In October of the third year of Datong, the imperial court issued a decree, and the Dali Dynasty formally abolished the slave trading system.From the day when the new law came into effect, the people of Dali are no longer divided into unscrupulous people and low-ranking people. The law prohibits all forms of human trafficking.

At the same time, mathematics was officially included in the scope of the imperial examination and became one of the examination subjects alone.

The Institute of Science and Technology built by Xiao Yan is located in a forest outside Shendu City. At the end of the second year of Datong, the first batch of students will be recruited in September of the third year of Datong.

Talents who are proficient in science and engineering knowledge from all over the world are welcome here. As long as they pass the entrance examination, they can become formal science and engineering students.After completing the four-year study here, you can obtain government weaving, be sent to various places to teach science and engineering knowledge, and receive the salary from the imperial court like officials.

In the same year, medical schools located in various provinces were completed one after another.Mei Zhixue personally traveled around the world, persuading descendants of various medical families to serve as deans or teachers of medical schools, like Confucianism, accepting disciples from all over the world, and using what she has learned to benefit the world.

The imperial hospital was reorganized into the medical department, and officials at all levels were set up like the other six departments. Mei Zhixue changed from the imperial physician order to the medical department secretary, in charge of the world's medical care.The deans and gentlemen from all over the country will become officials of the medical department, have a formal establishment, and receive salary on a monthly basis.

In the past, Shisi and Zuoqiu Yue often separated due to their respective affairs, but Xiao Yan and Mei Zhixue would follow in their footsteps. One had to stay in the capital, and the other had to travel around.

Since entering Datong, for three years in a row, the young couple have been together for less than two months every year, including the time when Xiao Yan ran to find Mei Zhixue when his affairs were not tight.

Therefore, every New Year's Eve feast together, Gu Lin would feel emotional. Fortunately, he begged his aunt to assign him and Song Guo to the same place as an official.He would rather not have military power and change his career to manage the economy, but he must stay with Song Guo.

"I feel more and more that my original decision was too wise." Another year's New Year's Eve banquet, all the officials gathered in the Tai Chi Hall.Gu Lin looked at Song Guo's obviously swollen abdomen, and said with emotion again.

The two got married at the end of last year and adopted twelve battlefield orphans.These children called Lanze's father and Yinzhu's mother, making them parents of twelve children at once.

"Sister, can you take a look for me?" She quietly stretched her wrist to Mei Zhixue's and whispered.

Mei Zhixue obviously didn't think about what to do if this situation really happened, she was stunned when she heard this.

Song Guo heard the words and stopped talking.He looked down at his stomach again, touched it, and seemed to be explaining to the little guy inside.

"I want to see if it's a man or a woman."

Hearing this, Mei Zhixue felt relieved.Putting Mei Ruoyi on his lap, he felt the pulse of the pinecone with a smile.

"That is, they are not yet married."

"There are many more people." Gu Lin looked at him with strange eyes, "Then have you noticed, who are the extra people?"

"Then what if the next child is a son?" Song Guo turned to look at Xiao Mo who was sitting beside Zuo Qiuyue, and then at Mei Ruoyi in Mei Zhixue's arms, her envy was beyond words.I really want a daughter.

Mei Zhixue was teasing her little niece with her arms around her, and she couldn't help raising her head when she heard the words, "I know you're proud of yourself, so there's no need to show it off every year."

Mei Zhixue didn't expect her thoughts to jump so fast.

"Pfft." She sneered, "Don't think so far, give birth to the little guy in your womb first. If he knows that his mother is thinking about adopting a daughter when she is pregnant with him, he will definitely be sad of."

"Have you noticed any difference between this year's New Year's Eve banquet and previous years?" Gu Lin felt that something was wrong after entering the hall, and he was looking at it while drinking, and finally let him see the clue.

"Of course not." Song Guo stretched out his hand to caress his swollen belly, and said, "He is my child, of course I love him. It's just..."

Adding the words of Gu Yunzhang and Li Ruoyu, there are four women and more than ten men.

Song Guo thought about it for a while, and then said: "If that's the case, I will adopt a smart and beautiful daughter just like my stepmother adopted me."

"It's a nephew." Mei Zhixue said with a smile, "The little guy has grown very well in your stomach."

"What's the difference?" Qi Lecheng responded, "Are there more people here than in previous years?"

Qi Lecheng: "..."

"...I think you are free." Qi Lecheng pushed Gu Lin away, "I can't finish worrying."

Riding on a fast horse, you can cross it in half a day.

Qi Lecheng was baffled by him for a while: "Say what you have to say."

Gu Lin moved closer mysteriously, and said, "These extra people have one thing in common."

Speaking of adoption, Yinzhu and Lanze have to be mentioned.

Song Guo looked expectant: "Did you see it?"

"What are you looking at?" Mei Zhixue thought she was uncomfortable, so she became nervous, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's your expression?" Mei Zhixue asked with a smile, "If you're a boy, can you just dislike him?"

"It's because you want to have a daughter, right?" Mei Zhixue understood, and said, "What's the hurry, sir, a brother, and then a younger sister for her? Look at mother, she also had Ah Yan first. , and then met you, and finally gave birth to Ajin. Having sons and daughters, how lively."

"Sister Zhixue, ignore him." Song Guo sat with Mei Zhixue, looked at Yuxue's lovely Mei Ruoyi in her arms, envious, and only hoped that she was also carrying a daughter in her belly.

Besides them, there seemed to be more officials and family members coming this year, especially the daughters of each family.

In previous years, only officials of the fourth rank or above would bring their family members to the banquet, but this year, there were many young people who looked like they had just entered the officialdom.Qi Lecheng naturally noticed it too, but he thought it was the empress' intention to encourage young talents, so he didn't take it to heart.

He looked around again and found that what Gu Lin said was indeed correct.Those people who should not have appeared here but have come here are all young and unmarried.

"Ah, it's a boy."

Xiao Yan raised his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and immediately understood what he was talking about.He didn't speak, just lowered his head and continued pouring wine.

One of them served as the commander of Hebei Daodu, and the other served as the commander of Tule Daodu.It sounds like the two places are separated, but in fact, one built the military camp at the westernmost part of the Hebei Road, and the other led hundreds of thousands of Tule troops to station at the easternmost part of the Tule Road. Both camps are at the junction of the two roads. The actual gathering is only a few dozen miles away.

"Who am I worrying about, don't you know?" Gu Lin posted it again, clarifying the words, "You are also one of them."

Qi Lecheng paused as he went to get the jug, and then poured the wine for himself as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't hear Gu Lin's words.

Gu Lin winked at Xiao Yan.

"Oh, Ah Cheng's guess is right." Xiao Yan explained, "Mother considers that many officials of the right age in the DPRK are not married due to their busy schedules, so they plan to hold a blind date banquet in the spring of next year to match everyone up."

He looked at Qi Lecheng: "You are also among them."
