Chapter 1716 The Goddess’s Secret Word (Sixty-One)

For most young people who have just graduated from school, they have to face a question, where should I go? What should I do?

This problem is not only faced by graduates of ordinary secular schools, but also by graduates of seminaries.

Hey, what else can you do if you don't become a priest after graduating from seminary?

In the 17th century, studying was only for the rich. Even the original founders of Harvard University were Oxford and Cambridge graduates from wealthy families. Moreover, in that era when theocracy had not completely disappeared, even a Harvard Master of Arts could not find a priesthood.

Work. A person who can write and speak can also run a newspaper or become a tutor. In short, he does not necessarily have to become a priest.

Samuel Parris was a member of the First Church of Boston. He was a young pastor, a junior minister, and the father of three children when he was approached by representatives from the Salem church. He was born in England,

He spent most of his youth in Barbados. His family was engaged in the plantation industry, with a plantation and seventy slaves. He attended Harvard for several years, but dropped out because of his father's death.

At that time, Barbados had been very wealthy because of the sugar industry, but it was like the South before the Civil War, with only balls, bragging and "aristocrats" in wigs.

The business environment there is not good. The export channels for Barbados products mainly rely on Europe. If you want to broaden your own sales, you have to annex others. After the death of Paris's father, his father's channels were taken away by others, but he was still a

Boy, the angry Paris was not good at business competition. A few years later, Paris bought the property at a low price, came to Boston, married Elizabeth, and claimed to be a merchant from the West Indies. At first, he lived a prosperous life.

And An Ning, but even though Barbados, Massachusetts was much more prosperous and had a more favorable business environment, his career began to fail.

He gradually became accustomed to business competition, just as he was accustomed to trading. However, although opportunities often came, he could not seize them every time. One year, Paris was in and out of court several times because of a very competitive loan.

Under this background, he had to become a pastor again. His brother was a pastor in England, and his uncle preached at the First Church of Boston. With the recommendation of the two, the church asked him to serve in a very remote village in Massachusetts.

Paris was not a Dominican priest. He did not have a lofty sense of mission. He went to those poor and backward places in order to eradicate ignorance and preach light.

He had connections in his family. After staying in that village for a few years, he was transferred back to Boston. It was like a "general" who graduated from West Point during World War II and went to the front line for two years to gain experience. After returning to the United States, he could go to the Department of Defense.

There are many types of hell, such as a battlefield with bombardments and mutilated bodies everywhere, or a countryside with nothing but countless ignorant peasants. A college student who graduated from a prestigious school can obviously stay in a metropolis and enjoy the life of a civilized person.

Why did he want to go to a remote place to live in a poor country?

No, of course not!

Paris thought the same way. Although Salem is about the same size as Boston, it is not international. It is just a "poor little village" that is far less dazzling than Boston. There is not even a theater. It is where the Puritans gather.

There, people wore dim purple, deep brown, and soft green clothes, while Bostonians wore dark red coats inlaid with silver lace. He went there once and felt like he was buried alive.

He didn't want to go at all, but he couldn't stay in Boston. His uncle was only a preaching priest and not the bishop of Boston, so there was no way to arrange for him to be admitted to a church in Boston.

Although Paris has no business talent, he is not a talentless person. He has many pastor friends, many of whom are also acquaintances with the former Salem pastor Deodat Rosen. These people help the Salem villagers brag.

Salem is such a nice place, just like the matchmaker who said he would marry a beautiful woman to a rich dwarf. Paris was hesitant to make a decision. He excused himself by saying that when necessary, the farmers would decide his fate.

General Marshall said on the Harvard podium: You college students are like torches that have just been lit, but you are about to scatter.

These peasants would gather together with torches and burn to death the priest who said the wrong thing and spread heresy.

This is not a strange thing. Every organization will purge itself. Even though witch hunting and witch trials have been banned in Europe, the Inquisition still burned priests to death in 1691. At that time, heliocentrism was being discussed. In order to save trouble, Louis XIV

Also because the heliocentric theory was more consistent with his own rule, he dismissed all accusations of witchcraft, including against priests. During this period, missionaries who knew astronomy and surveying went to the east to see Emperor Kangxi.

At that time, the children of the Eight Banners were not like those in the late Qing Dynasty, who carried caged birds and wandered in the streets all day long. They defeated Tsarist Russia, signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk, and occupied Sakhalin Island. HLJ and the Ussuri River Basin were also considered Manchus

His hometown was a bitter and cold place for the Ming Dynasty residents living in Guanzhong. No one wanted to go there. Only the exiled prisoners would go there. Even if it was lost, it would have no impact on the Han people.

Of course, working for yourself is different from working for someone else. If you don't care about your own family business, you certainly can't expect outsiders to treat it as your own business.

If the British nobles had not gone to the North American colonies, America would certainly not have developed to its current scale, but the British would not have been able to enjoy the resources in the Americas either.

The independence of North America was also related to the fact that the British gentlemen were unwilling to rule in the Americas and gave too much power to the colonial parliament. It was precisely because no one was willing to go that slaves were sent to open up the land there.

As long as the young master still regards this land as his family property, it will be fine even if he brings a thug like Gore with him.

Choosing common people's children to attend prestigious schools is also a way of choosing your own future team, young master. You don't have to take over the people your father gave you who are easy for him to use but not for you.

Not everyone in this world is civilized, polite and reasonable. European immigrants occupied the land of the local indigenous Indians. These people would come to their homes every day to burn, kill and loot. If not for this, there would be no war. Without war, there would be no war.

There will be so many orphans and widowed mothers displaced.

Odat Rosen was getting old, he couldn't stand it anymore, the pressure was too much, and the parishioners of Salem were too lazy and uneducated, so they would only do anything if they were given sweet treats.

When he reached the age of old Rosen, it was his turn to go to the city to enjoy the blessings. Although Paris was young, he was not a passionate young man from Harvard. He followed him to Europe after the war with his lofty ambition and a word from Marshall.

Go and start construction. He gave eight conditions, and if he didn't agree to any of them, he wouldn't go. The Salem church group all nodded and agreed. Paris was very reluctant and pretended that he was passionate and wanted to bring something to Salem.

After a slight change, I took my wife and children to live in the residence arranged by the locals for the pastor.

The house is located at the crossroads of the village, on a two-acre plot of land.

The house has a large chimney with four fireplaces around it, which is in urgent need of repair. The fence is rotten and about to collapse, and bushes have encroached on two-thirds of the grass. The cold air is filled with resentment, worry and frustration, and penetrates

The walls blow into the house, and it's hard to tell which one is warmer inside or outside.

Fortunately, Paris was very foresight and asked the parish to provide firewood in his request. As a result, Paris lived there for three weeks before receiving two small loads of firewood.

There was only a writing desk and a mirror in the parsonage, and the priest had to buy other furniture by himself. Fortunately, he moved these things from Boston. After whitewashing the four rooms with fireplaces, he built a large manor house for the children and the family.

The slaves who came with them lived there.

There were tin cups placed on the communion table. At that time, the richer parishes would use silver wine cups. The silver wine cups used by Paris were of higher quality than the communion cup.

A life that was more bleak than imagined made Paris depressed, which made him depressed and stubborn. Transporting firewood was a heavy burden for the place. This may be Paris's struggle to win respect. As long as the firewood is

Undeliverable or substandard results in complaints like “Isn’t this some cork?”

Later, after unloading the firewood, a believer said to him, "Aren't we also very weak when we listen to sermons?"

In this way, the issue of firewood became a major issue. The village council hoped to raise funds for the pastor to arrange it himself, while Paris hoped that someone in the village would urgently need to deliver firewood to him. The relationship between the two parties became increasingly tense. Paris was stubborn and refused the villagers' fundraising efforts.

However, the price of firewood would fluctuate with the king's restrictions on logging and export from New England and could rise at any time. This matter was debated for most of 1689.

Paris accepted the appointment in the presence of several pastors from neighboring villages and two other Salem pastors. This was an important step for Salem Village and its new pastor - the ceremony was completed, no matter how reluctant the beauty was.

, she has become married to the rich dwarf, and is not allowed to divorce without the permission of the church, even though the dwarf's family does not seem very wealthy.

Parris mentioned Joshua at the beginning of his speech and looked forward to the future. Farmers can work together and love each other in the future.

In fact, the villagers wanted to go home and harass the maids while their wives were out collecting rent. The fathers and brothers of these maids may have died in the war, so they had no choice but to become servants, but men in the 17th century,

This is true from kings to peasants. Maybe they don’t have the status of kings, but they can be treated like kings. Otherwise, how could Sarah Good come to Salem with a three-month-old child after her husband died a few years ago?

.

If the maid dared to disobey, she would be kicked out. Under the threat, some agreed, and some refused and joined the factory as female workers, but they were still harassed by the factory owner.

The best way is to wear a wedding ring, which can drive away some people. Even the wedding ring can't drive away, so I have to ask a male friend for help.

If one day the "clown" really wears decent clothes to rob a bank and threatens the blond female teller in a pink coat, and if she doesn't cooperate, he only needs to look back at his accomplice, and his accomplice will take out a pistol and give it to the lobby manager.

Make a hole in the top.

Yes, the surroundings looked normal at that time. It was not like scenes in some movies where the robbers told everyone to get down as soon as they appeared. Only the female teller was threatened.

At this time, the female teller said to the "clown" with an excited smile, "Then please look back at him."

Her father sent her to gymnastics school, which gave her a beautiful figure, but she preferred baseball, but it was a boy's sport. More importantly, she could wield a metal bat and drive away those who harassed her.

If the clown helps her solve this problem, she will have one more follower, and because she is a woman, she can be called "Harley Quinn".

Who says that every blonde is unintelligent, or that all blondes have naturally blonde hair?

When a woman is determined to leave that home, nothing can stop her, no matter how much that person shouts "come back."

So small things like disobeying, not cooperating, and resisting are really big things.

Just like Madame Dubarry, she ordered her slave to leave the revolutionaries, but the slave instead reported her, and the revolutionaries sent her to the guillotine.

When she was about to die, she still wanted to make amends and planned to use her gems to exchange for her life.

These people are looking forward to a good show. The mistress who killed the king is not something you encounter every day, and she is so beautiful.

Yes, witch hunting stopped at the end of the 18th century, but were they still the same people?

If the African colonies are not taken back, France will decline after the British. Economic problems will cause political problems, and Paris will become a city that needs military control. Although bringing back the Foreign Legion is troublesome and not in compliance with the law, what else is there?

method?

The Americans had already tried this in the 1970s. Their soldiers would not shoot at their own citizens. It was only convenient for foreigners to do so.

Now that we’ve reached this point, are you still thinking about the female models on the catwalk?

If you don’t want your family property anymore, you can’t blame others for taking it over for the young master. The new political system may not be a bourgeois republic that believes in the sanctity of private property. This is revolution.

Tsarist Russia was overthrown by the wave of revolution, otherwise the Anglo-Saxons would have fought an intracranial war at all costs.

The Yankees in the 1950s still knew how to confuse people. Now it is easy to exchange fame and fortune, but this is the legacy left by the ancestors. It is a reputation that took several generations of Harvard and Yale to establish over hundreds of years, just like

It’s almost like the Bourbon nobles who sold their land to live a luxurious life in Paris.

It is true that one generation is inferior to the other. No wonder there are wizards like Grindelwald who think they can rule all mankind with their small population.

It's a pity that the young masters won't listen even if I say it. It seems that they are as lazy as the farmers in Salem.

Today is Children’s Day, war orphans are also very pitiful
