Li Mu often remembers that his hometown in this world was actually Mayi, but he always remembers it as Dingxiang. Even when he talked to Li Shimin, he was Dingxiang, which was not as good as Li Shimin. He still remembers that Li Mu's hometown was Mayi. When he was posthumously named Li Gan, he was also named Mayi.

The reason is that Li Mu lived in Mayi for too short time, and only three days were counted. The remaining memories of Li Mu before were like watching TV series performed by others. After all, it was not his own experience and he had no personal feeling.

So when Li Mu returned to Mayi City again, he didn't feel anything. He didn't feel anything when he returned home, and had a deep affection. It was already night. He had only one idea in his mind, so he quickly went to the city and had a good sleep. But he forgot that there was an unwritten rule in the border town, and when it was dark, the city gates would be closed. This was the rule left when fighting against the Turks, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the city under the cover of the night. Now that the Turks have been destroyed, the rules have been preserved, and there are still bandits nearby, which is not very stable.

Li Mu came to the city gate with joy, but was blocked and his mood suddenly became bad. But he actually knew this rule, so he did not make any unreasonable trouble and ordered the camp to deal with it for a night and go to the city again tomorrow.

No wonder this is no wonder. Li Mu came in a hurry, and Li Siwen did not have his Taoist stone, so he could not pass the letter. Until now, Li Siwen didn't know that Li Mu was coming, and the outpost he had released earlier had no notice to enter the city, so he deserved it to be blocked outside.

He figured it out and accepted it, so it was fine. But there was someone who was alarmed by the big guy.

This person is named Zhang Fa, and he is the local county magistrate. He has been an official here for a long time. He was a scholar in the imperial examination during the former Emperor Yang of Sui. In the first year of Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui was killed by Yu Wenhua and the first year when he came to Mayi from Chang'an, which was still called Daye at the time. He originally served as the county magistrate for three years. If his political achievements were still acceptable, he could be promoted to another level. No matter how bad he was, he could leave this place where he could not shit. But his luck was not good. In less than three years, chaos broke out and the Sui Dynasty was gone. Who cares about his merits?

So he was in the position of the Mayi County Magistrate, year after year, year after year. Although this was a place of four battles, his county magistrate was as stable as Mount Tai. When Li Tang took over the country, he was still the county magistrate, and now he has been a county magistrate for almost twenty years.

The ambition of the scholar-in-law of Zhang County has long been smoothed out by time. Over the years, he has seen horse bandits, Turkic cavalry, Tang Dynasty, and rebels at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He has seen everyone. He wandered among many forces. He has his own secret skills. It is simple, just obedient. If anyone calls me, I will listen to anyone, and if any master asks me, I will do whatever he wants me to do. What is loyalty? He has long forgotten that as a minister of the Sui Dynasty, the country has disappeared, and that loyalty will disappear.

He treats the people the same way. He does not blame the people, but he is not at all the pomp that the county magistrate should have. But if you say how much he is greedy, he really isn't greedy. It's not that he doesn't have this heart, but in a place like Mayi, what's the use of greed? Even if you have a cart of gold, you can't buy anything good, and it won't hurt the people's complaints.

But he is not a good official who loves the people. As a scholar in the imperial examinations of the previous dynasty, he regards himself as a high-ranking scholar. What are the people? How can he compare with me? But he is not a noble family, and he is still from a poor family. He can't even climb to a high school, otherwise he would be sent to a place like Mayi.

In short, in short, County Magistrate Zhang is a very typical person. He can be with him or without him. He can be with him or not. He can't do anything if he doesn't do good things or bad things.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will have lived his life like this. But the turning point of fate often happens in unexpected times. County Magistrate Zhang never expected that a marquis would appear in his small Mayi city!

Zhulu Hou, Li Mu!

Who is Li Mu? County Magistrate Zhang doesn't know. Although the city is small, it is divided into inner and outer cities. County Magistrate, County Magistrate, Man in Each House, and Rich and Powerful Merchants live in the inner city. There is an extra city wall in the inner city. Even if someone breaks through the outer city wall, the inner city can hold on for a while. Most people live in outer cities. If the enemy attacks, these people will die first.

Li Mu's family was so poor before that, naturally they lived in the outer city. Zhang County Magistrate is the county magistrate, how could he remember a nonsense from the outer city?

But, it would be different if this bully becomes a marquis.

Marquis, what a great official this is. If I can curry favor with you, maybe there is still hope in this life?

But he didn't know Li Mu, how could he curry favor with him? At this moment, people from the court came to know the details of the marquis. How could the magistrate Zhang know? But he was a scholar after all, and had dealt with so many forces. He knew how to deal with Shangguan. He found many Li Mu's neighbors and taught him how to say it one by one, just to confirm that Li Mu was a Mayi native. No matter whether he could curry favor with him, the marquis must be a Mayi native.

After dealing with the imperial envoy, the court sent someone to build a ancestral hall! The magistrate Zhang was doing his best and was highly appreciated by Shangguan. Then a Dingxiang County son, who was known as the marquis' brother, took advantage of his actions and was generous and generous, allowing him to take good care of the ancestral hall. He threw a large box of money, which was as much as a thousand steadiaries.

Later, when Dingxiang built a city, it became a must-pass place for merchants to travel. County Magistrate Zhang also became interested and ran to Li Siwen's place to ask for advice. Li Siwen thought about his contribution to taking care of the ancestral hall, so he asked the caravan to bring his share with him when he was in exchange for the trip. He made a lot of money from the back and forth.

Merchants are getting more and more exchanges, and there are more and more good things that can be bought by money. County Magistrate Zhang is also excited. He is almost fifty years old and has figured it out. He can't climb any further. It's better to stay in Mayi, guard this ancestral hall and this business road, save more money for his descendants. When he leaves office or dies, he asks his descendants to move to Dingxiang or Luoyang with the money to buy some land, and the fate of the next generation will be changed, so as not to fight again in these four battles, and the young and old will live a nervous life.
