Chapter 24
When Li Qianyu left Guizhou, Mu Qing did not send it, and Mu Qing hoped that it would be a gentleman's friend than the ten-mile long pavilion.
This friendship is actually very far away.
If Mu Qing had only failed repeatedly in his life, he would not have had the opportunity to set foot in the high court, nor would he have the opportunity for Li Qianyu to see and remember.
He studied behind closed doors, and he didn't even see Deng Yuanshan.
Whatever your ideals, the most important thing now is to take the children's test in a few days, and the first step is the most important.
But there was a troublesome thing.
To apply for the children's exam, you need a household registration, but Mu Qing has not settled down so far. In other words, he is a black household, and there is no way to sign up.
The registration for the children's examination is in a side room of the government office, which is quite bright. It's still early, and there is only Mu Qing and Annu in the whole house, and then there is the errand in charge of registering.
"If you don't have a household registration, can you have a gentleman to recommend me?" The officer on duty saw that Mu Qing was a scholar, and his expression was not bad, although it was a little difficult to do without a household registration, but if someone was able to protect him, it was okay.
Mu Qing didn't know that there was such a method, but now that he knew it, it was useless, so he only smiled bitterly: "No." ”
The officer's brows furrowed a little: "The gentleman of the county school is also okay." ”
Mu Qing shook his head again: "No." ”
The officer's face changed. Scholars are rare, but it is not uncommon for people who have no identity and no background to look like they don't even have a gentleman. The officer, who was accustomed to seeing the wind and steering the rudder, immediately stood up, his face was not polite, and his mustache curled up when he spoke: "This little boy, you have nothing, and the villain can't register for you." ”
"My master is knowledgeable!" Annu was a little anxious, and his voice was also hurriedly shouted.
The errand officer snorted, and looked at the two and a half teenagers in front of him out of the corner of his eye: "There are more learned people, not this one." ”
"You!"
"Alright Annu, let's go." Mu Qing pulled Annu's arm and pulled him out.
Standing at the door of the mansion, Mu Qing was sweating, and Annu was a little indignant on his face, and the official was too domineering and unpolite, but Mu Qing just smiled bitterly.
"Master, what should I do?" Annu looked at Mu Qing's expression, and always felt that his master was omnipotent, and at this moment, he was also worried in his heart.
Mu Qing shook his head, how did he know what to do...... I can't, so I have to go home first and figure out a way.
But he didn't know that not long after he left, someone went back to the prefect.
Li Qianyu deliberately concealed his own identity, and Mu Qing knew it but pretended to be ignorant, but it was not that no one knew about their deep relationship, at least, the prefect of Guizhou knew it clearly.
The prefect of Guizhou, surnamed Dong, was originally a son of a poor family, and in the Great Zhou Dynasty controlled by a high-ranking family, it was already a miracle to be able to sit in the high position of the prefect.
The background is not obvious, so if you want to sit firmly in the official position, you must show political achievements, and in Guizhou, the biggest political achievement is to have more talents, and a few more Xie Yuanlang champions are definitely a plus for political achievements, and his official position will also be solid. But because he was born in a poor family, Governor Dong knew very little about the twists and turns that were clear in Gaomen's heart, so he didn't know about those court battles in the remote south of the Yangtze River, and no one sued him.
Therefore, the six princes, who were avoided by everyone in other places, were able to get the courtesy of the subordinate officials led by the prefect to come to meet in Guizhou.
From Li Qianyu to leaving, in fact, Governor Dong didn't see him, but it didn't prevent him from protecting His Royal Highness King Zhuang.
And the people who protect it will naturally look back on what Li Qianyu has done every day, and these things are naturally Li Qianyu doesn't mind being known. This is how Mu Qing's name reached the ears of Dong Zhifu.
In the main hall of the mansion, the old god of the Dong Governor's Mansion closed his eyes, and waved his hand to let him retreat after the official returned. What has been waiting on the side is the money master of the government office, he naturally knows Mu Qing, his wife is the Qian family who rented the house to Mu Qing, and the Qian family did not mention Mu Qing's affairs.
I heard that he is a knowledgeable little minister, and his relationship with his own family is also harmonious, those things that Dong Zhifu knows, Qian Zhushu, who has been following Dong Zhifu, naturally also knows, and Qian Zhushu just blinks his eyes and has an idea.
"From Yizhou, surnamed Mu?" Dong Zhifu touched his beard, and vaguely remembered that there was a big businessman in Yizhou, also surnamed Mu, "How does he usually dress?" ”
Master Qian hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Hui, most of them are cotton coarse clothes. ”
After hearing this, Governor Dong nodded, thinking that he should not have anything to do with the Mu family, even if there is, he is afraid that it is far away, but he is not afraid. After all, if you are a businessman, it is a little troublesome when you settle down.
Master Qian looked at the expression of Dong Zhifu and said, "My lord, the house rented by Xiao Gongzi Mu is cheap, and he also had some contacts in the past, and he looks like a Duanfang person." ”
"That's a coincidence." Governor Dong's expression was faint, and he had some plans in his heart.
In fact, this kind of thing of registration and settlement is easy to say, but difficult to say. Ordinary people will be registered from the beginning of their birth for future management such as taxation and military service, but there will be some cases of loss or omission, but in general, this time can not be uniformly carried out until a large-scale supplement.
Thinking about it, Mu Qing can't wait for the unified supplement, and there are three days left before the children's exam, if he is just an ordinary scholar, but this is a good friendship with His Royal Highness King Zhuang...... Governor Dong didn't know what twists and turns there were, but it was not difficult to think about it just for him.
Sometimes what can make people break their legs is just a matter of being an official raising his hand.
Governor Dong thought about it, but it was just a convenience and it didn't take much trouble, so he beckoned. Master Qian took a step forward, and listened to Governor Dong's words: "Notify me to go down, go to make it convenient for him, and settle down in Guizhou." ”
The Zhou Dynasty implemented the examination of origin, and the Tongsheng test could only be taken in the state and county where the household registration was located.
"Who does the guarantor write?" Qian Zhushu took the notebook and raised his head when he wrote about the guarantor and asked.
Governor Dong glanced at the main book of Qian and said lightly: "Since you are familiar with him, you have compiled your name." ”
When Master Qian heard this, he not only scolded him in his heart as an "old fox". This guarantor can be regarded as tied to Mu Qing in the same boat, if Mu Qing has something to do in the future, he will also follow him, but if there is any good thing, he will naturally be robbed by Dong Governor's Mansion and nothing will happen to him. But who made the family official, and the money master only dared to slander in his heart, and his name was still written with a smile on his face.
=============================================================================
Mu Qing never thought that the household registration matter would be so strict.
The household registration system of the Zhou Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty in history, especially for the people of the imperial examination.
When you think about it, there is some truth to it. Jiangnan has always been a place where talented people gather, and it is naturally a lot more difficult to stand out from a bunch of talented people here, and in other places, especially in the capital, there are many eunuchs and magnates, and there will be many fewer people who take the road of imperial examinations.
And this should be done to eliminate this possibility from the root, and things like the college entrance examination immigration in later generations would never happen in the Zhou Dynasty.
Mu Qing somewhat understood why the Tang clan let himself out so lightly, thinking that if he had thought about this layer and hadn't settled down, it would have been impossible for him to climb up!
Sitting in the courtyard with his chin propped up, he didn't even have the heart to read, and Anu also sat on the other side and looked at him, with a heavy worry in his eyes.
At this time, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Annu hurriedly ran and opened the door, but it was a new face that he had never seen.
"Little Master Mu is here?"
When Mu Qing heard that he was looking for him, he packed up his thoughts and got up to greet him. After seeing each other, it was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, I remembered that I had seen it in the wine shop in my previous life, and it was an official of the Qian family.
I heard that this man was in charge of the government office...... Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Master Qian, come in and sit." ”
Master Qian walked in with a smile and sat on the stone bench. Mu Qing asked Annu to pour tea, but was stopped by Master Qian: "Hehe, don't be busy, I'm just here to deliver a message, and I'll leave when I'm done." ”
"Please tell me about the money master."
"Prefect Dong sent me to deliver something to Mu Xiaogongzi."
Mu Qing was stunned, it was strange that the prefect came to send something. Qian took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, Mu Qing took it and unfolded it, but it was a household registration certificate stamped with a big red official seal!
I also wanted to ask for the money to help settle down, but I didn't know that people would send this directly to the door, Mu Qing was a little dazed, but he didn't speak.
Master Qian naturally didn't say anything about the twists and turns in the mansion, but just smiled: "This is the prefect's intention, he can see that Mu Xiaogongzi is a talent, and this is convenient." ”
Mu Qing knew that this person was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he had never met the prefect of Dong, so he knew whether he was a talent or a fool. But after all, it was a scene, so Mu Qing also arched his hand and said: "Master Qian is polite, and I also asked Master Qian to thank Master Dong on my behalf." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Master Qian smiled and mentioned as if he didn't care, "Oh yes, the old man volunteered to be Mu Xiaogongzi's guarantor." ”
Mu Qing naturally made a "grateful" statement, and he also presented the love of the money master book in his heart.
The master of the money pouted in his heart: Boy, the old man has been your guarantor, if you gain power in the future, if not, hum.
