The Praetorian Guard is an ace army, and the position of the commander of the legion is naturally held by the ace generals who are the best in the army, and Ma Chao and Lu Bu, the two peerless generals, are very convincing to the officers and men in the army.

Among the four generals Cao Chun, Ma Teng, Xiahou Ying and Zhang He, Cao Chun is slightly more suitable.

Ouyang Shuo is not in a hurry to make a decision, anyway, the reorganization of the army will take a month and a half at the earliest, maybe there will be any unexpected surprises during this period.

…………

Wooden bones are bundled, the royal palace.

Ouyang Shuo had no intention of transforming the Somali royal palace into another palace, and according to the plan, the palace complex would be demolished and a provincial governor's yamen would be built on the original site.

There is a prison in the southwest corner of the palace, which was used by the former king to hold special prisoners.

Ouyang Shuo appeared in the wooden bones, and carried out a non-stop reception and pacification work as usual, but in the afternoon, he was no longer patient, and threw it all to the newly appointed provincial governor Pei Ju.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo came to this special prison with his personal guards.

In a dark, damp cell, the former Somali king is being held. Ouyang Shuo didn't want to see this person again, but the exile claimed to use a top-secret information to make a deal with him.

Ouyang Shuo thought it was a trick, but the Somali king said the words "silver hand".

This made Ouyang Shuo interested, so he went to prison. When Friendship City was attacked, Ouyang Shuo vaguely felt that the matter was not just as simple as the Somali royal family.

Now it seems that this is the case.

"Open the door!"

The dark, damp cell has only a small skylight at the height, making it difficult to see sunlight all day. The floor was messily covered with a layer of straw, and a tattered mattress was placed on the straw.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Standing at the door of the cell, looking at the old man curled up in a dark corner with his hair scattered, Ouyang Shuo couldn't believe that this was the majestic King of Somalia before.

I think that in the process of arrest, the Somali king suffered a little.

Entering the cell, a pungent smell came to his face, making Ouyang Shuo frown.

The prison is temporarily guarded by the soldiers of the Somali Corps, and seeing this, the temporary cameo "cell leader" said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this place is dirty, do you want to go to the interrogation room for interrogation?" ”

The prison conditions should not have been so bad, but the soldiers of the army hated the king, so they deliberately made it difficult and arranged a worst cell.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "No need, this king will leave after saying a few words." As he spoke, he looked at the Somali king with a blank face and said, "Say, what deal are you going to make with this king." ”

The Somali king said in a slumber that "everything I did was planned by a mysterious person, and just a few days ago, that person met with me. ”

"How do you know he's from the Silver Hand?"

"It was he who told me personally, and said that as long as I can repel the first wave of attacks, they will have a way to stop Daxia from attacking Somalia again."

The Somali king wanted to say "conquest", but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them stiffly.

Ouyang Shuo glanced at the other party lightly and said, "Confess everything you know, and this king will spare you from dying." ”

"So, me, can I leave Somalia?"

Ouyang Shuo smiled, "What do you say?" Even if this king lets you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of the wooden bones. ”

Putting this person under permanent house arrest is already Ouyang Shuo's greatest forgiveness. There is no guarantee that there will be any accidents during the house arrest that will lead to the death of the Somali king.

Ouyang Shuo's belly is black and cold, and it is no longer what it used to be.

“……”

The Somali king's face was gloomy, and he knew that the people of the royal city hated him to the core.

"Don't report any more illusions, if the things you confess can't satisfy the king, then wait to go to the gallows, and the king can conform to the people's will." Ouyang Shuo said lightly.

The Somali king trembled and said, "Write, I write, I write." ”

Ouyang Shuo saw this, and he was no longer interested in talking to this person, so he turned around and left the prison, and the next review would be in charge of the Black Snake Guard, so there was no need for Ouyang Shuo to worry about it.

************

The next morning, Pei Ju rushed to report on the inventory of the treasury.

Pei Ju's face could not hide his joy, obviously he had gained a lot, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time I checked the treasury of the wooden bones and the inner treasury of the palace, and a total of 2.55 million gold coins, 56 boxes of jewelry, more than 5,000 catties of various spices, and two treasures were presented to the king. ”

There are hundreds of materials in the treasury and the inner treasury, and Pei Ju just picked up the key points and talked about them. Somalia's weapons and equipment are backward, even the so-called high-quality products stored in the treasury can't enter the eyes of Daxia, Pei Ju simply didn't say it.

Ouyang Shuo was stunned, he really didn't expect the Somali royal family to be so rich, which was in stark contrast to the barrenness of Somalia. After thinking about it, it became clear again.

I think that most of this gold and silver treasure was looted by cooperating with pirates. When the Atlantic Fleet wiped out the lair of the [Sirius Pirates] before, it also looted a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

With these two ,550,000 gold coins, plus one million from Gaia's reward, and the expected income from the future auction of the Wood Bone Dushu Satellite Town Guild Guard's qualifications, the direct gold coin income alone is around seven million.

If you count the income from the extermination of pirates in the early stage, it will reach 8 million gold coins.

According to the preliminary estimate of the Privy Council, the immediate war expenses and post-war pensions of the war, including the subsequent reorganization of the army and the replacement of related weapons and equipment, the total military expenditure was only one million gold coins.

The Cabinet's expenditure on the reconstruction of the Somali provinces, including the start of construction of major projects such as infrastructure and ports, is also around 1.5 million gold coins.

In addition, the restoration of Friendship City and the compensation to the merchants are about 500,000 gold coins.

In this way, after the war, the imperial court not only did not need to allocate additional funds to the Somali province, but also had a net income of five million gold coins, which made a lot of money, which made Ouyang Shuo quite satisfied.

Sure enough, war is the fastest way to gather wealth.

Considering that the end of the year is approaching, Ouyang Shuo needs to hold a sum of money in advance for the second global auction. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo put all the remaining five million gold coins into his personal pocket.

As for the gold, silver, jewelry and spices, Ouyang Shuo asked Pei Ju to pick some fine products and send them to the palace treasury, and sell the rest to the three imperial merchants, and the arbitraged funds were transferred to the imperial court finance.

This is not a small amount, at least it can be sold for 1.5 million gold coins.

Since Gaia's first year, Ouyang Shuo has successively stocked dozens of gold, silver and jewelry, piling them up, and of course Song Jia and Bing'er alone can't use up these jewels.

However, Ouyang Shuo, as the lord of a country, sometimes inevitably has to reward the meritorious ministers under his command, and Song Jia also wants to reward female officials or other female dependents, so he has to put a batch of gold, silver and jewelry in the inventory.

To put it bluntly, this is used to win people's hearts, and only when the inner treasury is full can the royal family face be maintained.

…………

Ouyang Shuo was most interested in the two treasures that Pei Ju said, took them and checked them one by one.

One picture, one symbol.

The picture is a parchment map, which looks a little shabby, as if it has been soaked in the sea for a long time, and there are even remnants of seaweed. Ouyang Shuo was in a mood when he saw the name of the picture at first sight.

"Lemurian Civilization Ruins Exploration Map": With this map, players can trigger the corresponding story quests in the sea near the Lemurian civilization ruins.

After coming into contact with the Atlantean civilization, Ouyang Shuo deliberately read the prehistoric super-civilization materials. Among them, Ouyang Shuo was most interested in the Lemurian civilization, which was as famous as the Atlantean civilization.

I didn't expect that by chance, there would really be a day when I got in touch with this mysterious civilization.

Looking at this old map, Ouyang Shuo's hands were faintly trembling and excited.

There is no doubt that none of the prehistoric supercivilizations that Gaia bothered to introduce into the game would be decorations. The Atlantean civilization, for example, brought new and strange technology to the game beyond the era of the technology tree.

The Great Xia Dynasty was the biggest beneficiary of this technology.

Whether it is an underwater breathing apparatus or a mimic aircraft, they have played an important role in the foreign wars of Great Xia in the past, and they can often win by surprise, becoming a trump card of Great Xia.

At present, Atlantis City has become the focus of the Mediterranean.

Legend has it that there were four most famous civilizations in prehistory, namely the Gendaya civilization, the Mu civilization, the Atlantean civilization, and the Lemurian civilization.

The Gendaya civilization existed in the first solar age and is a superpowered civilization, and legend has it that the males in the Gendaya have a third eye, and have superpowers such as prediction, killing, etc.

According to legend, the continent of Gendaya is located in the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and South America.

The Mu civilization is also known as the Mu continent, derived from the Mu Empire, which is said to be the first great empire on the earth, the king is called "Ram", La means the sun, and the Mu means the mother, so the Mu Empire is called "the empire of the mother of the sun".

Legend has it that the continent is located in the Pacific Ocean, southerly, and is an area equal to the size of North and South America combined.

And then there's the Lemurian civilization.

Legend has it that the Lemurian civilization is the third civilization to appear on Earth after the destruction of the Mitram continent, and is the descendant of the survivors of the Mitram continent.

Lemuria is small and weak, unable to resist the invasion of wild beasts and foreign tribes on the surface, so it mostly lives underground, and has extremely advanced technology.

The Lemurians of that era were centered on sensibility and honed sensibility as their main practice, and those who had accumulated the highest level of cultivation could distinguish between 3,000 colors and 2,500 scents.

According to legend, the mainland of Lemuria is located in the Indian Ocean, close to Australia, and constantly extends to the Pacific Ocean, but the exact location is unknown, and it is not known where Gaia was placed.

Ouyang Shuo speculated that it should be near Australia.

It just so happened that Ouyang Shuo planned to embark on his second ocean voyage in October, with the destination being Australia, in order to open up a new ocean route and solve the problem of the shortage of natural resources such as iron ore and coal in the Great Xia Dynasty.

In this case, there is a chance to come into contact with the mysterious Lemurian civilization.
