Chapter Seventy-Six: Gift-giving

"You grass people, how dare you insult us and other scholars?"

The face of the green-clothed literati turned pale.

"Bold! How dare you say that we are well-dressed beasts! I don't think you want to live anymore! ”

The white-clothed scholar also glared angrily.

In these years, the status of scholars is noble, and ordinary people naturally can't afford to read, and those who can read are either disciples of the poor family or people of the scholar clan.

The "poor family" here does not refer to the families of ordinary people, but to those who are not noble, or down-and-out.

There is a difference between the dignity and inferiority of the status, and the status is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.

Even, the scholars who participated in the imperial examination, even if they fell into the first place, the county magistrate had to be polite when he saw it.

Qin Zhen also felt that relying on his own insight and advanced knowledge, he could get mixed into the scholar class when he came to another world in ancient times; Who would have thought that reality gave him a heavy slap in the face, he was born from the grassroots, and he really didn't deserve it!

If it weren't for the small fishing village, I was afraid that the Qin Zhen family would have long been targeted by mountain bandits or landlords and old wealth, and would be forcibly taken captive as slaves!

"Can you represent the readers? Don't put gold on your face, you can only represent yourselves. Qin Zhen's words choked the two of them in a dilemma: "I'm not scolding the world's scholars, I'm just scolding the two of you!" ”

"You!" The white-clothed scholar gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Chen Kuai walked over.

He glanced at the two of them lightly and said in a deep voice towards Qin Zhen.

"The lord wants to see you."

Qin Zhen immediately got up and followed Chen Kuai to leave.

"Humph! Dirt buns from the township! Insulting Sven! The white-clothed scholar was angry and angry, thinking that he was also a famous scholar in ten miles and eight towns, and he was scolded by Qin Zhen in public, and he inevitably lost face: "Brother Tang, this matter can't be left like this!" ”

The green-clothed literati known as "Brother Tang" frowned slightly.

Obviously, I can't get angry.

"I have to think of a way to make this Qin Zhen a laughing stock!"

Qin Zhen didn't know that he had been hated by the two of them, and at this time he was nervous about meeting the Offshore City Lord.

"Grass people Qin Zhen, meet the city lord!"

Just far away, the Offshore City Lord didn't see it very clearly, and it wasn't until now that Qin Zhen was standing in front of him, and this Offshore City Lord, who knew countless people, was shocked by Qin Zhen's extraordinaryness.

There is no clear stupidity and self-righteous ignorance on that delicate and white face, there is just nature that buries everything without leaving a trace.

At first glance, it seems that he is a child of ordinary people, but the coldness and determination between his eyebrows have already distinguished this person from those ordinary people.

Especially those dark eyes.

With a restrained edge.

The Offshore City Lord knew that it was a kind of grandeur that could only be possessed if he had killed people and seen blood!

Just by taking a look, the Offshore City Lord was full of interest in Qin Zhen.

At the same time, I also believed in those rumors related to Qin Zhen.

Miss Ying'er naturally doesn't have the old and spicy eyes of her father, she just thinks that this poor boy from the countryside looks pretty good.

The Coastal City Lord asked nonchalantly.

"What were you arguing about?"

"Lord Huicheng." Qin Zhen said truthfully: "Just now someone felt that we had no image of eating and lacked etiquette, and the grass people were angry, so they argued a few words. ”

He paused, as if to explain, as if to clarify.

"Not everyone in this world can have no worries about food and clothing, the grass people are humble, since childhood, they and the villagers have been digging vegetables and eating soil to satisfy their hunger, they have never seen such a rich food today, it is inevitable to get carried away, and please forgive the city lord."

Qin Zhen said very vaguely.

He did not say that the world was hard, and that people like him were destitute, hungry and cold.

If this is the case, it would be wrong to say it! Scholars sing praises of the prosperous era every day, whitewash the peace, drunk and dreaming of death, and are extremely hungry! Now that you are saying that the people are not making a living, isn't this a disguised way to say that he is not sympathetic to the feelings of the people and is not doing well?

"Planing vegetables and eating soil?" Without waiting for the offshore city lord to speak, Miss Ying'er on the side was the first to speak, with a look of surprise: "Why don't you eat rice?" What about not eating meat? ”

Why not minced meat?

Qin Zhen smiled and said, "There have been droughts for many years, and there is no harvest of crops, how can there be rice to eat?" Thanks to the kindness of the city lord, we are allowed to open the sea to fish, so that we can fill our stomachs! Speaking of this, Qin Zhen bowed his hand to the coastal city lord again: "Our fathers and villagers in the coastal county all say that the city lord is good!" ”

The Offshore City Lord was surprised: "Is this true? ”

"If the lord of the city doesn't believe me, you can go to the small fishing village for a walk." Qin Zhen said matter-of-factly: "The spiritual outlook in the countryside today is far beyond before. ”

People are willing to listen to good words.

Especially for officials who were born as scholars as the lord of the coastal city, there was always some ambition to govern the world in their hearts.

Hearing that the people under his rule were grateful to him, the long-lost literati spirit in the heart of the coastal city lord came out in an instant! Even if he didn't do anything, he still imposed taxes harshly, connived at the local clans to steal and plunder, and looted the people's fat and ointment.

But this did not prevent him from feeling that he was a great and good official from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Kuai on the side also echoed: "It's all because the city lord has worked hard for the people and bowed to the essence that there will be today's offshore grand occasion!" There will be a golden sand beach victory that shocks the world! ”

"Oops! It's over! ”

This rainbow fart made the coastal city lord a little ashamed.

He waved his hand pretendedly, and his heart was extremely proud.

"This is all the credit of Jiang Nanmu, what does it have to do with me? If you want to thank you, you have to thank Jiangnan Mu for showing compassion for the people and governing well! ”

Although Qin Zhen felt a little disgusted in his heart, he still licked his face and agreed.

There's no way, now that I'm soft-spoken, if I want to play in this circle, I have to slap my beard.

For a while, the coastal city lord had a good impression of Qin Zhen.

In his eyes, isn't Qin Zhen exactly the kind of fool who is grateful to himself as written in the book?

What a great citizen!

At this moment, Huang Dalang bowed down and reminded.

"Lord of the City, the auspicious time has arrived, and you can start."

Looking at the overjoyed coastal city lord, Huang Dalang glanced at Qin Zhen imperceptibly, feeling vigilant.

I thought that this Qin Zhen was young, and he talked one by one, how could he please the city lord better than him?

The city lord is happy, how can he suppress Qin Zhen? Plotting the textile machine in Qin Zhen's hands?

Not!

Gotta slander this kid! Let the city lord be disgusted with Qin Zhen!

"Let's get started!" The Offshore Castle Lord laughed.

I saw Huang Dalang straighten up and shouted outside.

"The auspicious time has arrived, Miss He Ying'er is on her birthday, and she will start offering treasures."

A twenty-centimeter-tall jade sculpture was pushed in, lifelike, and expensive, causing people to exclaim!

I only heard the loud voice of He Guan through the corridor.

fell on Huang Dalang's smug face.

"Huang Dalang of the Huang family, Miss He's birthday, give a rare jade jade carving!"
