Chapter 37 Visiting the County

Looking at Patriarch Feng's reactions before and after. Li Miao could only shake his head. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that people's hearts are unpredictable. Some people use empathy to figure out other people's thoughts. In fact, everyone is an individual. No two will be the same. Different people will have different reactions to the same thing. Unless you have the ability to read minds,

So the best way is from the perspective of interests. to analyze the other party’s behavior. Rather than trying to figure it out. The benefits are actually very broad, not only material but also spiritual. Pleasure, honor, etc.

In the end, Li Miao spent a total of 6,500 taels of silver. The title deed was changed. Includes deed tax. I also changed my outfit by the way, and now I look like a normal person. Long gowns are not easy to buy. Especially with his current size. I went to several stores before buying two. It seems that he should wear the clothes made by his grandma and mother when he returns home.

There is still a question that I can’t figure out. Why did I suddenly look like this while standing in that vegetable field and missing the past? There is always a causal relationship in it. Apart from growing up, nothing else has changed. Hey, just take things as they come.

We know that Jintan County is very small, but after looking around, this is too small. They are not as big as an ordinary town in later generations. Quite different from what was imagined. A north-south river runs through the city. The river is about twenty meters wide. Extremely crowded with boats of all sizes. Small fishing boats can easily enter the city. It seems that traffic control is still not working.

Waterways are the lifeblood of transportation in this world. Storefronts along both sides of the river. This is the most prosperous road section in this county, and Li Miao just walked around like that. Not much more than what was available in their town. Walking in the streets and alleys, looking at the houses in Jintan County. It can only be described as disorganized. Some courtyards are simple and elegant. There are also thatched houses. There are also many mud-walled houses. It seems to be in the county seat. The gap between rich and poor is wider than in rural areas. Look at the people on the street.

Traveling in a hurry. There are rich people wearing fine clothes. Walk leisurely with hands behind your back. There are poor people in coarse short coats walking in a hurry. There were even naked people huddled in the street corner, looking at the people passing by with a look of fear on their faces. Li Miao would throw away a few pieces of broken silver when he passed by. Throwing too much is harmful. Suddenly I no longer had the desire to go shopping.

Turning heads on the road is too high. It really doesn't fit in with his principle of being low-key. Even if the breath is collected, the effect is minimal. This is also a society that values ​​appearance. Perhaps even more so than in later generations. Anyway, if you are not good enough to be an official, even if you are an official, it will affect your official career, and you will not be able to be an official if you have physical defects. Of course, one's origin is also important, as it was a feudal hierarchical society. Can you not watch the birth?

Classes in this world are more solidified than those in later generations. Commoners belong to the grassroots of society, and of course there are many lowly people below. If ordinary people want to get ahead, they can only study. Become an official by acquiring citizens. But it is too difficult, and now Li Miao has been working hard for it, not to mention other poor scholars.

Stayed one night in the county town. Mainly for flipping through books. Now he no longer has a photographic and ten-line glance, but is like a camera. Due to the strength of his soul, he can memorize a book even after flipping through it.

The more he reads, the more bookish he becomes. Bookishness is the holy tool for picking up girls in this world. Why do we often see Miss So-and-so being picked up by a passing scholar? To know. This is a world where chastity is more important than life. They were all stunned by the bookish temperament.

Books such as commentaries on the Four Books and Five Classics are quite complete. As for other reference materials, they are still very scarce. Limited resources were in the hands of large families and official families. It is more difficult for ordinary people to become a scholar than it is for later generations to win a big prize. No wonder Fan Jin went crazy when he won the exam.

Have you ever heard of a few people in later generations who would go crazy if they won the jackpot? Therefore, Li Miao could only flip through books and miscellaneous books. Miscellaneous books are also all-inclusive, including medical, travel, cultural, etc.

Don’t imperial examination articles involve these? Li Miao is now accumulating knowledge. He went to a bookstore and came out. I always buy some four treasures of study and the like. The shopkeeper and the waiter looked a little better.
