Chapter 567 The Auction Arrived as Scheduled

On the afternoon of January 1st in the third year of Gaia, the Southern Border Protectorate.

Ouyang Shuo, together with Zheng He, the captain of the Nanyang Navy who just took office, and Du Ruhui, the director of military affairs who came back from the Mulan Fortress, had a private conversation all afternoon in his study.

The matter of discussion was exactly the "Great Voyage Plan" that Ouyang Shuo had been planning.

In the first half of Gaia's three years, the territory will focus on the development of internal affairs, consolidate the foundation of the territory once again, and no longer launch foreign wars.

During this time, it was also the time for Honglu Temple led by Zhang Yi to perform.

As for Ouyang Shuo, he turned his gaze to the boundless deep sea.

Previously, the grand voyage plan that Ouyang Shuo had conceived was just an idea.

After successively obtaining the "Ming Dynasty Gunpowder Manufacturing Technical Manual", the navigation BUFF, and the master navigator Zheng He, this plan can finally be put into practice.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to expand his territory's leading position in the China region to a point where Di Chen and others could not match. Even if they exchanged a large amount of gold coins with their actual achievement points this time, they would not be able to give Shanhai City an overwhelming advantage.

During Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, the farthest he could see was the African continent. However, Ouyang Shuo's gaze was directed to Britain in the European continent.

There, Ouyang Shuo will complete a great trade.

It has to be said that Ouyang Shuo's thoughts are very crazy. Even Zheng He, who often travels to the West, heard his blood boil again, and the value of [Loyalty] soared by 10 points.

For Zheng He, the sea is his destiny.

Ouyang Shuo only put forward a general idea, the specific plan and preparation work will be led by Zheng He, with the full cooperation of the Military Affairs Department.

It is precisely this that requires the full cooperation of Zheng He and Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui will hand over the reorganization of the army to the deputy director Zhao Kuo to take full responsibility. Next, Du Ruhui's job is to cooperate with Zheng He to complete this great voyage plan.

The three of them discussed until late at night before giving up.

***********

Accompanied by Du Ruhui the next day, Zheng He left Shanhai City to inspect the bases of the three major fleets and make preparations for the grand voyage plan.

Sailing, especially ocean voyages, has never been easy.

From the construction of warships, the recruitment and training of sailors, to the preparation of materials and personnel, to the formation of the expedition fleet, everything is not a matter of one day.

However, seeing that winter is approaching, the fleet must set sail as soon as possible.

Along the coast of China, the northeast monsoon will blow in winter, which can smoothly send the fleet to the Indian Ocean. Once the winter monsoon is missed, the fleet is almost impossible to travel.

Therefore, in the era of warships driven by steam, ocean voyages must be done in accordance with the seasons.

...

At the same time, Ouyang Shuo took 100,000 gold coins and went to the capital accompanied by his personal guards.

The shadow guards under Shanhaiwei had also been deployed in Kyoto early. Cui Tianqi, the commander of the shadow guards, went to the capital in person to secretly protect Ouyang Shuo.

Obviously, no one wants the assassination incident last year to repeat itself.

As for Song Jia, she will stay in Shanhai City and preside over the preparations for their wedding.

Ouyang Shuo's status is extraordinary, his marriage is naturally very different from ordinary people's marriage, and has great significance. Just like this, the things that need to be prepared are also extremely complicated.

For this reason, the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion also temporarily added a lord's marriage preparation department.

Jiang Shang personally took charge of this department.

The specific work is in charge of the Department of Culture under the Department of Science, Education, Culture and Health.

The entire process and etiquette of the wedding were controlled by Jiang Shang and Director of Culture and Education Xu Shuda.

This time, the Finance Department was also exceptionally generous, allocating 100,000 gold coins for the wedding at one time.

The wedding date is set on the second day of the first month of the lunar calendar, that is, February 4th of the third year of Gaia.

...

Using [Praying Silver Building], it consumed 100,000 gold coins at once. In desperation, in order to reduce the burden on the Finance Department, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to cut his auction expenses again.

One hundred thousand gold coins, Ouyang Shuo really couldn't imagine what effect it would have.

Even so, go, still go.

This auction is bound to be a stormy event, how could Ouyang Shuo miss it.

Kyoto is still bustling.

The difference is that in the city, there seems to be an increasingly strong smell of rich and powerful.

[Rising Family] is already slowly affecting the atmosphere in the royal city.

According to the forum, some players have already received related tasks in Wangcheng, and it is not known whether it is true or not.

Unlike previous years, because the super trading platform was cancelled, there was no sales channel for the messy items obtained by players through missions, adventures, or adventures.

The wisdom of players is endless. Some clever players, taking advantage of the east wind of the auction, set up booths in front of the Kyoto auction house.

As far as the eye can see, the entire Central Avenue is filled with the sound of hawking.

Since the birth of the super trading platform, such a lively stall scene has been rare.

Ouyang Shuo walked on Central Avenue under the protection of his personal guards, and he was full of interest. Such scenes reminded him of the various experiences of visiting the stalls in his previous life.

At that time, he hoped again and again that he could find a piece of high-quality and cheap equipment at the booth. The reason is that there are dozens of gold coins left, or even a few gold coins.

However, time and time again, he returned disappointed.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo had mixed feelings. Taking this opportunity, he could relive his old dreams.

I saw Ouyang Shuo looking at one booth after another, shaking his head and nodding from time to time. For the current Ouyang Shuo, how could ordinary objects fall into his eyes? !

Even though the central street was full of people, Ouyang Shuo and his party were still the most dazzling existence. A hundred of the most powerful personal guards are enough to make other players flinch.

Soon, some players recognized Ouyang Shuo.

"It's Marquis of Lianzhou!" A sharp-eyed passerby said.

"It's really him, it's too boring, he actually went to the stall like us." Passerby B was jealous.

"So handsome~~~" A brainless nympho girl.

Because of Ouyang Shuo's appearance, the whole street became more and more ebullient.

Ouyang Shuo, however, had a calm expression.

The personal guard led by Chen Dameng is enough to ensure that no one can get close to Ouyang Shuo.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo still leisurely strolled around the stalls.

It's just that his identity was exposed, and the eyes of those stall players looking at Ouyang Shuo immediately became hot, and they talked endlessly about the "treasure" in their hands.

Who doesn't know that the person in front of him is a big winner.

Oh no, it's a big local tyrant!
