After the alliance ceremony, it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning.

The parade was ready, and 1,000 soldiers lined up in front of the square, waiting to be reviewed.

Ouyang Shuo invited Bai Hua and others to come to the review stand with him. The review stand was divided into two rows, with the five lords seated in the front row, and the rear row sat the entourage and the entourage of Shanhai Town. On Ouyang Shuo's left hand side, Bai Hua and Mulan Yue sat respectively. On the right-hand side, there are dragon hunting points and siege lions.

"What you are about to see is that the troops that Shanhai Town is going to go out this time have concentrated all the elite troops of Shanhai Town. The family background of Shanhai Town is all displayed in front of you. Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.

Because of the limited number of troops, 1,000 officers and men walked through the review stand in turn in squadrons. As the commander-in-chief of the parade, Shi Wansui rode at the front of the team. Behind him were three infantry squadrons, and the first to start was naturally a hoplite squadron already armed with Tang knives and infantry armor. Then there were two teams of archers and three teams of crossbowmen, all dressed in leather armor. The last to appear were two cavalry squadrons, all riding frog horses, carrying Tang knives and horn bows, and holding horse lances. The fifty cavalrymen at the front were also equipped with Mingguang armor.

Looking at these troops, the parties reacted differently.

What Bai Hua noticed was Shi Wansui, a royal-level historical figure. She had seen Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing, two king-level historical figures, before, and thought that they were one of the historical figures summoned by the summoning charm rewarded by the task of building a village without clothes. Who would have thought that there was still a hidden one in the army.

Her own village-building task has a relatively high degree of completion, and she only rewards silver-level village-building tokens and king-level summons. In this way, the gold-level village building token can already be 100% sure that he got it.

The attention of the dragon search point was completely attracted by the heavy cavalry wearing bright light armor. With a military general like Qin Qiong, his ideal is, of course, to reproduce the elite heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty like Ouyang Shuo. It's a pity that whether it's a war horse or weapons and equipment, he can't achieve it now. Where did you think that Shanhai Town has already been allocated, it is really livestock.

Qin Qiong, who was sitting behind the Dragon Hunting Point, looked a little dazed when he saw the cavalry squadron led by Lin Yi. Through them, Qin Qiong seems to have returned to the years when he fought on the battlefield.

The siege lions' favorite is still the hoplites in the front row. In the vicinity of his territory, there are also barbarians. Therefore, it was immediately recognizable that those soldiers should be mountain barbarians. This kind of armor may be a bit heavy for ordinary soldiers, but for barbarians, it is just right, and it is simply a natural pair.

As for Mulan Yue, Xiao Nizi is purely watching the excitement. Mu Guiying, who was sitting behind her, saw the green worm horse ridden by the cavalry, and her eyes were fixed. She had already recognized that these war horses were the green worm horses raised by the nomadic tribes in the center of the basin. Mu Guiying couldn't imagine how Shanhai Town obtained these war horses.

This military parade was a good demonstration of the strength of Shanhai Town to the allies, showing that Ouyang Shuo, the leader of the alliance, deserved his name. At the same time, the most cutting-edge weapons and equipment of Shanhai Town were displayed one by one. The future arms chief, slowly showing his fangs, waited for his allies to take the bait.

After the parade was over, the dragon and the others stared at Ouyang Shuo, almost eating him. Ouyang Shuo pretended not to know, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" While there's still time, I'll show you around? ”

The siege lion was the straightest, and he was the first to speak: "Brother Wuyi, look, that's definitely what you have to see." But that's not the point, the point is, do you sell the equipment you just showed? ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and shook his head again.

"What do you mean?" The siege lion did not understand.

"Sell, and don't sell. When I formed the alliance before, I promised that I would give you priority in the sale of weapons and equipment. However, there is a precondition for this, that is, it will only be considered for sale if Shanhai Town's own troops are fully equipped. As you can see, these 1,000 soldiers are not fully equipped, and there is no extra equipment to sell to you now. "Ouyang Shuo didn't sell it.

"Although it's not for sale now, Brother Wuyi should have a psychological price. Why don't you explain it to us, so that we can have a bottom in our hearts, and when we go back, we can prepare early. Bai Hua asked.

Others were also eye-catching, apparently very concerned about the issue as well.

I knew that you would ask, Ouyang Shuo gestured with his eyes to Yingyu who was standing behind him. Yingyu understood and said with a smile: "Regarding the price of weapons and equipment, as well as the question of subsequent orders, why don't the lords arrange for their entourage to negotiate with our Finance Bureau." This kind of philistine thing, why bother the lords to go out in person? ”

Who can become a lord of one side is not a human spirit. Naturally, I heard Yingyu's voice-over, today's party, to put it bluntly, is still here to connect feelings. Naturally, it is not good for a few lords to give up their faces and do that bargaining at this time, and it is more appropriate to hand it over to their subordinates.

So the crowd split into two groups. Yingyu took Violet, Mu Guiying, Qin Qiong, and Fu Yu to the office of the Finance Bureau of the Lord's Mansion to discuss the procurement of weapons and equipment. Ouyang Shuo led the rest of the people and began to visit Shanhai Town, accompanied by Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing.

Everyone has already been to the back mountain, and the lord's mansion is also the same, and there is nothing to visit. Ouyang Shuo first took everyone to the cultural and educational area on the east side of the Lord's Mansion, and took everyone to visit the two hidden buildings of Mazu Temple and Zhaoxian Hall, as well as Lianzhou College.

The mystery of the Mazu Temple, the powerful function of the Zhaoxian Pavilion and the scale of Lianzhou College all brought a strong shock to Bai Hua and his party.

It's really a surprise, how many secrets are hidden in this small Shanhai Town.

What everyone is most interested in is the operation mode of Lianzhou College. After all, Mazu Temple and Zhaoxian Hall are both hidden buildings, and they can't be envied. Only Lianzhou College can be used for reference.

Ouyang Shuo did not hide his secrets, and generously taught everyone his experience. A academy belongs to the basic building of a third-level county, and it can't be hidden for too long. Tell everyone in advance to strengthen your allies. Second, other territories do not have such a strong territorial characteristics as Shanhai Town, and they can't recruit so many people or jinshi to teach in the college, no matter how they are, they can't catch up with Lianzhou College.

In the Southeast Military Region, Ouyang Shuo didn't say anything, and everyone consciously avoided it, and didn't say that they wanted to visit. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo then took everyone to the Northwest Business District. Here, the major workshops are in full swing and a prosperous scene.

Finally, Ouyang Shuo took everyone to climb the city tower in the north and enjoy the scenery of Shanhai Town from a high place.

The city wall itself had already brought enough shock to everyone, and when everyone saw the moat surrounding the city wall, they all looked at Ouyang Shuo speechlessly.

How insecure this guy is to build such a powerful fortification so early.

Mulan Yue saw the banner of the lord of Shanhai Town planted in the city tower and said, "Ah, this flag is so beautifully designed." Well, after I go back, people will also design a flag, so majestic. ”

"That's it, that's it." The siege lion chimed in, looking a little impatient.

Looking at the golden dragon hovering on the banner, Bai Hua quipped: "Brother Wuyi, your ambition is not small, this is aiming for the supreme position." ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled and said nothing, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Near noon, Ouyang Shuo set up a banquet to entertain Bai Hua and his party. The banquet was not placed in the lord's mansion, but directly in the Sangu Restaurant.

Sangu Restaurant is built on the most prosperous commercial street, with a total of two floors. The banquet was placed in the private room on the second floor, where few people were willing to dine here except Ouyang Shuo before. With the increase in salary, the lobby on the first floor has people coming here from time to time to eat, or to entertain relatives and friends, or to negotiate business.

Sanniang was already waiting at the door of the restaurant, and when she saw Ouyang Shuo and his party, she hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "My lord, the banquet is ready, and the banquet can be held at any time." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "It's hard work Sanniang, have they arrived?" ”

"The eldest lady has already arrived first, and is accompanying the guests on the second floor." Gu Sanniang replied.

"Okay, let's go up too!" Ouyang Shuo turned his head and said to Bai Hua and the others.

After going upstairs, Yingyu nodded vaguely to Ouyang Shuo, indicating that the negotiation had been completed. Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and invited everyone to sit down in turn.

For this reception, Gu Sanniang did everything she could.

There are not only seafood sent from Beihai Town, but also mutton and pork sent from the pasture, as well as all kinds of vegetables grown in the vegetable garden, as well as various poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese purchased from the farmers' market, plus the game sent by the mountain tribes, it is already very rich.

Of course, tea is indispensable for banquets, whether it is Baihao tea or Sanhua wine, it is a rare boutique. The abundant raw materials, coupled with Gu Sanniang's exquisite cooking skills, can already be compared to a real meal.

Bai Hua and the others were already numb, they never imagined that the materials produced by Shanhai Town themselves were so abundant. In their own territory, it is extremely rare to be able to eat a meal of meat.

"Woo, after eating this meal, people won't be able to eat when they go back." Mulan Yue said coquettishly.

Bai Hua and the others nodded together very tacitly, and they were concerned.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Come, cheers to the first gathering of our Shanhai Alliance!" ”

"Cheers!"

After eating a meal, it was hot and lively.

Unconsciously, the feeling of alienation between everyone gradually dissipated and became intimate. Otherwise, it is not unreasonable that the wine table is the best place to make friends.
