Chapter 461: The Era of Great Navigation

[PS: Add another update. 】

In addition to adventure players, Ouyang Shuo will treat lord players equally.

Even if it is a coastal territory, if he wants to buy warships from Shanhai City in the future, Ouyang Shuo will not refuse. He wants to increase the strength of the naval forces in the entire China region from the very beginning to prepare for the future national war.

As for whether this will increase the strength of the navy in the coastal territory in a disguised form, and thus pose a threat to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo is not afraid.

It's not because of Ouyang Shuo's hypocrisy, nor how great he is. Anyone with a high vision can always give up some visible benefits to obtain invisible benefits.

With the expansion of the territory, Ouyang Shuo became more and more confident. His eyes have gradually moved away from the three-acre land of the territory, and began to pay attention to the pattern of the entire China region.

If you stand tall, you will naturally see far.

Strengthening oneself is always more realistic and reliable than suppressing opponents. It is also time to put some pressure on the Yashan Fleet and the Beihai Gulf Fleet.

Ouyang Shuo is confident that Shanhai City can secure its position as the maritime hegemony in China.

According to Cai Mao's secret letter to Ouyang Shuo, the performance of the pyrotechnic evildoer in the first formation of the Yashan Fleet is very dazzling, and it can be described as rapid progress.

A navy general is slowly rising.

Ouyang Shuo believed in Cai Mao's judgment. Before the Yashan Fleet set off, Ouyang Shuo had passed the Military Affairs Department and promoted Firework Demon to be the deputy commander of the first formation of the Yashan Fleet, only under Cai Mao.

When the Yashan Fleet returns from Jiaozhou Port, if the Firework Demon performs well in this battle, Ouyang Shuo will authorize the Firework Demon to lead a naval formation alone and give him the title of Chief Soldier.

Island exploration, in addition to stimulating the shipbuilding industry, also promotes the trade of Yashan City.

Some of the rewards from the player's adventures are traded directly in Yashan City, rather than going back to King City to trade. As a result, a group of chambers of commerce were born that specialized in purchasing expedition items.

Among them, the biggest purchaser is 【A Silky Wisp】.

Relying on the resources of Wuzhi Mountain and the island, the problem of rare materials was finally solved. The guild is heading towards the fast lane under the leadership of the Bingshan Goddess Emotional Silk Button.

At least 10% of the consumption of adventure players in Yashan City will go into the wallet of [A Silky Wisp]. Whether it is medicine, equipment, special food, backpacks, etc., as long as adventure players need, there is nothing that cannot be produced, and naturally they will make a lot of money.

In addition, because [Silk Wisp] is the first batch of guilds to enter Yashan City, the shops and locations it buys are all excellent choices, and the business will not be successful.

Not to mention other things, with the prosperity of Yashan City, the prices of the major shops in [A Silky Wisp] have already doubled. Of course, Qingsikou would not be so stupid as to sell the shop.

All the above are enough to prove that Ouyang Shuo has fulfilled his promise to [A Silky Wisp] at the beginning.

Of course, there is a win-win cooperation between Yashan City and [Silk Wisp].

The rise of [A Silky Wisp] is undoubtedly the biggest irony to Xing Zhezhichen and others. Some people have already predicted that within a year, [Silk Wisp] will return to the top ten guilds.

In contrast, Xingzhe Zhichen's [Star Alliance] had a hard time.

With the secret support of Shanhai City, Jiyinghu's [Shadow Alliance] and Meng Yuntunding's [Yimenglou] took advantage of the chaos to rise up, and gradually formed a rivalry with [Sword Qi] and [Star Alliance] .

At this time, Kyoto is no longer the dominant one, but the top four contending for hegemony.

The growth of [Star Alliance] has been greatly suppressed. If Dichen had not extended a helping hand to Xingzhe Zhichen at a critical moment, the [Star Alliance] would have ceased to exist.

In other words, the capital at this time has become a battleground for Di Chen and Ouyang Shuo. The two each supported the two guilds and fought in the arena in the capital, stirring up the situation.

The glorious [Star Alliance] was completely reduced to a pawn.

With the rise of player trade, Yashan City has gradually become a city of trade.

The development of Yashan City is enough to prove Ouyang Shuo's original strategic vision. The development potential of the island city has made other coastal lords jealous.

Ouyang Shuo heard that Xiongba had already made his plan to Yizhou Island. There are many people who have the same idea as Xiongba, and among them is Xunlong acupuncture point.

As another island with the same reputation as Qiongzhou Island, after seeing the gold-absorbing ability of Yashan City, it immediately became a sweet pastry, and everyone wanted to take a bite.

Even Ouyang Shuo had thoughts on this.

It's just that Shanhai City is too busy to take care of itself now, and has no time to launch a war against Yizhou Island.

I just don't know whether Yizhou Island will eventually be fought for hegemony by heroes, or will fall into the pocket of some lord. However, no matter who occupies Yizhou Island, Ouyang Shuo will take it sooner or later.

That's how domineering!

Ouyang Shuo raised his head, looked at Yingyou, and continued, "Besides, the Department of Commerce has to start building a sea freight fleet to completely break through the maritime trade barriers between the three counties, and activate the trade through commodity exchanges between counties and counties. territorial economy."

Ouyang Shuo also has another purpose in forming a sea cargo fleet, which is to lay a solid foundation for future ocean trade, train relevant talents, and accumulate experience.

The next step is naturally to take Jiaozhou Port as an opportunity to open up maritime trade between Shanhai City and Lingnan Province. One more step, and Ouyang Shuo's goal may turn to Quanzhou Port in the royal city of Quanzhou.

Step by step, Shanhai City's maritime trade network was woven.

Needless to say, maritime trade is at the heart of territorial adventures. On this point, when Shanhai City was still a county seat, Ouyang Shuo had already started planning.

Ouyang Shuo's arrangement this time is also related to the upcoming third system update. It is now the end of August, and Gaia is three years away, and there are only four months left.

According to the usual practice, there will be another system update in Gaia every three years.

If there is no deviation in history, in Ouyang Shuo's memory, the third system update will have a very profound impact on the game's ecology.

Ouyang Shuo naturally wanted to take advantage of his rebirth and plan ahead.

With Yingyou nodding in response, the temporary meeting officially came to an end.

For the four bureaus, although Ouyang Shuo just chatted for a few words, if he really wanted to achieve his goal, he didn't know how much energy the bureaus would spend.

For other general matters, Ouyang Shuo believed that the four directors could make decisions on their own. Even if they can't grasp it well, there is still the famous Prime Minister Xiao He sitting in charge.

With this arrangement, even if Ouyang Shuo is not in Shanhai City, the territory can still move forward quickly along the path he planned, leaving other competitors far behind.

Ouyang Shuo was finally able to start his journey with confidence.

***********

When having dinner at night, Ouyang Shuo did not see Qing'er.

Although the Hou Mansion has been expanded several times, the tradition of eating together is still carried on. Although Ouyang Shuo became more and more ruthless, he didn't want to really become a loner.

"That girl Qing'er, why didn't you come to eat?"

"I know." Yingyou on the opposite side put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Brother, isn't he going to go to war tomorrow? Qing'er wants to rush to work overnight to sew the inner armor and boots."

"This girl." Ouyang Shuo shook his head, feeling warm in his heart, these two younger sisters, they didn't dote on them for nothing, they are both so sensible, so sensible makes people feel distressed. "Zisu, prepare a food box and send it to Qing'er."

"promise!"

"I also need to go!"

Bing'er, who was sitting on Ouyang Shuo's left, became restless again.

Ouyang Shuo knocked her on the head, "Don't go, don't disturb your sister Qing'er's work."

"Hmph, brother is a villain, Bing'er just went to see my sister, and she won't make trouble." As she said that, the little girl turned her head, with an expression of "I'm very angry, come and coax me".

When Ouyang Shuo saw him, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hey, I'm still angry with my brother. I haven't settled the score with you for drawing a little turtle on your husband's face last time." Ouyang Shuo turned up the old score.

When Bing'er heard this, she immediately put on a bitter face, not daring to show her temper anymore. This incident has become a stain on the little girl. Smart Bing'er, she shouldn't be so careless, being caught by her braid by her brother.

After the meal, Ouyang Shuo talked with Song Jia.

Since the fall of Tianshuang County, Song Jia has been staying in Duhu Mansion and never returned to Dongli Sword Sect. It wasn't until he learned that the members of the Song family had safely arrived in Cangcheng County that he felt a little relieved.

Even so, the girl frowned all day long.

The fall of Tianshuang County was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Song family. As a member of the Song family, Song Jia couldn't do anything, and she couldn't help but blame herself.

These few days, Ouyang Shuo was busy with government affairs, but he didn't have time to comfort her. Seeing that he will go out tomorrow, he doesn't know when he will be back, so naturally he needs to take some comfort.

"Jiajia, don't worry. The fall of Tianshuang County is not necessarily a bad thing for the Song family."

"Huh?" Song Jia was very surprised, and said with a wry smile, "Mu, don't comfort me."

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "You think I'm lying?"

"Then tell me, it's not a bad thing."

Song Jia's eyes were full of hope, she was like a drowning person, eager to grab a straw. She knew that Wuyi would never target indiscriminately, since she said so, there must be a way.

"Uncle's seizure of power this time, although he won, won't be easy. There are members of your family such as your second uncle hindering him, and the Ruan family and others are provoking and intervening outside. These unstable factors, with the fall of Tianshuang County, will all be destroyed. The smoke disappeared. This is the so-called "If you don't break, you can't build."

With the fall of Tianshuang County, Song Tianli completely lost the old man's trust. After this blow, the old man Song probably completely calmed down his desire to compete for the hegemony, and he can take care of himself for the elderly.

As for the Ruan family and others, there is still a debt to settle with them, how can they interfere with the Song family's affairs.

In this way, there will be no hidden dangers for Song Tianxiong to take over the power of the Song family. The only stain is that Song Wen, as the lord, has to bear the responsibility for the fall of Tianshuang County.

Song Wen has to carry this pot.

Fortunately, Song Tianxiong and his son were backed by Ouyang Shuo.

To be honest, Ouyang Shuo was also responsible for the fall of Tianshuang County, and it was the main responsibility. When the time is right, he will naturally compensate Song Wen.
