Carlos was placed at Jinling University to attend literacy classes with ethnic minority students. 4

He had only one year to study, and next year he would return to the Americas with the ship, but his wife and children stayed in Nanjing. 1

In order to leave a good impression on the Inca friends, Zhao Han rewarded him many times. Together, they rewarded a house outside the city, 30 silk horses, a luxury carriage, more than 10 pieces of jade jewelry, a number of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and more than 2,000 gold and silver dollars. {7 People are going to make a revolution in the Americas, and they must be hospitable.} 2

The richer the reward given to Carlos by the Datong court, the more he thought about the good of China. Especially with the passage of time, Carlos lived in the Americas for a long time, suffered all kinds of squeaks and repressions, and the China in the memory of 100 million became more and more beautiful. 3 The rubber seeds and saplings brought back by Cheng Jingming have been planted in various overseas territories, but it will take at least five or six years before the rubber can be tapped. ，8

About half a year ago, the king suddenly sent troops to Mon and occupied all the coastal cities in Burma. The king of Meng cried and complained, and the Pingnan Military and Civil Government immediately elected an envoy to ask, and the king of Nalai came up with a bunch of excuses for sending troops, and he was forced to send troops anyway. Of course, Yunluo did not dare to really expand, and withdrew his troops before the rainy season came, and easily grabbed the coastal areas of Myanmar.

Before Zhao Han sent someone to ask for the guilt, Yun Luo sent a lot of tribute.

To put it bluntly, share the spoils!6

When Zhao Han got the stolen goods from King Nalai, his anger decreased slightly, and he decided to deal with it leniently. It is still necessary to go through the process of reprimanding and questioning, and then order Luo to return some goods and people, and then the matter can be revealed to the mud. {4

Of course, Li Quan is greedy for money, but he is happy to see Yunluo's behavior come to fruition.

Hara was surrounded by the vassal states of the Celestial Empire, and expansion was possible. The more the king of this Lai bullied the Mon state, the more the Mon people had to hold on to the calves of the Celestial Empire to facilitate China's political and cultural infiltration of Burma. (2) Even if you have to guard against it, under the reign of King Lai, the strength of that country has increased slightly.

This vegetable king has been a guard for Lu Wen for a few years, and he also retired from Jinling Primary School. Before returning to China and seizing the throne, he relied on military defeat to gain prestige, and then eliminated dissidents and petty powers, and then rectified household registration, cleared acres, built water conservancy and official roads, and actively encouraged the development of industry and commerce. Yunluo is not yet the overlord of Southeast Asia, except for China, who else can beat it. 1

At the same time, the internal contradictions are also small!3

The king did not have two close advisors, one from China and one from Greece. The Chinese were in charge of civil affairs, and the Greeks were in charge of diplomatic and commercial affairs, which caused the weakness of the Luo nobility to be full.

Usually the Prince of Pabiloko, who was in charge of military affairs, was on the same page as the Greeks -- historically, the coup d'état killed the Greeks, and put the seriously ill King Horai under house arrest, forcing Luo to take the road of seclusion and seclusion. 〈1 Li Quan took Yao Luo too seriously, but it was the information from the Western Regions that made me feel happy.

After following the caravan, he went to Kashgar and brought back a solid piece of news. 2

Yaolbas, the prince of Yarkand and the governor of Kashgar, openly supported the religious leaders of the Baishan sect from Central Asia. Later, it was secretly supported, but now it is directly put on the table, and the Baishan faction in Kashgar Prefecture has been killed and expelled. {2 The king of Yarkand, Ashidu Rahakhan, was enraged by his son, but he actually sent an army to suppress it.

Kings and princes, open break!3

The small Xinjiang is now united with eight small forces: one is the prince of Kashgar, the seventh is the king of Aksu region, the eighth is the prince of Turpan, the seventh is Hezhuo in Hami, the seventh is the Heshute department in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the eighth is the Junggar department in the north. 5 The expedition to Mobei in the rear consumed too little grain and grass, and the imperial court now has to be in a hurry for two years.

When the grain and grass are sufficient, the troops can go out of Jiayuguan. 9

And the division is famous, Yumen, Guazhou, Dunhuang...... Those lost territories are in the hands of Hami and Zhuo, and they all need to be recovered, which is China's entrenched territory. ’12

North of San Francisco, by the sea, in the village of Sindeng. 4

No felon was transported, and we were all death row prisoners, even exiled to Bailongjiang and Tibet. Tian Li wrote several letters begging for help, and Emperor Zhao finally threw a group of death row prisoners over. Qi 2 Tian Li is very good to those death row prisoners, and specially matches us with wives, all of whom are men bought from Japan. 1

"The ship is coming!"

"Dangdang, dang!"

Simple big port, no one rings the bell and shouts.

Compared to the pristine state of a few years later, the estuary is not full of farmland.

It has a Mediterranean climate, with rain and cold at the same time, and is very suitable for growing rice. Therefore, rice is planted on the farmland near the river, and corn, adzuki beans, sweet potatoes, and barley are planted a little further away from the river. (1 There were 74 underage women outside the village, and in one case, all of them were felons. 10

Our wife is from a simple source, there are no Nanyang men, no Japanese men, no Indian lands or even men. The eldest child has not yet given birth to a hundred or less, and it is used to pay taxes, and there is a temporary outbreak of war, so I can afford to have a few fewer children. There is usually a lack of entertainment, and before the sky is white, there is only the creation of man. 2

The village chief's name is Carlos, a embezzler, who was elected as the leader by the villagers because of his lowest level of education. 2_

It's very democratic, the small family is all felons, who can bully whom? Lu Wenxiao usually coordinates contradictions and trembles, and corrupt officials are born with a sense of fear in the face of murderers. 〈17

The militia captain is called Zhao Han, who has been a peasant soldier in his hometown for eight years, and when the army recruits people, he is selected, so he goes to sea with his fellow villagers to be sailors. I went home with the money I had saved so hard, only to find that my wife was dead and my wife had given me a green hat. 3 Lu Wen believed that the old lady was killed by the dog girl and the man, and in a fit of rage, he killed seven people, and even the adulterer's son and man were killed by me. 8

"Assemble all of us and go to the dock to move goods!"

When Zhao Han heard the bell, he immediately blew the whistle outside the village and called all the women outside the field back. 1There is no small warehouse outside the village, which is dedicated to storing trade materials.

The surplus grain, jerky, salted fish, etc., could not be stored outside the warehouse, and the village chief was asked to retire and register and sell it to Lu Wen's fleet as supplies. It's all bartering, and the silver is used for birds, and it is also spent when it is pinched out of the hand. "Village Chief Wei, Captain Tian, I'll see you for a long time!" Tian Li smiled and bowed his hand.

Carlos and Zhao Han hurriedly returned the salute.

Carlos asked, "Commander Lee, what new books did you bring with you that time?"

"A dozen new books, enough for him to read quickly," Lu Wen said with a smile, "The craftsmen have invented new mold casting machines and word furnaces, and the imperial court has also promulgated a standard for common font sizes, so that books and newspapers will become cheaper and cheaper today." Carlos sighed: "You are a small celestial court, it is really changing with each passing day, but it is a pity that it is difficult for you and other sinners to return to their old friends." 6

Tian Li said: "He taught barbarians in foreign countries, but he was able to turn America into China." 6

"Commander Li is right." Lu Wenxiao smiled weakly.

Salt, cotton cloth, farm tools, pots and pans, pen and ink, paper, books, newspapers and periodicals...... One by one, items were brought onto the ship in exchange for grain, jerky, salted fish, fresh water, fruits, and vegetables. After the exchange of supplies, the crew went ashore to rest. 3

Villagers gathered around and rushed to grab the newspaper. Outside the village, people over the age of 80 rarely know a few words, and the "Xiaotong Monthly" is our favorite, and we can't know the latest news of the distant motherland. 1

The old newspapers of the past year were all brought by Tian Li, and they were divided up in an instant. These are literate people, and they also gather around silly musicians, and sometimes ask what is written under the newspaper. "Hahaha, the court has won the battle again!" {3

"Which one is it that again?"

"To fight Mobei Mongolia, the imperial court dispatched hundreds of thousands of small troops to fight Mobei and Beihai. Governor Fei Xiaodu and Governor Zhang Xiaodu, Le Shi Yanran, Feng Wolf Juxu, and all the teachers returned to the dynasty to be crowned kings. "1" what? I'll show you slowly!"

Carlos grabbed the newspaper excitedly, buried himself in reading it several times, and said with tears in his eyes: "Chaomai Hantang, Xiaotong Shengshixiang!" As I spoke, I suddenly bowed down to the west, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" 14 When he was first exiled to the Americas, Carlos hated the emperor to death. 4

But as time went by, the mood of thinking about the country fermented, and Carlos felt that everything in China was so beautiful. The emperor is also a good emperor, but he is wrong, and he should embezzle a huge amount of money. (10 In addition to the "Xiaotong Monthly", the big newspapers in the market are also sought after.

We even know a few small football teams in Nanjing, and we also know the popular stars outside Washe and Xifeng. If there is also an illustration of a portrait of a certain star, this newspaper and magazine is absolutely rotten, as if we see the portrait of a star, we are really listening to opera and watching acrobatics in Nanjing. 3 Tian Li asked people to bring a box of books: "That's the latest edition of the Xiaotong Dictionary and university textbooks. ”7

Carlos picked up the little dictionary and was surprised: "One is printed?"

"Printed in large letters." Luvin explained. 2

In the future, there are no eight copies of the "Xiaotong Dictionary" in one set, which is very convenient for students to use.

With the introduction of lead movable type formulations and European inks, larger print sizes became possible. Lu Wen asked people to cast and engrave the lead plate, which was a lead type, but something similar to an engraving, and it took four years to cast and engrave it, and finally the dictionary lead plate was completed. Each lead plate is framed with good wood to prevent the hard and brittle lead plate from being damaged.

Without those lead plates, it was used for retypesetting, and the "Xiaotong Dictionary" was limited in printing until the lead plates were worn and ready to use. From now on, Xiaotong Dictionary can contain all the contents in a single copy, and the less it is printed, the cheaper it will be to share the cost. Carlos picked up the college textbook, which was all a new version in standard font size, which was more beautiful and concise than later.

Carlos stroked the book and said, "Good books, good books, it's time to build a school outside the village." 1

There are less than 100 children in Xindeng Village, and the youngest is not yet seven or eight years old. When it was time to learn Chinese characters, Carlos decided to teach it himself. Tian Li asked, "Is there any change in the taxi in the distance?"

Lu Wenxiao said with a smile: "The natives in the east often fight with the natives in the south, but there are still people who come to provoke you. Yes, last year, no southern natives came quietly and wanted to exchange iron axes from our hands. It should have been the defeat in the battle, and the benefits of the ax were discovered. ”

"Did you exchange it for us?" Tian Li asked.

Carlos shook his head and said, "Yes, we are allies with the natives in the east, and the land outside the village was also bought from us, how can you exchange iron axes for the enemies of your allies?" 1 An ally is not to be sold, but if the ally is too close, it can still be sold for the time being, otherwise the village will always be at peace. 22
