It was quite painful to cry, but not many people around me sympathized.
Because in the past, refugees, no matter whether you were a scholar or a laborer, were still in rags and were hungry and skinny. Where did such a decent-looking and well-dressed refugee come from?
To come here to receive relief porridge just because of your appearance is not compatible with the refugees. Isn’t this bullying the teachers and fathers of Notre Dame Church who are kind-hearted and easy to talk to?
The young man drank half of the porridge and stopped drinking. He just sat and cried. He didn't care about the strange looks from the people around him. Fortunately, there are very few refugees now, only four or five at the scene. There was also a man lying on the ground sunbathing next to him.
Gao Hanwen mainly listened to this Henan accent, and suddenly remembered the founder of the famous Yue School cross talk before time travel.
It doesn’t make sense. Henan is receiving help from the Orthodox Church this year. It stands to reason that the better the time, the better. And the fact is that the number of refugees from Henan registered in Hangzhou or Zhejiang is declining sharply.
Originally, there were many fellow villagers from Henan who would help the homeless people in Henan. However, the stalls of these fellows’ associations at the intersections were removed this year. It can be seen that the people of Henan really live a good life.
But this scholar was a little surprised.
Gao Hanwen touched his little-used handkerchief. It was a little wrinkled, but fortunately it was clean. He walked to the man and handed it over.
"Brother, are you a member of the government?"
The young man who had been crying for so long without being ignored immediately stopped crying when he saw Gao Hanwen's outfit and asked in surprise.
This conversation confused Gao Hanwen. Does it sound like there is a grievance?
Although Gao Hanwen is not very interested in what kind of good work Liu Changqing can do in Henan, he is still very interested in hearing about it after all.
"I am working as a clerk in the magistrate's yamen, and I see the magistrate Xu every day. What injustice can I do when I come to Hangzhou?"
Gao Han Wenshun Then he asked.
It’s just that although this person is a scholar, his expressive ability is really worrying.
The person who spoke was the ancestor of his family who went back ten generations. Why not start from Pangu? Fortunately, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Gao Hanwen has free time, so he just listens to stories.
The ancestors first had bad judgment and voted for Zhang Shicheng to sell private salt. As a result, he was captured by Emperor Taizu and became a military household. Then there was the great population migration of Taizu Dynasty, which moved directly from the now developed Shanghai County. Huaiqing Prefecture, Henan.
Then the second-generation ancestor was recruited by Emperor Jianwen into Li Jinglong's tent to fight against Emperor Chengzu, and then was captured again. Later, he was moved to Zhangde Mansion and remained a military household.
Since then, eight generations of his ancestors have lived as military households and military remnants. To be a military household, they basically farmed. So far, it can be regarded as the genuine Bali family.
The eighth generation ancestor really became successful when he tightened his belt, gave up all the family’s private savings, and used connections to get his grandfather to study. He was noticed by the teacher and unexpectedly became a scholar. Finally, He lost his military status and changed it to civilian status.
Of course, in principle, household registration cannot be changed in Ming Dynasty. As a rule, there are exceptions.
Military status can also be obtained through the imperial examination. But military status means serving as soldiers for generations. Who among the serious people would be willing to give birth to a descendant from generation to generation to serve those hundreds of households under the general banner? Serfs in peacetime and cannon fodder in wartime. If he dies, he will have to be replaced by a brother. Isn’t this a bad luck for eight lifetimes? No, military status cannot be changed, which is bad luck for generations.
With the reputation of being a scholar, someone recommended that if you get married in Fucheng and buy a house, you will naturally be able to obtain citizenship after getting married and buying a house. The whole family finally changed their appearance.
It took nine generations of hard work to obtain a nationality. Ridiculous or not, sad or not?
Since then, my father has been even more ambitious. He directly took the imperial examination the year before last year. He just wanted to hit the Jinshi subject and did not go to the Ministry of Personnel to apply for an official.
Having a scholar in the family will make a difference, especially when he later became a scholar. Buying a house and land in the countryside, accepting donations and mailings, the life of a foreign minister can be regarded as getting better.
However, within a few years of such good days, the damned Orthodox Church came.
As the young man talked, he started crying again. Gao Hanwen was stunned. Isn't this the main point? After hearing so much nonsense before, why are you crying again?
