Chapter 747: Lu Bu Comes to Vote

Lingnan Province, Chaozhou County.

Undercurrents surged outside the territory, but Ouyang Shuo remained motionless, continuing his inspection tour step by step. During the inspection, he had to deal with the memorials sent by the Southern Border Protectorate from time to time.

On this day, Ouyang Shuo and his party stayed in Xingning County.

An unnamed courtyard in Xingning County was guarded by three thousand Shenwu guards, not even a fly could fly in. The courtyard is guarded by the personal guards, and every corner is monitored.

The Battle of Chibi is over, and the fierce general Xu Chu is the captain of the personal guard. Taking advantage of the situation, Ouyang Shuo expanded the bodyguard to 200 people, implemented two shifts, and guarded his safety 24 hours a day.

Every personal guard has unique skills, one against ten.

When traveling outside, Ouyang Shuo would not be self-willed, and his security work was done to the extreme. In addition to Shenwuwei and personal guards, [Shadow Guard] also arranged an Anbu to guard around him day and night.

Before Ouyang Shuo arrived in Chaozhou County, the 3rd Army Corps of the Huben Army, which had been moved to Chaozhou County, combed Chaozhou County inside and out again to eliminate any fish that slipped through the net.

The entire security work is closely linked, without any dead ends.

In the study room, Ouyang Shuo was fighting at night with lights on, reviewing memorials. The endless interviews during the day and the two successive banquets at noon and night did not dampen Ouyang Shuo's will.

Energetic, he has to review memorials until late at night every night.

The memorial that Ouyang Shuo is picking up now was reported by the Department of Agriculture of the General Administration of Administration.

After the ocean voyage was over, Ouyang Shuo successfully exchanged the loom manufacturing technology from William. Research Institute No. 7 has been working on the loom for a long time, and there will be results by the end of the year.

The great prosperity of the territory's textile industry is already in sight.

Just like this, while instructing the No. 7 Research Institute to research loom technology, Ouyang Shuo also ordered the Agriculture Department to formulate a detailed plan for the promotion of silkworm breeding.

Ouyang Shuo's goal is to expand silkworm breeding, especially colored silkworm breeding, to the entire territory. The planting scale has exceeded one million hectares, and the silk production has exceeded ten million units.

Otherwise, the future textile industry cannot be supported.

Ouyang Shuo knew very well that when looms were used on a large scale, the demand for silk raw materials would be terrifying. He can't hope that there will be mass production of looms, but the raw materials can't keep up, which will affect the output of cloth.

Every industry must connect the upstream and downstream to form a matching industrial chain in order to have a future.

The memorial submitted by Sun Yannong, director of the Agriculture Department, indicated that a breakthrough has been made in this matter. Through the mediation of the Department of Agriculture, a plan acceptable to all parties was finally established.

The Textile Industry Association contributed 100,000 gold coins, the General Administration of Finance allocated 300,000 gold coins as a special fund, and then borrowed 200,000 gold coins from the Four Seas Bank in the name of the Department of Agriculture, a total of 600,000 gold coins, and jointly established a silkworm breeding support fund. It is used to support farmers in the counties of the territory to carry out silkworm breeding.

At the same time, each county will also allocate a certain amount of special support funds from the county-level finances. In this way, the core funding problem has finally been resolved.

For this matter, Ouyang Shuo did not intervene, let alone pay for it personally.

To the entire territory, the six million gold coins in Ouyang Shuo's hands are really nothing. If he, the lord, had to pay for everything, what would he need a servant to do.

Territories have their own rules of operation.

The establishment of a joint fund is a creative solution. Territorial finance, industry associations, local governments and competent agencies play their respective roles, perform their duties and work together.

Judging from ancient conditions, it is simply perfect.

After reading it, Ouyang Shuo picked up a pen and wrote a note at the end of the memorial: "Very good, implement it as it is. Order, the establishment of a fund is of reference value, and it may be considered to be extended to other fields of agriculture. I hope Zhou Xiang will consider it."

After closing the memorial, Ouyang Shuo picked up the next one.

The memorial was sent by Du Ruhui, and it only reported one piece of news. Lu Bu, the number one general of the Three Kingdoms that Ouyang Shuo had been looking forward to, finally came to Shanhai City to meet Diao Chan.

There were two other people who came to vote with Lu Bu, one was the counselor Chen Gong, and the other was the general Gao Shun.

Chen Gong, courtesy name Gongtai, was the chief counselor under Lu Bu's tent in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He is upright and resourceful, and he made friends with well-known people in China when he was young.

In 192 AD, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, died in battle during the crusade against the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou. Chen Gong and others advocated that Cao Cao should take over as Yanzhou Mu, so he was regarded by Cao Cao as his confidant.

But after that, Chen Gong turned against Cao Cao because Cao Cao killed Bian Rang and other famous scholars in the late Han Dynasty, and lobbied Zhang Miao to betray Cao Cao and welcome Lv Bu to Yanzhou, assisting Lv Bu to attack Cao Cao and take Yanzhou and Xuzhou successively.

In Xiapi City, Lu Bu refused to listen to Chen Gong's plan to complement each other, so he failed. After Lu Bu's defeat, he was captured by Cao Cao along with Lu Bu and others, and decided to die.

Even in the Three Kingdoms period when there were many counselors, Chen Gong could be regarded as a top counselor.

It's a pity that Chen Gong was a bit "literate", and he was too upright. Because he couldn't stand Cao Cao's cruelty, he kept fighting against Cao Cao. In the end, he chose an "unwise" master like Lu Bu, and ended up dying.

In history, Gao Shun, the general beside Lu Bu, was executed together with Lu Bu. Zhang Liao, another heroic general under Lu Bu, chose to submit to Cao Cao, and finally ranked among the five best generals of Cao Wei.

Gao Shun's ability was comparable to Zhang Liao's.

If you read the Three Kingdoms carefully, you will find that Gao Shun is a famous general who has been buried in history.

Gao Shun is simply a "perfect soldier". Not only is he fierce and capable of fighting, but he is also good at training soldiers.

In addition, Gao Shun is also a wise and courageous general with a brain. He can always give Lu Bu the right advice at critical moments, and he is also quite disciplined in handling emergencies.

In terms of morality, it is also specifically recorded in "The Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" that Gao Shun did not drink alcohol or take bribes.

Gao Shun was also very loyal, loyal to Lv Bu, he did not take credit or pride, even if he was not reused by Lv Bu, and he was jealous, he did not complain or complain.

In the face of life and death, he finally chose to sacrifice his life for righteousness. Regardless of whether his "righteousness" to Lu Bu was worth it or not, Gao Shun is undoubtedly a model for contemporary soldiers in terms of character and virtue.

Shanhai City has no shortage of strong generals, but Gao Shun is the only one who is good at training soldiers. Not to mention how Lu Bu was arranged, Gao Shun was able to get a place in Shanhai City and give full play to his expertise in military training.

It is undoubtedly good news that Lu Bu, Chen Gong and Gao Shun voted. Ouyang Shuo commented at the end of the memorial, asking Du Ruhui to arrange the three of them, and arrange positions for the three of them after he returned to Shanhai City.

Putting down the memorial, Ouyang Shuo raised his head and glanced out the window.

The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, the moon and stars are sparse, and the sky is clear and clear, but it is a rare good weather.

Looking across the night sky, Ouyang Shuo seemed to be able to feel that above the sky, there was a huge dragon breathing out through the moonlight, and the breath was long and majestic.

After the Battle of Lingnan, the territory of Shanhai City expanded to the three counties, and the one who benefited the most was the Dragon of Luck in the territory. Affected by this, the body of the Luck Dragon grew bigger again.

Now, the dragon of luck is using the power of Yuehua to condense his body.

Ouyang Shuo vaguely felt that the purple energy in the Dragon of Destiny's body was getting stronger and stronger, which was a sign of the prosperity of the territory.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ouyang Shuo pulled himself together and continued to review the memorial.

The affairs of the territory were very complicated, even with the help of the ministers, Ouyang Shuo could not keep his heart clean. In the wilderness, wars are frequent, and governance by doing nothing is a false proposition.

Of course, this is also a tempering for Ouyang Shuo.

The territory has progressed from village to town, from county to county, and now to the edge of the country. While witnessing the growth of the territory, Ouyang Shuo's personal ability is also improving by leaps and bounds.

In reality, Ouyang Shuo is now a young talent.

The last memorial was from the Yingyou newspaper, and it was all related to the pillar industries of the territory. While the major industries in the territory are developing vigorously, they also encounter their own difficulties and bottlenecks.

The first is the shipbuilding industry that attracts the most money.

In Gaia's three years, the most shining industry in the territory is the shipbuilding industry.

In terms of honor, it was the prosperity of the shipbuilding industry that laid the foundation for ocean voyages in one fell swoop and supported the foundation for the crazy expansion of the five major fleets of the Nanyang Navy.

It can be said that without the prosperity and development of the shipbuilding industry, there would be no formation of the five major fleets, and naturally there would be no heroic figure of the Shanhai City navy galloping the ocean and dominating the world.

Everything is supported by countless shipbuilders, such behind-the-scenes heroes.

Shipbuilding brings not only honors, but also crazy profits. According to the statistics of the General Administration of Finance, in the first half of Gaia's three years alone, the territory has earned more than four million gold coins in profit from the sale of merchant ships.

In addition, there are huge profits such as battleships.

The shipbuilding industry has become the pillar of the territory's finances, supporting half of the country's finances. Even the military industry, the same star industry, cannot compare with it.

I have to say that the profits under monopoly are really crazy.

Under the huge profits, there are also hidden worries.

With the opening of the great sea route, the demand for merchant ships in China has continued unabated, and orders from major shipyards in the territory have been scheduled until the second half of next year.

The surge in orders was originally a happy thing.

What Yingyou reported made Ouyang Shuo frown. The speed of ship construction has been accelerated in the game, but the materials required for shipbuilding are not cut corners at all.

Behind every ship, a large number of trees have been cut down.

However, the wood used in shipbuilding has extremely high quality requirements, and ordinary trees can't do it at all. Moreover, different troops have different needs for wood.

A complete warship often involves various woods such as fir, pine, cypress, teak, elm, red wood, camphor, nanmu, catalpa, catalpa, oak and cypress.

As a result, the forests within the territory were overcut. In the Shiwanda Mountains where the Lianzhou Basin and the Lingnan Province meet, some places were directly cut down into wasteland.

Today, the territory is already in danger of a shortage of timber.
