Chapter 324: A three-pronged approach
After breakfast, Ouyang Shuo convened the core members of the expeditionary army to discuss the matter. The members of the Pen & Fun & Cabinet www.biquge.info include Wang Feng, commander of the Praetorian Guard, Pei Donglai, commander of the North Sea Fleet, Lang Bai Nanpu, secretary, and two daughters, Song Jia and Sun Xiaoyue.
Ouyang Shuo repeated his thoughts and consulted everyone's opinions.
Wang Feng and Pei Donglai, as military generals, generally do not express their opinions on this strategic choice, and besides, this is not their forte.
Song Jia came out to relax, and she would not interfere with Ouyang Shuo's decision. Sun Xiaoyue joined the expeditionary army in the name of the chief designer, mainly responsible for the overall planning of the territory.
The only one who can express his opinion is the secretary Lang Bai Nanpu.
Since he became the clerk, Bai Nanpu has been by Ouyang Shuo's side for more than ten months. This talented scholar from a humble family left Ouyang Shuo with a low-key impression.
The position of secretary Lang, although the rank is only equivalent to that of the director, is hot. Secretary Lang's duties, in addition to sorting out official letters for Ouyang Shuo to read; He is also responsible for uploading and disseminating, and assisting in government affairs.
Sometimes, Ouyang Shuo will also consult the secretary Lang for advice on the handling of a certain official letter.
All of this, every link is crucial, and if it works well, it is a huge power gap. Based on this, the secretary Lang is also very easy to become the focus of officialdom, and even the object of friendship of officials at all levels.
What is surprising is that during his tenure as a secretary, Pak Nampo was like an invisible man and had no sense of existence. Usually, even Ouyang Shuo, the lord, would not notice his existence.
What's even more amazing is that when Ouyang Shuo needs him, Bai Nanpu can always appear at the right time. The official letter placed on Ouyang Shuo's desk is always so neat and orderly.
Ouyang Shuo has never heard of which minister Bai Nanpu has friends with in private, no matter morning or evening, he can always be seen in the secretary's office, either sorting out official letters, or burying the first case.
Fan Zhongyan once commented on Bai Nanpu in front of Ouyang Shuo, saying that he couldn't see through this young secretary, whose city government was deep and his temperament was stoic, which was terrifying.
That's right, the word "terrible" is Fan Zhongyan's exact words.
Fan Zhongyan is one of the three giants of civil officials in the territory, and is faintly regarded as the head of civil officials, and is evaluated as "terrible" by Fan Zhongyan, which is not a great honor for Bai Nanpu.
Ouyang Shuo just laughed at that time, but he was also secretly observing this secretary silently.
Overall, Ouyang Shuo is very satisfied with Bai Nanpu's secretary. As for the city government of Bai Nanpu, from Ouyang Shuo's point of view, it is not a problem.
On this expedition, Ouyang Shuo deliberately brought Bai Nanpu with him, which also meant to experience him. After all, he has served as a secretary for a long time, and his horizons have been broadened, but he has no experience in handling grassroots government affairs, and his foundation is not solid.
Ouyang Shuo meant that the preliminary administrative work of the future Yazhou territory would be led by Bai Nanpu. Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo also deliberately approached Bai Nanpu and had a secret talk.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, I think he had already understood what he meant.
Council Chamber.
Noticing the look in Junhou's eyes, Bai Nanpu understood and knew that Junhou was waiting for his answer. This answer is not a test for him.
The previous conversation of the Hou Mansion still caused a ripple in Bai Nanpu's heart. The faint meaning in the words of the prince is that with Bai Nanpu's calm character, he can't help but be a little excited.
Being an official and guarding the pastoral side is the ideal pursuit of scholars all over the world.
Not to mention a vital place like Yazhou, its importance cannot be overemphasized.
As for how to open up the situation in Yazhou, Bai Nanpu also thought about it all night last night, until the sky was about to turn white, so he hurriedly made up for sleep, hurriedly washed his face with cold water, and was called to participate in the discussion.
Bai Nanpu stabilized his mind and said softly: "Qiyu Prince, Weichen thinks that it is very inappropriate to take the lead in establishing a territory. As the prince said, the risk is too great for the wise to do. In addition, there are major chambers of commerce accompanying them on this trip, they are the new force in the future construction of Yazhou, and they must not be brought into danger, otherwise it will affect the credibility of the Lianzhou Hou Mansion. "Pernanpu is tantamount to rejecting the first option.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, noncommittal.
Bai Nanpu did not panic at all, and talked eloquently: "Taking the lead in building a military port seems too slow." At this time, Wechen suggested that a three-pronged approach can go hand in hand. ”
"Tell me about it!" Ouyang Shuo remained silent.
"First, the construction of the military port is proceeding as usual, which is the top priority. Second, contact Shanhai City, organize the second group of expeditionary forces, and bring enough craftsmen and food. Third, reconnoiter the islands, find out the details, clear the surrounding environment, and prepare in advance for the next step of building the territory. "Bai Nanpu put forward three strategies.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, finally smiled, and said with a smile: "Not bad!" ”
Pak Nanpu was relieved and slowly retreated to his seat.
Ouyang Shuo looked around and began to give orders: "General Pei! ”
"The last general!"
"The North Sea Fleet was split in two. Half of them immediately returned to Beihai City to escort the second fleet here. The other half is responsible for patrolling Qiongzhou Island, drawing nautical charts of the surrounding waters, and eliminating sporadic pirates along the way. It is best to take a tour around Qiongzhou Island to get first-hand information. ”
"No!" Pei Donglai is familiar with it and full of confidence.
"The Dragonhead is temporarily under your command!" Ouyang Shuo added.
"Xie Junhou!" Pei Donglai was overjoyed, he had been coveting the Dragon Head for a long time.
If you want to choose between a beauty and a warship, Pei Donglai will definitely choose the latter.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a smile and continued: "Wang Feng! ”
"The last general!"
For Wang Feng, Ouyang Shuo is more affectionate, and you can see one or two from the title.
"The Praetorian Brigade was likewise split in two, leaving three battalions to guard the camp. The remaining two battalions were responsible for clearing out the outermost beasts and wild beasts in Yazhou. Remember, take it one step at a time until you reach the place where the village was built. In addition, a crack team will be arranged to go deep into the island to obtain indigenous information. ”
Compared with the beasts and wild beasts, Ouyang Shuo was more vigilant against the natives who had not yet appeared, and Ouyang Shuo was really relieved if he didn't know the scope of their activities.
No matter how powerful a wild beast is, it is still a beast, and it has a fixed hunting range. The natives are different, they have lived here for generations, they are very familiar with every plant and tree on Qiongzhou Island, and in addition to the large population, the tribe has both strong warriors and wise wizards, which is really a fierce opponent of the expeditionary army.
Unlike the mountain barbarians, the natives of Qiongzhou Island will not easily succumb to food. If Ouyang Shuo wanted to buy the hearts of the natives with a few stones of grain, it would be impossible.
Wuzhi Mountain is rich in products, and there is no cold winter, and the natives will not lack food.
The non-commissioned officers of the Praetorian Guard Brigade have basically received a period of special operations training, and intelligence reconnaissance is the basic skill, so naturally it is not a problem. It was precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo did not bring the military intelligence department.
"No!" Wang Feng should be down, and he feels a great responsibility.
Ouyang Shuo finished assigning military affairs, looked at Bai Nanpu again, and said, "You are fully responsible for the construction of the port. In addition, remember to choose a tidal flat and reclaim the salt pans one after another. The salt workers who brought it can't just do nothing. ”
"No!" Bai Nanpu resisted his excitement and nodded fiercely. The arrangement of the prince and the marquis, compared with the three suggestions he put forward, should be a step further, so that Bai Nanpu felt his lack of experience.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and was about to announce the Chamber of Commerce. After such a long delay, the large army outside is still waiting for them to issue today's mission.
Suddenly, Sun Xiaoyue stood up: "Wuyi, I have a suggestion." ”
"Oh?" Ouyang Shuo was full of interest.
"That's right. I suggest that the Praetorian Guard, when clearing out the beasts, should first focus on opening up a coastal area and take the lead in building a farm. ”
"Farm?"
"With the climatic conditions of Qiongzhou Island, it is still possible to grow some vegetables at this time. In addition to this, there should be no shortage of wild boars and bison in Qiongzhou. If you can capture their young, won't you be able to domesticate a batch of livestock?! In this way, the problem of meat and vegetables is basically solved. Even if the territory was established a little later, the expeditionary army was able to sustain itself for a long time. Sun Xiaoyue said what she envisioned.
After finishing speaking, Sun Xiaoyue's heart fluttered, she didn't know why she wanted to help Ouyang Shuo so much, and she didn't know why, she wanted Ouyang Shuo's affirmation so much.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, if he followed Xiao Yue's suggestion, the benefits would be more than that. The large number of skilled talents brought in basically have something to do.
"Okay, that's a good idea." Ouyang Shuo turned his head to look at Bai Nanpu, "Write it down!" ”
"Please rest assured!" Pernanpu may not have enough creative thinking, but he is still very sure in the execution of orders, and he will definitely not discount it in the slightest.
Song Jia sat on the side, glanced at Sun Xiaoyue with an inexplicable expression, and then returned to normal.
Ouyang Shuo this time, he was a complete shopkeeper, and he distributed everything to him, and he did not personally participate.
With his current status, if he had to take care of such things himself, it would actually be his failure, and he, as a lord, would not be qualified.
Ouyang Shuo also wanted to use this time to accompany Bing'er and Song Jia.
As for exploring the South Mountain Cave Heaven, let's wait for the territory to be built. Just him and Song Jia, they don't have the ability to get through the secret realm of the cave. Thinking about it, when the time comes, I can only invite my aunt and them to go to the secret realm together.
Of course, before the territory is built, Ouyang Shuo will not notify his aunt. It's not that he can't trust his aunt, but he can't trust the members of [Snow Rose].
The betrayal of [Dead Snow Rose] last time showed that even in the core of the team, there were still existences that Xie Siyun and Auntie could not fully control.
Ouyang Shuo had to be cautious. (To be continued.) )
