different from the death penalty, but who would have thought that Lingnan actually contained such strange mountains and rivers, such a flat straight road, even the Central Plains were not as good as all parts of the country. If you don't come here, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

Yang Yi shook a feather fan, as if it was Jiangdong Zhou Lang, and laughed loudly: "Qing Niang, you are now famous all over the world, and the world is competing for your lyrics, since you like Lingnan, you can send a few more masterpieces back to the Central Plains, and then the people who are looking for beauty and victory are not coming, which can be regarded as making some contributions to the people of Lingnan!" ”

Qing Niang used a small fan to half-cover her pretty face, and said with a smile in her bright eyes: "Brother Yang came to make fun of people again, you are famous all over the world, and if you want to compose poems, you have to do it first." ”

"Oh, that's good, let's have a poetry competition."

Before Yang Yi finished speaking, Princess Qin and Adella rushed to say: "If we want to compete between you and Qing Niang, we can't do it, well, let's judge." ”

Yang Yi picked Adella's chin with that feather fan, and said strangely: "Adella, do you also want to judge?" ”

Adella was inexplicably a little weak, as her heart beat faster, the proud breasts rose and fell, coupled with the intoxicating body fragrance, it was really moving.

"Then I won't judge, just listen." Adella was picked by her chin, and when she saw his burning gaze again, she was suddenly timid.

Yang Yi teased the beauty, was in a better mood, and laughed: "Qing Niang, let's start now." ”

Looking at his smug appearance, Qing Niang couldn't help but glance at him playfully, and hummed, "Brother Yang will come first." ”

"What's so hard about this, listen up! The spring is warm and prosperous, and the scenery is thousands, which is poetic and picturesque from nature. The glow reflects the waves of the water, and the waterfall sprinkles beads and purple smoke. The green bamboo weeping poplar cries and the birds are happy, and the old village of the new village laughs loudly. Tao Qian can live in Taoyuan, and a touch of red clouds fall all over the field. ”

Qing Niang muttered his poem again, and then not to be outdone, she chanted: "The boat crosses the embankment and opens in a different land, and the peak returns to the river to win Penglai." The oasis dawn and mist blow people's faces, and the bamboo egrets sweep the water. ”

Zhao Qian and Adella obviously stood on the side of Qing Niang, as soon as Qing Niang finished chanting the poem, the two of them immediately applauded, and there were two listeners in the car.

That's it, even Xiaobai on the side of the car screamed out, as if he was cheering for Qing Niang, which made Mrs. Yang lose face.

"Xiaobai, what's your name?" Mrs. Yang stretched out the window of the car and pointed at Xiaobai, who whined a few times and slipped into the woods on the side of the road.

Well, I went to an accomplice, Mrs. Yang finally felt better, he sat back and coughed lightly twice and said: "Mine is the Seven Laws, Qing Niang is a quatrain, I have a lot of words, count me as winning." ”

Qing Niang immediately disagreed: "Who is bad and who is good, how many words are there?" Sister Zhao and Adella both said that the people were good, and this time they won, hehe"

Qing Niang said that in the end, she laughed proudly, and Zhao Qian and Adele also laughed coquettishly.

Mrs. Yang didn't give up, and chanted again: "Who will release the divine horse into Sishan?" Spit fog and swallow clouds. Thousands of miles of wind and clouds reward ambition. A river of smoke and rain spends the Chinese year. He once led the fierce generals to conquer the north and south, and also stationed the heavenly soldiers in the Han Pass. Today is a new sun and moon. Xiao Xiaoyan sent a thousand sails. ”

After Mrs. Yang finished chanting the poem, the feather fan in his hand was fanned up and down. put on the posture of Jiangdong Zhoulang, but no one applauded.

Qing Niang smiled before speaking, and threw herself into the arms of the eldest princess of Qin State, her fragrant shoulders shrugged, her willow waist trembled slightly, and she looked overjoyed.

Adella noticed the change in Mrs. Yang's expression, afraid that she would hurt the pond fish, so she hurriedly urged: "Qing Niang, it's your turn." Recite it quickly. ”

Qing Niang couldn't help laughing, sat up straight and said slowly: "The flat boat is close to the West Mountain at night, and the three or five people are dotted with stars. The shadows of the trees are slanting and the river is quiet, and the fishing lanterns are faintly light in the evening. The map of the cliff is difficult to draw, and the shadow of the cold pond is horizontal. Yuanpu passed the word Nai, and the peak silver and jade were cleared. ”

"Good poetry! She is really worthy of being the first talented woman in the world, this poem is ethereal and far-reaching, detailed and vivid, and makes people read it and leave a fragrance on their lips and teeth."

This time, Adella and Zhao Qian not only cheered for Qingniang in unison. also added some comments, which was completely opposite to the cold reception that Mrs. Yang had just encountered, which made Mrs. Yang sigh that it was not at the right time.

"Don't play, don't play. The three of you are in a mess, secretly colluding with each other, and hooking up with each other. It's simply the greatest misfortune of my Yang Sect, and it deserves to be spurned by all generations."

Mrs. Yang was indignant. As a result, he has not yet condemned the dark box operation of some people, and the three incense bodies have been applied. Six jade arms had already rushed towards him together, some beating, some twisting, this time Mrs. Yang was not only very injured mentally, but also physically scarred, miserable.

Of course, Mrs. Yang also secretly made a lot of benefits, this willow waist is thin, that fragrant palace is abundant, this pepper milk is quite hissive, Mrs. Yang is confused, and he can't tell whose it is, and whose it is, so he has to slowly investigate and collect evidence in the future.

Three days later, the group arrived in Liuzhou, Qing Niang couldn't wait to go to the tomb of Liu Zongyuan, Liu Zongyuan was included in the Tang and Song Dynasty Eight Families, was degraded to Liuzhou for several years, during which he left a lot of writings and poems.

On November 8 of the 14th year of Yuanhe (819 AD), Liu Zongyuan died of illness in Liuzhou. In accordance with his will, the people parked his corpse on the edge of the Luo Pond, which he loved during his lifetime.

He was an honest official, and after his death, orphans and widows lived a difficult life, and the funeral expenses were still raised with the help of his living friends. His corpse was transported back to Wannian County, Chang'an. The people of Liuzhou built his tomb at the original Lingshu, and built the Luochi Temple next to Luochi to commemorate him.

In the Song Dynasty, the imperial court posthumously crowned Liu Zongyuan as the Marquis of Wenhui. Qing Niang respectfully sacrificed three animals, sprinkled wine and worshipped, and left a poem to mourn the former sages:

There is no return to the southern edge of the sun, and the soul and the white clouds fly together.

The ancient articles leave ink rhyme, and the peach has no owner for thousands of years.

Yang Yi also went, but he had a little utilitarian heart, like Liu Zongyuan, everyone in the literary world, publicized it more, let people hang on more, it was very beneficial to the local style of study, and at the same time, it could also imperceptibly reduce people's fear of Lingnan.

In order to make the style of literature flourish, Shiyi donated 100,000 yuan at a time to build a academy in Liuzhou, and named it 'Wenhui College'. At the same time, let the Guangxi Economic Strategy Envoy be the master, assign 2,000 acres of fertile land to the academy as a school field, and let Huang Tingjian, a Guangxi scholar and politician, concurrently serve as the head of Wenhui Academy.

Let the academy expand the scope of enrollment and select children from good families to study, it doesn't matter if the foundation is poor, first increase the number of students, as long as you teach hard, Yang Yi believes that sooner or later it will be able to transform from quantitative change to qualitative change.

With an investment of 100,000 yuan, another 2,000 acres of fertile land as the academy's assets, and Huang Tingjian, a master of the literary world, Yang Yi believes that Wenhui Academy will become a first-class academy in the Great Song Dynasty sooner or later.

After a few days of busy work in Liuzhou, Yang Yi finally waited for a person, Liu Zheng from the southwest group of the staff pavilion.
