After everyone left the temple, Aunt Ninth narrowed her cloudy eyes, looked at Su Ze and said:
"I know you are not a Japanese pirate."
Su Ze quickly raised his head, looked at Aunt Ninth's old face and said:
"I'm really not a Japanese pirate! Let me go!"
Aunt Ninth sat down slowly, looked at Su Ze and said:
"Although I don't know what method you used. You calculated correctly that there will be heavy rain today and that hundreds of households will return today, but I still don't believe you are some kind of child of Mazu."
"I have learned physiognomy before, but you have a strange face. At first glance, it seems that you are just a fortune teller of Zhongping, but there is a secret hidden in it. It is really strange."
Su Ze looked at the old temple priest in surprise. Could it be that she really knew how to meet someone? Did she know that she had traveled through time?
Aunt Ninth continued:
"You have an unknown origin. Where can you go without Chang Ning Wei?"
Su Ze also had a toothache. The Ming Dynasty was very strict about household registration.
When you leave your place of residence, you need to issue a certificate, and when you arrive in a new place, you need to report to the government first. Even if you are a businessman, there is a set of strict management methods.
Without an identity document, not to mention being unable to enter the city, even in the countryside you will be arrested by the villagers and taken to the government office.
Now that the Japanese pirates are making trouble again, and my short hair is so eye-catching, I am afraid that I will be arrested again as soon as I leave Changning Guard.
Aunt Ninth looked at Su Ze and said:
"I'll give you a clear path. Just settle down in our Changning Guard."
Su Ze was stunned for a moment. What Ninth Auntie said seemed to be a good choice.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's health centers are exhausted, and even hundreds of households in the health centers can let women do it. It seems that it is not difficult to get a status and live in the health center by yourself.
However, Su Ze, who studies the history of the Ming Dynasty, knows that if he really joins the Guards Army, he will never be able to escape.
According to the ancestral law set by Emperor Hongwu, once a household is classified as a military household, generations of descendants must join the army.
For example, once Su Ze is classified as a military household, he will serve as a soldier in the army for the rest of his life. If Su Ze dies in battle or becomes too old to fight, one of his descendants will be chosen to take his place.
If Su Ze had no descendants, then his descendants from the same clan would have to assume the responsibility of the military household.
It was not easy to travel back to this era. The 33rd year of Jiajing was 1554 AD. By the time Li Zicheng entered the capital in 1644, the Ming Dynasty still had nearly a hundred years.
Although the golden finger of "Hundred Scenes" cannot help Su Ze practice martial arts and cultivate immortality, life skills include skills such as "reading", and you can also participate in the imperial examination to gain fame in the game.
With this golden finger, as long as you have a normal identity, wouldn't it be a bright future if you take the Jinshi exam?
If you become a member of the military, won't you never have a chance to make a comeback?
Aunt Ninth noticed Su Ze's doubts and said in a thick voice:
"Looking at your conversation, it seems like you are a scholar?"
Seeing that Su Ze didn't answer, Aunt Ninth said with a smile: "We in Changningwei once had people who studied health. If you want to study for the imperial examination, as long as the health school is re-established, you can take the imperial examination through health school."
Wei Xue? Su Ze then remembered that it was now the thirty-third year of Jiajing, which was already the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
By this era, the imperial court's restrictions on military households were no longer as rigid as before. The Weisuo could run a health school, and the children of the Weisuo could also register for the imperial examination through the health school.
The most famous Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Prodigy in the Ming Dynasty were the children of military families in Jingzhou Wei, Huguang. They participated in the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination through health studies.
Speaking of which, Zhang Juzheng must have just been a Jinshi for a few years. This year he took leave of absence due to illness and returned to his hometown of Jiangling.
Su Ze's thoughts couldn't help but spread. In this era, the Taoist emperor was sitting high in the temple, and Yan Song and Xu Jie were fighting fiercely.
Gao Gong also held a sutra lecture in Prince Yu's Mansion, while Zhang Juzheng was traveling in his hometown due to illness.
By stretching the time and space scales wider, the mind science founded by Chen Xianzhang and Wang Shouren is changing Ming Dynasty academics and will have a profound impact on this land in the future.
Martin Luther's religious reform is still going on, and European Enlightenment is already in its infancy and will affect the entire world for hundreds of years.
The Ottoman Empire, the Habsburg Dynasty, and the Kingdom of France are competing for hegemony on the mainland.
The newly rising pirate power England and the old maritime overlords Portugal and Spain competed for the crown of the sea.
Construction of the Mayflower had not yet begun, and the American continent was still a blank fertile land.
What era is this? Isn't this the golden age that Su Ze longed for before traveling through time?
This is not only an era of personal opportunity, but also a golden age for the entire country and nation!
Su Ze, who originally had a firm materialist view of history, was suddenly given the upper hand by a heroic view of history.
Could it be that God allowed me to come to this era just to change this era?
Let the land of China, which will sink hundreds of years later, bring the Chinese nation to the pinnacle of glory in this golden age when all ethnic groups in the world are flourishing and striving to stand at the top of the world's nations?
"Young man, come to your senses!"
Aunt Ninth's hoarse voice rang in her ears, finally bringing Su Ze back to reality.
Hey, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
Now that I am an unknown gangster, let alone taking part in the imperial examination, it would be nice if I don't have my head chopped off as a Japanese pirate leader.
Su Ze calmed down, looked into Aunt Ninth's eyes and said:
"Why me? Aren't you afraid that I am really the work of Japanese pirates?"
Aunt Ninth looked into Su Ze's eyes and said:
"I believe in my own vision of people."
Ninth Auntie stood up on crutches. She lit three sticks of inferior sandalwood, inserted them into the incense burner of the Third Master's Empress, and then worshiped devoutly.
"Changningwei has been in decline since the time when it was a hundred households. Not only has the health school been abandoned, but now no one will take over the family temple."
"I am already old. Changning Guard cannot live without temple blessings."
Su Ze studied the history of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knew that for a health clinic, temple blessing was a very important position.
No matter what era or region, going to sea is extremely risky, and living at sea requires faith.
Luck itself is an illusory thing. Every time you go to sea, you are risking your life. Without faith, ordinary people can easily collapse.
The family temple of Changning Guard is the sustenance of this guard’s faith.
Whether it is praying for blessings or telling fortunes, they are essentially meant to calm people's hearts and give desperate sailors in storms at sea the confidence to return home.
This is also the reason why Aunt Ninth has such a high status in Changning Guard.
"You, Chang Ningwei, want an outsider to serve as a temple blessing?"
Aunt Ninth sighed and said: "Originally, I didn't want it. My apprentice died at sea with hundreds of households. I'm afraid the old man's body is not destined to die soon. Since you know how to interpret hexagrams, it shouldn't be difficult to be a temple blessing."
Aunt Ninth looked at Su Ze and said: "I know you are not a creature of the pond. During this period, I will try my best to bring an apprentice out. If anything happens to me, you just need to be my apprentice to inherit the family temple temporarily."
,how?"
Su Ze looked at Aunt Ninth's cloudy eyes, and finally nodded and said, "It's a deal!"
