On 5 June, the whirlwind crackdown on bandits in Shanhai County finally came to an end. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The 10-day anti-bandit operation initiated by the mixed brigade yielded a lot of results. A total of 2,500 gold coins were seized, 3,000 people were captured, and a large amount of grain, grass, materials and weapons and equipment were seized.

As for the special items, in addition to the hoplite talisman, you will also receive a Territory Trait Scroll.

[Territory Trait Scroll] (3): After use, crop yield is increased by 10%.

There are a total of six scrolls in the territory trait series, of which Shanhai County has already obtained the second, third, and fourth, and the first, fifth, and sixth have not been obtained.

Among them, the first one is to increase the attraction rate of homeless people, the fifth is to increase the level upgrade speed of army soldiers, and the last one is to improve the success rate of territorial talents to break through bottlenecks, all of which are very important.

The seized funds have basically been refilled with the funds spent on the last military expansion. Of course, the greater expenditure is the continuous increase in military salaries caused by the expansion of the army.

At present, in Shanhai County, the military salary of the pioneer battalion is borne by Youyi Town, the military salary of the Beihai Fleet is borne by Beihai Town, and the military salary of the Wolf Mountain Garrison Battalion is not paid. Therefore, the base camp only needs to pay military salaries for the mixed brigade stationed in the northern camp of the city, as well as the city defense battalion and the Shenji battalion stationed in the city.

Even so, Shanhai County's military expenditure for a month reached 2,000 gold coins.

3,000 prisoners, 250 of whom were water bandits, were sent to the town of Beihai and transferred to the reserve of the North Sea Fleet. As a result, the reserves of the 3rd battalion of the North Sea Fleet were full. Once Beihai Town was promoted to Beihai County, these reserves would be officially transferred to form the 3rd Battalion of the Beihai Fleet.

The remaining captives, except for a small number who were selected by the Military Affairs Department and recruited into the reserve, the rest were put into service in the second city wall project. Once the project is completed, these people will be assigned to work in brick kilns and pottery factories.

After the suppression of bandits, the selection of the Lord's Mansion Guards officially began. Before the selection, Ouyang Shuo had already released that the salaries of the members of the Pro-Guard Army would be twice that of other troops.

The double temptation of honor and money, no hero can resist.

Ouyang Shuo specially told Wang Feng that it was best to choose some high-level elite soldiers who were unwilling to be transferred to junior generals. According to Ouyang Shuo's understanding, if the ninth-order elite soldier does not choose to change jobs, then there is a certain probability that he will go further and advance to a more elite hundred battle elite soldiers.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo was reading a book when Tian Wenjing, the newly appointed director of the Interior, walked in.

"Congratulations, sir!" Tian Wenjing couldn't hide his joy.

"Oh, what's the joy of it?" It is rare that this cold-faced director is happy, and Ouyang Shuo is very interested.

"There is news from the Xuanniao tribe that there is a small tribe that is really difficult to live and is willing to move the clan down the mountain to settle in our territory and establish a settlement." Tian Wenjing said with a smile.

Since the elimination of the Wind Tribe, Tian Wenjing was appointed by Ouyang Shuo as the lord's envoy, with full responsibility for the affairs of the mountain barbarians.

Some time ago, the Department of Internal Affairs was established and the director of the material reserve was replaced. This work was not handed over to the newly appointed director of the material reserves, Shen Chai, as is customary, but continued to be in charge of Tian Wenjing.

Ouyang Shuo considered that Tian Wenjing was finally familiar with various tribes, and he changed people halfway, and he was busy in vain; Second, the responsibilities of the Home Affairs Department include the management of the floating population, which is the responsibility of the Home Affairs Bureau, which can be regarded as a counterpart.

After the May Day holiday, Ouyang Shuo decisively adjusted the mountain barbarian policy. On the one hand, the relatives of the mountain barbarian warriors were moved to settle in Shanhai Town; On the other hand, the mountain barbarians are encouraged to go down the mountain, or settle down, or work in Shanhai Town.

Now, a month later, the policy has finally paid off.

"Which tribe?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"One of the third group of eight tribes who agreed to work with us. This group of tribes, because the mountain barbarian warriors and food subsidies are all one-time, unlike the previous Xuanniao tribe and the second batch of three tribes, can also get paid through the Wolf Mountain mine. Therefore, once we run out of food, we will return to the precarious state we received. Tian Wenjing explained.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Xuanniao tribe is the first mountain barbarian tribe to cooperate with Shanhai County, and it also has the greatest profits, and the clansmen not only occupy the majority of the miners in the Wolf Mountain Mine, but also gradually increase their influence in the surrounding tribes, replacing the Swift Wind tribe that has been wiped out, and becoming the de facto leader of this area.

The second group of people to cooperate with Shanhai County were three small tribes, and it was precisely this time that the Wind Tribe rejected the friendship of Shanhai County, laying the groundwork for the future extermination of the clan. The three small tribes, the clansmen were also arranged to mine ore in Wolf Mountain, so the living conditions have been improved.

The third group of people who cooperated with Shanhai County had to succumb to the strength of Shanhai County after the Wind Tribe was wiped out. This batch consists of two medium-sized tribes and six small tribes.

This group of tribes, because the Wolf Mountain mine is full, so they only receive a one-time subsidy, and they can only rely on going into the mountains to collect medicine and exchange some food with Shanhai County, and their lives are very unstable. In addition, the most elite warriors in the clan were all picked up by Shanhai County and recruited into the army, so the tribe hunting was also more difficult than before.

Therefore, it is understandable that this third group of tribes could not resist the temptation to go down the mountain in the first place. After all, no matter what nationality it is, it has the idea of "not suffering from a small number but suffering from inequality".

If it was before, everyone was the same, living a bitter life, and there would be nothing to complain about or envy. However, because of the existence of the Wolf Mountain Mine, these tribes were invisibly divided into two parts, and the gap between the rich and the poor began to appear between the tribes.

In addition, these tribes have tasted the sweetness, and the subsidized food from Shanhai County has made the tribesmen live a period of food and clothing, and now they are going to be beaten back to their original shape, and no one is happy.

Coupled with Tian Wenjing's continuous efforts on the side, finally some tribes couldn't bear it and were willing to abandon the so-called barbarian tradition, agree to go out of the mountains and settle in Shanhai County.

Thinking clearly about the causes and consequences, Ouyang Shuo became more and more confident in his barbaric policy. In this, there is not only the bottom of the kettle, followed by carrots and sticks, which is really the extreme of the interracial policy.

"How many people are there in this tribe?" Ouyang Shuo then asked Tian Wenjing.

"There are more than 1,800 people."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, such a small number of people are considered to be few in a small tribe. "Let's settle this tribe in the town of Swim Water, which is relatively close to their homeland, so it won't be too different to adapt to it all at once. The mountain barbarian tribes who will go down the mountain in the future are also mainly arranged in Shui Town. I will send an official letter to the town of Lushui, asking them to cooperate with the Department of the Interior to do a good job in the site selection and construction of the settlement. ”

"Understood!"

"Yangon, Shanman's affairs, you handled it very well, I am very satisfied. However, we must not be satisfied with the status quo, and we must continue to increase our persuasion, especially by taking this opportunity to persuade more mountain barbarian tribes to come down the mountain and settle in Shanhai County. Ouyang Shuo finally said.

"Don't worry, you will live up to your trust!" Tian Wenjing solemnly promised.

After Tian Wenjing said goodbye and left, Ouyang Shuo began to write an official letter to Zhao Dexian, the chief official of Lushui Town.

Ouyang Shuo wrote in the official letter that the Shanman settlement was built directly according to the standards of a first-class township, and the settlement was positioned as a purely agricultural settlement. It is necessary to plan a large enough area of farmland for them to be cultivated in time so that the second rice crop can be sown in time for the end of July.

In addition, the town of Shui Shui is required to provide sufficient farming tools for the settlements, and the existing cattle can be temporarily leased to the settlements to clear farmland. Experienced farmers are also dispatched to guide the mountain barbarians.

These mountain barbarians have no experience in rice planting, and the agricultural department of Xishui Town must increase support and must not slack off. This settlement must be built into a demonstration site, so as to reduce the difficulty of lobbying by the Home Affairs Department.

In order to reduce the burden on the town, the Finance Department of the base camp will allocate a one-time financial subsidy of 1,000 gold coins to the town.

It happened that the water conservancy facilities were being upgraded and the city wall was being built in the town, so these mountain barbarians could be recruited into the construction site and paid for their labor according to the standards of the base camp.

Finally, Ouyang Shuo mentioned in the official letter that Lushui Town should do a good job in the overall planning of the Shanban settlement, and prepare in advance for the subsequent Shanban tribes to settle down the mountain.

Ouyang Shuo in the official letter, no matter how big or small, all aspects have been considered, and there are specific explanations. This shows how much he attaches importance to this matter.

After writing it, Ouyang Shuo called the clerk Bai Nanpu and asked him to send this official letter to Xishui Town immediately. Shanhai County has a fixed official who is responsible for sending and receiving official letters between territories. There were four of them in total, and they were directly led by the clerk Bai Nanpu.

After that, Ouyang Shuo got up and came to the office of the Minister of Finance next to him, and mentioned the matter of allocating financial subsidies to Yingyu, and this fund was naturally paid by Ouyang Shuo.

After deducting this subsidy fund, plus the 500 gold coins consumed by the territory update, Ouyang Shuo still had 2,000 gold coins left in his storage bag.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Bing'er appeared in Ouyang Shuo's office on time. Asking my brother to get off work to eat has become a fixed routine for the little girl. During this time, Bing'er has fully adapted to life in Shanhai County.

In the lord's mansion, whether it is officials at all levels or servants, they all love her, the lord's own sister. In addition, Bing'er herself is beautiful and cute, and she is well-behaved and sensible, which is even more rare.

Especially the second baby, as soon as the private school is out of school, he follows behind Bing'er, a heel.

Bing'er is wearing a Tang princess dress today, a pink skirt embroidered with peach blossoms, dignified, and revealing a cute and playful, not to mention how cute it is. This skirt is naturally from Qing'er's hand. (To be continued.) )
