Chapter 294 The Spring of the Sixth Year of Chenghua
In March Jiashen, Huguang and Shandong were exempted from taxation and grain.
Emperor Xianzong has enough food now, and he is also generous. Tax-free food is exempted very frequently.
If you are not strong, you can't do without taxes!
In the same March, there is also Qingming Festival.
The Ming Dynasty had holidays during Qingming and Chongyang, and they took a day off to worship their ancestors.
For this ancestor worship, Wu Youwei asked Wu Qiong to be the officiant, and let him slowly take over the Wu clan.
March is also the time for the beginning of spring, and the plan for a year lies in spring.
This year, Daming peppers, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., had sufficient seeds and blossomed everywhere; three-cropping rice was officially accepted by the southern coastal areas, and double-cropping rice became the best choice for southern rice.
Renyin, Zhao Yansui Tuntian.
Shuyong was the general of Pinglu, serving as the chief military officer, the eunuchs Fu Gong and Gu Heng supervised the army, Wang Yue was the counselor of military affairs, and prepared Aruo to come out of Yansui.
Hetao is an old scar in Daming Junchen's heart.
In April, the weather officially turns warm.
Wu Youwei married the last two younger sisters, Xiao Li Xiucai and Xiao Zhang Xiucai, who are now the official teachers of Tao Wen Academy.
Although it is only the teacher who teaches the small class.
However, Tao Wen Academy has grown-up children. After graduating from school, they cannot take the imperial examination, but they can enter Tokugawa to work in accounting. Of course, the accounting teacher trained by oneself is more reassuring than others.
The climate in early summer is dry and dry. The spring breeze is blowing, the willows are soft, and the Hanlin Academy has begun to clean up the first library.
On this day, Wu Youwei took Wu Qiong, Xiao Zhang Xiucai and Xiao Li Xiucai from Tao Wen Academy, these two are now his brother-in-law, and only the two of them and Wu Qiong can use the three places, Xiao Mingde It's too small to bring and do nothing to waste a spot.
Hanlin also brought three people, basically no one did not bring the full quota, and 80.00% of them were their own sons!
Ten percent of those without sons brought their grandchildren.
The remaining 5.00% brought nephews or grandnephews.
Only 5.00% came with their own students.
People like Wu Youwei brought their own relatives with them, and others didn't think there was anything wrong.
As one of the top three, Zhang Sheng brought his son Zhang Yuanxi, and two Tao Wen Academy students who have passed the examination of scholar this year.
This year is not the year of the general examination, so the children's examination will start in February.
There are two people from Tao Wen Academy who have passed the Tongsheng Examination. They are all from innocent peasant families. They have learned a lot from Zhang Sheng. Wei and Zhang Lun are both guest mountain leaders.
These people who were either the top picks or the second best candidates made Tao Wen Academy famous in the academy circle in a short period of time. Although it was still very small, many families had already sent their children to Tao Wen Academy.
It's just that Wu Youwei's admission of these children depends on the situation, and there is an exam before entering school. This is a place where tuition is free, and some children even study well, and there are scholarships available.
However, there are also different situations, for example, it is impossible for a child from a rich and powerful family to come to Tao Wen Academy to study alone.Book boy, do you have to prepare one?
Where do these people live?what to eatHow can I serve my children to study hard?
Moreover, the houses in Wujia Village are not for sale, and the land is owned by Wu Youwei. If he doesn't nod, who would dare to build a house here and buy land?
How to do it?
Pay the fee.
Wujia Village does not allow outsiders to enter, and Taowen Academy does not allow anyone to bring seven or eight schoolboys to show off, so they can only hire people from the academy to take care of the children.
But it is only responsible for having hot water to wash your face in winter, you can choose vegetables when you eat, and someone will wash your clothes. Others...you have to ask for blessings.
Wu Youwei set a very high payment standard. If you want someone to serve you, then you can pay a high fee and enjoy your academic career.
In this way, the expenses of the college are also covered.
There is no shortage of rich and powerful families in Beijing. For the sake of their children, these people are really willing to spend money. They are also afraid that their children will suffer, and they also pay huge service fees.
But ordinary people's children can take care of themselves. It doesn't matter if they don't know how to wash their clothes. You can spend a little money and ask the women in Wujia Village to help clean them. Of course, you can save them and take them home. Both have two days off.Enough for them to go back and come back.And today, six people came to Tao Wen Academy!Apart from Wu Youwei and Zhang Sheng, there is also Yang Yiqing!
Yang Yiqing is young, the students are naturally from Tao Wen Academy, and his hometown is far away from the capital, so he has no way to bring his nephews, so he can only bring students.
On the first day, the Hanlin Academy became a social place, and everyone met each other to make introductions, busy getting to know people.
Of course, this first day was just a warm-up. Even the Hanlin scholars brought their two grandsons, one of their proud disciples. Your own children, proud pupils, outstanding juniors, etc.
Wu Youwei was the happiest, in front of everyone, he pointed to Wu Qiong and said: "This is my nephew Wu Qiong and Wu Shiji.
"Oh?" Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this: "But last year's triad leader? Wu Shiji?"
"That's right, that's right!" Wu Youwei was astonished that everyone could see it: "This kid's first exam, he just got a small three yuan. Come back... oh ha ha ha!.
How old is Wu Youwei himself?How old is Wu Shiji?
The uncle and nephew stood together like two brothers, and he couldn't be more proud.
However, his complacency will only make people feel cute and want to laugh after seeing it, rather than the disgusting feeling.
"Look at showing him off!" Zhang Sheng came over unhappy, and pointed at Wu Qiong: "Boy, what did you call me?"
"Father-in-law." Wu Qiong bowed his head and said, "Teacher."
Even the father-in-law is also the enlightenment mentor.
"Hmph!" Zhang Sheng was satisfied.
"Yes, yes, yes, your virtuous son-in-law, my nephew." Wu Youwei hurriedly flattered him.
His actions were too fake, Zhang Sheng hummed angrily, and everyone laughed.
On this day, Wu Youwei also sent people a lot of snacks made by himself, which are actually not very delicate, but they are affordable and can fight hunger.
Red bean cake, mung bean cake.
Emperor Xianzong also awarded the "Buluojiao" to the Hanlin Academy on this day, and the Empress Dowager was awarded two cherry stones as a new tribute.
The queen rewarded them with glutinous rice and Pu'er tea, as well as a meat and a vegetarian dish made by the imperial dining room, as an addition to their dishes.
The things were delivered at noon, and after Xie En, I was very excited.
This is the royal reward!
Everyone has a big appetite.
The courtiers didn't care about the affairs of the Imperial Academy, anyway, they had no right to go to the court, and the most recent hot topic in the court was spring plowing.
It is the planting situation of chili peppers in various places, because chili peppers and spirits are now major exporters.
It's just that the courtiers are a little puzzled. No one is allowed to drink the spirits exported by the court...
Those who dare to drink secretly or deduct money will be at their own risk.
The emperor didn't say what the "consequences" were, but it made people follow such a decree without thinking.
But the more mysterious it is, the more uncertain it is, so that no one at the border gate dares to steal or drink those spirits.
In addition, there are separate disinfectant spirits at the border, as well as imported spirits, and the supply is sufficient, but no one reaches out for the exported spirits.
Daming has never been short of smart people, and someone has already guessed something. There is probably something wrong with the spirits that are exported.
But foreigners have been drinking for so long, have you heard of any problems?
With deep puzzlement, the courtiers continued to pay attention to the spirits exclusively for border trade....
Foreigners also heard about this incident. They thought Ming was cunning, so they inquired about it. As a result, those who came to the border trade market said: "The wine you drink is too strong. We are not used to it. We are used to it." It's strong-flavored, your strong wine, after drinking it, it feels hot from your throat to your stomach, it's too strong."
The Tatars in the north and the northern Yuan clan laughed loudly after hearing this explanation, and the fear in their hearts disappeared a lot. Indeed, the Han people just can’t drink strong alcohol, and some nobles even drank the rice wine from the Jiangnan people, especially the romantic ones. Hue’s daughter Hong’s name sounds nice, and the origin of the wine is also very beautiful, but I really don’t like the taste!It's as light as water!
Upon hearing this news, Emperor Xianzong and Wantong laughed behind their backs, and even the eunuch Huai En couldn't laugh or cry: "The foreigners in the north are really...stupid!"
"They're not stupid, they just don't dare to drink the strong wine because my Ming people don't drink it." After Emperor Xianzong laughed, his eyes flickered coldly: "Does Jin Yiwei have any news to return?"
"Yes." Wantong withdrew his smile: "Duoyan Sanwei has now become a place for the mutual market. Many people are not convinced. Wherever the mutual market is, there will be a lot of money. Many people are jealous. Also, the beiyuan survivors of the eight tribes of the
The leaders of one tribe had an accident. Two of them were drunk to death because they drank too much wine; one was dying now; two were blind from drinking; "
The north is cold, especially since they don’t have a house yet, they live in yurts, and they rely on spirits to keep warm in winter. The more you drink the wine, the more you want to drink it. In the north, many people can’t die. Some died in war, and more Some died of drunkenness; others were drunk, fell into the snow, and froze to death.
So it won't arouse their alertness. Wu Youwei said that alcohol, no matter how much you drink, is harmful to your body.
In mild cases, the eyes will be blind, and in severe cases...drunk to death.
In fact, he died of alcohol poisoning. This thing is only suitable for external use, not suitable for drinking into the stomach.
"That's right, Maid Wu is a talent." Emperor Xianzong smacked his lips: "Tell me, are his masters the hermits in the scriptures?"
"Shouldn't it?" Wantong smiled bitterly: "So far, I feel that the arrangement is foolproof, but after he won Tanhua, his master sent him a large piece of top-quality suet white jade, and asked him to order someone to make it. Many of the same jade pendants were made, and they were distributed to their fellow students in this subject, one for each, as a souvenir for them...
That piece of jade is very big, it is impossible to appear quietly, but Xu Niang did not hear any movement, that day Wu Youwei went back to worship the ancestors, and the next morning after returning, the jade appeared in the yard inside.
Xu Niang, that senior female detective, was about to doubt her life.
"I have seen it too." Emperor Xianzong smiled: "Surely his masters are all godlike figures? Otherwise, how could they get so much suet white jade?"
Suet white jade is also "mutton fat jade", as the name implies, it is jade like suet (commonly known as suet).
The sub-jade of suet white jade has been soaked in the groundwater and soil of the wasteland or oasis under the Kunlun Mountains for millions of years, and the output is rare and the value is very high.
Suet white jade is crystal clear and white, delicate and moist without blemishes, "as white as cut fat".
Its characteristics are that it is particularly delicate, bright and moist.
The best mutton fat white jade is almost flawless, like freshly cut mutton fat, and its luster is like condensed fat.
Suet jade comes from Kunlun Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain is also known as Kunlun Xu, the first sacred mountain in China, the mountain of Wanzu, Kunlun Qiu or Yushan.
It is the mountain system in central Asia and the backbone of the mountain system in western China
The mountain range starts from the east of the Pamir Plateau in the west, runs across Xinjiang and Tibet, and extends to Qinghai. The geographical location is the junction of Xinjiang, Qinghai and Tibet.
None of them are adjacent to the land of the Central Plains, and Wu Youwei's masters can actually get jade seeds and jade from there, not only can they get it, but they can also send it here across mountains and mountains...
