After the unveiling ceremony, everyone dispersed.
The girl Qing'er didn't leave, she dragged Ouyang Shuo into the bank. She walked quickly to the counter, handed over the voucher she just got, and said proudly: "I want to exchange it into cash."
The staff at the counter was a young man. How could he have imagined that someone would come to handle the business just after the bank opened. The bank's money, which Ouyang Shuo put in just now, is still lying in the treasury, there is no dime at the counter, how can I exchange it for her. The young man was so anxious by Qing'er, his face was reddish, he was very embarrassed.
Ouyang Shuo didn't stop Qing'er from being capricious, just in time he also wanted to see how the bank's staff handled their affairs. Seeing Ouyang Shuo's silence, Yingyou immediately figured out his intentions. Without further ado, he took the staff member directly to the silver vault in the backyard to withdraw the cash.
In less than ten minutes, Qing'er exchanged the voucher for 20 silver coins. The little girl put them into her cute little purse with a smile on her face. Adding the gold coin she rewarded earlier, she instantly transformed into a little rich woman.
Ouyang Shuo stood aside, nodding in satisfaction, the bank's work efficiency is still very high.
Back at the lord's mansion, Qing'er handed over the food coupons and meat coupons she had just obtained to Gu Sanniang in a flattering manner. After privatization, everyone living in the Lord's Mansion, except for Ouyang Shuo, naturally had to pay for food, but there was no reason to eat for nothing, Qing'er was conscious of it.
Even as the chef of the lord's mansion, starting tomorrow, Gu Sanniang will have to go to the grain shop or butcher shop outside to buy food. There is absolutely no reason to take it directly from the warehouse like now. Ouyang Shuo hopes that the Lord's Mansion can set an example and set an example for all administrative units.
Now all the divisions and offices are concentrated in the Lord's Mansion, and nothing can be seen. When the scale of the territory expands in the future, each department will naturally go out to work independently. He didn't want that kind of situation of using the public for personal gain to appear in Shanhai Village early.
Now those who live in the lord's mansion, except for the second child, are all well paid, so they don't care about such a small amount of food expenses. As for Erwazi's alimony, Yingyou has voluntarily stated that she will bear it.
Ouyang Shuo was the only person in the entire territory, who was only responsible for paying the salary, not receiving any salary, and was completely supported by the territory. This is not because he is hypocritical, but that such an institutional arrangement must be used to maintain the authority of the lord. After all, this is still an ancient society, and he must follow the basic rules of the game. He doesn't dare to play with the democratic system of modern society unless his brain is flooded.
Gu Sanniang had already been instructed by Ouyang Shuo before, so she knew it well. She was not pretentious, took the ticket handed over by Qing'er, and said with a smile: "Our second girl is promising!"
The relationship between Qing'er and Sanniang is excellent, and it's on par with Yingyou. She coquettishly hugged Sanniang's arm, shook it again and again, and kept acting like a baby, "My sister will always make fun of others, but Qing'er will not follow her."
Ouyang Shuo looked at Qing'er's childish appearance, and shook his head amusedly, when will this girl really grow up. He couldn't help but jokingly said: "Qing'er, you just got so much money, aren't you going to buy the tailor shop? You are not the only tailor in the territory now, if someone else gets in first, don't cry at me then." .”
"Ah, I forgot, hurry up." Qing'er didn't care about Ouyang Shuo's jokes, and rushed into the administrative office next to her, looking for Zhao Dewang from the construction department.
Ouyang Shuo looked at this monkey and couldn't get angry. He looked at Yingyou tacitly, shook his head helplessly, and walked into the administrative office.
In the office, Zhao Dewang was introducing the price of the shop to Qing'er, "According to the price set by the Construction Department, the price of the tailor shop is 56 silver coins. You can pay it off in one lump sum, or you can choose to take a loan from the bank."
"It's so expensive~~~" Qing'er muttered, and reluctantly took out the gold coin she just got from her purse, handed it to Zhao Dewang pitifully, and said arrogantly: "I want to pay in one lump sum! "
Zhao Dewang looked at the gold coin and shook his head with a wry smile. He was not as capable as Ouyang Shuo, who could melt gold coins away, so he could only look at Ouyang Shuo who had just walked in for help. Ouyang Shuo took the gold coin and put it into the storage pouch. When he took it out again, it had turned into 100 silver coins.
Zhao Dewang took the 56 silver coins and returned the rest to Qing'er. Then he took out a blank deed from the table that had been stamped with the lord's seal, and filled in the real estate information and the owner's information carefully. Thanks to the last adult literacy class training, otherwise, just writing this would have stumped him.
Qing'er accepted the deed with a smile, and waved it in front of Ouyang Shuo as if showing off. The latter knocked her head mercilessly, and said with a smile: "Take it well, I won't make up for you if you lose it."
Qing'er stared at Ouyang Shuo with a small head, ignored him, and ran to Yingyou to show off with a smile.
Ouyang Shuo looked at Zhao Dewang and said, "I see, the Construction Department should just set up an office in the bank. In this way, the villagers can handle house purchase and loan at the same time, so that they don't have to go to both ends."
"Your Excellency should be considerate. How about this, I will be in charge of the bank in the near future, and I will definitely do this job well." Zhao Dewang quickly issued a military order.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, turned and left the office.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the cavalry returned from suppressing the bandits. Upon receiving the news, Ouyang Shuo personally led the chief officials of the Lord's Mansion to greet the returning warriors at the entrance of the village.
Shi Wansui rode his yellow puma and walked in front of the team. When he saw Ouyang Shuo, he immediately got off the horse, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The last general, Shi Wansui, pays homage to the lord."
The cavalry behind them got off their horses one after another, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "My lord!"
Ouyang Shuo lifted Shi Wansui up and said with a smile, "All the soldiers have worked hard!"
Lin Yi was responsible for escorting the spoils and handing them over to the Administrative Office, Finance Department, and Material Reserve Department by category. Ouyang Shuo led Shi Wansui to the meeting hall of the lord's mansion, and listened to his report on the details of the bandit suppression.
After sitting down, Shi Wansui said: "The extermination of the bandit camp this time is more tortuous than expected. Originally, according to the plan, the final plan is to lure the bandits out of the camp by referring to the tactic used by the Lord last time to lure the enemy. Take advantage of the maneuverability of the cavalry in the wild and get rid of them."
"Unexpectedly, their leader was very cautious this time. Although they didn't see through our disguise to lure the enemy, they only sent a dozen or so bandits to pursue them. As a last resort, the last general could only lead the team directly into the camp and follow They fight hand to hand."
Ouyang Shuo nodded heavily, "From this point of view, when expanding the army next time, it is necessary to increase infantry. Infantry is better at this kind of work of attacking cities and conquering territory. Using cavalry to raid the camp is tantamount to attacking the enemy with your own weaknesses. long."
"What your lord said is very true. Fortunately, the enemy this time is not too strong, and the soldiers fought bravely. Finally, they lived up to your lord's entrustment and successfully wiped out the bandit camp." Shi Wansui nodded in agreement.
Ouyang Shuo knew that the real battle process was definitely not as easy as Shi Wansui said. Recalling the exhausted scene of the soldiers returning just now, he asked with concern, "How about the casualties of the troops this time?"
"The casualties were more serious than expected. This time, a total of 122 people from the cavalry and the Military Intelligence Division participated in the battle. Among them, one was killed, five were seriously injured, and 24 were slightly injured."
Hearing that someone was killed in battle, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but twitched in his heart, and asked solemnly, "Someone was killed in battle, has his family been notified?"
"As far as the general knows, the soldier who died in battle was an orphan and had no relatives in Shanhai Village."
Ouyang Shuo nodded silently. This kind of situation is not uncommon in the wilderness. A large part of the refugees are alone, at most there are a few fellow villagers, and it is rare to have a real family.
One hundred and twenty men went to battle, and there were thirty casualties. Nearly a quarter of the casualty ratio made this victory seem a bit bitter.
Ouyang Shuo knew that for a fierce general like Shi Wansui, victory was his fundamental pursuit. The casualties of ordinary soldiers are not the top priority in his mind. Therefore, when formulating the battle plan, the lives of ordinary soldiers were not too scrupled.
This time letting Shi Wansui lead the team out alone was a major mistake of Ouyang Shuo. If he had been there at that time, he would never have allowed such a reckless raid on the camp directly.
After all, he won the victory, so it was not easy for Ouyang Shuo to criticize him face to face, but he didn't have the slightest talk, and directly sent Shi Wansui back to the barracks.
After sending Shi Wansui away, Ouyang Shuo got up and went to the hospital to visit the wounded.
With nearly 30 wounded at one time, Dr. Song was too busy to keep his feet on the ground. Fortunately, most of them are minor injuries, and there is no major problem with a simple bandage. The key is that those five seriously injured, missing arms and broken legs, can save their lives this time, it is God's blessing.
Coming out of the medical hall, Ouyang Shuo was in a heavy heart, feeling somewhat resentful towards Shi Wansui. He handed over the army to him, but he didn't know how to cherish it. He was really a fool without a brain.
certainly. As a qualified lord, he would not show such resentment. From the looks of outsiders, the lord is still so gentle and kind.
After dinner, Shanhai Village held a cremation ceremony in the square. In addition to the soldier who died in the first battle, another soldier died in the afternoon, which made Ouyang Shuo even more distressed.
Because the entire territory now will be the future capital, it is not suitable for building a cemetery, so cremation is chosen. Ouyang Shuo planned to cremate the dead soldiers and store the ashes in the village ancestral hall. Wait until it is upgraded to a township and a cemetery is established before burial.
The villagers spontaneously came to the square to see off the fallen heroes. Ouyang Shuo personally lit the fire, and the flames blazed, engulfing the dead soldiers in an instant. In the changing firelight, Ouyang Shuo's expression was dignified and calm, making it difficult to fathom.
