Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

When your mind is clear and open, you will naturally act without any worries!

In my past life, I had no power or influence, so I had to swallow my anger and endure everything. But now that I've transmigrated into this identity, if I still swallow my anger and endure everything, then what's the point of transmigrating?

If he weren't a bit arrogant, he wouldn't be worthy of Gao Qiu's position as military governor!

If anyone dares to check my room again... ptooey, try stopping me from doing good deeds!

Gao Zhao made his decision, and the village head could not stop him, so he had no choice but to lead the group into the thatched hut.

The house was low and dimly lit, and it smelled of earth. Looking around, the walls were bare, with only a few scattered farm tools leaning against them. One side of the house had a large crack with traces of yellow mud used to patch it up.

"Old Zhang! We have a distinguished guest! Come out quickly!" The village headman shouted as soon as he entered the room, but then remembered Gao Zhao behind him and hurriedly turned around to apologize, "We're just country folk, we're used to speaking loudly, please don't take offense, young master!"

Gao Zhao waved his hand, indicating that it was alright. Then he heard footsteps behind him. Soon after, a thin man with graying hair came out carrying a hoe.

Behind him followed a young girl, her eyes timidly hiding behind the man.

"Village head, what's this?" The honest and simple man was very nervous when he saw so many people suddenly appear in his house.

"Old Zhang, you've struck gold this time!" The village headman laughed and stepped forward to introduce him, "This is a distinguished guest from the city. He knows your family's situation and has come specifically to help you. Just tell him what you want!"

The thin man was not pleased upon hearing this; instead, his expression turned serious. He stepped aside to shield his daughter completely, and said warily, "I'm not selling my daughter. You should leave!"

Gao Zhao was speechless for a moment. The atmosphere in the Great Song Dynasty was not right!

I did a good deed and was mistaken for a human trafficker. Are there no good people left in this world?

Besides, with your daughter's plain figure and dark face, do you think I'm blind? I'd buy her!

I've seen people who have great potential, even on small branches!

"What nonsense are you spouting! Who said they wanted to buy your daughter!" Li Zhengyi declared righteously and forcefully, "Our Great Song Dynasty forbids the enslavement of people!"

However, the village head's words were not very convincing. The man still stared at the group warily, gripping his hoe tightly, ready to fight them to the death if they made any rash moves!

Seeing this, Gao Zhao knew he couldn't dispel the other party's doubts, so he stepped forward and said gently, "Old man, don't worry. We are not bad people. We just came to help those in distress because we received instructions from the officials a few days ago!"

The feelings of the common people are simple. In their hearts, the emperor is naturally good. Even if there are some wrong decisions, it is because of the deception of treacherous officials.

Upon hearing Gao Zhao invoke the name of the official, the man's expression softened slightly.

Seeing this, Gao Zhao smiled, took out twenty strings of cash from his pocket, and handed it to the man, saying, "This should be enough for you to get through these days, right?"

When the village head saw this thing, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. This money certificate was used by the imperial court to swindle money. Although the face value of twenty strings of cash seemed large, in reality, it was considered good if you could get two strings of cash!

However, the man did not complain. After confirming that Gao Zhao had really given it to him for free, he accepted it with great gratitude. Even though the currency had depreciated significantly, it could still be exchanged for real grain.

Gao Zhao looked at the unmoved panel and was a little angry. The atmosphere in the Song Dynasty was corrupt, and everyone was an ingrate!

If he weren't worried about it affecting his later plans, he would have wanted to take the money back!

"Let's go! Next one!" Gao Zhao suppressed his displeasure and walked out of the thatched hut.

Just as I was about to try my luck again, the panel suddenly moved.

[Gratitude points from Zhang Shan +1]

[Gratitude points from Zhang Xiaolan +1]

Gao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then realized that this guy was actually worried that he was going to take his daughter away. Only after he left did he feel relieved and grateful to him!

Alas, what a petty mind!

After some reflection, Gao Zhao followed the village head to visit several poor households. These households consisted of two or three people, or four or five people, and were all small households. After giving away some money, he actually received ten gratitude points!

This delighted him so much that he didn't even bother to investigate those ungrateful people!

The young master is magnanimous and doesn't hold grudges!

His foolish and rich behavior quickly spread throughout the village, and a group of villagers even stopped doing their farm work to come and climb onto the door frame to watch the spectacle.

Seeing Gao Zhao generously give money, a group of people were extremely envious. Wasn't this a windfall?

Why didn't it hit my head?

Some people are envious, and naturally, others can't resist taking action!

Seeing that Gao Zhao paid so readily, one of the men gritted his teeth and stepped forward, saying, "I am poor and still owe some debts. I wonder if you, sir..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Zhao had already stuffed a money note into his hand, without asking why, his main point was to show off his generosity!

As a result, the gratitude value increased by 1 again, and Gao Zhao and the farmers were all overjoyed!

This action immediately inspired other villagers to follow suit, and one by one they couldn't help but step forward to ask for money.

Gao Zhao still gave money, but this time his expression wasn't very good. He gave out five or six portions, but only two children contributed gratitude points!

They're clearly treating him like a fool!

Gao Zhao felt like hitting someone!

The villagers, holding the money tokens, were too happy to notice Gao Zhao's changing expression. They thought he had met a sucker and a spendthrift, and were secretly delighted, thanking the God of Wealth for his blessing!

Among the crowd, there was a young man who was different from the ignorant men and women. He observed Gao Zhao with a thoughtful expression. In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The other party must have something in mind!

The other party is throwing money around without making any demands; what they're after is definitely not profit, but fame!

He wanted to gain a good reputation by giving alms to the poor like himself!

Suddenly he laughed. Now that he knew what the other party wanted, things would be much easier!

You want a good reputation? Well, I'll grant your wish!

But how can we possibly spend so little money!

It's my destiny to make a fortune; I've stumbled upon such an opportunity!

You use money to buy fame, and I'll extort a hefty sum from you. What can you do about it?

If you dare to make a move, your hard-earned reputation will be completely ruined!

Having already spent a lot of money, they could only swallow their bitterness and accept it with a heavy heart!

The young man smiled smugly, stepped forward, pushed aside the person who was about to take the money, and snatched the money that was handed to him!

He exaggeratedly lifted it up to take a look, then immediately shouted, "Thank you so much for the ten strings of cash, young master!"

Gao Zhao was in a bad mood, so he stopped when he saw this and calmly looked at the person.

The young man continued, "But this coin is worthless! Please, sir, exchange it for copper coins!"

Upon seeing this, everyone around fell silent and watched the change unfold.

The village headman hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, "What are you doing! The young master kindly gave you money, why are you causing trouble!"

"Who's causing trouble!" the young man shouted, his neck stiff. "People are giving away money for fame, so we should see this good deed through to the end! My family is poor, we don't have enough to eat, our house needs repairs, and we're short of money everywhere!"

The eyes of the onlookers lit up, and they began to discuss and whisper among themselves.

They all know this request is unreasonable, but what if it is?

Wouldn't I be able to get more for myself?

After all, I've never seen anyone give away money for no reason before!

Gao Yi, enraged by the group's rudeness, shouted, "You're all ingrates! My son kindly helped you, and you're pushing your luck! You want to eat your fill, you want your house repaired, do you want me to give you an ox too?!"

"That would be wonderful!" the young man said with a grin. "If you even give me a cow, I'll certainly spread good word about your reputation, young master!"

Gao Yi was furious and about to continue his tirade, but Gao Zhao stopped him with a bright smile, saying, "Do you think I did this for fame?"

The young man sneered, "What else?"

"My name is Gao Zhao, and I have a nickname in the capital: Playboy Tyrant!"

The young man's expression changed drastically in an instant.
