"My lord, did you call me?"

When Guan Tiezhisuke heard the greeting, and saw that Xiang Chunzao was dressed as an official, he immediately calmed down, just pretending that nothing happened, and walked cautiously to Xiang Chunzao's side. It looks like the little common people who are suddenly named by the official, with awe in the restraint, and even a little bit of fear.

Seeing his appearance, Xiang Chunzao is very satisfied, it really looks like an honest and responsible person!

"What's your name?" Xiang Chunzao was also called by name temporarily, and the registration form for recruiting workers only had a name and address, and there was no detailed information.

"I'm in Shimonoseki Tetsusuke Changyuan." Guan Tetsunosuke didn't need to change his name. After all, he had been in Edo for a long time, and many people knew him, so changing his name would be suspicious.

"What's your origin?" Xiang Junzao nodded.

In fact, the "scholar" in the Edo period was also high and low. The lowest-class swordsmen with Miao characters often only have Miao characters and common names. Take Guan Tiezhijie as an example, Guan is Miao characters, and Tiezhisuke is a common name. Changyuan, on the other hand, is a name, and the average Miao sword bearer has no name.

After all, the people who were given the Miao character saber were often born from the common people. The better ones are the head of the village, or the merchants, who were originally Dalang Erlang and Saburo. There may be 18 Dalangs in the whole village.

The samurai of the eight classics are all Miao characters, common names and names, such as Xiangcheng Nosuke Chunzao. But that's all, he's just a samurai.

His Miao characters are not famous, and Tong characters are not famous either, and the inheritance is zero!

Samurai of higher status, such as our old acquaintances Oka Tadashi and Mizuno Tadashi, the word "loyalty" passed down from generation to generation by their families was given to them by Tokugawa Ieyasu more than 200 years ago. , indicating that their family has inheritance, system, and family, and it has been a wealthy family for hundreds of years.

There is another kind, such as the Maeda family of Kaga Kanazawa domain, the common character passed down from generation to generation is "profit". If there is no general's name, it is generally called Maeda Rimou. Just like the Date family of the Sendai domain of Mutsu, they are generally called Date a certain sect.

The common characters of this type of people have been passed down for a longer time, and once they are reported, they will be well-known.

As for Guan Tiezhijie Changyuan in front of him, there is a Miao character, a common name and a famous name, which means that he is at least a warrior family, maybe a few generations ago, he was a warrior of a certain prince.

Just like on the mainland next door, when you say your surname is Li, no one thinks of you. When you say that you are Longxi Li or Zhaojun Li, then in the feudal era, you were born in a famous family. Another example is that your surname is Wang, if you say the king of Langya, you will walk sideways in the world in the first half of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Just like that, you can tell where you are from by looking at the name. Therefore, there is this question in the village pure make.

"It was Mito clan in Shimohara, and there was a big change in the clan before, and more than a thousand houses were sacked..." Guan Tetsunosuke's acting skills continued to play, and his face quickly fell into some kind of grief.

After the Mito Domain was cut down by 100,000 stones, it could no longer support so many samurai. Therefore, the pro-shogunate conservative samurai who came to power first killed many samurai who were implicated in the Tokugawa Keitsu case. Then dozens of families were exiled, those who danced more powerfully.

In the end, there was a large-scale retreat of the middle and lower-level warriors. Anyway, they couldn't afford it, and there was no way. Of course, there are some respectable elements, but they are mainly ordinary warriors. This is a well-known thing. It is impossible for the shogunate to execute more than one thousand people, five or six thousand people, because they were born in the Mito clan.

As long as you abide by the law and behave well, the shogunate will not kill innocent people.

Seki Tetsunosuke, who was based in Edo himself, tried to make a living in Edo after claiming that he had been expelled. But things didn't go as planned, and the longhouse he lived in was destroyed in the Great Ansei Earthquake, and was subsequently hit by fire. The collection of books, family property, swords and other items were all lost in the fire, and the trickle did not exist.

In order to support his wife and children, he was recruited to serve as a coolie for the expansion project of Nihonbashi Terminal. It is also forced to have no other way, to live.

"Do you want to read a book before?" The explanation was perfect, and Xiangjun made a letter.

"I have read books in the domain school for two or three years, and I know a few words." Guan Tetsunosuke continued to make up the story. He was a top student at the Mito domain school, Hongdokan, and even held some minor official positions in the Mito domain.

But now he can't say that he is very literate. If he is really literate, he can open a temple house and teach the children of town people to read and write. Or go to booksellers or publishers and work as copywriters.

These days, it takes a lot of money to specifically engrave a good engraving plate. If you have that kind of money, you might as well hire someone to transcribe dozens or hundreds of copies and put them into the market to see the sales. Books that sell well are put into printing.

Anyway, people with culture will definitely not fall to the point of being coolies in Edo. That is, the kind of person who has been in school for two or three years, learned to read and write simply, and knows five or six hundred characters, is not worth much in Edo.

Young Shang can go to the store as an apprentice

, UU reading www.uukanshu.com catch up step by step. Guan Tiezhisuke, who is in his thirties, is too old, and after being unemployed at the age of thirty-five, it is not easy to re-employ.

Can you understand?

"Very good, let's write your name and see." Xiang Junzao didn't say much nonsense, and handed the paper money to Guan Tiezhisuke.

So Guan Tiezhisuke deliberately wrote his name on the book in a crooked manner. Even in order to show his average level of education, he also spelled the word "鉄" wrong, and the two dots next to the golden word were only clicked on the left, not on the right.

"Sir?" Guan Tiezhisuke expressed a feeling that he was scratching his head just by writing his name, and he was dying.

"Shang Ke, go back to work." Xiang Junzao smiled towards Guan Tiezhisuke.

Then things developed, just as everyone expected. Guan Tiezhisuke continued to work on the construction site for seven or eight days. The coal yard, fence, fire ditch and other buildings have been repaired, and the recruited coolies can be abolished.

Everyone is paid the corresponding wages according to the number of days of attendance recorded by the shogunate. The industrious ones were paid and asked to temporarily stay on the coal yard. Those who steal and play tricks, let them get out of the way after paying their wages.

Looking around at the workers who were supposed to be retained, Guan Tiezhi knew in his heart that he must have been retained. Fortunately, he performed well last time and was favored by the adult, so he could stay on the railway and investigate the follow-up situation.

"You are Guan Tiezhisuke Changyuan?" A shogunate official walked up to Guan Tiezhisuke.

"Exactly."

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be the leader of Group B for coal-fired service!"
