"Sacrifice oneself for righteousness, and do what you want." Ma Zhou faced Li Mu's eager gaze, his adrenaline soared, and he said loudly: "Thanks to the principal's trust, Ma Zhou is willing to die." ”

"It's not that serious, here's how it ......"

Li Mu started from the beginning and told Ma Zhou about the cause and effect. Of course, he didn't mention the matter of 'potatoes', judging from the reactions of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others, he already knew that 'three thousand catties per mu' was an almost illusory number, and Ma Zhou's hearing it would only deepen his distrust, and it was completely unnecessary. As for the yield of real wax rice seeds, he also said that it was lower, only saying that the yield was higher, not saying that there were two crops a year, so that the credibility of the whole thing was higher.

Li Mu sighed and said, "I'll go and tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't believe me." It's also the excuse you just said, there is no old practice, it's too far away, it can't be managed, and there is no need to manage it. But I still think that if there is such a rice seed, even if there is only a 10% chance of being true, it is worth trying. Therefore, I forged a holy decree and asked my righteous brother to lead the team back with the Chenla mission. Mediation is fake, but access to rice seeds is real. ”

Li Mu stood with his hands in his hands, and the breeze blew the hem of his clothes, becoming more and more unfathomable: "I once said that I would like to be Your Majesty's Maxima, the people's son of the cow." But between Your Majesty and the people, I would rather do more for the people. As long as it is for the people, I, Li Mu, will not hesitate to pay any price. This time I put the lives of my whole family on the line...... Oh, I just hope that the real rice seeds, as the prince of Zhenla said, otherwise my sin will be great. ”

Ma Zhou looked at Li Mu in a daze, his eyes red. He asked himself, if he reached the status of Li Mu. As the sun is shining, the Holy Grace is long, can he still make such a risky decision. I thought about it several times, but the answer was no. Because it was completely unnecessary, Li Mu acted like a madman. If the real rice seed is true, he will at most offset the merits and demerits. But if it's false, he's going to take his life. He didn't have any reason to do so, and he didn't get any benefit. As he said, just for the people.

Such a noble sentiment, the ancient sages, that's it. Ma Zhou was moved, and said sincerely: "Principal rest assured, even if the students are sick and brainy, they must come up with a way to retrieve the rice seeds for my Datang, so that the principal can explain in front of His Majesty!" ”

"That's very good." Li Mu nodded approvingly, still not forgetting to draw a cake, and said, "When you get back the rice seeds, I will have a good reward." ”

"Thank you, Principal, for cultivating you." Ma Zhou was also not polite, and said, "If you can serve in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau-"

"We'll talk about it then." Li Mu interrupted Ma Zhou's words, thinking to himself, you are welcome. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau is the most critical department among the nine bureaus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so how can it be appointed casually? It has to be selected and chosen, picked and chosen, before the candidate can be decided. Now that the promise has gone out, what should I do if there is no place at that time, I must not easily agree.

Ma Zhou closed his mouth stupidly and cheered himself up. Such a noble person must also be a person who values love and righteousness. If you do a good job this time, when you appoint an official position in the coming day, you will inevitably have a little affection.

From this point of view, Ma Zhou is still very optimistic.

At this time, Li Chongyi's shout was heard, and the furnace and anvil were ready. Li Mu waved his hand to Ma Zhou and asked him to take care of himself, while he came to the furnace, checked it, and there was no problem, so he took off the tiger fur, wore only a short fight, moved his muscles and bones, and began to throw ore into the furnace, ready to start smelting.

Since he moved to Fengqiuhuang, Li Mu has not struck iron for a long time. When the Phoenix was built, it was only used as a store, and it was not intended to be a permanent residence, so there was no special workshop designed. And the forging is so tiring, Li Mu has not been in a hurry to rush the skill points. If it weren't for the purpose of building an axe for Li Chongyi this time, it would be very possible to delay it for another half a year.

The students and craftsmen all gathered to see how Li Mu worked. Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu didn't stop them, Li Mu often gave demonstrations to the students, and he was not afraid to watch. His craftsmanship all comes from the system, and without his tips, he basically can't learn it just by watching. If he can learn it, this person's skills will not be under Li Mu, and it will not hurt to look at it.

Li Mu first chose to build the thing is the horseshoe, this to go to the real country, the road is far away, the road is difficult to supply horses, prepare a good pair of horseshoes can reduce the loss of the horseshoes as much as possible. Moreover, the horseshoe created by Li Mu also has additional attributes, which can further improve the utilization efficiency.

The sound of clanging iron sounded, Li Mu picked up the hammer, launched the skill, and the whole person entered the state in an instant. With the blessing of the system, the landing point of each of his hammers is as if it has been precisely calculated, the strength and angle are impeccable, and the rigor is like a machine. As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. The students are not experts, but after so many days in the valley, their eyesight has still cultivated a little, and when they see Li Muxing's flowing movements, and then compare their clumsy appearance, they know the gap in their hearts.

Thinking of Li Mu's seventeen-year-old age, compared to his own age of more than twenty, he felt more and more ashamed in his heart.

And the craftsmen, especially the blacksmiths, were staring at Li Mu's movements with bright eyes. This kind of 'perfected realm' kind of iron can only be seen in the old blacksmith who has been fighting iron all his life, and the old blacksmith who has reached this realm, because of his age, many of them can no longer move the sledgehammer, and they have to rest for a while if they can't hit it a few times, how can Li Mu do it like this and not stop?

Li Mu has already entered the state, and all the information from the outside world cannot be received. At this time, the muscles and bones have been activated, and the body has also warmed up. Li Mu took off his shirt, and the well-defined muscles trembled with his iron striking movements, attracting everyone's attention more and more, locking on his eight-pack abs.

Eldest Sun Chong looked down at his stomach and sighed. Although he has lost more than forty pounds during this time, it is not worth mentioning at all compared to Li Mu's figure.

The horseshoe is only a rudimentary creation of the system, and has limited improvement in proficiency. But fortunately, the amount is large, and after 500 pieces of horseshoe are built, the proficiency has improved a lot. Li Mu took advantage of the time to drink water, glanced at the progress bar, and was only a little bit away from being upgraded. Gritting his teeth, he built another hundred pieces and prepared them to be sent to the Zhenla Mission, so as not to slow down the progress.

The penultimate horseshoe has been crafted, the proficiency is just full, and [Forging] has finally been upgraded to the advanced level. Li Mu only felt as if there was a surge of power into his body, and then several system prompts appeared in his mind.

[The player's two secondary classes are upgraded to advanced and the attribute panel is opened.] 】．

[The player's skin-making skill is upgraded to high, and the agility +10.] 】．

[The player's forging skill is upgraded to high, and the strength is +10.] 】．

[The player's two secondary classes are upgraded to advanced and a special skill is activated: imitation.] 】．

[Imitation: Special skill, collect ten elements, imitate a new skill.] 】．

Five system prompts came out at once, and it was the first time. Li Mu couldn't digest so much information for a while, and just as his physical strength was exhausted, he asked Li Chongyi to clean up the stall, wipe his sweat, and put on a tiger fur and went back to his tent.

The onlookers and students had long since dispersed, and it was already the second half of the night, and they had to work tomorrow. Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien haven't slept yet, they have been waiting for Li Mu to come back, and on the stove set up next to the tent, there is still hot food, which is reserved for him to fill his stomach.

Li Mu's physical strength has bottomed out, and he doesn't care about what he eats, so he takes it and stuffs it into his mouth. Seeing that his physical strength had risen to eighty, he slowed down, drank a sip of soup and almost choked him to death.

Bai Qiaoqiao gently patted Li Mu's back and said distressedly: "You can't do this tomorrow, you have to eat something first." Iron striking is nothing else, it is a heavy physical work, and it is always like this, and the body can't bear it. ”

Li Mu choked on the steamed bun in his mouth and said, "It's okay, it's just that I haven't struck iron for a long time, and it's just a little rusty." Chongyi's trip this time is all because of me. I, as a big brother, can't go with him, I have to do something for him to be at ease. Alright, after eating, let's go to sleep. ”

"You." Bai Qiaoqiao sighed, as if he had something to say, but he didn't say it, just shook his head and removed the leftovers that Li Mu had eaten.

Taking advantage of Bai Qiaoqiao's time to go out, Li Mu leaned into Li Zhien's ear and asked, "Why are you here, are you suspicious again?" I said that I am in the valley, so I must be in the valley, let Xiao Jiu tell you, why don't you believe it? With your little vinegar jar watching, what can I do. ”

"Master, you have wronged me." Li Zhien pouted: "This time, Madame has to come, I persuaded it, but I didn't persuade it." ”

"Ma'am?" Li Muhu asked: "Really? ”

"I can't lie to you, I don't believe you ask Madame."

"Alas," Li Mu immediately said with a moved face: "It's still that Mrs. is worried about me, worried that I won't eat or sleep well, so she came over to accompany me." A certain concubine did not have such an awareness, and even persuaded my wife not to come, which is really hateful. ”

"Huh?" Li Zhien pursed his mouth and said: "The master is biased, I said that if I want to come, I will be jealous, and the lady will come because I am worried, it is too unfair, what should I do!" ”

Li Mu stuck out his tongue and did not answer. Li Zhien was tired of sticking to him, Li Mu hugged her with his backhand, buried his head in her arms, rubbed it gently, and didn't move.

"Master?"

Li Zhien thought that Li Mu would stay with her for a while as before, but Li Mu didn't, he fell asleep. Because he was so tired, he had beaten 600 horseshoes today, which was already beyond his limit.

Snoring was everywhere.
