There was no other way; the livestock and poultry in the new military camp not only ate the grass from the Junior Master's fields, but also the grass from the Imperial Estate.

That taste...

Wei Shouyi could brag about this for a year. He had followed behind and gotten soaked in the rain that day. After learning about the wonders of rainwater, he went to Emperor Mingxi and asked to help weed the imperial estate.

Emperor Mingxi agreed on the spot; he had no choice but to agree, as the people on the estate alone could not keep up with the demand for the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the imperial estate.

These 10,000 new soldiers were considered relatively reliable and easy to control, a large and capable workforce.

As a result, small animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and sheep benefited.

"Please go first, Junior Tutor."

"Let's go together, let's go together."

After listening to Wei Shouyi's very professional explanation of animal husbandry, the group soon arrived at the training ground.

Ten thousand men stood in neat rows, their uniformity impeccable. Apart from the fluttering banners, there was not a sound. Putting aside everything else, their military discipline was at least well-established.

Yue Fuguang, without hesitation, walked step by step up to the much higher platform. The wind lifted her skirt, making it bloom like a flower.

At this moment, she remained calm, raising her eyes to look at the training ground. Her gaze swept over the massive army of ten thousand men below the stage, and she was not intimidated by their fully armed and imposing presence, which resembled the drawing of swords.

On the contrary, his gaze, imbued with supreme authority, caused all who saw him to bow their heads.

It wasn't that Yue Fuguang had a protagonist's halo, nor that she had an aura of dominance; it was all because she carried the item 'Intimidation' that she had previously purchased from the system shop.

She had already stocked up on the goods and was just waiting for this day!

As she looked at the audience, they were also subtly observing her.

The name Yue Fuguang had long been known throughout Dayan along with the potatoes that yielded a thousand catties per mu. Not to mention other places, in the prefectures near the capital, everyone knew her.

The soldiers standing in the drill ground knew a little more than ordinary people about the brand-new, gleaming armor they were wearing.

The incredibly sharp swords they wielded were among the best-equipped in the Dayan Army, and their treatment far surpassed that of other armies.

All of this, from the craftsmanship of forging weapons and armor to their clothing, food, housing, and transportation, stemmed from the demands of the nine-year-old Junior Tutor on the command platform.

She is truly second only to the emperor in the Great Yan Dynasty, above all others!

As everyone gazed at her delicate and youthful face, they felt an air of authority emanating from her, a divine quality they could not comprehend.

An urge to kneel suddenly appeared in my mind.

Despite being intimidated by the props, Yue Fuguang was completely unaware of her true strength at this moment. All she could see were soldiers looking at her with reverence.

I thought it was all thanks to the props.

"This official is as radiant as the moon."

Her voice was soft, and she didn't even raise her voice intentionally when she spoke, but even people standing a hundred meters away could hear her clearly.

She continued, "I am not here today on the emperor's orders to muster troops, so those who wish to withdraw may now step forward."

This official can guarantee your innocence and that it will not affect your future promotions.

Sanchadi doesn't seem like a good place to go now, and it's hard to say that some people there really don't want to go.

She would never force someone to do something against their will.

She waved the roster in her hand, but did not unfold it immediately. "You have ten breaths to consider. If you miss this opportunity, I will start calling out names. Those who are selected will have no chance to back out, otherwise they will be court-martialed!"

As Yue Fuguang finished speaking, the 10,000-strong group remained silent, seemingly calm as still water, yet some remained motionless with their heads and bodies still.

My eyes are constantly moving left and right, I wish I had an eye on the back of my head too.

There was no other way; it was a choice between two options. They were terrified that the Junior Tutor wouldn't approve of them and they would be rejected again!

So deep down I'm still hoping someone will quit on their own.

Most of these people were soldiers who were close to playboys like Wei Yan, Cai Bing, and Huo Sui.

They had personally witnessed how hard the young masters tried to please the second brother of that Junior Tutor.

Logically speaking, these people were of similar status, so it was unusual for them all to fawn over one person. After making inquiries, it was discovered that they were all trying to curry favor with the Second Young Master in order to get to Sanchadi.

With their limited knowledge, these people naturally couldn't see what was so great about Sanchadi, which was thousands of miles away.

But even fools have their own way of surviving, which is to follow the smart people. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as the path is right.

One day we'll find out why we made this choice.

No secrets stay hidden forever. The little tricks of the spoiled brats slowly spread throughout the military camp without any deliberate attempt to conceal them.

Some people want to follow the smart ones, while others are driven by herd mentality. So, among these 10,000 people, more than half genuinely want to go or are not opposed to leaving their hometowns.

Because it is said that the food will not be worse even if you go to Sanchadi, those who can't get enough to eat at home think that it doesn't matter where you eat food.

"System, sort the favorability ratings."

Yue Fuguang still felt that data should speak for itself. She didn't choose the strongest, but only those who could remain loyal to her in the future.

The initial impression data is very accurate.

Yue Fuguang looked at the fluctuating favorability rating on the system panel and smiled slightly. Putting aside the others, the last five remained completely unchanged!

Ten breaths had passed, and Yue Fuguang calmly gazed at the audience below, his voice still carrying a faint sense of distance and a subtle sense of pressure.

She doesn't intend to win people's hearts by being approachable; her people only need to respect her, fear her, be loyal to her, and follow her!

To reiterate, she doesn't make friends, she only accepts believers!

She said, "Since no one has chosen to withdraw, I will now begin calling out names. Ren Erniu, Fang Daping, Ge Sanqi..."

Yue Fuguang still didn't open the roster. Instead, he strolled around the command platform as if taking a walk, calling out one name after another.

Taking roll call is hard work, let alone calling out the names of five thousand people. For this damn sense of ritual, and perhaps the only time she would have direct contact with these people, she was really going all out.

After all, people personally selected by her will naturally feel a difference in their emotions.

If it weren't for the fact that no one could replace her in this task, and if she hadn't taken a health-boosting pill and a throat-soothing pill beforehand, she might have actually been writing down names on that thick roster.

Those whose names were personally called by Yue Fuguang in the audience stepped forward half a step as they shouted, their faces beaming with excitement and pride.

Yue Fuguang glanced at them. Not bad, some people's mouths were practically stretched to their ears. It seems that Second Brother and his playboy brothers' publicity efforts, both overt and covert, have been quite effective these past few days.

It is true that Cai Bing and Wei Yan were trying to curry favor with Bo Ming and wanted to go to Sanchadi.

But if it weren't for a few people deliberately leaking information, how could those ordinary soldiers have found out the purpose of the playboys currying favor with him?

It was all a calculated scheme they devised to recruit people for Yue Fuguang without interfering with their own affairs.

Whether to follow or not is entirely up to your own judgment.

They remembered what the Junior Tutor had said: "Don't play with fools."
