The five-day crazy spring offensive brought countless harvests to Shanhai Town.
The first is population. A total of 1,967 people have been added, including 868 combatants and 1,099 non-combatants, breaking through the 5,000 population limit of Shanhai Town. Ouyang Shuo had to divert some captives to Beihai Town and Yushui Town, two subsidiary towns.
Among the 868 combatants, 18 heinous people were executed, 600 were integrated into the army, and the remaining 250 were sent to the mines to serve for one year.
The navy reorganized three squadrons from the captives of the large water village, and formally formed a navy battalion, with mid-level military general Pei Donglai as battalion commander. Zhou Feng, the captain of the first squadron of the Navy Battalion, You Fang, the captain of the second squadron, Li Hai, the captain of the third squadron, and the remaining two squadron leaders will not be appointed for the time being.
Li Hai is a junior general, the one with the most outstanding abilities in the large water village, and the residents of the water village gave him a good opinion, so Ouyang Shuo promoted him directly to the squadron leader without sticking to one pattern.
The cavalry reorganized into three squadrons and formally established the Shanhai Town Cavalry Battalion, with mid-level military general Lin Yi as the battalion commander. Li Mingliang, leader of the first squadron of the cavalry battalion, Sun Tengjiao, leader of the second squadron, Liao Kai, leader of the third squadron, Guo Liang, leader of the fourth squadron, and Su Wang, leader of the fifth squadron.
Su Wang is also a junior military commander, an elite figure in the large-scale rogue camp, he is upright and untouched by mud. After Ouyang Shuo understood the situation, he decisively promoted him to be the squadron leader.
As for the infantry, Ouyang Shuo is not planning to expand the number for the time being. According to his plan, he still hopes to absorb high-quality soldiers from the mountain tribe. In order to facilitate the command, he gave the infantry a battalion in advance, with Shi Wansui as the battalion commander, and there were only the original three squadrons for the time being.
Another big gain, of course, is funding. The cash seized, together with the proceeds from selling the architectural drawings, totaled 2,550 gold coins. After deducting the army and general transfer fees, there were 1,710 gold coins left.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have a specific plan for how to use this fund. The most urgent task now is to upgrade the territory to a third-level township as soon as possible. Seeing that the population has reached the upper limit, but the alchemy workshop in the basic buildings of the second-level township has been unable to start construction.
Sure enough, as Ouyang Shuo expected, the most troublesome thing was the damn alchemist. With Shanhai Town's strong territorial characteristics, no alchemist has been spawned in such a long time. I don't know what kind of shit luck Di Chen had to get an alchemist within half a month.
In the end, it was Fan Zhongyan who reminded him and said, "My lord, if I remember correctly, the recruiting hall in the territory can randomly recruit a special talent every month. The quota for March, the lord has not been used yet, right? Why don't you try it?" Give it a try?"
Ouyang Shuo nodded, but he didn't have too much hope, and said with a wry smile, "Where in the world would such a coincidence happen to recruit the alchemist we desperately need."
"How will you know if you don't try?" Fan Zhongyan insisted.
"Okay, then I'll take a trip." Ouyang Shuo finally compromised.
This is the second time for Ouyang Shuo to enter the recruiting hall. The last time the recruiting hall contributed two talents, Fan Zhongyan and Du Chun, to him. I don't know if he can help Shanhai Town out of the siege this time.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for opening the recruiting hall. There is only one chance left to recruit special talents. Do you want to recruit?"
"recruit!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for successfully recruiting a special talent—a senior alchemist. 10 gold coins will be deducted automatically."
A white light flashed, and a European in his thirties came out from the teleportation array, performed a western medieval aristocratic etiquette to Ouyang Shuo, and said enthusiastically, "Magnus, meet the lord!"
Ha, it's really God's blessing. Ouyang Shuo was inexplicably surprised when he really recruited an alchemist. He smiled and said, "Mr. Magnus, welcome to Shanhai Town."
The next thing was simple. With the full efforts of the construction department, the alchemy workshop was built in just one day, and Magnus, a senior alchemist from the West, officially settled in. In this way, the last obstacle to upgrading to a third-tier township was completely removed.
…
On March 24th, 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 5,000 people, meeting the requirements!"
"Condition 2: All basic buildings are completed and meet the requirements!"
"Condition 3: The title of lord is at least first-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 second lord in China to be upgraded to a third-level township, rewarding 1,000 points of merit!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for becoming the second lord in China to be upgraded to a third-level township, rewarding 1,000 points of merit!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for becoming the second lord in China to be upgraded to a third-level township, rewarding 1,000 points of merit!"
It has been a week since Dichen's Handan Town was upgraded to a third-tier township, and Shanhai Town was only upgraded accordingly. In any case, it was finally a counterattack to the previous doubts. The global competition for the number one county in the world has officially kicked off.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for upgrading his territory to a third-level township. The town-level lord's mansion is automatically upgraded. Three basic buildings of the third-level township are randomly selected, and the player can choose one of them."
"System prompt: Randomly select three buildings to complete, which are the inn, pawn shop and jewelry shop, please choose!"
"Choose a pawn shop!"
"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.
