Chapter 215 Acceptance

After subduing Nian Beast, Elai left the back mountain and went to the Military Affairs Office. In the next week, he will cooperate with the Military Affairs Administration to complete the formation of the East Camp and the Third Brigade of the First Division. Ouyang Shuo has delegated the appointment of the battalions of the third brigade to Elai and Ge Hongliang.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo called Tian Wenjing, Director of the Department of Internal Affairs, to his office to discuss the mountain man affairs.

Ouyang Shuo asked Tian Wenjing to sit down, and cut straight to the point: "Rangoon, now that the territory is expanding, there is an urgent need for a large number of elite mountain barbarians to replenish the army and form a heavy infantry battalion. However, the nearby mountain barbarian tribes have been exhausted. , is unsustainable. In my opinion, it is time to go further, go deep into the mountains, contact more mountain tribes, and win their support. Mountain man is a huge fortune. Mountain man Policies must also be persevering.”

Tian Wenjing nodded and said, "I understand what your lord means. Starting tomorrow, I will go to the Xuanniao tribe and ask them to be intermediaries. I will go deep into the mountains and visit each of the mountain tribes one by one. I will send gifts to express the love of our mountains and seas." The goodwill of the county, and preach the mountain barbarian policy of Shanhai County."

Tian Wenjing really understood what Ouyang Shuo meant, and Ouyang Shuo felt very relieved: "Mr. Thank you for your hard work."

Afterwards, the two discussed the specific action plan and precautions one by one, and they didn't end this conversation until 5:00 pm, which shows that Ouyang Shuo attaches great importance to the mountain man.

...

The first year of Gaia, August 21st.

Invited by Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia and Song Wen came to Shanhai County.

During the Battle of Muye, Song Wen finally felt Ouyang Shuo's strength and influence among the players. After going back, Song Wen thought over and over again, and decided to accompany his sister to Shanhai County, hoping to discuss further cooperation with Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo did not hold any grand welcome ceremony, and directly brought the two of them back to the lord's mansion.

Along the way, although Song Jia was curious about Shanhai County, she refrained from asking. She came to Shanhai County this time and was already planning to settle down in Shanhai County. To the girl's family, she was a little shy after all.

The meeting hall is arranged according to the dignity, so it is not suitable for entertaining guests. Ouyang Shuo invited Song and Wen to the reception room of his office, and after being served tea, he withdrew.

"Brother Song is here this time, but he needs to stay for a few more days, so that I can show my respect as a landlord." Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.

Song Wen nodded with a smile, "I want what I want, but I dare not ask for it." He took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Good tea!"

"I didn't expect Brother Song to be proficient in tea ceremony, unlike me, a big bastard."

Song Wen waved his hand and said, "I'm not proficient in tea ceremony, but the old man at home makes good tea. When I'm free, he often takes me to drink tea together. Over time, I also understand a little superficial."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "Since that's the case, before Brother Song left, he brought me some tea leaves for the old man. It's my kindness as a junior. This tea is called Baihao tea, and it is also a famous tea in Guangxi. It happens to be near the territory. I found a wild tea garden, so I got this tea."

"That's good. You don't know, the old man is addicted to tea. It's hard to find good tea in the game. For this, the old man didn't miss me. You can be regarded as a great help to me." Song Wen's joy was beyond words, not like a fake .

As a child of an aristocratic family, Song Wen has extraordinary communication skills. During the Battle of Muye, he often chatted with Siege Lion and Xunlong Diagnosis to enhance their mutual relationship. Its intention is to eliminate the distance between the members of the Shanhai League and Tianshuang Town, remove obstacles, and strive to join the Shanhai League smoothly.

Not to mention, Song Wen's operations are really effective. After the Battle of Muye, Ouyang Shuo tentatively mentioned the matter of Tianshuang Town on the alliance channel, but did not encounter any major obstacles.

Coupled with the stubborn stone town that just happened to accept て砆, taking this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo formally proposed that he wanted to invite Tianshuang town to join the Shanhai League, and it was approved.

It is precisely because of this that Song Wen made this trip.

After accepting Obstinate Stone Town and Tianshuang Town, the number of members of Shanhai League reached eight at once, just equal to the number of members of Yanhuang League.

The aggressiveness of the Yanhuang League is also the reason why Ouyang Shuo made up his mind to accept the two territories.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo did some research before formally accepting him. If て砆 is a spy sent by Di Chen to the Shanhai League, then the fun will be great.

The result of the investigation made Ouyang Shuo feel more at ease. Combined with his previous life, in Ouyang Shuo's memory, he probably hadn't joined any camp, so he was completely relieved.

Song Wen came here this time, of course not to reminisce about the old days. During the Battle of Muye, he learned that Ouyang Shuo, the leader of the alliance, likes to set up a branch of the Four Seas Bank in the territory of his allies.

After Song Wen went back, he consulted with his father and grandfather on this matter. They all agreed that if Tianshuang Town wants to achieve corner overtaking, it must get external support.

The operation mode of setting up a bank branch in Shanhai County can be regarded as a way. Their only concern is whether Shanhai County has the financial resources to support the operation of so many branches at the same time, and whether the capital chain will be broken, which will lead to anticlimax.

Especially the incident in Luofeng County a few days ago forced Ouyang Shuo to pay 20,000 gold coins for Feng Prison Huang at one time, it was no secret. Therefore, Song Wen's trip also has the meaning of exploring the bottom.

In fact, just as Song Wen was worried, Shanhai County's finances were indeed stretched. Even the funds for this military expansion will need to be raised by suppressing bandits.

However, this is all temporary. As long as Ouyang Shuo cashes out the hoarded grain, he can immediately obtain a huge amount of funds, which is enough to support the continued expansion of the Four Seas Bank.

In order to reassure Song Wen, Ouyang Shuo disclosed the Langshan Mine to Song Wen. Hearing that there is such a gold mine in Shanhai County, Song Wen was envious and completely relieved.

Seeing that the two wanted to talk about serious matters, Song Jia couldn't sit still.

Ouyang Shuo naturally noticed Song Jia's boredom, shook his head amusedly, and called the servant.

"master!"

"Go and ask Miss San to come over, saying that there are important guests."

"yes!"

After a while, Bing'er followed the servant and walked in, "Brother, who is here?"

Ouyang Shuo waved to Binger, "Binger, come here." He took Binger's little hand, introduced her to the Song brothers and sisters, and then said, "Honey, take sister Song Jia for a walk in the territory, okay? it is good?"

Bing'er has lived in Shanhai County for almost three months, and she has long been a local snake. It is perfect for her to be Song Jia's guide. Song Jia knew that Ouyang Shuo had such a younger sister, and also knew that Ouyang Shuo was not good at this younger sister, but she never had the chance to meet her.

Seeing a real person now, she is really cute, cute and sensible, Song Jia immediately fell in love with her. Seeing Song Jia's expression, Ouyang Shuo smiled wryly and shook his head. No matter Sun Xiaoyue, auntie, or Song Jia, they couldn't resist Binger's charm. The little girl really had her own charm aura.

Binger nodded in response, and said sweetly to Song Jia: "Beautiful sister, let's go, Binger will take you to play. There are many interesting places in the territory, and Binger knows it all."

Song Jia's heart was full of joy when she called her "beautiful sister". Regardless of Song Wen and Ouyang Shuo, she followed Bing'er out of the office.

Ouyang Shuo and Song Wen looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Although he didn't have much contact with Song Wen, Ouyang Shuo could still feel that Song Wen really had a gentleman's demeanor, which made him feel good about him. Coupled with Song Jia's factors, Ouyang Shuo didn't hide his secrets, and shared his experience in managing the territory with all his heart.

In fact, Song Wen did not need advice on how to manage the aborigines, how to establish a territorial industry, how to structure the territorial system, and how to formulate territorial economic policies. The Song Consortium naturally had professional talents to advise him. What Song Wen needs is how to use the advantages of the base camp to increase the population of the subordinate territory in a disguised form; how to use game skills such as organizing folk activities to increase the cultural index of the territory.

Of course, it would be great if Ouyang Shuo could tell how to open up financial resources for the territory.

It's a pity that the Beimu Salt Field is the top secret of Shanhai County, and Ouyang Shuo will not disclose it. Besides, Tianshuang Town is not near the sea, so it's useless to tell him.

Ouyang Shuo did not forget to remind Song Wen to pay attention to the fluctuation of grain prices in the market. As a business family, the Song family should be more sensitive to the market. It's a pity that they are still not familiar with the game, so they can't predict food fluctuations like Ouyang Shuo did by considering the territory of China as a whole.

After listening to Ouyang Shuo's analysis, Song Wen's expression was serious. In fact, someone had already reported to Song Wen that the price of grain in the market has been quietly rising recently, but the increase was not large enough to attract Song Wen's attention. Now that he heard Ouyang Shuo's analysis, he felt the seriousness of the matter .

It was already the end of March when Song Wen bought Tianshuang Village. When he just took over the territory, he was at a loss and was busy familiarizing himself with the territory and sorting out the structure of the territory. Therefore, he didn't pay attention to such small things as land reclamation in the territory. By the time of Qingming Festival, when the first season of rice is sown, it is too late.

Therefore, Tianshuang Town's grain mainly relies on market purchases, and the grain produced by itself is very little. There was a small population in the territory before, so I didn't feel anything wrong. Since being promoted to a township and then building a subsidiary territory, the population began to grow rapidly, and Song Wencai felt a little pressure.

Now, according to what Ouyang Shuo said, if the food supply continues to rise, then Tianshuang Town's meager financial revenue will not be able to sustain it at all.

Fortunately, the two have reached an agreement on Shanhai County opening a branch of the Four Seas Bank in Tianshuang Town. The two parties agreed to officially launch the branch at the end of August, with an initial reserve of 4,000 gold coins.

The two didn't talk about things in the territory all the time, but also talked about some interesting things in life. During the chat, they also talked about some embarrassing things about Song Jia, which made Ouyang Shuo laugh.
