After completing the job change, Ouyang Shuo left the barracks. Next, he will not intervene in the daily training of the crossbow cavalry, territorial patrols, and the garrison of the Beimu Salt Farm.
He was very relieved that there was a famous general like Shi Wansui sitting in the barracks, a vigorous young general like Lin Yi, and mature fire chiefs. What he has to do is to fully delegate power, so that the fire chiefs can be trained and grow up faster.
Of course, he will not let go of the core right to appoint and remove personnel. This is a core element of his influence over troops. If he was really left alone, it would be hard to say whether the army would recognize him as the lord in the future.
That's the beauty of the game. NPCs are not rigid data, they all have their own feelings. The more advanced the NPC, the higher the level of intelligence.
Take Shi Wansui as an example, as an imperial historical figure, his experience and knowledge in this virtual world even surpassed Ouyang Shuo as a player. Although restricted by system rules and historical background, Shi Wansui will not disobey Ouyang Shuo's order. But if Ouyang Shuo's actions are too absurd to convince him. Then, he is likely to do things without working hard.
Their loyalty cannot be simply summarized by the loyalty in the attribute column. Although they will not betray, they will also fight for power and profit, and they will also draw circles.
Conversely, it is precisely because of such a high degree of simulation. Lords can use this platform to get full exercise. After all, no matter what, the cost of making mistakes in the game is much less than in reality.
After leaving the barracks, Ouyang Shuo began to think about what to do next. Everything in the territory is running in an orderly manner, and it is firmly moving towards the third-level village. The financial problem that plagued him before was also completely resolved in this operation to wipe out the bandit camp.
Thinking of this, it reminded him of the few architectural drawings in the storage bag. There are a total of five architectural drawings in his storage bag, which are the architectural drawings of the stables, the architectural drawings of the martial arts hall, the architectural drawings of the medical hall, the architectural drawings of the tailor shop, and the architectural drawings of the weapon workshop.
Among them, stables and weapon workshops are the basic buildings of the third-level villages. Ouyang Shuo took a look at the construction conditions of the two buildings, and regrettably found that only stables can be built at present.
[Stable]: A place where horses are raised, also known as a stable. Construction conditions: Stable construction drawings, 200 units of wood, 50 units of stone. Build time: one day.
[Weapon Workshop]: A comprehensive weapon and equipment manufacturing workshop that can create ordinary weapons and armor. Construction conditions: senior blacksmith, weapon workshop construction blueprint, 400 units of wood, 200 units of stone. Build time: two days.
The weapon workshop needs a high-level blacksmith, but there is no such thing in Shanhai Village at present. The only blacksmith, Li Tiezhu, was promoted to an intermediate blacksmith not long ago, and it is difficult to be promoted to a senior blacksmith again in a short time. Fortunately, there is still time, Ouyang Shuo is looking forward to, one day he can directly create a senior blacksmith.
Among the basic buildings of the second-level villages, there are still architectural drawings of ancestral halls and private schools. Now that he had money, Ouyang Shuo rushed directly to the primary market and bought these two architectural blueprints for 10 gold coins. In this way, among all the basic buildings in the second-level villages, except for the private school, which is short of a scholar, the construction can start.
In the five days before this, the construction department has completed the construction of the arrow tower, the primary mining field, and 15 residential courtyards.
Go back to the courtyard and walk into the administrative office. It happened that Zhao Dewang, deputy director of the construction department, was in the office. Ouyang Shuo handed over all the architectural drawings to him, and ordered him to complete the five buildings as soon as possible. In addition, he did not forget to ask Zhao Dewang to build a separate stable for Hei Xuanfeng next to the courtyard.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo went to visit the two militiamen who were seriously injured yesterday. After being treated by Dr. Song, the two were out of danger.
One of the young men was only twenty years old and his name was Song Yi. During the battle, two fingers on his left hand were cut off by the bandits, leaving him permanently disabled. When Ouyang Shuo went to see him, the little guy couldn't hold back and cried like a child.
The other was a thirty-year-old middle-aged man named Li Tie, whose right eye was shot by a bandit's bow and arrow and completely blinded.
This is a real man, when Ouyang Shuo looked at him. His mood has calmed down, and he can still talk and laugh with him. Half-seriously, half-jokingly said: "My lord, even if I, Li Tie, only have one eye, I can still kill the enemy."
Ouyang Shuo felt sore, "Well, I believe in you. However, it's not going to the front line. Soon, when the territory reaches the township level, a special security team for the territory will be established. At that time, I will arrange you and Song Yi Enter the security team. Now, your task is to take good care of your injuries. When you recover from your injuries, don't waste your martial arts. I don't think I will recruit you into the security team, but you can't even catch a thief."
Li Tie immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely not embarrass you or the militia."
"Well, I believe in you. Rehabilitate well, I won't bother you to recuperate, remember my words, don't have any psychological burden. I will remember your credit in my heart. When the time is right, I will give you enough compensate."
"Thank you for your care, sir." After Ouyang Shuo's reassurance and his promise, the two of them calmed down completely as if they had taken a reassurance.
Back at the Lord's Mansion, I saw two women chatting in the corridor of the west wing of the courtyard.
"Sister Gu, we have been here for a day. The adults didn't say how to arrange us, and they don't know what he looks like." The one who spoke was a young and beautiful woman, Cardamom Nianhua. The clothes on her body were made of ordinary linen, but the workmanship was extremely exquisite, which made her look even more innocent.
"Little girl, what's the matter?! I heard that our lord is a handsome and beautiful young man, what else can you think?!" The other one is a middle-aged young woman who wears very plain clothes without any makeup.
The young woman was teased by the other party, she immediately refused, and said coquettishly: "Sister, don't make fun of others. Although Qing'er is young, she also knows the truth of repaying kindness. My lord rescued me from the gangsters, Qing'er There is only gratitude, but I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts.”
"Who says it's not. You don't even know what kind of life I lived in the rogue camp before. It's simply unbearable to look back." The middle-aged young woman is obviously also deeply touched. "However, I have heard about it. Master Cui, the chief officer of the Material Reserve Department of our territory, was originally living in the wilderness just like us. Your lord feels that her life experience is miserable and cherishes her talent. Not only does Master Cui be regarded as a righteous sister, Moreover, he has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Master Cui has not failed his trust, and has managed the material storage department in an orderly manner, which has won everyone's respect."
"Well, Qing'er has also heard about it. Sister Cui is not only beautiful, but also so capable. But Qing'er admires her very much." The young woman is obviously still a girl at heart, and she always worships Yingyou as an idol.
"Hey, little girl, don't underestimate yourself. My sister has never heard of your talent in tailoring. Shanhai Village is also a land of outstanding people. My sister, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Master Cui." The middle-aged young woman is extremely knowledgeable.
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo was standing at the gate of the yard, his face full of embarrassment. From their conversation, he already guessed that the two in front of him should be the senior chef Gu Sanniang and the senior tailor Mu Qingsi whom Gu Xiuwen told him in the morning. Unintentionally, he heard a private conversation at his daughter's house, and he neither entered nor retreated.
"Cough!" Ouyang Shuo coughed intentionally, and then walked into the courtyard unhurriedly.
"Ah!" Turning to see Ouyang Shuo, Mu Qingsi immediately blushed. On the other hand, the middle-aged young woman was calm and composed, and asked uncertainly: "But the lord is back?! Mistress Gu Sanniang, please greet the lord!"
"It's me. I was busy earlier, so I neglected you two. Please forgive me."
"The housewife is terrified. I was born in a miserable life, but fortunately the adults rescued me, and the housewife is very grateful." Gu Sanniang glanced at the newly recognized younger sister beside her, and saw that she hadn't recovered yet, and stood aside, Blushing all over her face, Na Na couldn't speak, so she pulled her sleeve with her hand.
Originally, Mu Qingsi was not such a shy girl, but the conversation with Gu Sanniang just now was too private. Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo, the protagonist of the conversation, appeared in front of him, naturally he was very shy. I don't know when the adults came and how much they heard.
I was uneasy in my heart, with the shyness of my daughter's family. When Ouyang Shuo opened his mouth to speak, he still hadn't adjusted his mood for a while. After Gu Sanniang pulled her sleeves, she just came to her senses and hurriedly bowed to salute, "Mu Qingsi, my lord, please be safe!"
Naturally, Ouyang Shuo would not be puzzled, pretended not to see her predicament, and said gently, "Miss Mu is well, are you still used to living here?"
"Thank you for your care, sir. Everything is fine." Mu Qingsi began to calm down, "Qingsi thanked you for saving my life." After saying that, she was about to kneel down to Ouyang Shuo.
Unable to allow it, Ouyang Shuo hurriedly stepped forward, helped her up, and said earnestly, "Miss Mu, don't do this, I don't want to see this. I'm an idiot for how old you are, if you don't mind me, you can treat me as an older brother. "No matter how much Ouyang Shuo felt sorry for this eighteen-year-old girl, he didn't feel it was too much.
Mu Qingsi's face turned red again in an instant, thinking that Ouyang Shuo said that because she heard their conversation, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Qingsi's status is low, I dare not have such extravagant hopes!"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "That's wrong. All the villagers in our Shanhai Village have not had a rough past. But as long as we join Shanhai Village, we are a family, and there is no distinction between high and low. The past Everything, let it go with the wind. Everyone in Shanhai Village, each relying on his own ability, performing his duties, earns his own living. Therefore, girl, please don't belittle yourself. If you don't agree, then I will be angry." Ouyang Shuo With a straight face on purpose, he looked at Mu Qingsi.
The little girl's eyes were reddened by what Ouyang Shuo said, and she called obediently, "Brother!"
Ouyang Shuo responded, and said happily, "That's right. In Shanhai Village, don't have any psychological burden. Brother has been fascinated by your tailoring skills for a long time."
After comforting Mu Qingsi, Ouyang Shuo turned to Gu Sanniang and said, "I've heard Xiuwen praise Madam Gu's cooking skills. In this way, at this stage, Madam is temporarily responsible for the catering of the courtyard. When a restaurant is built in the territory, Be sure to ask Madam to take the spoon."
Gu Sanniang smiled, "Sanniang, but it's up to the adults to arrange!"
