On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the fourth year of Gaia, the city of mountains and seas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are three days left on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the city of Shanhai is already full of lights. The victory in the battle of Yunnan added a touch of joy to this giant city, and the faces of the people were full of pride and honor.

As the Civic Affairs Bureau's immigration program nears its end, the population of Shanhai City is approaching the 2 million mark. Especially with the victory of Shanhai City in the Yunnan battlefield, there are countless players who have applied to live in Shanhai City.

Forward-thinking players have realized that the city is not safe forever. After the Wilderness Lord is strong enough to a certain extent, there is bound to be a conflict between the two, and war is inevitable.

Who has a better chance of winning?

Different people have different opinions in their hearts.

It's just one thing that is clear, and that is that the Wilderness Territory has some unlimited development potential compared to the King's City. Taking Shanhai City as an example, in just three years, from scratch, a million troops have been gathered under his command.

However, Wang Cheng is limited by the rules of the system, but he has been standing still.

When there is a conflict between the Wilderness Territory and the Royal City, or even a life-and-death battle, the player group sandwiched between the two must make a choice, and if one is not good, it may become a victim.

They had to make a decision early.

It's just that the underground world is about to open, and it firmly locks the player's attention.

There is definite news that after the Lantern Festival, the Nine Kings will release a plot mission about the battle for the satellite city at the same time. Prior to this, the royal city had already been an undercurrent.

When the Yunnan War broke out, there were no less than 100 large-scale PK melee battles between guilds, and there were countless small-scale conflicts. The guild circles of the Nine Kings are undergoing a brutal reshuffle.

For small and medium-sized guilds, there are only three options in front of them. Or simply move to the wilderness territory en masse and give up the extravagant hope of the underworld.

Thirty-six strategies, go for the top plan, to avoid this turmoil.

Either choose a camp and be "willingly" annexed by the giants and become a part of the camp; Either it disappears completely, the guilds are dispersed, the members are absorbed, and in the end it is still empty.

There is no other option.

If anyone wants to play a clever trick, connect various small and medium-sized guilds, imitate the model of the lord city-state, and form an alliance of guilds, they will immediately be suppressed by a large guild without mercy.

On this point, there is consensus among the large guilds.

The days of schools of small fish in guild circles are about to be gone forever.

The completeness of this reshuffle, the wide range of impacts, and the number of deaths are unprecedented.

Even the just-released expansion pack [Martial Arts Storm] is not enough to turn the player's focus. The Nine Great Kings City has already opened the sect martial arts hall, but there are very few people who enter the hall to practice martial arts.

The big war is coming, and players are pursuing a quick fix, hoping to improve their personal strength in a short period of time and prepare for the upcoming big war. It's too late to learn the basic martial arts of the sect now, and it won't help at all.

If there is a conflict in martial arts, there may even be a regression in strength, and the gains outweigh the losses.

During this period, the prices of weapons and equipment on the market, healing drugs such as gold sore medicine, and life-saving things such as stand-in dolls are rising. Especially for boutiques, the price has doubled, and there is no market.

In order to survive the big battle, players spend a lot of gold.

Meng Zhida reported that the savings of Sihai Bank in January were lower than the amount of withdrawals for the first time, and the savings of the bank showed an unprecedented negative growth.

For this reason, Sihai Money Bank had to shrink its loans to cope with the "run" turmoil.

At the time of the merger of Lingxi City, Lingxi City's shares in Sihai Qian Zhuang and related debts were all transferred to the name of Shanhai City. For this reason, Ouyang Shuo paid Bai Hua a one-time compensation of 500,000 gold coins.

Gaia is undoubtedly a shrewd trader, and the limited-time exchange event launched earlier did not allow players to deposit the exchanged gold coins in the bank to generate interest, but for players to spend them.

The opening of the underworld and the competition for satellite cities are Gaia's first big move.

The upcoming guild war has also made lord players earn a lot of money in this feast. Especially for a military industrial giant like Shanhai City, just orders from allied guilds such as [Snow Rose], [Qingfeng Pavilion], and [Listening to the Rain Tower] have already exceeded four million gold coins.

Fortunately, in the just-concluded Yunnan War, the weapons and equipment in the hands of the prisoners of war needed to be uniformly replaced with the standard equipment of Shanhai City, and more than 200,000 sets of equipment were freed up at once.

Coupled with the scattered equipment collected on the battlefield, the number is even greater.

With this alone, Shanhai City can make a profit of more than four million gold coins, and make the territorial finances, which were somewhat depleted at the end of the year, immediately improve.

Ouyang Shuo was even more arrogant, and directly allocated a one-time one-time allocation of 1.5 million gold coins for a new round of army reorganization, as well as additional rewards for the soldiers who participated in the two year-end battles of the Lingnan Battle and the Yunnan War.

As soon as the news came out, the whole army boiled.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo did not favor one over the other, and once again allocated 500,000 gold coins to reward the civil officials of the territory. In particular, those who perform well will be rewarded heavily.

Without the dedication of thousands of civil servants over the past year, how could there have been prosperity in the territory.

Two million gold coins can be regarded as the year-end bonus issued by Ouyang Shuo, the "big boss". Such a large amount of money is really beyond the reach of other territories.

…………

In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo's study.

In the quiet study, Ouyang Shuo is summoning the newly appointed Commissioner of Industry, Chan Ping-kwong, the Director of Industry and Development Planning, Cui Yingyu, and the Financial Secretary, Gong Jian.

The Financial Department is a newly established department of the Financial Administration, which is responsible for the territorial budget and financial allocation, and is a very important department in the Financial Administration.

Gong Jian is a financial official of the real federation with deep qualifications. After the joint recommendation of Meng Zhida and financial expert Xie Lao, and after strict review by Black Snake Guard, he was appointed as the financial secretary by Ouyang Shuo.

Compared with the ancients, Gong Jian is obviously more comfortable in charge of the Financial Secretary.

Ouyang Shuo summoned these three to discuss the establishment of the [Shushan Iron and Steel Group].

The planned establishment of the [Shushan Iron and Steel Group] will be directly managed by the Industrial Administration, the Financial Department will provide financial support and financial supervision, and the Industrial and Development Planning Agency will give appropriate preferential treatment in industrial policies.

Just yesterday, Shanhai City had reached a memorandum of understanding with Swordsman City, and the war in the southwest had subsided.

Feng Qingyue agreed to Ouyang Shuo's condition of "ceding the Black Iron City", but on this basis, she also put forward an additional request: Swordsman City and Shanhai City signed a trade agreement to trade with each other.

In the detailed rules, Feng Qingyue made it clear that she hoped that the steel group built by Shanhai City in Black Iron City in the future would be able to sell high-quality steel to Swordsman City.

Ouyang Shuo was surprised when he got the news.

Compared with his brother Feng Qingyang, Feng Qingyue's wrist is much smarter and knows how to win-win.

Ouyang Shuo had no reason to refuse, but he had only made a restriction on the export of steel, and [Shushan Iron and Steel Group] would only export to Swordsman City on the basis of satisfying the territory's own steel needs.

Feng Qingyue was worried that Ouyang Shuo was playing with words, so she forcibly added the minimum export quota.

For this matter, the two sides have been fighting a lot.

It took four rounds of negotiations before the two sides agreed on a memorandum of understanding. The specific terms and conditions are still being further negotiated by the officials of the two sides, but Ouyang Shuo no longer needs to intervene.

On the same day, Feng Qingyue ordered the Second Army to evacuate from Aolong Pass and withdraw from the Black Iron City.

The Praetorian Guards naturally took over the defense around the Black Iron City, and after the Shi Wansui Legion arrived in the Black Iron City and completed the defense handover, the Praetorian Guards would return to Shanhai City to garrison.

Black Iron City is located in the southernmost part of Jiangyang County, and there is only one pass connected to Jiangyang County in the north.

To the west is Qiang County, where the Qiang people live, and there is a huge altitude difference between the two places, making it difficult to fly. I am afraid that only the locals can find a path to walk with in the mountains, and it is impossible to walk in a large army.

To the south, it is connected to Dongchuan County, and the Luo Shixin army will be stationed here, ready to go north for reinforcements.

To the east of the Black Iron City is the northern Sichuan Province, which is also high and far away, and there is also a pass to guard it, and it is necessary to arrange a large army to be stationed. If necessary, the pass should also be reinforced.

All in all, the defensive pressure of Black Iron City is not great, and with the Shi Banzai Army in charge, it is safe for the time being. Even if the Swordsman City and the Shu Han Dynasty attacked, they couldn't attack it for a while.

It is precisely in this way that Ouyang Shuo will rest assured that [Shushan Iron and Steel Group] will be built in the Black Iron City. For this reason, Ouyang Shuo simply ordered that Black Iron City be renamed Steel City.

[Shushan Iron and Steel Group] will be a pillar of the industrialization of the territory, and naturally it cannot be neglected.

"The first phase of the steel group's capital is set at 500,000 gold coins." With a windfall, Ouyang Shuo was even more confident, so he decided the matter before the Spring Festival.

If it is put aside, I am afraid that Gong Jian will be the first to stand up and oppose it.

This time, the Financial Secretary gave the green light throughout the whole process, and Gong Jian even said with a smile: "500,000 gold coins is only the initial budget, and if you want to make additional investment in the later stage, the Financial Secretary will definitely support it, and you can still get 350,000 yuan." ”

The God of Wealth spoke, and it was really rich.

Ouyang Shuo glanced at Chen Bingguang, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old Chen, as for the funds for the construction of the factory, the Financial Secretary has given enough this time, but your Industrial Department can't spend money lavishly." Good steel must be used on the cutting edge, and money must be carefully calculated. ”

Every penny of the territory is not washed by floods, but Ouyang Shuo, the "parent", has to take care of it.

Chen Bingguang's expression was gentle, and he said, "Please rest assured." After coming down, the Industrial Department will set up an audit team to supervise [Shushan Iron and Steel Group], and will never spend a copper plate indiscriminately. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said: "The Industrial Department of the No. 7 Research Institute should also keep an eye on it from time to time, the current steelmaking technology in the territory is not mature, and if you really want to make steels on a large scale, you have to achieve a breakthrough in technology." ”

"Understood!"

After discussion, Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to end the meeting.

If you really want to put up the shelves of [Shushan Iron and Steel Group], after coming down, the Industrial Department, including other departments of the Metropolitan Protection Office, will have to do a lot of solid and meticulous work.

These things are not something that can be done in a day or two.

It is only the preliminary survey, evaluation, research and overall design, including the group framework and related personnel arrangements, etc., which cannot be completed in one or two months.

It's better to be slower in the early stage than to clean up the mess in the later stage.

The Industrial Development Department has set up a preparatory team to be responsible for the construction of Shushan Iron and Steel Group.
