The goblin in the palace is on top

Chapter 607 Chapter [-]: He Guang Resolutely Supports His Master
Facing He Guang's question, Wu Shishi smiled mysteriously.Then he told her: "I am like you, I was sent by the Empress to serve Wang Xuanji. So the three of us must cooperate sincerely. When encountering problems, let's communicate in depth together."

"Oh!" Shiliu nodded with a vague understanding, expressing that he would actively cooperate with Wu Shiyi's actions.When necessary, special care and help will be given to the master to do what a little slave should do.

Wu Shiyi felt very happy after hearing He Guang's assurance.Knowing that along the way, neither he nor the eldest princess will be alone.

After the ceremony for the army to leave the city, the [-] Jiangnan Army headed south under the leadership of the Grand Master and the Eldest Princess.

This time, the congenital gossip that Wu Shiyi calculated for the eldest princess all matched up.So Wu Shishi knew that what happened next in the blood mist was bound to be related to the life and death of the eldest princess and Tuotuo...

So along the way, Wu Shiyi carefully weighed and acted according to his ability.

The eldest princess has the ability to fly a sword.Wu Shishi can also use his sacred writing brush to open the portal to get what he needs.It stands to reason that all of them can be used to help the army reach the south early.But none of them did.

For one thing, the eldest princess Wang Xuanji is carrying the official title of "Monster Catch General" this time.With this official title, she must participate in military affairs.Moreover, the previous reckless entry into the South China Sea Demon Fog had already made her aware of the disadvantages of reckless recklessness.So this time, she was extra careful.

On Wu Shishi's side, the situation was similar.Since he was with the army as a false official.Then it means that he must stay in the army.And it's not wise to play those Taoist methods in front of the grand master Tuotuo.

After all, although the grand master couldn't see Wu Shiyi's true strength because of his royal spirit.But he is also the eighth grade of Confucianism loyal to Daxing Dynasty.Once seen, he will definitely kill himself.

After all, the real purpose of the Grand Master going south this time is not to exterminate monsters, but to cut off the "fire virtue" in the south.

With an army of [-], it is impossible to go south quickly.In addition, this is Wu Shishi's first time on a business trip.So I took advantage of this rare opportunity to observe Daxing Chao's places outside the capital.

And this observation soon left a deeper impression on Wu Shiyi.

After leaving the vicinity of Gyeonggi, the capital city.The scenery of the whole area is changed.There are bones everywhere, and the deserted villages are uninhabited.The huge arable land has been reduced to a horse farm for herdsmen, and the huge city has only a few military households.There are even scenes where people and foxes are neighbors, and people and dolphins eat together.

Looking at such a scene, Wu Shishi felt very chilled.

Because, this is still around Zhili, Gyeonggi.If we go further south and reach the more remote and more frequent wars in the south, I am afraid that there will only be more chaos...

Of course, if it is said that there are only these desolate scenery in the Daxing Dynasty, it is not entirely true.In the process of advancing, Wu Shiyi had indeed seen some resplendent and lively settlements.

However, these settlements all have one characteristic - they are backed by temples.

Under the protection of those resplendent and magnificent temples, faithful men and women around will spontaneously gather around the temples, forming settlements one by one.While they provide coolies and products for the temple, the temple also provides protection, tax avoidance and spiritual sustenance for these people.

This kind of production method seems to have become the mainstream in the Daxing Dynasty, where people's livelihood was sluggish.Later, Wu Shiyi learned about it from the sergeants of the Jiangnan Army.These peasant households relying on temples are called Fotuhu.

Today, about one-third of the people in the world are Fotu households.Even sometimes, joining Buddhism has become the only way for them to avoid war and excessive taxation.

…As the army headed south, the words of the sergeants gradually came true.There are more and more Fotu households as you go south.

When the army came to the Huaisi area after more than half a month of rapid march.The Fotu households here have reached their peak.The contiguous temple properties have finally created a special prosperity for the entire region that is different from that in the north.

At this time, the grand master's army was only less than seven days away from the bloody and chaotic land of King Ru'an.If the starry night advances, I am afraid that it will take less than three days to reach the destination.

But at this juncture, the Taishi's army suddenly stopped moving.For three days in a row, the Grand Master held a secret meeting with Wang Xuanji and the others.

The sudden meeting made Wu Shiyi feel that the grand master might have encountered something extremely difficult.

So the first day, when Wang Xuanji and Shiliu came back, Wu Shishi casually inquired.

Facing Wu Shiyi's questioning.Wang Xuanji said the biggest problem facing the grand master and her at this time - no money.

It turned out that due to insufficient preparations for this march, the army did not bring enough food, grass and money.Being able to persist until the Huaisi Province is already the limit.

Next, there are indeed only seven days left.But the army's food and money are only enough to last for three days.Even if they rushed to that place by grazing, eating seedlings, or even eating people, the army would have no way out and no fighting power.

After all, no one knows what is in the demon fog, and no one knows how long it will take to calm down the demon chaos and return to the army...

After the princess finished speaking, she let out a long sigh and said, "Hey! If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Confucianism's army is really different from our Taoist school. There must be logistics, arrangements, and prevention of mutiny. .These things are all influenced by people's hearts, and strategies prevail. It is far from being solved by Taoist cultivation of the mind or the purification of the six senses."

"Yes!" Wu Shiyi nodded after hearing this.Then he said, "But these difficulties, the grand master should have anticipated them before going out. After all, he is a professional doing this."

"There are some things that he can't do anything about." Wang Xuanji told Wu Shishidao, "The grand master said that the original force was halved. He thought it would be enough to halve the army's salary. But... more than a year of continuous fighting has made the soldiers tired of fighting And the panic became great. So when he gave the silver reward, he had to double it."

"Oh. Understood." Wu Shixi nodded, and then asked Wang Xuanji, "In this case, he held a meeting with you all day, did he come up with any good solutions?"

"This..." Speaking of this matter.Wang Xuanji's face became even uglier.There is an unspeakable sense of shame.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Xuanji told Wu Shishi: "There is only one. That is Dacaogu."

"Hit grass valley?" Wu Shiyi was very surprised when he heard Wang Xuanji's words.

Hitting Grass Valley is the wording of an official spring.To put it bluntly, it is actually an official robbery.

According to the rules of the Daxingchao army, in the next three days, the grand master will give the soldiers instructions.

Within a short period of time, each person must find a fixed amount of food to be used as military rations.If it is not achieved, it will be punished.If achieved, rewards are given.If the excess is exceeded, the excess will be counted as an additional income for them and will not be taxed.

All in all, it is to mobilize the soldiers' plundering wildness to solve the problem of military rations.
