Chapter 299

On December 15th of the first year of Gaia, Shanhai City.

Twenty-three player lords from the western region of the Lianzhou Basin gathered in Shanhai City to discuss important matters.

No one was absent.

Ouyang Shuo personally greeted the lords in the teleportation formation.

The meeting place is arranged in the main hall.

Because it was a meeting between lords, Ouyang Shuo did not arrange for Fan Zhongyan and the others to accompany him.

The lords are basically still wandering in the third-level towns, and only a few have been promoted to the first-level counties. Seeing the bustling scene of Shanhai City, he couldn't help but lose his momentum.

After entering Lianzhou Marquis' Mansion, seeing such a solemn mansion, the momentum became weaker. Compared with Lianzhou Marquis Mansion, their lord's mansion is simply a thatched cottage.

Only then did they intuitively feel how big the gap was between their territory and the Shanhai Territory.

Some of the lords were out of the territory for the first time, and they stayed in their own territory before, and they didn't feel that they were a carefree emperor. He thought to himself, even if Shanhai City was promoted to a county city, so what, it is also a lord, and it can still be so bad.

Only after seeing the prosperity of Shanhai City did they know what it means to sit in a well and watch the sky.

The main hall has been properly arranged, and the maids shuttled through the hall, serving drinks and fruit plates.

After the Hou Mansion in Lianzhou was expanded again, under the instruction of Ouyang Shuo, Zisu, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, recruited another group of servant girls to maintain the normal operation of the Hou Mansion.

In the huge Hou Mansion, more than ten people are responsible for cleaning the court alone.

Because he didn't want to make the meeting atmosphere too formal, Ouyang Shuo specially invited a troupe to sing and dance.

To tell the truth, it was also the first time for Ouyang Shuo to see the performance of the local troupe, and it was truly magnificent.

Such a scene has already made all the lords dizzy, feeling in their hearts: This is the real life of a lord, and one-third of an acre of land is really worthless.

Ouyang Shuo sat in the first place, picked up his wine glass, looked around, and said with a smile, "Everyone is a guest from afar. You have no clothes and a little wine. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. I would like to offer a toast to everyone, please!"

"Please!" Everyone raised their glasses.

No matter what everyone thought, at least the scene was peaceful and lively.

Accompanied by singing and dancing, all the lords came and went, drinking wine and wine, and drinking happily, as if they had forgotten the original intention of this trip, as if they were really just here for a banquet.

Ouyang Shuo shuttled through the hall, getting to know the lords one by one.

Some people responded enthusiastically to Ouyang Shuo's overtures, while others responded indifferently.

The wine is so hot that half an hour has passed.

Seeing that the scene was almost the same, Ouyang Shuo waved his hand to signal the troupe to leave, and the hall was silent. Fortunately, there is no such thing as drunkenness in the game, otherwise it would be really difficult to end.

The lords trembled in their hearts, knowing that the real drama has just begun.

Ouyang Shuo sat back at the main seat, looked around, and said, "Today, I invite you to Shanhai City. Apart from connecting with each other, I also plan for the future of the Lianzhou Basin."

The impatient lord said directly: "The Marquis of Lianzhou invited us to come here. What do you want to teach? You might as well just say it. Why go around the corner."

"Okay, brother, please speak quickly, so I'll just say it straight. Since the Tianfeng Mansion was established in the Shanhai Territory, it is impossible to withdraw it. The conflict between the Tianfeng Mansion and your territories is not impossible to resolve. As long as you promise me a few conditions, I guarantee that your territory can rest easy until it borders on the Shanhai Territory."

The hearts of the lords trembled, the bottom line drawn by Ouyang Shuo already made them very uncomfortable.

"Haha, Marquis of Lianzhou can really joke. With the development speed of Shanhai Territory, it will only be a matter of time before we border on our territory. No matter what conditions you put forward, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"That's right!" Someone booed and said, "What's the use of being comfortable for a while, we are not ostriches, we can pretend that nothing happened."

"Brothers are refreshing. What if I can guarantee the interests of your territories after they are occupied?"

"The territory is occupied by you, and there is a bird's interest."

"How do you protect our interests?"

All of a sudden, the hall started to be noisy again.

Everyone said something to each other, venting their dissatisfaction, and they were all agitated.

"Everyone be quiet and listen to me." Ouyang Shuo pressed his hand, and waited until the hall became quiet again before continuing, "Everyone listen to my method first, and then it's not too late to make a decision, right?"

"Okay, then tell me, how can we guarantee our interests?"

Seeing that the fate of the territory being occupied is irreversible, some rational lords began to seek secondary interests instead of blindly booing.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Everyone plays "Earth Online" for two purposes. One is to like this game and enjoy the fun of the game; In the second achievement evaluation, increase your authority level. Let me say that, everyone agrees!"

"Yes, the territory is occupied, isn't everything in vain? There is no achievement value to speak of."

"That's right!"

"Wrong." Ouyang Shuo firmly shook his head.

"wrong?"

"Yes, I was wrong." Ouyang Shuo said slowly, "The evaluation of achievement value is not limited to the existence of a territory. According to this, how many lords in China initially had more than 10,000 will survive in the end. Those whose territories are occupied or destroyed, can’t they get a little achievement value? Certainly not. The evaluation of achievement value, in addition to the territory, also includes personal wealth, occupation level, etc., all within the scope of evaluation. Therefore , the occupation of the territory does not mean the termination of the achievement value."

The lords were thoughtful and basically agreed with Ouyang Shuo's statement.

"Marquis of Lianzhou, tell us your promise!" said one of the lords named Xiaomi.

She is also one of the few female lords among the lords.

"Okay." Ouyang Shuo nodded, and said, "As long as you agree to my conditions, I promise that after occupying your territory, you will be allowed to continue to settle in the Shanhai Territory. In addition, all the wealth you have acquired before will also be privately owned." Everything, I will never take a single penny. In this way, you can use this rich wealth to develop in the royal city or do business in the mountains and seas, it all depends on your personal freedom."

"To be honest, I believe you all have a deep understanding. The risk of running a territory is huge, and the competition among lords is very cruel. Among a hundred lords, not one may survive in the end. Instead of this, why not Instead of doing business, not to mention ensuring income in drought and flood, maybe it can open up a new world.”

After Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, the hall was completely silent.

It should be said that Ouyang Shuo had already shown enough sincerity, moved him with emotion, understood reason, now it depends on how they choose.

"Can you tell me about your conditions?" It was still Xiaomi who asked.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile: "Of course. In fact, my conditions are very simple, there are only two in total. First, the troops in your territories must accept the reorganization of Shanhai City, and they cannot recruit troops again. Tianfeng Mansion The security and defense of the jurisdiction will be taken over by the First Division. Second, the structure of your territories needs to be adjusted according to the unified structure of the Shanhai Territory. Of course, Shanhai City will not interfere with the appointment and removal of relevant personnel, and it is up to you to decide. The above two , only before the territory is occupied. After the occupation, I will trouble you to leave your own territory and settle in Shanhai City or other places."

"Don't the Marquis of Lianzhou think it's too much to deceive people?" After hearing Ouyang Shuo's conditions, some people were outraged.

"That's right, we are not soft persimmons, you can pinch it as you like."

"Also, how can you ensure that you can fulfill your promise? What if you don't admit it then?"

"If you don't believe me, you can sign a contract." Ouyang Shuo replied.

"So much the better!"

"What's the matter, a bunch of spineless bastards." Someone made a fuss on purpose.

"You!" After being choked by him, the lord immediately blushed.

Ouyang Shuo's eyes were fixed. He had already noticed that the lord who made loud noises had taken the lead in making noises several times. His behavior was very strange and he deliberately made trouble.

His face turned cold instantly, looking at the lord, he said in a cold voice: "I don't care if it's your own will or someone behind your back, I'm now officially notifying you that your territory is no longer under the protection of the Shanhai Territory. Pack your bags and leave!"

"You!" The man's face was flushed, as if he had been poked in a sore spot.

"Come on!"

"Hi!" Two guards walked in.

Ouyang Shuo pointed at the lord and said, "Please leave Shanhai City, this lord."

"No!" The guards pushed the pale lord out. He obviously didn't expect that Ouyang Shuo turned his face faster than turning a book, and he didn't give him a chance to defend himself.

Ouyang Shuo was quite generous and allowed him to leave in the teleportation array, otherwise, he would just wait and wander in the wilderness.

"Qiyue Wuyi, don't be arrogant, someone will take care of you." Before leaving, the lord said a harsh word to vent the hatred in his heart.

Ouyang Shuo didn't even look at him, and said to the other lords, "How about it, have you thought about it?"

The attack just now had an immediate effect.

The lords resigned to their fate one after another and agreed to sign a contract with Ouyang Shuo.

After signing the contract, the lords bid farewell and left.

Through Hummingbird, Ouyang Shuo immediately issued a military order to Shi Wansui, asking him to lead the First Division to escort the soldiers from the territories back to Shanhai City, waiting for reorganization.

As for the territory that made trouble, it was naturally occupied directly, and the prisoners were also escorted back to Shanhai City.

According to the final statistics, there are more than 12,500 troops in the 23 territories. Of course, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is a bit appalling, and all the equipment they use is the equipment given by the system when they change jobs.

The reorganized army, in addition to making up for the vacancies of the three master regiments, all the rest were incorporated into the newly formed city guard division, which greatly accelerated the formation of the city guard division.
