Chapter 399: Encampment
It was one hundred and forty-nine in all.
barely more than half of the departure, for this result, although expected, it still made Li Mu very disappointed. But it's okay, after all, the registration fee is non-refundable, and half of the people have been eliminated, which means that tens of thousands of people have been put into their pockets.
All the qualified people were concentrated in the clearing. Ah Da and Ah Er were handing out barbecue meat to them, and the wine was piled up next to them, taking it at will, but few people took it, because they were too tired to move at all.
Li Mu sat on the pile of wood, looked at everyone with a smile, and encouraged: "Everyone should be happy, you see, more than a hundred people have been eliminated, and your chances of winning have doubled." Originally, it was one out of six, but now it's one out of three. Hold on and win. β
Changsun Chong lay on the ground, split his two thighs, his inner thighs have worn out the skin, this is one of the helplessness of the fat man, due to being too fat, the meat between the legs is close, and there are two eggs in the middle, such a fragile thing, how can it withstand the violent friction of twenty miles away?
Changsun Chong couldn't feel their existence anymore, and secretly swore in his heart that if he became a eunuch, he would definitely wipe his neck with a knife and not live. There was no way to take Li Mu before he was alive, and he had to haunt him when he turned into a ghost after death
Hearing Li Mu's gloating words, Changsun Chong was really angry, he got up with his arms on his lean, and just wanted to scold, when he suddenly remembered that he was someone else's apprentice, took a deep breath and suffocated the dirty words back into his stomach, and his face turned red. Raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, he looked at Li Mu sadly and asked, "Master...... Can I ask you one thing, when will we be able to go home, you've had enough tossing, let us go back......"
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Changsun Chong said what they wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and there was only one person, thoughtful, and this person was Ma Zhou.
When Li Mu heard Changsun Chong's question, he laughed: "My good apprentice, you are really naΓ―ve!" Go home? After entering my Runaway Valley, you still want to go home before you finish your studies? I have to spend the whole year here! β
"Huh?!"
Everyone gasped and exclaimed. The eldest grandson Chong couldn't care about the pain, got up and said urgently: "You didn't say that you wouldn't let us go home!" Besides, there is nothing in this valley, what do we eat, where do we live? There may be wild beasts, how can we survive it, if we die here...... You can't afford it! β
"Treat?" Li Mu said with a strange face: "Why should I bear it?" Didn't you look carefully at the registration form? It has been written above, life and death are not investigated, and you haven't looked carefully? β
The eldest grandson shouted: "Our registration form is just a blank piece of paper with your name written on it, how can there be any 'life and death'!" Don't make a fuss, it's not fun! β
"Tut-tut, did you talk to Master like that?" Li Mu glared at Changsun Chong angrily, pointed at his nose and scolded: "You are against the way of the saint again, and you can't teach the son!" Even if this sentence was filled in later, it is also to teach you a lesson, when you make a contract with someone in the future, you must see what you are writing, and you can't just write your name on it, otherwise you won't know if you sell yourself. β

The eldest grandson Chong also let go and shouted, "Who would have thought that you would be so shameless! Li Mu, you are despicable! β
"Insulting the division commander?" Li Mu's face fell, and he snorted coldly: "Eldest Sun Chong, you have repeatedly contradicted me, do you regard me as your master?" I know you're not convinced, but you worship under my door, and you can't help it. Let me tell you one more thing, I have met Uncle Guo, and he said to me, you must be educated to become a talent, and any means will make it. I am also entrusted by others, and I am loyal to others. So, the next arrangement, others can withdraw, you don't want to quit. Also, if you dare to contradict me again, ten lashes in a word, I see that you have rough skin and thick flesh, and you can't die with one hundred and eighty whips, or you can try it and see if I dare to whip you! β
"You ......" The eldest grandson was so angry that his temples were about to explode, but he didn't dare to say anything, because there was a voice in his heart telling him that he couldn't try, he really dared.
The eldest grandson snorted, plopped and sat on the ground again, pulling the wound on the inner thigh, grinning in pain.
Li Mu looked at the others again and said, "You have been able to persist to this point, which has made me see enough sincerity and sincerity. So, I will now tell you about the next arrangement for this selection. As I said before, your application fee, as well as the money donated by your elders, will be used to build an academy that will be used to train you to become talents who meet the requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. β
"But as you can see, this academy doesn't exist yet. The piece of land under your ass is the location of the college. And you, as the first students of the Academy, are about to take on the responsibility of building this Academy! β
"Huh?!"
There was another exclamation in unison, and everyone looked back. Deep in the mountains and old forests, in the poor countryside, as far as the eye can see, there is no half of the figure, it is already pitiful to stay here, do you still want to be a coolie?
Tang Guan's tears fell, and he cried: "Big brother, think twice." Little brother, I don't have the power to tie the chicken, I don't know any skills, how can I build a house? Besides, Datang Daily still needs me, if I'm not there, who will record the major events in the court, who will write the lace news, brother, Datang Daily needs me, I won't delay the manuscript anymore?"
"It's no use crying!" Li Mu made a cold face and cut off Tang Guan's last bit of luck: "As a young man, you still have the face to say without the power of a chicken?" If you don't have the strength, you can exercise! If you don't know how to trade, you can learn! I have arranged a teaching team of 20 people, carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers, stonemasons, etc., if you don't understand something, you can learn from them, if you can't learn it, you can learn it again, and if you can't learn it, you will be eliminated! Of course, you can also choose to eliminate it now, and remember the way you came, right? Out of the valley, automatic elimination, you can go at any time! β
"As for you!" Li Mu pointed at Tang Guan and said, "Datang Daily doesn't need you to worry about it, the rules have changed, and Zhongshu Province has appointed a resident to take over your work." Lace news and the like, I'll arrange for someone else to write it. Before you finish your business, you will die in the valley. Your fate is the same as that of the eldest grandson Chong, I have already visited your father, your father said, your Tang family Ding is prosperous, and he has many sons, no more than you, no less than you! β
"Ahh Tang Guan covered his heart and secretly regretted it, he knew that this was the case, how good it would be if he didn't do it, and he would be eliminated in the last level, or he would fall into this hell

among them.
"From this day onwards, every day we will work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The valley is ten miles away from east to west, and every morning there is a round trip, and then someone will teach you, and you will have a lunch break at noon, and you will start working in the afternoon. Finish work at dusk, eat and sleep, and repeat until the academy is completed. If the remaining 50 people are eliminated before the completion of the project, these 50 people must also complete the project, otherwise there is no graduation certificate, and it will not be considered the final victory. I've made the rules very clear, and now, those who quit can go! β
Li Mu looked solemn, looking at everyone, and the atmosphere became heavy. Finally, someone moved, and one by two stood up, without saying anything, and turned and walked towards Taniguchi.
Li Mu's expression didn't move at all, and after about a quarter of an hour, the figure had disappeared at the mouth of the valley, and there was no one left to move. Li Mu counted the number of people, and there were only one hundred and twenty-two people left.
Fortunately, there are still more than 100 people.
Li Muchang sighed, there are more than 100 people, at least the labor force to work can be guaranteed.
"Very well, at least one hundred and twenty-two others did not disappoint me." Li Mu stood up and said in a deep voice: "I know that some of you will feel very unfair, why do I demand you so strictly, but no one comes to demand me!" Now, let me tell you why! β
Li Mu said loudly: "Because my requirements for you are less than one-tenth of what I ask of myself!" You weak chickens! From tomorrow onwards, every afternoon, I will come here to show you what it means: you will not know what I will, and I will do what you will not know! As long as you have a skill that can surpass me, you can be awarded an official position immediately! β
Li Mu stared at everyone and said, "Ben Hou never says big things, please wait and see!" β
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Hurry up and eat, go and get the tent when you are done, until the academy is not built, you will live in the tent like the Turks." I didn't finish setting up my tent before dark, and I deserved to freeze to death! β
β¦β¦
Being an emperor is like this, one thing after another, and there is never a time to stop.
As soon as the problem of Gaochang was resolved, the problem of resettlement of Turkic tribes caused by the violent death of the Turks took over. Li Shimin hadn't slept well for several nights, lying on the map all day, thinking about a solution to the problem. Honglu Temple reported to the envoys of the Japanese State to ask for a meeting, but they were also put aside by Li Shimin. What is the Wa state compared to the Turkic problem? The land of projectiles is across the sea, and the eight poles can't hit it, no matter what it does!
In order to brainstorm, Li Shimin called the eldest grandson Wuji, Tang Jian, Wang Jing, and Wei Zheng to discuss Li Mu's proposal, that is, to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, find a person to assist the son of the Turks, manage the Turkic tribes, and at the same time move the opposition from the Turkic tribes into the Central Plains to work as workers.
Li Shimin is not like the eldest grandson Wuji, he bluntly said that this suggestion was made by Li Mu and did not hide it. He also believed that his assistants would not deny the suggestion for no reason just because it was made by Li Mu. On major national affairs, the forces of all parties have so far been able to be selfless. And Li Shimin is not a dumb emperor without ideas, if anyone hides his selfishness, he can also detect it.
