In October, the Wolf Mountain Mine and the Beidui Salt Farm handed over 17,000 gold coins of profits, Ouyang Shuo withheld 5,000 gold coins, and transferred the rest to the Finance Bureau. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Sanhua distillery in the western suburbs has been completed and will be ready for production next month. According to Du Chun's estimate, in November, the distillery can achieve about half of the target production capacity, and hand over three or four thousand gold coins in profits.

The expansion of the mulberry orchard has also been completed, but the seedling and planting of mulberry trees require a relatively long growth cycle. It will take at least next year to make the mulberry garden operational.

With the promotion of the [Falling Moon Society] and the establishment of the Wangcheng Office in Shanhai County, new players and NPC skilled talents are pouring into Shanhai County every day.

The influx of talents was diverted to various affiliated territories by Ouyang Shuo in large quantities to promote the balanced development of the territories.

With the injection of a large number of life professional players and NPC skilled talents recruited with the help of the Cui Chamber of Commerce into the three major military workshops in the Eastern District, the production of weapons and equipment has increased exponentially.

The sequelae caused by this are the shortage of leather, beef tendon and other materials. The leather is a little better, and through the fairs of Friendship County, some can be purchased from nomadic tribes.

Beef tendon is more difficult to do, this kind of material is a controlled item, and the Cui Chamber of Commerce has no way.

In the end, it was his aunt who helped him solve this problem.

In fact, adventure players have to go out into the wilderness every day to slay monsters and earn experience. In the wilderness, there are most monsters such as wild wolves and bison. These monsters do not drop equipment, and the player can only collect some materials.

Therefore, every adventurous player has more or less some leather, beef tendon and other materials in their hands.

After being reminded by his aunt, Ouyang Shuo immediately made a decision to mail her 10,000 gold coins, and asked [Snow Rose] to help purchase all kinds of materials in the hands of players for a long time.

Of course, Lin Jing was willing, in fact, the guild warehouse of [Snow Rose] stored a large number of leather, beef tendon and other materials. In their view, these materials are not only space-saving, but also unmonetizable. If it is sold to the Wangcheng store, it is too cheap, and they are unwilling.

Now that Ouyang Shuo, the big lord, is willing to make unlimited acquisitions, it is naturally the best of both worlds. The purchase price agreed by both parties will be doubled on the basis of the quotation of the Wangcheng store.

Even so, such a price is still the price of cabbage for the huge profits of weapons and equipment.

Ouyang Shuo knew in his heart that the reason why the materials in the hands of adventure players had not yet attracted the attention of lord players was because they had not yet mastered the corresponding technical manuals, and they could not intervene in the military industry for the time being.

Even Ouyang Shuo himself, didn't he notice a little bit under the reminder of his aunt.

But this situation will be slowly broken after all, and the lord will always find another way to get the manual of weapons and equipment manufacturing, and at that time, it is the time for the price of various materials to skyrocket.

Ouyang Shuo's acquisition of such materials is naturally not for speculation. As Shanhai County, which aspires to become the largest arms dealer in China, the future demand for materials is very terrifying, and he has to take precautions.

In this way, when no one was paying attention, all kinds of materials accumulated in the hands of adventure players began to quietly flow into the hands of the merchants sent by the [Snow Rose], and then into the warehouses in Shanhai County.

First Jianye, and then expanded to all the system kings.

Players are very willing and motivated to buy merchants. Some players originally threw these materials in the guild warehouse so that they wouldn't take up storage bags. After receiving the news, they took the stored materials out of the guild and sold them to the merchants who bought them.

As a result, the materials stored in each row disappear at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Such an anomaly naturally attracted the attention of the guild's higher-ups. After understanding the situation, they simply did not do anything, and directly packaged the materials in the warehouse and sold them to the merchants, which was naturally very happy.

When a player places materials in a guild repository, the guild is allowed to dispose of it by default. Of course, after the guild process, the contribution value will be calculated for the members according to the value of the item.

Suddenly, a wave of material acquisition that swept through China was quietly staged.

With the intensification of acquisitions, it can no longer be hidden, whether it is the ten major guilds or the influential lords, they already know that [Dead Snow Rose] has been frantically buying all kinds of materials recently.

The gossip of players is endless, and their ability to find out the news is also amazing.

Gradually, the relationship between [Snow Rose] and Shanhai County was picked up by the player, and the mystery was slowly torn apart. The intimate cooperation between the two has attracted the attention of a large number of interested people.

At this moment, the relationship between Ouyang Shuo and Lin Jing was exposed. The whistleblower is a core member of [Snow Rose], who once followed Lin Jing to Shanhai County.

Such a betrayal undoubtedly made Xie Siyun and Lin Jing extremely angry, and they expelled the member from the meeting on the spot. Not only that, but also sent a law enforcement team to chase and kill her for a long time, making it impossible for her to gain a foothold in Jianye.

There is no doubt that there is someone behind this player's betrayal. Even if the betrayer is reincarnated, he will be able to receive a large amount of compensation that is sufficient to cover the loss.

As for who is behind the scenes, Ouyang Shuo doesn't need to think about it, but he can't control the likes of Emperor Chen.

Lin Jing and the others were angry, not because they were exposed, but because they were distressed betrayers. You must know that the betrayer is a core member of the guild, a veteran who has been fighting with the studio for many years, but he still can't resist the temptation of external interests, and blatantly throws away his friendship for many years.

Obviously, as the game becomes more and more involved in real interests, the interpersonal and organizational relationships in the game will become more and more complex and unpredictable.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo looked at it openly. As Shanhai County cooperates more and more with [Snow Rose], it is only a matter of time before it is exposed, and he has long been mentally prepared.

There is no doubt that after being exposed, Shanhai County will be even more feared. Many people were shocked to realize that the influence of Shanhai County had expanded to the group of adventure players. This is still exposed, are there any other forces hidden under the iceberg in Shanhai County? Everything is unknown.

Shanhai County, which had already been unveiled, became mysterious again. Such a Shanhai County, how not to make people frightened.

Now that he has said it, Ouyang Shuo simply stopped hiding it and continued to send 20,000 gold coins to his aunt Lin Jing, making sure to sweep away the materials in the hands of players in China.

To this end, Ouyang Shuo specially instructed the Construction Department to choose a cave and transform it into an exclusive warehouse suitable for storing such materials. Because there are so many materials, leather and the like take up a lot of storage space. If the player teleports for smuggling, the teleportation fee is even higher than the 10% transaction tax.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo simply traded through the super auction platform and had to grit his teeth and pay a transaction tax of up to 3,000 gold coins. For transactions on the Super Auction platform, Gaia is regulated. Players don't want to lower the price of goods to avoid the transaction tax they should pay.

With the progress of the acquisition, piles and piles of leather, bundles of beef tendons, horns and other materials are transmitted to Shanhai County through the super auction platform every day, and then transported to the cave and stored.

Soon, a small half of the huge cave was filled.

With such a huge amount of materials, according to the calculations of Wu Peng, director of the Bow and Crossbow Division, and Wang Zi, director of the Jiafang Division, at least more than one million bowstrings, more than 400,000 sets of Mingguang armor and various types of leather armor can be made.

The two of them were naturally very excited about Junhou's purchase. They didn't expect that the material problem they were worried about would be solved all at once, and it far exceeded their expectations.

Regarding Ouyang Shuo's behavior, most of the lords still chose to watch from the sidelines. One has just experienced a food crisis, and the funds in their hands have been basically squeezed out. Second, even if these materials are purchased, they will not be used for a while, and they will occupy the territory's working capital in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses.

What's more, in the eyes of the lord player, the monsters in the wild are endless, and if you really want to use these materials in the future, and then buy them from the player, why bother so much effort to compete with Shanhai County for food.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo knew the thoughts of these lord players, he just smiled coldly. When it comes to understanding the game, no one can match him.

In theory, the beasts in the wilderness are truly endless.

The crux of the matter is that the distribution of beasts is relatively even. Even to take care of adventure players, Gaia has more beasts to farm around the city, but the number is still limited.

Most of the beasts are in the barren mountains and forests, which are difficult for adventure players to reach.

As players get through the novice period, they no longer need to farm beasts to gain experience. In other words, the experience gained from killing beasts is very limited. They must go deep into the wilderness to fight the bandits and bandits.

Therefore, the first year in the game is the period when players kill the most beasts, and it is also the best time to acquire all kinds of materials. After that, the supply of various materials will gradually decrease. On the other hand, as the player's level increases, his personal savings are also steadily increasing, and the little money he gets from selling materials is no longer in the eyes of the player, so he naturally has no motivation to kill beasts and collect leather and other materials.

Another point is that the bowstring is more easily damaged than the bow arm and needs to be replaced. In the Tang Dynasty army, a bow was paired with three bowstrings. Therefore, the consumption of beef tendon and the like is very huge.

Ouyang Shuo's sweep came at the right time, sweeping away the materials that players had accumulated for almost a year, and eating the largest and most delicious piece of the cake.

In this operation, Ouyang Shuo paid as much as 33,000 gold coins at one time. In addition to the 100,000 gold coins that could not be used, there were only a pitiful 3,000 gold coins left in his storage bag.

This stroke of genius has also laid a very solid material foundation for Shanhai County to vigorously develop the military industry, and there is no need to worry about materials for a long time in the future. (To be continued.) )
