Chapter Eighty-Six: In Front of the Yamen
"Peach feast?"
After the white crane boy disappeared, Li Mu held the Dharma Slip in his hand, came to his eyes to take a look, and saw that the material of the Dharma Slip was peculiar, not gold and non-wood, not skin and not stone, there was a peculiar rune on it, and the whole Dharma Slip was golden, exuding a faint golden light.
"Who is this Yuanhua Emperor?"
Li Mu turned around and looked at the Luan driving pulled by the six golden dragons, only to see the auspicious light plugging the sky, Rui Qi rushing to the sky, the six dragons pulled all the way up, and in a moment they broke through the void and disappeared.
Pan Tao Hui Li Mu has heard of it, it is said that in the Jinchi Cave of Yuting Mountain in the West Pole today, there is a Golden Pond Virgin, also called Jinchi Niangniang, nine thousand immortal peaches were planted on that Qingyun Platform, and every ten years, the immortals of the world will be invited to the Pan Tao Festival.
The immortals who are eligible to be invited are either sacred, immortal Buddhas, or ancient gods sitting on one side, and the world-honored Taoist ancestors will go to support the party, promote Taoism, and exchange experiences.
The people of the Great Yin Dynasty will also hold a water and land conference on March 3, and the two families of Buddhism and Taoism will pray for the blessing of the people and pray for the country under the advocacy of the government.
This day can be said to be a day of celebration between heaven and man.
"I'm not an immortal, how can I be invited?"
Li Mu took the invitation and wondered: "It is said that those who are eligible to get the invitation are either the immortal Buddha, or the sage elf, how come I, a little monk in the Qi refining period, also received the invitation?" ”
In the cultivation world, the four major sects of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Demons are respected as the source of cultivation.
As long as you are a monk, as long as you are a monk of the human race, it is impossible to get rid of the influence of the cultivation concepts of these four major sects.
And only the monks who have obtained the true transmission and achieved the Dao Fruit in these four major sects can leave their names in the golden book and be authentic for heaven and earth.
If you don't have a monk who has obtained the true inheritance of the four major sects, even if you survive the tribulation and become an immortal, then you are only a Taiyi immortal, and you are not as good as the true stream.
According to Li Mu's understanding, that is, if you don't have the inheritance of the four major sects, even if you become an immortal, you will also graduate from Pheasant University, and the formal department will not recognize your academic qualifications.
Only students who have graduated from a regular university (famous and decent) from the unified entrance examination and graduated from a prestigious school (the four major sects) will be recognized by the Heavenly Court Department and your academic certificate.
Only students with this kind of certificate are eligible to blend into the system and become a member of the system, and those students who have graduated from non-famous universities, even if they have strong ability and great ability, but their first degree has already determined their fate, unless there is someone in the family, they will not be able to become a member of the system at all, and they will not be able to become civil servants.
Therefore, a monk who does not have an orthodox inheritance cannot enter the big forces, cannot become a civil servant, and after becoming an immortal, he is only a Taiyi scattered number, and he does not enter the true stream.
This kind of scattered immortal is basically not eligible to participate in the peach event.
In modern society, scattered immortals in the heavenly realm are equivalent to ordinary ordinary people, and they are not qualified to participate in this and that meeting at all, and they have no ability to participate.
But now, Li Mu suddenly has the qualifications to participate in the conference!
His invitation is equivalent to a certificate of being admitted to the establishment, a certificate of civil service position, and he is already qualified to participate in some high-level meetings......
"The Yuanhua Emperor who posted this post is really capricious!"
Li Mu put away the Fati, summoned a paper bird puppet again, controlled the bird, and flew to Qinghe County: "I have achieved a turn now, and I am still too far away from the realm of immortals, and I don't know if I can really have the ability to participate in the peach festival after nine years!" ”
His family has passed down the Nine Turns Yuan Gong, has incredible magical powers, and when he cultivates to the third turn, he can call the wind and rain, scatter beans into soldiers, and have the means not to lose to the immortals, but now, he only cultivates the first turn to the consummation realm, and he is still far from the third turn.
He himself was not sure that he would be able to cultivate to the realm of the three turns of Jindan within nine years.
I didn't encounter anything special along the way, and occasionally saw a light flashing in the distance, and Li Mu didn't bother to investigate.
The last time he piloted the flying birds, he hadn't found out that there were so many monks in the sky, and today I don't know what's going on, there are so many monks in the sky, and there are even super masters at the big guy level.
Half an hour later, Qinghe County was already in sight.
Li Mu took the paper bird puppet, stepped forward in the air, and performed the space spell he had just realized, and arrived at Qinghe County in an instant.
He landed in the courtyard behind his jewelry store, walked from the courtyard to the store, and saw Sun Honglie talking to customers, waved his hand to Sun Honglie, signaled him to continue, and walked out of the store.
After walking along the street for a while, I happened to pass by the gate of the county yamen, and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes standing at the yamen, this man was tall and fat, his belly was the size of a pregnant woman, and he could never see the surface of his feet when he lowered his head.
Several talents and scholars in Qinghe County, under the leadership of Zhang Shihong, stood in front of this fat man and saluted.
These talents once visited the Wenchang Palace of Jinxiu Mountain with Li Mu, and at that time, the scholars were angry, pointing out the mountains and rivers, and they were quite stylish, but now when facing this big fat man, they all looked like they were sincerely afraid.
"You!"
The big fat man pointed at Zhang Shihong and others, and scolded: "What do you want to do?" Still want to take a tax cut for Qinghe County? Sure enough, it is a poor mountain and a bad water out of the people! The court treats you well, and gives you a monthly salary, which is enough for you to eat and drink without worry.
It's good now, you don't have the heart to speak to the court, but you actually help a group of untouchables! ”
He looked indignant: "These untouchables have houses and land, strength, children, daughters and wives, as long as they work hard, how can they not be able to pay taxes?" ”
Zhang Shihong saluted and said: "Boss, Qinghe County has been affected by disasters year after year, droughts and floods are frequent, locusts are everywhere, and there is a plague in the county next door, and the people are empty. It's hard to even survive, how can you have money to pay taxes? ”
The middle-aged fat man said angrily: "Nonsense! If you are sick, you can just grab medicine and go to the doctor, how much can it cost? There are many locusts flying in the dry land, so just catch the locusts and eat them! Isn't it beautiful to be able to eat enough and eat meat, killing two birds with one stone! How can there be nothing to eat? ”
Zhang Shihong was stunned and said: "Boss, if they have the money to get medicine, how can they starve to death?" ”
The middle-aged fat man shouted: "In today's peaceful and prosperous world, when the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, how can there be a reason for people to starve to death?" The collection and payment of taxes is a major matter of the imperial court, so how can it be exempted at will? Qinghe County's taxes, not a single copper plate is missing! ”
Zhang Shihong stopped saluting and said angrily: "Hao Jingui! You and I also had a friendship in the provincial capital, why are you now an incorruptible envoy, and your eyes have been staring at it? Can't you see the suffering people of Qinghe County? Are you worthy of the sages you have read! ”
Hao Jingui sneered: "Sage book? The books written by the sages are afraid that the sages themselves will not believe them! Reading the books of sages can only deceive the illiterate people, you and I are both readers, do you still have to believe the truth in the book now? ”
Zhang Shihong: "You! Outrageous! ”
He blushed and said to a few talents around him: "This guy is really a shame for scholars!" Once he gained power, he revealed his villain face! In the past, in the provincial capital, he was polite and generous, and the big guys liked him a lot. But I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for a few years, and he had become the incorruptible envoy of our Yunhe Road, and suddenly he became this face! ”
Several Xiucai were indignant: "We are waiting for the people's life, but not only does he not listen, but he wants to increase the tax, which is really not a son of man!" ”
"One day, I will wait for the Jinshi to be admitted to the examination, and I will have an official and a half-position, and I will never learn from him!"
"My generation of scholars, self-cultivation and family governance of the country and the world is the great wish of life, if you can be an official, you will naturally benefit one party, don't be like this Hao Jingui, lose the face of our scholars!"
Zhang Shihong was originally an old acquaintance with this Hao Jingui, and he wanted to petition for the people, hoping to reduce the tax collection, and this Hao Jingui definitely agreed.
didn't expect that after a few years of not seeing him, this Hao Jingui turned out to be another person, completely different from him who had pity for the people in the past.
Not only did he not agree to reduce or exempt the taxes of the people of Qinghe County, but he even had to collect them in full, completely ignoring the lives of the people.
"You are also worthy of governing the place?"
Hao Jingui heard the words of Zhang Shihong and others, and turned to look at everyone: "A group of Xialiba people, after reading for a few years, they feel that they have the right to speak?" Are you worthy to govern the place? ”
He looked at everyone, his eyes full of contempt: "It's just that I broke a few questions, and I was lucky enough to be admitted to Xiucaiju, so I feel that I am qualified to give advice?" ”
Hao Jingui sneered: "A group of small towns are also worthy of pointing out national policies?" Dare to interfere with the imperial court's taxation? Naive! ”
