In the blink of an eye, the Gaochang mission had arrived in Chang'an for ten days.

Except for the reception banquet on the first day, Li Mu never participated in any welcome ceremony or court meeting. First, he doesn't like politics and doesn't want to get involved in it, and secondly, he is too busy.

Where does the yamen come from? What kind of people do you use? The ministry has to assign a few scribes, right? What about money? It's a yamen, and the court doesn't plan to send a penny?

There is only one answer to all these questions.

No, nothing!

Now Li Mu understands why Li Shimin is so generous and even delegates the power to appoint and dismiss officials. Dare to be a shopkeeper, and he, the shopkeeper, is still the kind that doesn't pay the money!

This kind of behavior is really despicable enough, but it is exactly what Li Mu wants. He would rather exchange his own money for freedom than be controlled by someone to do something. Now is the stage of steady development, and it is only right to keep his one-third of an acre of land and do a good job of the Internal Affairs Office, which is why he does not participate in other things. The affairs of the court, in any aspect, are the territory of a certain force, and if he stretches out his hand everywhere like an octopus and provokes the anger of the people, it will be greatly detrimental to the development of the internal affairs government.

Due to the need to receive the mission, the repair project of the roadway in Chang'an City had to be postponed. As a result, the craftsmen became idle, and Li Mu sent the craftsmen to his valley to lay the foundation. The craftsmen are also willing, and they only have wages for their work, not to mention working for Li Mu. In the hearts of the craftsmen, Li Mu is like their reborn parents, even if they don't pay them, they are willing in their hearts.

The valley was officially named "Xiaoyao Valley" by Li Mu, and the word Xiaoyao was taken from the table word given to him by Li Yuan, which also met his expectations for this valley. The situation of the field investigation in the past few days made Li Mu quite happy. This valley is simply too much for his requirements.

First of all, the climate, Chang'an City's climate is dry and cold, there is little snow, but the wind is not small, blowing head-on, like a knife cutting. But in this valley, this is not the case. There are surrounding mountains as a shield, the wind cannot blow in, and the relative temperature is much higher than that of Chang'an City. Li Mu even found a spring that did not freeze, which shows that the temperature here is around zero.

At such temperatures, the permafrost is expensive and does not hinder the construction of the foundation at all.

Then there's the layout. A small river divides the valley into two halves, and at the end of the river is Ba Shui. Here, a small dock can be built, which can also be used to transport goods and save a lot of manpower. On the south side of the valley, the land is flat and suitable for farming. There is a dense forest on the north side of the valley, which can be used as a shelter, the east side is high and suitable for building houses, and the west side along the river can be used to build workshops and other facilities for easy transportation.

All in all, it's a very nice place, and it's private enough to feel like a paradise.

For this valley, Li Mu attaches great importance and seriousness. How to design it has become a difficult problem. For this reason, Li Mu pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind to build with the deputy post system as the core.

In the game "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", the development of players in the secondary system is not easier than that of normal gamers.

When you have a primary skill, you can only be apprenticed next to the NPC who teaches the skill, and slowly increase the skill level. After reaching the intermediate level, you still need to have money to open your own shop, or join a gang to 'work'. But either way, it's actually ordinary people. Real kryptonite players won't work so hard.

Krypton players will directly buy a "Gang Building Order" and a "City Building Order". Build a gang to collect people first, and then apply to establish a town station, only in this way can you really be considered the number one person in the server. The Gang's 'Righteous Hall' and the Town's 'Yamen' can be increased with the level of the gang and town. The higher the level, the higher the gang member's experience and achievements in fighting monsters. And the higher the level of the 'Yamen', the higher the proficiency rate of practicing and using the sub-class in the town. This is also the most attractive condition for the snowballing growth of the big gang, you know, whether it is a normal gamer or a side player, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to improve. At this time, a little bit of bonus becomes precious.

This is a very expensive thing, but generally speaking, after a server is opened, the first players of Krypton usually get more than they invest. This is the collective benefit that everyone is actively joining his gang. This has directly led to the fact that the early krypton gold makes money early, and the more krypton gold you make, the more you get rich. This is also the situation that game companies are most willing to see.

Before the crossing, as the deputy director and the head of the data balance group, Li Mu also contributed to this.

Now, he's going to do the same.

If you compare according to the gamers, Li Mu can now be said to be a full krypton player. So he intends to bypass the path that the side players have to go through and start directly from the apex. Xiaoyao Valley corresponds to the town in the game, the Internal Affairs Office is his 'gang', and the holy decree that Li Shimin gave him to the valley is his "City Building Order", and the "Minister in charge of the Internal Affairs Office" seal that he carved himself and got to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the record became his "Gang Building Order".

Everything is so perfect, Li Mu stood on the high slope of the east mountain of Xiaoyao Valley, looked down, watched the craftsmen clean up the weeds and dig the foundation, and suddenly came to mind the first time he came into contact with the computer fifteen years ago, the "Red Alert" game he played, the moment he clumsily manipulated the base car to unfold, from now on, this is Lao Tzu's base!

After sighing, Li Mu pointed to the platform under his feet, and said to Gongsun Kang who followed next to him: "Build a pavilion here, it's called 'Dongpo Pavilion', urge people to finish it as soon as possible, and when the spring warms up, Ben Hou will bring his wife to enjoy the scenery." ”

Gongsun Kang hurriedly wrote it down, secretly calculating the manpower in his heart.

Seeing his expression, Li Mu frowned and said, "What, is it difficult?" ”

"Uh......" Gongsun Kang lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Li Mu's eyes, and said, "There are indeed some difficulties. ”

"Say!"

Gongsun Kang stubbornly said: "The material aspect is secondary, mainly manpower. Master Hou, a few days ago, it was agreed that some craftsmen would be assigned to Yuwengui to be taken away to repair the road, and then the matter of repairing the lanes of Chang'an City was put on the agenda, and now it is necessary to take care of this side of the valley, and this manpower is really not enough. ”

"It's not enough ......" Li Mu pondered for a while, and said: "You can't stop anywhere, now that the Gaochang Mission is in Chang'an, the roadway project can be stopped for a month, this month is on this side of the valley first, manpower, I'll find a way." You just have to get the work done. ”

"Yes!" Gongsun Kang answered, and stopped talking. He didn't doubt at all that Li Mu could solve the problem, and in his impression, what Li Mu said was not yet impossible.

The two came down from the hillside, and Li Mu suddenly thought of something, and said, "When you design the house, build me a pigsty nearby." ”

"Pigs, pigsty?" Gongsun Kang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but remind carefully, and said: "Master Hou, pork stinks, it is something eaten by the poor people, Lord Hou has a noble status, how can you eat pork——"

"If you want to build it, you will build it, so much nonsense?"

Seeing Li Mu frowning, Gongsun Kang hurriedly held back his words and said, "Master Hou is angry, and the lower officials will definitely do it." As he spoke, he wrote it down in his notebook as well.

The reason why Li Mu remembered raising pigs was because of the "Dongpo Pavilion" just now, and he took this name because he remembered Su Dongpo, originally to spoof, but suddenly remembered Dongpo meat, and then remembered pig raising.

Pigs are a good thing, but in this era, few people eat them. Li Mu has deliberately studied why this is the case, and one of the main reasons is that the pork is fishy. Li Mu has tasted pork, and it is indeed fishy.

So why is this happening? By asking the pig farmer, he got the answer. It turns out that pigs are very hungry animals. Especially the boar, after it becomes an adult, in addition to eating and sleeping, the head is full of mating things. Shame is inevitable.

And why wouldn't the pork he had eaten in his previous life be like this? That's because, in the previous life, most of the pigs were slaughtered before they reached adulthood. Moreover, as long as it is a boar, when it is not too old, it will be stabbed, and after this knife, they will have no desire and no shame.

Another point is that because of the fishiness, the rich do not eat pork, but only mutton and venison. The poor, on the other hand, can rarely afford to raise pigs. People don't have enough to eat, how can there be anything for pigs to eat, so in terms of the amount of ownership, there are not as many pigs in Datang as there are cattle.

But Li Mu understands that a healthy person will lack a lot of things without meat intake. Of course, it won't be so serious to death, but the physique will not be particularly strong, the Tang Dynasty is a martial country, and Li Shimin is an ambitious monarch, and he will have to fight in the future. So how do you get fit? You can only eat more meat.

Mutton can't afford to eat, beef dare not eat, pork is fishy and less, how to solve this problem?

As the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who "cherishes the world", Li Mu is determined to start from himself. Carry out an epoch-making study - the "castration experiment".

He was going to raise a batch of pigs and work out the method of castration, so that the pork would not be fishy. The reproduction rate of pigs is much faster than that of cattle and sheep, so that it will not take a few years to increase the number of pigs when the grain production increases.

Even if it doesn't reach the point where everyone has meat to eat, at least the meat problem of the soldiers at the front can be solved, and the impact on combat power is definitely a great improvement.

Changing the world starts with me.

Li Mu got into the carriage and was still sighing, when did it start? How did I become a person with such sentiments? If everyone is like me, why shouldn't Datang be rich and strong!

"Big brother, shall we go home?"

Dugu Jiu jumped into the carriage and asked.

"No, go to the West Market!"
