Chapter 397 Practice!

Be an official? Release?

The first half is not strange, but what does it mean to release the outside in the second half? I heard that officials in the court, who were demoted or were exiled as officials after being exiled in the imperial examination, can officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs be released? Where can they be released?

Changsun Chong stood in the crowd, his heart was as itchy as a cat scratching. He wanted to know it very much, but he didn't dare to ask. He happened to see a person standing next to him, somewhat familiar, and seemed to have seen him somewhere. He just thought he was also a playboy in Chang'an City, and he raised his hand to pat his shoulder. Changsun Chong was originally a tycoon in the playboy circle in Chang'an City, and he never remembered his name for the second-class playboy.

"Hey!" Changsun Chong saw this man turning back and saw clearly. Looking at this man's face, he was not like a person in the playboy circle, but he looked like a teacher, but he didn't care. Looking at these 300 applicants, who is better than him?

Changsun asked bluntly: "Do you know me?"

The man glanced at Changsun and bowed, "I've seen Prince Zhao."

"Do you help me and ask Zhuluhou what does it mean to release the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Changsun Chong issued an order directly, without even asking what the other person's name was.

The man hesitated for a moment, nodded, turned around and looked at Li Mu on the steps, and said aloud: "Marquis Zhulu, the student has a doubt, I hope the Marquis will answer."

"ah?"

When Li Mu heard the voice, he saw that this was a young man of about the same age as his previous life. He was about twenty-seven or eighty years old, with a short beard on his jaw and his temperament was like a teacher. His age was not young in the social environment of the Tang Dynasty, but he called himself a "student", which was a bit intriguing.

Li Mu raised his hand and pointed at the person, saying, "If you have any doubts, come forward and answer."

Everyone's eyes gathered over, and the man was not timid. He went out and came to the front of everyone, looked up at Li Mu, and said, "Student Ma Zhou, a person from Qinghe, has worked as an assistant teacher in Bozhou. He is now a guest of the General Chang He's mansion, General Chang He, who handles some official documents and other miscellaneous matters for General Chang He. He is appreciated by General Chang and He, and has invested 100% to sign up for the students."

After briefly introducing himself, Ma Zhou stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the topic, saying: "The students have two doubts in their hearts. I hope the Marquis will answer. First, why don't you win the election and not give a refund? Second, how can the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs be released? Will the Ministry of Internal Affairs be set up in the future?"

Li Mu looked at Ma Zhou with his eyebrows. After coming to the Tang Dynasty, he rarely saw people who spoke so simply and straight to the topic and were concise and logical without nonsense. Moreover, he noticed Ma Zhou's eyes. It was calm and clear. He cared about the result of the problem, without any sense of fear.

Like a talent!

This is Ma Zhou’s first impression on Li Mu.

But this does not mean that Li Mu will give him a good look. What's wrong with the talent? When I arrived at my marquis's subordinates, they were dragons and tigers. I asked after asking questions. What's the matter with this marquis, so I have time to serve you?

"First, why not refund the money? Because I am willing to do so. Second, how to distribute it and whether to set up an office of the Internal Affairs Department in the local area is what you should ask?"

Li Mu walked down the steps, lit Ma Zhou's chest, and said, "You are not qualified yet. When you finally choose successfully, you will know what you should know. You shouldn't ask what you shouldn't know. This is called being sensible. Do you understand?"

Ma Zhou's body stiffened, probably because his self-esteem was slightly frustrated, bowed and said nothing, retreated back to the crowd.

Li Mu looked at everyone and said, "Tomorrow, the meeting will be gathered here, and those who are late will be considered eliminated. From now on, this marquis does not need you to have any questions. You just remember to do what this marquis said, and the remaining fifty people can be officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Remember this one--" After that, Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Spread!"

Everyone looked at each other, looking at me, looking at you, and I had no choice but to go home!

...

The next day.

Li Mu arrived early, except for his right-hand arm, the two generals of Hum and Ha, Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu. Changsun Chong, Wang Pu, and Tang Guan were also beside him. Li Mu had no expression on his face, and watched the signers who had arrived one by one yesterday, and looked at the sundial passing by Chen Shi, and asked Li Chongyi next to him, "How many people have come?"

Li Chongyi looked far and wide, counted for a while, and said, "Brother, there are eighteen gaps."

"Tell me what you said, these eighteen people will be eliminated!"

At this time, several carriages rushed over, and several people got off the carriage and rolled and crawled toward this end. Li Mu glanced at him, and Li Chongyi raised his hand and pointed, and immediately a few Jinyiwei in bright clothes and angry horses came over to stop the person. Some people were dissatisfied, and the Jinyiwei was not polite, so he knocked him out and dragged him away.

Everyone was worried and secretly thanked that they were not late, at least they didn't have to experience the strong fists of the Jinyiwei.

Li Mu took the 'multiphone' he made overnight from Dugu Jiu, put it in front of his mouth, and shouted: "I'm happy to tell you that you have passed the first test. As officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, punctuality is something that must be done. Any success starts with punctuality. I hope you will also regard punctuality as a life principle in the future, be strict with yourself, and be cautious in your rules."

"Next, I'm going to announce the next arrangement."

"You know, why I strictly want young people under the age of 30? Now let me tell you the reason. As an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is impossible to be a good physical strength. The body is the capital for doing anything. I don't want the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be like those borers in the Censorate, and they will do nothing except picking other people's faults all day long! So, next, I will test your physical strength!"

Li Mu raised his hand, Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu opened a piece of silk cloth, and there was a map on it. Li Mu pointed to the location of the five-pointed star on the map and said, "Go out of the city gate and arrive at this valley, no more or less, twenty miles! Now, everyone runs, as long as they arrive at the valley before noon, they will be qualified. I have arranged for the chef to prepare barbecue and fine wine in the valley, and eat it as soon as they can. If they can't get there, I'm sorry, there is no wine and meat, and I deserve to starve to death, and at the same time, they will be eliminated!"

Li Mu pointed to Li Chongyi and the Jinyiwei and said, "My brothers will take the Jinyiwei to supervise you, and they will run with you. There are people from the Jinyiwei along the way, so you don't have to worry about making bad ideas. It's impossible to succeed. Run honestly and remember, before noon."

After saying that, Li Mu took the order flag handed over by Dugu Jiu and waved it. Then he turned around and the carriage. Changsun Chong and Tang Guan were about to follow him, but Li Mu kicked him.

"You guys have many bullshits? Run and go home if you don't run!"

Leaving this sentence, Dugu Jiu threw the whip and the carriage walked leisurely. Everyone looked at each other, looking at me, I looked at you, and there was a meaning in their eyes: Run or not?

While everyone was hesitating, Ma Zhou was the first to lift his robe and tie it around his waist, and took a big step to run. Immediately, an Jinyiwei left the team and followed. Seeing this, some people also followed him with their fate. Some of them were still hesitant, and saw that more and more people were running, they followed reluctantly. There were not only those who gave up, but few were less than ten. The Jinyiwei did not stop him and appointed them to leave.

Everyone left, Li Chongyi looked at Changsun Chong, Tang Guan and Wang Pu, and asked hard: "Do you run away? If you want to run away, hurry up, if you don't run away, you will be eliminated."

Changsun Chong looked up at Li Chongyi and said, "Big man, we are also acquaintances. Can you discuss it? Look at my physique, it seems like a person who can run twenty miles? Look at what you need, and you say, as long as I can do it, I will be satisfied. Can you lend me a horse secretly and let me ride a horse?"

Wang Pu did not speak out, but nodded. Tang Guan and Li Chongyi were a little familiar with each other and said with a smile: "Zhongyi, my brother is your eldest brother, he is still my brother, and we are also brothers. Brothers and brothers, can you bear to let me run twenty miles?"

Li Chongyi was unmoved at all and said, "Brother said, twenty miles. It's okay if you don't run, you'll be eliminated."

The three of them suddenly became frowning and kept begging. Li Chongyi had no expression on his face and no reaction. At this time, a Jinyiwei next to him said, "I said you guys are just twenty miles away? It's only 2 hours now, and there's still two hours left. Even if you can't run, you'll have to walk. If you delay any more, there's really no hope. If you want me to say it, let's go quickly. Do you want to rush to do it!"

Changsun Chong immediately glared at him and said, "You can speak--" He said halfway, and suddenly recognized that the Jinyiwei was Li Chongyi, the son of Li Xiaogong. The second half of the sentence suddenly choked back and said, "It turns out to be the prince, you, why are you..."

Li Chongyi looked proud and said, "Brother has already told me to join the Jinyiwei. Starting from the last lieutenant, I will be promoted to the full range of merits. Yesterday I passed all the assessments of Jinyiwei. You will be scared if you have twenty miles yesterday? Yesterday I ran twenty miles back and forth, a total of forty miles!" As he said, he was a little impatient and said, "Do you run away? If we don't run, we will leave, and I still want to eat meat!"

Changsun Chong looked desperate and said annoyedly: "It's not impossible to run... But why is it just us who runs? Why doesn't he run? This is unfair, twenty miles, it's easy to say, why doesn't he try it?!"

"Dare you dare to call me my elder brother?" Li Chongyi stared at him. Li Mu helped him get involved in the Jinyiwei's affairs. In his eyes, he was like a god and could not be desecrated. Others were afraid of Changsun Chong, but he was not afraid, so he wanted to attack Changsun Chong.

Li Chongyi reached out to stop him, glanced at Changsun, and said, "The prince doesn't have to complain. The choice is in your hands, and you can just stop running and eliminate it. But there is one thing I want to tell you, my elder brother has not run away, but part of the training charter of the Jinyiwei was formulated by the elder brother. He has demonstrated all the projects he formulated. The Jinyiwei usually trains for twenty miles and travels."

After saying this, Li Chongyi ignored the three of them and called the order, and the remaining Jinyiwei lined up in two rows and ran neatly.

Wang Pu watched the Jinyiwei run farther and farther away, stomped his feet, and ran along with him.

Tang Guan saw it inevitable, and followed him with a look of indifference.

Only Changsun was left to rush to a fat man, and tears were about to fall off. He was very sure now. Li Mu just wanted to mess with him, otherwise why was he running? He looked down at his belly and cursed in his heart, letting a fat man with a weight of more than 200 pounds run twenty miles. You can be a person, can you do it!

There was no way, Changsun Chong gritted his teeth and followed behind with a groan.

...

The carriage was not fast, and the carriage was not bumpy at all. Li Mu was lying on the bed but he was not sleeping, he was practicing.

Internal strength.

After studying the "Taixuan Sutra" given by Sun Simiao and the "Sunflower Book" created by Eunuch Gao, Li Mu has already had a preliminary understanding of what internal strength is.

Internal strength is the method of controlling the 'qi' in the body. The process of letting the 'qi' pass through the acupuncture points around the body in a certain order and finally gathering it into the qi sea in the Dantian is practice. In this order, some are very efficient, while others are very inefficient. Recording the efficient operation rules is a so-called "secret book".

Once Li Mu understood this truth, he could start to ‘customize’ his own internal skills.

He found Liu Shenwei and asked for a book called "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing", a medical book written by Huangfu Mi, a doctor in the Jin Dynasty, which detailed the major acupuncture points around the human body.

The human body has fourteen meridians, twelve meridians, Ren and Du meridians, and there are 409 acupoints, including 361 acupoints on the fourteen meridians and 48 exotic acupoints outside the meridians. Simply put, creating an internal skill is to arrange and combine these acupoints.

This is a bit like the work that Li Mu did in his previous life. As a game data balance designer, he is no stranger to this kind of work.

Moreover, through the study of the "Taixuan Sutra" and "Sunflower Book", Li Mu also came up with an experience.

The "Taixuan Sutra" and the "Sunflower Book" can be said to be two representative exercises in internal strength. The "Taixuan Sutra" is a Taoist internal strength, following the rules and being straight, with slow results, but solid, with almost no hidden dangers.

The "Sunflower Book" emphasizes quick success, the sword takes a deviant approach and takes effect quickly, but its foundation is not solid, and once there is a deviation, it may die suddenly at any time.

Li Mu analyzed the acupuncture points, meridians and qi used in the two books. He found that the movement of qi in the "Taixuan Jing" is often caused by the twelve main meridians, while the "Sunflower Book" is often caused by the Ren and Du meridians.

Combined with the setting that the skill of opening the Ren and Du meridians in martial arts novels in the previous life, Li Mu boldly speculated that the reason why the "Sunflower Book" is effective quickly must be that it uses unique means, such as cutting off Ding Ding, opening up a meridian in the Ren and Du meridians, and then starting from the meridians that are opened, it can only be a thousand miles a day. In other words, the Ren and Du meridians are like high-speed rail, starting at a speed of 300 per hour. The advantage of this method is that you gather limited resources in one place, twist into a rope, and use the force in one place, and the effect will naturally be fast.
