Chapter 690 Win-Win Cooperation

It was almost noon after discussing the matter of filling the population of Shanhai City.

"Today's court meeting will come to an end." Ouyang Shuo said bluntly, "Back the court!"

After the court meeting was over, Ouyang Shuo returned to the apse.

In the palace, Song Jia was chatting with a middle-aged woman, talking and laughing, looking very speculative.

When Ouyang Shuo saw him, he just smiled.

After marriage, his wife, Song Jia, seemed to put away her original chivalrous style, and began to appear as a marquis/duchess. She had close contacts with the officials and women of the territory, and became Ouyang Shuo's virtuous helper.

In addition, Song Jia has a clear distinction between public and private, and she acts in a relaxed manner, which is very popular with the people.

"With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

Of course, Song Jia didn't really give up her martial arts. Every morning class and evening class, she still practiced diligently, coupled with the abundance of resources in the Duhufu, Song Jia's martial arts progressed rapidly.

The current Song Jia is very much like the legendary "Queen of Sunflowers". Although she lives in a secluded harem, she has excellent martial arts skills. There are legends about her in the world.

Two strange women, the same way but the same effect.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, the middle-aged woman immediately got up and saluted: "Minister Xian, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo vaguely remembered that she was Huo Guang's wife, Huo Xian. At first glance, the woman is gentle, courteous, and graceful, but she doesn't look like a "poisonous woman" in history at all.

On the other side, Bing'er was playing vigorously with a little girl, when she heard the sound, she looked up and saw that her brother had come back, she yelled crisply: "Brother!" Then she lowered her head to play again.

For this younger sister who was in the rebellious stage, Ouyang Shuo was helpless.

On the other hand, the little girl who played with Bing'er was very agile, with big eyes and long eyelashes. At a young age, there is a hint of charm in her cuteness.

It's no wonder that when she grew up, she became a "bad girl".

"Cheng Jun met Brother Jun Shang!"

The little girl left Ruanta, came to Ouyang Shuo, and gave a quick salute.

After hearing this, Ouyang Shuo smiled. Such a title is quite interesting. After thinking for a while, he took out a string of green magnetite bracelets from the storage bag, and put them on for Huo Chengjun himself, "Come to play often in the future!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Huo Chengjun looked very happy, his little face was full of excitement.

Huo Xian on the side saw it, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes as well. It is a great honor to be rewarded by the emperor himself. Needless to say, the magic of Ciou Stone has already spread throughout Shanhai City, and many women are envious of it.

Ouyang Shuo did this, because he really likes Huo Chengjun, he is so handsome at such a young age, it really makes people love him. The theory of "beautiful women are troublesome" is just a fiction made by literati, and it is imposed on weak women, Ouyang Shuo is not ashamed.

The second is to take this opportunity to draw in the relationship with the Huo family.

Brothers Huo Qubing and Huo Guang are Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs of the territory.

Especially Huo Qubing, who was alone, probably only his elder brother's family could bring him some warmth. Ouyang Shuo had heard that Huo Qubing loved Huo Chengjun, his little niece, very much.

Now Ouyang Shuo is no longer pure in everything he does.

As soon as the Shanhai City Court Meeting ended, the news spread throughout China, sparking heated discussions.

There is excitement and there is fear.

The most excited ones are naturally the adventure players in China, especially the civilian players. The long-awaited Shanhai City has finally opened its doors.

In the hearts of players in China, Shanhai City is already the safest city in China. Even the royal city will be captured one day, but Shanhai city will always stand between the heaven and the earth.

This alone is enough to drive players crazy.

Not to mention, with the opening of the great air route, Shanhai City has become a window to the outside world.

The business opportunities in the city are everywhere.

All of a sudden, countless individual players, guilds, player chambers of commerce and other organizations swarmed in.

The first to be compromised was Shanhai City's service point in the Nine Kings City. The players are eager to know what is the standard for Shanhai City to recruit players this time.

The 400,000 places may seem huge, but in front of the player base of tens of millions, it seems a bit insignificant. Therefore, even if Shanhai City lowers the threshold, not everyone can settle in.

The next day, the Civil Affairs Department under the General Administration of Internal Affairs of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Government promulgated three immigration principles, that is, life professional players are given priority, chambers of commerce are given priority, and those with good reputation are given priority.

Players who intend to immigrate to Shanhai City need to submit application materials to the Wangcheng Office first. After passing the review by the Civil Affairs Bureau, another notice will be issued to issue the Shanhai City household registration certificate.

If it is a group, such as a chamber of commerce, or a guild, or a mercenary group, a group application can be issued.

This also means that pure combat professional players, especially those with malicious PK records, will definitely be blocked by Shanhai City.

On the contrary, if some player chambers of commerce have a good reputation, they will be warmly welcomed by Shanhai City. Some small guilds and small mercenary regiments are also the priority recipients of Shanhai City.

As for some lone rangers, Shanhai City also held a cautious attitude.

As a lone ranger, either he really has outstanding skills, is proud of his talents, or has a eccentric personality. All in all, it's not a good management object.

As for the top ten guilds in the nine king cities, all of them were blocked outside the gate of Shanhai City. Even setting up a branch in Shanhai City would not work, including allied guilds such as [Shangxue Meigui].

The immigrants introduced by Shanhai City this time, if we use an inappropriate adjective to describe them, they are mainly "middle class", or similar to "small and medium-sized enterprises with certain vitality" in reality.

Because these people have a certain technical reserve or economic foundation, they can get further development when they come to Shanhai City. Only in this way can we achieve a win-win situation for both parties.

Meng Zhida, the big shopkeeper of the Four Seas Bank, has already spoken. As long as the time is right and the conditions are met, the Four Seas Bank is very happy to provide low-interest loans to the players' chambers of commerce and adventure organizations stationed in Shanhai City, and support them to grow bigger.

This signal is undoubtedly great news for countless small and medium-sized chambers of commerce.

Developing ocean-going trade requires ample funds. Among other things, buying merchant ships, hiring sailors, and purchasing goods is a huge expense.

With the support of Universal Bank, everything is no longer a problem.

In fact, as early as when Ouyang Shuo first came back, Meng Zhida had already clarified this meaning through memorials. The Four Seas Bank now has an astonishing ability to absorb savings, relying solely on borrowing from the lords, it is already somewhat unable to keep up with the pace.

What's more, there is still a certain risk of default in the lord's loan.

On the contrary, player chambers of commerce and small adventure teams have always been a neglected lending market with huge potential. A single chamber of commerce may not need much capital, but if hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of chambers of commerce are stacked together, their capital needs will be terrifying.

Previously, neither the Four Seas Bank nor the Huitong Bank would lend money to these chambers of commerce. Its concern is precisely the ability of the small chamber of commerce to repay the loan, and it is worried that the loan will not be recovered.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo did not immediately adopt Meng Zhida's suggestion earlier.

Now is a good opportunity. Those who can be introduced by Shanhai City are all groups that have been screened and investigated by the Black Snake Guard. They are clean and have a good reputation.

When they settle in Shanhai City, they will be bound by the [Territory Code], and the fixed assets purchased in the city will also be under the supervision of Shanhai City.

In this way, the risk of default is minimized at once.

In anticipation of huge profits from ocean trade, lending naturally became logical.

In this way, it not only solves the loan problem of the Four Seas Bank, but also activates the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, driving their rapid development, and then the real prosperity of the ocean trade on the great sea route.

Such a chain of interlocking forms a genius-like chain of interests.

It can be predicted that once this plan is successfully implemented, the business of Shanhai City will reach a new level.

Shanhai City is destined to become a city full of vitality, an adventure stage for young people who are passionate, motivated, and dare to fight, and will never become a nursing home for players.

This is also the immigration slogan played by the Civil Affairs Bureau.

As soon as the slogan came out, it immediately resonated with countless players. At this moment, they really felt that they were so close to that lofty No. 1 person in China.

Shanhai City introduced immigrants this time, without thinking of giving preferential treatment to civilian players.

This kind of thing can be felt, but not explained.

What's more, the elite class is not all bad, and ordinary players are not all good.

After going through so many experiences, Ouyang Shuo still has this basic understanding. He has already learned not to simply judge good and evil, right and wrong based on groups and regions.

As long as it is beneficial to the prosperity of Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo will not refuse anyone.

*************

Yunnan Province, Tengyue County, Tengchong City.

The emergency meeting of the four major city-states is being held at the City Lord's Mansion in Tengchong City.

The host of the meeting, Qin Feng, the lord of Tengchong City and the rotating chairman of [Yunnan City-State], suddenly received an urgent message, and his expression turned gloomy.

"Everyone," Qin Feng looked around the venue, and said solemnly, "I just got the news that Qiyue Wuyi has publicly announced in the court that he wants to take revenge on us [Yunnan city-state]. The reason is that not long ago, Qiu Beicheng of Mengding County attacked the town An County border matter."

As he said that, Qin Feng glanced at Lord Qiu Beicheng, his face became more and more gloomy.

"Sure enough, war has been declared?!"

The one who spoke was Caiyunzhinan, the representative of [Shonan City-State].

The moment they learned of Ouyang Shuo's return, they had expected such a day to come, but they never expected that it would come so fast and so swiftly.

"Is there any specific news?" Caiyun Zhinan asked.

"Qiyue Wuyi has already dispatched the most powerful legion under his command—the Imperial Guard Legion, to the border immediately to join their Longxiang Army. At the same time, Bai Hua has also publicly declared that he will advance and retreat with Shanhai City. The only one in Lingxi City A field regiment of ours has marched towards the frontier."

Nuo Da's conference room suddenly became silent.
