Chapter 762: Coal-for-Equipment Program
Leaving Sanjiang Town, Ouyang Shuo did not stop, and took the guards and the three thousand Shenwu guards all the way day and night, and finally returned to Shanhai City on November 22. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as he returned, there was a whole lot of things waiting for him to deal with. Not long after the calm of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate, it was lively again, with people coming and going, and they were all the heads of various ministries.
Ouyang Shuo arrived in Shanhai City at seven o'clock in the morning, washed up a little, removed the dust all the way, ate a little breakfast, and moved to the study to start dealing with government affairs.
It is rare to be such a diligent ruler.
In the reception room, the officials waiting in line for the meeting were already full.
The first thing Ouyang Shuo saw was Zhang Yi, the secretary of Honglu Temple, and Xia Houdun, the director of the War Preparedness Administration, who had just taken office. The thing under discussion is the cooperation with Xichu.
A few days ago, the envoy sent by Honglu Temple had successfully returned from Western Chu Pengcheng, bringing the goodwill of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and showing strong interest in the cooperation plan proposed by Shanhai City.
"Are you saying that Xichu is not going to collect gold coins for selling coal, but wants us to exchange weapons and equipment for an equivalent exchange and barter?" Ouyang Shuo asked Zhang Yi.
"Yes."
Ouyang Shuo smiled, "Xiang Yu has a good calculation. ”
Western Chu is located to the east of the Central Plains, and the north and south are sandwiched by the two player lords of Emperor Chen and Wolf Warrior; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the west was also not very friendly to Western Chu due to historical reasons.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there are enemies on all sides.
Therefore, even if Xi Chu obtains gold coins from trade, he is afraid that he will not be able to buy things, and bartering is the best choice.
"Then, do you want to reject Xichu?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Nope." Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said with a smile: "Why refuse? Promise them. ”
Ouyang Shuo ordered Honglu Temple to contact Western Chu, one is to solve the coal gap in the territory, and the other is not to secretly support Western Chu, so that Western Chu can wrestle with Emperor Chen, Wolf Warrior and others in the Central Plains? !
Exporting weapons and equipment is a win-win situation.
Ouyang Shuo instructed Xiahoudun, "The War Readiness Administration should not be too stuck in the pricing of weapons and equipment, and it is enough to leave 30% of the profits." If necessary, a batch of weapons and equipment can be sent to Xichu in advance as a deposit for coal. ”
Xiang Yu is a little greedy and cheap, if he doesn't give him a little sweetness first, Ouyang Shuo is worried that Xichu will be passive and slack off in coal mining, which will affect coal production.
"Understood."
Xiahoudun took over as the director of the War Preparedness Administration, and only then did he know the depth of Shanhai City. In comparison, the weapons and equipment of the Three Kingdoms period could not be put on the table at all, and they were simply broken copper and armor.
"Your Majesty, do you need to continue to advance the alliance with Western Chu?" Zhang Yi asked.
During this visit, Xiang Yu's attitude was still reserved, and he only agreed to the plan of exchanging coal for equipment, but he had an ambiguous attitude towards the alliance between the two major forces, and did not make a clear statement.
Thinking about it, being defeated by the army of Shanhai City on the battle map was still a shame for Xiang Yu, and he couldn't turn around at once, and he didn't want to completely abandon his previous suspicions with Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo smiled, "Just let it be, you don't have to make friends deliberately." ”
Western Chu is completely controlled by the Xiang clan, and there is not much to do in Honglu Temple. Instead of making some small actions to disgust Xiang Yu, it is better to do nothing.
Ouyang Shuo believes that as long as he tastes the sweetness of exchanging coal for equipment, he will not worry about Xiang Yu not taking the bait. For Xi Chu, there is no more cost-effective deal than exchanging a bunch of useless "black soil" for sophisticated weapons and equipment.
"Understood." Zhang Yi also understands it.
Ouyang Shuo suddenly remembered something and said to Xiahoudun: "By the way, Yuan Rang, after the merger of Lingxi City, its unique siege equipment industry, the War Readiness Administration must step up the deployment and establish production bases in major provinces, especially in the border areas, to ensure the adequate supply of front-line siege equipment." ”
Unlike other counties, Lingxi City, as the former hegemon of Yunnan Province, has a very deep heritage. As soon as it was incorporated into Shanhai City, Kunming County became the largest county in the territory in one fell swoop.
What's even more rare is that Lingxi City has some characteristic industries, especially in the field of military industry, and is one of the best military industry predators in the [Shanhai League].
This merger is a good supplement to the military industry of the War Readiness Administration.
Xiahoudun replied: "Back to the king, some time ago, Lingxi City took the initiative to send someone over to discuss the merger of the military industry. ”
"Really?!" Ouyang Shuo smiled, Bai Hua's work was really atmospheric.
Speaking of white birch, Ouyang Shuo remembered something, the other three of the four blue, red, purple and white flowers had already arrived in Shanhai City, waiting for Ouyang Shuo to arrange a position for them.
Some time ago, when Ouyang Shuo was inspecting the three counties of Lingnan, Bai Hua specially sent a letter to Ouyang Shuo to explain the matter, after the merger of Lingxi City, the three sisters were not happy to stay by Bai Hua's side all the time, and wanted to show their strengths on the big stage of Shanhai City.
After the annexation of the territory, the operation of Kunming County has its own system, and it is also bound by the "Territorial Code", and the three sisters can no longer do whatever they want in Lingxi City as before.
That being the case, it's better to just let it go.
Ouyang Shuo was convinced, and he was naturally extremely happy. The three sisters are not mediocre people, and they can all find a suitable stage in Shanhai City again and shine.
…………
Sending Zhang Yi and Xiahoudun away, Ouyang Shuo asked Bai Nanpu to invite the three sisters to talk.
Looking at the back of the secretary Lang leaving, Ouyang Shuo suddenly became a little distracted. Counting the time, Bernanpu had been by his side for two and a half years, and had been serving as a clerk since the beginning of Gaia's first year.
Until now, he has been diligent and diligent.
"Find a time, it's time for him to go down and practice." Ouyang Shuo thought so.
Just as Ouyang Shuo was stunned, a bewitching female voice sounded outside the door, "I said Great Lord, you are really a busy man." ”
Exactly: before the person arrives, the sound comes first.
While speaking, Violet, Red Eagle and the three sisters in Tsing Yi were already coming.
"Three, please be seated!"
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, he didn't take Violet's words, this little goblin is terrible, if she is entangled, she will have to shed her skin if she doesn't die.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo himself, the three of them suddenly lost their temper and sat down obediently.
"Your situation Bai Hua has mentioned it to me, if you have any ideas, just mention it, today we will talk freely." Ouyang Shuo personally poured tea for the three of them.
It is indeed the same, Lingxi City already has a share of three people, and Bai Hua is not the only one who will be compensated for this merger, and the three sisters will have corresponding titles and fiefs in the future.
"Say yes to any request?" Violet glanced at Ouyang Shuo coquettishly, full of power.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, "As long as it's reasonable, anything you ask for." ”
"Hypocrisy!" Violet muttered, and somehow, she was very much looking forward to meeting Ouyang Shuo. But I really saw it, and there was a trace of nameless anger in my heart.
Maybe it's because he saw the man in front of him, he was too calm and calm.
"Second sister!" Tsing Yi gently pulled the corner of Violet's clothes, and reminded in a low voice that the identity of the other party was not the equal ally before, but the lord.
Familiar to familiar, you can't be too presumptuous.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the third sister Red Eagle took the lead in speaking: "I still want to serve in the army." ”
"Okay." Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "How about going to the Fan Lihua Legion to serve as the division commander of the Third Division?" ”
In the first battle of Baishi City, Fan Lihua's army suffered heavy losses, and the division commander of the third division died in battle.
Red Eagle was originally the division commander of the Praetorian Guard Division of Lingxi City, and with the merger of Lingxi City, the Praetorian Guard Division was temporarily reorganized into an independent division of the Praetorian Guard, and it was assigned to the command of Huo Quzhi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
In order to avoid suspicion, Red Eagle has taken the initiative to step down from the post of division commander, and this time as the division commander of the third division of the Fan Lihua Regiment, there is no problem at all in terms of ability.
"This is good!" Red Eagle's eyes lit up, not for anything else, but for Fan Lihua. "I have long heard that this female general can serve under General Fan Lihua, and the last general is very willing."
Red Eagle is really a military style, speaks straightforwardly, and directly considers himself a general.
Ouyang Shuo also smiled when he saw it.
"What about the two of you?" Ouyang Shuo asked Violet and Tsing Yi.
Violet calmed down a little and said, "You know that what I am best at is diplomacy. If possible, it is best to take up a post at Honglu Temple. ”
"That couldn't be better." Ouyang Shuo nodded, and said with a smile: "In this way, we will set up the External Propaganda Department under the Honglu Temple, and you will be the director, mainly responsible for territorial propaganda and diplomacy with the player forces, how about it?" ”
"I can understand the player's power diplomacy, what is the territorial propaganda?" Violet was a little puzzled.
The Propaganda Department of Modern Society is naturally a heavyweight department, but now it is an ancient background, how to publicize it? Storytelling, or Allegro.
Ouyang Shuo smiled, "Shanhai City founded Shanhai Daily earlier, but unfortunately it has not been working well. I would like to put Shanhai Daily under the management of the Department of Foreign Propaganda to strengthen the influence of the newspaper in the territory. How, do you have faith? ”
Violet's eyes lit up, "No problem. ”
"Then it's settled." Ouyang Shuo nodded, and finally looked at Tsing Yi, "What about you?" ”
Tsing Yi is not only the brain of Lingxi City, but also one of the three female Zhuge in the wilderness, in her previous life, she was an existence as famous as the peerless Fenghua, how could Ouyang Shuo despise this little girl.
"I haven't figured it out yet." Tsing Yi was a little distressed.
When he was in Lingxi City, Tsing Yi had always existed as a team think tank, and he had no specific position at all. When I arrived in Shanhai City, the situation was a little awkward.
Compared with Lingxi City, Ouyang Shuo has countless capable people around him, and there is no shortage of thinkers. In addition to the chief officials of the various ministries, there is also Changshi Jiaxu in the Metropolitan Protectorate, and he recently came to a Chen Palace.
In comparison, Tsing Yi has no advantages.
Ouyang Shuo frowned a little when he saw it, and when he got the letter from Bai Hua, he began to figure out the arrangements for the three sisters, the placement of Violet and Red Eagle was not a temporary idea, but a long time ago.
Otherwise, the post of division commander of the Third Division of the Fan Lihua Army would not have been vacant to this day.
Only for Tsing Yi, Ouyang Shuo was a little uncertain.
