On the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the first year of Gaia, it was sunny.

Ouyang Shuo rode the black whirlwind and galloped through the wilderness. Ever since he got the horse, he had to ride it every morning to let off steam. Black Whirlwind clearly prefers the vastness of the wilderness to the cramped stables. Spread your hooves, meet the morning sun, and run as much as you want.

On the banks of the Friendship River, 2,000 acres of farmland have been reclaimed, and the rules are neat and square, and there is no edge in sight. The water in the Friendship River is channeled through ditches to farmland, forming a simple and practical irrigation system. Farmers are burying potato seedlings in the ground one by one, expecting a good harvest.

Ouyang Shuo rode his horse past the edge of the farmland, looking at the continuous farmland and the farmers who were busy working in the farmland. He seemed to see hope, the hope of harvest. The territory's grain in the first half of this year can be solved by these potatoes. He took a rough look, and at this rate, he expected to finish planting all the potatoes tomorrow.

He was pleased with the efficiency of the Reclamation Division. Zhao Dexian is really a talent, whether it is the previous construction team or the current Agricultural Reclamation Division. He managed everything in an orderly manner, and he never disappointed Ouyang Shuo, the lord. Ouyang Shuo believes that after such experience, Zhao Dexian can be qualified for more important positions in the future and become his important assistant.

Riding his horse back from the farmland and returning to the village in less than half an hour. Two arrow towers have been erected on both sides of the village entrance, and two crossbow cavalry are stationed on each arrow tower in turn, firmly guarding the village gate.

Passing through the gate of the village, you will see a commercial street that has taken shape. Buildings such as a junior grocery store, an intermediate blacksmith shop, an intermediate carpenter's workshop, a high-end tailor's shop, and a high-level martial arts hall are located on both sides of the street, bringing life to the territory.

That's right, it's a high-level tailor shop and a high-level martial arts hall, not a junior tailor shop and a junior martial arts hall. This has to do with the setting of the building level in the game. In the game, all buildings can be divided into five main categories.

The first type is buildings that purely provide living space, such as simple fences, residential courtyards, arrow towers, ferries, and stables. There is no hierarchy of this type of building, and it cannot be upgraded again after it is built. If you want to replace it, you have to dismantle and rebuild. For example, simple fences can be removed and stronger masonry walls can be built.

The second category is productive buildings such as blacksmith shops, tailor shops, carpentry workshops, martial arts halls, and medical halls. In order for this type of building to fulfill its function, it mainly depends on the skill level of skilled personnel. For example, the blacksmith shop determines whether it can only make agricultural tools or weapons, not the level of the shop itself, but the skill level of the blacksmith in the shop.

The level of this type of building is directly linked to the level of skilled personnel. For example, after the junior blacksmith Li Tiezhu was promoted to an intermediate blacksmith, the junior blacksmith shop was also promoted to an intermediate blacksmith shop.

The third category is buildings like shipyards. In order for this type of building to fulfill its function, it depends not only on the level of skilled personnel, but also on the facilities of the building itself.

Taking shipyards as an example, even if there are senior shipbuilders, because the shipyard itself is still rudimentary, the shipyard is still graded. The promotion of this kind of building needs to meet the dual requirements of the skill level of skilled personnel and the level of the building itself.

The fourth category is buildings such as village temples, ancestral halls, primary markets, and primary military camps. In order for this type of building to fulfill its function, it does not need skilled personnel at all, but relies on the building itself to achieve its function. As a result, upgrades to such buildings can only be achieved by relying on higher-level architectural drawings.

The fifth category is resource-gathering buildings such as primary lumberyards, primary quarries, and primary mining farms. The grade of this type of building is related to the amount of storage of the resource and the number of people who have mined it. If the reserves of resources are abundant enough, then as long as the number of miners is expanded, it can be directly promoted.

According to the setting of the game, those with less than 100 people are beginner, those with more than 100 people and less than 500 people are intermediate, those with more than 500 people and less than 1,000 people are advanced, and those with more than 1,000 people are at the special level.

Crossing the commercial street, Ouyang Shuo returned to the office. On the desk, there is a document, which is the defense plan of the beast siege territory formulated by Shi Wansui.

He was in no hurry to look at the document. When I passed by the commercial street just now, I saw the shabby clothes of the villagers. It dawned on him that something should be done for them. The villagers work hard every day, and they only provide them with a full meal.

He still remembers that when Zhao Dexian and his entourage came to Shanhai Village, he made a promise: to let the villagers have clothes to wear, food to eat, houses to live in, and fields to cultivate.

The villagers are still wearing the tattered clothes they wandered here, and even the family of a daughter like Cui Yingyu does not have decent clothes. Now, there is Mu Qingsi, a senior tailor. It just so happens that the territory is quite well funded, and it's time to improve everyone's clothing conditions.

"Second baby!" Ouyang Shuo shouted outside the door.

"Hey!" The second baby was playing in the courtyard, and when he heard Ouyang Shuo calling him, he hurriedly answered and ran into the office.

"Go and invite your Sister Cui and Sister Mu to my office, and say that I have something to discuss."

"Great!" The second baby responded happily and trotted out of the office.

Taking advantage of this time, Ouyang Shuo began to look through the defense plan of the beast siege territory formulated by Shi Wansui. In this plan, Shi Wansui elaborated on the defense strategy of the territory. Its core content can be summed up in eight words: active defense and active attack.

Active defense means expanding the scope of defense to the entire territory. Specifically, on the basis of doing a good job in village defense, multiple trap defense chains should be arranged outside the village.

Beasts are still beasts after all, unlike human armies with advanced intelligence. When the beast attacks the city, it must be in a state of rage and irrationality. Taking advantage of this, a random pit is placed in the territory, and sharpened wooden thorns are inserted into the pit to keep it so that the mad beasts can't eat it and walk around.

To take the initiative to attack is to give full play to the advantages of the crossbow cavalry. You can't hide in the village and passively kill monsters, but take advantage of the flexibility and speed of the cavalry team to take the initiative to attack and fight guerrilla warfare.

After reading the plan, Ouyang Shuo nodded secretly and approved Shi Wansui's strategy.

Ten minutes later, Cui Yingyu and Mu Qingsi came hand in hand. After getting along for the past few days, the two have become sisters who talk about everything. The affection is deep, and it is closer than Ouyang Shuo's eldest brother.

"Big brother, you came to me and my sister, what is the big thing to discuss?" As soon as Mu Qingsi entered the door, she smiled and joked about Ouyang Shuo. After getting along for the past few days, I felt the approachability of this lord's eldest brother, and she was no longer as shy as she was at the beginning, and she became down-to-earth and generous.

"Naturally, there is something important, otherwise, how would I dare to alarm our eldest lady Qing'er." Ouyang Shuo was not to be outdone and teased her. This little girl, since she figured out her temperament, has become more and more lawless. Although there is a reason for her own deliberate connivance, she can't be allowed to be too naughty.

"Yikes!" was teased by Ouyang Shuo in turn, and this girl was finally a little embarrassed. In the end, his nature is like this, and he muttered secretly: "Hmph, bad big brother, he will make fun of Qing'er, bad and bad!" ”

Looking at the temperament of a child like Mu Qingsi, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but think of his own sister Ouyang Bing. Although there is a gap in age between the two, they are the same innocent, delicate and cute. Come to think of it, when Bing'er also enters the game, the two will definitely play.

Ouyang Shuo didn't pay attention to her muttering, and turned his head to look at Cui Yingyu, "Yuzu, I came here this time to do a big thing for the territory." This matter needs to be completed by you and Qing'er. ”

Cui Yingyu looked at Ouyang Shuo suspiciously, and asked, "I don't know what the eldest brother is planning?" ”

"That's right. Didn't I loot 32 gold coins from the Liukou camp last time, and in addition to the 10 gold coins used to buy architectural drawings, there were still more than 20 gold coins left. In addition, Qing'er's tailor shop has also officially opened. I wondered if I could buy a batch of linen from the primary market and buy a new set of clothes for every villager in the territory. It can also be regarded as a special reward for everyone's hard work during this time. ”

Cui Yingyu smiled and said sincerely: "Big brother's move is very good. Does the eldest brother refer to each villager specifically to the existing villagers, or does it include the villagers who will join later? ”

"This treatment, I am ready to include it in the basic benefits of the territory, so it is a long-term policy. On the day the village was founded, I made a promise to the villagers. As a lord, you naturally have to walk the talk. In the past, there were no conditions, but now that there are conditions, naturally we can't break our promises. ”

When Mu Qingsi heard this, she looked at Ouyang Shuo with a pair of big eyes, her face full of adoration, "Wow, big brother, Qing'er found that she admired you more and more, what should I do?" ”

Ouyang Shuo coughed, and said lightly: "Don't worship brother, brother is just a legend!" ”

"Cut, big brother is so narcissistic, ashamed~~" This Nizi is really getting more and more unscrupulous.

Ouyang Shuo didn't care about her, and asked directly: "Qing'er, when it comes to making clothes, you, a senior tailor, naturally have the most right to speak. Tell the eldest brother how much cloth is needed to realize this benefit, and how long it will take. ”

Mu Qingsi pondered for a moment, "As far as Qing'er knows, usually a piece of cloth is 30 meters, and according to the average set of clothes using two and a half meters of cloth, it can make 12 sets of clothes." Based on the calculation of the full population of 500 people in the second-class village, about 42 pieces of cloth are needed. Qing'er now has four apprentices and can sew twenty sets of clothes a day. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and looked at the two, "It seems that this will be a long-term project." In this way, I do a division of labor here. I'm in charge of buying the fabric. Tailor-made clothes for the villagers are naturally the responsibility of Qing'er. The distribution of clothes and the arrangement of sewing clothes in batches are the responsibility of Yuzu. In principle, batches are divided on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, I am going to buy an extra brocade to sew new clothes for my two younger sisters. Just take it as a meeting gift from the eldest brother to you, and the two younger sisters must not refuse. ”

The daughter's family is still very concerned about their image, and the two of them excused themselves a little and accepted it happily.
