In the Heavens

Since the end of the county meeting, Li Mu started the internal affairs model of inaction.

Great chaos followed great rule. The war reduced a large number of people, and incidentally eliminated the most acute social contradictions.

There is no blind reform, and everything follows the old system. In just a few years, the three Li Mu brothers have won the title of Master Qingtian.

It can be seen that in this rotten era, the people's sincerity in demanding officials is very low. As long as you don't mess around, you are a good official in the eyes of the people.

If you want to do something, it's better to do nothing at all. Everyone was frightened by the toss, and they really didn't dare to expect too much.

No matter how well done it is, the people will not support it. After all, what Da Zhou implemented was the official system. As long as there is a change in the back, no amount of hard work in the front will be in vain.

For ordinary people, what everyone hopes most is to live a peaceful life for a few years.

In fact, under the feudal system, the social system of Dazhou was already very sound, and it was the people responsible for the implementation that went wrong.

Time is the best medicine. After five years of recuperation, the land of five counties has recovered.

Walking on the street, the biggest difference is that the number of small vendors has increased. Obviously, this is the result of rising private purchasing power.

After all, it is not a cruel master. Compared with the plundering and plundering of the local rich, Li Mu undoubtedly has a lot more food for thought.

Folk wealth is slowly increasing, laying the groundwork for commercial development. But it is limited to this, if you want to go further, there are many things that need to be changed.

...

Li Songsheng said without love: "Mother wrote again, urging our brothers to go back and get married!"

While speaking, he still looked at Li Mu with envy. People cannot be compared with each other, even if they are destroyed and urged to marry, the final outcome is also very different.

The three of them are young, they must have a good cultivation base, and they have also shown a certain potential in the officialdom, so they are naturally the first choice for a wealthy marriage.

In fact, there are more people staring at Li Mu. Although he is a bastard, he can't stand the cultivation base and break through the heaven and man early, and has the potential to break through the golden core.

In this world where power is paramount, fist can make up for lack of background. As long as Li Mu is willing to nod, there will be another wife with five surnames and seven sects immediately, and the family is also very happy to have another powerful in-law.

It's just that Li Mu's sentence, "If you focus on the golden elixir, you need to concentrate on cultivation." That blocked everyone's mouths.

Especially after Li Mu revealed his cultivation in a timely manner, it directly changed the family's mind. No matter how important in-laws are, they are not as important as having a Golden Core Grandmaster from one's own family.

In order to prevent him from going astray, an ancestor of Jiuzhong, a celestial being in the clan, even traveled thousands of miles from his hometown to Hanchuan, and personally came to give advice on cultivation.

Frankly speaking, Li Mu was really moved. So, relying on his solid knowledge reserves, he quickly fooled this grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa in the discussion...

The ancestor who suddenly had a feeling, stayed in the mansion and closed the door. This has been the third year, and there is still no sign of exit.

If it wasn't for the fact that he could feel the aura released by the old ancestor from time to time around the secret room, Li Mu would have doubted that something happened to the old man.

However, this is the normal life of a high-level martial artist, and retreating for two or three years at a time can only be regarded as a basic operation. Li Mu's kind of retreat for a few days, and he has to come out to breathe is a different kind.

How to practice is not important, the key is to look at the effect. In five years, Li Mu's cultivation has risen from the fifth level of heaven and man to the ninth level of heaven and man.

If this news gets out, I'm afraid he will immediately become the brightest cub in this world, and he will be hunted down endlessly.

Most of the protagonists come here in this way, either they are being hunted down, or they are on the way to be hunted down.

Everyone's ability to withstand genius is also limited. Once it exceeds the limit, it can only be destroyed.

In fact, the family had long wanted to call Li Mu back. It's just that he rejected it on the grounds that accumulating breakthrough resources requires experience.

Fortunately, there are many marriages among the world's rich and powerful families, and the top game circle follows a specific set of game rules, which naturally reject assassination methods.

In addition, there were not many enemies in the Dingyuanhou's Mansion, and Li Mu acted low-key enough that he didn't give anyone a chance to take advantage of it, so he passed these years safely.

"If you want to go back, go back. If you don't want to go back, stay. You can just make up the reason. It doesn't matter if the wedding is a few years earlier or later!"

Typically standing up and saying that my back hurts.

Marquis Dingyuan has a lot of sons, the youngest is still breastfeeding, and the sons can't even be hugged, so naturally he is not in a hurry to hug his grandson.

But Mrs. Hou Fu couldn't do it. As a mother, she had to care about her son's lifelong affairs.

Especially for these two uneasy sons, they ran to hang out with the younger brothers without any future, which made her feel very embarrassed.

It's just that brotherhood is the foundation of a big family's survival. The Marquis, who was born in the royal family, naturally knew that there was no way to bring this kind of matter to the public, and she couldn't even persuade her two sons to leave directly.

Prompting marriage is undoubtedly a good solution. It just so happened that the five-year term of office was about to expire, and it was time to change positions.

At this time, once Li Song and Li Liang go back to get married, they will probably change their jobs. It is impossible for the imperial court to allow the three brothers to serve in one place for a long time. This is a matter of principle.

Rolling his eyes, Li Song said angrily: "Thirteenth brother, you just have to laugh! Brother, I was forced to go back to marry a wife and have children, how long can you delay?

Unless you break through the golden core immediately, no one can control you. Otherwise, you will still have to take this step in a few years. After all, there are not a few wealthy families who are staring at them. "

Time can change people the most. After five years of tempering, Li Song has matured a lot, and he is no longer the brazen kid who acted recklessly back then.

The children of a wealthy family enjoy the benefits brought by the family, but they also need to bear corresponding responsibilities, and marriage is a part of it.

The masters who use the banner of love and freedom are all selfish people. Just want to enjoy the benefits, do not want to take responsibility.

It is not impossible to have freedom and love. As long as you have enough strength and can fulfill your family obligations in other aspects, it is also flexible.

For example, Li Mu now, as long as he can break through the golden core. Normally, you don't need to worry about anything, you just need to stand on the platform at critical moments.

The influence brought by Jindan fighters is the biggest return to the family, and naturally no one will ask for marriage.

"I don't need to worry about that, the ancestor has spoken. I will leave the last twenty years to concentrate on my cultivation, and all other things will be postponed.

It's only been two years. It has not been eighteen years since I came into contact with cultivation. Do you think that after eighteen years, I will not be able to break through the golden core? "

Bickering, Li Mu never lost. No one knows better than himself the situation of his own cultivation.

Not to mention that eighteen years later, he could try to break through the golden core a few months ago. It's just that the road of cultivation should not only go fast, but also go steadily.

It is impossible to go. After planning for such a long time, how could it be possible to discard the results obtained in vain?

In the past few years, Dazhou has been quite chaotic. There are more than a dozen rebels across states and even counties. The imperial court's counter-insurgency army has long been exhausted.

The situation in Liangzhou was on the verge of collapse. More than three-quarters of the county government had been breached, and more than half of the territory fell into the hands of the rebels.

The situation in Hanchuan is not much better. Except for the five counties controlled by their three brothers, which are still peaceful, other areas are full of bandits and bandits.

As long as someone raises their arms and shouts, it will not be far from the discoloration of the mountains and rivers.

Liangzhou was in danger, and the imperial court was also preoccupied.

Once Hanchuan City falls, who else can come out to clean up the mess besides the three brothers?

Many things, once the established facts are created, will work easily later.

Anyway, there are not only one or two warlords in Dazhou. As long as there is a fig leaf, North Korean and Chinese officials can pretend not to see it.

In contrast, their plan to drive away tigers and wolves can still be regarded as giving the court face, far better than those aristocratic families who directly emptied the court and knew the rules.

No one knows how the future situation will develop. For a big family, it is not wrong to prepare one more way out.

If they really want to control Hanchuan County, even if their brothers want to give up, the family will not agree.

With such a large initial investment, it is unacceptable for anyone to give up when the time comes to pick the fruit.

"The big branch of the tree, the big branch of the clan."

After thousands of years of reproduction, there are also a large number of children in the near and far branches of the Hou Mansion, and the internal competition is equally fierce.

If there is an extra county, wouldn't it be better to move some of the children here and open a small sect?

In fact, the Dingyuan Hou Mansion was separated from the Li family in Suizhou more than 3,000 years ago. If you really start from scratch, how can you become a prince all the way in the class-solidified Great Zhou?

Seeing the two younger brothers bickering, Li Liang shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't learn this way of getting along.

"Stop fighting, you two!"

"Now let's get down to business. It's time to start the Hanchuan incident. The various forces in the county have not been so peaceful recently, and they all want to come over and share the meat.

I'm almost overwhelmed. If it is not activated again, things will be troublesome after the imperial court's order comes down. "

They have not spent the past five years in vain. Not only have they replenished the troops of the three schools under their command, but they have also filled up the county soldiers.

In order to legally expand the army, the three even added 2,000 people to each county in the name of recruiting yamen servants and helping others.

Hanchuan is not a joke. Now the military force in the hands of the three has surpassed the county government office, and the total force has directly broken through the 40,000 mark.

Fortunately, the administrative division of Dazhou is large enough. Hanchuan County is equivalent to a large province of Ming Dynasty, and a county below is also equivalent to a prefecture.

The land of five counties has a total population of over 7.5 million. Otherwise, they really can't afford to support so many soldiers.

Is there any reason to give the armed forces that have been built so hard to others?

Perhaps aware of this, the local forces in Hanchuan took action one after another, not wanting the three Li Mu brothers to take all the troops away.

That's right, these guys thought that Li Mu and the others were going to leave with troops.

After all, some time ago, Liangzhou Mu had thrown an olive branch to them and made a direct promise: as long as they were willing to lead troops to fight the rebellion, the governor and the county lieutenant would be easy to talk about, and even the county guard could recommend them.

As long as he has made military achievements, coupled with the recommendation of local officials, and the operation of the Houfu's personal connections, it is not hopeless to directly enter the position of county guard.

Compared with the bright future, there is absolutely no reason to stay in Hanchuan. It's a pity that this is a troubled time, and Da Zhou's official hat is not as valuable as before.

Li Mu said calmly: "Sixth brother, don't be so anxious. If the family in the county wants to take over the property we left behind, they have to show their sincerity, right? Talk to them slowly first.

The imperial court's transfer order has come down, and all three of us have been promoted to one level, and we plan to be appointed as county captains of the three places.

It is estimated that it will not be long before they will reach the county. It is also a felony to sit back and watch the county government fall. We don't need to leave a stain on ourselves.

Anyway, as long as the county issues the document, we no longer need to be responsible for the safety of Hanchuan. It would not be too late to launch the plan after retiring from the post of school lieutenant legally. "
