August 3rd, ten o'clock in the morning.
Ouyang Shuo reappeared in the lord's office and began to deal with the backlog of government affairs for a week.
In the second half of July, the 8,100 gold coins earned by the Langshan Mine and Beimu Salt Farm are yet to be distributed by Ouyang Shuo. Because of this, many people have not yet received their salary for July.
In fact, there is nothing to distribute, and the Finance Department directly deducted 5100 gold coins. With the development of various projects, the Finance Department is a little tight, and 5100 gold coins is already the minimum limit.
The remaining 3,000 gold coins, 1,000 gold coins will be added to the Mulan Town Branch of the Four Seas Bank, and the last 2,000 gold coins will be used to activate the Heishi Town Branch of the Four Seas Bank.
Ouyang Shuo himself didn't hold back any money, not because he didn't need money, but because he held a huge amount of wealth in his hands, that is, those 120 authentic gold-level cheat books.
A month later, the price of cheat books continued to rise, approaching the 700 gold coin mark set by Ouyang Shuo. Ouyang Shuo plans to sell these cheat books in the near future to extract funds.
He has already decided to use the funds obtained from the sales cheats to buy a batch of grain before the price of grain has risen, and then sell it when the price of grain rises to earn the difference in the price.
If I remember correctly, when the price of food in the market was at its highest, it once rose to 30 copper coins per unit, a full three-fold increase. After deducting the 10% transaction tax, and excluding the storage cost of food and the waste caused by back-and-forth transportation, the rate of return can still reach 250%, which is much more affordable than the slow price increase of Ku and other cheats.
Ouyang Shuo has ordered the construction department to build a super large granary in the western outskirts of the city, which is specially used to store the purchased grain.
After a month of construction, the Southwest University Hall has basically taken shape, and the three colleges have also been established and started to recruit students. The rest is the construction of auxiliary facilities, which will not affect teaching activities.
According to Ouyang Shuo's instructions, all government officials including the three affiliated territories, except for a small number of civil officials such as Juren and Jinshi, must receive further education in Southwest University.
To this end, the Administrative Department has specially formulated a rotation training mechanism for officials at all levels, which not only ensures that all departments can operate normally, but also ensures that all officials will receive at least one month of advanced training with pay in the coming year.
Director of Finance Cui Yingyou took the initiative to study business at the School of Economics.
It is foreseeable that in the future, Shanhai County officials will usher in another promotion.
In addition, Gewuyuan also recruits skilled talents, completely breaking the low status of ancient craftsmen and improving the status of craftsmen in the territory.
A large number of carpenters, farmers, fruit growers and other talents were recruited into Gewuyuan to learn modern knowledge.
This incident caused an uproar in the territory. Fortunately, in the territory, there are no old-fashioned powerful forces, and most of them are ordinary people, so that this policy can be implemented.
In addition, the official medical department has also begun to officially operate.
In the afternoon, when Ouyang Shuo was dealing with government affairs, a system announcement suddenly came to his ears.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Shapolang who became the ninth lord in China to be upgraded to a first-level county seat, and will be rewarded with 600 points of merit!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Shapolang who became the ninth lord in China to be upgraded to a first-level county seat, and will be rewarded with 600 points of merit!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Shapolang who became the ninth lord in China to be upgraded to a first-level county seat, and will be rewarded with 600 points of merit!"
The most exciting thing about the successful advancement of Asura Town is the search for dragon acupuncture points. His Xunlong Town has met the basic requirements for applying for promotion, and the city wall has also been built. The only worry is the lack of troops.
According to Xunlong Dianxue, the current Xunlong Town, including the affiliated territories, is full of troops, and there are only 2,500 troops. This teaches him how to dare to apply for promotion rashly.
But Shura Town's advancement left only the last place in the competition for the top ten places in China. If you hesitate any longer, it is very likely that others will take the lead.
At this time, only Ouyang Shuo could help Xunlong to acupoint.
Without Ouyang Shuo opening his mouth, Xunlong Dianxue proposed that as long as Ouyang Shuo is willing to help Xunlong Town to advance successfully, he would allow Universal Bank to open a branch in Xunlong Town.
The reason why Xunlong Dianxue is so impatient is to compete for the top ten honors in China. Don't underestimate this honor, if used well, it can bring real benefits.
Not to mention other things, just being on the leaderboard of the territory can greatly increase the popularity of Xunlong Town, which will facilitate the recruitment of elite players in Xunlong Town in the later stage, and even increase its attractiveness to historical figures.
Ouyang Shuo thought that if he wanted to help Xunlong Town to upgrade, he would do nothing more than start with money and goods. With money, Xunlong Town can expand its army; with goods, that is, weapons and equipment, it can increase the combat effectiveness of the army.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo and Xunlong Dianxue reached a consensus and reached the following cooperation.
[1] Shanhai County opened a Xunlong Town branch of Sihai Bank in Xunlong Town, and the initial reserve fund should not be less than 5,000 gold coins. Xunlong Town is responsible for the construction of the bank, and Shanhai County guarantees that the funds will be in place within three days.
[2] Shanhai County sells 1,000 Tang knives and 1,000 compound bows to Xunlong Town for a total of 15,000 gold coins at the previously agreed price, that is, 5 gold coins for a Tang sword and 10 gold coins for a bow. This fund is automatically converted into a commercial loan from the Universal Bank, with a loan period of one year.
Calculated according to the monthly interest rate of 3% of the Sihai Bank commercial loan, the monthly repayment of the principal and interest is equal, the monthly repayment is 1490 gold coins, the total repayment is 17880 gold coins, and the total interest paid is 2880 gold coins.
Because the process of the game is much faster than the real world. Therefore, the monthly repayment here is basically equivalent to the annual repayment. A 1-year loan is equivalent to a 12-year loan in reality.
When the loan amount rose to 10,000 gold coins, the profitability of the Four Seas Bank began to become prominent.
Ouyang Shuo was not worried, Xunlong Dianmao had no ability to pay back. After all, after being promoted to the county seat, it is still possible to squeeze out more than a thousand gold coins a month.
Of course, it is conceivable that in the next year, life in Xunlong County will be very tight.
On the second day after signing the agreement, Ouyang Shuo rushed to the market and began to sell the secret books in his hand. In the market, there is still a shortage of gold-level authentic cheat books.
Because the practice of authentic cheats requires a lot of time to accumulate. Just like Ouyang Shuo's "Huangdi Neijing", which took two and a half months, at the end of July, he just reached the third level.
As for the "Bajiquan Jing" and "Yangjia Spear Jing", it took two or three months of practice before they entered the room. This is still in the case of someone giving pointers, otherwise the progress will be slower.
Therefore, the cheat book for the first practice is naturally to choose the higher level one, the better.
Ambitious players, including some high-end players, especially those in the top ten guilds or major forces, set their threshold for cultivating authentic cheats at the gold level.
Below the gold level, it is a waste of time to practice.
Therefore, this stage is the best period for selling gold level cheats. In the second year, some players will focus on the higher-level king-level cheats.
Ouyang Shuo first sold them one by one, each priced at 700 gold coins. Sure enough, as soon as it was put up, it was immediately photographed.
Following Ouyang Shuo's sell-off, the news that a large number of gold-level cheats appeared on the market immediately spread, attracting more players to come and buy them.
"Wow, I heard that a batch of real-name gold-level cheats suddenly appeared on the market."
"You're out of date, look, I've already bought a copy."
"I'll go, you are really rich, local tyrant!"
"Hey, this money was put together by a group of friends. In the next few months, I will eat pickles."
In the major guilds, there are special personnel responsible for monitoring market dynamics at any time.
Therefore, they are the first to react. The merchants of the various guilds did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported to the senior management of the guilds. Because the transaction exceeds a certain amount, the merchant cannot make a claim.
After the presidents of the various guilds heard the news, they immediately started raising funds without saying a word. The guild's ability to absorb money is still very terrifying.
If we really want to gather together, as long as each member contributes 1 gold coin, tens of thousands of funds can be raised.
Of course, such things cannot be separated, otherwise, the centripetal force of the guild will disappear. Players who can take out 1 gold coin at this stage are all core players. A rookie who has just entered the game can hardly maintain his own food and clothing, so there is no extra funds.
Seeing that the sales were good, Ouyang Shuo quietly raised the price of each copy to 705 gold coins after selling 20 copies in succession, and successfully sold another 20 copies.
At this time, the casual players basically withdrew from the competition, and the rest were big forces or big guilds.
For the remaining 80 copies, Ouyang Shuo simply packaged them up and sold them. Every 5 copies were sold as a set, and the price was 3550 gold coins, and the unit price was 710 gold coins.
Ouyang Shuo's sell-off was strategic. It wasn't a one-time sell-off, but only once every half hour or so. The time intervals in between are not the same. All the buyers couldn't figure out his bottom line, how many cheats he had left, and whether this order was the last one.
Until 12:00 noon, Ouyang Shuo still had 40 cheat books left in his hands.
At this time, Ouyang Shuo no longer placed the order, but turned around and left the market, returning to the Lord's Mansion for dinner.
The bustling sale of cheat books seems to have come to an end. If you didn't grab the power, you would be very annoyed. What they lose is that they are too slow to raise money.
After the noon break, Ouyang Shuo came to the market slowly. This time, he simply ordered 10 copies, each priced at 7,200 gold coins, equivalent to a unit price of 720 gold coins.
The desperate merchants who had been staring at the market were overjoyed when they saw the list that Ouyang Shuo put up.
As a result, the remaining 40 cheat books were sold out in less than half an hour.
