In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo took the time to go to the barracks and transferred to the infantry squadron again.

In the barracks and school grounds, the infantry squadron has been lined up. He walked directly to the secret room of the barracks for job transfer, pressed his right hand on the door, and opened the job transfer.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for opening the barracks transfer secret room without clothes. The Intermediate Barracks can convert a peasant to a Tier 1 militia for 10 credits. You can also convert a level 10 militia to a first-class soldier, with an average transfer cost of 1 gold coins. Please choose how to change jobs! ”

"Transfer to a first-order soldier!"

"System prompt: The transfer method is confirmed, please select the number of job transfers!"

"100 people!"

"System prompt: Please select the direction of transfer, you can choose infantry, sailor or cavalry. Among them, the cost of infantry transfer is 50 silver coins, the transfer cost of sailors is 100 silver coins, and the cost of cavalry transfer is 150 silver coins. ”

"Choose the infantry!"

"System prompt: The number of job transfers is confirmed, and the player will be deducted 50 gold coins without clothes."

After the transfer of these hundred soldiers was completed, Ouyang Shuo deliberately checked the attributes of the infantry.

[Name]: Iron Egg

[Identity]: The first firefighter of the infantry squadron

[Class]: Infantry

[Level]: First Order

[Combat Power]: 12 points

[Consumption]: 2 units of grain and grass/day

[Skill]: Basic Chop

[Equipment]: Ordinary ring-headed knife, ordinary leather armor, ordinary wooden shield

[Evaluation]: This is the most basic infantry unit, in order to give full play to the combat advantages of infantry, in addition to strict training, it is also necessary to be equipped with better equipment.

In Earth Online, infantry can be subdivided into various types of troops, such as sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, axe throwers, spearmen, longbowmen, short bowmen, etc., as well as light infantry and heavy infantry. When you change classes, you default to being a normal sword and shield soldier.

Compared to cavalry, infantry is obviously weaker, so the transfer cost is only one-third of that of cavalry. The combat power of infantry is 3 points lower than that of cavalry, and the most important thing is the gap in equipment.

After paying the transfer fee, Ouyang Shuo only had 80 gold coins left in his pocket, and once again encountered a financial crisis. It seems that it is time for these soldiers to show up and loot and make some extra money for the territory.

He called Shi Wansui, Lin Yi, and several fire chiefs to the barracks meeting hall, and said straight to the point: "Generals, the year has passed, and it's time to move your muscles. This time, the territory area has increased by a full hundred square kilometers, and there will definitely be a new camp of rogues. I have only one request, and that is to find them and destroy them. I'm not afraid to tell you that now that the territory is short of funds, whether you can solve the urgent need depends on your performance. ”

The generals were enthusiastically boiled by Ouyang Shuo's words, especially Zhang Daniu and Zhao Sihu, the two tiger generals. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, they both broke through to the eighth-order elite soldiers, and they were only one step away from the ninth-order elite soldiers. The competition for the captain of the infantry squadron has entered a white-hot stage. What they are most eager for now is a tough battle, hoping to break through the bottleneck and complete the promotion.

Zhang Daniu and Zhao Sihu came out of the queue almost at the same time, and said loudly: "My lord, you can leave the task of exterminating the Liukou camp to us with confidence, and promise to complete the task." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Okay, morale is high." From now on, spread your net across your territory and conduct a carpet search to find the location of the Rogue Camp first. After finding out the situation, don't act rashly and report to me in time. This time, I will personally accompany you on the expedition. ”

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

Walking out of the barracks and passing by the commercial street again, the major shops have reopened. After all, the game is different from reality, and there is no talk of the Spring Festival holiday. The streets are bustling with people.

As soon as Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord's Mansion on the front foot, Du Xiaolan, the head of the Materials Department, came to his office on the back foot and said respectfully: "My lord, my subordinates have something to report. ”

In the last evaluation, Du Xiaolan was fined by Ouyang Shuo for three months, and this time she was extra careful.

Ouyang Shuo didn't have the energy to pay attention to this little bit of caution from his subordinates, and asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Qiyu. The subordinates took stock of the grain reserves in the granary today, and it was less than 2,000 units. The granary is in an emergency, and please deal with it as soon as possible. Du Xiaolan said carefully.

Ouyang Shuo patted his head, he has been busy these days, but he has forgotten about buying grain. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of units of grain seized from the Liukou camp last time, the food in the territory should have been in short supply a long time ago. "Don't worry, you can arrange someone to follow me to the market to buy grain."

Ouyang Shuo reluctantly left the Lord's Mansion again, came to the intermediate market, clicked on the material trading platform, and directly spent 50 gold coins to purchase 50,000 units of grain at one time. With the increase in the population of the territory, this batch of grain will not be able to be eaten for long. When it comes time to upgrade the second-level townships, they will have to make large purchases.

Starting from the townships, the shortage of food began to slowly appear, and if there was no sufficient financial support, then wait for a famine. After the food was processed, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Ouyang Shuo didn't even have time to take a look at the two Nian beasts that were still in the stable, so he went offline again.

In reality, it was already the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Ouyang Shuo did not go to visit relatives and friends, nor did he wander around. After a day of shopping for the temple fair yesterday, I was tired enough. It's better to stop today, so he stayed at home and watched cartoons with Bing'er and Xue'er all day.

Early the next morning, Zhou Haichen, the newly appointed head of the household registration department, walked into the mayor's office for the first time.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and invited him to sit down, and said softly: "How about it, the work of the household registration department is still smooth, right?" ”

"Thanks to your trust, everything went well." Zhou Haichen said respectfully.

"That's good, come over today, but what outstanding talents have appeared?"

Zhou Haichen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes." Among the displaced people brushed out today, there is a jinshi named Xu Shuda, who once held the position of teacher. The subordinates felt that this person was extraordinary, and they came to report to the adult. ”

"Jinshi?! It's really a scarce talent, and you're doing a great job. In this case, you go and invite Mr. Xiwen, and by the way, bring that Xu Shuda to me together, and say that there is something important to discuss. Ouyang Shuo commanded.

"Yes!" Although Zhou Haichen was a little puzzled, he still couldn't help but ask, and went out directly to call someone.

In less than five minutes, Fan Zhongyan, Zhou Haichen and Xu Shuda walked into the office. It should be Xu Shuda who walked last, and Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check his attributes.

[Name]: Xu Shuda (Gold)

[Identity]: A resident of Shanhai Town

[Occupation]: Civil official (Jinshi)

[Loyalty]: 75 points

[Commander]: 20 [Force]: 18 [Intelligence]: 45 [Politics]: 60

[Specialty]: education (improve the learning progress of territorial residents by 15%), education (improve the quality of territorial residents by 10%)

[Evaluation]: Jinshi was born and is good at studying. Rigorous, knowledgeable and of good character.

After reading Xu Shuda's attributes, Ouyang Shuo was even more satisfied, this is a typical educational talent, and his two specialties "learning and education" are very practical. He is more confident in the next arrangement.

After greeting each other, Ouyang Shuo went straight to the point and said: "With the increase in the population of the territory, the continuous improvement of private schools, ancestral halls, Mazu Temple, Lianzhou College and other facilities, the cultural and educational undertakings of the territory have shown a vigorous development trend. Previously, I had the idea of setting up a special department to preside over the cultural and educational undertakings of the territory. It's just that because I can't find a suitable candidate for the head of the office for a while, it has been shelved. Today, I have to meet Mr. Shuda, and I have what he wants. Therefore, I have decided to set up a Department of Culture and Education under the Administration Department, with Xu Shuda as the Director of the Department of Culture and Education. ”

Xu Shuda didn't expect that he would be able to be reused as soon as he came to Shanhai Town, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your promotion, I will definitely live up to the trust!" ”

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for having no clothes, Xu Shuda has been reused, and his loyalty has increased by 5 points!"

Fan Zhongyan nodded approvingly and said, "Congratulations to the lord, you have another talent." Taking advantage of this opportunity, his subordinates dared to ask for resignation from the post of dean of Lianzhou College, hoping that the lord would agree. ”

"Oh? Why is this so, sir? But if there is anything I can't do properly, please point it out. Ouyang Shuo said suspiciously.

"No, no, no, it's not. Education is related to the future of the territory, and a special person needs to be responsible. At present, the government affairs of the Administration Department have involved most of the energy of the subordinates, and it is really impossible to take care of Lianzhou College. Therefore, his subordinates really wanted to resign from the position of dean, and suggested that Shuda should concurrently serve as the dean of Lianzhou College. Fan Zhongyan hurriedly explained.

Ouyang Shuo was relieved, looked at Xu Shuda, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then give Shuda another burden to you, and concurrently serve as the dean of Lianzhou College." I hope that you can work with Mr. Su Ze, a professor of the college, to improve the school-running system of the college and start to cultivate a mature teaching team. As soon as possible, Lianzhou College will be freed from the current dilemma of temporarily opening crash courses, become more formalized, and truly become the cradle of territorial training of civil officials. ”

Xu Shuda nodded solemnly, feeling a great responsibility, and said: "Thank you for your trust, your subordinates will definitely do their best to live up to the grace of your support." ”

To tell the truth, the establishment of the Department of Culture and Education this time further expands the powers of the Administration Department. At present, the administrative bureau consists of the Department of Examination and Merit, the Department of Household Registration, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Construction, and the Department of Culture and Education, which almost covers the core functions of the six ancient ministries except for the military department. The balance of power between the three agencies has been quietly broken.

In fact, this is also the result of Ouyang Shuo's intentional guidance. In the future, he did not want to refer to the ancient system of three provinces and six ministries to form the political structure of the territory. Since there is a more reasonable administrative structure in modern society as a reference, it seems a bit silly and unwise to copy the ancient administrative structure.
