Mu Qiyuan's death was very strange, Li Xin felt that there must be a reason, but he didn't dare to go to the bottom of it, this pool of water was too deep, he Li Xin was not a relative of the emperor, nor was he a descendant of a lord, if he was planted in it, he would have to peel off his skin. In fact, Li Xin himself didn't understand why the emperor was so favored to him that he let himself worship Sun Chengzong as a teacher, so that he had the identity of the emperor's junior brother, and he looked powerful and prominent on the surface.

I don't understand, I don't understand, since the incident has happened, Li Xin still has to think about the aftermath, otherwise it will be as if he forced Mu Qiyuan to death, as soon as he thinks of this, Li Xin feels like walking on thin ice, and he feels that the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the emperor is wise and resourceful.

Li Xin stated the incident to Zhu Youxiao one by one in the recital, not daring to add a little speculation and judgment, just asking Zhu Youxiao to determine the status of Mu Qiyuan's son Mu Tianbo as soon as possible, and then patiently waiting for Zhu Youxiao's decision.

After a slight interruption of these matters, Li Xin had to immediately start the work of cultivating the fields. Now that the old woman Mu is temporarily regent of the Mu Palace, Li Xin still has to go to hang his filial piety, and by the way, comfort the old woman Mu, this is not a joke, if the old woman Mu really wants to turn his face with Li Xin, Li Xin feels that he really has to leave Yunnan and find Sun Chengzong's idea again, but it will seem that he is too incompetent, and his future will be bleak.

Li Xin took the red lady into the Guogong Mansion, and the old woman Mu sent someone to greet her, watched Li Xin offer sacrifices, and then worshiped Mu Qiyuan's undead, and meticulously completed the etiquette. The old woman Mu was very satisfied with Li Xin's performance, thinking that this was a person who knew etiquette and etiquette, and she had a good impression in her heart, and it was really different from her own son, so she asked Li Xin to be invited to * talk.

After sending people away, including the red lady, the old woman Mu did not shy away from it, and directly told the cause of Mu Qiyuan's death. The old woman Mu said: "Does Governor Li think that Guogong died very suddenly, do you feel inexplicable?" ”

Li Xin replied: "Grandpa Guo died suddenly, the letter is quite sad, I hope the old woman will mourn on the old woman's Day, don't be overly sad, I hope the old woman can help the young grandson, and rejuvenate the palace." ”

Li Xin's answer was not in the slightest match for the old woman's question, which meant that I didn't dare to ask about the cause of Mu Qiyuan's death. The old woman Mu then said: "Actually, Li Dudu, this Mu Qiyuan was poisoned by myself after discussing with my family. ”

"Ahh Li Xin was taken aback, although he thought that Mu Qiyuan's death must be strange, but he never expected that it was the old woman Mu who personally did it, which poisoned his own son, how ruthless this must be.

The old woman Mu then said: "The Mu family has guarded the border on behalf of the Son of Heaven for more than 200 years, nearly 300 years, and he feels the emperor's grace and has never been afraid of any lawlessness. But since the Duke of Changzuo inherited the title of Duke of Guoguo, he does not know how to sympathize with the people, only knows that he is happy, and he has the grace of the country, and Qiyuan is even worse than his father, and he is even more unbearable, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. Especially when today's son is blessed with the world, Qiyuan does not know how to respect himself, and openly resists Li Dudu's reform strategy, if it goes on like this, it will inevitably cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction. What's more, he privately mobilized troops to besiege the Governor's Palace, what is the difference between this and rebellion, such a person is innocent of death. The old woman considered for the descendants of the Guogong Mansion, and in order to avoid the disaster of destroying the door, she had to make this decision, hoping that Governor Li would understand. ”

After listening to the old woman's narration, Li Xin was empowered like thunder, this is really a generation of heroines, but he can't boast about it, he knelt down again and said: "Old woman, you are really a generation of virtuous mothers, breaking the family for the country, making Xin deeply ashamed, it is Xin who did not do well, which made the old woman embarrassed." ”

The old woman Mu continued: "Li Dudu, you don't have to feel sorry for me, like Qiyuan, this child is also causing trouble for the Mu family if he lives, and now my only wish is to be able to raise my grandson Tianbo as an adult, and not be as ignorant as his father." Therefore, I want him to worship you as a teacher, and I hope that Li Dudu will not refuse. ”

Li Xin replied: "Thanks to the old woman's love, I don't dislike the belief and the shallowness of morality, and the faith will live up to the old woman's expectations, and I will accept it." ”

Next, the old woman asked Mu Tianbo to come over and worship Li Xin as a teacher, and the atmosphere eased a little. Then the old woman Mu asked her to take the customs seal ribbon of Yunnan and handed it over to Li Xin, which meant that the future of Mu Wangfu was linked to Li Xin at once.

After returning from King Mu's mansion, Li Xin summoned Liu Laocai and negotiated with him about the agricultural affairs that would be carried out. Liu Laocai said: "Since the problem of Mu Wangfu has been solved, and farming is not a big deal, I will immediately send people into the farmland of Mu Wangfu, it will probably take less than three days to complete all the cultivation, and I will try my best to help them cultivate the fields of the rest of the Tusi in the shortest possible time, please rest assured, there will never be any more accidents, and the small ones can be guaranteed by people." ”

The next thing is relatively simple, Mu Qiyuan, the backbone of those toasts, is dead, who else dares to fight with Liu Laocai, not to mention that Liu Laocai has made certain concessions, even if Liu Laocai asks for more money, they have to take it out quickly. Of course, Liu Laocai didn't dare to ask for more, he was also afraid that he would make things too big, and the officials would force the people to rebel, even Li Xin couldn't spare him, and Niu Jinxing might even pick his skin.

The toasters accepted Li Xin and Liu Laocai's way of reform, and not only quickly completed the farming work, but also became very interested in this thing called "iron ox", and asked Liu Laocai if this kind of "iron bull" was sold there, and if everyone could buy some, so that next year or later, they could save a lot of food. Liu Laocai is eager to sell these "iron bulls", how can he not buy them, not only to buy, but also to sell them on sale.

After all, it is the limitation of knowledge, Liu Laocai only saw the money, and Li Xin saw another point, he asked the King of Shu to send a large number of students who graduated from the Sichuan Branch of the Ming Official College from Sichuan, so that after they have been trained in driving and repairing the camel machine, a large number of them will be sent to villages and fields everywhere, carrying the instructions for the use of the camel machine in Chinese and maintenance technical manuals, teaching the use of technology hand-in-hand, and vigorously promoting Chinese and Chinese here by the way. I have to say that Li Xin's trick is very high, the toasts accepted the lesson of this labor shortage, after buying the pot camel machine, the first to learn to use it must be their children and grandchildren, and these children and grandchildren are mostly people who have received a certain cultural education, and their horizons are much broader than ordinary people, so that the ability to accept knowledge is relatively strong, which also lays a good foundation for the rapid spread of the culture of the Ming Dynasty here.

With his outstanding ability, Li Xin quickly changed the face of Yunnan and gained greater trust from Zhu Youxiao, and then Zhu Youxiao was just Li Xin to expand outward in Yunnan, and it was best to take down Burma as well, so that Daming had an outlet to the Indian Ocean.

After Li Xin received Zhu Youxiao's instructions, he asked Liu Laocai to continue to expand to the southwest with the road construction army, and then used the inextricable relationship between the Tusi to quietly expand outward, trying not to attract the attention of the Burmese Kingdom.

After the Red Lady accepted the soldiers and horses of Yunnan, she began to carry out strict training, but the number was not large, and some of the old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated, and the remaining personnel were even less, under the suggestion of Li Xin, the Red Lady selected some local mountain people, these mountain people usually live in the mountains, and they are very adaptable to the roads and climate here, and the conditions for the Red Lady to recruit soldiers are very good, and soon recruited a mountain infantry battalion of nearly 10,000 people, the Red Lady asked Zhu Youxiao to send nearly 100 students from the Military Branch of the Ming Official College, Specially to train these soldiers, on the one hand, the red lady is not a special instructor, on the other hand, Li Xin still has some scruples, afraid that he is in charge of Yunnan, and his wife is in charge of the military power to arouse jealousy, but if there are more than 100 students belonging to the Ming Military Academy, there is no such problem, these people are all non-commissioned officers who are extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, as long as there are them, any general who wants to betray the Ming Dynasty will not be able to let them carry out the order.
