casket of old days

Chapter 321
"People belong to the city, monsters belong to the mountains, Shuzhou has been like this since ancient times."

Listening to Ning Chigong's explanation, Chu Qiguang said indifferently: "Since ancient times, it must be right?"

Ning Chigong was slightly taken aback, and then heard Chu Qiguang continue to say: "From now on, not only people in Bafu will be under our control, but demons must also be under our control."

"You do as I tell you."

Ning Chigong left with a sigh.

Chu Qiguang gave the bone box to Chen Gang, and then gave him the right to control the monster, and told him how to use the monster escape technique.

After all, it is impossible for him to do it himself every time he cleans up the monsters.

Except for some monsters who are too powerful, of course the rest must be handed over to Chen Gang, Zhang Jitian, Liu Yao and Ning Chigong.

This bone box is for Chen Gang just in case.

So the next day began, a raging demon-sweeping activity was launched in Bafu.

The aristocratic and powerful families in Bafu are still busy fighting for power and profit because several masters and young masters died at the banquet.

The magistrate of the government office hid in the field because of the attack of the robbery, and he has not come back yet.

Zhang Fengyun, taught by Tianshi, applauded Chu Qiguang's decision and supported him to sweep away the demons.

All of a sudden, there was no white power in this huge land that could stop Zhenmagus from moving.

At the same time, many people also gradually noticed that Ning Chigong was listening to Chu Qiguang's words, and they didn't know how this new Baihu subdued this local snake.

As for Zhenmensi, the demon suppression side was divided into two teams.

One team is led by Ning Chigong, and all his subordinates are servants he has carefully cultivated over the years.

The other team was led by Zhang Jitian, Liu Yao, and Chen Gang, with 32 soldiers newly trained by Chu Qiguang.

Finally, there is a hidden cat demon team led by Qiao Zhi and Baimi. Except for Qiao Zhi and Baimi, most of the backbones are cat demons transported by Chongmingniao from Yaoyin Village.

These cat demons who have experienced the study and practice of Yaoyin Village especially believe in the concept of Tongtian Old Demon leading the demons to build a demon village and break the feudal class.

After they came to Shuzhou, they scattered and mixed into the group of monsters in Bafu.

This time the Zhenmagic Division launched a mopping mission, based on the intelligence of the cat monsters to carry out fixed-point mopping up, and the primary target was those vicious monsters.

At this time, Ning Chigong also realized that Tongtian and Chu Qiguang were already in the same group.

With the advantage of intelligence, the two teams can rely on the strong to bully the weak every time, and fight the few with more.

As for the most powerful monsters, Chu Qiguang would naturally take care of them himself.

Except for a few times when Chu Qiguang took action personally, these days he was always haunted by ghosts. He summoned a group of monsters as an old demon who reached the sky, and prepared to lead them to open up wasteland and build villages.

In terms of site selection, Chu Qiguang had already made preparations. During this period of time, he rode the Chongming Bird to see all the ten counties of Bafu and the surrounding mountains.

Among them, the Lan River Valley in the south of Bafu is the most valued by him. The mountains on the left and right sides are gentle slopes, and the Lan River running through the middle is rich in water resources, and the daily sunshine is also abundant.

This place is suitable for monsters to cultivate food along the river, and the gentle slopes on both sides can be used to plant various medicinal materials, tea trees, fruits and other cash crops in the future.

Of course, Chu Qiguang only knows a little about farming, so Jin Ji, the vole farmer from Yaoyin Village, was also called over by him, ready to guide these monsters to farm.

However, this river valley is currently occupied by a large group of monsters, and Zhang Jitian, Liu Yao, and Chen Gang need to wipe out the monsters first.

But whether it is the seeds, agricultural tools, and food that the monsters need to cultivate the land, or the money and food that the town magician needs to wipe out the monsters.

As long as you want the monsters to farm hard and the soldiers to fight with all their heart, they need to have enough supplies and incentives.

It will cost money, and it is still a lot of money.

Qiao Zhi asked: "We are almost running out of money and food, and I figured out that we still need at least 5000 taels of silver. Do you want to stop asking Liu Yao and Zhang Jitian for some silver?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Their money is my money."

Qiao Zhi said, "Then I'll go ask them."

Chu Qiguang said: "I mean...my money can't be spent indiscriminately."

Qiao Zhi said, "Where does the money come from?"

Chu Qiguang said: "What are we doing to suppress demons, open up wasteland, and farm? Isn't it to protect the safety of the Bafu? When there is a good investment environment, can we get rich first and then get rich?"

Qiao Zhi turned his head: "That is."

Chu Qiguang said: "Shouldn't the aristocratic families here give money to help us exterminate demons?"

Qiao Zhi asked again: "It should be. But what if they don't want to pay?"

Chu Qiguang: "If they are decent, we will make them decent. If they are not decent, we will help them to be decent."

……

In the next few days, under Chu Qiguang's order, Ning Chigong visited the four great families in Bafu one by one to discuss the matter of paying money to suppress the demons.

"Now the situation is turbulent and demons are raging. If we don't clean up the demons in the mansion, I'm afraid there will be turmoil..."

Under Ning Chigong's persuasion, the four great aristocratic families did contribute money, and the total amount was 500 taels of silver.

In the next few days, incidents of monsters attacking people began to appear frequently around Bafu.

If the tenants under his command or the farmers in the county were attacked by monsters on weekdays and many people died, these big clans would complain at most.

But this time, the Cao and Miao families became anxious one by one.

Just because the Cao family's copper mine was attacked by monsters in the past few days, and the other was the Miao family's caravan.

They even stopped their internal scramble for power and first went to the Tianshijiao for help.

But the Taoist temple refused because it hadn't recovered from the severe injury in the last battle.

As a result, the two great families looked for Zhenmasi one after another and asked Chu Qiguang to exterminate the monsters.

Seeing the anxious expressions of the representatives of the two families, Chu Qiguang said slowly, "These monsters are too arrogant to bully your two families. How can this be done?"

As he said that, he slapped the table: "Ning Baihu! Why don't you bring troops to wipe out these monsters?"

Ning Baihu lowered his head and said: "Lord Chu, during this period of time, the camp has been sweeping away monsters and fighting bloody battles day and night. The brothers under him are already exhausted. Moreover, the money and food in the castle has always been insufficient. I'm afraid we won't be able to send troops this year."

"What? You won't be able to send troops this year?" Chu Qiguang said helplessly, "Then there is no other way."

The representatives of the two families looked at each other and said helplessly, "How much money do you need before you are willing to send troops?"

Ning Chigong said: "1 taels of silver, or it can be paid with grain."

In the end, the Cao family and the Miao family jointly contributed the money and food, and Chu Qiguang's great cause of suppressing demons and farming was finally able to continue.

In addition to this batch of money and food, in the invisible darkness, some people from the four great families of the Bafu were given the foundation-building method of the sky demon.

The huge silver cat demon looked at the few people kneeling on the ground in front of him.

These few people were specially selected by him, heirs who were repeatedly excluded in the four great families, and were not valued. They were full of resentment towards the family, and they were suitable for him to use to infiltrate the four great families.

The cat demon said slowly: "I will help you ascend to the position of patriarch, but from now on, you..."

Several people raised their heads and said hastily: "Our lives will be yours from now on!"

"Who will kill you." The cat demon said calmly, "I just want to do business with the four great families."
