I am the county magistrate in Daming

About a quarter ago, the voice of the system suddenly appeared in Mu Qingtian's head, and brought his first mission.

[The novice mission will start in half an hour, please find a place where there are no people to receive the mission as soon as possible. 】

Mu Qingtian was so frightened that he looked around guiltily, fearing that others could hear the voice of the corrupt officials system.Fortunately, Zhang Fu was explaining the wasteland at that time, and everyone's attention was not on him, so no one noticed Mu Qingtian's sudden abnormality and stiffness.

Speaking of it, the system did say that it would release newbie tasks in three days, but Mu Qingtian was too busy implementing his poverty alleviation strategy and forgot.

Leaving aside the people around him, Mu Qingtian walked along Huangtian's path until he reached a dry well at the edge of the field.

He approached the dry well stealthily, his peach blossom eyes kept darting at the way he came from and the direction of the village, vividly interpreting what it means to be "a guilty conscience".

[Newbie task: greedy for a cabbage and submit it.The Corrupt Official Mall is open. 】

"A cabbage? Is it that simple?" Mu Qingtian was surprised.

He was worried that the corrupt official system would issue him tasks such as "corrupt 10 taels of silver" and "become a historical-level corrupt official covering the sky with one hand", but he didn't expect it to be so plain and simple, with only one cabbage.

[It's that simple.The novice task has the lowest difficulty, and the task difficulty will gradually increase with the number of tasks you complete. 】

Then, do I still have to praise you "You are so humane"?Mu Qingtian slandered.

"There won't be any task of destroying the country in the future, right? I can't do that." Mu Qingtian asked cautiously, keeping his eyes open.

There are different opinions about the fall of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but "corrupt officials are rampant and eunuchs are rampant" is one of the important reasons that everyone agrees to.Especially now the emperor's father, Ming Xianzong, Mu Qingtian thought, the emperor's court is simply a large-scale Gu farm. Wang Zhi, Wan An, Li Xingzi, and Liang Fang fight each other to control the government. Outrageous.

He is just a small poverty alleviation cadre/department, he can help the poor but not rebel.

[The system respects history, and everything will develop according to the historical process. 】

Mu Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the stone edge of the dry well.

"By the way, the 'corrupt official mall' you mentioned just now, what is this?" He asked, shaking his stiff arms and legs.

[Every time you complete a task, the system will issue corresponding rewards and reward points. The rewards can be used directly, and the points can be used to exchange for items and buffs in the mall. 】

"So good?" Mu Qingtian was a little moved, "Can I open the mall now to see what's inside?"

[The mall can be opened at any time, just silently say 'open the mall'.The mall will automatically start after each mission, and the rewards can be accumulated and taken as you go. 】

Now Mu Qingtian really wants to praise the humanization of this corrupt official system!

He quickly closed his eyes and said "open the mall" silently. The next moment, a panel with a sense of future technology appeared in his mind.There are thirteen pages in the mall panel, and each page is 3X5 in size, which means that each page has fifteen props.Mu Qingtian took a cursory look, and found that there were even practical professional books like "How to Become a Pig Raising King" in it!

"System, why are some grids gray?" After turning to the second page, Mu Qingtian found that most of the grids on the second page were gray and invisible.

[Every time you complete a task, you can unlock more mall props.Gray means it's not available for purchase, so work hard to complete the quest. 】

Mu Qingtian counted, and now there are less than twenty items that have been unlocked, and there are hundreds of items waiting for him to explore!As long as he can complete the task, helping the poor and becoming rich is not a dream!

After being excited for a while, after calming down, Mu Qing remembered to check the price.Most of the props that are open now only need ten to fifty points. The second page is a little more expensive, and there is a compressed mask that needs to be exchanged for one hundred points.

Ah!Whoever buys such an expensive and useless thing is an idiot!

"How many points can I get for one mission?" Mu Qingtian asked.

[Complete novice tasks to get [-] points as the initial points.At the same time, in order to improve the user experience, Corrupt Official Mall specially launched the "credit account" function, which can unlock props in advance.You can credit three times for free in total. After the free times are used up, you only need to pay off the subsequent credit within the specified time limit. 】

Oh, you are not humanized!Mu Qingtian yelled.

The first item on the first page of the shopping mall panel is a free cabbage, which is why the system says that the [-] points rewarded by the novice task are the initial points.

Mu Qingtian imagined a hand and tapped on the free cabbage.

The system immediately popped up a prompt: [Would you like to spend 0 points to purchase the item "Gift for Novices"? 】

"confirm."

Mu Qingtian only felt a weight in his hand, and a cabbage appeared in his arms out of thin air.The vegetable leaves are attractive green from the inside to the outside, and there are still morning dewdrops hanging on them.

[Due to the particularity of the mall, please be sure to avoid other people every time you exchange. 】

Mu Qingtian hugged the cabbage tightly and nodded, he could still carry it clearly.A cabbage suddenly appeared in his arms, and anyone who saw it would find it strange.

[Now please say 'submit task' silently, and hand in the cabbage to complete the novice task.The system will go into hibernation after you complete the novice mission and will not start up again unless your life is threatened.Good luck. 】

Mu Qingtian slowly opened his eyes, but met a pair of pure black pupils.

Finish!Egg!up!

He was so focused that he didn't notice anyone approaching here.Mu Qingtian pretended to be calm, and stared at the child in front of him.He wondered how much the child had seen, whether he had heard him talking to himself.

Qingtian's poverty alleviation was not halfway, but the middle way collapsed. Today, this little life will be explained here!

However, after looking at each other for a while, Mu Qingtian found that the child's attention did not seem to be on him.The child looked at him with fear, longing, and more prayer.Although he kept looking into Mu Qingtian's eyes, his eyes drifted to the cabbage in Mu Qingtian's arms from time to time.

"Do you want this?" Mu Qingtian handed over the cabbage and asked tentatively.

The kid nodded.

"Good boy, tell uncle, did you see how this cabbage appeared?" Mu Qingtian softened his tone, and there was more love in his eyes.

The child shook his head again.He came back from the woods behind, and he didn't see the process of the cabbage appearing.

Mu Qingtian let go of her heart and set her eyes on the child.The overly baggy clothes, with many signs of mending around the shoulder and chest holes, didn't seem to help.A bit of flesh color came out from the hole in the chest, and Mu Qingtian clearly counted the child's four ribs.

His eye sockets were a little sour. When he first came to Xiaoheye Village, the children there were all like this. They were all skinny and severely malnourished.

"Where is your home, how many people are there?" Mu Qingtian put the cabbage on his knees, and covered the child's little hands in his arms.

The child still didn't speak, struggling to get his hand out.Dad said, this man is a big bad guy, he can't talk to bad guys.

Mu Qingtian didn't know where the resistance from the people in Zimingli came from. Seeing the child struggling so hard that his face turned red, he could only let go.

"If you tell Uncle why you want this cabbage, Uncle will give it to you, okay?"

Most of Xiaoheye Village are widowed elderly and left-behind children. Mu Qingtian still has a way of dealing with children.

Sure enough, when he heard him say that he would give this cabbage to himself, the child's eyes lit up.But he is still hesitating whether the cabbage is more important or his father's words are more important.

After a while, the child seemed to have made some important decision, and took a step towards Mu Qingtian, and said, "I, my family is in the east of the village, and there are seven people in my family. Mother, mother..."

When mentioning his own mother, the child's voice choked up, and his little face, which was not energetic at all, collapsed.

"Mother will starve to death if she doesn't eat anymore."

Since Mingli is remote, the people have no land to grow, no grain to store at home, and even food to eat.Although no one died of starvation, the day-to-day hunger has already worn down the will of the people.If the people don't have enough to eat, they won't have the strength to get up and farm, and if they don't farm, they will have nothing to eat, and they can only fall into a cycle of despair.

"Hold it well." Mu Qingtian put the cabbage into the child's arms with a solemn expression, "Hurry up and take the cabbage home."

The people in Zimingli were unwilling to talk to him, and Zhang Fu only said things that were beneficial to him, Mu Qingtian couldn't tell how much of Zhang Fu's story was true or false.The only real thing is that the people in Zimingli are indeed living in dire straits, and it is imminent to solve the problem of food and clothing.

When Wu Tingyun arrived, Mu Qingtian had just delivered the cabbage and was about to take his hand away.He thought that Mu Qingtian was going to grab the kid's cabbage, so he yelled without thinking, alarming the big and small people beside the dry well.

"Ah! He fell!"

Mu Qingtian was sitting on the edge of the well, but was startled by Wu Tingyun's roar, lost his balance and fell straight backward into the dry well.

[You, you have lost the novice mission props. ] For the first time, the system's calm and waveless voice fluctuated, and it was hesitation.

Mu Qingtian lay at the bottom of the well, staring at the round sky above his head with dead fish eyes.

Gan! ! !That cabbage is his mission prop!

"One cabbage, I'll just go and buy another one."

[Please note that the task requirement is "greedy", and the cabbage purchased through trading or grown by yourself does not count. 】

"System." Mu Qingtian looked tragic, "For the sake of the novice task, can the punishment be lighter?"

[…… The novice task is limited to ten days, you can work harder. 】

"It's so inhumane!" Mu Qingtian yelled from the bottom of the well, "Haven't you guys considered the loss of props!!"

Because you are the only one who has been stumped by novice tasks for so many years! !The system couldn't help but start complaining.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Tingyun's voice floated down from the mouth of the well.
