There are a total of 149 people.

He barely passed half of the time he set out. Although he expected this result, it still disappointed Li Mu very much. But it was fine, after all, the registration fee was not refundable, and half of the people were eliminated, which means that tens of thousands of coins had been put into his pocket.

All qualified people were concentrated in the clearing space. Ada and A Er were distributing them barbecue, and the wine was piled up next to them and they could take it at will, but few people went to get it because they were so tired that they didn't want to move at all.

Li Mu sat on the pile of wood, looked at everyone with a smile, and encouraged: "Everyone should be happy. Look, more than 100 people have been eliminated, and your chances of choosing are twice as high. Originally, it was six to get one, but now it is three to get one. If you persist, victory will be in front of you."

Changsun rushes to the ground, spreading his thighs, and the inner side of his thighs has been worn out. This is one of the fat people's helplessness. Because they are too fat, the flesh between their legs is tightly attached, and there are two balls in the middle. How can such a fragile thing withstand the violent friction of twenty miles?

Changsun Chong could no longer feel their existence, and he secretly swore in his heart that if he became a eunuch, he would definitely not live with a knife and wiping his neck. He had no choice but to deal with Li Mu during his lifetime, and he would also pester him as a ghost after his death.

Hearing Li Mu's words of gloating, Changsun Chong was so angry that he climbed up with his arms and was about to curse, but suddenly he remembered that he was someone's apprentice. He took a deep breath and held the swear words back to his stomach, and his face turned red. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, looked at Li Mu sadly, and asked, "Master... Can I ask you something, when will we go home? You have been troubled enough, let us go back..."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Changsun Chong said what they wanted to say but dared not say, but only one person, thinking about it, was Ma Zhou.

When Li Mu heard Changsun Chong’s question, he laughed: “My good disciple, you are so naive! Go home? Enter my Xiaoyao Valley. Before you finish your studies, do you still want to go home? You have to spend the New Year here!”

"ah?!"

Everyone gasped and exclaimed in surprise. Changsun Chong didn't care about the pain, and got up and said anxiously: "You haven't said you won't let us go home! Besides, there is nothing in this valley, what do we eat and where do we live? Maybe there are wild animals, how can we fight against it? If you die here... you can't afford to take it!"

"Holding?" Li Mu said with a strange look: "Why do I have to bear it? Haven't you looked at the registration form carefully? It's already written on it. Life and death are not investigated, and you haven't read it carefully?"

Changsun shouted: "Our registration form is just a piece of white paper with your name written on it. There is no such thing as 'life and death'! Don't make trouble anymore, it's not fun!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, are you talking to the master like this?" Li Mu glared at Changsun Chong, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are against the way of a saint, and a child cannot be taught! Even if this sentence is filled in by me later, it is to teach you a lesson. When establishing a contract with others in the future, you must write it correctly. You cannot write your name casually, otherwise you will not know if you sell yourself."

Changsun Chong also took the initiative and shouted, "Who would have thought you would be so shameless! Li Mu, you are despicable!"

"Insulting the commander?" Li Mu left his face and snorted coldly: "Changsun Chong, you repeatedly contradict me, but do you regard me as your master? I know you are not convinced, but you worship me under my disciple. There is nothing you can do if you don't agree. Let me tell you one more thing. I have met my uncle, and he told me that you must educate you as a talent, and any means are used to make it. I am also entrusted by others to withdraw. Therefore, in the next arrangement, others can withdraw, but you don't want to withdraw. Also, if you dare to contradict me again, you will be whipped in one sentence, I see that you are thick-skinned and fat, and you can't die if you hit 180 whips. Otherwise, you can try it and see if I dare to slap you!"

"You..." Changsun Chong 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.

Changsun snorted, sat on the ground again, pulling the wound on the inside of his thigh, grinning in pain.

Li Mu looked at the others again and said, "You have seen enough sincerity and sincerity when you can stick to this point. So, I will tell you now, the next arrangement for this selection. I have already said before that your registration fee and the money donated by your elders will be used to build an academy, which is used to cultivate you to become talents that meet the requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"But you have also seen that this academy does not exist yet. The land under your butt is the site of the college. And you, as the first student of the college, are about to shoulder the heavy responsibility of building this academy!"

"ah?!"

Another exclaimed in unison, and everyone looked back. The mountains and forests were deep in the mountains and forests, and the remote villages were far away. Looking around, there was no one in sight. It was already pitiful to stay here. Do you still have to be a coolie?

Tang Guan's tears fell and she cried, "Brother, think twice. I have no strength to tie a chicken and can't do anything. How can I build a house? Besides, the Tang Dynasty Daily still needs me. If I am not here, who will record the major events in the court, and who will write gossip news? Brother, the Tang Dynasty Daily needs me, I will never delay the manuscript again, can't it be okay?"

"It's useless to cry!" Li Mu turned his face coldly and cut off Tang Guan's last trace of luck: "As a young man, he has no strength to tie a chicken and said, "If you don't have the strength, you can exercise! If you don't know how to craft, you can learn! I have arranged a teaching team of twenty people, including carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers, stonemasons, etc. If you don't understand anything, you can learn from them. If you can't learn, you can learn again. If you can't learn, you can eliminate them! Of course, you can also choose to eliminate them now. Remember the way you come? If you leave the valley, you will automatically eliminate them. You can leave at any time!"

"As for you!" Li Mu pointed to Tang Guan and said, "The Tang Daily does not need to worry about it. The rules have changed. The Secretariat has appointed a living servant to take over your job. I will arrange for others to write about gossip news. Before you graduate, you will die in the valley. Your fate is the same as Changsun Chong. I have visited your father. Your father said, your Tang family is prosperous, and his sons are also many, no more than you, no less than you!"

"Ah!" Tang Guan covered his heart and secretly regretted that if he had known this, it would be great if he hadn't shown off. He would have been eliminated in the previous level and would have fallen into this hell.

"From today, work from sunrise and rest from sunset. The valley is ten miles apart from east to west, and one round trip every morning, and then someone will teach you, take a lunch break at noon, and start working in the afternoon. Work at dusk, eat and sleep, and repeat until the college is completed. If fifty people are eliminated before completion, these fifty people must complete the project, otherwise there will be no graduation certificate and it will not be considered the final victory. I have already explained the rules very clearly. Now, those who withdraw can leave!"

Li Mu looked at everyone with a solemn look, and the atmosphere became heavier. Finally, someone moved, one or two stood up, said nothing, and turned around and walked towards the entrance of the valley.

Li Mu's expression did not move at all. After about a quarter of an hour, the figure had disappeared at the entrance of the valley. When there were no one left, Li Mu counted the number of people, and there were only 122 people left.

Fortunately, there are more than a hundred people.

Li Mu sighed, and there were more than a hundred people, and at least the labor force of working was guaranteed.

"Very good, at least one hundred and twenty-two people still didn't disappoint me." Li Mu stood up and said in a deep voice: "I know some of you will find it very unfair. Why do I demand you so harshly, but no one comes to ask me! Now, I'll tell you why!"

Li Mu shouted: "Because my requirements for you are less than one-tenth of what I ask of myself! You weak guys! Starting tomorrow, every afternoon, I will come here to see what it means: you can't know what I know, and I can do what you don't know! As long as you have a skill that can surpass me, you can immediately award an official position!"

Li Mu stared at everyone and said, "I never speak loudly, please wait and see!"

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Eat quickly, go get the tent after you finish eating. Before the academy is built, you must live in the tent like Turks. You have not built your own tent before dark, and you deserve it if you freeze to death!"

...

This is how it is to be an emperor, one thing after another, and there is no time to calm down.

Gaochang's problem had just been resolved, and the problem of resettling the Turkic tribe caused by sudden death was brought up. Li Shimin had not slept well for several nights and lay on the map all day long, thinking about solutions to the problem. Honglu Temple reported to the Japanese envoy for his visit, but Li Shimin was also put aside. Compared with the Turkic problem, what is Japan? It is a small place, and it is across the sea, and it can't be beaten, so no matter what it does!

In order to gather ideas, Li Shimin found Changsun Wuji, Tang Jian, Wang?, and Wei Zheng to discuss the suggestion put forward by Li Mu, namely: use the emperor to order the princes to find someone to assist Tuli's son, manage the Turkic tribe, and at the same time move the opposition from the Turkic tribe to the Central Plains to be a worker.
