Su Lin did not know much about military scholars' thoughts, but he read very little military books. "The Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies" are one deep and one shallow, but they are the benchmarks for the thoughts of military scholars in the entire Tianren Continent.

"Let's go! Su Lin, I'll take you back to our Jian'an Village first. This trial is actually a microcosm of the state trial. At present, almost all the scholarly candidates in our Jian'an Prefecture are in Jian'an Village. However, when the state trial is conducted, the world space transformed from the Nine Dings will be much larger than this one, and the competition for the tripod will be even more exciting!"

As Hong Liyu said, he took Su Lin back to Jian'an Village. Jian'an Village is in the southwest corner of the central village, and the people in the village are all dumb and dolls with no wisdom.

"This is the ancient human village simulated by the Xinian world. However, because Ji Shanyuan is just a Hanlin Grand Secretary after all, and his holy power is limited, it is not easy to be able to transform such a world. Therefore, the people and soldiers in it have no self-thinking and wisdom."

Following Hong Liyu's introduction, Su Lin also found that the people here are actually no different from the plants and trees. They are just props for this trial, not real life.

"Hanlin's literary position, with the help of the horns of the ferocious beast year, can create such a magical illusory world. What if it were a great scholar and a semi-saint? Can we really create a nearly real world? No wonder novelists can use their wishes to imagine and create an underworld from nothingness..."

Su Lin carefully counted the troops in Jian'an Village, plus the more than 50 he brought, only more than 400. Moreover, Hong Liyu used a "Recruitment Order" written by a great scholar in the village to collect twenty soldiers every day.

If there is no other Wenbao assistance, according to the natural efficiency of the village people's transformation into soldiers, there will be only five soldiers per day.

"Su Maocai, you are here. The food in our village has been exhausted, because Brother Hong's efficiency in using the "Recruitment Order" is too high. This has led to a sharp decline in the number of farmers. If the grain output is not increased, the entire village will be in a famine..."

Seeing Su Lin arrive, a scholar from Jian'an Mansion hurried forward and said, "If Su Maocai's "Praise for Farmers" suppressed the village, the grain output would definitely be doubled."

"Also, Su Maocai! Write your poem "Yanqiu Ci" soon! The fertility rate of the people in these ancient villages is very low. If there is "Yanqiu Ci" to suppress the villages, the population will definitely double..."

Seeing this, another scholar hurried forward and said.

In this world of sunny years, the concept of time has been adjusted. For the people and village management, one day is one year, and crops can ripen one day, and newborns can grow into a middle-aged life in one day. These are the adjustments made by the Academy's Shoujishan to cooperate with the trials of the candidates. Before Su Lin arrived, Hong Liyu and other scholars had already used some of the Wenbaos he carried that would help the development of the village.

However, the effect is still not obvious enough. The same is true for other villages. Use Wenbao to accelerate the development of the village and flourish. It will reserve more food and troops to deal with the invasion of the Nian beast.

"Su Lin, the Nian Beast will launch a general attack on the central village in the Spring Festival ten days later. At that time, countless Nian Beasts will surge from the wild nests. We must be prepared with sufficient troops to capture enough Nian Beasts on that day and protect the village from being destroyed..."

Hong Liyu pointed to a village in the east and said, "That village is Jianning Village, led by Zhao Yi, and the troops are currently as high as thousands. In the past few days, after two rounding up the New Year beasts, Zhao Yi and the others have also caught five New Year beasts. And we have not caught one yet..."

"Thank you for your hard work! Li Yu! Don't worry, now that I'm back, let's leave it to me!"

Su Lin nodded, threw out two golden pages of Holy Power in one poem, and used the literary treasure brush and ink. He used the holy power to write the pen and write it into a book.

After a while, a song "Praise the Farmer" and a song "Goddess Ci" were formed, and Hong Liyu immediately made people stick it in the village. The changes were very obvious. The crops planted outside the village began to grow wildly, and you could immediately hear the crying sounds of newborns falling to the ground.

"Su Lin is worthy of being a poem about Zhenguo, and it is written by you, the original author. The effect is even comparable to the classics of some great scholars."

Hong Liyu was overjoyed. Even some of the literary treasures she brought were far inferior to Su Lin, a thoughtful poem that dominated the country.

"By the way! Li Yu, I will also write down the other two battle poems "Summer Quatrain" and "Liangzhou Ci"! Although it cannot be used for soldiers' battle formations, I believe it will have a lot of effects on recruitment and strengthening soldiers, and accumulate troops for our Jian'an Village."

Su Lin wrote and finished writing two more battle poems. The effect was indeed surprisingly good. The poems in the country remained worthless, and the recruitment efficiency of Jian'an Village instantly increased to fifty soldiers every day.

"Mr. Zhao, after Su Lin arrived in Jian'an Village, he wrote out all four of his poems about the country. Now the food and military strength in Jian'an Village are even better than ours."

Within a few days after Su Lin came to Jian'an Village, the strength of Jian'an Village could be said to have skyrocketed. Among other villages, only Zhao Yi from Jianning Village used many great scholars and literary treasures to compete.

Zhao Yi listened to the scholar's report, his lips curled slightly and waved his hand, "No hurry! Can you not catch the Nian beast just by having the number of troops and food? You must know that if you catch a Nian beast, you need at least fifty soldiers to encircle according to the battle formation to have a chance to succeed. Not to mention that on the Spring Festival, there was a raid of hundreds of Nian beasts. If you don't understand the military ideas and secrets, you will die as many soldiers as you have..."

The end of the year is getting closer and closer, and other weak villages have chosen to unite and gather their troops together in order to resist the invasion of the Nian beast and capture the Nian beast. However, in this way, when calculating the number of Nian beasts captured, their number will be further diluted.

In Sulin's Jian'an Village, there are currently 24 scholar candidates who have not been kicked out, but the troops are already as high as thousands. Because the soldiers here do not have the ability to think about themselves, Sulin organized each scholar candidate into the team for command.

"Li Yu, the Spring Festival will be in two days. Now our troops are thousands of, which is enough to capture the New Year beasts. Why not lead the team to the wilderness today and compete with the New Year beasts first, and have a clear mind in your heart to better deal with the New Year!"

Other villages will more or less lead teams to the wilderness these days to try to capture the Nian beast, but most of them return empty-handed and even suffer heavy losses. Only the scholars in some villages can catch several Nian beasts because of the powerful military strategist Wen Bao.

"Okay, Su Lin, but we can't be careless. We don't have military books and treasures in our hands. Although the number of soldiers is over 10,000, the combat power and momentum are greatly reduced."

Hong Liyu nodded, and immediately summoned the other scholar candidates and led thousands of soldiers to march towards the wilderness and capture the New Year beast.

The world of Xi Nian is a reshaping of the ancient wilderness. The sun is hot and the night is cold. In the wilderness, there are almost no deserts without any grass. Moreover, in this wilderness, only the ferocious beast "Nian" exists.

Su Lin was lucky on his way to Jian'an Village before, and he never encountered the New Year beast. Because the New Year beasts are not in groups on weekdays, and they are introverted, they will only invade and rush towards the human villages during the New Year.

"Li Yu, I heard that there were ferocious beasts and auspicious beasts in ancient times. They were all born from the condensation of corresponding thoughts between heaven and earth. For example, Qilin is a benevolent beast, which is condensation of thoughts of benevolent, and can sense the birth of a saint. It is said that on the night when the saint Confucius was born, Qilin descended to the Confucius Mansion Que and spit out jade books, with the words "The descendants of the water essence, who declined Zhou and the Su King, and were conquered by the wise."

After searching in the wilderness for a long time, he still didn't encounter a nest of the New Year beast. Su Lin discussed the ferocious beasts and auspicious beasts with Hong Liyu and asked, "So, what kind of thought will the New Year beast be born? If we find the weakness of this kind of thought, wouldn't we be able to easily subdue them?"

Along the way, Su Lin was thinking about using military strength and other strength to capture the Nian Beast, which is always a path. Since this is a world of thought, Su Lin considered deeply analyzing the ideological weaknesses represented by the Nian Beast and planned to subdue them from this aspect.

"Auspicious beasts and ferocious beasts came into being based on corresponding ideas. However, except for a very small number, the ideas they represent are hard to know. Because auspicious beasts and ferocious beasts are often hidden in the void or the depths of the wilderness, and will only come to the world at a specific opportunity..."

Hong Liyu shook his head and said, "And this Nian Beast is said to have been exterminated by human powers in ancient times. Now we can only find the corpses of some Nian Beasts. No one can figure out what the Nian Beast represents."

"That's a bit tricky. If you can't figure out the ideas represented by the Nian Beasts, you can't subdue them with your thoughts. It seems that you still have to rely on brute force..."

As soon as Su Lin finished speaking, suddenly, after the wild hills ahead, a roar of beasts erupted, and the entire ground was shaken.

"I met it, it was the Nian Beast... Su Lin, this was the Nian Beast's roar, right behind the sand dune, but... it seemed that someone had already angered the Nian Beast first..." Hong Liyu said in surprise.
