Chapter 605 Return of Zheng He
As soon as the decree to establish the princess was issued, there was a wave of waves in the territory.
There are those who are envious and jealous, and there are those who cheer...
The biggest cheerers are none other than the Cui clan. Commercially, buying Qing'er's clothing factory has already made a lot of money. Yingyou's canonization transformed the Cui family into relatives of the emperor.
The name of Cui's Chamber of Commerce, the imperial merchant, is truly worthy of its name.
For the civil and military officials of the territory, the successive appointment of three princesses represents the prosperity of the monarchy and the clan, which is the atmosphere of the prosperity and prosperity of the territory, so they are naturally very happy.
Common people, but some people don't think so.
As Ouyang Shuo's direct sister, Bing'er, a veritable little princess with a territory worthy of the name, was registered as Princess Xueyue Chang, so naturally no one would gossip. But Yingyou and Qing'er, the righteous sisters, are different.
Who doesn't know the old people in the territory, Yingyou and Qing'er, like other people in the territory, were born as refugees, and they were regarded as righteous sisters by the princes and nobles, and they were brought into the mansion.
In this way, someone is already jealous and gossips secretly. Now the two of them have gone one step further, being registered as princesses, and if they reach the sky in one step, the sparrow will become a phoenix.
Jealousy is inevitable.
It's just that the two have become nobles, and they are no longer free to comment.
Even Qing'er himself was a little uneasy when he was first registered. It was Ouyang Shuo's heart-to-heart that made the two sisters feel at ease and accepted it calmly.
For Ouyang Shuo, the appointment of a princess is due to the needs of territorial governance and personal reasons.
In the eyes of others, it was Qing'er and the others who climbed the high branches, but who knew how much help and comfort the two sisters brought to Ouyang Shuo. A few rumors, what is it.
...
This Spring Festival in Shanhai City is indeed very lively.
On February 12, that is, the tenth day of the first lunar month, a huge stone monument was erected in Wangcheng Square. The stele is nine meters high, five meters wide, and one meter thick. It stands in the center of the square and is magnificent.
On both sides of the stele, tens of thousands of ancient small seal scripts are densely engraved.
[Territory Law Code] The four big characters are even more eye-catching.
Led by the Minister of the Interior Wei Yang, with the cooperation of the Interior Administration, the Law School, and real-world legal experts, the "Territory Code", which took several months to compile and added and deleted dozens of drafts, was finally approved and officially finalized.
This stele is exactly the stele of the Code of Laws.
The moment the code monument was unveiled, it represented that the territory had officially entered the era of the code.
More than 10,000 copies of the Territorial Code have been printed. According to the deployment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all territorial government offices, including counties, prefectures, counties, towns, and even villages, must be equipped with more than two "Territory Codes".
The Directors of the Internal Affairs Departments (Departments) at all levels even have one on hand.
Schools at the county level must teach the "Territorial Code".
According to Wei Yang's original words, within three months, the people in the territory should fully understand the "Territory Code", follow the "Territory Code", and respect the "Territory Code".
Within half a year, the concept of law was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In addition, in order to accurately interpret the essence of the "Territory Code", Southwest University Law School will also offer a special class to study the "Territory Code".
The first batch of trainees are the directors of the Department of Internal Affairs (Department) at all levels.
All in all, in order to fully implement the "Territory Code" in the territory, Wei Yang has formulated a whole set of supporting measures, which is by no means a temporary idea.
The most successful reformer in history is really experienced in how to implement the code.
*************
This Spring Festival outside the territory is also not peaceful.
First, the exposure of the true face of Shanhai City caused an uproar in the forum.
Ouyang Shuo's popularity skyrocketed.
Only then did the players truly feel what the foundation is.
The number one lord in the world is worthy of the name.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Huitong Bank established branches in nine major banks at the same time.
The deposit interest rate established by Huitong Bank is exactly the same as that of Universal Bank. Even so, for Huitong Bank, it has improved by a point on the original basis.
The background of the Four Seas Bank is indeed something that cannot be easily shaken by Huitong Bank.
As for further raising deposit interest rates, Mr. Chun Shen and the others have the intention, but they are powerless.
No one is a fool, the purpose of the bank is to make a profit. Once the deposit interest rate is raised again, it will be a loss and a profit.
Even so, Huitong Bank should not be underestimated.
Regarding how to run the bank, the human resources of the major families are enough to overwhelm [Shanhai League]. Under the interference of Jun Shenjun and the others, the large-scale recruitment fair launched by Universal Bank after the year was not successful.
At least, it was not as successful as Meng Zhida imagined.
You know, the top banking talents are almost all members of the system. Ouyang Shuo couldn't shake Di Chen's control over this group of people.
In desperation, Meng Zhida could only settle for the next best thing.
In addition, in order to snatch customers, Huitong Bank also made a strange move, copying the marketing methods in reality into the game one by one.
For example, open an account to send a small gift.
After a few days, Huitong Bank has stabilized its position and competed against the Universal Bank. If it wasn't for the sudden exposure of Shanhai City, it might have been tricked by Huitong Bank.
In addition to attracting retail investors, Huitong Bank also learned from Sihai Bank to target core customers at guilds.
Not surprisingly, the three top ten guilds of [Sword Qi], [Yanyun Eighteen Riders] and [Jinyiwei] all invested in Huitong Bank.
In addition, there are more than 20 large-scale guilds in the Nine Kingdoms, and they jointly participate in Huitong Bank. Subsequent guilds that applied for equity participation in Huitong Bank reached 30 to 40 guilds.
It is reported that this time the six major families came forward together, and even the old man in the family was dispatched, playing all the emotional cards and exhausting contacts, which caused such a sensational posture.
This time Huitong Bank can be described as menacing.
Regarding this, Ouyang Shuo didn't mess himself up. He instructed Meng Zhida to make three changes. That is, the development strategy formulated by the bank remains unchanged, the high-standard conditions for equity participation remain unchanged, and the strict conditions for lending remain unchanged.
Between the two big banks, it is destined to be a protracted battle.
If you are led by the nose by Huitong Bank, you will easily fall into the lower class.
Four Seas Bank is superior to Huitong Bank in terms of innate conditions. As long as it is steady and steady, it will be invincible. If you are afraid, you will be afraid, and you will be anxious for a while, and you will do something eager for quick success.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to fight steadily, but some people did not give up.
Years later, a conspiracy against the Four Seas Bank has been quietly laid out in secret. Once it succeeds, it will be enough to push the Four Seas Bank into the abyss of eternal doom.
*************
February 14th, that is, the twelfth day of the first lunar month.
Zheng He, the captain of the Nanyang Navy, who left Shanhai City for a month and a half, finally returned to Shanhai City. During this tour, Zheng He inspected the bases of the three major fleets and conducted a thorough investigation of the Nanyang Navy.
As soon as he came back, Zheng He submitted a Nanyang Navy expansion plan to Ouyang Shuo.
According to Zheng He's plan, the three major fleets under the Nanyang Navy will all reach the full state of five formations in three years of Gaia.
"If it is not so, it is not enough to dominate the ocean." Zheng He said.
In addition, Zheng He also put forward practical and detailed suggestions for changes in the fleet's warship configuration, command system, and formation methods.
Zheng He, who made seven voyages to the West, is simply an expert in this field.
Not to mention, Shanhai City's shipbuilding technology and firearms technology all came from the Ming Dynasty. For Zheng He, seeing the three major fleets was like seeing his own fleet, and there was no sense of strangeness.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo accepted all Zheng He's suggestions for reform, and at the same time authorized Zheng He to carry out drastic reforms to the Nanyang Navy, allowing this navy to be reborn from the ashes.
At the same time, he instructed the Military Affairs Administration to fully cooperate with Zheng He's reorganization plan.
As for the expansion of the fleet, Ouyang Shuo was skeptical. Does he think that the expansion of the fleet is too fast? After all, the time given by Zheng He is three years for the entire Gaia.
What Ouyang Shuo was worried about was where to find such a large number of senior sailors, navigators and captains. Shanhai City cannot cultivate such a person in a short period of time.
Besides, Ouyang Shuo had another heart problem.
Since the establishment of the three major fleets, there is still no admiral. If you really want to reach the full state, you must recruit powerful naval officers. All of a sudden, where to look for it?
Ouyang Shuo only hoped that the sixth battle in the future would be successful.
Zheng He, solved one of the big problems for him, "I would like to inform you, the Lord, tomorrow morning, the last general will go to Quanzhou to recruit relevant naval personnel there."
"En?" Ouyang Shuo was taken aback.
"In Quanzhou, the general still has some connections." Zheng He explained.
"I see."
Ouyang Shuo was stunned, how could he have forgotten that in history, Quanzhou was the most important transit point and departure point for Zheng He's voyages to the West. In Quanzhou, Zheng He had extraordinary influence.
Especially in industries such as sailors and navigators, Zheng He is a god-like existence.
Once Zheng He appeared in Quanzhou in person, Ouyang Shuo could only imagine how excited those guys would be. Previously, the high-level talents who could not be recruited by the Military Affairs Administration might rush to come to Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo couldn't help being annoyed, how could he forget this.
"In that case, there will be General Lao. If there is anything you need, feel free to mention it." Ouyang Shuo said.
"Don't ask for anything." Zheng He was also confident.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and then took out something from his bosom, which was the complete version of "Treasure Map of Beihai Bay" after fusion. He handed the treasure map to Zheng He and said, "Look at this."
Zheng He took a look, and it looked familiar.
As the commander-in-chief of the seven voyages to the West, Zheng He is no stranger to Beihai Gulf. Coupled with this month's inspection, he already has a clear understanding of the ocean in the game.
The first thing Zheng He thought of was Annan. To get the treasure, conflict is inevitable.
"What does Junhou mean?" Zheng He asked uncertainly.
"The Marquis hopes that this treasure can be obtained before the implementation of the great voyage plan. How about giving the ocean-going fleet a chance to practice combat?" Ouyang Shuo said.
"I will live up to the entrustment of the king!" Zheng He solemnly replied.
