My system is not decent

Chapter 1770 72 Doubtful Tombs

Even if the children of poor families do not study, they basically have enough food and clothing.

If it is not damaged by external forces, this situation will basically not change much.

There are also some "poor families" whose ancestors used to be high-ranking officials and were very rich, but later their family fortunes fell.

Its social status and political treatment are not as superior as before.

But even so, the family still has some wealth. As long as the younger generations work hard, there is still time for recovery.

Therefore, in ancient times, "poor families" were not poor people in the true sense.

It has a certain social hierarchy, and it is not what modern people think. As long as the family is poor, it is considered poor.

Because the poor families in ancient times had certain assets as support.

The ancient hierarchical system was very clear. Before the imperial examination system began, important official positions in the court were generally held by rotation among the aristocratic families.

It is very difficult for people outside the aristocratic family to have the opportunity to serve as high-ranking officials in the court.

Even if they entered the imperial court, they served in some unimportant positions or were sent out.

After the imperial examination system began, scholars went through decades of hard study and examinations all the way, and finally won the gold list.

In ancient times, the ultimate goal of studying was to become an official, and children from poor families hoped to prosper their families through studying and becoming an official.

Other children from poor families don't like to be officials, but like to be free and easy.

For example: Tao Yuanming didn't like being an official, so he chose a poetic and picturesque pastoral life.

Xu Xiake also didn't like studying and being an official, so he chose to travel all over his life.

But here you have to know that Xu Xiake is not a poor person, because poor people have no money to travel.

Also, although Xu Xiake was not an official at that time, his social status was there.

For example, when he goes on a trip, and before he comes to a big mountain, he can conscript corvee, have people carry his sedan chair, cook for him, and so on.

In other words, when he traveled up the mountain, he was carried up for free, and some trivial things in the middle were done with the help of the local poor.

This is the status of ancient scholars. Of course, not all scholars have such a high status, but it can be seen from this.

In the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were not many poor students who studied.

For example, the students of the famous Han Yu, the students of the superior family life are rich and worry-free, some people think that studying is of little use.

Students from humble backgrounds live in a difficult life. They think that reading is very useful, so they actively ask teachers to learn, and they don't think it is a very shameful thing to ask teachers for advice.

Later, the social economy gradually stabilized, and class solidification became more and more serious.

At this time, supporting scholars requires a lot of expenses, and there are still some poor families who can barely support a scholar.

Therefore, poor families without family support cannot support scholars at all.

Therefore, in ancient times, it was difficult for ordinary people to support a scholar, but poor families still had financial resources to support a scholar.

There is no easy karma in the world, and there is no impossible karma. If everyone keeps their own karma, then there is no karma that cannot be achieved.

Big people have great legends, and little people have stories of little people.

The ancient class system was strict, and what kind of occupation people engaged in was also restricted by the class, so people did not have more choices.

In modern times, although people still need to first solve the problem of three meals a day for themselves and their family.

But people's minds are more open, and there are more career choices.

Therefore, as long as people work hard in the right direction, they will definitely achieve something.

Success is not defined, everyone and everyone succeeds in different fields, and the age at which success is achieved is different.

Some people are mathematical geniuses, like mathematicians Hua Luogeng and Chen Jingrun;

Some people are medical geniuses, like Gu Fangzhou and Tu Youyou;
Some people are agriculturalists, like Grandpa Yuan Longping.

So what about the Three Kingdoms period?Zhou Yu has outstanding ability at a young age, and was appreciated by the two generations of Soochow masters.

In the earlier Shang and Zhou dynasties, Jiang Ziya was nearly a hundred years old before he was fortunate enough to be discovered and relied on by King Wen of Zhou.

Maybe some people, for unknown reasons, work hard enough, but they are really unlucky. Suffering seems to be only for him, and he has experienced various hardships in his life.

However, as the old saying goes, the more sin you suffer, the more blessing you will enjoy. Perhaps it is these sufferings that you have experienced in life that sharpen your will and sharpen a knife that cuts thorns for future achievements.

Life is like cooking, if there is a lack of seasoning, a lack of ingredients, and a lack of heat, the final taste will be different.

If you want to make a good dish with excellent taste, you need not only a lot of time to practice, but also a lot of hard work.

After repeated research and experimentation, the accumulation of small amounts will add up, and one day a sudden flash of inspiration will naturally make dishes with better taste than before.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, whether poor or wealthy, past glory does not represent all of the future, and past embarrassment also does not represent all of the future.

Just like Wang Mingsheng, a cabinet scholar in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, was poor when he was young. In the cold winter, he could only wear a worn-out cotton jacket to keep out the cold, and he was stared at.

But instead of being depressed, he studied harder, and later achieved success in his studies, and finally became a cabinet bachelor.

It can be seen from this that as long as you bear hardships and stand hard work and work hard, even if you are born in a poor family, you will one day stand out.

Conversely, if you have excellent talent or extremely good living conditions, but you don't work hard.In the end, it will only fall into the quagmire.

Therefore, whether it is from a poor family, a wealthy family, or a person who is not as good as a poor family, you must work hard.

Back to the topic, or Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period.

No matter how much he advocates thin burials, it is different from the Cao Cao's tomb we see now.

If it is said that Cao Cao's tomb, which is considered to be a real tomb, was stolen so badly that it became the thin burial we see now, that is a reasonable explanation.

However, if according to expert explanations, it is purely self-righteous to say that thin burials were always advocated by Cao Cao during his lifetime.

Of course, Cao Cao was very frugal during his lifetime, even the frugal life he has always advocated.

However, after he died, did his descendants really bury him thinly?This is a great disobedience.

Also, some people say that he advocated thin burials because he participated in tomb robbery activities in his early years.

This is also a statement, but this statement is unreasonable.

If it was really a thin burial, then why did he make a 72 suspicious tomb?

With the money spent on building 72 suspected tombs, is it considered a thin burial?

If you are afraid of being retaliated, future generations will dig him out and flog his corpse, then you can take a look at Genghis Khan Temujin.

Afraid of being flogged, or even bruised and ashes, wouldn't it be enough to hide his tomb better?
