The first batch of merchant ships that followed Zhao Kuangbiao to the sea had already returned to Palembang.

Not only did they earn money for grain freight, but they also took spices, porcelain, tea, and other goods, which they sold to the Dutch in Ceylon. On the return voyage, it was loaded with a load from India (

and Ceylon) brought back cotton, ivory, precious stones, and other goods.

And the maritime merchants of Guangdong went to Palembang to trade, bringing these Indian goods back to the mainland, and by the way, bringing back Zhao Kuangbiao's immigration policy.

Zhao Kuangbiao's old classmate Fang Zixin was sent back to Guangzhou to take in immigrants. He not only spread the news along the coast, but also spread the immigration policy to Jiangxi through inland freight merchants

Inside.

The first batch of large immigrants came from the Bapai Yao region, and Zhao Kuangbiao's cousin brought more than 600 people, of which more than eighty percent were Yao people who were proficient in Chinese.

Immediately afterwards, the Hakka people in the southern Ganshan area heard from the businessmen who came to purchase tobacco that they could get paddy fields when they went to India, and they could also receive a settlement fee before going to sea. A few

The Hakka people in the mountains were moved, and nearly 100 people went to Fang Zixin in Guangzhou to report.

Further north, the people of Ji'an Province got the news.

This is the place of Zhao Han's Longxing, and it is also the place where the whole Jiangxi has the largest population, the most tense land, and the most involuted imperial examination! Jen 4

Ji'an is no less prosperous than Nanchang Fu. Especially with the boom of maritime trade, a large number of Jiangxi commodities have been transported down the Gan River from Ji'an Province to the coastal ports through Guangdong

mouth, it is more prosperous here than in the Ming Dynasty.

Within half a year, 200 people went south one after another to Guangzhou to find a new way to sign up for the sea.

Of the 200 Ji'an immigrants, more than 95 have graduated from primary school, and more than 60 belong to middle school graduates. Their willingness to go to India is still secondary, that is, to be officials!

The competition here is too fierce.

In the Ming Dynasty of this time and space, there were more than 80 champions in total, of which 12 champions came from Ji'an. Especially in the 80 years from Jianwen to Chenghua, the champion from Ji'an Mansion directly accounted for it

Third. In the second year of Jianwen, the scholar of Ji'an Mansion was the champion, Tanhua and Bangyan. Zhu Di took the throne, the first imperial examination, and Ji'an Shizi was in the top seven. [ 11]

Jishui County in Ji'an Prefecture, within ten miles, five champions.

Before the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty, Ji'an Prefecture was the first to engage in compulsory education. Thanks to the excellent tradition of imperial examinations, the poor people in the mountains here also send their children to study when they smash pots and sell iron

The primary school dropout rate is the lowest in the country, and most of the young people on the street have obtained a primary school diploma.

However, the number of publicly-funded students in middle schools is limited, and those who can study in publicly-funded middle schools are all scholars who have fought their way out of the army. There are countless self-financed students in middle schools, and there are even dock coolies

, eat bran vegetables for children to go to secondary school at their own expense. Jen 4]

The number of places for government-funded students is also limited, and the tuition fees for self-financed students are frighteningly high.

As a result, a large number of middle school graduates emerge in Ji'an Province every year, and after all, there are only a few who can be admitted to the clerkship, and the rest can only find jobs on their own.

Hearing that the King of Jin founded the country in India, scholars went to become officials, and the group of scholars in Ji'an Province quickly became a sensation. Jen 6]

If it weren't for the fact that India was too far away, I am afraid that more than 200 people would have signed up to go to sea. Even if the destination is changed to Nanyang, there are probably thousands of applicants, and the vast majority of them are scared off by the distant sea route

Heartbeater.

In the past, Zhao Kuangbiao has no shortage of officials for the time being, all of them are treasures!

Waiting for these two hundred Ji'an scholars, they successfully arrived in India and settled down. Some of them would write letters and send money home, and some would simply take their families with them, and after a few years, they would demonstrate the results

It should be done, and there will be more readers willing to go to sea.

If you go, you can become an official, be assigned to paddy fields that are two crops a year, and you can also have a group of wives and concubines and slaves everywhere. This kind of information spreads, and it is like a paradise for scholars who are unable to get into the civil service and are not satisfied with working in a trading company.

Perhaps in a few years, with the addition of a large number of scholars, Zhao Kuangbiao will be able to completely rule Kanmei City. At that time, Taiwu City and Kanmei City will be the center, and at the same time, they will be in the territory of the two counties

Colonization will inevitably double the rate of expansion.

Zhao Kuangbiao has obtained a high-quality population, and Ji'an Province has alleviated the contradiction between people and land and the employment pressure of scholars. Win-win! Jen 9

Maybe someone will take the whole family after emigrating.

For example, his father is a dock coolie, his mother is a housewife who does odd jobs to support the family, and there are a lot of brothers and sisters in the family. Their children are in the Jin Kingdom to be officials and divide fields, and they must be

The whole family immigrated. Parents enjoy happiness in the village community, old ladies and old ladies, and they are served by Sudras and untouchable slaves. The brothers may not have a high level of education, but they are good at managing tenants

If it is more than enough, there is no need for soldiers to manage the village community, just choose a prestigious Han village head.

In a few decades, this kind of low-level family in Ji'an Province will be able to become a local clan in India.

The only one who is really distressed is Li Quan, this guy's American immigration plan ,- - difficult to get started. In the past, ordinary people immigrated to Nanyang, and now there is an Indian choice, no

Who wants to go to the Americas to open up?

{13 ]

Li Quan could only rely on high profits to attract more maritime merchants to do business in the Americas. relied on high wages to attract people to be his crew. As for immigration, it depends on the imperial court, Shi

A few felons were exiled.

Today's Datong China has ushered in a real population explosion period.

Many children born in the new dynasty are able to make soy sauce. Social stability, abundant food and clothing, hard work, school-age children crowded schools. Jen 3]

Three years of compulsory education have long been unattainable.

Not only are there no free lunches, but there are also book fees, and even some states and counties have begun to collect miscellaneous fees. The aim is to reduce the number of students enrolled, otherwise there would be not enough classrooms.

The imperial court turned a blind eye to this.

However, the imperial court repeatedly emphasized that no book fees should be forcibly collected, and schoolchildren could bring their own books.

Local officials also have some conscience, and children who cannot afford to pay tuition and fees can stand outside the classroom and have school status. Once you find an auditor with excellent grades

, will definitely waive all fees, put them in the classroom to listen to the lectures, so that these poor problem solvers can study with peace of mind.

Jen 6

Zhao Han's compulsory education policy has entered an embarrassing state like this. As the population continues to grow, the situation will be even worse in the future, with children who have not been to elementary school for a day, the number of children

will become more and more numerous. Jen 6]

Again, the backward productive forces of an agrarian society simply cannot support an advanced education system. 1 8

The second prince, Zhao Kuangbiao, has made a lot of success in India, and the third prince Zhao Kuangbiao also graduated from university. Jen 4

Zhao Kuangfang has the same mother as the prince, both born to Fei Rulan. Jen 5]

Moreover, Zhao Kuangfang's academic performance is very good, his ability to do questions exceeds that of his two elder brothers, and he has obtained a college diploma completely by strength. Next, he can even take the exam and say no

You will definitely be able to become an official as a jinshi - provided that you give up your title.

By the way, the second prince was named the king of Jin, and the third prince was named the king of Chu. 10

Zhao Kuangfang, the king of Chu, is obviously not stupid, is it not appropriate for a good prince to be a petty official when he is released? { 12]

Of course, in order to prove himself, he decided to take this year's entrance examination. And I greeted my father in advance, and I only took the exam and didn't become an official, so when I was admitted to the Ministry of Rites,

Admit one more place, so as not to cause a certain scholar to fall off the list because of yourself. 6

Rite Tribute Temple.

After ten days of grading, this year's list of tributes was finally released.

The Ministry of Rites is only responsible for organizing the examination and is not allowed to participate in the invigilation and grading. The king of the Ministry of Rites was in a hurry to inquire about the situation:

"Has the King of Chu been admitted?"

The person who presided over the marking of the paper was the right capital of the Inspectorate, Yushi, who replied with a smile: "The King of Chu was admitted, and he was among the best, and he took the first-one hundred and forty-second place in the exam. In addition, it came out this year

The female priest is Zou Huaiyu from Jishui County. Jen 5

Wang Tiaoding said with emotion: "The Zou family is a Jishui family, although the main sect was raided by His Majesty, I didn't expect the side branch to be a female jinshi again."

The first female jinshi of the Datong New Dynasty, It is normal for her to come from Jishui County, but she comes from a big family that has been raided, which is a little difficult to get along with Zhao Han. Of course, Emperor Zhao was generous-minded,

Won't embarrass a little girl. Jen 8

Outside the Gongyuan, the list of Gongshi is posted.

Zhao Kuangyu and Zou Huaiyu were particularly conspicuous, because when the Ministry of Rites made the list, they indicated their identities with red pens.

Behind Zhao Kuangfang's name, a red circle is drawn with the word "King of Chu". After Zou Huaiyu's name, a red circle was drawn and the word "female" was written.

The list was posted, and the scene was shocked.

Zou Huaiyu was wearing a Confucian shirt, with a long sword straddled at his waist, and looked at his name with a smile on his head. She was not only admitted to the Gongshi, but also ranked ninth on the tribute list, one hundred more than the King of Chu

There are many more platoons.

1]

"There's a female tribute?"

"Who is the female prime minister? Can you tell us about it?"

"Dare to ask where this woman was in the same year? Contemptible people want to ask for advice or two. "VII 6

The voices came and went, all inquiring about the news of the female tribute.

When Zou Huaiyu graduated from middle school, he was admitted to Jinling University as a government-funded student. But her family was not worried about her daughter leaving, so she stayed at Nanchang University to study, so she returned in Nanjing

It's really not famous. [ 3]

Candidates from Nanchang University naturally recognized Zou Huaiyu and came over to congratulate him.

When the others saw it, they shouted: "The female priest is here, the female tribute priest is here!"

Not only the candidates, but even the people who watched the excitement gathered around, wanting to see with their own eyes what the first female sergeant of this dynasty was like.

Zou Huaiyu's appearance is not outstanding, not very beautiful, and not ugly, it is ordinary. But she stood there in a heroic posture with a long sword hanging from her waist, and again

With the aura of a female jinshi, she looks so dazzling at the moment. l 4

"What a talented girl, with extraordinary appearance."

"Dare to ask the female prime minister if she has ever been married, although my son is not on the list this year, he can continue to take the imperial examination, even if he fails the imperial examination, he can be a state government official. There are more than 10 trading companies in my house, all over the place

In the northern and southern provinces, if the female prime minister is willing to marry, she can be an official without worrying about money in the future. ”[ 2]

"This woman is the same year, several of us have been admitted, and we plan to go to Xuanwu Lake to hold a cultural meeting to celebrate, can we participate in it with a face?"

Faced with the messy inquiry, Zou Huaiyu said: "Although the contemptible people have not married, they have already had a marriage contract, and they will go home to complete the marriage after the palace test." He also said, "The contemptible people have to go back to the inn to prepare for the palace examination, and they will not participate in the entertainment, and they will live up to your kindness in the same year."
