Chapter 206 Future
Gu Xu took the appointment letter and read it carefully.
I saw it read:
"The ancients said: 'Knowing people is the key to peace of mind.'
"This is all based on the foundation of the country, and the glory is in the emperor's reign. Work hard morning and night, never forget your purpose. Nowadays, ghosts and ghosts are causing chaos, and the people are at peace. They need to think deeply about morality and correct their shortcomings.
"Yishui County has experienced Gu Xu's elegance and long-awaited success. He has great talent early, has a clear understanding of intelligence, is strong and strong, is not afraid of difficulties, and is not alarmed by changes. He is the weapon of Hulian and the material of his pillar.
" Therefore, Chao was promoted to the head of the Exorcism Department, with an official rank of sixth rank. "

"Another exceptional promotion..." Gu Xu thought silently.
Because Luo Sishou had been promoted a few days ago This matter was mentioned in front of him, so Gu Xu was not too surprised.
Of course, Gu Xu's biggest concern is salary.
“May I ask, Sir, how much is the monthly salary for the position of chief?”
“Twelve taels of silver.”
“Twelve taels...”
Gu Xu calculated in his mind: Twelve taels of silver, compared with his previous monthly salary, tripled at once.
Sounds like a good idea.
It’s just that prices in Beijing are much higher than in Yishui County.
In addition, he may have to spend a lot of money to buy a house in the future...
The road to making money still has a long way to go.
Luochuan smiled and then said: "Gu Xiaoyou, since you are not a local in Luojing, if you want to buy real estate and land in the capital, you can apply for a subsidy from the Exorcism Department Yamen.< br>
"In addition, Shangguan Jin is very familiar with the conditions in various areas of the capital. When you choose a house, you might as well ask her to go with you. I think she may be able to give you some useful suggestions."
It turns out that Exorcism Does the company still have housing subsidies?
Hearing this, Gu Xu was secretly happy. After all, when it comes to money, you can save a fortune.
“Also,” Luo Chuan continued, “the court has finally come to a conclusion regarding the conferment of your title. If nothing else happens, you should be awarded the title of Viscount for life, and you can also Obtained the Alchemy Iron Coupon and a lot of Lumi.
“Your knighthood ceremony will be held in five days. At that time, a eunuch will take you to the Zichen Palace to meet the emperor and receive the inscription and seal.
"Of course, the emperor has been practicing in seclusion recently. It is very likely that you will not see his face at all. You will only see the palm eunuch or His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning."
"We are finally entering the palace..." Gu Xu thought secretly.
As a time traveler, although he does not have the same awe of the imperial power as the native residents of the wilderness, he is still somewhat curious about the situation in the palace.
He really wanted to see how terrifying the aura of the emperor in the realm of "true king" was, how beautiful Princess Zhaoning, known as "the most beautiful woman in Luo Jing" was, and whether the life in the Daqi court was similar to Just like in movies and TV shows, the order is rigorous and luxurious.
“Master Chief, do I need to make any preparations?”
"Remember to wear official uniforms, wear a black gauze hat, and pay attention to your appearance," Luo Chuan smiled slightly and replied, "In addition, according to the ancestral system of Da Qi, even if you see the emperor himself, practitioners do not need to kneel down to salute. "Don't forget this." Gu Xu nodded. He always felt that there was something in Luochuan's words.
“One more thing,” Luo Chuan paused for a few seconds and continued to explain, “When the Imperial Master went to Qingzhou Mansion to seal the Nine Infant Snake Demon, he saw your attainments in Talisman Dao. He is full of praise for you.
"Therefore, he recommended that you go to Longmen Academy as a 'guest teacher' and spend some time every month to give lectures to the students majoring in Fu Tao in the academy.
“The teaching salary at Longmen Academy is excellent. You can get a lot of silver and pills every month, which is higher than your salary at the Yamen. I think you will be very interested.”
"Indeed." Gu Xu agreed.
He likes this kind of job with high salary and leisure best.
In addition, he is currently climbing the "Homesickness Ridge" and needs to accumulate various life experiences. Going to Longmen Academy to teach may bring him many different feelings.
“However,” Luo Chuan suddenly changed the topic, “the teachers in Longmen Academy, including Dean Li, don’t really recognize your qualifications. They feel that this position should be given to someone younger. Someone who is older, has higher cultivation level, and has more experience.
“In response, the imperial court decided to bring you and your competitors together to have a fair competition in the art of talisman and seal script face to face. Whoever has the strongest Talisman cultivation will become the new teacher of Longmen Academy.
"The time is set on the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.
"Although I am very confident in your talisman and seal skills, I still hope that you will be well prepared and never underestimate the enemy. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xu thought of the provocation that the Longmen Academy students had made to him and Shi Xiaohan on the Lantern Festival night, and the “gossip” that Qi Yan, the young man in white, mentioned to him, and his mind suddenly became enlightened.< br>
He understood the reason why Longmen Academy students always targeted him, and he increasingly felt that Qi Yan’s identity was extraordinary
“Master Chief, you know who my competitors are. ? ” he asked politely.
Luo Chuan replied seriously:
"Mo Li, the cousin of Dean Li of Longmen Academy, is a fifth-level monk. He began to practice Talismanism fifteen years ago and studied at Longmen Academy. It is said that he has already I know all the talisman and seal drawing methods in the book by heart;
"Shen Qiu, the concubine of the Shen family in Jinling, is a monk in the fourth realm. Although he only started learning Talisman Tao five years ago, he is extremely talented. He created a brand new Talisman Seal script in less than three years and received guidance from a national master;
“There is another The casual cultivator, named Zhao Xinran, is a fifth-level cultivator and a well-known talisman and seal master in Luojing City. She has opened a small shop for painting talismans on the outskirts of the city. It only opens one day every two weeks, and the monks will be there at that time. There is a long queue at the door of her shop, and they don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy her talismans. It is said that when she draws talismans, she draws her pen casually and does not stick to a pattern. Each talisman she draws is different and can be used at critical moments. Save a life.
“These three people are more worthy of your attention. ”
"Thank you, Sir, for informing me!"
At the same time, Gu Xu silently thought to himself: It seems that none of my competitors are soft persimmons! I don’t know whether I am stronger or weaker than them, having learned the art of talisman and seal script for less than a year.
"Gu Xiaoyou, do you have any other questions? Or do you need my help with anything?" After a brief silence, Luo Chuan asked Gu Xu with a kind smile on his face.
Gu Xu thought of the decision Shi Xiaohan made today, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master Chief, there is something about Shi Xiaohan that I don't know whether to talk about..."
< br>"Gu Xiaoyou, you can say whatever you want in front of me without any scruples," Luo Chuan interrupted with a smile, "I will try my best to fulfill your request as long as it is within my ability. ”
