For five days, Li Mu did not see Li Siwen's shadow.

On this day, Li Mu had already melted all the iron ore in the house and refined the iron ore slag, and he had obtained more than 100 taels of silver and seven copper ingots. He couldn't take the copper ingots away, so he learned a few patterns and made these copper into bronze mirrors, copper locks and other small things. He took them out in his arms while he was working. After five days, he also returned home.

In the evening, Li Mu finished melting the last piece of iron ingot and was about to get the wages, but he discussed with Lao Tietou what work to do tomorrow. Li Siwen suddenly appeared and pulled Li Mu out. Li Mu shouted for the wages, but Li Siwen seemed to have not heard of it and kept pulling him outside the military weapon surveillance gate before letting go of his arm.

"Brother Siwen, what's so anxious about? I haven't received my salary yet!"

"That little money is worth mentioning! Look at what this is!" Li Siwen's face was flushed, and he took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms and handed it over. Seeing this color, Li Mu guessed eight points. Looking at Li Siwen's expression, eight points turned into ten points. It seems that this guy's affairs have been done!

As expected, Li Mu opened the yellow silk, and the content on it was to appoint Li Siwen as the magistrate of Dingxiangcheng County. There were only two more words "temporary generation". Moreover, the handwriting on this yellow silk did not look like a formal imperial edict, but it seemed to be written casually.

Li Siwen looked at Li Mu's face and guessed what he was thinking, explaining: "This is indeed not a formal bookmaking, but just a handwritten by Your Majesty. But don't underestimate it, it is also effective. Your Majesty's handwritten is equivalent to the order to temporarily take over the position of Dingxiangcheng County Magistrate and resume production and trade. As long as I can make some achievements, I will remove the word "temporary replacement"?" As he said that, he raised an air, coughed, and said: "I am about to take office soon. The yamen lacks a county magistrate. How about it, do it with me?"

Li Mu couldn't help laughing. Why did this sound like an inspiring tone of being a bandit? However, this incident hit his mind, and there was no reason to refuse. If the trade in Dingxiang City could be restored as soon as possible, it would be much easier to obtain materials. His real hope is only the system, and nothing else is important. As long as the skill level is improved, he will not be afraid wherever he goes.

Seeing Li Mu agree happily, Li Siwen was very happy and said, "Then let's make up. You come to the camp to find me tomorrow. There are still many things that we have to discuss."

Seeing Li Siwen's unreliable appearance, Li Mu felt uneasy and asked, "Mr. County Magistrate, how many people are there in the government office now?"

"You and me!" Li Siwen crawled onto the horse, and said in a relaxed tone: "I will come to you when I get the news. The county magistrate is me, and the county magistrate is you. Tomorrow we will find a few people from the camp as yamen runners and choose someone who is pleasing to the county magistrate. I'll get together! I'm very familiar with the things in the yamen. When I was in Chang'an, I often went to the county yamen to visit."

Li Mu said curiously: "I often go to the county government office? Why do I go?"

"Oh, I have to ask the bottom line... I was caught fighting with the brothers of the Cheng family! It was all my childhood, so it would be better if I didn't mention it! Come early tomorrow!" Li Siwen raised his horse whip and his horse's hooves, and disappeared from the street towards the setting sun. Li Mu stared at the man drowned in the afterglow of the sunset. He really didn't quite understand where his optimism and confidence came from.

Li Mu shook his head, turned back to get the wages, and found Lao Tietou and told him about it. It happened that he had finished his original work. Lao Tietou didn't say anything to keep him, but just gave a few simple and polite words.

When they returned home, Li Mu told Sun and Bai Qiaoqiao about this. Both of them were very happy. In their eyes, the county magistrate was a serious official. When they were in Mayi, the county magistrate had to sit in a sedan chair when they went out. The structure of the county officials at the Tang Dynasty was like this. Below the county magistrate, there was one county magistrate, and each county magistrate was one. The county magistrate was a civil servant, assisting the county magistrate government affairs. The county magistrate was a military officer, and he was in charge of the investigation and arrest and other miscellaneous matters. Dingxiangcheng was considered to be Zhongxian. The county magistrate of Zhongxian was the seventh rank, and Li Siwen was the acting county magistrate, and as usual, he was demoted to the first level, so his rank was Zhengqi.

The rank is exactly the same as his original record officer. The county magistrate in Zhongxian is from the eighth rank, and the county magistrate is from the ninth rank, both of which are among the court ranks, and the official appointment must be written by the Ministry of Personnel. Li Siwen is not qualified to appoint officials, so Li Mu, the county magistrate, does not have a formal official position. However, in Dingxiang City, as long as the Ministry of Personnel does not appoint personnel, Li Siwen, the county magistrate, is still counted. Of course, a regular county will not arrange personnel like this. Only Li Siwen, a slutty young man, can do such unreliable things.

The next morning, Li Mu came to the Tang army camp early. Li Siwen got up earlier than him and was already waiting. Behind him were eleven Guanzhong men, each of whom had a sword in his hand, but looking at the outfits of these people, they were clearly like cavalrymen, which was puzzling. Li Siwen introduced the leader of this group to Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, this is my father's personal soldier, his surname is Wang and his name is Hu. He is older than you and me, just call him "Brother Wang! He will be the county magistrate of Dingxiang City in the future. This group of people is the yamen runners of Dingxiang City. What do you think? This momentum is majestic enough, right? They are all warriors who serve as hundreds of people on the battlefield!"

Li Mu only took a look and understood what was going on. After all, I was still thinking about my son. Wang Hu was clearly the person sent by Li Ji to protect Li Siwen. Otherwise, Wang Hu, as a personal soldier under Li Ji, had not yet decided on the war ahead and he was not injured. How could he appear here? Seeing these people's eyes flashing from time to time, Li Mu did not dare to underestimate them. He greeted each other and communicated his names.

Li Siwen asked someone to lead the horse and also got a horse for Li Mu. A group of fifteen people rode high-headed horses, and formed a formation, filling the road. Li Siwen was in the middle, with Li Mu on the left and Wang Hu on the right, and ten people behind him were in two rows, each with five people in a row, full of rows. Li Siwen was proud and sighed: "If one day I could parade like this on Chang'an Street, this life would be enough!"

Wang Hu said coldly: "Young Master, don't think about it, this is impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" Li Siwen retorted dissatisfiedly: "When I am occupying the city and making unparalleled achievements, please open my eyes and look at me carefully. How did you parade on your horse?"

Li Mu felt speechless. It seemed that Li Siwen had told people a lot about the passage of "Subsiding the City". As soon as the corner of his mouth was pulled, Li Siwen turned his head and asked, "Li Mu, what do you think?"

Li Mu hurriedly held back his smile and said seriously: "I don't think there is anything impossible."

"Right!" Li Siwen took this as affirmation, strengthened his belief, pointed the whip to the middle of North Street, and said, "This county magistrate has decided, and the yamen will choose here!"

Wang Hu glanced at it and reminded: "Young Master, it's the Turkic Khan's where it is! It seems that something is inappropriate!"
