Chapter 881 Bidding

On the last day of May, the Great Xia Dynasty negotiating delegation led by Violet officially arrived in Atlantis City, starting a round of arduous negotiations.

Ouyang Shuo, who was in charge of Shanhai City, was also not idle.

This morning, Tsing Yi handed over a brochure, which listed the names of nearly twenty guilds.

"This is?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

Tsing Yi said: "Your Majesty, this is the list of guilds in China that want to be qualified as guild guards in Rabat satellite towns. They are all here, including those from the nine king cities."

Since the news of the Great Xia Dynasty's capture of Morocco, the satellite city outside Rabat has attracted the hearts of countless guild leaders in China. Although there are nine royal cities in the China region, there are still too many monks and too few groceries, and there are many large guilds that have not obtained the qualification to guard the guild.

Knowing that the satellite city of Rabat is still an empty city, someone naturally moved their minds. In the game, players don't have much regional views, and it's the same wherever they go to explore the underground world.

Therefore, the satellite city of Rabat is somewhat attractive to the guilds.

Since Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City, there has been an endless stream of guild leaders who came to visit him, but they were all kept out of the Summer Palace, and were received by Biwenge scholar Qing Yi.

Ouyang Shuo's disappearance was not for the sake of putting on airs.

It was because among the guild leaders who came to visit, there were inevitably those who were related to each other and asked for relationships, such as the guilds with [Shangxue Meimei] and the original [Qingfeng Pavilion], or with Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia, etc. People who are acquainted with each other in reality, most of them are classmates.

To this day, Ouyang Shuo's real identity has long been an open secret. The students who didn't know the truth before were shocked and excited at the same time when they learned the truth. It's only natural to want to get some benefits from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo even saw the name of [Liangshan Mercenary Corps] on the list, thinking that Ouyang Shuo's act of gifting the sword gave Song Pu unnecessary associations, but Song Pu really thought too much.

To avoid suspicion, Ouyang Shuo simply disappeared.

I don't want Ouyang Shuo's closing the door to thank guests, but it will arouse the interest of other guild leaders. In the eyes of these big bosses, King Xia will never be seen. Naturally, they must choose impartially and not favoritism.

Therefore, in the past week, there have been more than 20 guilds that feel qualified. Today, almost all the guilds with such intentions have submitted applications, so Tsing Yi put together a list and handed it over to Ouyang Shuo to decide.

Ouyang Shuo scanned the list, understood it, and said with a smile, "They think it's beautiful."

"Isn't His Majesty planning to arrange for the Chinese guild to settle in the satellite city?" Tsing Yi was puzzled.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "Arrangement is of course to be arranged, but which one or which ones should be arranged? What criteria should be used to judge? The satellite cities of Nuoda can't just take advantage of them for nothing."

After [Tingyulou] and other guilds changed their banners, Ouyang Shuo was full of wariness towards the guilds. Who knew which guilds had the dark chess of [Silver Hand] planted.

Ouyang Shuo was really worried that it wasn't a well-known guild.

It's just that [Shangxue Meigui] and [Blood Fiend Mercenary Corps] are truly allies of the Great Xia Dynasty, but they are both guarding guilds of their respective royal cities, and they are incapable of doing so.

As for those classmates and friends, today's Ouyang Shuo doesn't believe it. If Ouyang Shuo had any siblings, even cousins, the matter would be settled easily.

Reuse of blood lineage is also an important means to maintain the rule of the dynasty.

Unfortunately not.

"What does His Majesty mean?"

Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, and said, "Let Shanhaiwei investigate first, and exclude those guilds that may be infiltrated by [Silver Hand], and then bid among the remaining guilds."

Although guarding the guild not only poses a huge threat to the Moroccan province, it has to be guarded against.

Tsing Yi was startled, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty is talking about bidding?" After staying by Ouyang Shuo's side for a long time, Tsing Yi has already figured out a thing or two about Ouyang Shuo's wild ideas.

"Exactly." Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "The bidding conditions include a commission of more than 3 million gold coins, more than 5% of the guild's equity, and more than 50% of the satellite city's tax revenue. Whoever offers the best comprehensive conditions will win the bid."

"clear!"

Tsing Yi knew that His Majesty wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

Ouyang Shuo has a clear conscience, since he can't tell the enemy from himself, the one with the highest price will get it. With this money, it can barely cover the expenses of attacking Morocco this time.

Just to restore the city of Rabat, Ouyang Shuo spent one million gold coins, plus military expenditures, procurement of war materials, war wear and tear, post-war pensions, army reorganization, etc., three million gold coins were not enough.

Fortunately, apart from this fund, after taking down Rabat, a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, armor and equipment were found in the palace treasury and the royal city treasury. According to preliminary estimates, the total value is no less than two million gold coins.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo even found a substitute doll and a king-level summoning talisman in the treasure house of the palace, both of which are priceless.

After a great battle, the Great Xia Dynasty finally did not make a loss-making business.

Under Song Jia's strong request, Ouyang Shuo brought the stand-in doll with him. In Song Jia's words: "You are now the King of Xia, you can no longer be willful, and your life should be the top priority."

Ouyang Shuo felt quite helpless about this, but he had no choice but to obey. When he was in the satellite city, Dida's sneak attack made Ouyang Shuo realize that he was becoming a bit resentful of his life.

Now that I carry a stand-in doll with me, I don't know whether it is good or bad.

This crux needs Ouyang Shuo to comprehend and break through by himself, others can help.

As for the king-level summoning talisman, Ouyang Shuo didn't use it, but gave it to the siege lion as a thank you for the [Limited Summoning Card] gifted by the siege lion.

Without that card, the road to the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty would still be quite bumpy.

Ouyang Shuo was the one who was most unwilling to owe favors.

After regaining his senses, Ouyang Shuo said to Tsing Yi, "Let the Commercial Department handle the bidding. They should also accumulate some experience in bidding."

"promise!"

Ouyang Shuo said: "Since satellite cities are mentioned, the matter of immigration from the Moroccan province should also be handled together."

"Also ask the king to show you!"

Tsing Yi has already prepared pen and ink, ready to record it in detail. Ouyang Shuo said many of the dynasty's policies in passing, and he said what he thought of, which needed to be sorted out by the Secret Wen Pavilion.

Therefore, Tsing Yi has already developed the habit of recording at any time.

Ouyang Shuo said: "The number of players immigrating to the province of Morocco, except for the satellite cities, is tentatively set at one million, and they are still mainly professional players and casual players. Casablanca is still very attractive to casual players, so you can use it appropriately. Relax the number of casual players, let’s set it at 600,000.”

Casablanca is not only a garden city, but also a resort. It is self-evident that it is attractive to leisure players, and it is indeed one of the best retirement cities.

Come to think of it, even if the Great Xia Dynasty did not provide resettlement fees and social welfare guarantees, there were old people who were willing to settle in Casablanca. There are also many invisible rich people among the elderly group, not all of them are poor households.

Casablanca's tourism industry is promising.

Speaking of this, I really want to thank the former lord Caroline for running Casablanca so well.

"In addition to the players, there are 200,000 aborigines transferred from various provinces to immigrate to the Morocco province. Correspondingly, 200,000 aborigines can be transferred from the Morocco province to settle in the domestic provinces." Ouyang Shuo continued.

The cross-immigration is naturally to dilute the original Arab atmosphere of the Morocco province, and fully integrate the province into the Daxia Dynasty system, so as not to be alienated from the center.

Coupled with the characteristics of the dynasty, the refugees who will be refreshed in the cities of the Moroccan province will all be Han Chinese. In one or two years, the complete transformation of the Moroccan province can be completed.

Until then, the province of Morocco will be no different from any other province.

Of course, there is a price to be paid for cross-immigration. Among other things, the resettlement costs at both ends are a large expense, and the entire implementation may cost millions of gold coins.

Coupled with the resettlement costs of player immigration, the expenses will be even greater.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, and said, "After the qualification bidding for the Guardian Council of Satellite Towns is over, one million gold coins will be withheld from the commission to be used for resettlement work. The remaining funding gap will be resolved by the Finance Department."

Stabilizing the province of Morocco is also a major benefit to the dynasty's finances. At this time, some funds are advanced in advance, and the Minister of Finance, Fan Li, will not block it.

Tsing Yi heard it and wrote it down one by one.

"Do you want to follow the example of Xingzhou County and auction the small islands outside the Moroccan province?" Tsing Yi suggested.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "No. The province of Morocco is different from Xingzhou County, and there are no countries around that would interest PK madmen in China. Besides, those outlying islands need to be built as permanent naval supply bases, so they are not suitable for auction. Don’t be greedy for this sum of money.”

Tsing Yi frowned and said, "If you build a base, it's another expense."

Ouyang Shuo just smiled and said, "That's something that can't be helped. The powerful enemies around the Moroccan province look around, and if they don't do this, they can't rest assured. I roughly calculated that there are five million gold coins, which are used to fill the war The hole and getting the province of Morocco on the right track are basically enough. If it is close, instead of taking the idea of ​​the small island, it is better to let the commercial department do a better job and squeeze out more commissions."

"I will convey the King's intentions to the Commerce Department."

Tsing Yi has seen the "greed" of the king, and he really wants to squeeze the guild dry.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Then let's do this first!"

In just half an hour, Ouyang Shuo made a general plan for Morocco Province.

…………

On June 1, the announcement of the Great Xia Dynasty's bidding for the qualified bids for the satellite towns of Rabat naturally sparked another round of heated discussions.

Some clamored for the black heart of the Great Xia Dynasty, and some were just about to make a move.

The clever leader of the guild has already thought of the previous restructuring strategy of the [Blood Shadow League], and using a consortium to participate in the bidding is obviously more advantageous than fighting alone, and has a better chance of winning.
