American Big Landlord

Vol 2 Chapter 1226: Ancestor worship

After a banquet, everyone was almost drunk. Fathers, helped the children and grandchildren below, and Zhou Jiexi's group also went back, and now they live in San Shu's house.

Grandpa Zhou is there, even if there is room for cheating, he does drink a lot of alcohol, so he gets a little sleepy when he gets there. It's the same with my dad. He doesn't have the cheating mode of Jessie Chou, and he is already drunk after drinking.

After sleeping until late at night, Zhou Jiexi and others ate rice porridge cooked by grandma with some light vegetables, and then went to bed.

The next day was a huge ancestor worship event, and Zhou Jiexi also woke up early. A group of people in the family set off to the Zhou Family's ancestral hall with three animal sacrifices and so on. The ancestors and ancestors of the old Zhou family were enshrined in it.

The outside of the ancestral hall is actually equivalent to a farm activity square. Meetings and so on are basically held here. The one in the square is not a small, but definitely not very big antique building is the home of the Zhou family ancestors.

The ancestors who can enter the genealogy basically have a ranking in it. There are high and low rankings. This is a question of generation and cannot be messed up. However, the size of the brand is still different. A good brand is extremely large, and many of his achievements and positions are written in it.

In addition to these, there are also Hanlin plaques hung on the top and surrounding areas, starting from the Ming Dynasty, but the plaques were added by later generations, and the genuine ones have long been known where they went. Another point is that the brand of wood is actually average and worthless.

There are all scholars and generals in it. The position of being mixed is not enough, but it is also an achievement anyway. Later in the Republic of China, as long as it was a college student, basically all went up. When it comes to the great kingdoms of the heavenly dynasty, college students are also on it.

It's just that with the passage of time, the number of people who have been admitted to the university is getting smaller and smaller. In addition, under the ranking of the ancestral hall, there is a genealogy that was re-edited during the Republic of China. I don’t know how to do it! Anyway, it can be counted to go to the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, but it is not allowed at all, and few people in the old Zhou family believe it.

Everyone went back to the source, and it was in the Ming Dynasty. The old Zhou family didn't know how to get rich and became a rich man in the countryside, and later a landlord. That's how the days passed. There is no shortage of children and grandchildren. Those who go out and come in, don't know where they are. Anyway, Zhoujiacun has moved several times.

After all, people move to live, and trees move to die. If it doesn't change, there is no such thing as Jessie Zhou and others.

The line of Jiexi Chou can be found in the late Qing Dynasty. The concept that can be found is that you know where your ancestor's cemetery is, and you can go to worship during the holidays. Those who can't be found can't be found in the cemetery, who knows who! According to the tablet is filial piety.

The generation of the grandfather of the grandfather, the war flew away, and the children and grandchildren are only tens of thousands of children. The number of registered households in the village is only a little over 5,000.

The total number of people who have been transferred to the outside world is about 40,000 to 50,000! No one has actually counted the fact that every year during ancestor worship and Chinese New Year, the village can instantly swell several times, to more than 30,000 and 40,000.

There are other villages on the edge of Zhoujia Village. There are also Zhou family members in Zhoujia Village, but they are not as neat as Zhoujia Village. The heads of the households have special surname Zhou, and there is no other color.

Specifically, Lao Zhou’s family is not kind, and bullying people with foreign surnames is always there. Everyone is from the village, and they are all family members. When encountering a foreign surname, conflict arises. This is not a reasonable place. .

Anyway, it has been so long, and Zhou Jiexi has never heard that people with foreign surnames can stay here for a long time. In addition, the two old ladies of the old Zhou family are not too many of the great men of the Virgin. If you want to be great, that era will be early. At best, it's just the ideology of small people, and most of the people in the Zhou family are like this.

In the ancestral hall, except for the memorial tablet and plaque, the rest is the incense burner. The men of the Zhou clan came to the square outside the ancestral hall neatly, and after the two old ladies had arrived, they all entered the ancestral hall. Then a veteran in charge of etiquette,

He ordered everyone to arrange the three animal sacrifices according to the rules, and he went to hold the incense, a large handful, and after lighting it, he signaled everyone to go up and take it. At this time, the ancestral hall was filled with smoke, which made some people cough a little bit uncomfortably.

Jessie Chou thought of this situation when he came in the morning. Given his sensitive nose, he was already prepared. When the nose comes in, it has a built-in sniff filter, so it is okay to choke, but the eyes are a little uncomfortable.

Then a set of solemn and solemn procedures began to go, and the elders of etiquette chanted the sacrificial text loudly to the text in front of him. No matter how good his ears were, Jessie Chou couldn't understand what the old man was saying, whether he read it wrong, or read it indiscriminately. They couldn't understand it.

He and the people below can hear only one word and one word.

"worship!"

"##*#……"

"Bye again!"

"****###"

"The Zhou family's descendants bow down and worship..."

At this point, there is a problem. These two old ladies are very old, and there are sons on them. How can they worship! But people are alive after all, and those above are already here. The older generation did not bow down first, the younger ones bowed down first.

Fathers, they bowed, bowed three times.

This is not over yet, three bows and three bows. There is nothing disgusting about Jessie Chou. What's the big deal about worshiping your ancestors? If someone accidentally shot you on the wall, you should really cry. In order to celebrate that the ancestors have found the right position, just for this, I feel sorry for myself if I don't worship!

Another point is that, traditionally, kneeling to the heavens and knees to the parents is a reasonable thing. There is also the most important reason. It is the same reason that a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, and she will die in the future. People still worship this way. It is the same. It doesn't matter what the feudalism remains. Zhou Jiexi likes this kind of clan thinking.

Everyone is everybody, and a small family is a small family. He likes Xiaojia more than everyone else.

There are more things behind! After the worship, it's time to serve incense, and grandpas will serve it first. Later, according to seniority level, etc., one after another went up to incense and worshipped twice.

Jessie Zhou also had his turn. As a grandfather and grandfather, in Grandpa Zhou's line, although he was a little younger, he went up for incense first. This is not the case in his family, it is also the same in other families.

The steps of the ancestor worship activity were more complicated, and after a whole morning, the ancestors in the ancestral hall were all worshipped. Among them was the old lady who asked Jiexi Zhou to come out alone, and tell his ancestors about his current achievements, so that the ancestors could brag about it.

This is the morning event, the ancestral hall is still enshrined in it, and everyone gathers together to drink and eat. But I didn't drink too much, and there was still something in the afternoon. Then the veterans organized everyone to go to the mountains to sweep the graves and burn papers for their ancestors. Each family also assigned tasks. It was easier for Zhou Jiexi. I went to my dear grandfather to worship and comfort me.

In addition, you have to burn a lot of paper. This is to give your ancestors less private money, not to be confused with the burning of the public. Taking into account the current inflation problem, Zhou Jiexi, as a filial son and grandson, must definitely figure out a financial policy for the old man.

According to the analysis and integration of mathematicians and financial analysts in their own think tank. Calculate the following inflation problem based on the number of people who died during the celestial worship in these years and the denomination of burning paper. Burning one hundred million is basically the same as one or two yuan, it can't be spent at all, and it's not worth it.

According to the analysis of the world's financial laws, the next one or two yuan is estimated to be unable to afford the smallest consumption. So this burning paper is exquisite, you have to burn how many ancestors to spend, and then there are words.

So according to the analysis of the existing paper currency of the Tian Dynasty, first calculate the Ming currency with the largest circulation and the widest circulation. Just like the U.S. dollar, the currency with high circulation is the main hedging currency. Otherwise, you are just like the Korean won, one hundred million or two hundred million, how much money will it cost if you change to a foreign country.

Just let them play with the money.

According to the results of a paid survey by a domestic research company, Zhou Jiexi found three types of Ming coins with the largest and most widespread circulation around the Celestial Dynasty. There is also an investigation into the mythology of the Asia-Pacific region's faith in the celestial dynasty, and the coins circulating in their region. The ancestor must burn some foreign currency to ensure that if a certain currency collapses, he still has money to spend.

Zhou Jiexi believed that his actions would definitely make the old man a landlord and capitalist. The foreign exchange he had kept was burned, and there were several kinds, to ensure that he went to other hells to play unimpeded.

Therefore, these kinds of Ming coins were given to religious organizations such as monks, Taoists, horns, and other countries, and religious organizations of other countries were consecrated by Jessie Zhou. Also donated a lot of money for sesame oil.

Once again, make sure that it is good money to burn down, and there are a few official religious consecrations below to ensure that they are consecrated. At least the consumption currency has been officially recognized, and it can be considered as a layer of insurance for the consumption of the ancestors.

When Jiexi Zhou came, she brought a lot of Ming coins, and her bodyguards also brought in other Ming coins after they were enlightened one after another. By this day, it happened to be the time when Jessie Chou could use it.

"Jesse, what are you doing with so many coins?" the old lady and grandfather both asked.

The elders of Jiexi Chou's line saw the large pile of renminbi obtained by Jiexi Chou's bodyguard. I won’t say that they have a big basket on them. I guess they have to carry a basket on their backs before they can take it away.

"I can't buy more now!" Zhou Jiexi said to them with a look of emotion. "You see that we all have the problem of inflation in the world. There must be this problem under the ancestors..."

Jessie Chou said all the wrong things she thought of.
