Views:

During dinner at night, Ouyang Shuo chatted with Sun Xiaoyue about things in the game for the first time.

"Xiaoyue, last time you told me that you met a lot of professional players in Dali?"

Sun Xiaoyue glanced at Ouyang Shuo inexplicably, and said casually, "That's right."

"Are you interested in forming a guild?"

"Form a guild? I can't play it." Sun Xiaoyue was obviously not very interested.

"What I mean is, you can form a guild composed of professional players. In this way, you can gather your friends together. The guild can open a guild channel, so that you can quickly It is convenient to communicate at any time." Ouyang Shuo was not ready to give up, and continued to seduce Sun Xiaoyue.

Sun Xiaoyue is a shrewd girl, Ouyang Shuo's intentions are so obvious, she is not stupid, she immediately noticed something was wrong, stared at Ouyang Shuo, and said playfully, "Big local tyrant, tell me, what schemes do you have?" Last time Ouyang Shuo Sending her 300 gold coins at one time shocked her.

Ouyang Shuo also knew that he was too eager and looked a little embarrassed. Fortunately, after getting acquainted, his face has thickened a lot, and he said frankly: "My plan, I can't make it clear for a while. In short, I will fund it, and you will come forward to form a guild in Dali. Win-win, no?"

Sun Xiaoyue looked at Ouyang Shuo with an inexplicable expression, she didn't bargain, but agreed very readily, which made Ouyang Shuo very confused.

After dinner, Ouyang Shuo received a call from his aunt Lin Jing.

Ever since she learned of Ouyang Shuo's real identity in the game, Lin Jing naturally paid close attention to Shanhai Town's every move. The last time Shanhai Town won the battle map, Lin Jing refrained from calling. This time Shanhai Town was promoted to the number one county in the world, Lin Jing couldn't bear it any longer and called to express her congratulations cryptically.

"Xiao Shuo, you did a good job!"

"Thank you, auntie!"

"I really didn't expect you to achieve such a result. In the future, my aunt will have to rely on you to support her."

Ouyang Shuo was embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, please don't make fun of me anymore." In order to distract Auntie's attention, Ouyang Shuo had to forcefully change the subject and said, "By the way, Auntie. I want to talk to you, Shangxue. The mercenary group has launched a cooperation, how about it, are you interested?"

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?"

"I hope that the Shangxue Mercenary Corps can set up a branch specifically to recruit professional players. The prerequisite is that the professional players recruited are those who are willing to settle in the player's territory."

Lin Jing's expression changed, "Xiao Shuo, do you want to recruit professional players for the territory?"

"good."

"This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Our mercenary group needs to be paid." Lin Jing switched to the deputy head of Shang Xue's mercenary group in an instant, and began to discuss business with her nephew in a serious manner.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, expressing his appreciation for his aunt's professionalism, and said with a smile, "Of course I won't let Shang Xue's mercenaries work in vain. You know, I have what you need most."

Lin Jing's eyes lit up, and she said uncertainly, "Weapons and equipment?"

"good!"

"But, in this way, won't you be exposed?" Lin Jing said worriedly.

Ouyang Shuo's heart warmed up. After all, it was blood relatives. The first consideration was the safety of the other party. Ouyang Shuo smiled mysteriously and said, "It's okay. It will take some time to form such a branch. Who knows what will happen in the future. In short, as long as you know, I have the ability to pay the reward. I think Xie Siyun will definitely Supporting you, with the two of you making the decision, this cooperation can be achieved, isn't it?"

Lin Jing gave Ouyang Shuo a strange look, nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind."

"Thank you, auntie!"

"You, why are you being polite to me? Besides, this is a win-win cooperation, isn't it?"

"Then, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The next day, Ouyang Shuo went online on time.

Ouyang Shuo walked out of the room. In the courtyard, Yingyou and Qing'er were packing their luggage with maids Siqin and Siqi. Starting today, the two sisters will move into the West Side Hospital.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Yingyou put down the salute in her hand, walked forward, and said with concern: "Brother, Qing'er and I moved to the west side courtyard, and you are left alone in the main courtyard, it's too deserted. In my opinion , Let’s hire some more maids. You are the head of a county now, you can’t be as casual as before, and you don’t even have anyone around you to serve food and daily life, outsiders will see jokes.”

Ouyang Shuo was stunned, then nodded and said, "Yingyou, what you said is also reasonable. How about this, I will leave it to you to handle the matter of recruiting maids."

Yingyou immediately gave Ouyang Shuo a hygienic eye, and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, you really save trouble."

Recruiting a maid for Ouyang Shuo is a big or small matter. As the master of the lord's mansion, Ouyang Shuo's maid is naturally the eldest sister among the maids in the backyard. She belongs to the management level, and her status is higher than that of piano and chess players earlier. Therefore, it is not an easy task to make decisions here.

Of course, for Cui Yingyou who came from a wealthy family, this is not a difficult task. Don't look at what Ouyang Shuo said casually, but in fact he has considered it thoroughly.

Ouyang Shuo ignored Yingyou's joke, and asked curiously, "Your, do you have to name the courtyard you live in? West Side Courtyard, West Side Courtyard, it's too awkward to call."

Before Yingyou could say anything, Qing'er jumped over and said with a smile, "Brother, we have already thought about the name, and it is called Qingyingyuan. How about it, isn't it a good name?"

"Qingyingyuan? That's right!" Ouyang Shuo pondered for a while, and he understood that this was a combination of two names. What's even better is that Qingying's homonym is "friendship", which symbolizes the relationship between the two sisters, which is really good.

"Hee hee!" Qing'er seemed a little complacent.

Ouyang Shuo didn't stay in the backyard, he got up and walked towards the front yard.

The front yard is also busy, and the administrative staff of various departments are busy moving their office supplies and documents to the side courtyard on the left.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing walked over hand in hand, and said with a smile, "The Lord's Mansion has changed a lot, it's really a sign of prosperity."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, thinking of the name of Qingying Courtyard in the backyard, it seems that the front yard should also be named, otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to call it. He told the two of them about this idea, and naturally they got unanimous approval.

Ouyang Shuo knew that his literary talent was limited, so he didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he said, "I have to thank you two for choosing a name."

Tian Wenjing's expression moved, and he took the lead to say: "During the Ming Dynasty, in the imperial palace, there were two halls of Wenhua and Wuying. One Wenhua and one Wuying complement each other. Nowadays, the east and west courtyards in our mansion happen to be one Wenhua and one Wuying. Wenhua Academy and Martial Arts Academy?"

If it was in real history, it would be treasonous to take such a name. But this is a game, and the main map has no unified dynasty at all.

Ouyang Shuo was quite satisfied with the name, looked at Fan Zhongyan, and asked, "What do you think, Mister?"

Although Fan Zhongyan felt that it was out of style to steal the names of his predecessors, what Tian Wenjing said was reasonable and coincided with the ambition of the adults, so he stopped objecting and nodded in agreement.

After deciding on the name of the courtyard, the next step is to arrange for someone to carve a plaque. Of course, Ouyang Shuo, the lord, doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing, the people below will take care of it consciously.

Ouyang Shuo walked out of the lord's mansion and walked towards the barracks. What he is most concerned about now is the situation of yesterday's captives and the casualties of Shanhai Town's army.

Among the barracks, the cavalry battalion, the swimming town garrison battalion and other ministries who came to reinforce them were still stationed here and did not leave immediately.

Before Ouyang Shuo left yesterday, he had already explained to the Director of Military Affairs, Ge Hongliang, that a temporary military affairs meeting would be held this morning to discuss the issue of army reorganization.

In the barracks meeting hall, the generals of each battalion gathered together.

Ouyang Shuo sat at the top, looked at Ge Hongliang who sat at the top of the left row, and said, "Director Ge, please introduce the statistics of the prisoners and the casualties of our army."

After Ge Hongliang got up and saluted, he began to report: "Before introducing the prisoners, I will report the casualties of our army. The first battalion of the Beihai Fleet lost 50 people; the cavalry battalion lost 50 people; the city defense battalion of Yushui Town One hundred people were lost, including fifty cavalry and fifty sword and shield soldiers; one hundred people were lost in the Shanhai Town City Defense Battalion, including fifty crossbowmen and fifty sword and shield soldiers; two infantry battalions were lost in total. One hundred and fifty people; the Shenji Battalion lost ten people. In addition, the civilian husband team lost one hundred people. Added together, a total of five hundred and sixty people were killed, which can be called a heavy loss."

Ge Hongliang paused and waited for everyone to digest before continuing: "For this campaign, a total of 3,000 prisoners of war were recruited. Among them, there were 300 prisoners of water bandits, 700 prisoners of cavalry, 1,000 prisoners of ordinary rogues, and prisoners of elite rogues." One thousand people. Among the two thousand bandit prisoners of war, there are one thousand infantrymen and one thousand archers."

After Ge Hongliang finished his report, he returned to his seat.

Ouyang Shuo remained calm and continued to ask, "What about the reorganization plan of the Military Affairs Department?"

Shi Wansui and other generals looked at Ge Hongliang together. This is related to the vital interests of everyone present, so they are naturally very concerned. Some suffered heavy losses and urgently needed fresh blood.

Ge Hongliang has been the director of military affairs for a while, but he still feels a little nervous when he is stared at by these generals. Fortunately, he has the support of the lord behind him, otherwise, these generals really cannot be restrained.

"The Military Affairs Administration means to give priority to replenishing the dead soldiers of each battalion. The remaining prisoners of war can also form another cavalry battalion and three infantry battalions. The specific arrangements are for adults to decide."

Ge Hongliang played Tai Chi, but did not propose a specific reorganization plan.

Ouyang Shuo frowned, and he could tell that Ge Hongliang, the director of military affairs, was a bit lacking in confidence. It seems that if there is a chance in the future, it is necessary to find a historical celebrity to sit in charge of the Military Affairs Administration.
