"Sir, you have now become a wise Confucian scholar in the countryside. In the future, when Qinghe County compiles the county annals, you will definitely be included!"
After Li Mu returned to the carriage, Hu Yunniang very obediently offered tea to Li Mu, and then gently rubbed Li Mu's back and legs: "Sir, your prestige in Qinghe and Baoming counties is enough to change the birthplace of another person!"<

Although the imperial examinations in the Great Yin Dynasty were mainly based on scientific examinations, when a certain person made great merits and alerted the court, the court would definitely reward him, either by giving him an official position or by giving him an honorary title.<
/p>
Especially for Confucian scholars, as long as they perform great meritorious deeds, they will inevitably get rid of their white bodies and become one of the court gentry.
With these merits, if you enter the officialdom, this can be regarded as a shining resume, and it will play a big role in your future promotion.
"If this were not the case, how could Zhou Daoquan have given me a career as a juren for nothing?"
Li Mu laughed and said: "This time your master went to Yunzhou Mansion. He only needs to show off and drink a few cups of tea with Mr. Zhou to be on the list, which saves my boss's energy!"
He and Zhang Shihong rescued the victims in Qinghe County and donated money and food, which was a great meritorious service. Governor Zhou Daoquan specially praised the two of them, and appointed Zhang Shihong as the magistrate of Qinghe County, and Li Mu was also promoted to the Juren family.
He only needs to register his name at the government office during the provincial examination, and his identity will be confirmed.
Despite this, Li Mu still wants to pass the exam and try his literary skills in this field.
After all, he studied hard for a period of time and memorized the Confucian classics thoroughly. He also invited several famous Confucian scholars nearby to give lectures on the meaning of the classics to him.
I have invested so much money and put in a lot of effort. If I don’t go into the examination room and try it myself, I won’t be willing to accept it.
The status Zhou Daoquan gave him was far inferior to the one he obtained based on his own merit.
Although Li Mu doesn't care about the identity of the person.
It is just an identity in the mortal world, just like a senior civil servant in the modern Xia Kingdom. In Li Mu's eyes at this time, it is just one of his identities.
The red flames and copper horses pulled the red carriage, running on the official road. Under the sun, it was like a red smoke, pulling out a billowing smoke at the rear of the carriage.
As a puppet beast that Li Mu spent a lot of energy to refine, this fire bronze horse outlines a spiritual energy array in its body. After absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a night, and adding the blessing of millions of runes, this horse can run
Fast and powerful.
The carriage rumbled forward with astonishing power.
From Qinghe County to Yunzhou Prefecture, there is at least three thousand miles. Fortunately, Li Mu's puppet fire horse can run very fast and can travel a thousand miles in a day. Even if it is really practiced, it will only be easy to travel tens of thousands of miles in a day.
.
However, Tong Lie, who was driving the carriage, was only a master of martial arts after all, and could not be considered as a practitioner, so he could not exert the true power of the carriage and horses.
He only regarded the horse as his own horse to drive, but he also performed his duties diligently. He cared for the horse very much along the way and did not dare to drive it too fast for fear of tiring the horse or making the master angry due to the bumps in the carriage. p>
At this time, the sun was setting in the Western Mountains during the Great Yin Dynasty, chaos was everywhere, and it was very uneven. Scholars rushing to take the exams usually went hand in hand to take the exams, and they tried to walk on the official road, and even stayed in the imperial inn.
These days, it is not easy to go out. After leaving home, there are dangers everywhere.
Along the way, there were people who drove cars, opened shops, punted boats, and moved goods, and there were many gangsters among them.
Every year, travelers who go out stay in black shops and are killed, take a black boat and are slaughtered, their belongings are moved without trace by porters, and even people are sold by traffickers.
The so-called gangsters in car and boat shops deserve to be killed even if they are not guilty. This is what they say.
In modern society, various incidents often occur when traveling far away, not to mention in ancient dynasties such as the Yin Dynasty, where chaos often occurred.
In this case, when scholars rushed to take the exam, the richer families directly brought their domestic slaves, provided their own transportation, money and food, and drove to rush for the exam. They tried their best to stay in towns for food and accommodation.
As for the poorer scholars, if they want to rush for the exam, they have to go together, carry their luggage, travel at dawn and stay overnight, get up early and go to bed early, and dare not miss the dormitory.
Fortunately, the imperial court had inns along the official road that could also serve as inns, making it the first choice place for scholars to stay halfway along the way.
There are not many blind people in the world who dare to attack the inn and rob and kill the passengers in the inn.
Apart from inns, the safest places are naturally the inns in towns.
Compared to these scholars, Li Mu did not have such worries.
On the contrary, he really wanted to see such gangsters or strongmen who robbed people.
Tong Lie drove on the road for a long time and looked at the middle of the sun. There was a forest in front of him. There was a hotel in the forest near the road.
The wine flag stands sideways with a big word "wine" written on it.
"Sir, should we stop for dinner?"
Tong Lie likes to drink and drinks several kilograms of wine every day before he can sleep peacefully.
It's noon now. After driving for a long time, although I'm not exhausted, I feel a little hungry and thirsty.
Now that I saw the restaurant, I couldn't help but talk: "Butler Hu, do we want to take a rest here?"
Hu Yunniang's voice sounded in the car: "Tong Lie, the master said that he is resting in the car and will not eat or drink outside. If you want to eat or drink, stop the car and go there."
Tong Lie said: "I haven't eaten yet, how can I dare to eat alone?"
Hu Yunniang said with a smile: "You don't know how to practice magic. Our master's car has a world inside it, and there is plenty of room to eat, drink and sleep. Even if you live in the car for three to five years, you won't starve to death."
She said to Tong Lie: "If you want to drink, stop the car and go there. The master and I are just refining something in the car."
Tong Lie hesitated for a moment: "Isn't this...not good?"
Hu Yunniang laughed and scolded: "Are you still pretending in front of me? Get out of here!"
Tong Lie was overjoyed: "Yes! Thank you so much, Butler Hu!"
Immediately, he parked his car in front of the hotel, tied the fire horse to the hitching post in front of the hotel, carried two giant axes on his back, and walked into the hotel.
He was nine feet tall, with muscles all over his body, and he stood like a hill.
Coupled with the two giant wheeled axes behind it that weighed more than a thousand kilograms, it was naturally extremely oppressive.
At this time, the hotel was full of people and it was noisy.
But when Tong Lie lowered his head and entered, the entire hotel lobby fell silent.
Everyone looked at the giant who walked in with surprised eyes, and couldn't help but feel a bit of fear in their hearts.
Although Tong Lie did not look at them or show any ferocious expression, just looking at his body shape and the two exaggerated battle axes behind his back was enough to make everyone quiet.
Only a man and a woman in the corner of the lobby remained unmoved.
This man and woman look to be in their twenties. The man is wearing a white robe, dressed as a scholar, and the woman is wearing a green skirt. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.
"A stupid big man!"
The woman in green robes in the corner looked up at Tong Lie and said with a smile: "Brother, didn't you say that your good friend from Buddhism lacks disciples?"
She pursed her lips at Tong Lie: "Hey, look at this guy and his qualifications, isn't this a ready-made Buddhist disciple? I just caught him and gave it to my friend as a gift."
