Finally, one hundred counties were selected, and each county sent ten to one Confucian scholar.

Among them, Yunnan and Guizhou occupy more than 300, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi also occupy more than 200, Qin and Jin dynasties and Liaodong account for more than 100, and other provinces include barren areas such as Huguang and Yunyang Prefecture, Nangan and western Zhejiang.

Not only these Confucian scholars, but their families had to be driven to these remote areas, and all their original property was confiscated, while these Confucian scholars had to learn to make a living in the exile.

Of course, the court will also give you a certain salary, but this is related to whether you are diligent in teaching. If you only know how to sigh and sing, you can only eat porridge and even starve to death. If you teach hard, you will even have a salary of several times more than the magistrate.

Moreover, in order to encourage these exiled Confucian scholars to actively participate in the education cause of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjiao gave extra grace, and if someone could educate a student in the local area, he could be allowed to return home.

If a Jinshi can be educated, he can be awarded an official position of no less than the seventh rank. If the top scholar is trained, he can even be transferred directly to Beijing.

Of course, since the purpose is to popularize education rather than pursue elites, it is taught that twenty children or ten scholars are the same as one candidate, fifty children or thirty scholars are the same as one Jinshi, and one hundred children or fifty scholars are the same as the second-level Tanhua No. 100 children or fifty scholars are the same as the second-level Tanhua No. 1.

Many years later, these Confucian scholars will appear in underdeveloped areas where only one or two Jinshi can be produced every year or even several years. The latter standard is less difficult than the former.

Because Wang Siren was famous in Shaoxing, Li Mingrui met him in person. Although the meeting between the two was not friendly, Li Mingrui still kindly told him that the place where he wanted to teach was Kuizhou Prefecture, and he went to Taiping County, Kuizhou Prefecture to be a teacher.

Taiping Prefecture belongs to Suiding Prefecture, with a total population of less than a town in Jiangnan, and most of them are Tujia people. Not to mention that they were allowed to take the imperial examination and Jinshi, even reading and literacy was extremely difficult to accomplish.

Wang Siren sighed. He felt that he was going to die in a foreign land. He asked the officers and soldiers named escorts to let him go to Shanyin to bid farewell to his ancestors before setting off for the mountainous area in eastern Sichuan.

Under the care of Li Mingrui, the officers and soldiers who escorted him agreed to his request. Wang Siren did not enter the city when he arrived in Shanyin County. Instead, he held a handful of soil outside the city and put it in his purse bag. He raised his hand and said, "Put on the shackles."

The officers and soldiers put shackles on him, but the shackles were not heavy, and even literati like Wang Siren could not stand the heavy shackles.

After crossing the Yangtze River, sitting in a ox cart across the Jingchu Plain, and then entering the western Hunan territory, Wang Siren's shackles were released. The reason why he no longer wore shackles was because he had to walk like a monkey and walk with all his legs.

Wang Siren took such a difficult journey and took almost half a month to enter the depths of the mountains in eastern Sichuan. Looking at the endless mountains and green forests, while tired, he suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in living in seclusion in the deep mountains and studying with peace of mind.

Although Wang Siren was exiled, he was famous all over the world, and the magistrate who came from Bagong naturally welcomed him ten miles away.

But when he entered the county town, he found that in the county town made of stones, except for more than a dozen chicken feather shops, it was just a county government office, but it was very declining, and it was just a blue brick wall. For the local people, most of them spoke dialects that Wang Siren could not understand. Now the only ones who could talk to him were the county magistrates and a few elders.

Great scholars such as Chen Jiru also encountered such problems. Only then did they understand why His Majesty spared their lives, because staying in this place where birds do not shit was more uncomfortable than death. Not to mention teaching and educating people, you can't communicate with the locals, and loneliness is the biggest enemy.

Some Confucian scholars began to get sick shortly after this, and in this remote area, there was naturally no medical treatment, and some died of depression.

Some Confucian scholars began to grit their teeth and lower their figures to get close to the locals. Every household visited them and persuaded local people to send their children to study. They also integrated into the local area in two or three months. When the school opened for teaching, more than ten children entered school.

In this way, among the cliffs, under the canopy of trees, and in the most mysterious area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, there was finally the sound of Lang reading aloud.

Popularizing education and breaking the monopoly of knowledge by scholars and officials can allow more poor families to participate in social construction and make the entire society more active. At the same time, it can also assimilate the ethnic minorities in these places through cultural output, and it will naturally be much easier to change the land and return to the current situation in the future.

However, this is just the beginning, and the process of promoting Chineseization is a long-term process.

Zhu Youxiao does not want to be in this world. The Chinese-speaking world has been surrounded by the English-speaking world hundreds of years later.

For pedantic but not reactionary celebrities such as Wang Siren, Zhu Youxiao did not kill them, and used their knowledge to make some contributions to the Ming Dynasty. However, for Chen Mingxia, Fang Dayou, Mao Pijiang and others, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to let go of the planners and instigators in this march.

In addition, the hateful officials who violated their will of the emperor and even secretly contradicted and constrained, but were also domineering outside, such as Yingtian Governor Wang Wenkui, would naturally be subject to severe punishments, otherwise it would not be enough to intimidate the Jiangnan officialdom, and royal capital would be difficult to enter the Jiangnan market.

Moreover, the big door of the East Factory also conducted a strict interrogation of the scholars and other evildoers such as Chen Mingxia and Wang Wenkui, forcing them to confess more people, regardless of whether the person they confessed was true or false. According to Zhu Youxiao's intention, it was to eliminate all possible reactionary forces.

For a time, the people from the East Factory did not rest for a moment because of the end of the parade. The major gentry who thought they were glad that they escaped were arrested and then continued to torture and bit another group of them. It was not until Zhu Youxiao's sacrifice to the Xiaoling Mausoleum that the arrest was announced to be over.

As a result, almost all the literati groups in Jiangnan were arrested and almost devastatingly hit. Most of them were exiled to promote education in underachieving areas, and a few who were guilty of extreme crimes were directly executed.

As for the evils as Wang Wenkui, Chen Mingxia, etc., Zhu Youxiao wanted to take extreme measures when sacrificing Xiaoling Mausoleum to respect the spirit of Emperor Taizu and Gao.

...

The arrest and exile of a large number of gentry did not cause much damage to the economy of the Jiangnan region.

After suppressing the march, Zhu Youzhao issued an order to Governor Yingtian, ordering Governor Yingtian not only to give preferential treatment to the people, but also to appropriately compensate the losses of major shops and workshops in Jiangnan. After all, these businesses are the basis for maintaining the livelihood of the people in Jiangnan.

Zhu Youxiao could crack down on the industries of big landlords and big gentry, but these medium and low-scale industries should be protected. He Changqing, the right governor of Nanzhili, who temporarily served as governor Yingtian, was also capable and soon came up with a compensation method.

The compensation amount is tentatively set to one million silver dollars. Any commercial store registered with the Ministry of Revenue or Nanjing Ministry of Revenue can come to Nanjing Ministry of Revenue to sign a compensation agreement with a registration license, and obtain compensation amounts and compensation ratios of varying amounts based on the scale of the industry and commercial categories.

The proportion that is beneficial to the people and the country is naturally high, the proportion that is harmless and unhealthy is low, and the proportion that is harmful and unhealthy is even lower.
