Chapter 498 Let the scholars marry, good sister, don't do this!
In order to accelerate the expansion of the Ming Dynasty and prevent Tsarist Russia from advancing eastward, Zhu Youxiao moved a large number of Han people in the vast area of northern Shipeng that had not yet been clearly affiliated, and built cities to establish commerce.
On the one hand, he took advantage of the political struggles within the court to exil the frustrated literati and gentry to these places.
Let these scholars and officials assimilate the local primitive residents.
On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao rewarded the border guards sent to these literati and officials by copying the money they had obtained.
The soldiers were not dissatisfied with being stationed in the bitter and cold places outside the border for many years.
However, the literati who were demoted and exiled due to the failure of the political struggle was naturally dissatisfied with this.
But their dissatisfaction cannot change the overall situation except for resisting with their mouths and words.
Cao Rong was carried to the Beishan Prefecture Department.
It was a difficult journey.
He had to bear the pain brought by the cold weather and the threat of wild animals, and also the loss and loneliness far away from the center of the imperial political.
But he found that there were many scholars and officials like him who were exiled and even the entire tribe who were exiled.
He found that the living standards of these people here have indeed declined severely. His past life of being a rich and frugal life has long been gone, and he had to farm himself.
It's just that reading is not ruined.
Listening to the sound of reading aloud from the newly gathered village, Cao Rong couldn't help but smile.
But when he thought that these sounds of reading were only caused by his Han doctors being exiled here, he was silent again.
He knew that the Hanyin here came at the expense of his scholar-official sacrifice.
"The meaning of your coming here is to practice your own philosophy, use the knowledge and culture you have mastered to educate the primitive people here, so that they can know etiquette, learn Chinese, and wear Chinese clothes. You are the seeds of my Chinese civilization and the missionaries of my Chinese civilization! This is the best place for you to realize your life ambitions. Zhang here, please ask all the gentlemen!"
The first governor of Beishan, Zhang Tongchang, came with Cao Rong.
There were other civil servants who were exiled or demoted here for various crimes and punishments.
At this time, Zhang Tongchang spoke in front of these people in a primitive settlement of a later generation called Okhotsk Ferry, in front of Cao Rong and others of exiled civil servants, and was quite polite.
After all, when we get here, everyone belongs to the Han people.
"The first thing you have to do is to accept the primitive women here as wives or concubines, breed with them, and teach them the Chinese Zhou rituals, and also teach young children here."
Zhang Tongchang continued.
The army he brought had conquered the leaders here through force and goods, and forced the indigenous people here to receive Chinese education.
The natives here could only agree and were willing to exchange their girls for the Ming Dynasty's official army.
Now Zhang Tongchang asked Cao Rong and other civil servants to choose the remaining indigenous girls that their officers and soldiers have already selected.
A criminal scholar named Jin Zushun was exiled to this after writing a post to insult the chief minister Bi Ziyan and deceived the master with evil words.
At this time, because of the overflowing Virgin’s heart, and seeing that Zhang Tongchang was quite polite to these scholars, he plucked up his courage and said, “This is a girl I bought forcibly. What’s the difference between this girl? I’m asking us to choose. It’s really an insult to our scholar’s personality! I won’t choose!”
Zhang Tongchang drew his sword and pointed at an indigenous girl: "Okay! You can not choose, but later, she will be executed because you don't choose! The meaning of this official to let her live is to marry you, and to benefit our Han family to take root and reproduce here! If she doesn't even have this meaning, it will be useless to keep it and waste food in vain."
Jin Zushun's breathing became rapid, so he had to say, "You let her go, I'll choose it!"
Zhang Tongchang came to Cao Rong, the largest official position among these civil servants, before being dismissed, and said: "Cao Qiuyue, do you choose?"
Cao Rong complained: "Since ancient times, I have only heard that there were princesses who were married to relatives, but no scholars who were allowed to marry relatives. Only the Ming Dynasty created this example, which is truly worthy of history."
"This is a false statement! This dynasty is giving scholars the opportunity to practice their Confucian ideas and saving these indigenous girls treated like goods by their fathers and brothers is a just act! Unlike the past, in the past, indigenous marriage was the court at the expense of women for peace, and it was the royal family and the indigenous chiefs who married the indigenous chiefs to eliminate war and oppress their own people. Now, letting scholars educate indigenous people is to save the indigenous people, to make them civilized, to understand etiquette, and to make people from all over the country love each other. This is working hard to achieve the great harmony of the elderly and the elderly, to the elderly and the young of the people! Isn't it great?"
Zhang Tongchang argued.
As a scholar, he was not other military generals, so he allowed these civil servants to talk.
Cao Rong didn't know how to argue for a moment.
But these civil servants were still reluctant to choose these indigenous girls. It was not that they were all noble in character and were not close to women, but that these indigenous girls were not good in appearance.
Some are even as strong as bears.
You should know that the scholars and officials of this era accepted the influence of academic thoughts and were particularly perverted in their preferences for women. They would not say that they had to be full and easy to hold, but they would also be very thin. Otherwise, there would be no mention of Yangzhou thin horses, and they would also have to have very small breasts. Otherwise, many women in this era would not have had breasts.
Now, not only are the native girls in front of you, but their feet are big, and they are very thick, and their chests are even more magnificent than those of Zhang Tongchang, a man who practices chest muscles all year round. The heads of these civil servants in front of you may be suffocated if they are buried in them.
Therefore, these indigenous girls can be said to have not grown into the aesthetic points of these civil servants at all, so they didn't want to choose.
Seeing this, Zhang Tongchang had to instruct: "Since that's the case, transfer the right to choice to the indigenous girls and let them choose their own husbands."
Not long after, these indigenous girls started to act.
These civil servants who were exiled to this place were panicked, like frightened little sparrows.
"No! Don't! It's a shameful way of being a polite person, a shameful way of being a polite person!"
Jin Zushun, who is considered a novice, has just been a hero, so he is very fond of these native girls. Several of them come to steal him, pull him, and twist in front of him in groups of animal skins.
Jin Zusun shouted nervously and scaredly.
Finally, the two ugliest, strongest, tallest and most inferior indigenous girls chose Cao Rong, who was physically disabled, and carried Cao Rong into the tent assigned to them by the official army.
Cao Rong couldn't help but shout: "Excellent shame and great humiliation! Excellent shame and great humiliation! Your Majesty, why do you insult our Scholars so much in order to open up the territory! Woo woo!"
Immediately afterwards, Cao Rong just shouted in the tent: "No! No! Dear sisters, don't do this! I'm very injured and can't move, so don't make things difficult for me!"
...
"Zhang Tongchang and the others have arrived in Beishan. Your Majesty, you are named the estuary of the Huo River. Zhang Tongchang said that it is not completely frozen here and can be opened to navigation. You can build a city and trade here."
Bi Ziyan was talking to Zhu Youxiao about building a city in Beishan.
Zhu Youxiao asked, "Where has the Rakshasa Kingdom (Tsarist Russia) invaded the east?"
Zhu Youxiao has automatically regarded all Siberian regions in the north as an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the movement of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the east in history has been regarded as an act of invasion by him.
"According to the secret report of the Jinyi Guard under my command, the officers and soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom had appeared not far from the Huo River, and conquered the indigenous people there, and built a city called Yakutsk!"
