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

"Master, are you worried about this matter?"

"Yes."

"Master, you don't have to worry about this."

That woman was Magistrate Zhao's wife. When she saw that her husband was upset, she expressed relief.

"Madam, you don't know something. Although I am a disciple of today's emperor, I am already thirty-two years old. If I don't go any further, I'm afraid that I will have to live alone in this small Qingping County for the rest of my life."

Magistrate Zhao understood what his wife meant, but although he was not interested in money, he was very eager for an official career and was afraid that he would be a step behind compared to his fellow Jinshi.

"Sir, good soup needs to be simmered slowly. There was a lot of snow this winter, and there will probably be a lot of rain next year. It only takes a year and a half, which is enough for His Majesty to remember your name, master."

When County Magistrate Zhao's wife heard what Magistrate Zhao said, she understood that Magistrate Zhao was anxious. She smiled slightly and expressed her own analysis and understanding.

"What a shame, I am a seventh-grade county magistrate, but I am not as clear-eyed as Madam."

After hearing what his wife said, the county magistrate realized that he was a little eager for quick success.

"That's just because the master didn't notice it for a moment."

"Master, the meal is ready."

County Magistrate Zhao’s wife also did not take credit. Just stating the purpose of her coming here.

"Haha, Madam, you are indeed a talented woman. I am so lucky. Let's go together."

Magistrate Zhao looked at his wife who was still beautiful and talented, smiled heartily and pulled her out of the study.

……

"Hey, brother, I estimate that this wheat will produce more than 300 to 400 kilograms per acre this year."

In the blink of an eye, it was the turn of spring and summer of the next year. Li Youliang looked at the golden wheat in front of him and said with a smile to the village chief who had just come over.

"You are an expert in growing crops. If you say you have it, you will definitely have it."

The village chief in a long gown touched his beard and said with a smile.

"Hey, by the way, brother, what do you want to see me for?"

Li Youliang suddenly remembered that the village chief usually did not go to the fields, so he came to the fields to look for him today because he was worried that something might happen.

"Yes, it's something, it's a big deal."

Sure enough, the village chief didn't go to the fields.

"Tomorrow the county magistrate will come to your house to weigh your wheat."

"Ah? My family only has five acres of land. Why is the county magistrate weighing my wheat? Isn't it going to raise taxes?"

When Li Youliang heard that the county magistrate was going to weigh his wheat, he immediately thought of raising taxes. The anxious face turned red.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, no tax increase."

The village chief saw Li Youliang's anxious look and quickly comforted him.

“It would be good if we didn’t raise taxes, it would be good if we didn’t raise taxes.”

Li Youliang was immediately relieved when he heard the village chief said there would be no tax increase.

"When the time comes, keep an eye on the wheat and don't miss a single one. I'll just ask a few young adults to harvest the wheat for your family. Just don't move."

"Huh? I don't have to move?"

The village chief's next words immediately confused Li Youliang.

"The county magistrate came to your house to watch you harvest wheat. You can't possibly do it for three days and three nights, right?"

"Why did the county magistrate come to my house? I'm not a big girl, what's there to see?"

Li Youliang was confused. He didn't want to see the county magistrate. After all, he was a farmer. He was afraid that he would be locked up by the county magistrate if he did something wrong.

"What are you afraid of? It's a good thing. When the time comes, just ask your grandson to stay by your side. I'll keep you safe."

The village chief knew the reason as soon as he saw Li Youliang's appearance, and comforted Li Youliang.

"I'll leave first. Just prepare the harvesting tools."

After saying that, before Li Youliang could react, he turned around and left.

……

"The county magistrate has arrived."

At noon the next day, all the villagers in Xiaohe Village stood under the old locust tree and looked forward to Magistrate Zhao. Suddenly hearing the village chief's voice, the villagers knew that the county magistrate was coming.

The village chief, who was standing on the stone mill, got down with the help of his son. He looked at the string of black shadows that were slowly getting bigger in the distance and was ready to salute.

"Fortunately, you don't have to kneel down, otherwise my newly washed pudding pants will be dirty again."

Li Mu, who was standing in front of the crowd, pulled Li Youliang's clothes and muttered to himself.

As soon as he heard that the county magistrate was coming yesterday, he was worried because he didn't want to kneel, but he was afraid that not kneeling would break the law.

So I asked Li Youliang. The result was beyond Li Mu's expectation. People in this world don't have to kneel before officials, even the emperor doesn't have to kneel. He just needs to salute with his hands forward.

Li Mu was shocked by this. Is this world so enlightened?

Li Youliang couldn't explain why, but the village chief said:

"The Wei Dynasty governs the world together with the people of the world, and only the ancestors and heaven and earth kneel before them.

Scholars have strong backbones, warriors have sharp swords, and farmers have the right to choose who they farm for. "

Li Mu understood that the scholars in this world are very united and have integrity. The knights are very powerful and have the ability to assassinate kings and kill chariots. Farmers are also the soil that nourishes knights and scholars.

Knights and scholars are the real power in controlling public opinion.

Therefore, the imperial power has not yet been concentrated to the point where one family and one family can monopolize the world.

"Da Da Da ~"

"Uu~uh~"

With the neighing of horses, the dust gradually fell to the ground. Only then did Li Mu see clearly that there were more than twenty policemen in front of them, all riding horses with knives on their waists, protecting an ungorgeous but majestic wooden two-horse carriage in the middle. .

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate."

"Well, you are the village chief of Xiaohe Village?"

"Yes sir."

"No need to be polite. Speaking of which, Mr. Yang and I have met several times. It is thanks to Mr. Wang's teaching that Xiaohe Village has such talents."

"Everywhere, there are adults and herdsmen who are good at it."

Seeing the county magistrate and the village chief in official robes chasing each other after getting off the carriage, Li Mu also widened his eyes, wanting to see how this magistrate was different from the one on TV.

"I wonder who that child is?"

"Sir, that is the boy from this village, Li Tiedan."

Li Mu, who was looking at the county magistrate like a child with curiosity, was suddenly pointed at by the village chief, and he suddenly remembered what the village chief had just told him.

"My Lord County Magistrate, I am Li Tiedan."

Li Mu hurriedly trotted to the carriage, bowed politely to the county magistrate and said.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect such a good idea to come from a child. We have spent decades reading sages' books in vain."

"Hahaha~"

As soon as the village chief heard what County Magistrate Zhao said, he and the others beside him also became happy.

It seems that the county magistrate is not so serious, the villagers thought to themselves.

"Come on, little Tiedan boy, would you like to take me to your wheat field?"

When County Magistrate Zhao looked at Li Mu, who looked like a tiger-headed man, he felt a little less majestic and a little more cordial.

"Okay, Lord Magistrate, I will take you there."

Li Mu felt that the county magistrate was not so unkind and was quite friendly to the people. He relaxed his slightly nervous heart and gave full play to his age advantage, so he took Magistrate Zhao's hand and rushed to the Li family's wheat field. The village chief, Li Youliang and other villagers were horrified.

"Hahaha, let's go, everyone will come with us."

Perhaps County Magistrate Zhao was in a good mood today. Looking at the "big or small" Li Mu in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to the head catcher who was about to speak to stop him from speaking, and walked to the wheat field with Li Mu. go.
