Chapter 279: Steady and Long-lasting
Outside the government office, everyone was in an uproar.
Who is Liang Qu?
A famous person in Hebo!
Not to mention his previous deeds of killing thieves and destroying the Whale Gang, the day he competed with Wei Shao in duck water, and won the battle with a big realm difference, which was a sensation.
The whole Hebo knew everyone, whether they knew him or not, whether they wanted to get involved or not, all knew him.
Eighth-rank He Bo, a horse-running martial artist, learned from the Pingyang County tiger-hunting martial artist, Yang Dongxiong, the head of Hebo...
He was famous at a young age, and was indeed extraordinary. Many people were convinced that he could become a seventh-rank Du Shui Lang, and regarded him as a role model for the rise of the lower class.
But... not everyone.
Especially Wei Lin's side, who were originally different and disagreed, heard the content of the reward, and had some complaints.
How old is Liang Qu, has he come of age?
Not to mention his great achievements, he jumped two levels to the seventh rank, and got a fourth-rank dragon blood horse, which was too generous!
The Hebo Office is not a military office through and through. Whoever is strong will be promoted quickly and highly.
It has a civilian nature.
Why did Dashun hold the imperial examination?
The reason is very simple. People with strong strength may not know how to govern the place.
Even if you are in the military camp, you must understand the art of war if you want to be a general. If you can only rush in, you can only be a vanguard at most!
In addition to the need to deal with water beasts and the Ghost Mother Sect in terms of martial arts, water conservancy construction, river management, water control and drainage in terms of civil governance are also within the scope of authority.
Those two river-opening cows are still helping to open up irrigation channels for summer planting in the fields today.
In addition, some people are dissatisfied, not because Liang Qu is young and unconvinced, but because they feel it is unfair.
There are a total of 18 branches of the Ghost Mother Sect. Why can you jump two levels by strangling a branch of the Ghost Mother Sect?
When the entire Ghost Mother Sect is completely wiped out in the future, will the nine-rank and eighteen-level official system be enough for him to be promoted?
Besides, Liang Qu's main action on the battlefield was just to shoot arrows for support. It can't be said that it was not very effective, but he didn't fight hand-to-hand, fight for his life, and experience the real danger. What do other martial artists with broken hands and feet think?
In short, some people are convinced, and some are not.
There are many reasons for being unconvinced, and there are many kinds of expressions. Even when the envoy from Nanzhili was reading in front, there was some discussion below.
The foolish man in the countryside is really fearless!
The terrifying murderous aura was vented and splashed like a torrent, thick and sticky like substance.
The few people who started to discuss it felt like they fell into an ice cave, and their legs trembled and limp.
The team stood tightly, and they were blocked by the people in front and behind them, half squatting and half paralyzed. Some were unlucky and stood on both sides of the queue and fell to the ground.
No one dared to help.
The sound of the tide.
The surroundings were quiet again.
"Excuse me."
Wei Lin bowed his hands, expressionless.
The middle-aged man had heard of Wei Lin's style. Even though there were many noises in the court, and the arguments were red in the face, let alone the "wild way" present, he didn't care and continued to read.
In the queue, Liang Qu's eyes flickered.
"A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow..."
Needless to say, no one looked back at him in front of him, but behind him, he could feel that many eyes were cast at him.
Obviously, there were two people before him, and the rewards were almost the same, but there was no dragon blood horse, and no one spoke out.
It's nothing, it's not famous, so naturally there is less attention.
Not to mention that Liang Qu himself was somewhat surprised.
I thought that this time I would at most be promoted to the first rank, but I never thought that I would jump two levels, and there was also a fourth-rank dragon blood horse promotion pill, which was really unexpected.
Dragon blood horse is a symbol of glory, and many people would rather have one than lose a great merit.
Nanzhili is really generous.
How did Xu Yuelong write the merit application form?
Learn it some other day. No matter how much others say, it is better to have more food in the bowl.
After the middle-aged man finished reading, Xu Yuelong went forward and invited him to rest in the government office.
"It is hot. Lord Pei has come from afar. Why don't you stay for a while and drink some iced yogurt to cool down?"
The middle-aged man shook another memorial and declined the thanks.
"I went to the river and lake first. The Demon Hunting Department has not received the credit yet. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time."
"So that's the case. It is not appropriate to keep the colleagues of the Demon Hunting Department waiting for a long time. I respectfully send you off."
Xu Yuelong bowed.
"Farewell, Lord."
Everyone bowed together.
The middle-aged man nodded, got on his horse, took away most of the team, and left a small number of accompanying officials to distribute rewards.
Several chief clerks flipped through the list and called out the names.
Liang Qu was in the front of the line. He heard his name among the first few. He came up and received a small sandalwood box, an identity document, a token, a seal, an official uniform, etc.
The official who distributed the rewards asked Liang Qu to check if there were any missing or wrong ones.
The token and seal were all fine. Liang Qu opened the small sandalwood box containing the Dragon Blood Horse Upgrade Pill and was surprised.
"What a big pill!"
He thought that the Kirin Pill, which was the size of a human eye, was big enough and his throat felt uncomfortable after swallowing it. He didn't expect that the Dragon Blood Horse Upgrade Pill was as big as a fist!
A horse's throat shouldn't be that thick, right?
Won't it choke to death?
Liang Qu looked up at the chief clerk who gave him the box.
"How to feed? Swallow the whole pill?"
The chief clerk bowed and said, "Sir Liang, the Upgrade Pill is not swallowed whole. It can be crushed and mixed with grass or made into mud, and then let the Dragon Blood Horse swallow it all. But don't worry, this should be done by us. Wait a moment."
"Trouble you."
"Sir Liang, you're welcome."
The chief clerk bowed and simply arranged the matters at hand. While other colleagues were still distributing items, he took another clerk to the stables of the Heboso.
Liang Qu rode Chishan when he came. During the few hours of waiting, he naturally let it stay in the stable of Heboso and be looked after by the horse servants of Heboso.
On the way, the chief clerk bowed and congratulated: "Sir Liang is a young hero. He has been promoted to the seventh rank before he was twenty. He is really envied by others."
"Why envy others? I believe you have also seen that many people are dissatisfied."
"He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is clear. Sir Liang does not need to pay attention to those who are unwise and unclear.
And I see that many people are dissatisfied, and there are also many who are satisfied. Now some people can discuss it, it is nothing more than Sir Liang's official position is not high enough to manage them. If he is promoted two levels and becomes the Hengshui envoy, who dares to say anything?
The left and right are just frogs in the well, and they don't know Sir Liang's achievements. You should know that in Nanzhili, Sir Liang's name is much more famous than in Pingyang County."
Liang Qu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Naturally, he is well-known in Yixing Town. After all, he has done a lot of practical things. What is the situation in Nanzhili?
I have never been there myself.
The chief clerk was surprised: "Did Lord Liang forget the Pinyin method? After the summer solstice this year, almost all the academies in Nanzhili began to promote this method.
Everyone who has literacy enlightenment uses it, even my kid knows that it is very easy to learn to read with the Pinyin method.
This is how you got this fourth-grade upgrade pill, don't you know?"
Liang Qu was confused.
He really didn't know, and even thought that the upgrade pill was given by the superiors because he did a good job in Hebo.
Is this the third time?
The first time was given to Chishan, who made him the Hebo River Lord.
The second time was given to Dazao Jue, even if it was low, it was still a Jue.
Now it is a fourth-grade dragon blood horse, there will be more after that, right?
Liang Qu made a bold guess.
No matter how fast the Pinyin method is, it will take most children a year to learn to read.
He has a good foundation, and he received systematic education in his previous life, so he can recognize all of them in two or three months.
This reward is really a long-lasting reward.
