Chapter 926: Heir

Putting away the "Exploration Map of Lemurian Civilization Ruins", Ouyang Shuo looked at the talisman.

[Anti-Ge Talisman]: After using it, during the non-national war period, you can designate any royal city, and prohibit the imperial guards of the royal city from participating in the lord's war for one week.

Following the 【War Immunity Card】, Ouyang Shuo got another strange item.

As mentioned earlier, the imperial guards of the royal city cannot take the initiative to go out of the city to fight the lord army in the wilderness. The only exception is that the wilderness territory applies for the asylum of the royal city and voluntarily becomes a vassal of the royal city.

In this way, the Wangcheng army can send troops in the name of exercising the "right of protection".

The function of the [Zhi Ge Talisman] is that even if a territory applies for asylum, Wangcheng will not be able to send troops to intervene in the war between the territories within a week.

There is no doubt that this talisman will come in handy if used well.

Shanhai City, Song Mansion.

While Ouyang Shuo was inspecting Somalia, Queen Song Jia of Great Xia went home to visit her relatives in her free time.

After the excitement, Song Tianxiong, the Patriarch of the Song family, had such a conversation with his daughter.

"Daughter, have you and the king ever thought about having an heir?"

Song Jia was obviously taken aback, and said in surprise, "Son? Father, this is still in the game world."

"What's wrong with the game world, you can still have children."

What Song Tianxiong said was indeed true.

This interstellar migration will take ten years on the road alone, and Gaia is not unreasonable. After the players in the game get married, they can also apply for heirs.

The reason for the application is that this heir is not a virtual baby, but a real life.

In the game, the husband and wife jointly apply for childbirth. After paying a certain fee, Gaia will directly extract the sperm and eggs of the two through the game cabin for in vitro fertilization.

With the current level of technology, fertilized eggs do not need to be sent back to the mother's uterus, but are directly cultivated in the nutrition warehouse.

The nutrition compartment is also specially made, which can connect the baby's senses to the game and keep in sync with the baby in the game. In other words, the mother is pregnant for ten months in the game, and the baby in reality is slowly taking shape in the nutrition warehouse.

The birth of the baby in the game, every frown and smile, are all true reflections of real babies, and the two are 100% synchronized. Both husband and wife can raise their offspring as in reality without going offline.

That's why there's a charge, and it's expensive.

There are two reasons.

First, the special nutrition warehouse and the baby's follow-up nutrition solution are not a small expense. The second is to limit the number of newborns through charging.

Everyone is still sailing in space, and the spaceship reserves limited resources. If there are no restrictions, too many newborns will be born.

Therefore, giving birth in the game is a treatment that only the rich can enjoy, and basically has no chance with ordinary players.

As for why Gaia doesn't launch a virtual baby, it involves family ethics. There is no pair of parents willing to love a virtual data created by Gaia with all their heart.

Song Jia was a smart woman, she said softly, "Why did father mention this all of a sudden?"

"It's not sudden. You and the king have been married for a year and a half. It's normal to have children. Besides, when the king ascends the throne, he should have children so that the country can be safe." Song Tianxiong didn't change his face.

Song Jia took a deep look at her father, and said, "I will tell the king about this matter, and it's up to the king to decide."

Song Tianxiong shook his head, hating iron for being weak, persuading him: "Daughter, you have to make up your own mind about this matter. Don't blame my father for not reminding you. Although the king has no concubine now, you have never Heir, the ministers of the court will definitely change their ways to ask the king to accept the concubine to ensure the inheritance of the royal blood."

"Although the king favors you alone right now, as a father, I heard that there are more than one woman who has ties to the king. Daughter, don't capsize the boat in the gutter and let other women get ahead of you."

"He won't." Song Jia was full of confidence.

Song Tianxiong said earnestly: "Daughter, people's hearts are subject to change. The king is becoming more and more powerful, and there are more than a hundred thousand women who want to cling to him. After a long time, who can say for sure. How are the brothers in the family acting one by one? , you don’t know, do you?”

Song Jia still didn't believe that her husband would be a philanderer. But when I think of those brothers in the family, they are just ordinary family children, and there is no one who does not mess around outside.

Thinking of this, Song Jia's confidence began to waver again.

Seeing this, Song Tianxiong said, "No matter what, your position will be stable only if you have an heir."

Song Jia finally nodded and said: "Understood, I will talk to the king." Speaking of it, Song Jia really wanted a baby, so their family would be perfect, wouldn't it? !

"That's good." Song Tianxiong was overjoyed.

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

On August 8th, after only staying in Somalia Province for three days, Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City.

Unlike Morocco, during the Somalia war, cabinet officials followed the army to take over the city. In addition, the king of Somalia lost the support of the people, which made the formation and restoration of the province extremely smooth.

With Pei Ju as an old official in charge, Ouyang Shuo really didn't have to worry about it.

Before leaving Mugudushu, the Black Snake Guard handed in the Somali king's confession. The confession stated in detail the two transactions that the mysterious person, the representative of [Silver Hand], made with the Somali royal family.

So far, the [Silver Hand]'s ambition to intervene in Somali affairs with the intention of destroying the Great Xia Dynasty's Friendship City is clearly revealed, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain.

Ouyang Shuo looked at the confession, and there was indescribable irony in his eyes, so he handed the confession to Tsing Yi, a scholar of the Miwen Pavilion who accompanied him, and said, "Sending this confession to the Violet Negotiating Team will be of great use."

"Yes!" Tsing Yi nodded.

…………

Ouyang Shuo was in a hurry to return to Shanhai City because there were four officials waiting to meet him. They were Bai Hua, the former governor of Kunming, Fan Zhongyan, the former governor of Guilin, Huo Guang, the former governor of Shaozhou, and Xun Yu, the former governor of Fuyong.

Taking advantage of Pei Ju's promotion to the Governor of Somalia, Ouyang Shuo finally made up his mind to fill the positions of Governors of the four provinces of Yunnan, Southern Sichuan, Lingnan and Southern Fujian at once.

The imperial edict promoted Bai Hua to be governor of Yunnan, Fan Zhongyan to be governor of southern Sichuan, Huo Guang to be governor of Lingnan, and Xun Yu to be governor of southern Fujian.

The gold content of the four governors is more than that of the governors of Morocco and Somalia.

Although the governor of the Great Xia Dynasty was limited to one province, it could be compared to a game map that was enlarged ten times. Even if the population density factor was removed, it was comparable to the governor of the Qing Dynasty.

Among the four governors, Bai Hua's promotion came naturally without any dispute.

Fan Zhongyan, as the oldest civil servant in the dynasty, served successively as director of administration, sheriff of Wuzhou and sheriff of Guilin.

On balance, Ouyang Shuo still promoted Fan Zhongyan as governor of southern Sichuan.

As a famous minister of the generation, Huo Guang's qualifications cannot be compared with Fan Zhongyan's, but he is also capable enough to govern the government affairs of a province. He has not met any opposition to his promotion to Governor of Lingnan this time.

It's just that Song Wen is a little lonely, which is inevitable.

Seeing that Mulanyue and Bai Hua were successively promoted to governors, as Song Jia's elder brother and governor of Jiaozhou, it was impossible for Song Wen to have no idea about the position of Governor of Lingnan.

Ouyang Shuo would not be confused, so he fulfilled Song Wen's wish.

Mulanyue was promoted to governor because she had taken the initiative to integrate into the Shanhai City system from the very beginning, and she had "the merit of being a dragon". Bai Hua used Connaught University's Kunming County as a bargaining chip to obtain promotion capital.

What about Song Wen?

Not to mention that the Song family's Tianshuang County was lost by their own family, Shanhai City was required to help wipe their ass. Although Song Wen himself is capable, he is not enough to govern a province.

That being the case, how could Ouyang Shuo promote Song Wen to the high position of Governor-General for selfishness?

It was even said that because of the relationship between Song Wen and Song Jia, Ouyang Shuo would be more cautious in using Song Wen than other officials, and strictly guarded against the monopoly of foreign relatives.

If Song Wen wanted to understand this point, he would not have such an idea.

On the contrary, Song Tianxiong saw it more thoroughly than his son, and took the opportunity of Song Jia's visit to propose that Song Jia want an heir. Only when Song Jia had Ouyang Shuo's child, the Song family's position in the dynasty could be as stable as Mount Tai.

As expected of an old fox!

…………

Among the four governors who have been promoted this time, the only one who has a slight dissent is Xun Yu, the governor of southern Fujian.

It's not that Xun Yu is incapable. Historically, Xun Yu served as Minister of the Cao Wei camp for a long time, that is, the prime minister. He was in the middle for more than ten years and handled military affairs. He was respected as "Xun Lingjun".

Such a talented Wang Zuozhi can naturally afford the government affairs of a province.

The dissenters in the imperial court were just that Xun Yu joined the dynasty not long ago, and his qualifications were too low, so he was promoted to a high position so quickly, which was inconsistent with the rules of official circles.

Ouyang Shuo didn't pay much attention to these objections and promoted Xun Yu anyway. After all, among the four county guards in southern Fujian province, only Xun Yu can take the lead.

It was also suggested that the appointment of the governor of southern Fujian should be put on hold for the time being, and the appointment should be made after Xun Yu has accumulated a period of time in the post of governor of Fuyong County.

This proposal has been approved by many ministers.

Ouyang Shuo still didn't accept it, not for any other reason, but because with the Sui Dynasty settled in Quanzhou, southern Fujian urgently needed a person with an overview of the overall situation.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want to spoil the important affairs of the court because of some rules.

In this way, things are settled.

…………

With the promotion of the four governors, the governing places of the four provinces were also confirmed one by one.

Needless to say, the Yunnan province was settled in Lingxi City in Kunming County. If there is any change in the future, it will be after the imperial court conquered Dali.

Cao Shen, governor of Dongchuan, took over the post of governor of Kunming and continued to assist Bai Hua.

There is no dispute over the seat of the Southern Sichuan Province, which is located in Tianjing City in Xunzhou County. Bao Shuya, governor of Xunzhou County, continued to sit in Xunzhou County without moving his position.

The seat of the Lingnan Province was chosen in Zhenhai City in Jiaozhou County, and Song Wen also continued to serve as the governor of Jiaozhou County.

The last is the province of southern Fujian, where the government is located in Xunlong City in Fuyong County. Like Yunnan Province, only when Quanzhou is conquered in the future will it be possible to change the government.

Fang Xiaoru, the former governor of Longyan, took over the post of governor of Fuyong.

The four sheriffs who were vacated by the four major provinces were all promoted by local officials in the wilderness to fill the vacancies.
