I have become immortal, Taoist friends still need to be diligent

"Does the government not care?"

Li Mu asked.

"Whatever, I heard they are refugees from other places. There are too many people, and only a small part of them come to our village."

"I don't know where I'm going now, so I have to accept my fate."

After the old man finished speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing.

"Old man, don't be too sad. I also have some martial arts skills. Just go to the county office and ask, or go have a look nearby. Maybe they are nearby."

Li Mu consoled him.

After all, it had been three months, and Li Mu couldn't guarantee how far they had run. It would be easier to find them if they just ran with the large army.

But if you break away from the team and run on your own, it will be difficult to find.

I can only give the old man a comfort.

"Thank you, hero, but there are so many of them, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist them."

Although the old man wanted to find his daughter-in-law, he was also worried about Li Mu's safety.

"It doesn't matter, old man, my horse is very fast, can't it run away if I can't beat it?"

Li Mu said with a nonchalant smile.

"That too."

When the old man heard this, he thought the same thing.

"Dad, why is there a dark horse at home?"

While Li Mu was chatting with the old man, a young man's voice came from outside.

"Son, this is a hero. He said he would help you find a wife. Hurry up and tell the hero about your wife's characteristics to make it easier for the hero to find her."

As soon as the old man heard that his son was back, he went out and took his son and told him.

"Really? Hero, you, I'll tell you right now."

When the young man heard what his father said, he was so excited that he couldn't form words. He handed a pheasant in his hand to the old man and quickly came to the house to tell Li Mu.

After a long time, Li Mu finally listened to the young man's explanation.

"Hero, let's eat first."

At this time, the old man actually made rice from the pheasant that he was usually reluctant to eat and served it.

"You have to eat enough to have the strength to work."

Looking at old man Li Mu, he said.

"it is good."

Li Mu didn't show any pretense and just had a meal with the family.

"Let's go, Yang Da, follow me to the county government office to find out the news."

Li Mu finished his meal. I also knew the young man’s name, so I told him.

"Ok."

Then the two of them went to a neighboring village to find a low-grade horse, deposited fifty taels of silver, and rushed to the county seat eighty miles away.

"who?"

When we arrived at the gate of the county government office, two officers asked him.

"Li Muzhi, a civil and military scholar of the Great Wei Dynasty."

Li Mu handed the gilded nameplate newly given by the emperor to the officer.

The officer saw the letter on the front and wrote: Baron of Qingping County in the Great Wei Dynasty.

On the reverse side: Li Mu, a civil and military scholar of the Wei Dynasty, named Muzhi, was born in the 28th year of Tiancheng's reign in the Wei Dynasty.

Tiancheng is the year name, this year is the thirty-eighth year of Tiancheng, and Emperor Wei is already in his early sixties.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

Although the two guards couldn't tell it was genuine, they didn't dare to say it was a fake brand. I went to notify the county magistrate.

"My Lord Baron, please, sit inside."

After a while, the county magistrate came out and personally invited Li Mu to the county government living room.

"Walk."

Li Mu picked up the stunned Yang Da and went to the living room.

"I see……"

It's still faster to do things if you have an identity.

In less than two-quarters of an hour, the county magistrate told Li Mu the news that Li Mu wanted to know.

It turns out that all the refugees have run up the mountain and are difficult to hunt down. Now the county magistrate is also thinking about how to deal with it, so he can only set up defenses at the foot of the mountain first.

They are said to be refugees, but they are actually two to three thousand farmers from other places who have no food to eat.

No wonder the village was smashed, looted and burned, but there were no vicious killings.

"Sir, why don't you carve out a piece of wasteland in the county, cultivate it for them, and give them some food. If they have the courage to run, they will naturally come down the mountain."

Li Mu suggested.

"But there are some prisoners among them?"

The county magistrate was puzzled.

"This is easy to handle. You just need to explain the pros and cons to them. After all, there are only a few people who have committed crimes, and even fewer have committed capital crimes. You send people to shout at them every day, within ten days."

"Even if they are unwilling to surrender, they will surrender because they have no food to eat. And those criminals will certainly not be sheltered."

Li Mu judged.

"The land reclamation requires approval, which is not easy to do in this county (⊙o⊙)."

The county magistrate was a little moved when he heard this, but then he thought of something else. He had no choice but to say helplessly.

"This is not difficult. I can write a letter and hand it to the court."

"And even if the court doesn't agree, the worst you can do is bring in some food so they don't go hungry on the way home."

"You will only be able to serve as the county magistrate for one or two more years at most, but if those refugees rush down and some people die, I am afraid it will be difficult to move your position."

Li Mu patiently analyzed the pros and cons for the county magistrate.

"Okay, done."

When the county magistrate heard that he could not be promoted, he immediately made up his mind.

In less than three days, the refugees killed their leader and surrendered with several people involved in murder cases.

Most of the people there are men, and most of the old people and women are waiting to die in their hometowns. They are all miserable people.

Li Mu's letter has not been sent yet. As soon as the refugees heard that they could receive food, they all took the food and went home to save their families.

And Yang Da's wife also came back. She was caught cooking for three months, but she lost a lot of weight.

"Hero, you are the benefactor of our family."

Arriving at Yang's house, Li Mu was about to say goodbye when the old man took the whole family and knelt down in front of Li Mu.

"You can't do that, old man. If you kneel down to me at such an old age, my life will be shortened."

Li Mu quickly helped them up.

"Little boy, can't you be a bandit again?"

Riding on the horse and about to leave, he suddenly looked back at Yang Dagou, who was nestling in his mother's arms, and said with a smile.

"Hero, what's your name?"

The child asked with admiration in his eyes.

"Qingping County, Li Muzhi."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he smiled and rode away again.

Li Mu also took care of the old man's illness and didn't give them any money. He was just helping the urgent but not the poor.

Besides, the Yang family is now happy as a family and has overcome the difficulties. They can still support their family well by relying on Yang Da's craftsmanship.

But there was another thing that Li Mu didn't expect. After he left, as time slowly fermented, the county spread: Baron Qingping Li Muzhi's chivalrous reputation.

At first, the Yang family spread the news, and later the county officials also spread the word. Finally, the county magistrate also mentioned it once when he was out, and it spread all of a sudden.

"The candy seller~"

Walking in Anyang County City, Li Mu was walking around with his horse. This was his first time in a county-level city.

"Secretary, come to the upper room and a table of food and wine."

Li Mu wandered around for more than half an hour, then gave the horse in his hand to the people in the restaurant, and said to the waiter with the half-eaten candy in his hand.

"okay."

Li Mu came to a seat by the window on the second floor and sat down. From this place, he could see all kinds of people on the street.

Stalls, small shops, martial artists, and scholars all have a unique flavor.

Anyang County is a large place. There are 100,000 people living in the city. The city walls are ten meters high and are made of bricks and stones.

Even the restaurant is much larger. The first and second floors in the front hall are dining areas, and the back hall is a separate guest room.

There is even a separate small yard.

"Sir, the dishes are ready. Please use them."

Li Mu looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, moved his index finger, and started eating without waiting for anything else.
