When Gu Xiuwen and his party left Shanhai Town, Ouyang Shuo gave him 200 gold coins for the transfer of the two newly formed sailor squadrons.
Because the combat power of the water bandits has surpassed the militia, they can skip the militia and directly transfer to sailors. The transfer fee for each sailor is 1 gold coin.
In "Earth Online", military generals do not have the authority to transfer soldiers. This authority is only available to the lord and the chief officer of the subordinate territory appointed by the lord. The intention of doing this is to form a check and balance to prevent generals from expanding the size of the army without permission.
Afterwards, Ouyang Shuo came to the intermediate market and first sold eight unused architectural blueprints for 40 gold coins. Then, he spent 200 gold coins to purchase a blueprint of an advanced barracks building. Since the establishment of the regular army, military expenditures have increased dramatically. In just a short while, 400 gold coins were consumed.
March 1st, at nine o'clock in the morning, in the Shanhai Town Council Hall.
Ouyang Shuo thought about the territory upgrade in his mind, a white light flashed, and in the middle of the meeting hall, a golden stone tablet slowly rose from the ground. He pressed his right hand on the front of the stele, and a system notification sounded.
"System prompt: Detect the upgrade conditions of Shanhai Town..."
"Condition 1: The population reaches the upper limit of 2,000 people, meeting the requirements!"
"Condition 2: All basic buildings are completed and meet the requirements!"
"Condition 3: The title of lord is at least second-class viscount, which meets the requirements!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi. All the upgrade conditions for the Shanhai Town established by Wuyi have met the requirements. Do you want to upgrade?"
"upgrade!"
On the stele, golden light shot up into the sky, exploded in the sky, turned into a ball of golden halo, and spread towards the surroundings. The halo extended to the new edge of the territory and disappeared again.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for becoming the first lord in China to be upgraded to a second-tier township. The reward is 1100 points of merit!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for becoming the first lord in China to be upgraded to a second-tier township. The reward is 1100 points of merit!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for becoming the first lord in China to be upgraded to a second-tier township. The reward is 1100 points of merit!"
It has only been five days since Dichen's Handan Town was upgraded to a first-class township, and Shanhai Town was once again promoted to a second-class township. The dominance of China is becoming more and more difficult to shake.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for upgrading his territory to a second-level town. The town-level lord's mansion is automatically upgraded. Three basic buildings of the second-level township are randomly selected, and the player can choose one of them."
"System prompt: Randomly select three buildings to complete, namely vegetable field, textile factory and pharmacy, please choose!"
"Choose a textile factory!"
"System prompt: The building is being automatically generated, please check it yourself!"
A flash of white light flashed, and the golden stele slowly sank into the ground again. Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check the properties of Shanhai Town.

[Alchemy Workshop]: A smelting workshop for processing all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. Construction conditions: Alchemist, alchemy workshop architectural blueprint, 1500 units of wood, 1800 units of stone. Construction time: three days.
Among the seven basic buildings in the second-level township, the vegetable plot and medicine garden do not need architectural drawings, the textile factory and the bank have already been built, and the rest of the post station, pharmacy and alchemy workshop have been obtained when the water village was wiped out two days ago. Corresponding architectural drawings. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to purchase architectural drawings.
Among the seven buildings, the most troublesome one is the alchemy workshop. Alchemist is a rare profession in China, usually part-time by Taoist priests, it is difficult to find a full-time alchemist. In the previous life, there was a territory that was stuck in a second-level town for three months because of the lack of alchemists. I just don't know, relying on Shanhai Town's strong territorial characteristics, whether there is a chance to get it.
Of course, the system will not do things absolutely. Generally speaking, if the other conditions for the promotion of the territory are all met, only one special talent is missing. Then at most one month, it will definitely be brushed out.
The unlucky guy in the previous life used the lowest Bronze-level village building order, and the refugees were refreshed according to the base value of 50. It took two months to reach the full population of 5,000 people, and another month to wait. Wait until an alchemist.
Even with Shanhai Town's powerful refugee refresh rate, it would normally take 40 days to gather a full population of 5,000 people, which is a relatively long time.
Just after the upgrade of Shanhai Town was completed, two allies, Baihua from Lingxi Village and Mulanyue from Mulan Village, sent congratulations to Shanhai Town for its improvement.
Since forming an alliance, Ouyang Shuo has been in contact with Bai Hua and Mulan Yue, exchanging some experience in managing the territory and the progress of each other's territory construction.
He knew that Lingxi Village was not far from being upgraded to a township since he got the township upgrade strategy taught by him, and it would be promoted within two days at the earliest. However, because Mulan Village has a relatively weak foundation and does not have as deep a network of resources as Lingxi Village, the progress will lag behind, and it will take at least half a month.
To be honest, this upgrade, apart from the increase in the population limit and the expansion of the territorial area, did not have much impact on Shanhai Town. The administrative structure at the township level has basically matured, and various industries have been spread out in an orderly manner. The next step is to wait patiently.
On the contrary, a deep-seated crisis is hitting Shanhai Town step by step. The further back the territory, the greater the demand for funds. In the early days, with the 100 gold coins rewarded by the village construction task, Shanhai Village could flourish. Nowadays, hundreds of thousands of gold coins will be consumed in a short time.
On the contrary, the major forces have passed the difficult period of gold coin shortage. With the major professional gold mining groups gaining a firm foothold in the wilderness, they can continuously obtain construction funds through credit points. Now they are silent only because they are trapped by the exponential hurdles of upgrading townships. Once you cross this hurdle, you're on your way. Ouyang Shuo estimated that, stimulated by the upgrade of Shanhai Town today, Dichen might forcibly upgrade Handan Town to a second-tier township tomorrow.
Therefore, if Shanhai Town wants to continue to maintain its leading edge, it must open up new sources of funds. However, this is easier said than done. Except for the short and quick method of suppressing bandits, the incubation of any industry does not require enough time. However, rogues are limited after all, and cannot be a long-term solution.
Facing many challenges, Ouyang Shuo had to remain calm enough. Therefore, after the upgrade of the territory this time, he did not convene the heads of various departments and hold a territory meeting as usual, but returned to the office alone to think about countermeasures.
