West City, Chu Mansion.
Since Chu Ming moved in this morning, many nobles and merchants have been sending congratulatory gifts one after another.
His promotion to Imperial Scholar was not deliberately publicized, but these visiting dignitaries and noblemen were obviously well-informed.
The position of Imperial Scholar is merely a Senior Eighth Grade, a significant official rank in Baiyuan County, but not very prominent in a county city like Xirong County.
However, the duties of an Imperial Scholar are quite special, involving the management of books, compilation of exam questions for county trials, inaugural examinations, etc.
Many of those who came with gifts were targeting the power of compiling questions for the county trial and inaugural examinations; their intentions can be easily inferred.
