Outside the countryside, just after a busy day, wash up.

Li Mu and the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness sat together, tasting the food, there were twelve dishes, and three soups, all of which were full of color and umami.

Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of stewing, don't eat if the food is not good, don't eat the food if the shape is not neat, and don't eat the food for a long time.

The last month or two has been very busy, but I haven't let go of the fineness of food at all.

There are more than 100 chefs in charge of cooking, and there are also special ones in charge of transportation, and all kinds of food are fresh and of high quality.

Not only is it delicious, but it also has a variety of flavors.

Li Mu was also amazed, this is the enjoyment of the aristocracy.

You can endure hardships and suffering, but you can't suffer losses and eat inferior food.

"Recently, the world has not been peaceful, first there was a major incident in the capital, and then there were droughts in various places, and then I heard that the prefect of Youzhou was dead, and the death was unknown, and there was smuggling in Youzhou, and the outflow of black Shengang!" Li Mu said: "The world is disturbed and chaotic!"

"Confusion?"

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness smiled, "It's a little chaotic, but it's not too chaotic." You are still too young, there are a lot of disgusting things in the world, and there is no bottom line to do things that are beyond your imagination. The world is not getting worse, it's getting worse!"

"You are still a child, you have beautiful fantasies about the world, but the world is much darker than you think, is it a big deal to kill a Zhizhou and smuggle a little Black Shengang? But in my eyes, farts don't count, it's bigger than that, it's a dark thing, there's no bottom line, and there's a lot of ...... When you realize that the world is darker than you think, you will grow up!"

"You don't think that just by dying a prefect and losing a little Black God Steel, you will be dropped here as a celestial warrior, then you are too underestimated by the role of celestials... Heaven and man are not a big deal... Only when something big happens, will the heavens and men be dispatched!"

"Big deal!" Li Mu chuckled in his heart, he still underestimated the change in the situation.

"In the eyes of the emperor, what do you think is a big deal?" asked the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness.

Li Mu was silent.

The answer is obvious!

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness said: "According to the statistics of the imperial court, there are 55 million households in the Great Zhou, of which there are about 3.2 million innate martial artists, more than 20,000 grandmaster martial artists, more than 3,000 grand grandmasters, and 133 celestial beings! Among them, the celestial and human warriors are the key monitoring targets of various forces, and the error does not exceed three people; as for the great grandmasters, there are not only as many as 3,000, but at least 5,000. As for the grandmaster, the innate and so on, the error is even greater!"

"The more you go to the bottom, the more opaque it is, but the more you go to the top, the more difficult it is to hide!"

Li Mu was silent again.

On the earth, the statistics of Chinese household registration are mainly a certain billion people, and the unit of calculation is people. But in ancient times, household statistics were mainly based on how many households, and the unit of calculation was households. And a household may be a family of three, or a family of dozens of people. In addition, there are a large number of hidden accounts, black accounts, etc., and there are quite a few of them.

A lot of data is difficult to count.

You can only rely on experience and roughly extrapolate some data.

"Thank you!"

Saying that, Li Mu said goodbye to the Northern Wilderness Marquis and left.

After a month of "grinding" on the road, Li Mu set off again.

............

The brigade departed.

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness was still eating food and did not go to say goodbye.

At their level, they don't need to deliberately care about those etiquettes, they just have etiquette.

"Master Hou, our industry has been hidden, some bad things, dark things, have been erased, and if they can't be erased, they will be compensated and solved reasonably!" At this time, a housekeeper appeared and said the latest information.

"Be exquisite!"

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness said: "Although, the death of the prefect of Youzhou has nothing to do with us, and we are not involved in the smuggling of Black God Steel. But we're not clean under our butts...... Now wipe your butt clean and don't leave the handle. Wushuang Hou is selfless, he is here, just give him a little face!"

The housekeeper said angrily: "Master Hou is also a celestial, and he is stronger than Li Mu in terms of strength and strength...... Why be afraid of him!"

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness said: "It's not about being afraid of problems, it's about being afraid of trouble." Wushuanghou is still a child, adults don't fight with children, winning against children is a loss for adults. ”

The butler said, "Yes!"

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness said: "When people live, they will eventually become the existence they hate the most...... Wushuang Hou, just like me once was. There are some things that I have so many concerns that I can't do it, and he just happens to do it. It is also good for us to have this river crossing pawn to make a move and disturb the water in Youzhou!"

............

Riding on the horse, Li Mu thought leisurely.

In this era, being an official is really easy, you don't need to be 9 to 5 in the morning, and you don't need to punch in.

Even if you take office, it's not a big problem to be a month late.

"Northern Wilderness Marquis, is there a problem?" Princess Xuewei asked curiously.

"It can be said that there is a problem, or it can be said that there is no problem!" Li Mu said: "It can be inferred that the death of the prefect of Youzhou has nothing to do with the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness, and the smuggling of Black Shengang has nothing to do with him. But his ass is not clean, so he doesn't investigate. If it's an investigation, there will be a lot of questions!"

"It can be determined that the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness knows the cause of death of the prefect of Youzhou, and he also knows about the smuggling of Black Shengang, but he has scruples and won't say it!"

can make the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness scruples, dare not speak, and remain silent, there must be a big background and a big backstage.

At night, when they stayed at the inn, everyone was about to rest, and Li Mu had just rested, when a black shadow appeared, it was Hua Wuying.

Hua Wuying is engaged in intelligence, and there are a large number of informants under him, as well as affiliated forces, all of which are made up of a large amount of intelligence.

When Li Mu led many guards to build the river dam, Hua Wuyin disappeared and went to Youzhou to collect intelligence.

"Husband, the information has been gathered!"

Hua Wuying handed over a booklet, which contained a large number of files, as well as clothing, food, housing, transportation, officials, people, martial arts, army, etc., all kinds of information, very messy, very scattered, but very meaningful.

What is the essence of intelligence?

It is not that 007 goes deep into the enemy's territory, nor does it pry the safe, or install a camera, but from the common large amount of data information, it analyzes the essence of the matter and draws some conclusions.

Just like the Daqing Oilfield, the oil painting of the iron man Wang Jinxi was published, and Japanese experts analyzed the location and output of the Daqing Oilfield from these data.

In fact, 70 percent of the information is analyzed from outside media information.

In the collection of various intelligence in a month, there are grain prices, vegetable prices, horse prices, cattle and sheep prices, as well as field yields, as well as information on Youzhou officials, as well as the number of troops, generals and other names, these data are easy to obtain, but the number is large and miscellaneous.

It's about three hundred or more pages.

Li Mu flipped through it and gradually had a clear understanding of Youzhou.

PS: The second update has arrived, and the update will continue in the evening.
