Chapter 1911 From now on, you are a Tang Dynasty person
After young John got on the carriage, he was still a little uneasy. As an ordinary person, he had never made a carriage in his life.
But today, thanks to my brother George, I got on the carriage.
And he also knew that his brother had undergone such a huge change after becoming a temporary resident of Datang a few years ago, which made him look forward to his future even more.
In the future, I will work hard to make money like my brother, and become a decent person who can make a carriage when going out.
The carriage continued to rush on the road. After arriving outside the checkpoint, George got off the car with his brother and paid the fare that made George feel a little heartbroken. Then he took his brother John into the checkpoint and applied for his brother.
George had been preparing for today for a long time. He had all kinds of documents to prove it, and his brother also successfully passed the written examination. Finally, George paid a deposit of fifty yuan directly from his bank account.
Even his brother John was shocked!
Fifty Tang Yuan!
John is not an ignorant little kid. He is considered young at eighteen years old, but in fact, he is already considered an adult whether in Europe of this era or in the Tang Dynasty, and he has been living at the bottom of society for a long time.
, let him understand more what these fifty Tang Yuan means.
George didn't hide anything and told him directly that most of the money was borrowed from him and had to be repaid!
And they need both brothers to repay it together!
John looked at his brother and said in a serious tone: "I will definitely work hard to make money in the future!"
George just laughed: "Okay, don't be so serious. As long as you find a good job in Ceuta and we save money together, we can pay off the debt in just a few years!"
The application process went smoothly, and at the end, one of the temporary residents who received them officially issued John a temporary residence permit issued by the Ceuta State of the Tang Empire.
He looked at his Tang name written on the temporary residence permit: Qiao Han.
John, no, it should be said to be Qiao Han now, his face is full of excitement!
He knows very well that this temporary residence permit is hard to come by!
In Cadiz, and even in the whole of Spain, there are countless people who want to obtain temporary residence permits from Datang, but not many can pass the application.
Many harsh conditions have caused countless people to fail to apply. Not to mention other things, just being proficient in reading and writing Tang Chinese can disqualify more than 99% of people from applying.
I don’t even have the qualifications to apply, let alone get my application approved.
Because being proficient in reading and writing Tang language means that you need to receive Tang language education. This is nothing for the rich, but for the middle and lower classes, it is very difficult to obtain education opportunities, let alone
Obtained Tang language education.
Qiao Han also thought that his brother's support, coupled with his own intelligence and hard work, were the only way to pass the Advanced Tang Language Examination.
Passing the Advanced Tang Language Examination is a prerequisite for applying for a temporary residence permit. Otherwise, you will not be able to read or write the application form.
Immediately afterwards, the brothers washed up and put on clean clothes at the checkpoint before officially entering the embassy area.
This was the first time in Qiao Han's life that he entered the territory of Datang, and everything he saw was completely different from what he had known in his life.
Although he had imagined what the embassy district was like and what Ceuta was like countless times in the past few years, he found how poor his imagination was.
Everything in the embassy district was better than he imagined!
The air is fresh, the streets are clean and tidy, people coming and going are wearing decent and clean clothes, and there are even ornamental flowers and trees on both sides of the street.
Seeing his brother like this, George couldn't help but laugh and said: "What, you are stupid. When I first entered the embassy area, I was even more miserable than you!"
At this time, John exclaimed: "This is completely a miracle of God!"
However, these words immediately attracted strange looks from several people nearby. One of them, a middle-aged West Asian man, even frowned and said to someone nearby in a standard Jinling accent: "In recent years, the embassy area has been very aggressive towards the barbarians.
The review standards are getting lower and lower, and any mess of barbarians can enter and leave the embassy area."
The middle-aged man next to him, with blond hair and blue eyes and a typical Nordic appearance, also nodded and said in the same standard Jinling accent: "Yes, a few days ago I saw a few barbarians in the isolation zone who wanted to sneak in!
"
The conversation made George blush instantly, and then he directly pulled George Han to the side of the road.
Then in an extremely serious tone, he said in a very standard Jinling accent: "Qiao Han, I must remind you that you are already a Tang Dynasty person, not a damn barbarian, and now you are a Taoist like me.
It’s the Heavenly Lord, not some god.”
"From now on, unless there is a need for work, you must use Datang dialect, even when you talk to me!"
"You must always remember that from now on, you are already a Tang Dynasty person, not one of those ignorant and backward barbarian natives!"
Hearing his brother George's suddenly serious and even angry face, George Han couldn't get used to it for a while.
However, he himself heard the conversation just now. He lowered his head at this time and said in Tang Dynasty: "Brother, I understand. Now I just, I just haven't gotten used to it for a while. I will definitely not do anything like this in the future."
Incorrect!"
After hearing this, George's expression softened slightly: "You must keep this in mind at all times, otherwise it will not be of any benefit to your future, and you may even be deprived of your temporary residence permit!"
As he spoke, George took a deep breath and said with a slightly proud tone: "Because we in the Tang Dynasty will never issue a temporary residence permit to a barbarian!"
Qiao Han said: "I understand!"
After such an episode, George Han made no mistakes again. Even when there was no one around the two brothers, he still communicated with George in Tang Dynasty dialect.
However, George still said: "I will have time to correct your accent in the future. Your accent is still quite strong now. It needs to be corrected in the future. In addition, it is best to learn Jinling accent from me!"
The so-called Jinling accent is actually the Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty with the Jinling accent. The Tang Dynasty has long begun to promote Mandarin, but even if it is Mandarin, people's speaking habits are still difficult to distinguish.
The same Mandarin spoken by people in different places is somewhat different. As Jinling is the capital of the empire and a place where the powerful live, the Jinling-accented Mandarin is naturally the most popular.
Since it was already evening when the application was completed that day, the brothers rested for the night in a small hotel in the embassy area before taking a boat to Ceuta the next day.
