It’s better to have a small county town with a high mountain and a distant emperor. Somehow, the Samurai suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

But no matter how much he thinks about it, if he really lets him give up his life in Chang'an City, Lao Wu is a little reluctant to let it go. After all, Chang'an is the most prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not comparable to ordinary small places.

Just like now, the huge county town outside is pitch black and you can’t even hear the barking of dogs. This is enough to show that the nightlife of Shanyin County is backward. If it were in Chang'an, it would be a good time to go out for brothels and drink flowers and wine.

Thinking of some of the things that are not available, the warrior asked casually: "Nephew, how many people do you have in Shanyin County now?"

"It's probably less than eight thousand households." Li Muyun stuffed a bite of food into his mouth and said casually.

"Puff..." Lao Wu squirted out a mouthful of old wine, widened his eyes and asked, "How much did you say?"

"Uh, oh, nine thousand, about nine thousand households." Before Li Muyun could answer, he saw Sun Liang, who had not spoken, making a gesture of nine, and quickly changed his words.

"..." The warrior looked at Li Muyun speechlessly. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that Shuozhou Prefecture had a population of only about 5,000 households, right? How could one Shanyin County have 9,000 households? Could it be that Shanyin County is not under the jurisdiction of Shuozhou Prefecture?

Li Muyun naturally knew why Lao Wu was in a daze, but pretending to be a silly became his innate instinct. He pretended to be strange and asked, "What's wrong with Uncle? But what's wrong?"

"Of course not right. When I came here, I passed by Shuozhou. The assassin Han Fu said that there were more than 5,800 households in Shuozhou. Why did you have nine,000 households in Shanyin County? Why is your county more than the entire city of the capital?" Wu Shiyan showed a strange expression on his face. He thought for a while and said, "Nephew, you must not boast about such things. You must know that the Ministry of Revenue will collect taxes based on your total population."

"Oh, this matter is actually my nephew's fault." Li Muyun sighed in a fake manner: "You also know that I asked the emperor for a handwritten order to recruit escaped people in Chang'an some time ago."

"Yes." Samurai nodded.

"As a result, my nephew came back, and recruited the former escaped people. But they didn't expect that there were more and more people. When they opened, they were still one household or two households. Later, there were ten households and eight households. Now there are almost hundreds of households every day. Hundred households come in every day, so I don't know how to report the number of people." Although Li Muyun was sighing, even the blind man could hear the pride in his tone.

Yes, the total population of a county is even greater than that of the entire prefecture. It is a strange story wherever it is placed, and this happened in just half a year.

If the Khitan Diezu tribe moved in in the second half of the year, it is estimated that the total population of Shanyin County will reach three to four times that of the entire Shuozhou Prefecture.

In other words, Li Muyun relied on his own county to make the population reach the level of Zhongzhou.

You should know that the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty were divided into upper, middle and lower, among which the states with less than 20,000 households were Xiazhou, more than 20,000 were Zhongzhou, and Shangzhou had a population of more than 40,000 households.

The population of Shuozhou Prefecture was more than 5,000 households, so it was Xiazhou. However, after Li Muyun raised the population, he remembered that the population of Shanyin County could reach two or ten thousand households.

This is a completely ruining the existence of people's views. Wu Shi Ting never thought that Li Muyun hadn't seen him in just half a year and had actually developed a county to this level. If he didn't consider that this guy had just supported more than fifty people, the merits of recruiting people alone would be enough to upgrade him to the third level.

However, with more people, the problem naturally arises. Samurai soon realized a serious problem, so he asked in a deep voice: "Nephew, you have suddenly increased so much population. How to distribute the land? How to solve the problem of farming? If there is not enough food in autumn..."

"Don't worry, uncle, I have considered this matter for a long time. In terms of farming, I specially borrowed fifty oxen from the Korean sect, and then borrowed about four hundred from the Mobei grassland. With these hundreds of oxen, thousands of acres of land can be cultivated in a day. With continuous land reclamation, the land now has only a lot more than the number of people."

"The other is the question of what to plant. Because some escaped people were later naturalized and missed the time for spring planting, our county arranged for them to grow some soy products. In the autumn, they can use those soy products to exchange for food."

"You must also know that the most I lack in my nephew now is food, so there is no need to worry about not being able to support them."

Of course, Warrior knew that Li Muyun was not short of food. If it weren't for this food, he wouldn't have turned against the old man Han Ai.

Just when the warrior nodded and expressed his understanding, Li Muyun said again: "Originally, my nephew was thinking that there was a black stone mine in the county. In fact, the escaped people did not have time to farm, so they went to the mine to dig some black stones. At that time, my nephew might give them food based on how many black stones they dug."

"But I never expected that the Black Stone Mine would be occupied by the bandits, so my nephew made the decision to wipe them out because of a moment of indifference. Although this was a reckless nephew, my nephew was also afraid of causing civil unrest. After all, those people needed to eat. If the mine they depended on was occupied and the county had no statement yet, if those people started to make trouble, it would be even more powerful than killing those bandits."

I have to say that Li Muyun was already confused by this mouth. He kept nodding while listening to him. At this time, he even felt that those "bandits" should be killed, and not killed is not enough to calm the public's anger, although the bandits knew that they were sent by the Wang family as long as they were individuals.

But what does this matter? After all, Li Muyun has to support tens of thousands of people. Is it wrong to kill a few dilapidated houses in order to quell the public's anger? If I don't want to, the Wang family will not return the mine to him, will he let him wait for the people to make trouble?

Thinking of this, Wu Shishi Teng already knew how to explain this to Li Shimin after returning to Beijing. Lao Wu even promised that if the situation in Shanyin County was explained to the emperor, Li Muyun would not only not be punished, but also likely would be commended.

As for those who died in the Wang family, they should die if they die. Anyway, they should not be any important figures.
