Zi'an County is under the jurisdiction of Yuhe Prefecture, Qiongzhou, the imperial dynasty. The population of the county is about 200,000, and there are no special products that can be bought.
On a street paved with bluestones, Mo He followed Taoist Qingmei, his eyes kept looking around, this was the first time he came to the county seat of Zi'an County, naturally he was a little curious about this place, and he couldn't help looking around .
Arriving at the county seat of Zi'an County, Mo He finally realized the prosperity that belongs to this world after coming to this world.
Rows of shops on both sides of the road are neatly arranged, giving people a very clean and tidy atmosphere. There are no small vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road, because this road leads to the county government office of Zi'an County. Vendors are not allowed to set up stalls, but even so, there are still many pedestrians on this street.
Not long after, Mo He and others arrived in front of the county government office, and Mo He saw two stone statues about two meters high guarding both sides of the county government office gate.
Naturally, these two stone statues cannot be stone lions, but the images of two generals. These two generals are equivalent to the roles of gate gods in this world. The stories about them are also widely circulated in this world.
According to legend, during the first dynasty of the human race, once the border was attacked by monsters. The two generals in charge of guarding the border fought desperately. Nearly impossible feat.
When the support from the human race arrived, almost all the soldiers guarding the pass were lost, and the two generals guarding the pass had their last breath left.
However, with their last breath, the two generals still burned all their blood and turned into hundreds of feet, blocking the door with their flesh and blood, and finally supported the arrival of the human race.
After the two generals died in battle, they were conferred the title of "Blood Marquis" by the first emperor at that time.
In the folk, because of the deeds of the two generals desperately guarding the pass, the people of the human race respected the two generals as door gods. Over time, the two generals really gained the authority of the door gods and had the function of guarding the house.
The county government office in Zi'an County, surrounded by the guards of two door god statues, looked extraordinarily majestic. Mo He followed Taoist Qingmei and walked into the county government office. At the moment of entering the door, Mo He suddenly Feeling a throbbing, as if there were countless pairs of eyes in all directions, all staring at him at this moment, which made Mo He feel a little uncomfortable at that moment, he made a wrong step, and walked forward with the same hands and feet A step or two.
"No, there is some kind of power in this county government that affected me in an instant." Mo He reacted quickly, and then quickly adjusted his pace.
Mo He's little move was naturally noticed by Daoist Qingmei beside him, so he put his hand on the top of Mo He's head, rubbed Mo He's hair, and said.
"Don't worry, the county government has the power of the imperial law. As long as ordinary people walk into the county, they will be intimidated by the power of the law. Just be normal."
"I still know too little about this world!" Hearing the comfort of Daoist Qingmei in his ear, Mo He secretly thought in his heart.
For this world, he still knows too little. After studying with Taoist Qingmei for more than half a year, he didn't even understand a lot of common sense.
But now Mo He has initially mastered the characters of this world. Next, as long as he has enough knowledge from books, he can quickly understand this world. As for some secrets, he can also go to Daoist Qingmei to clarify his doubts.
"My lords, the county magistrate is already waiting, please follow me!" Not long after they entered the county office, someone immediately came to lead the way, leading Daoist Qingmei, and others came to a hall.
After entering the hall, Mo He saw an old man in a light blue official robe sitting at the top of the hall. When he saw everyone coming in, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"Haha, Daoist Qingmei, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if I'm still used to living in Zi'an County!" While speaking, the old man stepped forward very naturally, grabbed Daoist Qingmei's hand, and brought him Go to a seat and sit down.
A simple action, inadvertently, brought the distance closer. After all, when Daoist Qingmei first came last time, they didn't establish any friendship with each other. For people, of course, the relationship needs to be brought closer.
"Although the life on Wangyue Mountain is a bit bitter, it's still quiet. I'm sorry for the magistrate!" After sitting down, Taoist Qingmei's attitude at this time was completely different from when he was in Qingmeiguan, and he replied with a smile on his face. road.
Anyway, they have already come, since they have decided to intervene in this matter, then there is no need to worry about the unpleasantness before, and Daoist Qingmei also hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to truly gain a foothold in Zi'an County.
Daoist Qingmei has been in Zi'an County for more than a year. Although he is already well-known in Zi'an County, the high-level circles in Zi'an County have never accepted him, even as a Taoist official. been.
"That's good. I'll trouble Taoist Priest Qingmei for this monster this time. Presumably, if the Taoist master takes action, this monster will be able to be punished." The county venerable continued to compliment.
Mo He stood silently behind Taoist Priest Qingmei, watching Taoist Priest Qingmei arguing with the magistrate of Zi'an County, and at the same time sizing him up carefully.
The county venerable, who was arguing with Daoist Qingmei, seemed to be an ordinary old man with some age spots on his hands, but when Mo He glanced at the other party's eyes inadvertently, he suddenly felt A kind of profundity, as if a well-educated person with poor experience and a good head can see everything right and wrong.
This kind of look is very similar to an old professor Mo He met when he was in school in his previous life. It is a kind of accumulation of time and knowledge.
"This county lord, it seems that it is not simple." Mo He thought in his heart.
While Mo He was thinking this way, he suddenly heard the county venerable change the subject and bring the topic to himself.
"I heard that the Taoist chief took a local kid as his apprentice, it must be this kid, he looks really smart!"
Hearing that the topic suddenly turned to himself, Mo He immediately cheered up and showed a childlike smile that was harmless to humans and animals.
"Yes, this child is indeed quite intelligent. I have accepted him as a registered disciple. If he can successfully enter the Tao, then I will enroll him in my sect and pass on the mantle." Daoist Qingmei nodded, and then sent Mo He Pulling it to the front of him, he said to Mo He.
"This is Lord Zun'an of the county, the parent officer of Zi'an County, and he hasn't stepped forward to salute."
"Greetings to the county lord!" Mo He stepped forward to salute very obediently.
"Good, good, good, smart and polite, no wonder you can be accepted as a disciple by the Taoist chief. You are a child of my Zi'an County, so this opportunity is also rare. I will give you ten books. I am so lucky to learn from the Taoist priest Qingmei." The county lord Looking at Mo He nodded, and then summoned a waiter.
"Follow him to my study and choose for yourself!"
"Thank you county lord!" Mo He turned his head and glanced at Taoist Priest Qingmei, and after seeing Taoist Priest Qingmei nodded to him, he thanked him and followed the waiter out.
In fact, Mo He knew very well in his heart that the so-called gift of ten volumes of books to himself is firstly to sell Taoist Qingmei a good deal, and secondly to pay him off, and then there should be serious business discussions, and it is not convenient for him to stand alone as a child. Listening inside, this is the same as my original world. Every time the adults talk about business, they will send the children out to play, which is the same reason.
"It's here, come in with me to pick!" Under the leadership of the waiter, Mo He came to the study of the county lord, and saw several rows of neatly arranged bookshelves, each of which was filled with books. All kinds of books, the scale of this collection far exceeded Mo He's previous expectations.
"Finally, I have the opportunity to truly understand the world!" Looking at so many books in front of him, Mo He immediately understood that this was the best opportunity for him to quickly understand the world.
"These books here are all grown-ups' treasures. They cover theories of a hundred schools of thought, the art of war, and some folk tales. I don't know what you want to choose?" the waiter looked at Mo He and asked.
Looking at Mo He, who was five or six years old, the waiter didn't think he could tell the difference between good and bad. I'm afraid he could only choose a few of them at random. He just had to pay attention and guide him a little, so that he wouldn't take away the precious ones. Rare books will do.
This is the mission of this waiter. Apart from bringing Mo He here, he must also ensure that Mo He will not take too precious books.
"Can I read the contents of these books first?" Mo He asked the waiter.
The waiter heard the words and reckoned that it might take some time for the adults to say that the business is going to take some time. If Mo He finished choosing the book soon and clamored to see his master later, it would not be good to disturb the conversation of the adults. Let him read the book here first, so he nodded and said: "Yes, but you can't break the book!"
After getting the waiter's nod, Mo He couldn't wait to take out a book from the bookshelf, sat down on the ground, opened the book and began to read it.
The waiter noticed that what Mo He was holding in his hand turned out to be a history book. It was a history book that historians had been compiling since their birth. There are nearly a hundred books of all the history that Fang Shijie has experienced, and it is a must-read book for all scholars in the entire dynasty.
At this moment, Mo He felt like he had found a treasure. He was sitting on the ground, constantly flipping through the book in his hand. It was the same as the story that Taoist Qingmei once told him, but the description was more detailed.
After quickly flipping through the first book in his hand, he put it back on the bookshelf, picked up the second book next to him, and eagerly read it.
Seeing Mo He's appearance, the waiter at the side was slightly surprised, "Such a young child, can he really understand?"
