I have become immortal, Taoist friends still need to be diligent

As soon as they came out of the yard, Li Mu's whole family was dumbfounded. The whole village, old and young, rushed to his house in twos and threes.

"Lord Officer, this boy is Li Tiedan."

The village chief ignored the confused Li family members and directly pointed at Li Mu and said to the two sword-carrying officers next to him.

"Are you Li Tiedan?"

"Yes sir."

Li Mu didn't understand the situation, but it didn't look like they were here to arrest him. After all, he had just reflected on his life in the past six years and had not committed any serious crimes.

Just ask and answer whatever you want.

"Qingping County, Huangyuan Town, Xiaohe Village villager Li Tiedan accepted the order."

A bearded officer didn't say much after receiving a positive answer. He directly took out the bright yellow scroll held in his left hand and began to speak loudly, and glanced at the village chief.

"Everyone salute quickly."

The village chief understood immediately and quickly urged many villagers to salute, especially Li Mu's family.

Li Mu didn't know what was going on, so he could only bow his hands like everyone else, bending at ninety degrees to salute.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The Wei Dynasty was founded two hundred and forty six years ago..."

After Li Mu finished the salute, the two guards began to write the main text, which lasted several hundred words. After reading the words of the village chief, the whole village then asked the whole village to salute.

Then the village chief sent away the two servants. When the village chief came to Li Mu's house again, Li Mu's family was already standing there, all of them villagers from the village.

"Brother, is this true? If you had slapped me, I would still feel like I was dreaming."

Li Youliang, who was still confused at this time, saw the village chief arriving and quickly squeezed out of the crowd and asked.

"Hahaha, there is smoke coming out of your Li family's ancestral grave. You have to pay homage to it another day."

……

It was not until night that the villagers from Li Mu's family left at the invitation of the village chief, and Li Mu lay peacefully on the kang. It was just the kang of his grandparents, and Li Mu slept in the middle.

Li Dazhuang and his wife were also lying on the kang in the kitchen next door. Li Youliang said righteously: "Tiedan is the first scholar I know in our Li family. Everyone may be thinking about him, so we have to guard him. Don’t let anyone else steal it.”

Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry about this, and it was difficult to refute Li Youliang's kindness, so he had no choice but to do this.

Yes, Li Mu is a scholar, and was personally conferred by the emperor.

It is said that County Magistrate Zhao sent someone to report to the capital after the county's summer grain weighing was completed this year. The emperor was very happy when he found out.

The civil and military officials in the court also praised the emperor for obeying the will of heaven and winning public opinion. His achievements were as much as those of Emperor Wei Wu, the founder of the dynasty.

The emperor was happy, and so were all the officials. As soon as the officials were happy, the emperor directly promoted Magistrate Zhao to the rank of Sheriff of Chengyang County to the sixth rank with a stroke of his pen, which was like a rocket speed.

Rewarding Mr. Yang with two favor quotas directly solved Mr. Yang's fear of the Yang family's decline in a hundred years. Rewarding the village chief's son with the title of martial arts scholar also solves the problem of the village chief having his tax-free land taken back a hundred years later, and leaving no descendants with any hope of gaining the title again.

Although his son was named Wang Wenhua, he liked martial arts but not literature since he was a child. Although he is now the only third-rate master in the village, he barely got a child after taking the martial arts examination a few years ago.

I had no hope of becoming a scholar in my life, but I didn't expect that Li Tiedan would come out of their Xiaohe Village, and he, the village chief, would also benefit greatly.

The entire county of Qingping County is exempted from agricultural taxes for three years, the entire town of Huangyuan Town is exempted from agricultural taxes for five years, and Xiaohe Village is exempted from agricultural taxes for ten years. People in other places don’t know, but people in Xiaohe Village are quick to regard Li Mu’s ancestors as eighteen generations old. I dug them all out and praised them all.

None of this is important. What is important is to directly grant Li Mu one hundred acres of tax-free land and one thousand taels of silver. When the tax-free land arrived, the government would find someone to measure it, and the one thousand taels of silver were directly exchanged for ten 100-tael silver notes and given to Li Youliang.

But the most important thing is to give Li Mu a "great agricultural scholar in the Wei Dynasty", with a higher status than the village chief, a scholar who studied hard for ten years in a humble life.

There is a gold-plated plate with the words "Great Wei Agricultural Scholar" written on the front. On the back is written "Qingping County Li Tiedan".

He was also given the courtesy of being able to go to court even if he had no official status. You must know that County Magistrate Zhao is not treated like this even if he becomes a county governor now.

"Hey, it's hard to be famous now. It's true that gold shines wherever it is. It's just that the name was changed too slowly. Now the emperor knows about it. It's embarrassing."

Sighing secretly in his heart, Li Mu blushed and fell into a deep sleep.

……

"Tiedan, what do you think we should do with these one thousand taels of silver? I'm really worried about leaving it at home."

Just early in the morning, Tiedan was woken up by Li Youliang.

Seeing that Li Youliang, Li Dazhuang, Zhang Caiyun, and Wang Lanhua all had panda eyes, Li Mu wanted to laugh, but was afraid of being beaten.

Li Mu knew what a thousand taels meant to a family. When converted into copper coins, one tael of silver was worth ten small strings of copper coins, and a small string of one hundred copper coins meant that one tael of silver could be exchanged for a thousand copper coins, and one copper coin could buy a catty. The purchasing power of wheat is roughly equivalent to a dollar in the previous life.

One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one million in the previous life. For a family who was poor last year and was going to beg for food, one million is more than the stars in the sky and cannot be spent in eight lifetimes.

It would be really unsettling to leave the family alone. It would be terrible if that martial arts hero came to "rob the rich and give to the poor". If the Li family was beheaded as a wealthy and ruthless wealthy family, they would die unjustly.

Li Mu also shuddered when he thought of this.

"Grandpa, why don't they all be stored in the county's bank account?"

Li Mu suddenly remembered that Li Dazhuang once said that there seemed to be a bank account in the county where he could deposit and withdraw money.

"No."

Li Youliang suddenly refused, and Li Mu didn't know why.

"First build us a big house that is worthy of a scholar like you. Then we will repair the graves of your great-grandfather and great-grandmother so that they can see our talented scholar. Then we can hire you to teach. Sir, learn how to write a good article and speak it clearly."

"Save the rest and see what you think."

It turns out that this is what Li Youliang thought. Li Mu thought that Li Youliang was afraid that the bank account would only allow deposits but not withdrawals.

"That's okay, save it and I'll give Tiedan a wife when the time comes."

Zhang Caiyun's words shocked Li Mu.

"Oh my God, I'm only six years old, six years old."

Li Mu screamed in his heart.

"Okay, I'll go to the town to find a craftsman."

Li Dazhuang volunteered to find craftsmen to build a house.

"Well, this time it's all covered with blue bricks. We can't let others look down upon us."

Li Youliang warned.

Li Mu's head hurt when he saw it. The village chief's house was only half a meter off the ground, and the house on the corner was made of blue bricks. It was better for his grandfather to just make it all blue bricks for the sake of appearance.

In one word, "arrogant".

But Li Mu wouldn't refuse, after all, he was a bastard who didn't want to spend money.

The days passed like this.

"Crackling~"

There was a burst of firecrackers, and it was the New Year's Eve again. Li Mu's family had already demolished the old house. Li Youliang waved his hand and gave all the adobe bricks of the old house to the villagers. In less than half a day, it was completely demolished.

Now Li Mu's family has a large courtyard and a main entrance. There are three houses in the two rows on the left and right, and four houses in the middle row.

There is a small door next to the main house that leads to the backyard. There are three houses in two rows on the left and right. In the middle is a granary and a row of brick cattle and horse sheds.

There is also a small gate that leads directly to the 105 acres of farmland behind.

Originally, the land measured by the government was reclaimed land in other places, but at the call of the village chief, the villagers expressed their willingness to exchange fields and exchanged all the fields of the Li family together.

After all, even if it is raw land, it will mature after one or two years of cultivation. However, the Li family has earned ten years of tax exemption for the whole village. Everyone is very happy. Of course, it was the village chief who took the lead in replacing 30 acres of land and set a good example. Take the lead.
