Outside in the countryside, I just washed up after a busy day.
Li Mu and Beihuang Hou sat together and tasted the food. There were twelve dishes and three soups, all delicious and delicious.
Don’t get tired of eating, don’t get tired of cooking, don’t eat if the food isn’t good, don’t eat if the food is out of shape, don’t eat if it takes a long time.
I have been very busy in the past month or two, but I have not given up on the fine details of food at all.
There are more than 100 chefs who are responsible for cooking, and they are also responsible for transportation. All kinds of food are fresh and of high quality.
Not only is it delicious, but it also comes in a variety of varieties.
Li Mu was also amazed, this is what nobles enjoy.
You can endure hardship and suffering, but you cannot suffer losses or eat inferior food.
"The world has not been peaceful recently. First, there was a big event in the capital, and then there were droughts in various places. Then we heard that the governor of Youzhou died, and his death was unknown. There was smuggling in Youzhou, and the outflow of black Kobelco!" Li Mu said: "
The world is in turmoil and chaos!"
"Confusion?"
Beihuang Hou smiled and said, "It's a bit chaotic, but it's not too chaotic. You are still too young. There are many disgusting things in the world, and there is no bottom line for what you do. It is beyond your imagination. The world is not getting worse, but getting worse.
Oops!"
"You are still a child and have beautiful illusions about the world, but the world is much darker than you think. Is it a big deal to kill a prefect and smuggle some black Kobelco? In your opinion, it is a big deal. But in my eyes, it is a big deal.
, not to mention shit, there are bigger things than this, dark things, bottom-line things, and there are many more... When you realize that the world is darker than you think, you have grown up!"
"You don't think that just because a prefect died and a little black Kobelco was lost, you, a warrior of heaven and humanity, fell here. Then you underestimate the role of heaven and humanity... Heaven and humanity cannot be used unless it is a big matter... Only
Only when something big happens will the gods take action!"
"Big deal!" Li Mu's heart skipped a beat, but he still underestimated the changes in the situation.
"In the eyes of the emperor, what do you think is a big deal?" Beihuang Hou asked.
Li Mu fell silent.
The answer is obvious!
Beihuang Hou said: "According to imperial statistics, there are 55 million households in the Great Zhou Dynasty, among which there are approximately 3.2 million innate warriors, more than 20,000 grandmaster warriors, more than 3,000 great masters, and one hundred heavenly beings."
Thirty-three people! Among them, the heavenly and human warriors are the key monitoring targets of each force, and the error is no more than three; as for the great masters, there are not only three thousand, but at least five thousand. As for the grand masters, Xiantian, etc., the error is even greater!"
"The further you get to the bottom, the more opaque it becomes, but the higher you get to the top, the harder it is to hide!"
Li Mu was silent again.
On earth, Chinese household registration statistics mainly refer to the population of a certain billion, and the calculation unit is a person. But in ancient times, household registration statistics mainly refer to the number of households, and the calculation unit is a household. And a household may have three people, or it may be
There are dozens of people in one household. In addition, there are also a large number of hidden household registrations, black households, etc. There are also a lot of them.
A lot of data is difficult to count.
We can only rely on experience and roughly estimate some data.
"Thank you!"
With that said, Li Mu said goodbye to Beihuang Hou and left.
After a month of "drifting" on the road, Li Mu set out again.
…………
The large group of people left.
Beihuang Hou was still eating food and did not go to say goodbye.
At their level, they no longer need to pay attention to etiquette, they just follow the etiquette.
"Master Marquis, our property has been hidden. Some bad things and dark things have been erased. If they can't be erased, they will be compensated and dealt with reasonably!" At this time, a butler appeared and spoke of the latest information.
“Be more refined!”
Beihuang Hou said: "Although, the death of the governor of Youzhou has nothing to do with us, and we were not involved in the smuggling of black Kobelco. But our butts are not clean either... Now we must wipe our butts clean and don't leave any clues. Wushuang Hou is selfless and unselfish.
, he’s here, just give him some face!”
The housekeeper said angrily: "Master Hou is also a heavenly being. He is stronger and more powerful than Li Mu... Why should you be afraid of him!"
Beihuanghou said: "This is not about fear of problems, but fear of trouble. Wushuanghou is still a child. Adults should not fight with children. If you win against a child, you will lose for the adults."
The steward said: "Yes!"
Beihuanghou said: "When a person lives, he will eventually become the existence he hates the most... Wushuanghou, it's like me in the past. There are some things that I have too many worries to do, but he happens to do them. With this soldier across the river taking action,
Disturbing the Youzhou water is also good for us!"
…………
Riding on the horse, Li Mu thought leisurely.
In this era, being an official is really easy. There is no need to work from 9 to 5 or clock in.
Even if he takes office a month late, it won't be a big problem.
"Marquis Beihuang, do you have any questions?" Princess Xuewei asked curiously.
"You can say there is a problem, or you can say there is no problem!" Li Mu said: "It can be inferred that the death of the governor of Youzhou has nothing to do with Beihuang Hou; and the smuggling of black Kobelco has nothing to do with him. But his butt is not clean either.
, it’s okay if we don’t investigate. If we investigate, there will be many problems!”
"It is certain that Beihuang Hou knows the cause of the death of the Youzhou magistrate and the black Kobelco smuggling issue, but he has scruples and will not say anything!"
To make the Marquis of Beihuang scruple, dare not speak, and remain silent, there must be a big background and a big backstage.
At night, after staying at the inn, everyone was about to rest. Just as Li Mu was resting, a black shadow appeared, which was Hua Wuying.
Hua Wuying is engaged in intelligence. He has a large number of informants and affiliated forces, all of which rely on a large amount of intelligence.
When Li Mu led many guards to build the river dam, Hua Wuying disappeared and went to Youzhou to collect intelligence.
"Husband, the information has been gathered!"
Hua Wuying handed over a booklet with a large number of files on it, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, officials, people, martial arts, the army, etc. All kinds of information was very messy and scattered, but it was very meaningful.
What is the nature of intelligence?
It's not that 007 goes deep into enemy territory, nor does he pry into safes, or install cameras. It's about analyzing the essence of things and drawing some conclusions from a large amount of common data.
Just like the Daqing Oilfield, which published oil paintings by Iron Man Wang Jinxi, Japanese experts analyzed the location, output and other news of the Daqing Oilfield from these data.
In fact, 70% of the intelligence is analyzed from external media information.
Hua Wuying collected various information in a month, including grain prices, vegetable prices, horse prices, cattle and sheep prices, field output, information about Youzhou officials, the number of troops, generals and other names. These data
It is easy to obtain, but the quantity is large and mixed.
It's about three hundred pages.
Li Mu read through it and gradually gained a clear understanding of Youzhou.
ps: The second update is here, I will continue to update it tonight.
