The first batch of merchant ships to follow Zhao Kuangjue to sea had already returned to Palembang.

They not only earned food freight, but also sold it to the Dutch in Ceylon with spices, porcelain, tea and other goods. When they returned, they were loaded with cotton, ivory, gems and other goods brought back from India (and Ceylon).

Guangdong's maritime merchants went to Palembang to trade, bringing these Indian goods back to the mainland, and by the way, they brought them back to Zhao Kuangyu's immigration policy.

Zhao Kuangyu's old classmate Fang Zixin was sent back to collect immigrants in Guangzhou. Not only did he spread news along the coast, he also spread the immigration policy to Jiangxi through inland freighters.

The first batch of large-scale immigrants came from the Bapai Yao area. Zhao Kuangyu's cousin brought more than 600 people, more than 80% of whom were Yao people who were well-versed in Chinese.

Immediately afterwards, Hakka people in the southern Gan Mountains heard from merchants who came to buy tobacco that they could get paddy fields when they went to India, and they could receive a settlement fee before going to sea. Some Hakka people in the mountains were moved, and nearly a hundred people went to Fang Zixin, who went to Guangzhou to report.

Continue to go north and the people of Ji'an Prefecture receive news.

This is Zhao Han’s place of success, and it is also the place where the entire Jiangxi has the largest population, the most tight land, and the most introverted imperial examinations!

The prosperity of Ji'an Prefecture is no less than that of Nanchang Prefecture. Especially with the rise of maritime trade, a large number of Jiangxi commodities came down from Ji'an Prefecture along the Gan River and passed through Guangdong to coastal ports. This place is more prosperous than during the Ming Dynasty.

Within half a year, two hundred people went south to Guangzhou to find Fang Zixin to sign up for overseas travel.

More than 95% of these two hundred immigrants from Ji'an graduated from primary schools and more than 60% are middle school dropouts. They are willing to go to India, and the distribution of land is second to go to be officials!

The competition here is too fierce.

In this time and space, there were more than 80 top scholars in the Ming Dynasty, of which 12 top scholars came from Ji'an. Especially in the 80 years from Jianwen to Chenghua, the top scholars from Ji'an Prefecture accounted for one-third. In the second year of Jianwen, Ji'an Prefecture won the top scholar, Tanhua and the second-tier. Zhu Di took the lead and took the first imperial examination, Ji'an Prefecture won the top seven.

There are five top scholars in Jishui County, Ji'an Prefecture, within ten miles.

Before the new Datong Dynasty was established, Ji'an Prefecture was the first to carry out compulsory education. Thanks to the excellent imperial examination tradition, the poor people in the mountains here even sold their children to study. The dropout rate in primary school is the lowest in the country. Any young people on the street will most likely get their primary school diploma.

However, the number of public-funded students in middle schools is limited, and those who can go to middle schools for public-funded students are all the top students who have made a fortune from it. There are countless students who pay for their own money in middle schools, and there are even couriers at the dock, eating braised vegetables for children to attend middle schools at their own money.

The quota for public-funded college students is also limited, and the tuition fees for self-funded students are extremely high.

Therefore, a large number of middle school graduates emerge every year in Ji'an Prefecture. After all, there are a few who can pass the exam, and the rest can only find a job by themselves.

I heard that King Jin founded a country in India and became an official when scholars went there. The group of scholars in Ji'an Prefecture caused a sensation.

If India hadn't been too far away, there would probably be more than 200 people who signed up for the sea. Even if the destination was changed to Nanyang, there would probably be thousands of applicants, and the long sea route scared away most of the people who were attracted to it.

In the past, Zhao Kuangjue has not short of officials for the time being, and they are all treasures!

When these two hundred Ji'an scholars successfully arrived in India and settled down. Some of them would write letters and send money home, while others would simply take their families away. After a few years, the demonstration effect was completed, and more scholars would be willing to go out to sea.

Once you go, you can become an official, get two years of paddy fields a year, and you can also have wives and concubines and slaves everywhere. If this information is spread, it is simply a paradise for scholars who cannot pass the exam and are not satisfied with working in a trading company.

Perhaps in a few years, with the addition of a large number of scholars, Zhao Kuangju will be able to completely rule Kanmei City. At that time, with Taiwu City and Kanmei City as the center, colonizing the territory of the two counties at the same time, the expansion speed will inevitably double.

Zhao Kuangjue obtained a high-quality population, and Ji'an Prefecture alleviated the conflicts between people and land and the employment pressure of scholars. A win-win situation!

Maybe after someone immigrated, he would take the whole family and the young.

For example, the father is a dock coolie, the mother is a housewife who works odd jobs to subsidize the family income, and there are a lot of brothers and sisters in the family. Their children are officials and land distribution in Jin State, so they must immigrate to the whole family. The parents enjoy the happiness of the village and the old man and the old lady, a bunch of Shudras, and the servants of the untouchables. The brothers may have a low level of education, but they are more than enough to manage tenants, so they don’t have to let soldiers manage the village and community. Just choose a prestigious Han village chief.

Decades later, the lower-class families of Ji'an Prefecture can become local tribes in India.

The only one who is really troubled is Li Quan. This guy’s American immigration plan has always been difficult to get started. In the past, ordinary people immigrated to Southeast Asia, but now there is an additional Indian choice. It is not just a full meal. Who would want to go to the Americas to explore?

Li Quan could only rely on high profits to attract more maritime merchants to do business in the Americas. He relied on high wages to attract the people to be a crew member for him. As for immigration, he had to rely on the court and charity several serious prisoners to exile.

Today, Datong China has ushered in a real period of population outbreak.

Many children born in the new dynasty can make a fuss. The society is stable, the food and clothing are enough, and the school children of the right age are crowded with schools.

Three years of compulsory education have long been unable to continue.

Now, not only does there not be free lunch, but also has to pay book fees, and some states and counties have even started to charge miscellaneous fees. The purpose is to reduce the number of enrollment, otherwise there will be insufficient classrooms.

The court turned a blind eye to this.

However, the court repeatedly emphasized that book fees should not be charged forcibly, and school children can bring their own books.

Local officials are also a little conscientious. Children who cannot afford tuition and fees can stand outside the classroom and listen and have a student status. Once they find the students with excellent grades, all fees will be waived and put them in the classroom to listen to the lectures so that these poor test-workers can study with peace of mind.

Zhao Han’s compulsory education policy has entered an embarrassing state. As the population continues to increase, the situation will be even worse in the future. The number of children who have not attended primary school for a day will become more and more.

As the saying goes, the backward productivity of agricultural society cannot support the advanced education system at all.

...

The second prince Zhao Kuangyu made a great success in India, and the third prince Zhao Kuangping also graduated from university.

Zhao Kuangping and the prince’s mother were both born to Fei Rulan.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangping has good academic performance and has more than two brothers in his exams. He has obtained a university diploma entirely by relying on his strength. Next, he can even take the exam, and maybe he can become an official as a Jinshi - the premise is to give up his title.

By the way, the second prince was awarded the title of King of Jin and the third prince was awarded the title of King of Chu.

King Zhao Kuangping of Chu was obviously not stupid. Could it be that the good prince was not good enough to be released and started as a small official?

Of course, in order to prove himself, he decided to take part in this year's examination. He also said hello to his father in advance, and he only took the exam but not became an official. He asked the Ministry of Rites to admit one more place to the Jinshi, so as not to cause a certain scholar to fail the exam because of himself.

Ministry of Rites and Tribute Court.

After ten days of marking the papers, this year's list of tribute scholars has finally been released.

The Ministry of Rites is only responsible for organizing examinations and is not allowed to participate in invigilating examinations or reviewing papers. The Minister of Rites Wang Ding was in a hurry to ask about the situation: "Have the King of Chu passed the exam?"

The person in charge of the review of the papers was the Right Censor of the Inspectorate. He replied with a smile: "The King of Chu passed the exam, and he ranked among the top, and he ranked 142nd. In addition, a female tribute member was Zou Huaiyu from Jishui County this year."

Wang Diaoding sighed: "The Zou family is a prominent family in Jishui. Although the main sect was searched by His Majesty, he did not expect that another female Jinshi would be produced in the other branch."

It is normal for the first female Jinshi of Datong to come from Jishui County, but it is from a large clan whose house was confiscated, which makes him feel a little incompatible with Zhao Han. Of course, Emperor Zhao is generous and will not make things difficult for a little girl.

In addition to the tribute school, the tribute scholar list is posted.

Zhao Kuangping and Zou Huaiyu were particularly conspicuous because the Ministry of Rites used red pens to indicate their identities when making the list.

Behind Zhao Kuangping's name, there is a red circle with the word "King of Chu" written on it. Behind Zou Huaiyu's name, there is a red circle with the word "Female".

The list was posted, and the scene was thrilled.

Zou Huaiyu was wearing a Confucian shirt, with a long sword slanted around her waist, looking at her name with a smile. Not only did she pass the imperial examination, she was also ninth in the tribute list, which was much more than the 100 titles of the King of Chu.

"Are there female tribute?"

"Who is the female husband? Can you stand up and talk?"

"I dare to ask where this female student is? I want to ask for advice."

“…”

Voices came one after another, and everyone was asking about the news about the female tribute.

When Zou Huaiyu graduated from high school, she was admitted to a public-funded student at Jinling University. But her family was worried that her daughter would leave, so she stayed at Nanchang University to study, so she was really not well-known in Nanjing.

Candidates from Nanchang University naturally recognized Zou Huaiyu and came to greet him and congratulate him.

When others saw it, they shouted: "The female tribute is here, the female tribute is here!"

Not only the candidates, but also the people watching the fun gathered around, wanting to see with their own eyes what the first female Jinshi in this dynasty looked like.

Zou Huaiyu's appearance is not outstanding, not very beautiful, and not ugly, and she is considered ordinary. But she is wearing a Confucian shirt and a long sword hanging on her waist. She stands there with a heroic look and a halo of a female Jinshi, and she looks so dazzling at this moment.

"What a talented woman, she looks extraordinary."

"I dare to ask if my daughter has been married. Although my son failed this year, he can continue to be an imperial examination. Even if he fails the imperial examination, he can still be an official in the prefecture. I have more than ten trading companies in my family, covering all provinces in the north and south. If the female daughter is willing to marry, she can be at ease to become an official in the future without worrying about money."

"This female-same year, all of us have passed the exam and are planning to go to Xuanwu Lake to celebrate the cultural event. Can we participate together with you?"

“…”

Faced with the messy inquiry, Zou Huaiyu bowed and said, "Although I have not gotten married, I have already had a marriage contract. After the palace examination, I went home to get married." He also said, "I have to go back to the inn to prepare for the palace examination. I will not participate in any social engagements, and I will let you down the kindness of the same year."
