The surging tide of beasts seemed to bring the wilderness back to the scene of the first year of Gaia.

At that time, the wilderness was rampant with wild beasts, bandits and rogues were everywhere, and the homeless people were running around, almost like hell on earth. It was the emergence of countless lords who led the people to overcome obstacles, build their homes, and restore peace to the wilderness.

Five years have passed, and the painful memories have faded.

The newborn children have even forgotten about the war and are immersed in peace and prosperity.

Gaia sounded the alarm.

Raging beast tides raged in the wilderness, countless villages were trampled into ruins, cities fell, people were displaced, and wails were everywhere, as if the end had returned.

Neither the cold nor the heat could stop the herd from attacking.

In Liaojin Province, groups of monsters braved the wind and cold, killing the sheep in the circle and the herdsmen's gathering place. In the Moroccan province, monsters are fierce and fierce despite the heat.

In Yizhou County, there are monsters killed from the sea......

In Shu Province, there are monsters crossing the mountains......

It seems that every terrain, every climate, the monster can easily adapt, and it makes people desperate.

Overnight, the wilderness changed color.

"It's just that this isn't the first year of Gaia after all!"

After five years of overcoming obstacles, the wilderness has become fertile soil, the soil nest has become a city, and the territory has a well-trained army and countless powerful combat players.

They will be at the forefront of the fight.

…………

Summer Palace, Military Aircraft Division.

After listening to the report, Ouyang Shuo said: "Pass the order, before the beginning of spring next year, put aside all military plans, make every effort to deal with the attack of the beast tide, and be sure to establish a fixed camp near each nest." ”

"Yes!" Du Ruhui nodded in response.

With the arrival of the beast tide, the dynasty is bound to go through some turmoil and face a severe test.

The week that followed was full of ups and downs.

In addition to the first wave of beasts, monster nests will also spring up from time to time, or a dozen or a dozen of them, or in groups, constantly attacking the wilderness defenses.

The army struck in all directions, following the trail of the herd, strangling along the way.

Reports of county casualties converged like snowflakes on the imperial court, keeping the cabinet busy.

In just one week, the Great Xia army lost more than 30,000 casualties, and the number of casualties among the people exceeded 200,000, causing direct property losses of no less than 10 million gold coins, and indirect losses were immeasurable.

Such huge losses are no less than a large-scale war.

What made Ouyang Shuo breathe a sigh of relief was that a week had passed, and the legions had been in place one by one, setting up camps near each monster's lair to prevent the situation from further expanding.

In the next time, the army will clear the remnants of monsters scattered in the wilderness, and at the same time send heavy troops to garrison the camps, ready to intercept the beasts at any time.

While providing disaster relief, the Cabinet actively cooperated with the War Readiness Administration to provide logistical support for more than 80 camps and ensure the supply of grain and grass.

In the process, the role of the combat player is not very dazzling.

The reason for this is that with the resurrection limit and the real-time update of achievement points, players have become more desperate. Every time you are reborn, your Achievement Points drop dramatically.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo is not easy to say.

According to his intuition, the battle player's avoidance of war is not a way after all, and if he does not experience the tempering of blood and fire in the game world, he will have to pay the price of blood on the future Hope Planet.

It is up to the player to decide which is more important.

It was even said that Ouyang Shuo faintly captured Gaia's true intentions.

Not everyone is fit to be a fighter.

Players chose the combat class only out of their knowledge of the game world, and never imagined that one day, this battle would be closely related to reality.

When the veil of illusion is lifted and the bloody battlefield is faced, some people naturally retreat.

Similarly, in this process, Gaia will be able to screen out the real warriors, and the players who can fight to the end will be the main force of the future Pioneer Hope Planet.

"Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest!"

The beast tide is coming, changing not only the territory war mode, but also the adventurer player.

…………

January 10 of the sixth year of Gaia, summer palace.

In the Wenhua Palace, Ouyang Shuo was holding a cabinet meeting.

As the New Year approaches, the Cabinet meeting will not only deliberate and approve the disaster relief and reconstruction plans reported by the Governor's Yamen and the two major metropolitan protectors, but also have several major issues.

First, finalize the evaluation plan for officials.

The annual official evaluation is the top priority of the imperial court.

In view of the different dynastic backgrounds of officials and the different governance methods, Ouyang Shuo asked the officials to formulate a data-based evaluation index, including political, economic, cultural and other indicators, to evaluate them and survive the fittest.

The tenure system for officials was formally established, with a small examination every year, a major examination every three years, and a term of office of three years.

There are hundreds of thousands of officials in Great Xia, and the official administration office is naturally too busy, and the main target is the Beijing officials, as well as the governor-general and the county-guard two-level chief officials, and the rest of the officials are assessed by the governor's yamen on their behalf, and they can be reported to the official administration for the record.

Unlike previous years, the Imperial Observatory will participate in the entire evaluation.

Second, review the sacrificial plan.

Ouyang Shuo was promoted to the Viscount of Heaven, and the sacrifice in the coming year was neither a gift for the princes nor a prince, but a gift for the highest level of the Son of Heaven, which was naturally extraordinary.

The corresponding tiara dress, etiquette and process must be reversed.

The Construction Department is already rebuilding the temple, and the statues of the gods enshrined will be improved to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors on the basis of the Yan and Huang Emperors, so as to show the orthodoxy of China.

As for whether to invite other emperors to watch the ceremony, the cabinet is still debating.

Third, review the Code.

Drafts of the Civil Code, the Commercial Code and the Penal Code have been prepared under the auspices of the House of the Interior and will be revised for the last time after consideration by the Cabinet.

It will be officially promulgated and implemented from next year.

Fourth, the "Yanhuang Thought" was reviewed.

In order to unify the ideological system of the dynasty, under the auspices of Jiang Shang, Confucius and others, the compilation of "Yanhuang Thought" has been in full swing, and the first draft version has been formed.

During this period, the hundreds of schools of thought argued with each other, and if it weren't for Jiang Shang's mediation, I am afraid that the draft would not have been produced by now. Even so, the content is quite controversial.

Ouyang Shuo's previous idea was a little simpler.

Wanting to unify thinking and understanding is a more difficult thing than competing for hegemony in the world, and it can be accomplished in less than half a year.

Fortunately, in the process of arguing, the ideas of the hundred schools of thought collided with each other again, and also sparked a lot of dazzling sparks, attracting more sons of the hundred schools to participate in it.

There is no doubt that this is another wonder in the history of Chinese thought.

Fifth, the ceremony.

The changes during this period of time made Ouyang Shuo unconsciously connect the game world with the Hope Planet more closely.

Breaking through the barrier between the two worlds is Ouyang Shuo's ambition.

The breakthrough point is placed on the etiquette that has the most heritage in China and is lost too quickly. It is very necessary to formulate a set of etiquette that is not only in line with the tradition of Chinese civilization, but also suitable for the planet of hope.
