It was already noon to send Li Yunchang away.

Zhang Mu sat in the room, sorting out his thoughts.

pondering what Li Yunchang told him in his heart, his mood was a little heavy.

Regarding the matter of opening up the sea frontier, Zhang Mu completely understood that this could not be done overnight.

Moreover, it is indeed difficult to do it with his current official position, and everything will not be able to start until he has enough influence in the court in the future.

Of course, before that, it is necessary to come up with a package of feasible measures, such as tax rates, customs yamen, trade ports, and so on.

Just as Li Yunchang said, before these feasible methods are come up, I am afraid that no one will believe it if they are told to anyone.

Besides, there is still a Zhu Yuanzhang with a small peasant mind sitting on it.

Of course, this is not a problem of Zhu Yuanzhang, but a problem of this era.

When Zhang Mu thought of this, he had a headache, Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, with clear hierarchies, and it was a national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.

Therefore, although the scholar class did not fiercely oppose the opening of the treaty ports, the people looked down on the merchants at all, and the merchants had the lowest status no matter how rich they were.

The scholar class was indifferent at all, and in their opinion, it was better to read two books of sages and play with a few women than to have this spare time.

As for the peasants, as long as they have land to grow and have food to eat, and whether the ports are open or not, people are also concerned.

As for the merchants, although there is an urgent need for the opening of treaty ports, they do not have the right to speak.

The emperor also counted on the scholar class to help him govern the country, so naturally he would not improve the status of the businessman and suppress the scholar class.

Coupled with Lao Zhu's kind of soil buns, pondering left and right, anyway, I am here in the heavens, and the outside is Yidi, Lao Tzu himself closes his door and lives at home, what do you like.

As a result, no one mentions this kind of thing anymore, and once this kind of thing is brought up to the court without preparation, it will anger the scholar class, because they will say, you don't let the common people study and farm, but go to the sea to do business, isn't this not a bad business? Instead, it complicates things incredibly.

At this time, the gongs and drums outside the door are noisy, and the sound of firecrackers is endless.

Han Fangshan hurriedly came in and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, the case has been solved." You've been the head of the court exam. Wu Xuezheng personally came to congratulate him. ”

Zhang Mu hurriedly changed his clothes, and then went to the door of the post station, and saw that the lively people were three layers inside and three layers outside, Zhang Mu hurriedly saluted Wu Xuezheng when he went out of the gate.

Wu Xuezheng helped him and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, even the three yuan of the middle and middle schools." After a few days, you can go back to Jinhua Mansion to enroll. ”

"Your Excellency, please come inside." Zhang Mu hurriedly greeted.

At this moment, when Zhang Mu turned around, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he quietly complimented Wu Xuezheng, and entered the post station with Wu Xuezheng.

At this moment, Han Fangshan hurriedly came out with a full bamboo basket of copper coins, and shouted at the moment: "Thank you, my father, and fellow villagers, this is the reward of my young master." ”

With that, he grabbed a handful and threw it out.

After passing the hospital examination, he became a Xiucai, officially entered the scholar class, became a student, and was eligible to enter the state capital and county school, and was also eligible to participate in the township examination.

Moreover, Zhang Mu is the head of the hospital examination case, and he has the qualification to be a student, which is a great honor.

Naturally, we should celebrate it, this is a great event.

The onlookers had been waiting for this one for a long time, and they immediately flocked to it, and the scene was extremely lively.

Zhang Mu and Wu Xuezheng greeted each other and went up to the attic, and after entering the room, Zhang Mu cautiously climbed on the edge of the window and looked outside.

In the crowd of Wuyang Wuyang, Zhang Mu looked for the figure of the vegetable farmer, and when he turned around just now, he clearly saw him.

It's a pity that there is no trace of that person.

However, at the gate of the post station, there was a carriage passing by, and the window of the carriage was open, Zhang Mu just glanced at it by chance, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Although it was only a glimpse, there was a stunning woman sitting in the carriage, with white clothes fluttering and skin better than snow.

At first glance, it looks like a snow lotus blooming, pure and flawless, and there is a fairy aura on its body, as if it has fallen from the nine heavens to the mortal world.

Zhang Mu could be regarded as having seen the world in his previous life, but no woman was so impressive.

Her kind of beauty is not a bewitching beauty, it is a smart beauty that is not polluted by mortal dust, extremely holy, and the beauty makes people have no trace of evil thoughts, and even has an urge to worship.

Those dark eyes were like a pool of quiet lake, soft and quiet, but they seemed to be able to speak, and Zhang Mu was stunned at once.

And Han Yuyan in the car was also looking at Zhang Mu, and the two of them were just separated by a street, one on top and one on the bottom, skimming by.

Zhang Mu saw a sneer on the corner of Han Yuyan's mouth, so he closed the car window, and Zhang Mu subconsciously shouted: "Han Fangshan, come quickly!" ”

Han Fangshan hurriedly pushed the door in, clenched his fists and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

"Just that carriage, send someone to keep an eye on me. Remember, disdain to keep an eye on me! Zhang Mu said.

The monk of Han Fangshan couldn't figure it out, but after learning the lesson of the vegetable farmer, he suddenly said: "Don't worry, my lord, there will be no mistakes this time." ”

"Also, we'll leave in a moment, it's not safe here. Just now, the vegetable farmer appeared again. Zhang Mu said.

Han Fangshan was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will go and prepare a safe place." ”

After sending Han Fangshan away, Zhang Mu turned around and came back, and Wu Xuezheng, who was sitting on the brocade bench, asked with a confused expression, "What's going on?" ”

"The adults were frightened, a little thing. I would like to thank you for coming to congratulate me personally. Zhang Mu hurriedly greeted.

"This official has already sent your test paper to Ying Tianfu. It is estimated that His Majesty will definitely be happy when he sees it. Wu Xuezheng said.

"Then the lower official will hold a banquet in the Yanyu Building tonight, and please be sure to enjoy it." Zhang Muzuo said.

"The banquet is exempt, the official knows that you are entangled in official business, so there is no need for these false gifts. The good results have been delivered, and the official has taken his leave. Remember, you must go to the government this month to get your birth qualification. The official knows that you care about this bit of food, but it is also a gift from the imperial court to say so. Wu Xuezheng said with a smile.

"I'll send you." Zhang Mu hurriedly bowed his waist and said.

As soon as Wu Xuezheng was sent away, seeing that Wu Xuezheng's sedan chair had not gone far, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and then twenty soldiers with tigers and bears turned over and dismounted, martial law was around, and then a carriage arrived, Zhang Mu saw this carriage, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Immediately afterwards, the lord of Bei'an County in the carriage jumped down, pointed at Zhang Mu and shouted: "Haha, you really hit the head of the case, can you go out with me this time?" ”
