Chapter 627
At this moment, Ding Xiuqing's mind was blank, and the number '420 seven' lingered in her heart like a curse.

I don't know how long it took before he gradually came back to his senses.

"It's unbelievable, how did the nine counties of Penglai do it?"

Yu Zhongxiu said proudly:

"88 years ago, the sect moved to the south, pulling the mountains and crossing the sea to establish Penglai.

The first thing we did at that time was to build 310 Dayan Academy Palaces, and now the number of Academy Palaces has increased to [-].

Since the school was built, children have been admitted for free for more than 80 years.

Now you should understand how Penglai Nine Counties did it. "

Ding Xiuqing stared at Yu Zhongxiu in a daze. Although he knew the answer, he didn't want to believe it.

After a long time, he said again:

"Are you a disciple of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect'?"

Yu Zhongxiu shook his head regretfully, sighed softly and said:

"No! The sect is not that easy to enter, but the people of the Nanzong are also the people of the Nanzong, there is no difference."

It was the first time Ding Xiuqing met someone who had such a sense of identification with the sect.

In Kunzhu Mountain, people are used to addressing practitioners as fairy elders, which is a kind of respectful title, but it also represents distance.

Looking at Yu Zhongxiu's appearance, it is obvious that she is very proud of being a member of the Southern Sect.

'80 years'

Ding Xiuqing had mixed feelings in her heart, and a trace of superiority silently disappeared from the bottom of her heart.

'Yes!The life expectancy of ordinary people is at most 80 years. Does this mean that everyone in the nine counties of Penglai is now literate, except for children under the age of seven. '

He couldn't help looking at Shi Ziyu and Shi Zihui.

Thinking of the performance of the two children just now, if they were said to be illiterate, Ding Xiuqing would dare to take his head off and bet against others.

Yu Zhongxiu saw a clue from Ding Xiuqing's expression, and said with a smile:

"This statistic does not count children under the age of ten.

The reason why there are still more than 400 illiterate people is because these people are actually residents who have just settled here from other places. "

Ding Xiuqing understood, this obviously refers to people like herself.

Yu Zhongxiu continued:
"The number of people in the nine counties of Penglai is now saturated, and the censorship of outsiders is much stricter. It is already very difficult to settle here.

Only those with certain abilities can pass the examination and obtain temporary residence permission in a short period of time.

Most of these illiterate people are such people and their families.

But after living for three years, a basic test is required. If you still cannot recognize [-] characters, your temporary residence permission will be cancelled.

For ordinary people, it is even more strict. Only if they have not violated the law within ten years can they settle down in the local area. "

Ding Xiuqing felt the pressure instantly, she never thought that it would be so difficult to live here.

I am not alone, there are grandmother and sister to take care of, what should they do?
Can't help but ask:
"In a situation like Xiaosheng, can sister-in-law also enter the palace to study?"

Yu Zhongxiu looked at Ding Xiulian and said regretfully:

"The Academy is a benefit that the sect gives to the local people, so..."

Ding Xiuqing's heart sank, this is not good news.

He has a clear understanding of this. Even if he can settle in the nine counties of Penglai ten years later, the difference between his sister and women of the same age will be unimaginable.

Don't talk about finding a good husband, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get married.

But I heard Yu Zhongxiu say:
"However, if there are people from the nine counties as guarantors, they can obtain temporary authority in advance.

I would like to help you find someone to be a guarantor, but what about Ding Xianggong? "

Hearing this, Ding Xiuqing was not only not happy, but suddenly became vigilant.

If you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal. This is an ancient teaching.

Seeing that he was silent, Yu Zhongxiu understood his concerns and explained with a smile:
"The reason why I am willing to be your guarantee is that I have conditions."

Hearing this, Ding Xiuqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Being able to talk about the problems on the surface made him feel more at ease, and he arched his hands.

"Appreciate further details!"

Yu Zhongxiu looked Ding Xiuqing up and down, and suddenly said:

"Ding Xianggong should be a scholar, right?"

Ding Xiuqing smiled proudly, puffed out her chest, was about to speak, but then thought of something and bent down again.

"Exactly, but Xiaosheng is from Kunzhu Mountain, so I don't know if it is recognized here."

Yu Zhongxiu said softly:
"There are many situations like Ding Xianggong in the nine counties, so there is no need to worry about it, and there will be half a year of running-in.

For half a year, Ding Xianggong can go to the academy to listen to the lectures. After half a year, if he passes the assessment, he can join the three-year special talent as a candidate. "

'Woo~~! '

Ding Xiuqing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is a chance, he is still very confident in his learning ability.

Then Yu Zhongxiu glanced at Ding Huangshi.

"There are many people with relatives like Ding Xianggong. Because the elderly are less able to learn, our department changed the regulations 20 years ago, and the elderly over 60 years old do not need to take the literacy test."

After listening to Yu Zhongxiu's words just now, Ding Huang's heart has been uneasy all the time, and now he is finally relieved.

Then Yu Zhongxiu said to Ding Xiuqing:

"There are three reasons why I am willing to guaranty for you.

One is that Ding Xianggong is a scholar, he can read and write, and he can quickly integrate into the nine counties, the other is because he brings relatives, and generally speaking, he will not easily violate the laws of the nine counties, and the third is."

Yu Zhongxiu smiled and turned to look at Ding Xiulian.

"It's because of this little girl."

Ding Xiuqing glanced at her sister, a little confused.

Yu Zhongxiu explained:
"Our sect has a decree to encourage childbearing. When a woman becomes an adult, she will be rewarded accordingly for having children."

Ding Xiuqing's complexion changed, and she said in a deep voice:

"Ms. Shi kindly accepts, Xiaosheng doesn't need others to be a guarantee."

Yu Zhongxiu knew that Ding Xiuqing had misunderstood, and said:

"Ding Xianggong may have misunderstood, let me explain the decree of my family to Ding Xianggong."

As she spoke, she explained in detail the laws and regulations of the nine counties to encourage births.

After finishing these words, he said:
"Guarantee is a responsibility, a household can only guarantee one person within a year, and guaranteeing one person requires three households to guarantee.

If the guarantor violates intermediate legal acts within ten years, the guarantor will bear part of the joint liability, and the credit will be reduced.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one is willing to guarantee for strangers. "

After pondering for a moment, Yu Zhongxiu continued:
"Mr. Ziyu Ding also saw it. He is considered smart among his peers. I want to make a child marriage for the two children, so that it will be convenient for me to find someone to be a guarantor."

After a short pause, Yu Zhongxiu said again:

"Of course the future is unpredictable, if the two of you don't want to get married in the future.

No matter what the reason is, before the two of you, you and I can unilaterally cancel this marriage contract at any time.

I don't know what Ding Xianggong thinks? "

Ding Xiuqing finally figured out Yu Zhongxiu's intention.

After thinking for a moment in my heart, I felt that if this was the case, we could get married temporarily.

Shi Ziyu has a good appearance, and with a mother like Yu Zhongxiu, her character should not be bad.

If it was in Kunzhu Mountain, how many people would miss such an outstanding disciple.

What's more, if this kid is not suitable for his sister in the future, he can cancel the marriage contract, which is a way out.

But he also understands that a marriage contract is a double-edged sword.

In the future, if the children of both parties have no obvious faults, whoever breaks the contract first will definitely be cast aside by the world.

This applies not only to oneself, but also to the other party.

Therefore, even though his heart had moved, he still felt a little puzzled.

I always feel that Yu Zhongxiu seems a little impatient.

Can not help asking:

"Madam Shi, the child is still young, why is Madam so urgent?"

Yu Zhongxiu sighed:
"Ding Xianggong didn't know about it, because of some reasons."

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky, Ding Xiuqing looked along her finger, but saw the roof of the car above, and didn't understand what Yu Zhongxiu meant.

"There is nothing wrong with this decree itself, but because of someone's reasons, the system of one husband and two wives was established.

Therefore, some teapots are not suitable for tea cups! "

The resentment in the words almost toppled the roof of the car.

Ding Xiuqing finally understood the reason, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.

There are also many legends about Kunzhu Mountain in the nine counties of Penglai. At the beginning, 200 million people pulled the mountain into the sea and everyone regarded it as a miracle.

Before, he wondered how it took decades for the population to increase so much according to the nine counties' decree on encouraging births.

After a long time, it turned out to be because of such a reason.

I couldn't help being a little curious, and asked with a smile:

"Who is this certain person?"

Yu Zhongxiu could no longer maintain her dignified demeanor, her brows were raised upside down, and she said airily:
"Who else can it be? The head of this sect, Ruyi Zhenjun, this color embryo has married two wives. It is difficult to formulate rules, so the system of one husband and two wives is stipulated."

Ding Xiuqing's smile froze on her face, and a heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Ding Huang's expression on the side also changed drastically, and he hurriedly said:
"Girl! Don't talk nonsense if you offend the elder!"

Seeing the expressions of the two, Yu Zhongxiu suddenly realized that they were not from Nine Counties, and they didn't know much about some things.

Outline explained:
"It's okay, this is all disclosed in the Dibao, and the nine counties of Penglai are not convicted of speech."

Then he added:

"As long as it's not spreading rumors, you can safely say anything that has appeared in the mansion newspaper."

Only then did Ding Xiuqing let go of her heart. Anyone who dared to comment on the faults of practitioners in Kunzhu Mountain would be questioned.

At the same time, he was more curious. The Nine Counties of Penglai seemed to be different from all the places he had heard or seen.

I feel that people here live very relaxed, free, and autonomous.

And there were feelings he couldn't put into words.

After pondering for a moment, Ding Xiuqing asked:
"What is Dibao?"

He has heard Yu Zhongxiu mention the mansion report several times, and he is very interested in this thing that can comment on Yuanshen Zhenjun wantonly.

Yu Zhongxiu gave a 'puchi' smile, as if thinking of something funny.

He reached out and took a roll of paper from the side and handed it to Ding Xiuqing,

"This is the Di Bao."

Ding Xiuqing took the paper, and the feel of the tentacles made him know that the quality of the paper was very good.

The paper is not big, only one foot square, the size is very suitable for close reading.

On the right there are four big bold letters:
【Penglai Mansion News】

In addition, there are dense and neat small prints.

Ding Xiuqing took a closer look, and the contents of the mansion newspaper made him secretly startled.

The decrees promulgated by Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong, the recent changes in astronomical phenomena, the development of important activities, the trials of those who violated the laws of the nine counties, and the comparison of the development of population and food in each county.

There were even criticisms of Nanzong's various measures, and the pen was sharp, criticizing some of the measures to the ground.

Ding Xiuqing's heart throbbed, and he returned the residence report to Yu Zhongxiu, and asked suspiciously:

"Who owns this Penglai Mansion Newspaper? How dare it be so unscrupulous."

Yu Zhongxiu smiled and said:

"The Dibao is run by the sect, and the person in charge is the real Jin Ting."

After a pause, he continued:
"Realist Jin Ting is a disciple of Master Ruyi, the head of this sect, and it was Jin Ting who released the remarks about the head's monogamy.

It is said that when this issue of the mansion report came out, the head was so angry that he yelled for real Jin Ting to correct him.

As a result, real Jin Ting said."

Yu Zhongxiu covered her mouth and coughed twice, imitating someone's tone:
"Master said that the most valuable thing about Di Bao is the truth, if there are any untruths in what the disciple said, please point it out.

If not, the disciple will not change. If the master insists on the disciple to change, please expel the disciple from the sect.

result"

Yu Zhongxiu couldn't help laughing out loud, and continued:
"The head of the sect felt that he had lost face and threatened to expel Jin Ting from the sect.

As a result, Zhenren Jin Ting packed up his things without saying a word, turned around and left Xiao Penglai.

Just when the head was wondering whether to call the apprentice back.

The wife who got the news got annoyed, she chased the head master with a sword and slashed wildly, chasing the head head all over the sky.

'If you dare to do it, you are afraid that people will say that if you don't bring Jin Ting back, your three legs will be broken. '

These are the original words of the wife in charge. "

Ding Xiuqing and Ding Huang couldn't help laughing, and asked curiously:
"and after?"

"The head of the sect had no choice but to chase after the apprentice, vowed never to interfere with the affairs of the mansion, and brought the real Jin Ting back."

"Amazing!"

Ding Huang said in amazement.

Yu Zhongxiu proudly said:

"Realist Jin Ting is the idol of countless sisters in Nine Counties."

Ding Xiuqing was startled, and asked:

"Is Jin Ting really a nun?"

After getting the confirmation, I couldn't help being curious about Jin Ting's real person.

What kind of woman is this, dare to be so tough on the head of a school, let alone this person is her master.

After pondering for a moment, Ding Xiuqing hesitated and said:
"Could this news be released on purpose?"

Yu Zhongxiu smiled slightly.

"Many people have guessed this, but since it spread like this, it proves the attitude of the head.

Even he can't get involved in Dibao, what do you think other people will think. "

Ding Xiuqing's heart shuddered, knowing that she still underestimated everyone after all.

Yes!Regardless of whether this news is true or not, it represents the will of the Southern Sect.

Dare to face up to one's own mistakes, which is not a kind of strength.

At the same time, he also heard from Yu Zhongxiu's tone that she actually had no malice towards Zhenjun Ruyi.

It seems that speaking in this way can make him appear closer to the legendary head.

At this moment, he is more interested in Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong, and is about to continue asking.

Suddenly, the carriage that had been galloping began to slow down until it stopped moving.

Yu Zhongxiu said:
"I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart. You only have time to understand slowly in the future. Now."

She paused, a smile breaking out on her face.

"Welcome to Sanshui Town!"
