There was a reason why Liu Village was so happy.
Because Qin Mu's household registration was in Liu Clan Village, if Qin Mu passed the Elementary Scholar examination, it would be equivalent to Liu Clan Village having a Public Elementary Scholar.
Many modern people thought that ancient scholars were useless, poor, and sour.
Little did they know that in the early years of Ming Dynasty, those who could pass the scholar examination had already entered the privileged class.
According to the law promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang, a scholar could exempt two people from corvee. Moreover, they did not have to pay taxes on their own land. They could also meet the county magistrate at any time and enjoy the privilege of not kneeling before the officials.
Even though Liu Clan Village couldn't put all the land under Qin Mu's name and enjoy the privilege of tax exemption and corvee exemption.
But in the future, when they fought with other villages for water sources and firewood in the mountains, they would be able to use the water to cut firewood.
With Qin Mu's identity as 'Duke Scholar,' it was a huge advantage.
Thus, Qin Mu had passed the Elementary Scholar examination, and the commoners of Liu Clan Village were even happier than Qin Mu himself.
Liu Biao, the chief of the Liu Family Village, even went straight to the pigsty to catch a pig. He planned to kill the pig to feast the entire village.
Because Qin Mu's identity in the village was his godson.
Since Qin Mu had passed the scholar examination, as his godfather, he could also get the title of a councilor!
"Hahaha!"
"What did we say?"
"Back then, we said that Young Master Qin was a scholar and would definitely become a high-ranking official in the future!”
"Now you've been told that you'll be able to do it!”
"Our Little Husband Qin only took a small test and passed the examination as a scholar!”
"In two years, I'll be able to become an official in the Imperial Court!”
The villagers saw that the conversation was lively and followed suit.
"Li Zheng!"
"Everyone knows that you have good taste!”
"Don't be so arrogant. Hurry up and kill the pig. Everyone can't wait any longer. Hahaha!”
Li Zheng Liu Dabiao pulled out a boning knife from his waist and waved it under the sun.
"A few strong young men, help us tie up the pigs. We'll kill the pigs for everyone!”
"Alright!"
Everyone agreed, and a few strong young men ran out from the crowd.
For a moment, some pulled their legs and some pulled their ears.
In just a few breaths of time, he had pressed a 200-pound fat pig to the ground.
Liu Dabiao took a sip of wine and sprayed it at the boning knife. Just as he was about to kill the pig, he was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The way you hold the knife is wrong!”
Liu Dabiao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in a daze. Seeing that the other party was a foreigner and still dared to point fingers, he was instantly dissatisfied.
"What's wrong?"
"By the way, where did you come from? Why haven't we seen you before?
A few children in the private school ran over to complain.
"Uncle Li Zheng, this strange old man wants to abduct Mister to be his grandson!”
"He even said that he wanted to give Mister a few ores!”
"What?!"
When Liu Dabiao heard this, he immediately became vigilant.
Qin Mu was the treasure of their Liu Clan Village, so how could he let others snatch him away?
"Old man!"
"Is what that child said true?”
"How dare you come to our village to cheat and swindle? We'll drag you to the authorities now!”
Qin Mu saw that the situation was a little tense and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
"Godfather!"
"This old man has just lost his son. He's all alone and has no children.”
"Besides, we were just joking!”
"I'm doing well in Liu Family Village. How could I be kidnapped?”
When Li Zheng Liu Dabiao heard Qin Mu's words, his expression softened.
When he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's son had just died, his hostility towards him immediately weakened.
"So it's the white-haired man sending the black-haired man off!”
"How pitiful!"
"If you don't have a place to stay, you can stay in our village!”
"Although our Liu Family Village isn't rich, we can't do without you!”
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled.
"That's good!"
"After I'm done dealing with the matters of Ying Tian Prefecture, I'll move to your village and be a companion with the old man in your village. Hahaha!”
Zhu Yuanzhang had a straightforward personality and was very infectious. With a few words, he became one with the villagers.
With a few words, he took the boning knife from Liu Dabiao and took on the role of a butcher.
Back when Zhu Yuanzhang was in the army, he was also an expert at killing pigs!
He could kill more than ten pigs in one breath!
Now that he saw such a big fat pig, he had long been itching to fight.
"Nephew Dabiao!"
"The way you held the knife just now was wrong. You should be like me!”
"Watch carefully!"
"With your palm facing up, your thumb and index finger should be crossed and placed on the hilt!”
As Zhu Yuanzhang stabbed the dagger into the fat pig's neck, the fat pig let out a miserable howl.
"Stab it in like this, then flip your wrist like this!”
"This way, the bleeding will be faster, and the pig will suffer less pain!”
"Men!"
"Get me a basin for blood!"
Liu Dabiao's wife, Aunt Liu, hurriedly handed over the basin that she had prepared beforehand.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the basin and placed it under the pig's neck.
As he pulled out the boning knife, blood gushed out of the fat pig's neck like a fountain.
The timid children in the village covered their eyes and peeked.
The bold children were already clapping their hands in celebration. They were about to eat pork.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not stay idle after killing the pigs. Instead, he instructed everyone to boil water and chop wood, looking like an expert.
Liu Dabiao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and gave her a thumbs up.
"An expert!"
"Uncle, you are a butcher in the Ying Tian Prefecture, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes.
He thought to himself, Are you bragging or scolding me?
I killed a lot of people, but you can't call me a butcher, right?
"I guess so!"
