Although Zhao Han broke the boundary between officials and officials, since the imperial examination was on the right track, it was becoming more and more difficult for officials to become officials.

After graduating from elementary school, he took the junior official exam in the county, which belonged to the lowest level of officials.

After graduating from middle school, he took the junior officer exam in the state capital, and the rank of the clerk was slightly higher.

After graduating from college and not being admitted to the Jinshi, he could initially release the nine-rank officials, but now he can only release the officials. However, they can directly serve as first- and second-class officials, and after three or five years, at most six or seven years, they can basically be promoted to the ninth rank official.

A clerk with only a primary school diploma, unless he has excellent practical ability, or has a relationship with his family, he will not be able to really be an official in this life, and his promotion to a first-class official is already the limit.

Clerks with a secondary school diploma are particularly tested for their talents and opportunities. Generally, when you retire, the Jiupin official will be in the sky, but there are overseas consulates and capital protectors!

In those remote and bitter cold places, Jinshi is reluctant to go, unless he can become a big official.

People were finally admitted to the imperial examination and thrown to Tibet to do eight or nine grades, how could there be no resentment in their hearts? Vietnam and Myanmar are okay, at least the conditions are not so bad.

Therefore, the imperial court had a policy to let the chief officials of the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties register the first-class officials who are willing to fight for their lives, and the list is sent to the capital every year together with the provincial taxes.

A first-class official is a hurdle, and if he is promoted, he is an official, but it is very difficult to cross.

Teng Wenlong has been a first-class official for eight years and has changed three positions, although the real power is getting bigger and bigger, and there is more and more oil and water, but life and death just can't go up. He was already in his thirties, and while his heart was still there, he registered to give it a go.

I was really selected, you know, there are a lot of first-class officials who are willing to fight for their lives, and their resumes are quite good, and whether they can win the lottery depends on luck.

But when he learned where he was going, Teng Wenlong couldn't cry or laugh again.

Neither to Tibet, nor to Heilongjiang, nor to the Mongolian steppe. Even if it's Malacca and Chittagong, what the hell is the Falklands?

The Falklands, the island of Madagascar, come from the transliteration of an indigenous language.

The Arabs, Portuguese, and French have given this island many names, such as Moon Island, Wazamba Island, Falklands, Big Island, etc., and Zhao Han feels that transliteration is the most convenient.

If there is a loss, there is a gain, the Falklands are remote, and the treatment is also high.

Teng Wenlong was directly promoted from a first-class official to six levels in a row and became a seventh-grade official. But he had to serve for six years, and if you count the round-trip journey, it would take seven or eight years to return to China, and he would be in his forties by then.

Teng Wenlong also brought several subordinates, who were also promoted by first-class officials, and the lowest rank was promoted to the eighth rank.

The fleet docked, and there was not even a serious port.

A Chinese who was in charge of this simple small port on the Falklands said: "Shangguan, please sail the ship to the north, where there is a port called Majanga, which has been renamed Renjia Port, which means "recognizing the family and returning to the country." There is a river in Renjia Port that leads directly to Xinguang City, where the Governor's Palace is located. ”

Teng Wenlong was puzzled: "Isn't the Governor's Mansion in the west?" ”

The man explained: "We have built the capital of a small indigenous country, and many of the old brothers have moved there. I'm not in a hurry to leave, and when this port is abandoned, I'll take over the nearby salt works. Hehe, my ancestors have been salt workers for generations, and I didn't expect to open my own salt factory one day. ”

Not only does this guy own the salt works, but the natives in the vicinity (mostly fishermen) are all under his jurisdiction. He also has five adopted sons, forming a five-man private army, which can recruit natives at any time and raise a ragtag army of three or four hundred people.

Compared to those city lords, he didn't feel aggrieved.

Because only the west coast of the island is suitable for boiling salt, and he has the only sea salt field on the island. As for the Xinguangcheng side, the natives all eat rock salt, which doesn't taste very good, and the old brothers prefer sea salt.

Teng Wenlong chatted with this person for a while, and then boarded the boat under the guidance of the guide and headed north.

The sea ships sent by the imperial court were also equipped with many small boats, and the supplies were loaded and carried along the river, enjoying the unique exotic scenery along the way.

"Mountain...... Mandrill? ”

Teng Wenlong used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the two sides of the strait, and suddenly a ghost thing came into view, which really startled him.

"Show me." Cao Yue said busily.

Cao Yue also came to Madao to be an official, but he was only promoted to the seventh rank because his official resume was not as good. (This chapter is not finished!) )

1020 [King Jin is very close]

Teng Wenlong is good-looking.

Teng Wenlong handed over the clairhand mirror and reminded: "It's weird and scary." ”

Cao Yue held the clairvoyant mirror and observed for a long time, and finally found a strange animal.

It appears to be a monkey, with white fur on its chest, neck, forehead, cheeks, and ears, and the rest of it is black. At first glance, it looks like a ghost, no wonder Teng Wenlong thinks it's a mandrill.

Forehead...... Madagascar lemurs.

Suddenly, more lemurs popped up, swarms watching the human ships from afar. They open their mouths and make a hoarse "hoar, hoar, hoar", and the cries of hundreds of lemurs gather together and echo across the banks of the valley.

The sound is very penetrating, and you can directly do the background sound effect of a ghost movie.

"it, Lao Tzu's goosebumps are up." Hao Shan shrunk his neck from the eighth grade.

Lin Xiaotian, who was in charge of guiding them, took out a clay pot and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I forgot to give you this." Wipe it on your body, on your clothes, you won't bite mosquitoes, and it can prevent malaria. ”

"Malaria prevention? That's a good thing. Teng Wenlong said in surprise.

There are more than 13,000 herbs in the Falklands, and most of them are unique to the island.

Like the medicinal juice in Lin Xiaotian's jar, this plant is everywhere on the island, and the juice can be extracted when it is broken in spring, which can kill the adults and larvae of Anopheles mosquitoes, which in turn are carriers of malaria protozoa. This medicine, which was not named in detail in later generations, was called "RDO No. 2" after the juice was purified.

There are also indigenous doctors on the island, and they are often part-time by shamans.

The Navy Medic who drifted to the Falklands had no medicine because he didn't know most of the plants on the island. By chance, the military doctor discovered that the wizard could heal the sick, so every time he conquered various tribes, he would capture the wizard alive and ask for medical advice.

There are not only herbs for malaria, but also herbs for cold, toothache, and so on.

In the past 10 years, military doctors have recognized hundreds of kinds, their medical skills have become more and more sophisticated, and the rate of child mortality has been decreasing year by year.

Lin Xiaotian explained the situation, and Teng Wenlong asked: "There are many of these herbs in the Falklands?" ”

"It's all over the place." Lin Xiaotian said.

Teng Wenlong said with a smile: "It can be shipped to China, not to mention preventing malaria, just preventing mosquito bites is very useful." ”

Lin Xiaotian said: "You have to squeeze the fresh grass into juice, I'm afraid it won't work for a long time." ”

Teng Wenlong said: "Then transplant the grass to China." ”

Obviously, they don't know what invasive species are. When this thing arrives in China, it will probably grow everywhere.

After passing through the hilly terrain, you will enter the plateau area.

"Huo, that kind of tree is so weird." Cao Yue pointed to a bread tree and said.

Lin Xiaotian said: "We call it the monkey tree, and there are often monkeys picking fruits on the tree. The tree is also full of treasures, fresh leaves can be used to make soups, dried leaves can be used as spices, fruits can be used to fill the stomach, seeds can be used to extract oil, and bark tendons can be used to weave cloth and make rope. Lao Chen...... Well, Dr. Chen learned from the sorcerer that the fruit, leaves, and bark of the monkey tree can cure malaria. ”

Teng Wenlong couldn't help but laugh and said: "There are quite a lot of malaria cures on this island." ”

Baobab fruit has three times the vitamin C content of oranges and 50% more calcium than spinach!

All kinds of strange animals and plants opened Teng Wenlong's eyes along the way, and he suddenly felt that it was not too bad to be thrown here.

The closer you get to Xinguangcheng, the more it looks like a civilized world.

Both sides of the river are cultivated areas, where the natives not only grow rice, but also dig many aqueducts. They weave linen and baobab bark cloth and sell it to less developed tribes in exchange for other subsistence items. The pottery process is also very mature, and the carpenter is also quite proficient, and he can build a "big boat" with twenty or thirty people.

If we continue to develop, it is estimated that we will be able to build ships and communicate with Africa and India.

The reason why navigation technology has not been lit up is not that the technology is not in place, but the problem of regional distribution. The most suitable places for farming are concentrated in the central plateau, and they don't rely on the sea at all. The coastal area, with a tropical rainforest climate in the east and a savannah climate in the west, is not suitable for the development of human civilization.

Arriving in Xinguangcheng, Deng Youzhang came out with a group of old brothers to greet him.

Talk to each other. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~ (This chapter is not finished!) )

1020 [King Jin is very close]

Teng Wenlong was invited into the city, and as he walked, he asked, "How many people do you rule?" ”

Deng Youzhang shook his head and said: "The only things we can directly govern are the cities and surrounding villages. Farther afield, it was all tribal autonomy, and it was impossible to count the population at all. ”

"And how many people can you count?" Teng Wenlong asked.

Deng Youzhang said: "There are about 1230,000 people. There are more than 40,000 people in this Xinguang city and its surroundings alone, and this is still what remains after the war. What is the constitution of the imperial court? ”

Teng Wenlong said: "You still have to be the governor, and none of the prefects and counties you appoint will be changed." I have brought a group of officials to serve as your deputies. There are also officials who specialize in overseeing gold mines, and Mr. Prospector has brought you two as well. Error-free updates @"

"Your Majesty." Deng Youzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the imperial court did not directly send someone to pick peaches.

Teng Wenlong also said: "Your Majesty asked the Falklands to build a seaport, and the imperial court will send two sea ships, and the shipping officials will be sent from the country. In the future, the materials of the Falklands will no longer be transported from China, and they can go directly to India to trade with the King of Jin. ”

"King Jin?" Deng Youzhang didn't understand.

Teng Wenlong explained: "The king of Jin is the king of Jin, the prince born by His Majesty, who is divided into a small country in the south of India. ”

Deng Youzhang and the old brothers around him were all silent when they heard this.

They also had star pullers, knew how to calculate latitude and longitude, and they also had nautical charts to know how close southern India was to the Falklands.

If they are disobedient, one day they anger the court, and the king of Jin can directly send troops to kill them.

The emperor is far away, but the king of Jin is not far away.
