The common people can revel in the rain and celebrate the hard-won nectar, but how can the officials and powerful men in this county be so unrestrained.
At this time, Shi and Yu, several famous elders, had already gathered around and took shelter from the rain in the reception hall on one side.
Of course, they were also very excited at this time, because the sacrificial inscriptions and scriptures were simply too exquisite, and they were all praising the elders.
"This rain is so timely, Mr. Shi's contribution cannot be erased!"
"I'm just saying how could the City God remain indifferent to such a sincere memorial? It's so well written."
"Yes, it is meaningful and well-organized. After hearing this, I felt that the rain must fall." Several village clan chiefs are very fond of famous people, because even if they become officials, their influence is still much greater than theirs. .
However, Zhao Chun, the head of the Zhao family, looked a little disdainful. These unsophisticated people would not be able to flatter him.
So he couldn't help but said: "But I think it's the effect of those magical scriptures. It seems like you can feel the existence of the City God when you recite it. It's really mysterious. I don't know which state's City God Temple Shi Laoyu got it from." ?”
Zhao Chun was very knowledgeable and could hear the Taoist rhyme in this scripture and could sense the spirit of the City God. He did not think that Shi Hongmao could write this in a short time.
He had been to the God's Temple in the county and city, and it was impossible to have such scriptures, so it would only be in the state or the capital.
Only Shenjing has the City God, and the City God's Temple is something that ordinary junior officials from the capital can establish relationships with, so he confidently asked which state's City God's Temple got it.
The two elders looked at each other with confusion and embarrassment in their eyes.
"Didn't you write the memorial?"
"Didn't you get the scriptures?"
"Could it be that Ji County Master had a plan in advance and knew that praying for rain would not go well, so he went to the top."
After a few exchanges of questions, the guest hall fell silent. If it wasn't the elders, who could it be?
It happened that Ji Hongzhe, smiling broadly, walked into the hall side by side with a tall young man.
"Did you arrange those for the county minister?" Shi Hongmao was a little dissatisfied. Even if his memorial text was not as good as the one he read, he should have informed him in advance.
If it weren't for him and Lao Yu, who else in the county would have such sophisticated writing skills?
And even they can't do it overnight, they have to prepare for a long time. Their writing style is more sophisticated, but their literary thinking is not as active as when they were young.
"Oh my Mr. Shi, I want to give you a surprise, let you see who our Pingcang successor is!" Ji Hongzhe was not embarrassed at all, but was even more happy and enthusiastic.
"Is there anyone who will succeed you?" Shi Hongmao looked at the gentle young man standing next to Shi Hongmao, his mouth unable to close for a long time.
Yu Nan also understood and said in surprise: "Did Zhou Bai write the memorial text? Could it be that the scripture also came from it?"
"What, is there any problem with being a Jinshi?" Ji Hongzhe patted Zhou Bai on the shoulder and asked.
Zhou Bai took a step forward and calmly greeted the people around him: "Boy Zhou Bai, I have met all of you seniors."
"How is this possible! He is just a scholar, how can he write scriptures with Taoist rhyme?" Zhao Chun shook his head and said in disbelief.
Zhou Bai smiled and said: "Master Zhao really has a good eye. I have not finished reciting this sutra. I just accidentally wrote it down on the broken tablet when I was young."
That is to say, only the memorial text was written by him, but this alone is too exaggerated. After all, it was done in one stroke.
If the high-ranking officials in the county were still unconvincing about his talent as a Jinshi, now it is certain that he will be a Jinshi.
Tong Jinshi was within the understanding range. Everyone was relieved and praised Zhou Bailai with different expressions. They didn't dare to praise him just now. It is impossible for mortals to write Taoist scriptures.
Zhao Chun looked surprised. It was hard to be happy seeing Zhou Bai's talent. Liang Ji had some problems with him, and he was also involved in what happened that night. Do you want to be his enemy?
…
Just now, when Zhou Bai said that he had not finished reciting the scriptures, from his perspective, there was a gaze from the City God's Hall next door.
It must be that the City God descended into the City God statue. His eyes were soft and full of kindness. Perhaps he noticed that Zhou Bai was looking at him and nodded slightly.
It was just that he might have to use divine magic to make the rain last longer, but he did not come into contact with Zhou Bai.
Instead, he waved out a deep and rich red energy to bless Zhou Bai.
[Origin Point: Seventeen] (You receive the blessing of luck from the City God of Pingcang County, and have further contact with the Shinto system of this world, and the origin point is increased by ten.)
The fame brought by the crime leader, and then the status of Yunqiwei, Zhou clan leader, and now the City God gave him another boost.
Nowadays, his fortune is already full of good fortune. Even if he does not have the aura of the county, his life will be in vain, but it will not be a problem to pass the exam.
There are so many talented people in Dingzhou, and there may be many who can surpass him in luck, but Zhou Bai doesn't think that many of them can surpass him in literary skills.
Since reading the general outline of the Five Emperors Taoist Scriptures in this life, the insights from the two lives have been integrated and summarized, and his Taoist career has progressed by leaps and bounds.
However, the luck in his body is now enough to pass the examination, but it may not be enough to solve the problem of Yuan Yayuan.
Dingzhou is not too famous, and its literary level is much lower than that of Neizhou. However, Dingzhou also has aristocratic families, and every county has a county magistrate.
The legitimate sons of these families must have yellow energy in them, and even those who are favored may not necessarily have less green energy.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai felt that he was still not stable. The higher the ranking, the better. His white destiny was still counting on the improvement of the system.
Of course, there are also scruples and restrictions when changing one’s destiny under the dynasty system.
If you are promoted too quickly and have an unstable foundation, your virtues will not be matched, and sudden misfortunes are common.
Therefore, the imperial court often promotes officials with strong abilities but weak talents one by one.
The transfer every three years is the most suitable time to be verified by successive dynasties, because those who are promoted need three years to slowly cultivate their official aura through the system.
However, there is one exception, and that is the imperial examination supported by the Heavenly Court. As long as you pass the examination, even if you win six yuan in a row and get an imperial examination, you will not have to worry about your inadequacy.
Now Zhou Bai can think of the fastest and safest way to improve one's destiny, which is to get a spot in the imperial examination.
He didn't ask for anything extravagantly. He worked as a farmer in the morning and ascended to the Emperor's Hall in the evening.
But he hopes that the next provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination can improve his destiny. Not to mention the green destiny, he must have the yellow destiny.
The land of a single county in the Daxu Dynasty could often become its own country in the past when the humane dynasty was changing in chaos.
It can be said that it is the most basic administrative unit with a complete system. Even today, many long-established families are still accustomed to calling the county government offices as county dynasties. Officials, big and small, are as valuable as those who attend court meetings. They are participating in the dynasty. County dynasty.
To lead such a county and dynasty, yellow life is the most basic. Otherwise, if the master's life is too low, it will affect the operation of the system.
Feeling that he was lucky enough to pass the exam, Zhou Bai felt that what he had extracted from the city god was not enough. This was just the weight of the sacrificial scriptures, so what should you exchange for the scriptures.
It seemed that he would not be able to sleep peacefully tonight, and he had a vague realization in his heart that these gods did not like to meet at night.
