"It's a pity that the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty are slightly inferior to the literary talents, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Ancestors are slightly inferior and coquettish, and the generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle eagle......"

The sound of reading aloud sounded in the school in Taihe County, Dali Prefecture, as the seat of Dali Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, Taihe County has opened a school (middle school) since the seventeenth year of the Apocalypse.

Although Yunnan has a small population, it has a population of nearly 3 million, and the number of students studying is as high as 660,000.

After streamlining, many prefectures and departments in Yunnan have been merged and abolished, leaving 26 prefectures.

As a relatively densely populated place in Yunnan, Dali is home to 210,000 Han and young ethnic groups.

There are 50,000 permanent residents in Taihe County, of which more than 13,000 are enrolled in 12 primary schools and one provincial school.

This catchy reading sound comes from the only school in Dali.

In the classroom, a rickety figure is writing a text on the blackboard with chalk.

The students recited with textbooks, unaware that their own teaching, this dean, was actually one of the famous Qingliu in the world.

More than ten years is enough for many people to forget many things, but for Yang Lian, he seems to feel that he is getting younger and younger.

Compared with the intrigue in the temple, the classroom and campus can make him more relaxed.

"Qinyuan Spring Snow" is a poem created by His Royal Highness King Qi of the National Dynasty."

"The word depicts the magnificent snow scene in the north, spanning thousands of miles, showing the majestic and heroic artistic conception, expressing His Royal Highness the King of Qi's love for the magnificent rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, and also praising the majestic strategy of Emperor Qi today."

"The whole word is fused with scenes, arguments and lyrics in one furnace, the artistic conception is magnificent, the momentum is magnificent, the feelings are unrestrained, and the mind is heroic, and it is also a poem that can represent the bold style of His Royal Highness King Qi."

"Okay, after all, it's a national history class, and the main thing is to explain the life of His Royal Highness King Qi."

Yang Lian wiped the end of the chalk on his hands, looked up at the twenty-six students in the class, picked up the book and read:

"Zhu Youzhen, King of Qi of the Ming Dynasty, he was an important politician, military strategist, strategist, mathematician, astronomer, writer, scientist, agronomist, reformer, educator, inventor, painter, calligrapher, ......"

"At present, he is the king of Qi of the national dynasty, the governor of the five armies, the governor of Shangzhi, the doctor of Ronglu, the country of Zuozhu, and the general of Xiaocai."

"As the pioneer of overseas vassals, his vassal kingdoms were in North and South Asia."

Yang Lian read Zhu Youzhen in the school textbook, although he had led three classes and studied this text three times, he still couldn't help but have a smile on his face while reading aloud.

He explained the knowledge in the textbook to the students who were curious about Qi Wang in the classroom, and the students also absorbed it like a sponge.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

A class passed in a hurry, and when the iron rod rang the one-foot bronze bell of Fuxue, it also meant that the class was over.

"Okay, that's all for today, let's get down, pay attention to safety on the way home, it's best to go together."

Yang Lian put down the book, he never dragged the class, but this made the students howl:

"Yang Jiaoxi will talk about it again! We haven't heard enough yet! ”

"That's it!"

"Say it again!"

The students coaxed, wanting to get more knowledge about Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qi, but Yang Lian also smiled at this as he had taught in the past:

"Okay, you have two days off, and when you come to study the day after tomorrow, I'll explain it to you again, let's go."

Yang Lian waved his hand, and walked out of the classroom with his textbook as he spoke.

Today is the day of the end of the school, and the education of the Ming Dynasty has undergone many reforms, and finally it was set to go to five days off and two days off, and only then did the recording method of Qiyao be used.

Qiyao appeared in China during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and refers to the seven major stars such as the sun, the moon, and the five planets, and was an important organizational component of astronomical stars at that time.

If it corresponds to the Hereafter, the day of the sun is Sunday, the day of the moon is Monday, the day of fire is Tuesday, the day of water is Wednesday, the day of wood is Thursday, the day of gold is Friday, and the day of earth is Saturday.

However, in Daming, the sun and the moon are weekends, and students have a day off, while workers only have one day off.

In addition, since there is no electric light, there is no so-called evening self-study, and there is no morning self-study.

Therefore, after school is over, students will not enter the school until 4 o'clock (8 o'clock in the morning) of the Golden Day, and then classes will start at 9 o'clock (9 o'clock).

Today is the day of the earth, so the last class has already been completed at 4 o'clock (16 o'clock).

The next step is a simple cleaning of the campus, and then I go home from school.

Yang Lian, as the principal of Dali Mansion, can't go home at the moment, and he has to go to the conference room of the mansion for a meeting.

Because of his fiery personality, when he came to the conference room and saw that more than 160 teachers from the school were in place, he went to the stage to briefly explain the preparation of the lesson, reminded the teachers not to forget, and then reminded before the end of the meeting:

"Today is also the day for you to send out your money, but now it's the time of Shen, so let's see if it's in the passbook tomorrow."

"If anyone doesn't arrive, they can go to the dean's office and look for me."

"Alright, now that we're done, let's adjourn."

Yang Lian's school does not have too much formalism, otherwise, according to common sense, after the cleaning is over, the students have to gather at 17 o'clock to give a lecture.

Because of his identity, the Yunnan government school department did not dare to interfere with his teaching philosophy, so Dali's government school and government school are relatively close to pragmatic in terms of learning atmosphere.

For example, at the end of the meeting, all the teachers returned to their classes, checked their hygiene briefly, and then announced the end of school.

The students walked out of the school gate with schoolcases and school bags on their backs, and there were all kinds of stalls and snacks at the school gate, as well as horse-drawn carriages and tricycles.

They are all soliciting customers to do business, which makes Dali Fuxue a little lively.

However, it was not long before Dali's soldiers and horses came here to manage the traffic, and the chaotic situation was brought under control.

After an hour, the school was empty, Yang Lian took his second son Yang Zhiyan and his third son Yang Zhifu to inspect the school, and after making sure that all the students had left, he said to the two brothers:

"You have also explained the precautions for the teaching and learning of the moon and the sun in rotation, and the teaching and learning of the class change."

"Yes." The two sons shook each other, and urged with a smile:

"Father, hurry up and go home, Mother has already asked Gorou to urge me just now."

"Alas...... The woman's family is also urging her to eat so tightly. Yang Lian complained, but his face was full of smiles, and he seemed to enjoy this kind of life very much.

"I'll go back first, and I'll have Gorou deliver food to you later."

Yang Lian confessed, but was complained by his two sons:

"It's a quarter of an hour's walk, you better go back in a carriage, it's only two pennies anyway."

"When you come back, my second brother and I are afraid that we will already starve to death."

"You guys......"

The atmosphere of the Yang family is very good, except for the eldest son Yang Zhiyi, who is an official fan and went to the capital, the other four sons have taken root in Dali.

"Gone!" After an explanation, Yang Lian turned around and went home.

However, he still did not get into the carriage, but left the carriage with the students and walked home by himself.

The courtyard of the Yang family was relocated to Taihe County after Yang Lian served as the head of the Fuxue, which was only three miles away from the Fuxue.

Therefore, when he walks home every day, it is the time when Yang Lian can cultivate his sentiments and watch the lives of the people.

After the expansion of the Ministry of Industry, Dali Taihe County can actually live more than 200,000 people, but now only 50,000 people live permanently, which also leads to the buildings in the city are far apart, and only on both sides of the main road are there houses and shops for business.

For the Ming Dynasty, which is entering the industrial revolution, it is still just a primitive border town, with no tourists, only natives and clouds on the snow-capped mountains.

There are people setting up stalls on the main road of Taihe County, some people shopping, and the flow of people is bustling and very lively.

Occasionally, through the alleys, you can see the villages and fields in the city, and behind the quiet villages are the distant city walls, and the distance above the city walls is the continuous snow-capped mountains, which is a beautiful scenery that makes people feel refreshed.

The bell tower in the city is antique, and there are some food stalls around the downstairs, and large umbrellas with oil-paper are propped up, which makes it more fireworks here.

There are a lot of people here, bustling, rubbing shoulders, not only Han people, but also a lot of young people.

Although they wore different costumes, their language was the same.

This is the result of the government and education taking root in Yunnan for more than 10 years, and it is also the result of more than 500,000 immigrants to Yunnan in the 57th year of the 3rd dynasty of the "Hong Jianyong" dynasty.

The brick road and the cement road represent different streets, different eras.

When Yang Lian walked to the cement road, he knew that he was not far from home.

The surrounding buildings began to become scarce, and farmland began to appear in Yang Lian's eyes.

Walking further, not far away is his home, a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits, which cost Yang Lian a year's money.

"It's back!"

The door of the courtyard was not closed, relying on the local folk customs and simplicity, so Yang Lian just shouted, then washed his face in the basin prepared at the door, wiped it, and then bypassed the shadow wall, ready to see if there was a meal.

It was only after he had bypassed the shadow wall that he realized why his wife had asked her youngest son to inform him in a hurry.

In the main hall, a familiar figure sat reading a book, that figure was too familiar, it seemed to appear in Yang Lian's dream every day, so when he really appeared, Yang Lian even wondered if it was a dream?

He hurried forward, knocking over several low stools in the courtyard in succession.

"Coming back?"

The man looked up, a little more mature than Yang Lian remembered, but it was not difficult to recognize.

"Why are you here?"

Yang Lian walked into the hall and looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting in the main seat, and was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hold back such a sentence.

"Go south with the imperial brother, see the lives of the people, and come to see you."

"Your Codex is pretty well written."

Zhu Youzhen shook the book in his hand, and Yang Lian looked at it when he heard it, and then realized that it was the codex he wrote in his spare time.

What is written on it is Yang Lian's views on the new policies issued by the imperial court, but it seems that he has learned a lesson, and Yang Lian recorded it after studying the feelings of the people and the changes in the lives of the people.

In the records in it, most of the policies are implemented well, but some of them are worthy of criticism, and some of them are too cumbersome and repetitive for the people to understand.

Of course, in addition to the records of the new policies, there are also records about the difficulties of the people, such as seeing a doctor, going to the government to run errands, moving, collecting taxes, eating and drinking, agriculture, and so on.

"I read it, it's well written, and I'll have someone copy it to take away when I go back, so that it can be used as a reference when the prince is in charge of the country."

Zhu Youzhen recognized Yang Lian's codex, which made Yang Lian proud than letting Yang Lian bring out a class that could be admitted to Shuntian and Yingtianfuxue.

After all, Zhu Youzhen has never recognized him politically, and this is the first time he has been praised by Zhu Youzhen in politics.

"How long will you be ready for this time?"

Yang Lian sat on the main seat next to Zhu Youzhen, and he still regarded Zhu Youzhen as Zhu Youzhen back then, which made Zhu Youzhen more relieved.

"It takes a month for the imperial brother to go to Luchuan to check the lives of immigrants, and I will stay for a month at most."

Zhu Youzhen explained the time, but Yang Lian nodded when he heard the words and said:

"The people of Dali live very well, and you can only get nothing if you stay here for a month."

"What you need to go to is southern Yunnan, where there are more people than Han Chinese, and it is not easy to govern."

"Southern Yunnan?" Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, and Yang Lian also nodded:

"There are only 60,000 people in Menggong Mansion so far, and 40,000 of them are Dai people."

"Due to the hot and humid climate, many immigrants are reluctant to go over, and naturally there are very few immigrants there, and the process of sinicization is too slow."

Yang Lian's words made Zhu Youzhen nod:

"No one has told me about these things."

"You are also a busy person, and these things have to be done in detail, so I'm afraid you will be tired of your duties sooner or later." Yang Lian couldn't help but talk about Zhu Youzhen.

There are not many people who can say Zhu Youzhen like him, it is Yang Lian, who is also seventy years old this year.

"As far as the matter of the feudal domain is concerned, are you sure it will be the winter solstice next year?"

Yang Lian looked at Zhu Youzhen and spoke worriedly.

"Hehe......" Zhu Youzhen, who smiled when he heard this, asked rhetorically:

"What? The national thief is leaving, but you are starting to give up? ”

Zhu Youzhen was ridiculing Yang Lian for saying that he was the way to cause trouble, which made Yang Lian's old face red:

"That's a good thing you didn't let people record it in the history textbook, otherwise the old man would be afraid that everyone would be shouting and beating him now."

"Could it be that the prodigal son turned back?" Zhu Youzhen smiled, and then looked around:

"It looks like you're not going back to Huguang's hometown."

"If you don't go back, it's good to live here."

Yang Lian shook his head, but found that Zhu Youzhen was looking at him directly:

"Do you want to go to Qi with me?"

Zhu Youzhen sent an invitation to Yang Lian, but Yang Lian shook his head without even thinking about it after hearing it:

"I was born as a Ming man, and I died as a Ming man."

"If I go to the country of Qi with you and enjoy wealth and wealth, but I will be infamous on my back, why am I?"

Yang Lian knows very well that he is famous for his honesty and straightforwardness, even if many people still know his deeds.

He can be an official, but he can only be an official of the Ming Dynasty.

If he goes to Qi to be an official, it can only mean that Da Ming can't tolerate ministers.

He won't do such a thing that is unfavorable to Daming.

"Besides, I'm already an old bone, I'm afraid I can't stand the fatigue of traveling."

Yang Lian said euphemistically, but Zhu Youzhen had already understood what he meant and no longer insisted on it.

"Since you say that, I won't bother you, as for what you said about southern Yunnan, I will go to see it in a few days."

"These days, we can catch up like old friends."

"Good, good!" Hearing that Zhu Youzhen knew that he was rejected, but he still had to catch up with him for a few days, Yang Lian also determined one thing.

Zhu Youzhen is still the original Zhu Youzhen, and he has never changed......

"My brother should have met Yang Lian at this time......"

On the roaring train, Zhu Youxiao looked at the regressing scenery outside the car window, and was a little trance-like.

He hoped that Yang Lian would persuade Zhu Youzhen to stay, but he also knew that Yang Lian could not persuade him like that.

"Hooray......

Wei Liangqing walked into the carriage and waved at Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting in the hallway.

Feeling Wei Liangqing's arrival, Zhu Youxiao also looked out the window and asked, "How is the matter?" ”

"Long live the return, everything has been arranged, and the news will come back soon."

"But...... His Royal Highness King Qi probably already knows that there are our people in the Jinyi Guard by his side. ”

"No ......

Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Liangqing to send someone to spy on Zhu Youzhen and Yang Lian, wanting to know their conversation, but he also knew that his younger brother probably already knew.

At the end of the day, his brother had more people around him than he had with him.

However, the former is for eavesdropping, and the latter is for protection.

"How is Brother Ran in the capital?"

Zhu Youxiao turned sideways and looked at Wei Liangqing, who was respectful:

"The crown prince presided over well, and the ministers and courtiers all admired him."

"That's good......" Hearing that his son was doing well, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but then added:

"Sun Chengzong was awarded the title of Gao Yangbo, and his third son was promoted to the first doctor of Zhongshun in the fourth grade."

"Yes......" Wei Liangqing responded, and said:

"In addition, long live, there are a lot of officials who have asked for the transfer of Qi this year, and the Ministry of Officials has received more than 76,000 requests for transfer."

"In addition, these officials and their families have also reported to the Migration Division."

"If they are allowed to move, the dynasty will lose at least six or seven hundred thousand people."

"Not only that, but the number is still increasing, and the minister is worried about ......"

"What's the use of worrying?" Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip:

"If they don't want to do this, it's useless for you to force them to stay."

"That's not what the minister meant," Wei Liangqing explained......

"The relocation of officials is serious, mainly due to the influence of the transfer of officials from Qi State."

"Therefore, the minister suggested that after October Enke, the officials of the Qi State should be repatriated first, so as not to expand the influence."

"What do Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting think?" Zhu Youxiao did not answer positively, but asked about the attitudes of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.

"Hong Gechen and Sun Gechen have different attitudes, Hong Gechen suggested that the Shangshu should be dealt with by His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and Sun Gechen felt that the official's negligence should be dismissed."

Wei Liangqing's answer made Zhu Youxiao frown, but he quickly regained his composure:

"Let the cabinet handle this matter, let Brother Ran leave it alone."

"In addition, tell the Migration Department to move the population to the country as soon as possible."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words came out, Wei Liangqing was stunned.

Obviously, the emperor wanted not to involve the royal family, and then move the population as much as possible before the king of Qi left Beijing.

The follow-up of this may be that once the king of Qi moves, the emperor wants the cabinet to come forward to prohibit the relocation of hundreds of officials to the state of Qi.

Thinking about it this way, there seems to be no problem, after all, the officials who really have their hearts set on the Qi State may have already seen that the best time to ask for a transfer is before the King of Qi is in the domain.

As for the king of Qi who wanted to go to the country of Qi after he became a vassal, then I am afraid that the purpose is not so simple.

"Minister, let's do it!"

Wei Liangqing understood Zhu Youxiao's words, and after saluting in return, he withdrew from the carriage step by step.

Soon, under his communication, the news was sent to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

It was also at the end of his transmission that the neighing of horses sounded, and the Mongols, who had migrated for three months, finally arrived in their Great Mongolia with all their cattle and sheep tribes.

100,000 soldiers and horses, 800,000 troops, millions of cattle and sheep of the Great Mongolian heritage, so that Lin Dan Khan is quite proud.

However, when he arrived in the Volga Delta with his people, the news from the front did not make him so happy.

The Ottomans and the Crimean Khanate defeated Ezhe's army and plundered more than 30,000 cattle and sheep.

The Great Mongolian Kingdom not only killed more than 3,000 people in the battle, but also lost more than 5,000 herdsmen.

Not surprisingly, these herders were sold into slavery by the Ottomans to Western and Southern Europe.

Such news made Lin Dan Khan, who had returned to Xinhala and Lin, extremely angry, and no one in the simple stone palace dared to speak, only Subudi, who had just followed him back to Xinhala and Lin, frowned and spoke:

"There are too many infidels in these two countries, and he will influence the Kazakhs and Bukhara and Yarkand people within us."

"Besides, it's almost winter, and we have to stock up on enough food for the winter."

"We must ask the Rakshasas for artillery and defeat and plunder some of the cities of the Crimean Khanate as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to die thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep in one winter."

Subudi's suggestion was very good, but Ezhe, who was wounded in the shoulder in the palace, gritted his teeth and said:

"We asked, they wouldn't give it, otherwise I wouldn't have lost!"

"These Rakshasas aren't good people either, so beware of them."

"It's useless to be on guard, at least not yet." Su Budi shook his head and said:

"We have made too many enemies, and now only the Rakshasas are not our enemies, and now we must rely on them."

"No!" Hearing Ezhe's words, Lin Dan Khan pondered for a moment and interrupted Subudi's words,

His expression was hesitant, as if he was making a decision:

"Now that we are far enough away from Daming, we can try to make peace with Daming again."

"Peace?"

"Will Da Ming agree?"

"This ......"

"We almost captured their emperor in the first place."

"It's too small......"

"You have to try it too!" Lin Danhan listened to the lack of confidence of the Taiji, and said:

"I trust the Han people more than the Rakshasas."

"Don't forget, our land was taken from the Rakshasas, and they will definitely take revenge."

"Our distance is only a few hundred miles, it is easy for them to take revenge, but it is not easy for Daming to deal with us."

"Even if their firearms are sharp, but from Shattered Leaf City to here, there are thousands of miles of supplies without supplies, and it is impossible for them to make an expedition here."

"No matter how slim the chances, we have to give it a try."

"I've decided!" Lin Dan Khan made a decision:

"Negotiate peace with Da Ming!"
