Chapter 367 Touring Lianzhou

The next day, all the members bid farewell one by one.

Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo prepared a small gift.

Ouyang Shuo hoped that similar alliances could form a routine and institutional arrangement. Next year's league meeting doesn't have to be in Shanhai City, you can also choose other members' territory.

Members take turns being hosts.

All the members left, only Xie Siyun and Lin Jing stayed. There is still a big business to be done between Shanhai City and Shangxue Meigui.

With the reorganization of the Longxiang Army and the Huben Army, a large number of outdated weapons and equipment were eliminated in the army. In addition, during the Battle of Lianzhou, the weapons and equipment cleared from the battlefield were piled up like a mountain.

According to statistics from the War Preparedness Administration, more than 100,000 weapons and more than 90,000 sets of armor have been sorted out.

This batch of equipment, even one gold coin, can buy two hundred thousand gold coins. Needless to say, one of the weapons and equipment is still a boutique.

It is roughly estimated that the value of this batch of weapons and equipment will not be less than 300,000 gold coins.

As the general distributor of Shanhai City, Shangxue Meigui naturally has to make a lot of money. Because the amount is too huge, Shang Xuemei will only charge half of the profit.

In this way, just by selling this batch of equipment, Ouyang Shuo can get back nearly 300,000 gold coins. In fact, this fund is, in disguise, the profits generated by the workshops of the four major armies.

Because the equipment is eliminated in the army, it needs to be replaced with more sophisticated equipment. Sophisticated equipment did not appear out of thin air, but was manufactured by the workshops of the four major armies.

The military industry began to shine and became the most profitable industry in the territory.

It was with this fund that Ouyang Shuo had the confidence to incorporate [Rattlesnake Mercenary Corps].

Ouyang Shuo had instructed the Finance Department not to withhold a single gold coin for the fiscal revenue in February, and all of it would be invested in the construction of the territory through transfer payments.

With the establishment of Lianzhou County, several large-scale projects started construction at the same time.

The construction of the outer city of Shanhai City, the construction of the Mulan Fortress, the construction of the road network, and the construction of the God's Family City were rated as the four major projects of the territory by the Construction Department.

The cost of each project is no less than 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins.

Among them, the construction of the outer city of Shanhai City is a bottomless pit. This unprecedented giant city, according to Wei Ran, does not have a year to complete even a framework.

After the completion of Shanhai City, it is estimated that it can accommodate at least five million people.

The government's investment is mainly the construction of infrastructure and public facilities, including the construction of roads in the city, municipal water supply and drainage, ports, distribution centers, bridges, parks, temples, bell and drum towers, and schools.

For this piece alone, according to calculations, the project cost no less than 200,000 gold coins.

The Hou Mansion will transfer part of the funds, and Shanhai Mansion needs to raise the bulk of it itself.

Wei Ran's approach is to sell the land, sell the land, sell the land!

Inspired by Wei Ran, Shen Zhui, the prefect of Shenjuan Mansion, will also adopt a similar fundraising model when planning and constructing Shenjuan City. The city of the gods is divided into the inner city and the outer city.

The inner city is completely built by the government, and most of the land in the outer city will be put up for auction.

Among the four major projects, the Mulan Fortress and the road network will be fully funded by the Hou Mansion.

Needless to say, the road network, which belongs to the public construction of Lianzhou County, should be paid by the Hou Mansion. The Mulan Fortress is a purely military fortress, and naturally it will not allow the inflow and participation of private funds.

According to calculations, the backbone network of the road network will take half a year to complete, and the project budget is 100,000 gold coins. It will take another three months to complete the construction of the Mulan Fortress, and the total cost of the project is 70,000 gold coins.

Basically, the financial revenue of Lianzhou County for more than half a year in the future will be invested in the construction of the territory.

If other medium-sized projects and huge military expenditures are included, in Gaia's two years, Ouyang Shuo was unable to retain a single gold coin from the fiscal revenue of the territory.

Maybe, Ouyang Shuo has to find a way to raise money to feed back the territory's finances.

The second year of Gaia will be the construction year of Lianzhou County, and it is also the most critical year.

Ouyang Shuo expected that after the completion of Lianzhou County, it would usher in an economic boom and become the strongest backing and the most reliable rear for territorial expansion.

In the afternoon of that day, Ouyang Shuo personally summoned Du Ruhui, Cobra, Viper, and the Big Three of the Military Intelligence Department in his study, announcing the relevant personnel appointments and dismissals.

Song San resigned from the post of director of military intelligence and became deputy director and head of the special operations team.

Cobra left the special operations training base and officially took up the post of Director of Military Intelligence.

Ouyang Shuo's arrangement was precisely to restrain Cobra within the Military Intelligence Department. The leaders of the three teams under the Military Intelligence Department are all Ouyang Shuo's absolute confidantes.

It is absolutely impossible for Cobra to start anew in the Military Intelligence Department.

Even if members of the Diamondback join the Military Intelligence Department in the future, their positions will only be under the three team leaders.

The establishment of the Military Intelligence Department was personally approved by Ouyang Shuo. For the time being, there are only three teams, and expansion will not and will not be allowed in a short time.

For a period of time, Ouyang Shuo hoped that Song San, Leng Qian and Lei Xun could grow rapidly under the guidance of Cobra and truly become giants.

In this way, the Military Intelligence Department is still under the absolute control of Ouyang Shuo.

So far, the four departments under the Military Affairs Administration, except for the Military Justice Department, have basically completed their lineup.

For the time being, the Director of Military Jurisdiction can only be held concurrently by the Director Du Ruhui himself.

Whether it is the Combat Department led by Zhao Kuo, the Combat Preparation Department led by Ge Hongliang, or the Military Intelligence Department led by Cobra, they are all worthy of Ouyang Shuo's trust in terms of capabilities.

Since Du Ruhui took office, the size of the Military Affairs Administration has more than quadrupled, making it the most important of the four major administrations.

In addition to Cobra, another member, Viper, will officially serve as the chief instructor of the special operations training base, and the position and treatment are equivalent to that of the brigade commander in the army. Under the Chief Instructor, five Deputy Chief Instructors are appointed, who are the same battalion commanders.

The special operations training base will also serve as a permanent institution in the army and be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Administration to continuously train scouts and special operations members for the army.

***********

On the twenty-seventh day, the seventh day of the first lunar month.

The Black Mamba led the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Corps] members and their families to move to Shanhai City.

On that day, more than 550 team members chose their respective destinations.

According to the final statistics, 113 people entered the Military Intelligence Department as secret agents, and 45 people entered the special operations training base as deputy chief instructors and instructors.

Seven people served as the squadron leader of the scout squadron of the division, and 15 people entered the army as battalion officers. One of the five core members, named Coral Snake, was awarded the post of Brigade Commander by Ouyang Shuo and joined the Dragon Ramp Army.

The remaining three hundred and seventy people will all serve in the Black Snake Guard and build the skeleton of the Black Snake Guard.

In two days, the Black Mamba has sorted out the basic structure of the Black Snake Guard and reported to Ouyang Shuo.

The headquarters of the Black Snake Guard will be located in an inconspicuous small courtyard in the official residence area of ​​Shanhai City. It will be mainly responsible for information collection, intelligence analysis, and interrogation of major targets.

Black Snake will personally sit at the headquarters and coordinate the work of the various intelligence stations.

The intelligence stations in the nine royal cities each have a commander who is responsible for the intelligence work in the area.

The code names of the Black Snake Guard are unified internally. Except for the leader Black Snake, the code names of the nine commanders are Red Snake, Orange Snake, Yellow Snake, Green Snake, Green Snake, Blue Snake, Purple Snake, White Snake, and Black Snake.

The rest of the personnel were divided into two queues, the Black Guards and the Snake Guards.

The black guards mainly focus on arrests by force, similar to the special operations team of the military intelligence department. Snake Guards sneak in in disguise and secretly seek information, similar to Military Intelligence Group 1 and Military Intelligence Group 2.

The Black Guard and the Snake Guard each have a leader, code-named Black Guard One and Snake Guard One, and the members under them are arranged in order according to this serial number.

The two leaders are the last two of the five core members.

The name of the leader of the black guard is Baimeibu, and the name of the leader of the snake guard is Zhuyeqing.

To Ouyang Shuo's surprise, Zhuyeqing turned out to be a female, a pretty girl. But from the eyes of the other members of the Black Snake Guard looking at Zhuyeqing, apart from fear, there was no trace of love.

From this we can see how difficult Zhuyeqing is. Weakness and delicateness are just the appearance of Zhuyeqing.

The status of the two commanders is below the leader, Black Snake, and above the nine commanders.

Ouyang Shuo was very satisfied with the efficiency of the Black Snake.

In the afternoon of that day, Ouyang Shuo distributed all the resettlement fees and Black Snake Guard's funds at once.

The Black Snake Guard officially began to operate.

Except for Ouyang Shuo, there are only four directors in the territory who know the existence of the Black Snake Guard.

This mysterious institution did not have any unveiling ceremony, and even the small courtyard of the headquarters did not hang any plaques, only a locust tree was planted in front of the courtyard.

In the future, this humble courtyard will be named "Huaiyuan", which will shock and terrify the world.

***********

February 28, the eighth day of the first month.

The stocktaking of eliminated weapons and equipment has come to an end for the time being. Next, Shang Xuemei arranged for members to transport the equipment back and forth in storage bags, and returned to Jianye for sale.

Xie Siyun and Lin Jing left Shanhai City.

After sending Xie Siyun and aunt away, Ouyang Shuo began to inspect Lianzhou County.

He will lead a team of personal guards, starting from the western suburbs of Shanhai City, passing through Yongye County and Guangshui County to Tianfeng City, and then turn north to inspect Shenjuan Mansion; then continue northward to inspect Mulan Mansion and Mulan Fortress. Leaving Mulan Mansion, he will turn south to Duanren City, pass through Yishui County and Gushan County, and finally return to Shanhai City.

The entire tour will take at least twenty-five days. At the same time, it also meant that when the elite groups from the three major guilds arrived in Yazhou, Ouyang Shuo would not be able to appear in Yashan City.

Ouyang Shuo has already written to Sun Xiaoyue, asking her to represent him and be responsible for receiving the three elite groups.

Except for the night of New Year's Eve, Sun Xiaoyue returned to Shanhai City to have a reunion dinner with her family. On the first day of the first lunar month, she had already rushed back to Yashan City to preside over the construction of Yashan City.
