Yunnan's policy of returning local residents to local residents was implemented more smoothly than Guizhou's, mainly because this place has a higher degree of Sinicization.
The Qujing Prefecture where eldest brother Tian Qiu worked was still a military and civilian government at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The prefect was served by a chieftain, also known as the "local prefect", who was under the control of the military and government. Han officials served as tongzhi, palm seal, and were responsible for supervising the local prefect.
In the later years of Zhu Yuanzhang, the local chieftain Long Hai rebelled, and Mu Ying smoothly put it down. He threw Long Hai to guard the border in Liaodong, and died halfway there. Long Hai's son Ah Zi succeeded to the throne and rebelled again, and Mu Ying put him down again.
When Mu Ying and Fu Youde put down the rebellion, they killed many small chieftains and set up several guard posts.
After Mu Ying's death, the native chief Azifu rebelled again, but was killed by Mu Ying's son Mu Chun, and Yunnan was completely pacified.
And Qujing Military and Civilian Mansion also became Qujing Mansion.
Remove the word "military and civilian", that is, the prefect changed from a chieftain to a exiled official, and the chieftain could at best serve as a magistrate and governor. By the Hongzhi period, Qujing's local magistrates and governors were also abolished, and the policy of reforming local governors to local governors was completely completed.
, only some scattered small pieces of toast are left.
The chieftain inheritance system in the Ming Dynasty was also developed with the advice of the prefect of Qujing.
Before that, anyone could inherit a chieftain. Once an old chieftain died, his descendants, brothers, wives, concubines, nephews... were often reduced to a pot of porridge, and the court was very worried about this.
Why are eunuchs said to harm the country?
Ningzhou, Yunnan, had already completed the transformation of the land to local rule. Two years ago, Tu Tongzhi's salary bribed Liu Jin, and he actually dismissed the Han official and magistrate of the state. The imperial court's hundreds of years of hard work were in vain. The salary and salary immediately colluded with the chieftain of Maitreya Prefecture, and the two states
A rebellion broke out at the same time and was put down not long ago - something a civilian official would never be able to do!
Tian Qiu's eldest brother is Tian Gu, who is currently the general magistrate of Qujing Mansion and is the third-in-command there.
He held a banquet in honor of all the students, the chief of Qin, the porters, and the bookboys. They were also given fine food and wine to eat and drink.
The five taels of silver that Wang Yuan lent to Tian Qiu were not only returned immediately, but also gave Wang Yuan two pieces of Zhanyi ham. This was a local specialty, later known as Xuanwei ham.
After staying in Qujing, the two of them set out again, arriving in Kunming in mid-July. At this time, there were still twenty days before the provincial examination started.
Qin Baotou took the porters and said goodbye. After unloading the goods and repairing them for a few days, he had to transport Yunnan salt back to Guizhou.
The Yunnan Gongyuan is located in the Donglu Garden area of later Yunnan University. It was newly built in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. The old Gongyuan was too crowded and could no longer meet the needs of the imperial examinations in the mid-Ming Dynasty.
All the streets near Gongyuan were temporarily renamed "Qingyun Street", which means walking on the green clouds. This is done all over the country.
Just for good luck.
After Geely, rents skyrocketed.
Anyway, there are limited houses, so if you don’t live in them, some people will rent them out.
Among Wang Yuan and his group, including Tian Qiu, only twelve people were able to successfully reach Kunming.
After entering the city, they went straight to Qingyun Street. They found that almost every house was covered with red paper. On the red paper, there were auspicious words such as "To be the best", "The star shines brightly", "A happy life in Qiuyuan", etc., all of which were used to attract students.
member tenant.
When asked about the price, everyone was stunned.
The closer to Gongyuan, the higher the rent. For several houses next to Gongyuan, the monthly rent for a single room is 10 taels, and the landlord can provide three meals and hot water for free.
Even for the farthest house at the end of the street, the monthly rent for a single room is more than three taels.
When students from Guizhou go to Yunnan to take exams, they often bring their bookboys with them. They have to rent two rooms at a time, which is simply not something that poor scholars can afford.
"Dear friends, I won't rent a house on Qingyun Street. It's much cheaper to live in a hotel." A student named Zhang Yun said. He was born in a well-off family and could not afford to raise a book boy, let alone rent a house.
The inn is far away from Gongyuan and is very noisy. It is not a good place to stay while waiting for the exam.
As for why the inn is not built near Gongyuan, it is because Gongyuan is located far away from the market, and the provincial examination is held every three years. If you open an inn here, you will have to wait for it to close down.
Just after Zhang Yun finished speaking, another student said: "I will also move to a hotel."
These two people were short of money. Wang Yuan immediately took out the money and gave it to them and said: "If the two fellow students are in trouble, I can help you. The Gongyuan side is clean and elegant, and it is much more convenient to review books. They are all from Guizhou."
You’ve made it to Yunnan, do you still care about the extra few taels of silver?”
The two students thought for a while and accepted the money: "Brother Ruoxu has been so kind to me, I am deeply grateful to you, and you will definitely be rewarded in the future!"
"How can we repay you? We are all fellow villagers and should help each other." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
Wang Yuan is not a victim like Mr. Song. He is just trying to win people's hearts. With just a few taels of silver, he can make two students feel grateful and make other students have a better impression of him.
Moreover, "Qingyun Street" is full of students, and when anyone talks about it, Wang Yuan's reputation for righteousness and wealth can be spread.
Although Li Ying, Yue Zhen, Zou Mu, Tian Qiu and others did not take money seriously, they would only help those with whom they had good connections. Seeing that Wang Yuan actually helped fellow students, they did not think much about it, but instead
I think Wang Yuan is a person worth getting to know deeply.
The next step is to choose a room.
Zhu Sheng didn't find the house closest to Gongyuan. It only took a few steps to walk, and the rent was a lot higher. Living in a place like that was really a big deal.
But, there are quite a lot of people who are willing to be taken advantage of. It is said that the closer you live to Gongyuan, the more likely you are to bask in Kuixing’s luck. And this is justified, because for those houses, more than ten people have to pass the exam every year.
Lift people.
It's all nonsense. If you can afford a single room with twelve months' rent, you must be rich or expensive. However, the literary culture in Yunnan and Guizhou is not strong. The richer the family, the better the educational resources they can get, and of course the higher the success rate.
Gao, does this have anything to do with where you live?
"Dong dong dong!"
Everyone knocked on the door of a residential house.
The landlord soon came out in person, exchanged a few words with each other, invited the students into the courtyard, and introduced: "There are three courtyards in the humble house. Several rooms have been rented out, and I also want to live in some. There are still five rooms available.
For rent, the room in the courtyard facing the street costs three to five taels per month; the room in the courtyard costs four taels per month. Hot water and three meals are provided for free, with one meat, one vegetable and one soup for each meal. You can also help take care of the donkeys and horses, but
You need to pay for the feeding of livestock at your own expense.”
"Are there only five rooms?" Wang Yuan asked.
The landlord said with a smile: "Are you my husband from the same hometown? I'm afraid we won't be able to live together. It's only twenty days before leaving the hometown. Many houses on Qingyun Street have been rented out, and each family only has a few empty rooms left."
Wang Yuan turned around and asked: "Whoever likes this house should choose it for himself."
All the students said: "If Brother Xu should choose first, we can choose the rest."
"Then I'm not welcome." Wang Yuan directly chose a room. Although he was generous, he still had to save the province, so he and Zhou Chong could share a room together.
The remaining four rooms were rented by Yue Zhen, Tian Qiu, Zou Mu, and Zou Mu's book boy respectively - Yue Zhen's book boy fell ill and did not come to Guizhou, and Tian Qiu's book boy was directly killed by the bandits.
Just as Zhou Chong entered the house with his luggage, a student walked out of the next room, cupped his fists and said: "I live in Xialuojiang, named Kong Yin, from Songmeng Prefecture."
This guy seems to be a rich man. Songmeng Prefecture is the future Songming County and is very close to Kunming. He actually came to Gongyuan 20 days in advance and rented a house on Qingyun Street. It was just because he had too much money.
Wang Yuan returned the greeting and said: "Wang Yuan, courtesy name Ruoxu, from Guiyang."
Wang Yuan's reputation as a child prodigy has obviously not spread to Kunming yet. Luo Jiang was just being polite and said nonsensically: "So it's my friend Wang. I don't know what your rule is?"
"Book of Rites," Wang Yuan asked, "where is my friend Luo?"
Luo Jiang smiled and said: "Spring and Autumn."
Well, you are awesome, Wang Yuan doesn’t want to talk anymore.
Luo Jiang saw that Wang Yuan was equipped with swords and bows, and asked curiously: "Are all Guizhou scholars good at literature and martial arts?"
Wang Yuan said: "I traveled three to four thousand miles to take the exam, so I had to practice martial arts to defend myself."
Zhou Chong happened to be moving things out and suddenly boasted: "Second brother killed many bandits on the road. He also shot and killed the bandit leader on the sea arrest warrant and received a reward of one hundred taels of silver!"
Well, you are even more awesome. It's Luo Jiang's turn to not want to talk anymore.
