Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

At this time, Master Wang was also thinking about something with his head down.

He is not a pariah now.

But he is a craftsman.

This craftsmanship is actually not a good thing.

If you have a skill that can be passed down from generation to generation and can manage it well, you will not starve to death.

But if the next generation is not capable of being a craftsman, or cannot endure the hardship, then life will be difficult.

The key point is, it has been passed down for thousands of years, and everyone else wants to be an official, so doesn't he want to?

But being a craftsman made him feel like he was in heaven.

Even if you are extremely talented, you cannot change the fact that craftsmen cannot take the imperial examinations.

Originally, Master Wang was thinking about whether he could get some long-term and stable job in China.

Later, he thought, since other craftsmen could become officials in the Chinese country, could he also try?

Even though he knew that the craftsmen in China would definitely be working as officials in the Ministry of Industry.

But he is also an official!
At least it’s better than being an ordinary craftsman among the people, right?
But what he never expected was that there was a surprise?

How could the Chinese nation be so bold as to directly abolish the household registration policy originally set by Emperor Hongwu?
There is no lowly class, no distinction between scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans?

Doesn't that mean that if Wang Laoshi works hard, he might actually be able to become an official?
He didn't want to be an official anymore. Although he knew a few words, he had no serious knowledge at all.

Going to the examiner is nonsense.

But if I take the exam to become a civil servant, wouldn’t that bring honor to the family?

However, this matter still needs to be clarified.

Thinking of this, he stood up and shouted again to the shopkeeper who was craning his neck to watch the fun inside.

"Boss, give Zheng Xiucai another roast chicken!"

"It's still on someone's account!"

When Zheng Xiucai heard this, he didn't even bother to answer other people's questions and hurriedly bowed.

"Oh my, Master Wang, that's so polite!"

"Zheng is just helping to spread one or two pieces of information. I don't deserve such a generous gift!"

But at this time, Master Wang just waved his hand.

"Zheng Xiucai, you deserve it, you deserve it!"

"Don't worry about you laughing at me, but at the beginning, I was thinking about asking around in China to see if I could find some work to do."

"But as I listened, I suddenly realized that this official seemed like something I could give it a try."

"It's just that I'm just a rough guy and have never touched these things before, so there are still some things I want to ask you, Mr. Zheng, for advice."

"You have to pay a tuition fee to become a disciple. We are not becoming a disciple, but we can't just ask for nothing, right?"

"So, just accept this roast chicken peacefully. Even when you go home later, you can openly say that someone sent it to you. That way, you can explain to Madam Zheng even if you are drunk, right?"

Upon hearing his wife's name, Zheng Xiucai fell silent.

Don’t say that, don’t say that.

If I really do this, maybe I won't be scolded when I go back, and I can also make my wife happy for a while.

It seems that Master Wang has gained some experience from battling wits and courage with his wife on a daily basis.

When Zheng Xiucai thought about being able to show off in front of his wife after returning home drunkenly, he immediately felt a surge of pride in his heart.

He simply patted his chest and spoke in a heroic manner.

"In that case, I would like to thank Master Wang for his kindness!" "No problem, Master Wang, if you have any questions, just ask."

"If Zheng really doesn't know, that's fine. But as long as Zheng knows, Zheng will definitely tell you everything he knows!"

"it is good!"

Hearing Zheng Xiucai's confident words, the crowd watching the fun on the side also started to cheer and make a fuss.

Of course we have to applaud!

Although the money for the roast chicken was paid by Master Wang and the questions were asked by Master Wang, the audience was everyone.

Isn't this a free and honest answer?
Wouldn’t everyone cheer loudly?
This is not only a cheer for Zheng Xiucai's answer just now, but also a cheer for Master Wang, the big money man who paid the money today.

When Master Wang heard what Zheng Xiucai said, he was also excited!

I'm not afraid of spending money. This is just a small amount of money for food and drinks.

He is a carpenter.

He is still a "master craftsman" who works for others with his apprentices!
In the past, as long as he put a little thought into it, he would have plenty of opportunities to make money when cutting and preparing ingredients.

Although I was very nervous about earning that little money, I was able to save some wood thanks to my superb skills.

But that income is much better than that of ordinary people.

If this was some big place like a gathering place for friends, then Master Wang would naturally not be so generous.

That place is so weird!

In general, eating and drinking is not only delicious but also inexpensive.

But if you really eat and drink to your heart's content and choose the best and most expensive food, you can definitely spend many people's life savings in one meal.

But in these days, how much does a small pub like this run by neighbors cost at most?
The most outstanding dish here is the roast chicken, of which only a few are prepared every day.

Compared to the information I'm going to find out later, it's almost like I didn't spend any money.

Master Wang was quite particular. He waited until the steaming hot roast chicken was served, Zheng Xiu took a bite of half a chicken leg, and then took a sip of wine before he started to ask real questions.

"Zheng Xiucai, I just want to ask you something. You said before that the household registration of Huaxia has changed."

"Then the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are all the same, and there is no longer any class of inferiors. Doesn't that mean anyone can become an official?"

"Then those officials who came from the Ming Dynasty before, will they agree to this?"

When Zheng Xiucai heard this question, he immediately gave Master Wang a thumbs up.

"Master Wang, just because you can ask this question, I really think you can be a clerk."

"Your vision is unmatched by ordinary people."

"It just so happened that when Zheng's boss was seeing him off before he left for China, someone asked this question."

"At the time, we thought, if anyone can become an official after taking the exam, then wouldn't it be a waste of our time to get such a good name?"

"Besides, if so many people really come to take the exam, wouldn't it mean that many of our descendants who could have passed the exam will not be able to do so?"

"You know what? Zheng's boss actually answered this question."

"I have to say, otherwise how can people be superiors? People can see farther than us."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xiucai began to sigh.

This made everyone very anxious.

We're about to hear the key part, why the hell are you feeling so emotional?

Can't you just tell me what you know, then take your roast chicken and wine home to share your feelings with your wife? (End of this chapter)
