White mist slowly emerges on the surface of the Danshui River, which is constantly covered with white mist every morning. Those morning mist, riding the gentle morning breeze, like a living white spirit, are expanding against the ground in its peculiar way of flowing, surging in all directions. After a while, Danshui City turned white everywhere.

Xiao Shizhu's biggest headache now is defense, and the two tributaries of Danshui, which is adjacent to the Gonggong State, flow from the northeast to the southwest into the Gonggong State. So that the warship sailors of the Gonggong Country, even if they only need to go downwind, they can reach the bottom of Danshui City in one day. In addition, the Gonggong State only fought the Toutou country a few days ago, and the relationship with the ghost mother country has been very tense because of the war last year, in case the other party comes back, it is very likely to attack Danshui City first, so the local defense of the Toutou country has become a big problem that cannot be delayed.

But Xiao Shizhu, who couldn't think of a good plan for a while, simply pushed this question to Wu Qiushou under the pretext of an interview.

"Uh...... Think about it. After thinking for a while, Wu Qiu Shou slowly raised his head and analyzed his head: "The country of Shentou is a small vassal state with only ten cities, and there are many rivers and mountains and ravines in the country. On both sides of the river, the terrain was often narrow, so that the enemy could not put all his troops on the beachhead to win by numbers. As we all know, the communist army mostly used warships and sailors to conquer the world, so we can build dock forts along the rivers, and the dock forts are surrounded by deep ditches and high walls, and the internal houses are adjacent, and the four corners and the center are built with another tower and high-rise buildings. Or build the arrow tower on the hillside near the river, between the terraces, and place artillery fires on it. First, this can ensure that the crops in the fields will not be stolen or robbed by local robbers, and secondly, it can harass the invading enemy along the way, so that the enemy's attack can be slowed down, and at the same time, he will be tired before he reaches the city of Danshui. ”。

"The second is to guard the country with the people of the head, and give full play to their characteristics of having wings and being able to fly and attack and harass the enemy army at any point. Therefore, we should let the local demon spirits and the people, as well as all the human souls here, get on the horse as a soldier and get off the horse as a farmer. Wu Qiu Shou said this, took a deep breath, and said: "Third, in the fort along the river, a cellar should be built to stock up on fierce fire oil. In case of encountering an enemy ship, pour fierce fire oil into the river water and ignite it, burning the river to cut off its way to come and go. ”。

"On the banks of the hundred miles of the river, the army can attack and obstruct in any place; In this way, the enemy's logistics are cut off. Xiao Shizhu paced back and forth, and after quickly deducing his idea in his mind a few times, he stroked his palm and said, "It's a really feasible and good strategy." ”。

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu said to Hu Hui: "Go and invite Dongyue and Tanuki to come." Hu Hui hurriedly took the order and left.

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Shizhu turned around again, and asked if there was anything new to look at Wu Qiu Shou. Although it was the first time he saw Wuqiu Shou today, the cleverness in this guy's eyes was seen by him, and he believed that this human soul would definitely not have such a little ability.

"Well, there is also the Eyu army that trains the chieftains, teaching them to shoot from the air and use firearms. Wu Qiu Shou nodded his head and said: "Use other soldiers of the Xiao family army to train the local souls, so that the people of the ten cities of the country can become soldiers." From ancient and old ghosts to weak-crowned imps, you can go into battle anytime, anywhere. ”。

"Well, that's even better. Xiao Shizhu was amazed and said, "Maybe in the near future, I should apply this suggestion to all places under me and my wife." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hu Hui coming towards him with Tanuki Tianying and Dongyue. But after seeing that Tanuki Tianying's face was faintly sad, and there was still a little confusion between his eyebrows, Xiao Shizhu asked knowingly: "Tanuki is in a bad mood?"

Tanuki Tianying smiled faintly when he heard this, but he was very bitter.

Looking at Danshui City at this time, the outside of the city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is still the same, but the buildings in the city are dilapidated, and the corpses of the demon army are all over the field, and his heart is always not good. Anyway, those were his kindred. And the Xiao family's army was able to shell so accurately, thanks to the city defense map he sent to Xiao Shizhu.

And it was not his willingness to kill Danzhu, if Danzhu did not listen to persuasion, he would not be willing to cooperate with the enemy country and bear the reputation of a traitor.

For a while, chagrin and sadness were entangled, and Tanuki Tianying turned into confusion in his heart, making him wonder where he should go in the future, and how to face his own people?

"I understand the sadness, and I allow you to be uncomfortable. Xiao Shizhu saw his inner entanglement and confusion, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, looked at the charcoal not far ahead, and said, "But you did the right thing, you shouldn't be confused." With his confusion and can't extricate himself, it's better for you to think more about your people, so I have a job for you. You cooperate with Dongyue to implement the system of raising the wounded and burying the dead for the people who were killed in this war, and restore Danshui City to its previous order as soon as possible. Workers, peasants, and businessmen have their own responsibilities to slowly restore the economy. ”。

"As for money, you don't have to worry. I heard that Danzhu has lived a poor life on the surface over the years, but in fact he has hidden a lot of treasures, and you take Xiao Jiajun to find them and sell them. If it's not enough, I'll transfer it from the Treasury of Shuoyue Island. Xiao Shizhu said this, and after a little thought, his eyes fell on Hu Hui's face, and he said: "Hu Hui, you also stay, find the ink masters lurking in the ten cities here, and find them all out." ”。

"Ghost captive, I will give you three thousand Xiao family troops, after a short rest, immediately march north, and attack Yingcheng from the north and south with Wu Zhiqi and Yu Rong. Xiao Shizhu walked up to Lu Wu and said, "Third brother, immediately send ghosts to the south and west, and persuade the remaining five cities to surrender." ”。

"The edict told the people of the ten cities of the country of Zhentou that from today on, the country of Zhentou will be renamed Zhentou County and will be under the rule of the ghost mother country. All the people of the county enjoy the national treatment of the ghost mother country, and are exempt from paying taxes for one year. The winter moon is the county guard, and the raccoon sky should be a long history. Lu Wu temporarily acted as the county Sima, commanded and managed the soldiers and horses here, and according to Wu Qiushou's opinion, he established a dock fort along the river and trained the militia. Hu Hui was the county leader, and immediately began to rectify the security of the cities here, and at the same time organized the Xuanjiao disciples to secretly arrest the Mo family arranged here. I see that this county is too guarded by the yamen, and it was built on the ruins of this Yuhua Palace, so as to announce the end of the Danzhu era. ”。 Xiao Shizhu said a lot in one breath, and after arranging everything properly, he took a long breath.

"Wu Qiu Shou, as for you?" Then he turned his head to look at Wu Qiu Shou again, frowned and thought about it for a while, and said casually: "You can speak well, and your ideas and insights are also very unique, but you don't know how to work hard? A few days ago, when I was wandering around Shuoyue Island, I accidentally walked into the yamen of the Criminal Department and saw those unsolved case files piled up, piled higher than a dog. Seeing that you have a lively mind, and you have worked as a quick arrester before your death, you should be no stranger to crimes, so you can go to the criminal department to be a man, and by the way, solve those unsolved cases. Shuoyue Island's existing headcatchers are all up to you. ”。 Xiao Shizhu inadvertently, not only discovered all kinds of talents, but also secretly made a big change of blood for the ministers of the ghost mother country; soon, those faint officials who were messing around with their money would be gradually squeezed out of the court by the new officials he promoted.

"Yes. Wu Qiu Shou didn't think about it, and responded in one bite. You can go anywhere, as long as you don't let him continue to go back to the Mo family.

"Work hard, and if you have good grades, I will be promoted to your official. Xiao Shizhu smiled at him as a sign of encouragement.

"Before that little one takes office, can you give a few more suggestions to the general?" Wu Qiu Shou asked after a little thought.

"Say it. Xiao Shizhu, who was on the rise, didn't want to put his head a little.

"First, China's official positions are chaotic and the grades are unclear, so they should be unified and subdivided. Appointments, dismissals, promotions and promotions should also be meticulous, and what things can be promoted and what things will be demoted should be listed one by one, so that officials have a spectrum in their hearts, and they are also invisibly given a goal and direction. Under their astonished gaze, Wu Qiu Shou raised two fingers and thought, "The second is the legal issue. China's legal system is simple and crude, and it explains everything by killing people to pay for their lives and paying off debts, which is very bad. It should be more nuanced. All the problems of the rule of law, as well as the solutions, should be enumerated. ”。

Lu Wu and Hu Hui were shocked to hear it, they were also considered to be capable ghosts in the underworld, but they had always ignored these problems that Wu Qiu Shou said, and only thought about how to help Xiao Shizhu expand his territory. At this time, Wu Qiu Shou's words made them feel a little ashamed.

At the same time, he was also shocked that Mo Zhai was also an ignorant master, and this kind of ghost talent was not reused, but it was really useless to be sent to lurk.

"Sounds pretty good. Xiao Shizhu also benefited a lot when he heard this, and nodded frequently to him to show praise. Then he rolled his eyes, walked to Wu Qiushou's side and hugged his shoulder, and whispered in the other party's ear mysteriously: "But it's useless for you to tell me this, you have to tell my wife; After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth rose and smiled faintly.

Wu Qiu Shou was not stupid, and immediately understood that Xiao Shizhu was giving him a chance to be promoted;

The suggestions I said were all within the scope of internal affairs, and they were all presided over by the ghost mother. It is much better to give them to the ghost mother than to give them to Xiao Shizhu. And with the support of the ghost mother, the implementation efficiency is much faster.

Wu Qiu Shou comprehended, looked at Xiao Shizhu and smiled, and said, "Yes." ”。

At this moment, a messenger ran over in a hurry and handed a secret letter to Xiao Shizhu. said that the ghost mother sent it in a hurry.
