Chapter 1153 Heavy Loss
The raging beast tide seemed to bring the wilderness back to the scene of the first year of Gaia.
At that time, wild animals were rampant in the wilderness, bandits and bandits could be seen everywhere, and refugees were running around, almost like a hell on earth. It was the emergence of countless lords who led the people to overcome obstacles, build their homes, and restore peace to the wilderness.
Five years have passed, and the painful memories have gradually receded.
The newborn children have even forgotten the war and are immersed in the peaceful and prosperous age.
Gaia sounded the alarm.
The turbulent beast tide raged in the wilderness, countless villages were trampled into ruins, the city fell, the people were displaced, and the wailing was everywhere, as if the doomsday had reappeared.
Neither the cold nor the heat can stop the herd from attacking.
In Liao and Jin provinces, groups of monsters braved the wind and cold, killing the flocks of sheep in the pen, and killing the gathering places of herdsmen. In the province of Morocco, the monsters are not afraid of the heat and are extremely ferocious.
In Yizhou County, a monster came from the sea...
In the province of Shu, there are monsters crossing the mountains...
It seems that every kind of terrain, every kind of climate, monsters can easily adapt to it, which makes people desperate.
Overnight, the wilderness changed color.
"It's just that this is not the first year of Gaia after all!"
After five years of overcoming thorns and thorns, the wilderness has become fertile soil, and the earthen nests have become city walls. The territory has a well-trained army and countless powerful combat players.
They will stand at the forefront of the fight.

Summer Palace, Military Aircraft Department.
After listening to the report, Ouyang Shuo said: "The order is passed on. Before the beginning of next year's spring, all military plans will be put on hold, and all efforts will be made to deal with the attack of the beast horde. A fixed camp must be established near each lair."
"Yes!" Du Ruhui nodded in response.
With the attack of the beast tide, the dynasty is bound to experience some turmoil and face a severe test.
The ensuing week was full of ups and downs.
In addition to the first wave of beasts, monsters will emerge from the monster lair from time to time, either a dozen scattered or in groups, constantly attacking the defense line of the wilderness.
The army attacked everywhere, strangling all the way along the trail of the herd.
Casualty reports from counties and counties gathered to the court like snowflakes, making the cabinet very busy.
In just one week, the Great Xia Army killed more than 30,000 people, and the civilian casualties exceeded 200,000. The direct property loss caused was no less than 10 million gold coins, and the indirect loss was even more immeasurable.
Such a huge loss is no less than a large war.
To Ouyang Shuo's relief, after a week, all the legions were in place one by one, setting up camps near each monster's lair to prevent further expansion of the situation.
In the next time, the army will clear up the remaining monsters scattered in the wilderness, and at the same time send heavy troops to station in the camps, ready to intercept the herd of beasts at any time.
While providing disaster relief, the cabinet actively cooperated with the War Preparedness Administration to do a good job in logistics support for more than 80 camps to ensure the supply of food and grass materials.
In the process, the role of combat players is not so dazzling.
The reason is that with the resurrection restrictions and the real-time update of the achievement value, players have become more life-saving. Every reincarnation means a sharp drop in achievement points.
Regarding this, Ouyang Shuo couldn't say anything.
Based on his intuition, avoiding battles for combat players is not an option after all. If you don't experience the tempering of blood and fire in the game world, you will have to pay the price in blood on the future planet of hope.
It is up to the player to decide which is more important.
It is even said that Ouyang Shuo has vaguely caught Gaia's real intention.
Not everyone is suitable to be a fighter.
The player chose the combat profession at the beginning, only out of the knowledge of the game world, and never thought that one day, this battle will be linked to reality and is closely related.
When the illusory veil is lifted and the bloody battlefield is faced directly, some people will naturally shrink back.
Similarly, in this process, Gaia will be able to select the real warriors, and the players who can fight to the end will be the main force to open up the hope planet in the future.
"Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest!"
The arrival of the beast tide not only changed the territory war mode, but also changed the adventure players.
…………
January 10th, Gaia Sixth Year, Summer Palace.
Inside the Wenhua Palace, Ouyang Shuo was holding a cabinet meeting.
The end of the year is approaching. In addition to deliberating and approving the disaster relief and reconstruction plans reported by the Governor's Office and the two major guards, this cabinet meeting also has several major issues.
First, finalize the evaluation plan for officials.
The annual evaluation of officials is the top priority of the court.
In view of the different dynasties and governance methods of officials, Ouyang Shuo asked the Office of Official Administration to formulate a data-based evaluation index, including political, economic, cultural and other indicators, to evaluate them so that the best will survive and the fittest will be eliminated.
Officially established the tenure system for officials, with a small test every year and a big test every three years, with three years as a term.
There are hundreds of thousands of officials in Daxia, so the Office of Civil Affairs is naturally overwhelmed. The main targets are Beijing officials, as well as the chief officials at the governor and county levels.
The difference from previous years is that Yushitai will participate in the whole process of evaluation.
Second, consider the sacrifice plan.
Ouyang Shuo was promoted to the title of Viscount, and the sacrifice in the coming year was neither a ceremony for a feudal lord nor a ceremony for a prince, but a gift for the highest-level son of heaven, which is naturally extraordinary.
The corresponding crown uniforms, etiquette and procedures must be overthrown and restarted.
The Construction Department is already rebuilding the ancestral temple, and the statues enshrined will be perfected into the Three Emperors and Five Emperors on the basis of the Yanhuang Emperors and Five Emperors to show the orthodoxy of China.
As for whether to invite other emperors to watch the ceremony at that time, the cabinet is still under discussion.
Third, review the Code.
The drafts of the "Civil Code", "Commercial Code" and "Criminal Code" have been compiled under the auspices of the Home Affairs Council, and will be revised and improved for the last time after the Cabinet deliberates.
Beginning next year, it will be officially promulgated and implemented.
Fourth, deliberate on "Yanhuang Thought".
In order to unify the ideological system of the dynasty, under the auspices of Jiang Shang, Confucius and others, the compilation of "Yanhuang Thought" has been in full swing, and the first draft has been formed.
During this period, various schools of thought kept arguing with each other. If it wasn't for Jiang Shang's mediation, the draft would not be released until now. Even so, the content is still quite controversial.
Ouyang Shuo's previous idea was a little simpler.
Wanting to unify thoughts and understanding is a more difficult matter than fighting for hegemony, and it can be done in half a year.
Fortunately, in the course of the debate, the ideas of a hundred schools of thought collided with each other again, and many dazzling sparks were sparked, attracting more scholars of a hundred schools of thought to participate in it.
Undoubtedly, this is another spectacle in the history of Chinese thought.
Fifth, make rituals.
The changes during this period made Ouyang Shuo unconsciously associate the game world with Planet Hope more closely.
It is Ouyang Shuo's ambition to break through the barrier between the two worlds.
The breakthrough point lies in the most profound etiquette in China, which has been lost too quickly. It is very necessary to formulate a set of etiquette that is not only in line with the tradition of Chinese civilization, but also suitable for the planet of hope.
