The Legend of Cultivation by Little Mortals

"What is this?" Zhang Ye said indifferently: "The situation of suppressing bandits in the central region is extremely severe. The conditions of our soldiers are difficult. Wushuang's city is too far away, and military supplies are inconvenient. This is a great strategy for suppressing bandits. If there is not enough military supplies, this battle will There is no way to fight. If it affects the morale of the army and affects the national policy, the commander will inevitably raise his sword to kill people, Zhuang Ning, do you understand the importance of this incident?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Zhuang Ning's head. Of course, the importance is clear. Zhang Ye mentioned that it affects the military supplies and morale of the army. With this hat off, no matter where it is, no matter what dynasty, it can be done at will. Hundreds of heads were beheaded to worship the flag.

"Of course you can." Zhuang Ning said, "It's just that this is inconsistent with the national policy. You should know that the army abroad is controlled by the Palace Commander's Mansion, and all military supplies are allocated by the Palace Commander's Palace in accordance with the national policy. With this move, it is inevitable that we will set up a private army. Suspected of supplying military expenses."

Zhang Ye laughed and said: "You also said that it's just a suspicion, not a fact. The actual situation is that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. This commander, on behalf of His Royal Highness, will personally go to the expedition. He will be out, not ordered, and has the right to act arbitrarily. In an emergency, mobilizing the provincial government treasury is of course within the authority of the commander. If everything is submitted to the center, let me ask you, is it the time of the decisive battle or the moment of siege? , can we die?"

At this point, Zhuang Ning didn't dare to say any more, and said in a low voice: "Marshal, how many Sanyang pills do you need?"

Zhang Yedao: "Of course, the more the better, my 41 battalions, more than 6000 people, at least four pills every day, one less, if someone doesn't get it, it will affect the stability of my army, then I will kill people." .”

Zhuang Ning knelt down as if walking on thin ice and said, "I'll deal with the humble job immediately."

After Zhuang Ning left in a hurry, Zhu Jin on the side said, "It's strange, according to the commander's request, there are only more than 6 Sanyang pills per day, and the value is about 3000. In this way, even if this battle takes a year, it is only a mere More than [-] million, why is Zhuang Ning so worried? It should be very easy for a province to supply tens of millions within a year."

Zhang Ye said coldly: "Because he is not stupid, he knows that this commander is just the beginning. Nowadays, it is normal for all provinces and provinces to be short of treasury, and they hide it from the higher authorities. If my guess is not wrong, the three provinces of Zhuang Bufan are Beiyan. Besides, the treasury is the one with the worst deficit. If the war continues to expand, it will be a protracted war, and the conditions will be even worse. When the commander continues to dispatch troops from the central provinces to station in Tanghe City, and according to the situation, Siyang Pill will be upgraded. Zhuang Ning's nightmare. At that time, according to the book treasury of Tanghe Province, he had to support it, but in fact, the treasury didn't have that much money. If he wanted to support it, he had to ask the Zhuang family for help and borrow usury. There will also be times when the supply is not available, and at that time, the commander-in-chief will definitely show his power. That is the time when Miss Bao mentioned to solve the shortage of the central province's treasury."

Zhu Jin said: "Marshal, you also serve as the internal minister. If you want to solve the problem of the treasury, just write down and take over the treasury. Isn't that all right?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "You are a soldier, so I don't blame you for making a mistake. It's not that simple. Now that you accept the treasury, you can only chop off Zhuang Ning's head. Besides, the treasury is empty Yes, but Zhuang Ning has already been killed, which means that the burden of military supplies for our bandit suppression army falls on me, on the treasury, and that will make things worse. In addition, if the government treasury is rectified based on the reputation of the Prime Minister's Office , It will bring panic to the whole province, it is tantamount to making enemies with all the great clans of Wushuang."

After a pause, Zhang Ye said again: "If we don't take over the treasury with the reputation of the Inner Minister's Office, we don't have to worry about military supplies. Zhuang Ning will find a way to spit out the previous corruption to make up for it. This is to restore the country's losses. At a certain time Cutting off the confession and beheading Zhuang Ning is the reason for delaying the war in the central region, so it will not cause panic in the other thirty provinces."

Zhu Jin said: "Master Xiang cares about the country and the people, and plans strategies. Zhu Jin admires him. No wonder my sister Julie has always been disobedient, but she only admires Master Xiang."

Zhang Yedao: "I'm just like you, I'm just a vulgar savage, how can I be so smart, this is all planned by my Jiabao girl."

#￥Zhu Jin was depressed.She is a woman after all, although she is not as soft and beautiful as sister Nai, at least she is pretty, but now she is good, and she is called a city vulgar barbarian by the commander...

Another week passed, and all aspects were stable. During this period, Zhang Ye practiced "small retreat" for the first time since he left the underground palace.

Before comprehending the miraculous Taixuan Shangjue, plus the previous purification and strengthening of veins, this time I practiced for seven consecutive days, and the efficiency was so high that it reached an unprecedented level. In just seven days, I jumped from the previous position where there was a danger of loose pills. It has come to the middle stage of the first level of Jindan.

Zhang Ye himself was taken aback by this development.

Although going up is slower and more difficult, but Zhang Ye sees hope. If so, as long as he has time, he can completely condense the Nascent Soul Dao Body. If he can put aside his affairs, do not comprehend new supernatural powers, and retreat in one breath Five years, if you think about it, it's about the same.

But the world is not as perfect as imagined. Zhang Ye woke up after a small retreat. Changkong Biqing, who had been waiting beside him for a long time, looked very bad, and said worriedly: "Master Xiang, you have woken up. In the last three days, two days The border of the river is not peaceful, there is a small area of ​​riots, Lord Zhuang Ning urgently asked to see him several times, but because Xiangye is in seclusion, I dare not disturb him."

Zhang Ye frowned and asked, "What kind of commotion?"

Changkong Biqing handed over the document and said: "There are at least a dozen cities on the border of Lianghe, which have been harassed and attacked by bandits. There is no resistance. Master Zhuang Ning is very anxious. Please make a decision."

Zhang Ye shook his head coldly and said, "There is no need to make a decision, just ignore it. Zhuang Ning is not worried about the bandits, but worried about the concentration of our army here."

Changkong Biqing said: "I don't understand these things. But I think it's a bit unreasonable for Xiangye to let the empty city on the border of Lianghe be harassed and ignore it."

Zhang Yedao: "It's not that I don't care about it, but it's obviously a trap. When this kind of incident occurs, it's clear that the commander-in-chief is to divide his troops and garrison each city. That is the dispersion of forces. I think this phenomenon is very good. It just shows that the commander-in-chief Concentrating the Lianghe City Defense Battalion on the main city of Tanghe is a step on the enemy's sore spot, since it is not good for the enemy, let's continue to implement it."

Changkong Biqing said: "Will it really cause casualties in the city?"

"No. The bandits don't have that ability." Zhang Ye said confidently, "The real evil forces are concentrated in the area around the Tanggu Glacier, and they don't dare to disperse at will. At least for now, Lianghe Province, forty empty cities, It was just being harassed, not really attacked, and there were no major casualties. This shows that there is no need to worry about that kind of power, and there is no need to rely on the city defense camp. It is just the civilian masters in the city and the private guards of various businesses, which can make the bandits overwhelmed. Let’s move on. Remember, this is not only our official war, but also a civilian war, and they have great energy because they are fighting to protect their homeland.”

At this moment, bang—bang—bang—the earth tremors came out faintly one after another. In this form, the movement is not very loud and the frequency is very low, but it is unusually exciting, as if there is The drum is beating inwardly, and this vibration is coming from far away, deep in the heart of the earth.

People whose cultivation base is too low may not be able to sense it, and even if they sense it, they will not think too much about it.

In the lobby, Zhu Jin and Changkong Biqing, who were waiting, clearly sensed it, and they all changed their faces and said together: "What is this, it feels like some kind of huge sky-high monster, beating in the heart of the ground! "

"Demonic intent." Zhang Ye frowned.

Zhu Jin and the two waited, showing concern for each other, and fell silent.

It's been a long time since the legends about monsters have been too gloomy and terrifying. In the current cultivation world, no one has really fought against monsters. The understanding of monsters only comes from the records of ancestors.So no one is not worried about that kind of stuff.

"You guys go down, let me be quiet." Zhang Ye waved his hand, and then Zhu Jin and the two withdrew.
