Chapter 221 Luring the Wolf Into the House

The negotiation was fruitless, and the members of the Tiandao League finally broke up unhappy and returned to the territory with their respective troops.

The black cloak who was forced to go up the cliff simply did nothing and wrote a letter directly to Dichen, promising that as long as Dichen was willing to send troops to assist, Yongye Town would be willing to be a vassal of Handan.

Handan County, Lord's Mansion.

Di Chen handed the letter in the black cloak to Fenghua Juedai, and asked, "What do you think?"

Fenghua Juedai took the letter, glanced through it quickly, and frowned, "This lord named Black Cloak has obvious intentions. He just wants to use our hands to protect his own territory."

"That's right, but this is also an opportunity for us, an opportunity to contain Shanhai County, isn't it? As long as this nail is nailed down, it's not up to us to decide what to do." Di Chen sees it clearly.

"The situation is unknown, so it's not good to act rashly. To provoke a lion, you must be sure to kill the lion; otherwise, you will be bitten back by the lion, or even swallowed." Fenghua Juedai's attitude is unclear.

Dichen frowned: "You mean to unite the forces of the Yanhuang League and act together?" The military strength of Handan County is indeed not enough to match Shanhai County, let alone wipe out the enemy. As for Yongye Town, it was not within Dichen's consideration at all.

Feng Huajue shook his head and said: "No, if the forces of the Yanhuang League are combined, then it is very likely to turn into an all-out war between the Yanhuang League and the Shanhai League. It is not yet the time to confront the Shanhai League head-on, the time is not yet ripe The competition between snipe and clam will only benefit the fisherman."

"Then what do you mean?" Di Chen was puzzled.

"It's very simple, we can't be this early bird, we have to find someone else." Fenghua Juedai looked cold.

"Kill Pojun?"

"That's right! Shapojun has long held resentment towards Qiyue Wuyi. If he introduces the black cloak to Shapojun, the two will hit it off. In this way, Handan County can completely stay out of the matter and advance and retreat freely. Regardless of success or failure , without any loss. Success, of course, is gratifying; defeat, you can also use this to explore the bottom of Shanhai County." Fenghua Juedai's move of borrowing a knife to kill people is a perfect game.

"Wonderful!" Di Chen was overjoyed, "This matter has to be well planned and planned, so it's enough to drink a pot without clothes."

Fenghua Peerless remained silent.

On August 30th, Shanhai County earned 8,500 gold coins in the second half of the month, plus the 4,500 gold coins captured by the first brigade suppressing bandits, and deducted the transfer fee, a total of 11,500 gold coins remained. The Finance Department dispatched an official with 4,000 gold coins to Tianshuang Town to set up the Tianshuang Town Sub-branch of Universal Bank.

Ouyang Shuo kept 1,000 gold coins as a spare, and transferred the remaining 6,500 gold coins to the Finance Department. As various projects draw to a close, project expenses must be paid in a timely manner. The allocated fee was far from enough. Ouyang Shuo also hoped that after the bandits were suppressed in the east, he would be able to capture a sum of money and subsidize it to the Finance Department.

According to the final settlement, the construction of the Southwest University Hall alone cost 2,000 gold coins; the five bridges in the city cost a total of 500 gold coins; the roads in the city are an astronomical figure. As for the three river-crossing bridges connecting Shanhai County, Yushui County, and Youyi County, the total investment is 1,500 gold coins, but there is no need to pay now.

With the increasing scale of brewing workshops and colorful silkworm breeding, the financial income has become more and more substantial, and can already bring in 500 gold coins per month; the interest income of the Four Seas Bank is also gradually increasing, and the benefits are superimposed. The financial income of Shanhai County The better it gets, the less and less special subsidies are needed. If not, the income from the Langshan Mine and Beimu Salt Field alone would not be able to support the rapid expansion of Shanhai County.

This round of infrastructure construction in Shanhai County has cost more than 10,000 gold coins. Ouyang Shuo also planned to start planning the official roads outside the city after the infrastructure construction in the city came to an end. The construction of official roads is a bottomless pit, and ordinary territories cannot afford it at all.

On September 1st of the first year of Gaia, it was another school year.

"World Announcement: The summer vacation is over and the virtual classroom is officially open. Students of the right age can freely choose whether to go to school, freely choose their own study time, study progress and study subjects. Each subject has an assessment, and the corresponding credits will be obtained if the assessment is passed. Credits The level of , will affect the evaluation of the student's achievement value. Please explore the specific content by yourself."

Because the player's body is frozen in reality, it is equivalent to time suspension. If students do not want to go to school, it will not affect the learning progress. Therefore, the federal government does not mandate that students must attend virtual classrooms, and the credit system is uniformly adopted from elementary school to university, and students have a great right to choose independently.

The virtual classroom is similar to the task space of the situational task, but the time lapse is consistent with the main map, and there is no acceleration effect.

Ouyang Shuo planned the study tasks for Bing'er. In the morning, he studied science and culture knowledge in the virtual classroom, and in the afternoon, he taught Chinese culture in the Lord's Mansion. He has already realized that the little girl has entered the rebellious stage and must be disciplined and restrained, otherwise, she will not know what rebellion looks like when she grows up.

Ouyang Shuo didn't expect Binger to achieve any kind of achievements when she grows up, let her learn Chinese culture, but just wanted Binger to learn nutrition from Chinese culture and cultivate a correct outlook on life and values.

On the same day, Song Jia selected 500 registered disciples from nearly 1,000 applicants. The overall design of the Dongli Sword Sect has been completed, and the Construction Department has arranged for craftsmen to rush to Gufeng to start the construction of the Dongli Sword Sect. Because of the rugged mountain roads, the construction of the project has become very difficult. Zhao Dewang estimated that it will take at least one month to complete the construction of the Dongli Sword Sect.

In desperation, Song Jia had no choice but to requisition a large courtyard temporarily in the mansion area, to house 500 registered disciples, and teach them how to get started.

Song Jia became serious, very scary. This girl now considers herself the head of the sect, and as long as it is about the preparation of the sect, she has to intervene and strictly control everything.

To create a sect, in addition to wealth, law and land, there are some specific issues that need to be dealt with. First, it is necessary to design the sect system and rank, and design the sect costumes according to the status and rank of the disciples. Second, prepare a batch of weapons for the disciples, mainly swords, and some hidden weapons.

The most important thing is to solve the sect's source of income. Whether it is the daily expenses of the sect, or custom-made sect clothing and weapons, it requires a large amount of funds to support it. Especially weapons, a high-quality refined iron sword cost at least 3 gold coins. Five hundred registered disciples, each with a handle, that is 1,500 gold coins.

The ancient sects either owned large tracts of land at the foot of the mountain and handed it over to tenants for farming, and the sect relied on rent collection to maintain daily expenses; or they owned restaurants, inns, brothels and other industries in the city, and dispatched disciples from outside the sect to take care of them. , the profits are turned over to the sect; or water transportation or salt sales are very profitable businesses. No matter how bad it is, such as the gang of beggars, through the begging of low-level disciples, they turn in layer by layer, which is also a considerable income. Worst of all, if you really have nothing, you can only do some activities of "robbing the rich and helping the poor".

What about Dongli Sword Sect? Farmland can be reclaimed at the foot of Gufeng Mountain, but no farmer would be willing to be a tenant. Because there is a large area of ​​wasteland waiting to be reclaimed in Shanhai County, who would be a tenant unless his brain is flooded. Besides the shops, the shops in Shanhai County basically have owners, and it is difficult to insert them. Besides, running a shop requires capital and talents, neither of which Dongli Sword Sect has. As for water transportation and salt sales, they are all controlled by the government, and Ouyang Shuo will not set a precedent because of Song Jia.

When things came to an end, Song Jia realized that running a sect was so difficult. In desperation, Song Jia could only use the big move of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" to steal 1000 gold coins from Ouyang Shuo's storage bag.

After all, Song Jia came from the Song family consortium, so she is very economical.

She knew that this thousand gold coins couldn't just be spent like this, otherwise, she would be sitting on nothing, and she couldn't just ask Ouyang Shuo for money every time. Ouyang Shuo bought the secret books, Ouyang Shuo chose the location of the sect, and the recruiting of registered disciples was issued in the name of the lord's mansion. The construction of the sect was also commissioned by Ouyang Shuo's construction department, and Ouyang Shuo had to pay for the project. If it goes on like this, don't say helping Ouyang Shuo, it's just adding to the chaos, Song Jia herself feels very sorry.

After thinking about it, Song Jia really thought of a good way.

As the saying goes, rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to eat water.

If you want to make money, you have to play Gufeng's idea, and everything else is unreliable. The isolated peak platform, the natural environment is very suitable for the growth of medicinal materials, whether it is medicinal materials that prefer yin or yang, you can find a suitable habitat. If you can build a medicine garden on the mountain, it will be a lot of money.

As for the sales of medicinal materials, there is no need to worry, the official medical office will always come.

After hearing Song Jia's idea, Ouyang Shuo supported her decision very much, and personally took her to visit Dr. Song of the official medical office and the manager of the medicine garden in the territory, and asked them to arrange someone to guide them on how to build a medicine garden on the mountain.

The medicine garden in the territory, because it is a basic building, is built in the western suburbs outside the city. The natural environment is harsh, and the medicinal materials grow very poorly, which cannot meet the needs of the official medical department for medicinal materials at all. Doctor Song had long complained about this, but now that he heard that there was such a place, he naturally fully supported it.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also purposely found Tian Wenjing and asked him to contact Shanman to ask Shanman to collect some medicinal seeds or seedlings and give them to Song Jia to complete the artificial planting on the mountain.

Ouyang Shuo used a lot of resources in the territory, determined to help Song Jia, and built a medicine garden covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 mu on the isolated peak platform.
