Ouyang Shuo casually put the "North Bay Treasure Map" into the storage bag, if you want to collect this kind of treasure map, you don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, maybe the game will not be complete. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After counting the supplies, Ouyang Shuo sat back in his place, turned his head to look at Pei Donglai, and asked, "General Pei, what do you think about the disposal of Yue'er Island?" ”

Ouyang Shuo asked, not counting Pei Donglai's army. As the commander-in-chief of the North Sea Fleet, he not only needs to win a decisive victory on the battlefield, but also must have a corresponding strategic vision in the post-war disposition.

Pei Donglai pondered for a moment and said, "The other facilities in Yue'er Island are relatively simple, but the docks built can be preserved as an intermediate supply station for future naval battles. ”

Pei Donglai knew very well that the formation of the North Sea Fleet by the prince was not only to exterminate pirates, but also to have more important strategic arrangements. In any case, if the fleet wants to enter the deep sea and dominate the sea, logistics supply is an unavoidable problem. The fleet sails day and night, and if there is no stable temporary stop on the way, it will be a great test for the storage and transportation of supplies and the physical fitness of the sailors.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, then shook his head again.

"What do you mean?" Pei Donglai was a little apprehensive.

"It's a sure thing to set up a supply depot." Ouyang Shuo first affirmed Pei Donglai's opinion, and then changed his words: "However, this is far from enough. Although Wol'er Island occupies a small area, all conditions are very superior, and there are sufficient fresh water reserves. Therefore, it is completely possible to transform Wol'erdo into a small sailor base. ”

To set up a supply depot, it is necessary to store a large amount of supplies in Yue'er Island in advance. Correspondingly, in order to guard this batch of supplies, it is necessary to send a permanent force.

Therefore, according to Ouyang Shuo's plan, it was simply done in one step to carry out a major transformation of Yue'er Island.

"Ben Hou put forward a few requirements, how to plan specifically, General Pei, you contact Xiuwen, and the Beihai County Construction Department will preside over the transformation of Yue'er Island." Ouyang Shuo first set the tone, and then said: "First, the wharf in Yue'er Island will be upgraded to a port. In addition to providing docking for warships, it must also be equipped with all necessary facilities such as repair and maintenance of warships. ”

"Second, all the buildings on the island were demolished and rebuilt, and replanned. The most important thing is to build a military fortress to serve as a stronghold for the personnel stationed on the island and a warehouse for the storage of materials. A military fortress can both shrink the defensive force and not occupy a large amount of land on the island. Carpentry workshops, blacksmith shops, weapon workshops and other supporting facilities were all built inside the fortress, forming a relatively closed fortress. ”

"Third, reclaim wasteland. All the wasteland outside the military fortress should be reclaimed to grow vegetables and crops to achieve self-sufficiency in materials on the island. Ben Hou estimated that at least 50,000 acres of farmland could be reclaimed from Yue'er Island. With such a scale, it can not only be self-sufficient, but even supplied to the outside world, without having to frequently mobilize materials from Beihai County to Yueerdao for storage. ”

"Fourth, renovate the reservoir. In order to grow crops on a large scale, there must be enough water for irrigation. Therefore, the reservoir should be expanded, at least five to ten times larger than the existing one, and the pond should be turned into a small lake or a small reservoir on the island. ”

Ouyang Shuo told the basic situation of Yue'er Island that he had observed in the afternoon, combined with his own planning. In the future, Yue'er Island will form four major systems: military fortresses, ports, reservoirs and farmland. Combined, it is a powerful sailor base.

After the completion of the Woljima Naval Division, it will become the "Midway Island" for the North Sea Fleet to enter the deep sea.

Pei Donglai's spirit was shocked, and he was taken by the grand plan of the prince, and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, the prince will definitely cooperate with the Beihai County Ya to complete the transformation of Yue'er Island as soon as possible." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Then please general." On the day of the completion of the Navy Base, Benhou will come to Yue'er Island again to celebrate your achievements. ”

"Whoa!" Pei Donglai said excitedly.

After the discussion, Ouyang Shuo stayed on the island for the night.

Early the next morning, the North Sea Fleet returned. The first battalion of the North Sea Fleet was left by Pei Donglai to garrison Yue'er Island, and as for the pirate prisoners, they were all escorted back to Beihai County.

The strategic location of Yue'er Island is very important, and Ouyang Shuo is not at ease to place this group of pirates on the island.

On the afternoon of October 25, the North Sea Fleet returned to the North Sea Port.

After Ouyang Shuo left Beihai Port, he deliberately made a detour to Beihai County and had a deep conversation with Gu Xiuwen, the commander of Beihai County, to explain the construction of the Yueerdao Naval Division.

That night, Ouyang Shuo returned to the Hou Mansion.

After returning, Ouyang Shuo took out a box of jewelry, handed it to Zisu, and asked her to return it to the inner warehouse. Counting up, this is already the third box of jewelry that Ouyang Shuo has gotten.

Ouyang Shuo is not a stingy person, whether it is Song Jia or Sun Xiaoyue, or the two sisters Yingyu and Qing'er, or even the maids such as Zisu and Siqin, they have all been rewarded with jewelry.

Early the next morning, Ouyang Shuo had breakfast with Bing'er, and he couldn't wait to walk out of the Hou Mansion and go straight to the Jiafang Division Workshop in the Eastern District to find the master blacksmith Wang Zirconium.

"Meet the Prince!" Wang Zi bowed and saluted.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, took out the piece of [Meteorite Refined Iron] from the storage bag, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Do you recognize this thing?" ”

When Wang Zirconium saw the [Meteorite Refined Iron], his eyes did not move, and he stared straight ahead, as if he was enchanted. He couldn't help but get up, walked to the table, stretched out his hand to touch the [Meteorite Essence Iron], as if touching a peerless treasure, and muttered to himself: "This, this, this is the legendary Heavenly Divine Stone?!" ”

Ouyang Shuo also didn't expect that Wang Zirconium, who had always been unruly, would also behave like this, nodded funny, and said, "Yes, it is the Heavenly Divine Stone." ”

To be honest, Ouyang Shuo was still hesitating last night, whether to hand over this piece of [Meteorite Refined Iron] to Wang Zirconium for forging. Such a precious forging material is naturally handed over to a blacksmith of higher rank, the more certain it is.

In the game, god-level blacksmiths are either recruited by the royal family and hired as royal craftsmen, which is difficult for ordinary people to access; Either they come and go without a trace, wander, and have no fixed place to live, and it all depends on luck to meet them.

Besides, although the purple-gold level [Meteorite Essence Iron] is rare, in the eyes of god-level blacksmiths, it is also an ordinary material, and it is not worth their investment. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had already broken off this thought.

Taking a step back, no matter how bad it is, the best thing is to find a grandmaster-level blacksmith to forge it.

If it is difficult to find a god-level blacksmith, a grandmaster-level blacksmith can still be found in the system king city. Forged by them, Ouyang Shuo was sure that he would definitely be able to forge a purple-gold level weapon.

Ouyang Shuo gave up the temptation, and the most important consideration was naturally to hope that Wang Zirconium would be able to make a breakthrough with this, and no matter how bad it was, he would be able to greatly improve his blacksmith experience, laying the foundation for his next promotion to a grandmaster-level blacksmith.

He was not only a general, but also a lord. When considering the problem, we must proceed from the interests of the territory. If the territory can give birth to a grandmaster-level blacksmith, the benefits are unlimited. Moreover, if it is forged by Wang Zirconium, with the territorial characteristics of Shanhai County, there is also a great chance to forge a purple-gold weapon.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Zi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to spit the [Meteorite Refined Iron] into his stomach. For a moment, he thought of the prince's intention, and a lightning bolt crossed his heart, and his heart beat almost a beat slower.

Sure enough, Ouyang Shuo said unhurriedly: "Ben Hou wants to use this piece of [Meteorite Refined Iron] to forge a spear, are you sure?" ”

Although he was mentally prepared, at this time, Wang Zi's mood that had just calmed down became excited again, and he stammered: "Jun, the prince has it, but what are the specific requirements?" ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "This gun will become Ben Hou's main battle weapon." The head of the gun is forged from [meteorite fine iron], and the barrel of the gun is forged from fine iron, how about it? ”

Wang Zirconium glanced at the size of the [Meteorite Refined Iron], nodded and said, "That's enough." ”

"Okay, Ben Hou is waiting for your good news." Ouyang Shuo didn't delay any longer, got up and said goodbye.

"Whoa!"

After Ouyang Shuo left, Wang Zirconium came to [Meteorite Refined Iron] again, carefully observed and figured out, and kept imagining and deducing in his mind how to forge this spear.

Wang Zirconium is very aware of the difficulty and significance of forging this spear, so he will not act rashly, and is determined to forge this pinnacle in the best condition, and must not disappoint the expectations of the prince.

In late October, rice harvesting began in various parts of the territory.

The most important grain-producing area is naturally Lushui County. 400,000 mu of rice, conservatively estimated, can also produce 120 million units of grain.

With such a huge grain production, the agricultural tax alone can be collected to four million units of grain. All the grain collected will be used as military rations, enough to supply an army of 20,000 for three months.

In addition to Yushui County, Youyi County, Tianfeng County, Yishui County, Gushan County, Yongye Town and Guangshui Town, plus the base camp Shanhai County, can more or less harvest a batch of grain.

According to the statistics of the Department of Agriculture, the grain output of the whole territory in the second season of rice harvest is roughly about 200 million units.

From now until the beginning of July when the first rice harvest will be harvested next year, it will be a full eight months.

Based on the pace of expansion and population growth in Shanhai County, coupled with the consumption of military factories and Sanhua Distillery, Ouyang Shuo roughly estimated that for such a long time, Shanhai County would need to purchase at least more than 20 million units of grain from the market to meet the food consumption in the territory.

Food is always a strategic resource.

With the harvesting of rice in various places, the price of grain in the market has fallen. In the same way, after this food crisis, all the lords realized the importance of food.

From the moment the grain harvest was completed, all the lords were like Ouyang Shuo, taking stock of the grain in the territory, calculating the food consumption in the territory in the next eight months, and calculating the food shortage.

Needless to say, most of the territories are still not self-sufficient in food, and they need to purchase some of the food from the market to fill the food gap.

Therefore, although the price of grain has fallen, the era of 10 copper coins per unit of grain is gone forever. (To be continued.) )
