Chapter 11 County magistrate official seal
As all parties had their own thoughts, delicacies were served one after another, and the aroma of wine lingered, making people drunk before they drank the wine.

Qin Yuan looked at the dishes on the table, most of them were steamed meat, only one or two vegetables.

In the era of the Lie Han Dynasty, delicious green vegetables were extremely rare, and instead became a luxury.

Not only vegetables, but also meat. Ordinary people can only eat a little during the holidays.

On weekdays, I can only fill my stomach with staple foods such as rice and coarse grains.

In Qin Yuan's surprised eyes, there was an extra bowl of white rice on the table, each of which was crystal clear and exuded a strong smell.

Qin Yuan's surprise was that rice was served at the banquet of the Qin family.

It's not that Qin Yuan looks down on rice, but it's usually a rich family who can hold a banquet. They always focus on big wine and meat. What the hell is rice?

Could it be that the Qin family's wealth cannot support such a banquet?
"Master, this is tribute rice from the south of the Yangtze River. Generally, only japonica rice is offered as a tribute to the imperial court. Only the royal family is eligible to eat it. I heard it tastes pretty good."

Feng Chengjiu squatted aside and explained with a smile.

Jiangnan Gongmi?Qin Yuan was stunned, and looked around. Except for his table, there were only a few tables next to him. All of these people were the most distinguished people in the city.

Qin Yuan hesitated for a moment, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the crystal white rice. After tasting it for a while, he felt that it tasted okay.

It tastes better than ordinary rice, but compared with the improved genetic rice in the main world, it still tastes a bit worse, and its nutrition is not as good.

But considering that this is an ancient feudal dynasty, this kind of tribute rice is considered to be high-quality rice, and only the royal family and nobles can afford it. Could it be put on the banquet?

Qin Yuan wondered, can any kind of rice in the main world compare to the royal tribute rice in Liehan Imperial City?

It seems that the plan to transport supplies is about to be implemented. After this mission is completed, we will get a batch of supplies.

Qin Yuan's eyes were bright, thinking about the plan.

"It's delicious. I finally got some from the Gu family. This banquet is probably used up."

Feng Chengjiu swallowed and continued.

Qin Yuan nodded slightly, and looked at the second row on the left, Gu Yun, the patron of the Gu family.

Gu Yunyun seemed to feel Qin Yuan's gaze, and smiled at him, then looked him up and down, and then nodded slightly.

Gu Yiying next to her looked curiously at the handsome young man who was not much older than her.

She is not ignorant, and even girls in ancient times were more precocious in marriage, and they guessed a little bit about her father taking her to the banquet.

Not long after the guests arrived, Mr. Qin Zhen slowly walked from the backyard.

Immediately, everyone put down their wine glasses, stopped talking, and focused their eyes on Qin Zhen who was full of energy, secretly startled.

"The old man's health is getting better and better!"

"The old man will grow stronger and stronger, and he will not lose his old age!"

"Grandpa's physical strength, it's not a problem to regenerate a few more!"

"."

Everyone uttered good words after a meal, and almost praised Qin Zhen to the sky.

Qin Zhen greeted him with a smile and stepped forward.

"Grandpa is here, sit down and eat first."

Qin Yuan stood up and bowed slightly towards Qin Zhen before sitting down again. "Everyone, thank you for coming to the banquet, please sit down."

There are two wine tables on the upper seat, Qin Yuan sits on the middle one, and the old man's wine table is a little to the right.

Qin Zhen seemed to have no objection to this arrangement, and the smile on his face remained undiminished.

Everyone's eyes once again fell on Qin Yuan.

Make up!

This thought came to many people's minds.

The dignified old master of the Qin family, Qin Zhen, the former head of the Qin family, a master of the ninth level of physical training, has not cared about world affairs for many years.

Unexpectedly, today, she was willing to show her face in public to create momentum for Qin Yuan.

Even when Qin Wang was in power back then, he didn't have this kind of treatment.

Everyone looked at the young man on the main seat. At first glance, he was handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary bearing. After a few more glances, he actually had a faint princely demeanor.

Illusion?Maybe not.

Qin Chi looked at the old and the young with a livid face, and crushed the corner of the table with his right hand.

He sat on the wine table of the military general, three or four rows away from the upper seat.

In other words, there was no place for him at the banquet.

Hmph, since you want to create momentum, then use your strength to build it. It's not about making a wedding dress for me.

Qin Chi looked at Dai Gongze beside him, and a sense of pride arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate, your face looks a little bad. Young man, please take care of yourself. I'd like to propose a toast to you."

Qin Zhen raised his wine glass and looked at Wei Shangshi.

Wei Shangshi, who was sitting upright, trembled, "What the old man said is that I respect you."

"Hello magistrate, please take care of me in the future."

After Qin Zhen introduced him for a while, Qin Yuan realized that this pale middle-aged man, who looked like he was drinking too much, was the magistrate of Wucheng in name only.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Wei Shangshi quickly waved his hands.

"Since you don't dare to take the role, why not let my grandson take the role? Qin Yuan has studied poetry and books since he was a child, and has a different opinion on governing the people."

Qin Zhen's words changed suddenly, and he said suddenly.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qin Zhen to come to do such a thing, this was completely unexpected to him.

But that's okay, after controlling the Qin family, the next step is to control Mingwu County, which can save a lot of effort.

The tables around were quiet, and their eyes were on Qin Yuan and Wei Shangshi.

Wei Shangshi's face turned pale. After a long time, his eyes gradually lost their light, and he put down his wine glass.

"I have been the county magistrate for many years, but I have made no achievements. I have no face to face my father and fellow villagers. I will write a memorial tomorrow to ask my lord to let Mr. Qin Yuan serve as the county magistrate."

Wei Shangshi trembled with his hands, took out a heavy cloth bag, and placed it on the wine table. Suddenly, he seemed to have lost his soul, "I, Mr. Luodu, do not plan to go back. I hope to return to my hometown to retire."

"Thank you, Lord Magistrate. After the thieves recede, I will send Master Wei a sum of money, enough to spend the rest of your life."

Qin Yuan said with a smile, he did not expect to get the official seal so easily. Although the imperial court's order has not yet come down, in the three mu of land in Mingwu City, the Qin family is the emperor.

However, having a county magistrate with a real name makes the rule more stable.

Wei Shangshi was willing to give up his position. The reason is not difficult to guess. One is Qin Zhen's deterrence, coupled with the fear that has been accumulated for many years.Second, he is a county magistrate in name only, and he has been very aggrieved for many years, so it is better not to do it.

Third, troubled times are coming. Even if he doesn't care about state affairs, he still has a sense of it. Now that Mingwu City is calm on the surface, it is actually about to become a storm. As the nominal highest official in the city, once the city is destroyed, He has absolutely no way out.

Feng Chengjiu on the side was very clever, and quickly brought the cloth bag over and handed it to Qin Yuan.

The thing inside the bag was just as Qin Yuan thought, it was the official seal of Mingwu County Magistrate.

"It seems a bit inappropriate."

Shen Liwen looked livid and said leisurely.

The Shen family was unable to join the army and had long coveted the position of county magistrate.

If he can serve as the county magistrate, then he can truly be on an equal footing with the Qin family.
