I don’t know when the Great Zhou Dynasty could no longer hide the secrets. On the third day alone, news of the loss of Loushan County spread all over the streets.

It is inevitable that everyone cares about politics at the foot of the emperor. What's more, Loushan County is also related to the safety of the Grand Canal, and the Grand Canal is related to everyone's livelihood.

It is not yet certain whether something happened in the Grand Canal. Anyway, prices in Beijing were the first to react. The first thing that was hit was rice, flour, grain and oil, which were directly rising.

However, in the wine shops and teahouses, the most talked about is the crisis in the canal and the resignation of officers in the Beijing camp to quell the chaos, and no one paid attention to the changes in prices.

For big shots, three meals a day are never a problem. The biggest impact of rising prices is only ordinary people, and they are not allowed to go to the table at all.

Listening quietly to the high-profile discussions of his companions, Li Mu had to admit that the Great Zhou Empire was still a talented person. With his knowledge and guessing, these guys even analyzed the essence of the problem.

Unfortunately, this ability is useful when talking. It is always easy to see problems, but difficult to solve them.

Theoretically, a group of soul warriors were summoned to immediately implement the beheading tactic, and then the army quickly pushed forward, and the rebellion could be suppressed soon.

These are the three common tricks used by the Great Zhou Empire. From the founding of the country to the present, we have relied on this trick to break down all kinds of rebels, and we have achieved our current ten thousand-year foundation.

However, theory is only theory after all. Even if there is luck, the relationship between high-level warriors and immortal cultivators and the Great Zhou court is still only cooperation, not simply subordinate.

Every time these people are asked to take action, the court will pay a big price. These big men have long been separated from the world, and their casual treasures are simply unaware of them.

How to make these people work hard has long been a problem that has troubled the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty in all dynasties.

Perhaps it was because after a few glasses of wine, it stimulated the nerves that everyone was talking about became more and more biased.

"Do you know that the emperor intends to enthrone the national master and wants to invite overseas immortal masters to the court and preside over the reform affairs in the court."

Hearing this sentence, Li Mu's wine almost spurted out of his mouth. It has been a day or two since the Great Zhou Empire and the Overseas Immortal Sect were not in a row or two.

He killed someone ten thousand years ago and left his hometown, almost cutting off the sect's inheritance. It can be said that he is as deep as the sea of ​​hatred.

These guys were invited to serve as national teachers and preside over the political reforms in the court. I am afraid that as long as the emperor showed signs, the Great Zhou Empire would change to become the emperor.

No matter whether it is a royal family or a noble prince, it is impossible for him to tolerate such a thing. Even the most unfounded civil servant group will not accept a group of immortal cultivators as the boss.

Perhaps the attitude of everyone made the young man lose face. He immediately became angry and said, "I kindly used this confidential news to share with you. If I don't want to listen, what does this expression mean now?"

Seeing that the scene was about to collapse, Li Mu spoke out and said, "Brother Zhou, I don't believe you. This news is really too shocking and it will be difficult for everyone to accept it for a while.

After all, the relationship between my Great Zhou and the Overseas Immortal Sect has always been bad. Even the worshipers of several immortal cultivators in the court have been cultivated by themselves.

No one can accept the sudden inviting these people to serve as national teachers! What story behind this makes the emperor think so?"

If you are in a circle, you must have your own positioning. Even if you cannot become the core of the circle, you must show your own value.

The role Li Mu plays now is to come out at a critical moment to persuade fights, reconcile conflicts among all parties, and alleviate the embarrassing situation.

Although these guys in front of you are all very good at being low-key, they can’t stand the well-informed and have strong backend relationships!

Even if they are about to leave, they have to go out to socialize. After all, these guys may not be able to succeed, but they are definitely more than enough to fail.

If we don't coordinate in advance, if we just left, these guys are smart and find opportunities to get him back to the capital, it would be a tragedy.

As a local wealthy family in Beijing, the most important thing is the way to maintain the relationship. If you want to run for office one day, you will know which "yamen" to go to.

Always relying on the connections of the Hou Mansion is not a long-term event. After all, the family’s political resources are limited, so it is best to use less if you can.

He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all, and the young man said with anger: "It's not that despicable guy Li Fan."

Not only did he give advice to the emperor, he wanted to let us go; now he is also helping the emperor to cultivate his relationship with the overseas immortal sect.

Just now that the reform in the court is hindered, the emperor wants to add a few more allies to the reformists to strengthen their momentum.

Not only these immortal cultivators, but also those who think there will be reformists who will take sides. Next, the court will be lively!"

After rubbing his forehead, Li Mu became more and more sure that the capital could not stay any longer. Just from the few words in front of him, you can know how much hatred the protagonist has caused.

I really dare to think about it if I cultivate the overseas immortal sect! As soon as this news came out, my father would clear the portal and drive him out of the wall.

...

Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital.

Looking at the Ministry of War in his hand, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Since the imperial court's personnel appointment has been issued, it is basically confirmed.

Unexpectedly, the court indeed threw the three brothers to the south to serve, a distance of 108,000 miles from his hometown Dingyuan County.

Obviously, the guys from the Ministry of War are still smart and still have enough guard against the princes.

The three of them have the same official positions. They are expected to be appointed as the infantry captain of Hanchuan County, Liangzhou. Obviously, this is the result of the activity. It is estimated that it also means compensation.

The application of the three people to return to Guangliangzhou to work was rejected, so they naturally had to give some benefits. In addition, someone helped to speak, so they simply followed suit and packed the three people to Hanchuan County.

If it is a normal period, everyone should be wary of local officials being united and forming cliques for personal gain. The implementation of a evasion system and relatives are not allowed to be officials in the same area.

The situation is now critical, and the court's demands for local officials have also been greatly reduced.

As long as you can stabilize the local area and pay full taxes, you can form a party. Anyway, there are many parties in the court, and you are not clean, and you are embarrassed to let others be saints.

The big men of the Ministry of War would also be able to make plans and know that only by putting the three of them together would the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion be willing to invest resources.

A mere second-rate wealthy family, no matter how hard it is, they cannot swallow tens of thousands of miles away. What really needs to be feared by the court are the top princes with high-end force.

From the overall perspective, in order to stabilize the local situation as soon as possible, it is very necessary to win over these small and medium-sized princes. What's more, they even gave gifts.

...

As one of the border prefectures in the southwest of the Great Zhou Empire, Liangzhou, which is accompanied by 100,000 mountains, is famous for its large area. All of the 31 counties under its rule are giants.

Hanchuan County is no exception. According to the information given by the court, the circumference is 3,600 miles away. The circumference is not the area.

The very magical measurement method is also the data from the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No one can figure out whether there has been any changes over the years.

It is estimated that there will always be hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. As long as God knows the specific area, the territory of the core territory cannot be calculated, and it is even more unnecessary in remote prefectures and counties.

Dingkou has 3.8 million, and its land is vast and sparsely populated. Among the 31 counties in Liangzhou, Hanchuan County is still good, and its overall economic strength ranks third.

However, this is the data counted more than 9,000 years ago, and it has not changed. After so long, according to the reproduction rate of human beings, it may be more than enough to add a zero to the back.

If there were only the population of more than 9,000 years ago, the Great Zhou Empire would not be in chaos at all.

Although Liangzhou has a large territory, its economy is very average. Among the many prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liangzhou has always been in the middle and lower reaches.

There are terrain such as plateaus, mountains, river valleys, hills, basins, lakes, etc. The complexity of the terrain is beyond imagination. There has always been a saying that "eight mountains, one water and one branch of fields".

After briefly telling the information about Liangzhou, Li Dong looked at his three younger brothers and asked with a complicated look: "You three have really thought about it and are going to work in Hanchuan County?"

Shaking his head, Li Mu explained again: "Brother, you have asked this sentence seven or eight times. Since we have made a decision, we will naturally not change it.

What's more, the situation in Hanchuan County is not too bad. The basin terrain is full of rain, fertile land, and no major forces are entrenched, which is just right for us three brothers to live in.

The world is in chaos, and the first thing we need to ensure is stability. If we really stay in the heart of the empire, we will probably be swallowed up by the three brothers alone."

Investment requires consideration of the rate of return. If you can open up the situation in the heart of the empire, the returns will naturally be the highest. However, the risks associated with the returns are, and if you are not careful, you will lose all your money.

In contrast, going to Hanchuan County is a low-risk investment. Although the return rate is unclear, at least it will not lose all your money.

The southern prefectures were later developed. The Lingshan Mountains and rivers were sparse, and their cultivation resources were not as good as those of Middle Earth and Northland. The overall martial arts strength was weak.

A second-rate empire rich family like Dingyuan Hou Mansion is also a top force in Liangzhou. Just being an official in the past is not a stake in territory with local snakes, and you can gain a foothold by investing a little resources.

Seeing the other two younger brothers, who were completely headed by Li Mu, Li Dong cursed inwardly: No prospect.

The two legitimate brothers ran to follow the concubine's brother. If the news came back, he would not know how to explain to his mother.

Unfortunately, ability is not assigned by legitimate and illegitimate. The Thirteenth brother, who originally thought he was a playboy, showed an extraordinary sense of political smell. He thought that he was not capable of his ability, and Lao Qi wanted to follow him, so he could not stop him as a big brother.

No matter what, compared to Lao Jiu who is not worried, Li Mu is still a sensible and good boy. At critical moments, choosing to focus on stability will undoubtedly be reassuring.

After hesitating for a while, Li Dong said earnestly: "You are going to Hanchuan County to work this time, and the family can only support your three thousand private troops.

The clan will advance the expenses for the first two years, and all the expenses in two years will need to be solved by the three of you.

Although the rebels in Hanchuan County were not in a state of chaos, it was a practice in the Great Zhou officialdom, and the news reported by local officials may not be accurate.

In any case, Hanchuan County now has a 24-campus organization. Even if the 120,000 army is in half, there will be 60,000 troops.

So many troops have not been able to extinguish the rebellion. Don’t show off after you go there. You must not fight against the rebels easily before you understand the situation.”

Although the statement may not be correct, the idea is generally correct.

The number of "Three Thousand Private Army" is twice as high as Li Mu expected. With these seeds, it will be much easier to do something.

According to the court's regulations, the army was 5,000 in one school. Together with the three brothers, the maximum number of troops was 15,000.

If these troops can be filled with personnel and trained to the average level with a little training, their brothers will be important figures in Hanchuan County.
