The effects of smallpox on Changsheng County gradually faded, and although the pox caused some deaths, those who survived no longer had to fear smallpox, and in the end, gratitude was much greater than hatred.

Production gradually resumed, and the Chinese Literature Hall was further expanded, with 23 Chinese language teachers and 270 Chinese registered practitioners in the Changsheng County School alone.

Their lectures were not only in the school, but also in the sawmill construction site, in the dense jungle, in the sweaty corn fields and in the scorching brick kilns, which was a real part-time work and study, and through the mouths of more than 400 tribal leaders, everyone knew that learning Chinese was an opportunity to change their fate.

Those Chinese language registration practitioners are not actually Han Chinese, they are the first people to learn Chinese in this land, for example, when it comes to the long-legged bear from Zhuangyuanqiao who studied in the Chinese Literature Hall in Changsheng County.

His main occupation here is a potter apprentice, following the master to learn brick and tile firing, a month salary of Wanli Tongbao 2,000, higher than other apprentices 1,400, 2 taels of silver.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, this income is relatively high among ordinary people, and it can ensure that food and clothing are worry-free.

The extra 1,400 tongbao is divided into three parts, 600 is the salary of a part-time professor of Chinese for a brick factory worker, and the remaining 400 is a reward for his ability to listen and speak Chinese and be more handy in work and study; The other 400 is a bonus for his skillful and down-to-earth work.

There are 270 natives like Long-legged Bear in Changsheng County, and their talents and jobs are different, but the same is that no matter what they do, they learn faster, and they can get more bonuses than others, and naturally they are more respected by others.

What makes them respected is not these papers printed with Wanli Tongbao, but these papers allow them to have more.

They can go in and out of the Qingliangju teahouse, listen to those Beiyang generals improvise a children's book, although gritted their teeth to buy a pot of green tea, but the long-legged bear also tried to tell a book, the story of the decisive battle between his tribal leader Zheng Tu and the Spaniards, and received full applause, the feeling of being eye-catching was so good, even those Beiyang banner soldiers on leave applauded him.

Not only did he have a Jinghai suit, but he also ordered a light blue gown from a tailor's shop, which was usually worn only by those nobles who did not need to work in the fields among the Ming immigrants, although the fabric was not of good texture and did not have those low-key and luxurious dark lines, but the long-legged bear was already very satisfied.

He was not a local, and he did not catch the good opportunity of the imperial court to repair houses for the people, so he rented a house in the south of the county at the price equivalent to a small cup of tea, and took the small Mongolian horse he had obtained in the earlier battle to live in.

In fact, he was given an Andalusian horse, a tall horse of the Spaniards, and he and two warriors of the bridge worked together to kill the spoils of the Spanish light cavalry, one of them was trampled by the horse, and the other was cut by the sword, and the armor and sword of the light cavalry were divided, and he took the horse.

Because he already had his own armament, which came from the reward of the tribal leader Zheng Tu, a set of heavy cotton iron armor and helmet of the Ming Liaodong Army, and a well-made Ming waist knife.

His booty was favored by the cavalry captain named Hulan under the command of Beiyang Ma Shuai, who exchanged a Mongolian war horse for the Andalusian horse at the price of teaching equestrianism, and the deal was very suitable.

In Asia, he could no longer find such a superb rider to teach riding skills, not to mention that this horse from the 'Shunyi Wang tribe of the Ming Dynasty' was an excellent military horse, with hooves as hard as iron, and he could walk on any terrain without even hanging his palm.

In the small courtyard he rented, another family from Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, a family of seven, the older uncle can still work in the field over sixty years old, and the farmer sits in the courtyard while enjoying the shade under the tree, and the long-legged bear once thought that the old man's food for the cool is sugarcane burritos, and felt deep doubts about it.

Why do people from the Central Plains eat sugarcane without spitting slag?

It wasn't until he tasted it that he knew that the white vegetable was called green onions, and after asking for advice, the long-legged bear learned the most correct and authentic way to eat green onion burritos, and listened to the old man and god saying that the best green onions in the world were born in Shandong, which was a delicious food that could eat a sweet taste, but not here, the sunshine was too full, and it was a little bitter.

But the long-legged bear can only taste the spicy, and the first few times he ate it, he was spicy and weeping, but after only half a month, he can already sit side by side with the old man in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and eat the green onion burrito happily.

I heard that the eldest son is a county official in Shandong, and the second son is a talent, so he obeyed his brother's instructions to come here to join the Oriental Military Government.

The old man said that there was a well-made handcuff called 'law' hanging on the table of the county government, and it was ordered to prohibit all officials from embezzlement, and once it was found that the property was confiscated, the person was killed, but on the contrary, the military government allocated the land to the officials and asked them to hire people to cultivate, for example, the county master has 200 acres of land, six people are allowed to be hired, and there is a summer subsidy of 500 tongbao a month.

The long-legged bear has a very comfortable life in Changsheng County, going in and out of the Han Literature Hall, the brick kiln and the Qingliangju, and some time ago, a tribal leader in the south came to the door to propose marriage, hoping to recruit him as a son-in-law in accordance with the rules of the Ming Dynasty, but the long-legged bear did not agree.

It's not that he looks down on the leader, it's not that he doesn't like the girl, he looks down on everyone in his country, that's what the teachers of the Chinese Literature Hall teach, which is completely different from what the Spaniards do.

Those teachers said that if a person looks down on his own blood, his own people, no one in this world will respect him.

Those teachers also said that whether a person can be respected by others does not depend on his deliberate please, wagging his tail and begging, nor on what color of bird he wears, but on what kind of person he is, what kind of talent and future he has, and the Ming Dynasty has given them the opportunity to learn their talents and a bright future, which is the foundation of their respect.

This was not said by the teachers, those teachers were all gentle and elegant scholars from the Ming Dynasty, but because this was the original words of an Asian scripture and ordered them to tell everyone who studied Chinese, there was such a relatively vulgar teaching.

This is also the confidence of the long-legged bear to refuse the marriage contract, because 'the people of Daming should not be arrogant', he believes that his learning ability and talent can make a difference in Daming Asia, and he can rely on his ability to become a respected person.

Just like those people from the Central Plains, they get a piece of their own land through the government here, and they have everything through their hands.

Maybe in the future, it will be his turn to go to that tribe to propose, also according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, but it will not be a compliment, because at that time, he must have created his own wealth.

It didn't take long for his chance to come.

The old man in the courtyard said that there are many immigrant villages that do not have teachers, and the government is recruiting local people who are proficient in Chinese to be teaching assistants, and go to remote villages to assist teachers in opening Chinese literature halls.

The long-legged bear packed his bags one night, hired a sturdy hunter of his clan with seven hundred tongbao to put on his armor as a guard, mounted the Mongolian war horse, put on a capable Jinghai suit, and set out with an order from the Changsheng County Government.
