In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

Sun Shouren read through the letter in his hand word by word. After a long while, he finally finished reading it. He nodded gently, put away the letter, and opened the wooden box in front of him.

Inside the box are some silver and gold tickets, all of which are small-denomination court official tickets that can be used as soon as they are brought.

But these can only be regarded as foils. The most important thing is the title deed of the five hundred acres of fertile land.

Although it is not paddy field, it is quite rare to have access to farmland. These 500 acres of fertile land alone are worth three thousand taels of silver.

Sun Shouren was quite satisfied with this gift. As a warrior, he couldn't appreciate antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so he was more satisfied with giving him money and farmland.

"You have contributed a lot this time. According to the rules, the money belongs to you. It is not easy to visit Xingyuan City. If you like anything, buy some."

Sun Shouren counted out one hundred taels of silver notes from the mahogany box and handed them to Chen Mo with a smile.

"Thank you, foster father." Chen Mo bowed his hands in salute, but did not refuse.

As a middleman, he should collect the money no matter what.

After accepting the banknote, he turned around and exited.

The matchmaking is over, and it is not your responsibility to take care of the next thing.

Now that I have money, I can really go shopping in this city.

Xingyuan City is very large and extremely prosperous. Not only Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but there are indeed many strange people and strange things.

Apart from anything else, I would just say that the digestion and appetite soup that the miracle doctor prepared for me was indeed quite effective.

After using it, Chen Mo can now eat three more steamed buns per meal, and there are not many simple medicinal materials in this soup, most of the ingredients are both medicinal materials and food.

For example, hawthorn, such as licorice, medicine and food have the same origin, nothing better than this.

Chen Mo was going to prepare a few more doses. It was best to write down the prescription so that he could continue to drink it later.

In addition, if there is something that suits your eyes, you can also buy some.

After a brief stroll around the city, in addition to a few decoctions, he also bought a piece of fine silk.

This piece of silk and satin alone costs eight taels of silver. This is the price in Xingyuan City. It would be even more expensive if shipped elsewhere.

This silk satin is called Yunshui Silk. Xingyuan Mansion does not produce it at all and can only be shipped from outside.

Xingyuan City has waterways, so the cost of transporting goods is relatively low.

Therefore, the price of Shuiyun silk is cheaper in Xingyuan City. If it is sent to other counties in the prefecture, it will cost less than ten taels of silver.

The reason why Chen Mo bought this cloth was to ask Zhao Yu to help him make some clothes.

A piece of cloth can make three clothes, two of which can be worn by myself, and the other can be given to her.

The next day, Wu Ming personally visited Sun Shouren and had a secret talk.

Two days later, Chen Mo and his party left and returned to the military camp.

Xia Wuqi took many officials in the government office to see him off, and they only stopped after ten miles out of the city.

When they returned to the city, they still lived in a large carriage shop. After walking for several days, they were exhausted and finally returned to the military camp.

Sun Shouren first recruited his own soldiers and asked them to take good care of the horses. He also ordered each person who went this time to be rewarded with three taels of silver and to rest for three days.

Hearing the cheers of his soldiers, Sun Shouren waved his hand and summoned Chen Mo to follow him to discuss matters.

"Now that you have passed the exams and achieved meritorious status, you will be issued official documents after a period of time when you change your military status."

Sun Shouren walked into the study and sat down, looking at Chen Mo and others.

Chen Mo and others are all military members now. Once they pass the exam, they can change their military status to scholar status. From now on, they can be called scholars.

As for the document, it is the certificate used by scholars to prove their identity. Their appearance, body, place of origin, when they passed the exam, and the specific rank they passed will be recorded in detail on it.

With this certificate, Chen Mo and the others were able to receive lin (lin) rice from the local county government without holding official positions.

Of course, since he was born in the military, the rice would be paid by the local army.

"As long as you get that document, you will be regarded as scholars and can be awarded official positions." Sun Shouren said with a smile.

If someone like Wu Xiucai wanted to get an official position based on his reputation as a scholar, it would be almost impossible.

Even if they were lucky enough that the local Xiang army was short of men, most of them would be able to get a high-ranking official position, or a general position under the county captain.

For most martial arts scholars, this is quite good.

But Chen Mo and the others were either his adopted sons or his nephews. With his help, it would not be difficult to become a high-level official.

If you can't do it at the ninth level, it's not bad to be at the ninth level. You've already surpassed countless people from the beginning.

With this starting point, even if they do nothing in the future, they can become an eighth-rank official after more than ten years of hard work.

Even a seventh-rank official is not impossible, but this is the limit. A scholar can only achieve a seventh-rank official at most.

There are people in the court who like to be officials. This is what they say.

"Do you guys have any specific plans for the next step?" Sun Shouren asked as he slowly scanned the group of people.

Chen Mo was not in a hurry to speak. He looked at Xu Dabao and Sun Li first, and when he saw that they were both silent, he spoke.

"Everything depends on my adoptive father's arrangements."

With his words, the remaining two people beat the snake and followed the stick.

"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the third uncle (third uncle)."

"Okay, then you all go to rest for three days. I will make arrangements after the documents come out." Sun Shouren nodded slowly.

There are still many vacancies in the eighth- and ninth-grade official positions under him, and someone needs to fill them.

The purpose of releasing Chen Mo and others as officials was to train them first so that they could fight and command a whole town.

Sun Shouren waved his hand, and Chen Mo bowed and retreated one by one.

First, he returned to his barracks with the things he bought. The house was not dirty, but there was a thin layer of dust accumulated from not living there for a long time.

He briefly glanced around and looked at the things he had left around to make sure that no one had unlocked the room while he was away.

Chen Mo then took a broom and rag to fetch clean water and started cleaning.

After cleaning the entire room, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed to have a good rest.

Logically speaking, Xiumu himself should leave the military camp.

It's just that when they came back today, it was already in the afternoon. They had tidied up the house again, and it was already approaching evening.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the curfew comes after leaving the military camp.

Chen Mo didn't want to walk at night. Firstly, it wouldn't be a good experience, and secondly, he might encounter something.

He went to the kitchen to have dinner first, and many of the soldiers smiled and congratulated him when they saw him coming.

General Sun was so happy that Chen Mo and others were admitted as scholars that he had specially rewarded them previously.

All soldiers in the camp, whether they are soldiers or not, are rewarded with one tael of silver each, and everyone takes an extra day of rest in rotation.

And even the food tonight was much better. Although it was just prepared in a hurry and not as good as the meal as a reward after taking the exam, it was still much better than usual.

Everyone was naturally very happy to receive the reward, and when they saw Chen Mo, they all smiled and congratulated him.

Chen Mo had already anticipated this situation and took out many red envelopes from his arms and distributed them to everyone.

Each red envelope contains five large coins, which is not too much. It can only be said to be a joy.

He heard Sun Li talk about this, so he made preparations in advance.

After they gain fame, someone will definitely come to ask for red envelopes. There were no red envelopes in Xingyuan City before because they had no acquaintances in the city.

Now back in the military camp, there are countless acquaintances asking for red envelopes.

After receiving congratulations from everyone and eating a fairly sumptuous dinner, Chen Mo washed up early and lay down on the bed to rest well to relieve the fatigue of traveling and traveling during this period.

The next day, he rushed to Xiaopao Town early.
