The peaceful days always pass quickly, and another year comes in a flash. With the ability to paddle and play Tai Chi, Li Mu was doing well among the imperial guards.

If this situation continues, it is estimated that if you stay in a few more years, you will get a position as a captain.

Compared to the smooth progress in the officialdom, the breakthrough in cultivation is undoubtedly more gratifying. Relying on past accumulation and hard work, Li Mu's cultivation has been improved to the third level of the Heavenly Man.

The days in the Imperial Guard were not in vain. Here, Li Mu collected a lot of information that he had not been able to access in the past, and his understanding of the world was further improved.

The more you know, the more you can understand your insignificance. According to the information Li Mu knew, there were at least a dozen Jindan masters in the capital, and even three experts who were suspected of being the primordial warriors.

This is just an open and no one can understand how many masters are hidden in secret. Anyway, Li Mu is sure that there are definitely hidden masters in the Great Zhou court.

As for the celestial warriors who are the backbone, they started in three figures. Almost every wealthy family in the imperial capital has them, and anyone with the title of general in the court starts in the celestial beings.

The number of innate warriors down further is even more impossible to count. For example, the famous Demon Suppression Division, the soldiers inside all started innately.

Of course, such a special department needs to deal with the devil, and it is really not good if the cultivation level is low.

...

"Check out the property of monks and temples in the capital! My lieutenant, your mind is not filled with water, right?"

As soon as he entered the house, he heard his colleagues beating his boss, and Li Mu was no longer surprised.

In other yamen, if you talk to your superiors like this, just prepare to put on the bed and go home! However, this scene happens almost every day in the Great Zhou imperial guards, where nobles gather together.

Those who dare to do this are all the backstage masters. If it weren't for the reform of the Great Zhou emperor, the relationship between superiors and subordinates would have to be reversed.

There are a group of old men under their command, and it is not easy to be the leader. In the past three years, the imperial guards of the Great Zhou have changed five commanders.

The boss can be angry, and it is nothing to spray his boss at all. If he hadn't been able to beat him, Li Mu would probably have performed a full martial arts campaign.

Compared with these rebellious guys, the old fried dough sticks under your hands are not unacceptable. Anyway, as long as you don’t do things, nothing will happen.

When he saw Li Mu coming in, he slammed the table and stared at the fat man and shouted, "Brother Li, you are here just in time. Our lieutenant, ask us to check the monk temple property. Do you think he has a brain disease?"

Those who dare to build temples in the capital have no simple products. They are either branches of several major Buddhist sects, or they are the ancestral temples of wealthy families in the capital.

This kind of hot potato is purely unlucky. If you want to investigate the property of monks and temples, it was almost the same in the early years of the founding of the country. Now, unless the court can make up its mind to solve the forces behind these monks and temples.

After bowing to his boss, Li Mu still chose to stand with his colleagues and said coldly: "Sir, the monk temples near the capital are all very famous. It will move your whole body with one move. Why do you need to touch this brow?"

The middle-aged captain, who was sprayed one after another, was full of anger and had no place to make a comeback, said with a bitter look: "Do you think I'm willing to touch this hot potato?"

If the emperor had not issued an imperial edict and ordered the imperial guards to investigate the industry of monks and temples in the capital, I would have been troubled if I was full!

No matter how troubles a person from the reformists are, the Duke of the State can't let the emperor take back his life. What can I do?

Just now, when the military was discussed, the Duke of Tang assigned us a task. All officers of the 36th Imperial Guards must participate. Violators will be killed immediately!

Anyway, the trouble has come, no one can escape. If you have any objections, please look for the Duke of the State to go. If you don’t agree, you can report to the emperor.”

After a brief conversation, Li Mu already understood what was going on. Investigating the monk temple property is just the beginning, and the real purpose of the reformist faction should be to investigate the merger of land property.

It cannot be said that it is wrong. If you want to save the Great Zhou Empire, you must take this step sooner or later. If you do not solve the land problem, rebellions in various places will never stop.

However, this road was blocked thousands of years ago. Vested interest groups are unwilling to give up their interests, so there is no way to start reforming.

If the Imperial Guards investigate, it is nothing more than that the Imperial Guards have many noble children and have enough risk resistance.

Unfortunately, although most of the people in the noble group wanted to save the Great Zhou Empire, because of interests, there were very few people who were willing to stand on the side of the reformists.

If they want them to charge and fight with conservatives, they are purely dreaming. If they can not retreat or oppose reform, they are all good nobles.

After looking at the confused people, Li Mu rubbed his forehead and said, "Sir, I will not interfere with the major affairs in the court. I just need to investigate the property of monks and temples.

I think it might as well wait and see what my colleagues do first, learn from their experience, and then decide what to do next."

When the sky falls, the tall man takes the lead. As a professional "Tai Chi master", Li Mu is professional.

No matter so many, let’s fool the unlucky lieutenant first. If the superiors don’t pursue the matter, it’s fine. If the person is held accountable, then it’s even unlucky.

The middle-aged captain frowned and said with a cautious look: "Li Qianhu, this is the reason. But the superiors issued a deadly order. Today, all the staff must be dispatched and even the tasks have been assigned.

We are lucky. We are responsible for inspecting the monk temples and temples in Changle County and the monk temples in the city. That is really unlucky.

You have scolded and made trouble, and you are almost angry. Now it’s time to do things.

No one is outsider, and they have their own relationships, and now they are all used. I don’t ask for a great result, at least there must be an explanation that can be explained to the above.

Don’t think about taking advantage of the troubled waters. No matter who is cheating on you this time, your name will appear in front of the emperor. What will happen next, you can think about it yourself!

Give you an hour to gather people and set off on time in an hour. If you feel your neck is hard, you can choose to refuse."

After saying that, he did not give everyone a chance to refuse. The middle-aged captain decisively left, leaving Li Mu and others with big eyes.

Zhou Qianhu, the oldest, shouted: "The person surnamed Feng, this is his brain! He forced us to check the property of monks and temples. Isn't he afraid of offending people and losing his post?"

After glanced at the old guy, Li Mu said angrily: "If you offend someone, you may lose your post, but if you don't do it, you will have to be the leader of the person. How do you choose this?"

No joke, the emperor could not control the wealthy families in the world, but it was easy to deal with a few disobedient officers.

Emperor Zhou is not a weak emperor who is powerless. He is the most powerful master in the world in the open, so how can he be easy to mess with?

If you fail to fool your immediate boss, you can only fool your colleagues. Although the law does not blame the public is unscientific, it is really useful.

As long as everyone stands together, even if they really offend others, they can still withstand it. To put it bluntly, they are just ordered to do things, and people are in the officialdom.

As long as you don’t do things at all, you will have room for maneuver. At worst, you can push the responsibility to the top.

...

After assembling the troops, counting and confirming them. Looking at the hundreds of soldiers in front of him, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, finally having a bit of the airs of elite soldiers.

The nominal Thousand Household Office is actually only 530 people. Except for a few officers, the soldiers are directly vacant.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou Empire, this is already very conscientious. Just a little short of reaching the standard of 60% elite.

There is no problem. Any army that receives no more than 40% of its empty salary is a perfect elite force. Only the troops that the court focuses on can do it.

The military deficit was so serious that there was no one in the same amount as Li Mu, and it was not his empty salary. The core reason for all this was still the common problem of financial scarcity and serious corruption in the late dynasty.

The situation of the imperial guards is pretty good. As a troops stationed in Beijing, there are a group of noble children in it. They are quite affordable in the court and can basically get 70% or 80% of the salary.

Since ancient times, there has been no equal share of military pay. No matter how large the amount of the shortage is, the number of officers is a lot. As a last resort, the number of soldiers can only be reduced.

Compared with the central army's vacancies, almost all the troops of the princes in various places are full, and even many are over-equipped.

If the Great Zhou had not protected the national fortune, everyone would have been on the same boat, and it would have been a long time since the princes would have not bought the court's accounts.

"What are you going to do when you gather your troops in such a hurry?"

He glared at the person, and Li Mu scolded sternly: "Don't ask me for a blind eye. Anyway, the lieutenant will ask you to do whatever you want. Just don't make trouble for me."

To be honest, it is impossible. If they really tell the truth, it is an unknown whether they can gather people together.

Senior officers are afraid of pursuing responsibility, but lower-level officers and soldiers are not afraid. No matter how much the board falls, they will not be able to hit them.

The unlucky one is the main general. Even the soldiers can't control them. How can such a waste lead troops to fight?
