Chapter 460: The Age of Discovery

In addition to adventure players, Ouyang Shuo will also treat lord players equally.

Even if it was a coastal territory, if he wanted to buy a warship from Shanhai City in the future, Ouyang Shuo would not refuse. At the very beginning, he wanted to improve the strength of the entire Chinese naval army to prepare for the future national war.

As for whether this would increase the strength of the sailors in the coastal territory in disguise, and then pose a threat to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo was not afraid.

It's not that Ouyang Shuo is hypocritical, nor how great he is. But those who have a lofty vision can always give up some visible benefits to obtain invisible benefits.

With the expansion of the territory, Ouyang Shuo became more and more confident, and his eyes had gradually moved away from the territory of one-third of an acre and began to pay attention to the pattern of the entire Chinese region.

If you stand tall, you will naturally see far.

Strengthening oneself is always more realistic and reliable than suppressing one's opponents. It's also time to put some pressure on the Yashan Fleet and the North Bay Fleet.

Ouyang Shuo is confident that Shanhai City can sit firmly in the position of maritime hegemon in China.

According to Cai Mao's secret letter to Ouyang Shuo, the performance of the fireworks demon in the first formation of the Yashan Fleet was very dazzling, and it could be described as a rapid progress.

A general of the Navy, is on the rise.

Ouyang Shuo believed in Cai Mao's judgment, before the Yashan Fleet set off, Ouyang Shuo had already promoted the Fireworks Demon to the deputy chief of the first formation of the Yashan Fleet through the Military Affairs Bureau, and his status was only below Cai Mao.

When the Yashan fleet returns from Jiaozhou Port, if the fireworks demon performs well in this battle, Ouyang Shuo will authorize the fireworks demon to lead a naval division formation alone and grant him the rank of chief soldier.

Island exploration, in addition to stimulating the shipbuilding industry, also promoted the trade of Yashan City.

The harvest of the player's adventure, some of them are reluctant to return to the royal city to trade, so they directly trade in Yashan City. As a result, a number of chambers of commerce specializing in the acquisition of expedition items were also born.

Among them, the largest acquirer is [a wisp].

With the resources of Wuzhi Mountain and the island, the problem of [wisps] of rare materials has finally been solved. The guild, under the leadership of the iceberg goddess Love Thread, is heading for the fast lane.

At least 10% of the spending of adventure players in Yashan City goes into the wallet of [Trace]. Whether it's medicine, equipment, special food, backpacks, etc., as long as adventure players need, there is no [wisp] that is not produced, and they will naturally earn a lot of money.

In addition, because [Silk] is the first batch of guilds to enter Yashan City, the shops and locations it buys are all excellent choices, and the business is not hot.

Not to mention anything else, with the prosperity of Yashan City, the prices of the major shops in [Trace] alone have doubled. Of course, the love thread buckle will not be stupid enough to sell the shop.

All of the above is enough to prove that Ouyang Shuo fulfilled his original promise to [Silk].

Of course, the relationship between Yashan City and [Silk] is a win-win cooperation.

The rise of [wisps] is undoubtedly the biggest irony for Xingzhe Zhichen and others. Some people have already predicted that within a year, [Silk] will return to the sequence of the ten major guilds.

In contrast, the [Star Alliance] of Xingzhe Dust has a hard time.

With the covert support of Shanhai City, the [Shadow Alliance] of the Shadow Fox and the [Yimenglou] of the Dream Cloud Swallow took advantage of the chaos to rise, and gradually competed with the [Sword Qi Vertical] and the [Star Alliance].

At this time, Kyoto is no longer a monopoly, but a four-strong competition.

The growth of [Star Alliance] has been greatly suppressed. If it weren't for the critical moment, Emperor Chen would have reached out to Xingzhe Dust again, I am afraid that the [Star Alliance] would no longer exist.

In other words, at this time, Kyoto has become a battlefield for Emperor Chen and Ouyang Shuo. The two of them each supported two guilds, fought in the ring in Kyoto, and stirred up the storm.

The once-glorious [Star Alliance] has completely become a chess piece.

The rise of player trade has gradually made Yashan City a trading city.

The development of Yashan City is enough to prove Ouyang Shuo's original strategic vision. The potential for the development of the island city has made the other coastal lords jealous.

Ouyang Shuo heard that Xiongba had already made up his mind on Yizhou Island. There are many people who have the same idea as Xiongba, and there are dragon search points among them.

As another island with the same name as Qiongzhou Island, after seeing the gold-absorbing ability of Yashan City, it suddenly became a fragrant bait, and everyone wanted to take a bite.

Even Ouyang Shuo has thoughts about this.

It's just that Shanhai City is now too busy to take care of itself, and has no time to start a war against Yizhou Island.

I just don't know if Yizhou Island will eventually compete for hegemony or fall into the pocket of which lord. However, no matter who occupies Yizhou Island, Ouyang Shuo will take it sooner or later.

It's so domineering!

Ouyang Shuo raised his head, looked at Yingyu, and then said: "In addition, the Commerce Department will also start to form a maritime freight fleet, completely break through the maritime trade barriers between the three counties, and activate the territorial economy through the exchange of goods between the counties. ”

Ouyang Shuo also has a purpose for forming a maritime freight fleet, which is to lay a solid foundation for future ocean trade, cultivate relevant talents, and accumulate experience.

The next step is to take Jiaozhou Port as an opportunity to open up the maritime trade between Shanhai City and Lingnan Province. One more step, Ouyang Shuo's goal may turn to Quanzhou Port in Quanzhou, the royal city.

In this way, step by step, the maritime trade network of Shanhai City was weaved.

Needless to say, maritime trade is at the heart of territorial adventures. At this point, when Shanhai City was still the county seat, Ouyang Shuo had already begun to lay out.

Ouyang Shuo's arrangement is also related to the upcoming third system update. It's the end of August, and there are only four months left until Gaia, three years away.

As is customary, another system update will take place every three years in Gaia.

If history does not deviate, in Ouyang Shuo's memory, the third system update will have a very profound impact on the ecology of the game.

Ouyang Shuo naturally wanted to take advantage of rebirth and take precautions.

With Yingyu nodding in response, the temporary meeting officially ended.

For the four major agencies, although Ouyang Shuo is only chatting a few words, if he really wants to achieve the goal, he doesn't know how much energy the major agencies will expend.

On other general matters, Ouyang Shuo believes that the four directors have been able to make decisions on their own. Even if they can't grasp it well, there is still the famous minister Xiao He in charge.

With this arrangement, even if Ouyang Shuo was not in Shanhai City, the territory would still be able to move forward quickly along the path he had planned, leaving other competitors far behind.

Ouyang Shuo was finally able to start his journey with confidence.

**********

When he was eating in the evening, Ouyang Shuo didn't see Qing'er.

Although the Hou Mansion has been expanded several times, the tradition of dining together has been inherited. Although Ouyang Shuo became more and more ruthless, he didn't want to really become a loner.

"Qing'er, that girl, why didn't you come to dinner?"

"I know." Yingyu on the opposite side put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Isn't the eldest brother going to go on the expedition tomorrow?" Qing'er thought about rushing to work overnight and sewing out the inner armor and boots. ”

"This girl." Ouyang Shuo shook his head, his heart warmed, these two sisters, they didn't hurt them in vain, they are all so sensible, sensible and distressing. "Shisu, prepare a food box and send it to Qing'er."

"No!"

"I'm going too!"

Bing'er, who was sitting on Ouyang Shuo's left, became restless again.

Ouyang Shuo knocked her little head, "Don't go, don't disturb your sister Qing'er's work." ”

"Hmph, my brother is a villain, Bing'er just went to see my sister, and she won't make trouble." As she spoke, the little girl turned her head with an expression of "I'm angry, come and coax me".

Ouyang Shuo saw it, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Hey, I'm still stubborn with my brother. The last time you painted a little turtle on my husband's face, I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Ouyang Shuo turned over old accounts.

When Bing'er heard this, she immediately blushed her face and didn't dare to lose her temper anymore. This matter has become a stain on the little girl. The smart Bing'er shouldn't have been so careless and was caught by her brother by her braids.

After the meal, Ouyang Shuo pulled Song Jia to speak.

Since the fall of Tianshuang County, Song Jia has been staying in the Duhu Mansion and has not returned to the Dongli Sword Sect. It wasn't until I learned that the people of the Song family had arrived safely in Cangcheng County that I felt a little relieved.

Even so, the girl frowned all day.

The fall of Tianshuang County was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Song family. As a member of the Song family, Song Jia couldn't do anything, and she inevitably blamed herself in her heart.

In the past few days, Ouyang Shuo has been busy with government affairs, but he has no time to comfort her. Seeing that he is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come back, so he naturally needs to be relieved.

"Jiajia, you don't have to worry. The fall of Tianshuang County is not necessarily a bad thing for the Song family. ”

"Huh?" Song Jia was very surprised, and said with a wry smile: "Wood, don't comfort me." ”

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "You think I'm lying?" ”

"Then you tell me, why is it not a bad thing."

Song Jia's eyes were full of hope, she was now like a drowning person, eager to grasp a straw. She knows that Wuyi has never been untargeted, and since she said so, there must be a way.

"Uncle seized power this time, although he won, he didn't win it easily, there were people in the family such as your second uncle who were hindered, and there were people in the Ruan family who provoked and intervened. These unstable factors, with the fall of Tianshuang County, will disappear. This is the so-called not breaking and not standing, and breaking and then standing. ”

With the fall of Tianshuang County, Song Tianli completely lost the trust of the old lady. After this blow, Mrs. Song is estimated to have completely stopped fighting for the throne and retired with peace of mind.

As for the Ruan family and others, there is still an account to settle with them, where can they interfere in the affairs of the Song family.

In this way, Song Tianxiong is in charge of the Song family, and there is no hidden danger. The only stain is that Song Wen, as the lord, has to bear the responsibility for the fall of Tianshuang County.

This pot, Song Wen has to carry it.

Fortunately, behind Song Tianxiong's father and son, there is Ouyang Shuo's support.

To tell the truth, Ouyang Shuo was also responsible for the fall of Tianshuang County, and he was mainly responsible. When the time is right, he will naturally compensate Song Wen. (To be continued.) )
