Zhang Bai saw the opportunity and added: "Money and food are the foundation of the country. I understand this truth. But to gather money and food, there are more than three ways to increase taxes, salt, iron, silk, official business, and mint. You can also use loans, foreign trade, and speed up circulation. These are three new approaches.”

When Liu Ba heard this, he realized that this was exactly what he wanted to know and immediately asked for advice.

Zhang Bai didn't want to talk about it anymore, "These things are a long story. Why don't we make an appointment tomorrow? It would be better to invite the Prime Minister to come with us. Also, the reinforcements I mentioned today are only known to you, me and the Prime Minister. We must not Let the slightest bit of news leak out.”

Liu Ba solemnly agreed, "I will ask to see the Prime Minister tomorrow, and we will listen to Mr. Zhang's advice together."

"My lord, I'm too polite. I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it! Tomorrow, why not come to the Xuanhu Courtyard by Longdi Pond? It's very convenient to talk there."

Farewell to Liu Ba, Zhang Bai rode home.

Xuanhu Courtyard is very lively now.Except for Yu Ji, Titus, and the little crybaby Zhang Ji.Lingling and Senghui also came to live, with Tuflea waiting on the side.

There are also Sou people in the courtyard, commanded by Gong Dunyang and Jiao Yi. When there is no danger, they help the medical center and when there is danger, they serve as guards.Normally, Yu Ji would also guide them in their cultivation, and everything seemed to be in order.

Among the two wounded, Zhuge Qiao had already woken up. According to Yu Ji, what Zhuge Qiao had was not malaria at all, but vomiting and diarrhea caused by poisoning.

The Linghu book boy was already under supervision and was waiting for Zhuge Liang to come and let the two parties sign an oath.This kind of oath is called a master-servant oath. Not only can people and spiritual pets form a master-servant relationship, but people and people can also form an alliance through an oath.

After Zhang Bai cleaned up and had a meal, he quickly sorted out the trophies.Especially the broken sword. You know, if this sword can compete with Zhan Lu, it must be a treasure.

He found the scabbard of the broken sword from the fake Huang Yueying. The scabbard was engraved with simple but somewhat strange patterns. There were two seal characters looming in the middle of the pattern, "Destroy the Soul."

Looking closely at the blade, the blackened edge shows how much blood has been soaked in it.The sword is also engraved with subtle patterns. At first glance, it looks as simple as an ancient sword. If you look closer, you can see that there are countless small characters mixed in the patterns.

Put these small characters together, it turns out to be an article, starting with four words, "Lick the blood and build the soul."

After the title, there is a line of small words: The broken sword can destroy the soul. If you travel at night, you will not encounter evil spirits.

Zhang Bai thought for a while and probably called this sword the Soul-Destroying Sword!The so-called licking blood was guessing whether it was something like dripping blood to identify the owner, so he cut his finger and tried it.

A drop of blood fell on the blade of the sword silently. It seemed that he did not recognize his master in this way.

Another drop of blood fell on the scabbard.

This time there was a reaction, a thin line of black energy came out of the scabbard, connected with Zhang Bai's fingers, and then the black energy gradually dissipated.

Zhang Bai's eyes widened. Does this count as recognizing the master?He quickly read the article on the sword blade carefully.

This turned out to be a text about practicing magic.

This technique is called the "Soul Substitute Casting" technique.It is a technique that uses five items: consciousness, soul, living being, dream world, and spiritual objects to create a new soul.

This technique is very complicated and has many steps, roughly divided into three parts.

The first part is to prepare materials, which includes soul materials and body materials.

The soul material is any one of the five items: consciousness, soul, living being, dream world, and spiritual object.

The body is the device on which the soul is placed. It can be any movable object. Huang Yueying's puppet is one of the more exquisite ones.

Zhang Bai had no choice but to use Huang Zhan's body to lure Huang Yueying, which was essentially a similar operation, but the shape was very rough and not easy to manipulate.

After the materials are prepared, enter the second stage of soul casting.

It is to refine the soul body materials into the real soul body. This process is the key.

The third stage is called body casting, which is the process of placing the soul into the body.

After these three stages, a sophisticated stand-in can be produced.But this is not the end, because at this point, the substitute is only alive, and its own strength still needs to be improved every day in order to be further nourished and improved.

Zhang Bai possesses nine consciousnesses, two shikigami, and a spiritual pet. He pays special attention to the second stage of soul casting. Because different soul materials are used, the effects of soul casting are very different.

Among the five materials: consciousness, soul, living beings, dream world, and spiritual objects.It is cruel to use souls and living creatures to cast souls, because both are similar to killing.

Needless to say, souls, the so-called creatures are actually living people or living animals and spiritual pets. Zhang Bai's shikigami and spiritual pets pigs all fall into this category.

Once a soul is forged from a living being, it is equivalent to letting the soul move and change its body. The pain involved is unimaginable.

For example, the Bull Puppet seems to use a cow as a living creature to cast its soul. The creature is killed first, and then the soul is moved into the Bull Puppet's body.

The four-handed puppet who imprisoned the real Huang Yueying was different. It could be seen that the fake Huang Yueying did not want to kill the real Huang Yueying, but just wanted to imprison her.

When Yu Ji carefully inspected the puppet, he once discovered a mechanism inside the puppet. This mechanism was full of spiritual power and was shaking slightly, but Yu Ji did not understand what it was used for.

Zhang Bai also saw it at the time. Listening to the sound, his first impression was that it was probably not a clock!

But when you look at it, it's not. Instead, it looks like a spiritual weapon that makes a sound like a clock. It looks like a small copper bell, but the sound is made of wood. There is a wooden pendulum inside, which keeps clicking. Watch the clock wall.

The clock was very small, only about the size of a palm, so Zhang Bai kept it in the Chongsheng Tower.

The real Huang Yueying was imprisoned for a long time, but not only was her life not injured, but she also didn't look much older and still looked like a girl.

Therefore, this four-handed puppet seems to use living creatures to build its soul, but in fact it uses both living creatures and spiritual objects, which is very special.

Only at this time did Zhang Bai truly feel that the fake Huang Yueying had really mastered the skills of making puppet doubles.

As for the wooden cat, it seems that its soul is completely cast with divine consciousness. According to the records of the Soul-Destroying Sword, soul-casting with divine consciousness is the simplest and most harmless method. The divine consciousness after the soul is cast is not only a part of itself, but also has With a little bit of ontological consciousness, he is the most perfect soul-casting substitute.

However, spiritual consciousness is not an independent individual after all. As long as the body dies, this cast soul will also disappear at the same time.This is why once Huang Yueying died, Wooden Cat's body became empty.

Finally, the method of casting souls from the dream world was used. In addition to living things, the wooden cow also used this method.

Obviously, the predecessor of this wooden cow was definitely not an ordinary cow. It was probably a spiritual pet with aura, so it also had a dream world. Therefore, after being killed, both the soul and the dream world were retained.

The advantage of casting souls in the dream world is that it does not kill animals, and the materials are relatively easy to find. The disadvantage is that the dream world is not a soul, and its intelligence is relatively low.

Moreover, the body that controls the avatar will be damaged accordingly as the avatar is injured.
