This gave him a huge shock and made him realize that in ancient society, it was impossible to not have an identity.
Thus, he decided to take a test for an official rank.
If one were to ask him why he only remembered to take the examination after transmigrating for ten years, then he would have to wait until now.
The answer was that he didn't know how to write eight-part essays…
If it wasn't for his space bag, which just happened to have a book on the appreciation of the eight-legged essays of the Ming Dynasty's imperial examinations, he wouldn't have dared to participate in the Ming Dynasty's imperial examinations even if he had a hundred guts.
Even the lowest level of the Elementary Scholar exam was based on one's true ability.
With his knowledge of classical Chinese, he could forget about it. Even if he took the exam, it would be a waste of energy.
With the appreciation of the eight-legged essays of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he memorized the excellent eight-legged essays inside, he would be able to recite them.
Not to mention taking the scholar examination, he could even take the imperial examination and the imperial examination easily.
After all, what could be included in this book was the essence of the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years.
Moreover, many of them were the model essays of the top scorer!
However, he didn't want to take the imperial examinations.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a good emperor, but he was only good to the common people. He was not so good to the civil officials and generals in the court.
Moreover, in a few years, when Zhu Di invaded Yingtian Prefecture, would he follow Fang Xiaoru and the others to sacrifice his life for justice, or would he kneel and surrender?
In ancient times, the reputation and integrity of a scholar were very important.
If a scholar's reputation was damaged, he would be despised by all the scholars in the world.
Qin Mu didn't want to end up with a bad reputation.
Moreover, for him, having the title of a scholar was enough.
Because with this fame, not only could he take revenge and take back his restaurant, but he could also use this to create his own business empire!
Refining salt!
Creating glass!
Even if he didn't take the industrial route, he could still rely on the potatoes, corn, and other high-yield crops in his space bag to achieve wealth freedom by farming!
It could be said that any industry he picked from modern technology could make him the richest man in Ming Dynasty!
However, his goal had never been to become a wealthy landlord.
He only had one purpose for making money, and that was to trade overseas and colonize the world!
This goal was difficult to achieve in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang. As for Zhu Yunwen…
When he thought of Zhu Yunwen, Qin Mu was filled with anger!
Zhu Yuanzhang had laid such a good foundation for his grandson. It could be said that he had won the game while lying down.
But what about this grandson?
It took four years for Zhu Di to attack Nanjing City!
When he thought of this, Qin Mu wished he could run outside the palace and beat the Dengwen Drum to tell Zhu Yuanzhang loudly that that grandson was trash and that he shouldn't be made the emperor's great grandson!
Even though he had ten thousand regrets in his heart, Qin Mu didn't dare to do so.
Because once he did it, Zhu Yunwen would definitely be fine, but it was hard to say for him.
It would be good if Zhu Yuanzhang could kill him with a single slash. If not, he might even kill hundreds of people in the Liu family village!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that his casual joke could trigger so many thoughts in Qin Mu's mind.
He placed the jade pendant on the table and patted Qin Mu's shoulder.
"Good grandson!"
"Grandpa still has something to do today. I have to answer to the Heavenly Mansion to deal with some trivial matters first. I'll come and see you another day when I'm free!”
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking to Qin Mu, he greeted the surrounding villagers.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I'll come to your village another day!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was such a person. He might not be so polite to the civil and military officials.
But for the people of Ming Dynasty, especially the farmers, he liked them from the bottom of his heart.
Because he always remembered that he was the son of a farmer!
Even if he was the emperor now, he could not forget his roots!
Zhu Yuanzhang had just walked out of the courtyard when Qin Mu chased after him.
"Grandpa Huang!"
"Take this jade pendant!"
"You just said that this jade pendant has an extraordinary meaning to you. I can't take away what others love!”
"In addition, this Tian Huang Stone is a precious treasure and is worth a lot!”
"This brat doesn't deserve a reward. He doesn't dare to accept such a valuable gift!”
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately put on a stern face and said in a lecturing tone.
"Brat, are you looking down on us?”
"We have never asked for anything back!”
"Since we've given this to you, you should keep it well!”
"If you continue to make excuses, don't blame Grandpa for being angry!”
"This…"
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment before tying the jade pendant around his waist in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
"That's right!"
"How can a man be so wishy-washy!”
"No matter how valuable this thing is, it's just a stone in our eyes!”
Qin Mu wasn't a shy person. Even though this piece of jade was precious, it wasn't enough to move his heart.
Since the old man insisted on giving it to him, he might as well accept it.
At most, he would just take care of the old man in his old age.
Anyway, he had already decided to take care of all the elderly in the village, not including Old Huang.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Qin Mu call him 'grandpa', he grinned happily.
"Sigh!"
"Good grandson!"
"Grandpa is leaving. Grandpa will come to see you another day!”
……
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left the Liu Family Village, he gave an order to the leader of the guards, Er Hu.
"Send a few people to investigate this person called Qin Mu!”
"We must find out everything about him!”
"Also, investigate if there's a person called Li Erleng in the Ying Tian Prefecture. Which bastard is this person working for?”
"Yes, sir!"
"We will obey the Emperor's orders!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang gave his orders to Xiao Hu, he boarded the carriage and headed towards Ying Tian Prefecture.
The Liu Family Village was not far from Nanjing City. It was only a dozen miles away from the official road. It did not take long for them to enter the Imperial Palace from the Xuanwu Gate in the north.
Zhu Yuanzhang had just arrived at the Imperial Palace when the Chief Eunuch Yu Chun trotted over with a bright yellow imperial edict.
"Emperor!"
"Before you left, you asked Lord Qi to draft the edict. Lord Qi has already drafted it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the imperial edict in Yu Chun's hand and hesitated.
He didn't need to look to know the contents of the imperial edict. It was the edict to confer Zhu Yunwen the title of the imperial grandson.
If it was a few hours ago, he would not have hesitated at all.
However, what he had just experienced in Liu Family Village made him waver.
If the young man from the Liu Family Village was really Zhu Xiongying, then the matter of conferring the title of Imperial Grandson would have to be reconsidered.
