In a blink of an eye, the Gaochang delegation has arrived in Chang'an for ten days.

Apart from the first day's welcome banquet, Li Mu never attended any welcome ceremony or court discussion. Firstly, he did not like politics and did not want to get involved, and secondly, he was too busy. The Office of Internal Affairs established a new one, and Li Shimin never even asked about other things except for giving an imperial edict as support.

Where does the yamen open? What kind of people should be used? The Ministry of Personnel must dispatch a few clerks? What about the money? After all, it is a yamen, and the court does not intend to pay a penny of salary?

All the questions are only one answer.

No, nothing!

Now Li Mu understood why Li Shimin was so generous that he even delegated the power of appointing and dismissing officials to him. It turned out that he wanted to be a hand-off manager, and he, as a shopkeeper, was still the kind of person who could not afford the capital!

This behavior is really despicable, but it is exactly what Li Mu thought. He would rather spend money on his own to exchange for freedom than to be controlled by others. Now it is the stage of steady development. It is the only way to keep his own land and do a good job in the Interior Affairs Office. This is also the reason why he does not participate in other things. In any aspect of the matter in the court, it is the territory of a certain force. If he stretches out his hands everywhere like an octopus and arouses public anger, it will be greatly detrimental to the development of the Interior Affairs Office.

Since we were going to receive the mission, the repair of the alley in Chang'an City was delayed. The craftsmen became idle, so Li Mu sent the craftsmen to his valley to lay the foundation. The craftsmen were all happy, and they only had wages when they worked, let alone for Li Mu. In the hearts of the craftsmen, Li Mu was like their reborn parents, even if they didn't give them wages, they were willing.

The valley was officially named "Xiaoyao Valley" by Li Mu. The word "Xiaoyao" is taken from the word "Xiaoyao" given to him by Li Yuan, which also meets his expectations for this valley. The on-site investigations these days made Li Mu quite happy. This valley is simply in line with his requirements.

First of all, the climate is dry and cold. The snow is little, but the wind is not small. It blows towards you, like a knife cutting. But this is not the case in this valley. There are surrounding mountains as a shield and the wind cannot blow in, so the relative temperature is much higher than that in Chang'an City. Li Mu even found a spring without freezing, which shows that the temperature here is around zero degrees.

At such a temperature, the permafrost layer is very expensive and does not hinder the foundation construction at all.

Then there is the layout. A small river divides the valley into two halves, and at the end of the river is the Ba River. Here, a small boat dock can be built, and it can transport goods, which can save a lot of manpower. The land on the south side of the valley is flat and suitable for farming. There are dense forests on the north side of the valley, which can be used as a cover. The terrain on the east side is high, which is suitable for building houses, along the river on the west side, workshops can be built, etc., for convenient transportation.

All in all, this is a very good place, and it is secret enough to feel a bit like a peach blossom land.

Li Mu attached great importance to and was serious about this valley. How to design it has become a difficult problem. Li Mu thought about it for a long time, but finally made up his mind to build it with the deputy system as the core.

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

When you have a primary skill, you can only be an apprentice next to the NPC that teaches skills, and slowly improve your skill level. After you reach the intermediate level, you still have to have money to open your own store or join a gang to "work". But no matter which choice you choose, you are actually ordinary people. Real krypton gold players will not work so hard.

Players with krypton gold will directly buy a "gang building order" and a "city building order". First build a gang to collect people, and then apply to establish a town resident. Only in this way can they truly be considered the number one person in the server. The gang's "Juyi Hall" and the town's "yamen" can improve with the gang and town level. The higher the level, the higher the experience bonus of gang members in the fight monsters. The higher the level of the 'yamen', the higher the proficiency of practicing and using deputy positions in the town. This is also the most attractive condition for the snowball-like growth of the gang. You must know that whether it is a normal game player or a deputy player, the higher the level, the harder it is to improve. At this time, a little bonus seems to be precious.

This is a huge cost, but generally speaking, after a server is opened, the first batch of krypton players usually gain more than investment. This is the group benefits brought by everyone joining his gang. This directly leads to making money early and making money early, and making money the more you krypton gold, the more you get richer. This is also the situation that game companies are most willing to see.

Before traveling through time, Li Mu worked hard as the deputy director and head of the data balance group.

Now, he has to do the same.

If compared with game players, Li Mu can now be said to be a complete krypton-gold player. So he planned to bypass the necessary path for deputy players and start directly from the top. The corresponding towns in the game, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is his 'gang'. The imperial edict given to him by Li Shimin was his "City Building Order", and he carved it himself and obtained the seal of the "Court Control Minister" registered by the Ministry of Personnel, which became his "Bang Building Order".

Everything was so perfect. Li Mu stood on the high slope of the East Mountain of Xiaoyao Valley, looking down, watching the craftsmen clearing weeds and digging the foundation, and suddenly the "Red Alert" game he first came into contact with the computer fifteen years ago. The moment he clumsily controlled the base car to unfold, from now on, this is my base!

After sighing, Li Mu pointed to the platform under his feet and said to Gongsun Kang who was following him: "Build a pavilion here, called the 'Dongpo Pavilion', and urge people to complete the work as soon as possible. When spring warms up, I will take my wife to enjoy the scenery."

Gongsun Kang hurriedly wrote it down and secretly thought about the manpower in his heart.

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

"Uh..." Gongsun Kang lowered his head, not daring to look into Li Mu's eyes, and said, "It's indeed a bit difficult."

"explain!"

Gongsun Kang gritted his teeth and said, "The material aspect is second, mainly manpower. The Marquis, a few days ago, agreed to take some craftsmen to Yuwengui for road construction, and then put the repair of the alleyways in Chang'an City on the agenda. Now we have to take into account the valley, and this manpower is really not enough."

"Not enough..." Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "No one can stop at any side. Now the Gaochang delegation is in Chang'an, and the alley project can be stopped for one month. This month, I will first be on the valley side. I will find a way. You can arrange the work."

"Yes!" Gongsun Kang responded and stopped talking. He had no doubt at all whether Li Mu could solve the problem. In his impression, there was no time when Li Mu said something.

When the two came down from the hillside, Li Mu suddenly thought of something and said, "When designing the house, build a pigpen nearby."

"Pig, pigpen?" Gongsun Kang was stunned and couldn't help but remind him carefully, saying, "Marquis, pork is smelly and smelly, it is something that the poor eat. Marquis has a noble status, how can he eat pork--"

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

Seeing Li Mu frowning, Gongsun Kang hurriedly put his words back and said, "Don't calm down, the marquis must do it." As he said that, he also wrote this in his notebook.

The reason why Li Mu remembered raising pigs was because of the "Dongpo Pavilion" just now. He called this name because he remembered Su Dongpo. Originally to make a spoof, he suddenly remembered Dongpo Pork again, and then remembered raising pigs.

Pigs are a good thing, but in this era, few people have eaten them. Li Mu has specially studied why this is the most important reason. The pork is fishy. Li Mu has tasted pork, but it is indeed fishy.

So why is this happening? By asking the pigs, he got the answer. It turns out that the pig animal has a very strong desire. Especially boars, when they become adults, they are mating in their heads except eating and sleeping. Fishy smell is inevitable.

Why didn't the pork he had eaten in his previous life be like this? That's because most of the pigs in his previous life were slaughtered before they were adults. Moreover, as long as they were boars, they would be stabbed when they were not much older. After this knife, they would have no desires and would not have any fishy smell.

Another point is that due to the fishy smell, rich people do not eat pork, but only eat mutton and venison. However, poor people rarely afford pigs. People don’t eat enough, so there is no food for pigs, so in terms of quantity, the number of pigs in the Tang Dynasty is not as high as cows.

But Li Mu understood that a healthy person would lack a lot of things without the intake of meat. Of course, it would not be as serious as death, but his physique would not be particularly strong. The Tang Dynasty was a martial country, and Li Shimin was also a monarch with great ambitions. He would have to fight in the future. So how to strengthen his body? He could only eat more meat.

I can’t afford to eat mutton, I dare not eat beef, and pork is fishy and savory. How to solve this problem?

As the Minister of the Interior Office who "loves the world", Li Mu is determined to start with himself and carry out an epoch-making study - the "Cast Pig Experiment".

He wanted to raise a batch of pigs and develop a method to castrate pigs, so that the pork would not be fishy. The reproduction speed of pigs should be much faster than that of cattle and sheep. In this way, in a few years, when the grain output increases, the pig ownership will increase explosively.

Even if it cannot reach the level where everyone has meat to eat, at least the meat problem of the soldiers ahead can be solved, which will definitely greatly improve the impact on combat power.

Change the world, start with me.

Li Mu got on the carriage and was still sighing, when did it start? I became a person with such sentiment? If everyone was like me, why worry about not being rich and strong in the Tang Dynasty!

"Brother, are we going home?"

Dugu Jiu jumped into the carriage and asked with a whip.
Chapter completed!
