Chapter 949: Spring City
For the Central Plains, Yunnan is an unfamiliar border area, which has been difficult to survive since ancient times, with a lot of rain, humidity, sultry, poisons everywhere, all kinds of barbaric border people, and many strange customs, just like Qiongzhou, which is famous for its exile of political criminals.
There are actually many officials who know Yunnan, but Yunnan in the early years of the Ming Dynasty really could not be compared with the prosperity of the inland, and even if it was well managed, it was far from being comparable to Sichuan, the land of abundance in the neighboring province.
It was in this neglected situation that the Mu family governed Yunnan and made a fortune.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang canonized Qingshuang as the lord of Dali, and Dali City immediately followed the name of the previous dynasty, still called Kunming, and chose a new site to build a new city, Emperor Taizu's intention is intriguing.
Therefore, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not know that Kunming enjoyed the reputation of "Spring City" in later generations, the scenery was as beautiful and charming as the Mu sisters, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Dianchi Lake, the sixth largest freshwater lake in China, the lake and mountains were beautiful, and the natural interest was natural.
Today, Kunming's population is growing rapidly, and the proportion of Han Chinese ranks first among all ethnic groups.
After Zhu Gaosui's unexplained death, the world was shaken, but Xu Hao came to Kunming with his family, and Kunming ushered in the first comprehensive university.
Kunming in November is the tail of the rainy season, like the tail feathers of a peacock, beautiful and colorful.
Behind the campus, on the north side is a dark green mountain with black rocks on the ridge, and there is an unknown number of years old Tiefeng Nunnery on the mountain, with a white exterior wall and a crimson temple in a square circle.
The weather and scenery of Kunming made the Xu family who came here for the first time full of praise, and Cuiliu frequently said that it was no wonder that Qingshuang's girl had to come back every few years, but she didn't expect that there was such a paradise in Yunnan.
In this way, Xu Hao's reason for choosing Kunming for the university is actually because during the Anti-Japanese War, Kunming became one of the important economic, cultural and military towns supporting the frontal battlefield of resistance against Japan, which was due to strategic considerations.
For the first time, there was a real division from elementary school to middle school, high school, and university, and teachers hired a large number of outstanding graduates.
The school is located in the southwest corner of Kunming. With the construction of the campus, snack bars and teahouses have appeared in the surrounding area, and then second-hand bookstores have appeared, as well as small ready-to-wear shops where you can change clothes for customers.
Some local women also set up shops to wash clothes and mend socks.
The Central Plains has entered the winter, and at this moment, Xu Hao is dressed in a single dress, standing on the mountain and looking at the entire Kunming City, the clear sky is clear and blue. The white clouds resemble a delicate stage set illuminated by strong light, giving off a dazzling luster.
A pool of water, a tree, a bird flying in front of you, and a pair of butterflies are all exceptionally bright. Coupled with the smiling beauties around him, they all add a bit of grace to Spring City.
The endless fields are full of delightful farmhouses and straw huts, and countless cattle, horses and poultry are scattered in the fields.
Kunming's qiē is very satisfying to outsiders. The excellent treatment and the unique climate environment make teachers feel at ease to work.
For the first time, a foreign language department appeared in the school, and Xu Hao was determined to train a group of diplomats who were proficient in various Chinese languages. It also pioneered the Department of Society, in the southwest, where various ethnic groups live together. Students have endless border tribes and endless research on customs and customs.
Not to mention the geological department that branched off from Liaodong, the tour group to Xikang and Central Asia has not yet returned. The team led by several professors has found a clover fossil near Haiyuan Temple. One team even set off to Chengjiang to observe the glacier relics.
Biology students used white gauze to catch insects everywhere, and someone found a rare large moth nearby, green and fluffy. Frightened, the locals hurriedly told him: "That's someone else's Gu released, it's about to be released, it's about to be released." ”
The flowery lawn of the school was full of sun-basking students, perhaps because they were seeing a paragraph in the book in their hands, or because they didn't want to end their freehand chat, few of them stood up.
Regardless of gender, most of the students are children of ordinary people, wearing school uniforms provided by the school, and in order to repay their parents who are frugal and provide for their education, they are ten times more diligent and hard-working than the children of rich families.
The women's campus is an independent area, and it is also a holy place for male students, in fact, there is no difference from the men's school in all aspects, Xu Hao will not repair the women's campus beautifully.
The Shen sisters came from Liaodong, and they were college students as soon as the school started, and the history that my sister studied and the economy that my sister studied resolutely ran from one end to the other was absolutely extraordinary courage in this era.
The sisters' parents died early, and their family was destitute, so they sold themselves to Zhu Qiaoqiao to be a girl. Zhu Qiaoqiao saw that the sisters were smart and clever, so he asked them to study, and now they have been studying for four or five years.
When I arrived at the dormitory, my sister Shen Pu saw that the wooden bed was empty, the walls were bare, there was almost no furnishings in the room, and the conditions were not worse than those in Liaodong, so she couldn't help but worry, how to dress up? It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!
My sister Shen Jia was a little uncomfortable, leaving her hometown for the first time, I didn't know who would live in the same house, and the building was quiet, so I couldn't help but feel desolate.
Fortunately, the steady stream of visitors soon dispelled the sisters' discomfort, and this time in order to support Yunnan, Liaodong can be said to have come in a big way, some of them are familiar teachers and classmates.
Not to mention the laughter in the room, the university men's dormitory opposite is a small courtyard side by side, and the thirty-six bedrooms live Zhu Shiqiao, who has a somewhat eccentric personality, and no one knows that his real identity is Zhu Panyan, the eldest son of Zhu Quanyan, the king of Ning.
Zhu Panyan assumed the pseudonym Zhu Shiqiao three years ago, studied at Eastern Liaoning University, and worked too hard throughout the holiday, and many problems could not be solved.
Zhu Shiqiao's hard work is thinking, too many aspects are worth thinking about, which is completely different from the four books and five classics he learned since childhood, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is the real "thinking without learning is dead", and the talent inherited the erudite and talented Ning Wang Zhu Quan.
He is also in the history department, one year lower than Shen Pu, and his exam scores are worse than others, but Shen Pu's notes are what he has always looked down on.
But Shen Pu was busy with his sister's livelihood, and he was busy all day long, just by looking at his notes before the exam, he could get among the best, which made Zhu Shiqiao, who had no worries about food and clothing, have to admire.
The school park without electric lights is pitch black.。 Zhu Shiqiao walked out alone, sitting on a small dirt mountain, the young thinker holding his head in one hand, thinking, as for what to think, no one can guess.
A few students came out to hang lanterns, biology students turned the garden into a vegetable garden, and students from other departments protested, so that the flower garden was mixed with flowers such as cannas, butterfly flowers, and rare vegetables such as tomatoes and red peppers.
The land of Kunming is better than the fertile black soil. With a subtropical climate, abundant rain, and fertile soil, if left alone, all kinds of plants can grow to the height of more than one person. If you are willing to use a little heart, then you don't have to worry about fruits and vegetables all year round on campus.
Interestingly, each flower garden was chartered by male students early, and when walking around the campus, the flowers and plants in front of the dormitory were cleaned up quite like a thing, and the fruit trees were also planted neatly. Girls passing by will know that there must be a hard-working, healthy, patient, and interesting young man in this dormitory.
Zhu Shiqiao lives in dormitory No. 36, and their flower garden is unique and very elegantly maintained. King Ning is also a great gardener in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Shiqiao's family has a family history. I also like to serve flowers and plants, and my skills are more than a step higher than that of biology students.
A male student came over, looked at the flower for a while, and picked one off. While sticking it into his chest, he entered the door and asked, "Are you going to fetch water?" If I don't go, I'll go by myself. ”
"It's okay to look at the thatched house three times, you just asked." The students in the room said again: "Lao Zhu ran out alone again. If you don't wait for me, I'll have to stop drinking water tonight. ”
Outside, when he heard that Zhu Shiqiao was not there, he walked in with confidence, he was afraid that he would be scolded by Zhu Shiqiao, who loved flowers like his life, wearing a big red flower, so he was bold, and asked through the door: "When did Zhu Shiqiao go out?" How do you know if you're alone? ”
"Today I helped Mr. clean up the classroom, and a few of us came back together, and then he went out alone, and the others went to play separately after a while, and I stayed in the house to do the work by myself."
"Needlework again? How do you look like a girl? Come out and have a look, I'll invite you another daughter, haha! ”
The students in the room were suddenly anxious and hurried out, the socks they were sewing in their hands were still on their left hands, and a needle tied to the silk thread was swinging underneath, flashing and flashing.
As soon as they came out, they saw the other party pluck another of their flowers, stomped their feet and said, "Little boy! Yesterday I told you that you can't pick any more flowers, that was thirty-three flowers in thirty-three days, and now it is thirty-one, what do you say? ”
As his name suggests, Tong Xiaoxian always has a smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "Win it!" How come you are the same as the White Lotus Sect, with an evil spirit, what thirty-three days? I tell you that since the Tang Dynasty, the entrance examination is to take the middle, according to our Shandong dialect is the meaning of can, take the middle after the praise of the street to pick flowers, take an auspicious meaning. ”
"That's it, sooner or later, these flowers will have to be destroyed by your hands."
"It's better for me to have one flower a day than to let the flowers die, and these flowers won't survive the next month anyway."
The student in the house is named Li Jiezhong, a few years older than Tong Xiaoxian, his ancestors are from Hebei, and he was born outside the Guan. Liaodong people are generally open-minded and tall, although he loves flowers very much like Zhu Shiqiao, he tries his best to care for flowers and plants when they grow, and gives a variety of names, the flower garden is his painstaking effort, and he is full of homesickness.
But once the flowers are picked, he doesn't care, the so-called past things are not investigated, and the regrets that have been exhausted are never sad.
Li Zhizhong was extremely thoughtful, and when he saw Tong Xiaoxian's first flower casually inserted in his left breast pocket, he took off the socks he was holding, took the second flower in his hand, and pinched the two flowers together. Plug it in carefully.
"Don't keep telling me to be crooked, be careful of Shiqiao scolding you. Putting aside the logic you don't understand, you only scored 60 points in the logic test last year, I still remember it. Let's go, fetch water. ”
Li Zhizhong wrapped the unfinished socks into a ball, threw them on the bed in the house, and pulled Tong Xiaoxian away. (To be continued......)
