In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo took the time to go to the barracks to change jobs for the infantry squadron again.
In the barracks, the infantry squadron has already lined up. He went directly to the job transfer secret room in the barracks, pressed his right hand on the door, and opened the job transfer.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for opening the secret room for job transfer in the barracks. The middle-level barracks can transfer peasants to level 1 militiamen, and the job transfer fee is 10 silver coins. It can also transfer level 10 militiamen to first-level soldiers. The job fee is 1 gold coin. Please choose the job transfer method!"
"Change to a first-tier soldier!"
"System prompt: Confirmation of job transfer method, please select the number of job transfers!"
"100 people!"
"System prompt: Please choose the direction of job transfer. You can choose infantry, sailor or cavalry. Among them, the infantry job transfer fee is 50 silver coins, the sailor job transfer fee is 100 silver coins, and the cavalry job transfer fee is 150 silver coins."
"Choose infantry!"
"System prompt: The number of job transfers is confirmed, and 50 gold coins will be deducted from the player Qiyue Wuyi."
After the job transfer of the hundred soldiers was completed, Ouyang Shuo deliberately checked the attributes of the infantry.
[Name]: Tiedan
[Identity]: The first fire soldier of the infantry squadron
[Occupation]: Infantry
[Grade]: Tier 1
[Battle power]: 12 points
[Consumption]: 2 units of grain/day
[Skill]: Basic chopping
[Equipment]: ordinary ring sword, ordinary leather armor, ordinary wooden shield
[Evaluation]: This is the most basic infantry unit. In order to give full play to the combat advantages of infantry, in addition to strict training, you also need to be equipped with better equipment.
In "Earth Online", infantry can be subdivided into sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, axemen, spearmen, longbowmen, shortbowmen and other types of arms, as well as light infantry and heavy infantry. When changing jobs, the default is an ordinary sword and shield soldier.
Compared with cavalry, the attributes of infantry are obviously weaker, so the job transfer cost is only one-third of that of cavalry. The combat power value of infantry is 3 points lower than that of cavalry, the most important thing is the gap in equipment.
After paying the job transfer fee, Ouyang Shuo only had 80 gold coins left in his pocket, and once again encountered a financial crisis. It seems that it is time for these soldiers to show up to loot and earn some extra money for the territory.
He called Shi Wansui, Lin Yi, and several fire chiefs to the barracks meeting room, and said straight to the point: "Generals, the year is over, and it's time to move your muscles. This time, the area of the territory has increased by a full one." Hundreds of square kilometers, there will definitely be new bandit camps. I have only one request, and that is to find them and eliminate them. I am not afraid to tell you that the territory is currently short of funds, and whether it can solve the urgent need depends on your performance. "
All the generals were excited by what Ouyang Shuo said, especially Zhang Daniu and Zhao Sihu. On the night of New Year's Eve, they both broke through to the eighth-level elite soldiers, only one step away from the ninth-level elite soldiers. The competition for the squadron leader of the infantry squadron has entered a fierce stage. What they desire most now is a tough battle, hoping to break through the bottleneck and complete the promotion.
Zhang Daniu and Zhao Sihu lined up almost at the same time, and said loudly: "My lord, you can rest assured to entrust us with the task of exterminating the camp of bandits, and guarantee to complete the task."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Okay, the morale is high. From now on, spread the net within the territory and start a blanket search, first find the location of the bandit camp. After finding out the situation, don't act rashly, follow up with I will report. This time, I will go out with you personally."
"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison.
Walking out of the barracks, passing by the commercial street again, the major shops have reopened. After all, the game is different from reality, and there is no such thing as the Spring Festival holiday. On the street, people come and go, very lively.
As soon as Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord's Mansion, Du Xiaolan, the Director of Supplies, came to his office and said respectfully, "My lord, I have something to report."
In the last assessment, Du Xiaolan was fined by Ouyang Shuo for three months, so she was extra careful during this interview.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have the energy to pay attention to his subordinate's small thoughts, so he asked directly, "What's the matter?"
"My lord. Today, my subordinates took stock of the grain reserves in the granary, and it is less than 2,000 units. The granary is in an emergency, please deal with it as soon as possible." Du Xiaolan said carefully.
Ouyang Shuo patted his head, he was busy these days, but he forgot to buy food. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of units of food seized from the bandit camp last time, the food in the territory would have been in a hurry. "Don't worry, you arrange someone now to follow me to the market to buy food."
Ouyang Shuo reluctantly left the Lord's Mansion again, came to the middle-level market, clicked on the material trading platform, directly spent 50 gold coins, and purchased 50,000 units of grain at a time. With the increase in the population of the territory, this batch of food will not last long. When it's time to upgrade to the second-level township, it will have to make a big purchase.
Starting from the villages and towns, the shortage of food began to appear slowly. If there is no sufficient financial support, then wait for a famine. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon after processing the food. Before Ouyang Shuo had time to look at the two Nian beasts still in the stable, he went offline again.
In reality, it was already the second day of the Lunar New Year, so Ouyang Shuo didn't visit relatives and friends, nor did he wander around. I was tired enough to visit the temple fair yesterday. It's better to calm down today, so he stayed at home and watched cartoons with Bing'er and Xue'er all day.
Early the next morning, Zhou Haichen, the newly appointed Director of Household Registration, walked into the mayor's office for the first time.
Ouyang Shuo asked him to sit down with a smile, and said in a warm voice, "How is it, the work of the Household Registration Department is going well?"
"Thanks to your trust, everything is going well." Zhou Haichen said respectfully.
"That's good, come here today, but is there any outstanding talent?"
Zhou Haichen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes. Among the refugees that were picked up today, there is a Jinshi named Xu Shuda who once served as a teacher. The subordinates feel that this person is extraordinary, so I came here to report to you."
"Jinshi?! You are indeed a rare talent, and you have done a good job. How about you go and invite Mr. Xiwen, and bring that Xu Shuda to me by the way, and say that you have something important to discuss." Ouyang Shuo ordered.
"Yes!" Although Zhou Haichen was a little puzzled, he still held back from asking, and went out to call someone.
Within five minutes, Fan Zhongyan, Zhou Haichen and Xu Shuda walked into the office. The last one should be Xu Shuda, so Ouyang Shuo checked his attributes.
[Name]: Xu Shuda (Gold Level)
[Identity]: Resident of Shanhai Town
[Occupation]: Civilian (Jinshi)
[Loyalty]: 75 points
[Commander]: 20 [Force]: 18 [Intelligence]: 45 [Politics]: 60
[Specialty]: Studying (improving the learning progress of the residents of the territory by 15%), enlightenment (improving the quality of the residents of the territory by 10%)
[Evaluation]: Jinshi background, good at academics. Rigorous, knowledgeable, and of good character.
After reading Xu Shuda's attributes, Ouyang Shuo was even more satisfied. This is a typical educational talent, and his two specialties "study and education" are very practical. He is more confident about the next arrangement.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ouyang Shuo got straight to the point and said, "With the increase in the population of the territory, the continuous improvement of private schools, ancestral halls, Mazu Temple, Lianzhou College and other facilities, the cultural and educational undertakings in the territory have shown a trend of vigorous development. Before , I once had the idea of setting up a special department to preside over the cultural and educational affairs of the territory. It was just because I couldn't find a suitable candidate for the chief officer, so I kept putting it on hold. Today I have to meet Mr. Shuda, and I am in a good place. Therefore, I It was decided to set up a Department of Culture and Education under the Administration Department, with Xu Shuda as the head of the Department of Culture and Education."
Xu Shuda didn't expect that he would be able to be reused when he first came to Shanhai Town, and said excitedly: "Thank you for the promotion, sir, and I will definitely live up to the trust!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi, Xu Shuda has been reused, and his loyalty has increased by 5 points!"
Fan Zhongyan nodded in agreement, and said: "Congratulations, my lord, I have gained another talented person. Taking this opportunity, my subordinates have the courage to request to resign as the dean of Lianzhou College, and I hope my lord will agree."
"Oh? Sir, why is this so? But there is something that I didn't do well, please point it out, sir." Ouyang Shuo said doubtfully.
"No, no, that's not the case. The future of the education-related territory requires a special person to be in charge. At present, the administrative affairs of the administrative department have involved most of the energy of the subordinates, and it is really impossible to take care of Lianzhou College. Therefore, the subordinates really want to To resign from the position of dean, it is suggested that Shu Da be the dean of Lianzhou College." Fan Zhongyan quickly explained.
Only then did Ouyang Shuo feel relieved, looked at Xu Shuda, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I will add another burden to you, Shuda, and concurrently serve as the dean of Lianzhou College. I hope you can work with the college's professor, Mr. Su Ze, to perfect the The school-running system of the college is to train a mature team of teachers. As soon as possible, Lianzhou College will get out of the current predicament of temporarily offering crash courses, become more formalized, and truly become the cradle for training civil servants in the territory."
Xu Shuda nodded solemnly, deeply aware of the great responsibility, and said: "Thank you for your trust, my subordinates will definitely do my best so that I can live up to your kindness."
To be honest, the establishment of the Department of Culture and Education this time has further expanded the powers of the Administration Department. The current Administrative Office consists of the Examination Department, Household Registration Department, Agriculture Department, Construction Department, and Culture and Education Department, covering almost the core functions of the six ancient ministries except the Ministry of War. The balance of power among the three major agencies has been quietly broken.
In fact, this was also the result of Ouyang Shuo's intentional guidance. He does not want to refer to the ancient system of three provinces and six ministries for the future political structure of the territory. Now that there is a more reasonable administrative structure in modern society as a reference, it seems a bit silly and unwise to copy the ancient administrative structure mechanically.
