The plot task involves a wide range of tasks and takes a long time, Ouyang Shuo has no idea where to start for a while, he can only take one step at a time, the only thing he can do now is to order the Construction Division to open up a separate courtyard in the Southwest University Hall, as a forum for a hundred schools, to prepare for the future debate.

Ouyang Shuo's most important thing now is to advance to the territory. He opened the territory operation panel, clicked to apply for territory promotion, and there was a system prompt sound in his ears, which was nothing more than some basic condition detection.

"System prompt: Detect the ...... of Shanhai County's application for promotion"

"Condition 1: The population reaches the upper limit of 100,000 people and meets the requirements!"

"Condition 2: All basic buildings are completed and meet the requirements!"

"Condition 3: The lord's title is at least a third-class marquis, which meets the requirements!"

"Condition 4: The four indices of politics, economy, culture and military are not less than 65 points, which meets the requirements!"

"Condition 5: The core subordinate territory must reach at least a first-class county and meet the requirements!"

Compared with the county stage, the basic conditions for the promotion of the county town have added a requirement for three subsidiary territories, which is equivalent to reminding the lords that in the county seat stage, do not leave behind the construction of the subsidiary territories.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player, all the application conditions of Shanhai County established by Wuyi have met the requirements, do you want to apply for promotion immediately?"

"Apply!"

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully applying for no clothes, and start automatically matching the territory promotion task."

"Task 1 [Recruitment]: At least one historical talent is required to volunteer to serve in the territory."

"Task 2 [Merchant Bank Entry]: An NPC Chamber of Commerce is required to agree to settle in the territory and prosper the economy."

"Quest 3 [Cultural Event]: Hold an influential cultural event."

"Mission 4 [Legion Trial]: A division is required to pass the Legion Trial and prove its military strength."

"System prompt: Of the four promotion tasks, at least two of them need to be completed to successfully advance; The more missions you complete, the more rewards you will have after you advance. ”

The four territorial promotion tasks put the territory to the test from the four aspects of politics, economy, culture, and military, so as to prove the huge gap between the county seat and the county seat.

As the system says, when each lord applies for promotion, the matching promotion task is different. Overall, the difficulty of the tasks is all at the same level.

There is no time limit or penalty for failure in the promotion mission. If you fail to complete two of them, you will not be able to advance and you will not be able to reapply.

This is the greatest punishment.

Ouyang Shuo's goal is naturally to complete all four promotion tasks and get the highest promotion reward.

The next day, Ouyang Shuo summoned Fan Zhongyan, Cui Yingyu and Bai Qi to assign the task of advancing to the territory. Fan Zhongyan led the Administration Department, which was responsible for the preparation of cultural events; Yingyu is responsible for contacting Cui's Chamber of Commerce to discuss the establishment of a branch in Shanhai County; Bai Qi is the general leader of the army and is responsible for the trial of the legion.

The most uncertain thing is [Recruitment], Ouyang Shuo can only inform the Wangcheng offices, and they are responsible for finding historical talents and doing their best to obey the destiny of heaven.

After the apportionment was completed, everyone stood up and took their leave.

Before Yingyu left, she glanced at Ouyang Shuo strangely and said, "Big brother, how do I feel that when you go out, your whole temperament has changed?" ”

"Really?"

"Yes, well, it has become more majestic, the first time I saw it, the little sister was really stunned."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, knowing that the dragon and phoenix rewarded by King Qin were indeed playing an effect. The two major characteristics of this jade pendant, [Deterrence] and [Containing Qi], have gradually revealed their hideousness.

Last night, when he was cultivating the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", he obviously felt that under the stimulation of the dragon and phoenix, the increase rate of true qi in his body was further accelerated, and within a few days, the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" would be able to cultivate to the fifth layer. According to the record of "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", when you break through to the sixth layer, you will have an opportunity, which is worth looking forward to.

After Yingyu left, Ouyang Shuo began to deal with the accumulated government affairs.

Secretary Lang Bai Nanpu had already put the official letter on his desk in order according to a certain priority.

Ouyang Shuo picked up an official letter, which was handed over by Lei Fan from Gushan County. In the official letter, Lei Fan mentioned that the matter of contacting the various tribes in the mountains is progressing smoothly, and only after the spring of the next year, a large number of mountain barbarians will descend from the mountain.

In addition, Lei Fan also specifically mentioned in the official letter that the northern mountain barbarians seem to be a little unusual, seeing that it is about to enter winter, some tribes are unusually migrating to the deep mountains, I don't know why.

Lei Fan speculated that something major had happened in the deep mountains, and he had arranged for a detailed work to go to the mountains to check. Because of the importance of the matter, Lei Fan specially reported the matter to the Hou Mansion and asked the prince to adjudicate.

Ouyang Shuo frowned, the Shanman tribe was an important source of infantry in Shanhai County, and there was no room for any surprise. He replied in the official letter, asking the Military Intelligence Department to immediately intervene in the investigation, and the director of the Interior, Tian Wenjing, mediated.

Putting aside his worries about Shanman, Ouyang Shuo continued to deal with government affairs.

The official letter he is holding now is handed over by Meng Zhida, the chief treasurer of Sihai Qianzhuang, who has just taken office, and Meng Zhida suggested in the official letter that Shanhai County should issue banknotes.

In ancient China, paper money was issued during the Southern Song Dynasty, so paper money is not a product that transcends the technology tree. In the game, in order for a province to issue banknotes, two basic conditions must be met.

First, the hardware facilities for printing banknotes. There must be at least a paper workshop and a printing workshop in the territory, and paper can also be purchased externally, and printing must be done by the territory itself. In addition, there should be professional and technical personnel who are proficient in banknote printing to solve a series of problems such as banknote design and anti-counterfeiting.

Second, establish monetary credit. If the issued banknotes are not recognized by the outside world, then they are a piece of waste paper and have no value.

In order to establish monetary credit, the most important thing is to establish a sound reserve system. Taking Shanhai County as an example, if you want to issue banknotes, the first choice is naturally to issue them by Sihai Bank. In the early stage, for every 100 gold coins issued by Sihai Bank, the corresponding 100 gold coins must be stored in the bank's vault.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, it was because the imperial court issued a large number of paper money, and did not prepare enough reserves, so it looted the people's fat and ointment in disguise, which led to the depreciation of paper money and finally lost credit.

For the issuance of banknotes, Ouyang Shuo is not without planning. It's just that in his planning, at least it won't be released until the mid-game, and it seems too early to release now.

If it was someone else's proposal, Ouyang Shuo would naturally veto it directly. Meng Zhida is different, he is a professional financial talent, and he is steady, since he made this suggestion, he must have his considerations.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Someone!" ”

"Hey!" Pak Nampo walked in.

"Put Meng Zhida of the Four Seas Money Village in charge," Ouyang Shuo paused for a moment, and then said: "And Director Cui, please come to the discussion together!" ”

"No!"

Yingyu was next door to Ouyang Shuo, and after a while, she rushed over: "Big brother, are you looking for me?" ”

"Do you know about Sihai Bank's proposal to issue banknotes?"

"Well, I know, Shopkeeper Meng reported to me."

"What do you think?"

Yingyu frowned, and said carefully: "At first, when the shopkeeper Meng reported to me, I thought that the so-called banknotes and silver tickets were the same thing, but after the shopkeeper Meng's explanation, I realized that they were not a concept at all. To be honest, I'm not sure about this new thing, but it seems to be pretty good. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, although Yingyu is making up for modern financial knowledge, but when it comes to currency issues, his knowledge is still a little insufficient, and he is uncertain.

No wonder Meng Zhida sent the official letter to Ouyang Shuo, probably because of Yingyu's instructions.

When the brother and sister were talking, Meng Zhida hurried over, and when he caught a glimpse of the official letter in Ouyang Shuo's hand, he already knew it in his heart.

"Uncle Meng, in principle, I agree to issue banknotes, but in terms of time, is it pushing back?" Ouyang Shuo discussed things, and he always went straight to the point.

"I thought it was the right time to issue banknotes."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Ouyang Shuo didn't expect Meng Zhida to be so determined, which made him very interested.

"There are four reasons for this. First, as the territorial economy began to prosper, the transaction amount gradually increased; Transactions between merchants have to bring large sums of gold coins, which is very inconvenient to carry. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, NPCs don't have players' storage bags, a gold coin is 20 grams of gold, and 1000 gold coins weigh 40 catties, and someone needs to be specially arranged to carry it.

In ancient times, in order to solve this problem, silver tickets came into being.

Second, with the successive promotion of the subordinate territories to county seats, trade between the territories began to flourish. For example, seafood and salt in Beihai County are sold to all parts of Tianfeng County through the Friendship River and the Swim River; The timber of Yongye County was sold to Beihai County, and so on, all of which gave birth to paper money. ”

Meng Zhida's words made Ouyang Shuo silent. The information revealed in the words was enough to arouse his vigilance. The rise of territorial trade, he, the lord, did not pay attention to it, it seems that the recent frequent military operations have indeed distracted him too much time and energy. If it had been before, this would never have happened.

Fortunately, Bai Qi's arrival could liberate Ouyang Shuo from military affairs to the greatest extent, and he realized now that it was not too late.

"Third, Sihai Money Bank has abundant funds and has the objective conditions for issuing banknotes."

In early October, Ouyang Shuo injected 40,000 gold coins into the headquarters of Sihai Qianzhuang at one time, which was also the confidence of Meng Zhida's proposal to issue banknotes.

"Fourth, the issuance of banknotes cannot be achieved overnight, and it requires a long period of preparation, so naturally the sooner it starts, the better." Meng Zhida told the story eloquently and listed four major reasons.

Ouyang Shuo nodded frequently, and was completely persuaded by Meng Zhida, and said, "Uncle Meng's words made me pause." In that case, let's do it! Tell us about your specific plans. (To be continued.) )
