The children of Guizhou Mu Kui and Tumu, including the orphans of Ming soldiers like Fang Zeyu, as long as they are of the right age, must be selected to study in Nanjing.

In Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangxi, those who are willing to submit to the Tusi, in addition to giving monopoly business, many can also get petty officials such as town mayors. Their children have all arrived in Nanjing, and Jinling University has a special basic course class.

"If you don't let you bring your entourage, why can't you bring your own horse?" Montai rubbed his ankles and complained.

Extravagant Qi held his skin to drink water, and sneered: "Yi family man, can't you walk on the mountain road?" ”

Meng Tai sighed: "I can't even speak Chinese, even if I go to Nanjing, I will definitely not be able to learn to read." After a period of annoyance, Meng Tai pointed to Lu Tianxiang, who was resting under the tree, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "That woman is so beautiful, do you know which family?" ”

Hao Qi said: "The Lu family." ”

At this time, the surnames of the Yi nationality basically have historical inheritance.

The surname Meng may be a descendant of the Nanzhao royal family.

Those with the surname Wumeng may be descendants of King Wumeng of the Song Dynasty.

Even Lu Tianxiang, the daughter of a small earth, her ancestors used to be arrogant, and the surname "Lu" was given by Zhu Yuanzhang. Most of the remaining surnames in the Yi nationality were changed after the migration of the Lu surname.

The Yi civilians, in the late Ming Dynasty, generally only had a first name but no surname.

It is called Ah Zhu, which means fox; The one called Ah Hai means rat; It's called Kejak, which means puppy...... There is also a name like Ergu, which means craftsman, and is obviously taller than a cat or a puppy.

This time, Zhao Han ordered that when commoners and slaves settle down, they must give themselves a surname.

So there was a ridiculous picture -

Officer: Do you have a Chinese name?

People: No.

Officer: Take one.

People: No.

Officer: What's your name?

People: Ah Zhang (crow).

Officer: What about the last name?

People: No.

Officer: Take one.

People: What is your surname, sir?

Official: Surname Wang.

People: Then my surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Azhang (Wang Crow).

Due to the language barrier, there is also an interpreter throughout the process.

Basically, what is the surname of the officials who registered the household registration, and what is the surname of those Yi civilians, which led to the flowering of Zhang Wang Li Zhao everywhere in Shuixi.

"It's time to go!" The Han official who led the team shouted.

Meng Tai patted his ass and stood up, quickened his pace, and ran to Lu Tianxiang's side to talk: "I'm Meng Tai from Muxi Mountain, what's your name?" ”

"Lu Tianxiang." The girl strode forward.

Meng Tai said: "We also have the surname Lu over there. Don't you Ada have a son? On this trip to Nanjing, you are the only woman. ”

Lu Tianxiang said: "My two elder brothers are over sixteen years old. ”

Meng Tai said: "Those Han officials said that those who went to Nanjing to study this time can return to Shuixi to be officials in the future. If your brother doesn't go, will you let you go back to Shuixi to be an official? ”

Lu Tianxiang held her head high: "I want to be a female general." ”

Montei glanced at the bow and arrow on her back: "Do you know how to shoot arrows?" ”

Lu Tianxiang asked rhetorically: "Mu Kui of Huajiao Zexi, this time his head was cut off. Do you know? ”

"I know, his whole family was killed by Han soldiers." Monte nodded.

Lu Tianxiang said proudly: "An Long was caught by me. ”

Meng Tai was shocked and exclaimed sincerely: "You are really amazing! ”

Another half a day, to the Dragon Field Station.

Stop and rest and continue tomorrow.

The officials who led the team made a gesture towards the dragon field, and they were still making a disciple salute.

Fang Zeyu asked, "Who is Mr. worshipping?" ”

The official replied, "This is the place of enlightenment in Yangming." ”

"Who is Yang Minggong?" Fang Zeyu's whole family was killed, at a young age, he only studied for two years, and he had never heard of Wang Yangming's name.

The official didn't explain, but said, "You'll know when you go to Nanjing to study." ”

In fact, there is no wife in the wife's cake, and Longchang Wudao is not in Longchangyi, but on Longgang Mountain, where the Miao people live nearby.

The next day, we resumed and soon arrived in Guiyang.

"The walls here are so high, how can you attack them in a war?" Montei was shocked inexplicably.

Hao Qi also said: "Yes, it's so high." ”

These teenagers have no knowledge, they feel very high when they see Shuixi City, and they are refreshed when they see Guiyang City.

They were brought into the city, and they were surprised to see anything.

Moreover, there are a lot of Han people here, countless times more than those in Shuixi - the population inside and outside Guiyang City, Han people already account for seventy or eighty percent.

The boys and girls were arranged in the Xingui County Ya, where a group of teenagers were already waiting, but they came from the northeast of Guizhou. After the two groups of people converged, the team grew to more than 50 people, and then went all the way east along the post road, and plunged into the mountains of western Hunan to take a boat.

Go to Chenzhou Mansion City (Yuanling), the prosperity here is comparable to Guiyang City.

Then take a boat to Changde Mansion, and Fucheng once again looked at the young people in Guizhou as stupid.

Riding a boat across Dongting Lake, they also felt fresh, they didn't expect such a big lake in the world.

Immediately, passing by the capital city of Yuezhou.

If the goods of the whole Hunan want to enter the Yangtze River by water, they must pass through this place.

"Good...... That's a lot of people...... There are a lot of ships ......" Lu Tianxiang was dumbfounded, she didn't enter the city at all, she only saw the appearance of the port and the wharf.

Fang Zeyu grew up in Shuixi since he was a child, and it was the first time he had seen such prosperity. But at the same time, he said to those Yi teenagers in a proud tone: "This is the rich land of my Han family, you will return to Shuixi to be an official in the future, if you still want to rebel, just think about what you have seen and heard today." ”

Lu Tianxiang glared at him: "Who wants to rebel?" I want to be the female general of the Datong Army! ”

Fang Zeyu stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, pretending to be full of style: "You are a woman, I won't tell you this." ”

Lu Tianxiang asked, "Do you dare to compete with me in archery?" ”

"I ...... More on that later. Fang Zeyu felt very embarrassed, he hid in the blacksmith's house, and he really hadn't learned archery.

They didn't know that the border of Hunan, which they had crossed, had just experienced a major drought in the province last year. There are eight words in the history books: thousands of miles of red land, and hunger and epidemic.

However, the literati poems describe the great drought in Hunan: "In June, the grass is dry, and the grain millet is a hundred dollars, and if you don't want to obey it, you will close your house." Poor and without money, hesitating and losing his soul, he is about to look at the color of Artemisia Rose. The tillers are exhausted, and the artemisia is dead and does not breed. It is powerless to bring children to the city, and it is unbearable to eat them. The rich don't pity each other, thinking about it for Anke? ”

Last year, the whole province of Hunan was exempted from grain rations, and grain was transferred across provinces to provide relief through work, and some hungry people were relocated to Henan.

The agricultural society is so fragile, Hunan was recovered by the Datong army very early, and the whole province has been under great control for several years, and the peasants in some prefectures and counties can eat three meals a day. However, in the past four years, there have been three years of severe drought in Hunan, which has rapidly depleted the peasants' grain stocks.

Compared with Hunan, which was "thousands of miles of red land and plague-ridden by hunger" in history, Zhao Han can at least proudly say: "Under my rule, no one starved to death in Hunan last year!" ”

This year, the wind and rain in Hunan have finally been smooth, and there is only drought in some areas.

Last year, it was all supported by grain from Sichuan and Hubei, and although there are still marginal areas in Sichuan that have not yet been recovered, grain output has jumped to the first place among all provinces, and only Hunan, which is not drought, can be compared.

In addition, despite the catastrophe in Hunan last year, the water conservancy facilities in the Dongting Lake Plain have finally been improved through work-for-relief, and the official roads in the province that have been in disrepair for a long time have also been leveled. In the aftermath of the pandemic, business has flourished, and this year's food production is higher than ever.

The teenagers of Guizhou passed through the Dongting Lake Plain, and they were all greeted by lush rice fields.

The rice has already begun to tassel, and there will be a bumper harvest in autumn!

After a few days, the ship sailed to Nanjing.

The teenagers' already numb perception was once again awakened by the Nanjing city wall.

Mengtai, who was complaining in the mountains, crossed the pier to the city, looked up at the towering city wall, and knelt down as soon as his knees weakened: "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

The officials took them into the city, and none of these unruly little guys dared to speak.

They felt a deep sense of inferiority, and they were completely like dirt buns entering the city, and when they saw ordinary citizens buying things, they all felt that others seemed to be very tall.

When I arrived at Jinling University, most of the teachers and students in it were wearing Confucian shirts.

But the Confucian shirt has been improved, and young people like to wear belts, and the clothes are very energetic to tie up, not loose like the traditional scholars.

You can also see a few female students, and the ratio of male to female students at Jinling University is about 80:1.

As long as it is a woman, no matter how good or bad it is, it belongs to the existence of the stars and the moon.

Female students also like to wear Confucian shirts, not only tie belts, but also wear small crowns. They dress up as men, and are often called "female sons" and "female princesses", and from the day they enter the school, the threshold of the family has been broken by the matchmaker.

There are many ideological diehards among the people, who often criticize "Hen Si Chen", saying that women should not go to university to study, let alone become officials. But if their son can marry a female college student, one of them will be happy, and he will brag about it wherever he goes.

"What a spirit!"

Lu Tianxiang looked at a female minister walking in front of her, and the more she looked, the more she felt majestic. When I thought that I could wear it like this, I was immediately happy, and the female general or something was left behind.

The crowd was taken to a small four-story building, and the official said, "This is where you live." Tuition and room and board are free of charge, but only for two years. After two years, if you can't pass the exam, you can pay your own money to stay and study, or you can take a boat back to Guizhou! ”

Two years belong to the basic course, which is equivalent to the enlightenment of Han students. If you can speak Chinese and read and write simple articles, you can generally pass the exam.

"Sir, I live here too?" Lu Tianxiang asked suddenly.

The official said, "You live in the women's building, and the room over there is mostly empty." You can live with others or by yourself. ”

Of course, boys are not treated as living alone, and must live in a room for four people.

Hao Qi couldn't help but ask: "Sir, can you not return to Shuixi?" I want to stay in Nanjing, which is much better than Shuixi. ”

The official laughed: "It's okay if you don't go back, as long as you have money, you can buy a house and settle down in Nanjing." ”

Extravagant cheered in his heart, and decided to study well and stay in Nanjing in the future. When the time comes, marry a Han woman and become a Han yourself, preferably as an official in Nanjing.

Fools go back to the country!
