As for the subsequent situation where aristocratic families are exploited, wouldn't there be an opportunity to thoroughly liquidate their assets? The national treasury certainly won't be short of money in the short term, and the project to increase the population with billions in subsidies can continue to be implemented!
Cao Wei was very happy, as the King of Wu bestowed many gifts upon her.
Cao Wei was very satisfied with her trip to the palace, which included food and gifts. The king was even worried that she might get tired, so he sent a palanquin to escort her out of the palace.
This made Cao Wei, who had been living off others, extremely smug. If she had known it would be this good, she would have impersonated him much earlier. If she hadn't been constantly being tested by the NPC Jiang Gong while staying at home after impersonating him, she wouldn't have become a minor official with an employment certificate left behind by a noble family.
That's right. She only found out after impersonating a nobleman that there was no imperial examination here. Each aristocratic family had its own quota for officials, while the other poor people, like the strategists, didn't actually hold office. They were only provided with food and lodging, and the more capable ones might receive a small salary, but it wasn't much—roughly equivalent to contract work. No, it should be considered outsourcing, since these aristocratic sons who entered the court as officials didn't actually do any work.
"What a wicked feudal society!" Cao Wei sighed as she ate pastries on the palanquin. The pastries here were delicious, not too sweet at all.
Not to mention that when she was called to a meeting, the room was packed with people, but she wasn't drowsy at all; instead, she was full of enthusiasm, which gave her the opportunity to stand out.
Hehe, life is getting better and better.
[Tsk tsk tsk, the idyllic life of nobles here, while many soldiers struggle for survival over there—it's truly a dream world (eating meme).]
Many people thought he was a good person, but they never expected that he would be threatened by Xie Yanhua and betray Zhang Ertian.
[Zhang Ertian is constantly disrupting many people's escape plans; they'll definitely sell him out!]
[What escape plan?! Even our travel permits have been confiscated. Going out without a permit means you're a deserter, and if you encounter soldiers, you'll be eliminated on the spot! An escape plan?!]
【No way?! That Zhang Ertian guy has this kind of brain?! And he's even hindering so many escape plans?!】
【I don't understand either, I don't know ┓( ′?` )┏, Zhang Ertian just eats and strolls around every day, avoiding training, right? How could he have time to hinder so many escape attempts?! 】
[Confused emoji pack.JPG]
I often watch escape room livestreams for entertainment, and Zhang Ertian always appears. How come it's not Zhang Ertian who ruined things?
[Huh?! Ruined the escape plan? Wasn't he just trying to find a place to dodge the training soldiers and space out?!]
[Huh?! Zhang Ertian didn't deliberately sabotage many of the escape plans?! (Round head spinning, completely bewildered emoji)]
[Then why do so many people stop running whenever they see Zhang Ertian?!]
[Silent Contemplation Emoji.JPG]
[Probably afraid Zhang Ertian would report him (the truth is just a meme.JPG)]
"I'm not going."
Xie Yanhua glanced at Xu Duo, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of "This is the person you found?!"
Many wiped away non-existent sweat, saying, "Wait a moment."
Zhang Ertian was a little confused. Although he didn't know why he had been suddenly called over, it didn't seem like he was being punished. Besides, he wasn't afraid. What was the big deal? If he got caught, he'd just get a few words, write a self-criticism, and have his parents called. It was that simple routine, which he was very familiar with.
He didn't talk back when he was criticized; he just let it go in one ear and out the other. When it came to writing a self-criticism, he just copied it from someone else who was arrested with him. No one would notice. Look, Xu Duo was arrested too, and this guy looked like a good student. After Xu Duo finished writing, he copied it.
As for calling his parents, they stopped caring about him a long time ago. Even if they answered the phone, they probably wouldn't take it seriously. Besides, they've started a new relationship with his sister. His parents used to try to manage him, but after realizing he was completely useless with terrible grades, they barely spoke to him anymore.
I get annoyed whenever I see him. Sometimes when I get angry, I hit him. It doesn't hurt, but it's a little embarrassing to be seen by his "little brother" through the crack in the door.
He used to be called an ungrateful brat, criticized for being raised by his grandparents but not close to them and lacking manners, and he would sometimes argue back. But after failing his high school entrance exams and losing his grandparents, he lost all ambition; he just drifted along. His grandparents had told him before they passed that these were his parents, and he wouldn't starve; at most, he'd just go hungry for a few meals.
His girlfriend is the one who's really miserable. She used to be such a good student, but her parents divorced and remarried, so she was left in her hometown. Her parents didn't pay for her tuition, and she didn't go to high school. She just spent her days with them.
"Zhang Ertian, don't you want to go to Zhao to be a spy? You'll have food and lodging, and we'll even pay you."
Zhang Ertian was tempted by many things. He thought to himself, "Everyone who comes to this show must have some purpose. They can't just sign up for fun, can they?"
Zhang Ertian shook his head. He couldn't be bothered to think about those things. If he wanted money, he'd definitely have to work. But working was exhausting; just look at his friends who hadn't gone to school and were now working. He planned to play around for a few years, and only go to work when his parents couldn't stand him anymore and kicked him out. He definitely didn't want to go now. He had a place to stay and food here, and although he wasn't always full, it was still pretty good.
Many were speechless. What's with the pretense?! Not seeking money?! Or perhaps craving fame and fortune?!
"If you go, he might appoint you as a great general!"
Zhang Ertian shook his head again. What a joke! A general? What a load of rubbish! He didn't believe it. Even though he was broke, Xu Duo was still trying so hard to persuade him. Could it be the legendary kidney-draining disease?! He remembered Xu Duo saying he knew medicine. Although Zhang Ertian didn't believe it, maybe that medicine was kidney-draining?!
Zhang Ertian instinctively stepped back and clutched his kidney. "I don't get kidney problems. Don't try to fool me!"
"Who wanted to cut your kidneys?! What nonsense are you spouting?! Do you think I'm that kind of person?! I'm a graduate student from a prestigious medical school, why would I need to cut your kidneys?! This is slander!! Defamation! I'm going to sue you!..."
With many breaches in the defenses, Xie Yanhua's expression inside the tent was quite amused.
Zhang Ertian started to drift off. The tent looked quite large, more spacious than where he slept. Were those grapes on the table? That person's clothes looked pretty cool; he'd probably look handsome in them too. Add a longsword, *snap*, the blade unsheathed—super cool! Zhang the Hero has arrived! All the bystanders dispersed!
He'll act on behalf of Heaven, bringing the bad guys to justice! Hehe, and then when he gets rewarded, he'll leave alone in style, hehe. Ideally, he'd team up with his buddies, appointing them as his Left and Right Generals. His girlfriend should also get a set of female warrior gear—a legendary couple, roaming the world together! Or maybe we should call it the "World's End Gang"! Sounds pretty cool! His girlfriend's girlfriends should join too; the gang needs to be big to look powerful!
Zhang Ertian let it go in one ear and out the other. All he saw was a bunch of mouths babbling away, spittle flying everywhere, and fingers flying through the air like some kind of conductor. He looked exactly like his middle school dean of students with the receding hairline. As for what they were saying, he automatically went silent.
