Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1922, The National Integration of Ming Dynasty
At the beginning of June in the [-]th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, with the scorching sun spreading his enthusiasm wantonly, the entire capital also entered the hottest moment of the year.

Compared with the past, Xincheng Railway Station in the southern part of the capital is more lively. From the trains, a large number of candidates dressed as scholars can be seen coming out in small groups.

Today's Daming, the local train has built a long distance, and candidates from many places can take the train directly to the capital to take the exam, which is very convenient, easy and safe.

Therefore, the train has also become the first choice for many candidates to enter the college entrance examination in Beijing, and candidates in many places have never been on a train, and taking a train is also an experience.

"Haha~ I finally arrived in the capital!"

Zeng Ziying got off the train excitedly, looked at the bustling train station in front of him, and looked very excited.

Starting from Heitu Province, we first rode a horse, then took a boat, and then took a train. It took almost 3 months to walk all the way. It was really a very long journey.

"There are so many people here in the capital, and it's really lively."

Jiang Xi sighed as he looked at the bustling train station.

"Finally, I arrived in the capital smoothly, and the capital is indeed as prosperous and lively as the newspapers said. Tsk tsk, just look at the flow of people here at the station, and you can see how prosperous the capital is. This is the first time I have come to the capital. "

Sun Tianjing also followed suit.

Peter Chen was also very curious, and this was his first visit to the capital.

He had already heard a lot about the prosperity, excitement, and prosperity of the Ming capital, and chatted with many people along the way, talking about how prosperous and lively the capital was.

He has just arrived in the capital, and the train station in front of him is very grand, with a very large flow of people, and it is very lively.

Along the way, Chen Peter also had a very direct impression of the vastness and affiliation of the Ming Empire. The vast plains, continuous snow-capped mountains, barren Gobi, desert, and the prosperity and prosperity of the customs. There are more people who have seen and heard more than the previous 20 years.

When they arrived at the capital, even though they had just arrived, they could already feel the prosperity and prosperity of a powerful imperial capital.

Look at the people in the train station in front of you, all of them are well-dressed, with ruddy complexion and tall stature, and the women are wearing all kinds of beautiful and fashionable clothes, many of them are slightly powdered, and they look much more beautiful than those in other places .

Look at their demeanor again, the arrogance emanating from the invisible, this is the kind of pride that only people from powerful empires have that is imprinted in their bones.

"This is Daming's capital!"

Chen Peter was also slightly excited in his heart, and couldn't help but want to travel around the capital.

"Brother Zeng, Brother Sun, Brother Jiang, Brother Chen~"

At this time, several people dressed as scholars came out and shouted at them.

"Brother Li, Brother Yun, Brother Wang~"

The four also shouted in a hurry.

These three people met when they were in Nanyun Province, and they were also Juren who were going to Beijing to rush for the exam. They also had a good chat on the train, so they also came to Beijing together.

In addition, they all took the imperial examinations in the same year, so they will be in the same year and at the same time in the future. Maybe they will be officials in the same dynasty in the future. According to the urine nature of Ming literati, this relationship is extremely old-fashioned.

But these three people are not pure Daming people.

Li Xiangdong is an authentic Georgian from the local tribe of Nanyun Province. He is tall, with a high nose and deep eyes, but his clothes are no different from those of Ming scholars, and he is holding a fan in his hand.

Yun Tiantian is also an authentic Caucasian from the local tribe of Nanyun Province. He is fair-skinned, tall, with high nose and deep eyes. He is also dressed as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. He is wearing a long gown and holds a fan in his hand. with luggage and books and such.

Wang Xuan is considered half Han. His father was a soldier stationed in Nanyun Province. After retiring, he immigrated and settled in Nanyun Province. He married a wife and took concubines. Concubine.

Because the conditions in the family are quite good, his father made a lot of military exploits back then, and received a lot of land, money and slave rewards. In addition, the Wang family used to be mud-legged, so his father also kept everything in the city. Sent to study, among a dozen brothers, only Wang Xuan was the most promising, and passed the Juren exam in one fell swoop, and this time he also came to the capital to catch up for the exam.

"Let's go, let's go, let's find a place to live, rest, rest, when the time comes, we will march together together. I heard that the capital is the most bustling and lively, and there are many places that must be visited."

"Like the football stadium in Beijing, you must go to a football match, and the theater in Beijing, you must come and listen to a song. There are famous plays from all over the country."

"There is also a zoo. It is said that thousands of animals from all over the world are collected in it, including tigers, lions, elephants and crocodiles. You must go and see it."

Zeng Ziying smiled and said to several people.

"I've heard about it a long time ago, so I must go and see it."

Sun Tianjing also followed suit.

A few people walked out of the train station while talking. When they got out of the train station, a wave of heat came oncoming. Not only was the capital very hot now, but also the prosperity and excitement of the capital.

There are a lot of people in the square outside the railway station, and there are a lot of people gathered. The spacious concrete road is also full of traffic. There are a lot of Mercedes-Benz cars, motorcycles, bicycle factories, rickshaws, and horse-drawn carriages, each walking in a different lane. , The flow is endless and orderly.

The sidewalks on both sides of the road are also in a hurry, there are a lot of people, the shops are also very lively, the business is busy, and the glass on the high-rise buildings reflects the sunlight, which looks very dazzling.

There is also the overpass that is convenient for crossing the road, which looks so fashionable and trendy, and various advertising plaques are also dazzling, making people dazzled.

"It's so lively!"

"As expected of the capital of my Ming Dynasty!"

Li Xiangdong said with a sigh.

"Yeah, it's really very lively. It's far from being comparable to our cities in Nanyun Province. There are too many high-rise buildings, and the roads are neatly planned and very spacious."

Yuntian sighed.

"Masters, do you need a ride?"

At this time, a master with a rickshaw came over and asked with a smile on his face.

Just look at the clothes of Zeng Ziying, Sun Tianjing, and Li Xiangdong. At this time, the Juren masters who came to the capital to rush for the exam, although a few of them looked like barbarians, it was not unusual.

In the imperial examinations in previous years, there were also many candidates from minority tribes. The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory and hundreds of tribes ruled. For the people in the capital, everyone was already used to it.

"Are there many students coming to Beijing to rush for the exam?"

Zeng Ziying looked at the rickshaw drivers around him and asked.

"Yes, yes, a lot of them have come now. Students have already arrived in the capital a few months ago, from all over the country. In a few months, there will be more students."

The master quickly replied.

"Where do you usually live?"

Zeng Ziying asked again.

"Generally, I usually stay at the Daming Royal Hotel. Although it is more expensive, the environment is good and the service is good, and there are many inns next to it. If you don't have enough money, you will choose to live in a relatively cheap one. Inn."

"That area is basically inns, hotels and the like, and it is also the favorite place for students who have taken exams in Beijing over the years to live."

The master said without hesitation.

"Brothers, how about we stay at the Royal Hotel?"

Jiang Xi is rich and powerful. Although he immigrated to Heitu Province, his family background is quite good. He owns tens of thousands of acres of land in Heitu Province, and his family still runs some businesses and businesses.

"Okay~ I have no objection."

Zeng Ziying and Sun Tianjing also nodded and said.

"I heard that the Royal Hotel is quite expensive. I'm short on money, so I'd better stay in a hotel."

Yun Tian thought for a while and said.

He is a Caucasian native of Nanyun Province, and his family is just an ordinary official. It is extremely difficult to train him to study. This time he came to Beijing to take the exam, which almost emptied his family's savings.

Money is very tight, and Li Xiangdong's situation is actually similar, so he nodded and said: "I also heard that this Royal Hotel is very expensive, and it costs two or three taels of silver to stay for one night. I can't afford to live there for a few months."

"The accommodation expenses of the two brothers are mine."

At this time, Peter Chen spoke, speaking very grandly.

He brought a lot of money this time, and his family had already told him that if he wanted to make more friends, it would be nothing at all to give some money.

"What an embarrassment~"

"Yes~"

Li Xiangdong and Yun Tiantian said quickly, while the others all looked at Peter Chen. They didn't expect Peter Chen, who was always reticent, to be so generous.

If this is the accommodation fee for two people, it will be at least a few hundred taels in the past few months, which is also very rich.

"It's just a little yellow and white. Don't worry about it, you two brothers. It's rare for you and I to go to Beijing to take the exam together. It's fate to meet each other. A mere silver tael is nothing to worry about."

Peter Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, since Brother Chen is interested, you two should not refuse any more. Meeting is fate, it's just a little money, don't worry about it."

Zeng Ziying also followed suit.

"Yes, yes, we will live in the Royal Hotel together."

Wang Xuan also followed up and said that his family also gave a lot of money this time, enough for him to eat, drink, and live in the capital in a cool and unrestrained manner.

Those who have been admitted to Juren are basically from quite good family backgrounds, poor scholars, poor scholars, but there has never been a saying that they are poor. Generally speaking, at the stage of Juren, even if the conditions in the family are not good, there will be some Money people are willing to help you.

For example, if you are still young and have not married a wife, many wealthy masters are willing to marry their daughters to you and give you a large dowry.

Generally speaking, at the level of juren, they are already the scholar-bureaucrat class of Ming Dynasty, and they can directly become officials, and they still don't pay attention to a little money.

"This will cost Brother Chen~"

The two thought for a while and thanked Peter Chen.

"A little bit of silver is nothing, let's go, let's go~"

Peter Chen shook his head vigorously and said.

PS: The status of Juren in ancient times should be okay~
