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

Chapter 986: Veteran Officials' Views on This

Zheng Xiucai’s sigh didn’t last long.

After all, he doesn't want to arouse public anger, right?
"Everyone, don't blame Zheng for feeling emotional. It's just that the rules have been changed so suddenly that I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"It's like Zheng. If it was in front of other people, Zheng might have been reserved for a while, but now everyone here is a neighbor, so there is nothing to hide."

"Everyone knows that my parents suffered a lot and lost their smiles for Zheng's document."

"Fortunately, Zheng has managed to do well, at least not letting his parents' hard work go to waste."

"But on the other hand, Zheng looked back and realized that Huaxia does not recognize lowly status. Once you go there, you will be considered a good citizen. This makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"After all, I've suffered so much, but you don't have to suffer this much. You've been born with something that my family couldn't get before. It's strange that Zheng feels comfortable."

Master Wang stopped talking, and no one else said anything either.

They may not understand any profound principles, but they do know one thing.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

Fortunately, Zheng Xiucai only felt melancholy for a moment before he recovered. After drinking a sip of wine, he smiled calmly and said.

"I'm sorry, neighbors, Master Wang, I just lost my composure!"

"However, let's go back to Master Wang's question."

"Now that anyone can take the civil service exam, what do current officials think?"

"Zheng's previous boss gave an interesting answer!"

"He made two points. First, everyone seems to be able to take the exam, but it's like you, Master Wang. You are a carpenter. Although your family is not lacking, it is better than others."

"So, even if you take the tuition to find a teacher for your child, do you think you can find a better teacher than the one that Zheng's boss gave to his child?"

"Then, after returning from the teacher, Zheng's boss can tutor the child and teach by example, but what about you?"

"So, Zheng's boss smiled and said that everyone is the same on the surface, but there are still differences inside."

"According to Zheng's boss, this policy actually takes care of poor people like Zheng who are ambitious and have some qualifications!"

"If it was in the Ming Dynasty, if it was in the past, then unless my parents tried their best, Zheng would be someone's servant now."

"But in China, it's different. As long as Zheng wants to study and take exams, as long as he works hard, he will have a chance!"

"And if the children of officials are not cut out for studying and becoming officials, there is nothing we can do about it!"

When everyone heard this, they frowned and started to ponder.

This is true.

It seems that the restrictions have been relaxed, but in reality, can these good teachers and good masters be worshipped simply by bringing some tuition fees?

Not to mention what Zheng Xiucai had just said, that the boss would spread rumors about his status after returning home.

This is someone's family tradition, and he passed it on to his son. You can only envy him.

And Zheng Xiucai's story continues.

"When I said this first point, I just felt that my boss was wise and intelligent. But when my boss mentioned the second point, I was completely convinced."

As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of everyone who was originally thinking about their own affairs was immediately drawn to Zheng Xiucai.

"The second point that my boss Zheng made is that if you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries!"

"Being an official is not always smooth sailing. Even if you work hard all your life and retire with honor, whether your children can take over and succeed in officialdom is another matter."

"But now that Huaxia has relaxed the restrictions on household registration and abolished the status of slaves, my boss Zheng has decided to defect to Huaxia."

"Because in his mind, this is actually an opportunity!"

"What chance?" "That is, as long as his family is not beheaded for a crime like that, his descendants will not fall into slavery. As long as they study hard, they will be able to return to the officialdom in a few years!"

"This is a comeback for his family!"

“This advantage is what he really values.”

"As soon as this was said, Zheng and his colleagues toasted the other party with three glasses of wine!"

"If for no other reason, it's because of this boss's long-term vision!"

Everyone was also filled with emotion when they heard this.

So this is ah.

It seems that anyone who can become a high-ranking official really has some ability.

They didn't think that far ahead.

As for others, their children haven’t even started school or taken exams yet, but they have already figured out how to make a comeback.

No wonder he can become an official.

When Master Wang heard this, he nodded repeatedly.

Obviously, these words touched his heart.

He was not afraid that he could not become an official. If he could become an official, he would do it. If he could not become one, he would not have to make a living.

But he has to think about his children.

It would be best if your children could inherit your skills and even carry them forward.

But what if you don’t have this talent?
If you can study hard and become an official, that would be a good way out.

Multiple choices, that's better than anything else!
Thinking of this, Master Wang felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Zheng Xiucai.

"Zheng Xiucai, thank you very much for answering my questions!"

"Your words are too important to me!"

"Now I know that I have to go to China!"

"If nothing else, even if I could just continue to be a carpenter!"

"At least this way, I don't have to worry about what to do if my child is not suitable to be a carpenter."

"If you can't be a carpenter, go to school and learn to read. You can become an official in the future!"

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zheng, let me ask you another question. Since the Chinese nation has even eliminated the differences between household registrations, has the gap between officials also been eliminated?"

"If that's the case, then won't the clerk have to be a clerk for the rest of his life?"

"Isn't that a bit useless after you die?"

Master Wang is a typical example of someone who is greedy for more after getting something.

This official hasn't even passed the exam yet, but he's already starting to worry about his future.

But Zheng Xiucai thought it was natural.

This person is completely different inside and outside the officialdom.

As long as you enter this circle, even if you only step half a foot in, you will think differently from ordinary people.

If you don't think ahead, then you will be cheated and killed by someone, or fall into a ditch while walking, and you won't even have any tears to cry.

Of course, Master Wang’s strategy here cannot be called far-reaching, but only a few ideas. (End of this chapter)
