The reason why nomadic people have no fixed place to live is related to their lack of material and their ease of moving.
Later generations would be exhausted after moving once, and sometimes they would have to find help from others. If that didn't work, they would have to find a moving company. But for Mongolians like Oara and Tatar, moving is a piece of cake.
The largest item is just a yurt, which can be folded up and put on the horse. There are not many other pots and pans. After all, I am a bit poor. In addition, there are few purchasing channels and the price is high, so I can't bear to exchange the sheep.
There are plenty of horses. Even if you don't have any at home, it's no problem to go and say a few nice words or borrow a few horses. Even if you don't have enough, oxen can still carry things. It’s just a little thing, it doesn’t cost anything.
When the grass here is gone, we will continue to graze cattle, sheep and horses in another place. We are not afraid of trouble. It is normal to move every two weeks. No one comes to check the temporary residence permit or anything like that. You can leave when you want, and you can stay when you want. Keep.
But Zhu Yunwen decided to make the nomadic people no longer nomadic. One of the methods was to make it more difficult to move.
Bring some good things, including exquisite beds, cabinets, tables, and chairs, sell more silks and cotton clothes, and pull in a few carts of grain to improve their food.
If there are too many things, moving will be troublesome. If you are reluctant to lose things, there are countless cases where enemies will catch up and beat you up when you go on the road with a lot of belongings. .
The Ming Dynasty completely liberalized commercial trade on the grasslands, allowing merchants to export salt, ironware for daily use, tea, grain, etc. to the greatest extent to avoid the migration of herdsmen.
Some of the Shanxi merchants have already begun to develop the idea of feeding. They have approached the court officials and want to use a sum of money to purchase dry grass on the uninhabited grassland, make it into feed, and then resell it to people on the grassland. After winter, many families still need feed. Those who don't want to move, those who are too lazy to cut grass, and those who lack concentrated feed are all bought and sold.
The summer wind blew through the grassland, climbed over the Great Wall, played all the way on the thousands-mile plain, stepped on the water of the Yangtze River, causing ripples, glanced at the busy Jinling, and turned around in disgust and headed south.
Qiantang Social Studies.
The willow trees by the pond were swaying quietly, and Zhao Shuwen and Hu Kewei were found sitting in the pavilion, enjoying a rare and comfortable time.
Hu Kewei stood up, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Shuwen, and then sat down: "Brother Zhao, what do you think of the document sent by the Imperial College?"
Zhao Shuwen smiled, picked up his glass and said to Hu Kewei: "The imperial court needs to rectify the prefectural and county schools and social studies. This is a matter of course. The expansion was too barbaric and the foundation was unstable. This is equivalent to lighting the wick and forgetting to add oil. , it won’t stay on forever. Now that the imperial court has decided to eliminate unqualified teachers, I naturally support it.”
Hu Kewei nodded heavily: "The original expansion was for speed, but now we are focusing on the foundation of culture and education, which is a good thing. You and I have not neglected our studies over the years, so naturally we will not care about the assessment. As the imperial court moves northward step by step, A group of high-quality sociologists will be built near Peiping, and there is news in Jinling that we hope to send a group of outstanding instructors from local sociologists to the north."
Zhao Shuwen suppressed his smile and was quite dissatisfied: "Whose idea was it to send outstanding instructors to the north? I am opposed to this!"
Hu Kewei lamented: "Although the news is not confirmed, I think it will not be long before a formal document is handed down. This is the idea of the senior officials of the Imperial College, and it is also in line with the considerations of the imperial court. If it is opposed, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction."
Zhao Shuwen stood up with a cold face and said: "As a teacher, why am I afraid of offending others? So what if I offend others? Nowadays, there are no female ministers in the Qingming Dynasty. As long as they are justified, why should we be afraid of them? The imperial court and the Imperial College want to transfer I can understand that excellent teachers go to Peiping, but have they ever thought that doing so will benefit Peiping, but it will harm local culture and education!"
"Taking this Qiantang as an example, it took us six years to lay the foundation of cultural education. In the past six years, we worked diligently and worked hard to lay the foundation of Qiantang social education. Seeing these first batch of social education students We are finally about to graduate and will take the county school exam this year, but the court actually wants to take us away? Is it you, are you going to Peking?"
Hu Kewei naturally couldn't bear to leave Qiantang Society School, the disciples here, the people here, the wind here, and every plant and tree here.
In order to run Qiantang Culture and Education well, how many people work at their desks day and night, flipping through
I have written so many documents, supplemented so many textbooks, my voice has become hoarse, my hands have cracked due to frostbite, my hair has fallen out, and I have used up so much chalk...
I am used to this place and like it. How can I leave?
What's more, once all the outstanding teachers are transferred to Peking, leaving only some less than outstanding teachers to teach here, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of Qiantang Social Studies, which will not be inferior to private schools in the future?
This is not possible, this is hard work, no matter what, we need to be the best in Qiantang!
Hu Kewei sighed and said, "Then let's write a document and inform the Imperial College so that the Imperial College can be cautious about this matter."
Zhao Shuwen waved his hand and said majestically: "Why be cautious? Object directly! Brother Hu, we are gentlemen, not officials. We don't need to beat around the bush so much. Just go straight. Li Zhigang is a wine sacrificer, and the Imperial College and the Ministry of Rites don't have so many villains." , tell them not to act like this!"
Hu Kewei thought for a while and finally nodded.
Zhao Shuwen put his hands behind his back, looked at the small pond in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "In early June, Qiantang students will take the county school examination. What do you think?"
Hu Kewei walked up to Zhao Shuwen and stared at him: "What is your opinion?"
"You know better."
Zhao Shuwen whispered.
Hu Kewei shook his head: "It won't be long before Qiantang County School, Social Studies, and local private school teachers, including you and me, will send some people to the county government to complete the writing and correction of the county school examination papers..."
Zhao Shuwen looked at Hu Kewei and shook his head: "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Hu Kewei was a little depressed and sighed: "We can't be the master of Yu Qian's affairs."
Zhao Shuwen's eyes were firm and he said firmly: "Sir, I can't be transferred away because I have too many responsibilities. But disciples are different. They need a bigger stage and better education. You can see Yu Qian's progress over the years. Two years ago, you gave him a set of county school test papers, and the result was that his scores were enough to shock the county magistrate!"
"In the past two years, we have been keeping tabs on Yu Qian because we are afraid that he will be proud and lose himself. After all, it may not be a good thing for him to become a talent at a young age. In order to satisfy Yu Qian, you and I have spent a lot of effort. We found all the teaching materials, and even asked Dong Lun, the Imperial Academy’s Imperial College, to deliver a batch of books from the Imperial Academy.”
"It would be a disaster for Yu Qian to continue to study in the county school, especially the county school in Qiantang. It would ruin such an outstanding talent. He is thirteen years old. If he is allowed to enter Qiantang County School and waste three years, , you and I both have uneasy consciences! The best solution right now is to send this person to Peking and let him go to a county school in Peiping!"
Hu Kewei looked at Zhao Shuwen with some uneasiness: "Not to mention whether we can send this person to Peking, even if we do, can you guarantee that the school in Beiping County can teach him? You might as well just say that Yu Qian is sent to the Imperial College! "
Zhao Shuwen chuckled: "You have forgotten that a year ago, Zhang Bozhi became the teachings of Wanping County. As long as Yu Qian is sent to Wanping County to study, the trouble will not be ours, but Zhang Bozhi's." "
Hu Kewei looked at Zhao Shuwen who was throwing away the burden, and said somewhat depressedly: "Isn't this bad?"
Zhao Shuwen raised his head and looked at the sky: "What's the matter? As long as this boy Yu Qian can be good, there is nothing we can't do. This boy is talented, upright, knows right from wrong, and can distinguish right from wrong. One day he will definitely be able to enter the court and become a great leader." An incredible person. What we are doing now is just laying the bricks for him."
Zhang Bozhi may not be able to teach Yu Qian, but Zhang Bozhi is a person who cherishes talents very much. This person once heard that a child was not allowed to go to school, so he visited every house and pulled the student back. In addition, this person participated in the compilation of teaching materials and worked with The senior officials of the Imperial College are very close, so he will naturally find a way to send out the disciples he cannot teach, and will never hold them in his hands and let them go to waste.
Although Zhao Shuwen and Hu Kewei were from the Imperial College, they were far inferior to Zhang Bozhi in terms of connections and influence. What's more, Zhang Bozhi was in Peiping, and Zhao Shuwen and others were in Qiantang. They came to the Imperial College to write documents when they had something to do. They had been back and forth for a month, Zhang Bozhi You can go to the Imperial College and ask the Imperial College staff for help face to face.
Hu Kewei lowered his head and nodded heavily: "In that case, then
Let Yu Qian transfer to another school. "
Zhao Shuwen said nothing.
For the sake of Yu Qian's future, we can only let this guy go to Peking. The Qiantang magistrate still needs lobbying, and it won't work if the magistrate doesn't release him. If he releases him, it will be another loss in his political performance...
Yu family.
Yu Qian sat upright, writing quickly, and a wonderful article appeared on the paper.
Yu Yanzhao stood outside the window, looking at Yu Qian who was serious, and nodded repeatedly. When Yu Qian put away his pen, he said, "Are you ready for the county school exam?"
Yu Qian stood up and smiled at his father Yu Yanzhao: "The county school exam is just a small test. What I want to take is the government school exam. But the teacher doesn't allow it. You have to walk step by step and eat every meal."
Yu Yanzhao glared at Yu Qian: "The examination for the government school is for county students. What are you doing as a social student? Don't think that if you are the first in Qiantang Society, you can go to the government school. There is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. Don’t be arrogant. If you are full of losses, you will benefit from modesty. Have you forgotten?"
Yu Qian saluted solemnly: "I dare not forget it, but my father, the county exam is really not difficult, I want to challenge something more difficult. My husband also said that after laying a solid foundation, you should move forward, and you can't just stand in the same place and repeat simple knowledge. . Paddling in circles is just a waste of effort. Only by moving forward can you have a chance to go to sea."
Yu Yanzhao frowned, it was troublesome to deal with such a smart child...
