Chapter 192: Operation Wildfire (Part I)

Lin Yi's plan, codenamed Wildfire, is a metaphor for igniting the fire of the prairie in the grassland melee. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The success or failure of the wildfire operation is related to the future orientation of Shanhai County's policy towards nomadic tribes and the progress of the construction of Shanhai County's cavalry troops.

The Military Affairs Administration will work with Lin Yi to formulate a more detailed plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Ouyang Shuo had just returned from Youyi County and plunged headlong into government affairs.

……

On 20 July, the formation of the cavalry battalion in Lushui County was completed, and Liao Kai was appointed as the head of the cavalry battalion. The cost of transferring to the cavalry battalion was naturally deducted from the income of the first half of July.

Three days ago, Ouyang Shuo reached the first transaction with the Dali Cui's Chamber of Commerce on the super trading platform.

The Beidui Salt Farm produces a total of 2.5 million units of salt in half a month, and according to the market price of 20 copper coins per unit, the Cui's Chamber of Commerce needs to pay 5,000 gold coins. The system deducts 10% of the transaction tax, and what Ouyang Shuo actually got is 4,500 gold coins, and after deducting the operating costs of the Beidui Salt Farm, there are still 4,100 gold coins left.

After the system is updated and the transaction tax is halved, the North Dusk Salt Farm can save 1,000 gold coins in taxes every month.

As for the Wolf Mountain Mine, it is natural to hand over 4,000 gold coins without being moved.

The mineral experts in the expert group have been stationed in the Wolf Mountain Mine and have begun to guide the Wolf Mountain Mine on how to mine, beneficiate and refine gold ore more scientifically and rationally. It is preliminarily expected that the output of the Wolf Mountain mine will increase by at least 10% in August. The technical guidance of a mineral expert can increase the income of Shanhai County by at least 800 gold coins per month. That's where the Panels come in, and their elevation of the realm is comprehensive.

The 8,100 gold coins in the first half of the month, after deducting the 750 gold coins for the transfer fee of the cavalry battalion, and then making up the transmission fee of 4,400 gold coins advanced by the Four Seas Money Bank, there are only 2,950 gold coins left.

The cost of recruiting a player to a province through a teleportation array is very high and very luxurious. To drag a family and bring a mouth, an average life professional player will consume a teleportation fee of 5 gold coins.

Ouyang Shuo has not yet calculated the cost of providing each player with a set of ordinary courtyards.

Like Emperor Chen, they recruited players to settle in the territory before, basically choosing new players and arranging them to be born directly into the territory. Only these big forces have the strength to use such huge human resources in reality.

After interstellar migration, they don't have such convenience. can only be like Ouyang Shuo, honestly pay the transmission fee. This is undoubtedly a heavy burden for Emperor Chen.

According to Phoenix Prisoner, on the eve of immigration, the major forces concentrated in their own territories and put a large number of new players to avoid teleportation costs. As for the exact number, it is not known.

The remaining 2,950 gold coins in the first half of the month did not heat up in Ouyang Shuo's hands, and he used this fund to purchase 2.95 million units of grain through the Cui Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, in the second half of this year, Shanhai County basically does not have to worry about food. The price paid was that Ouyang Shuo consumed nearly 9,000 gold coins just to purchase additional food.

Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to imagine what kind of price other territories would have to pay for food after the price of grain increased. You must know that other territories do not have the 40,000 acres of fertile land in Shanhai County, and more grain needs to be purchased.

The only thing that is gratifying is that other territories do not have such a large population base as Shanhai County, and such a terrifying refresh rate of displaced people.

If the funds are abundant, Ouyang Shuo even considered whether to do a reselling of grain. Taking advantage of the fact that the price of grain has not risen yet, buy a batch, and wait until the price rises before selling.

Regarding the prediction of the grain market, Ouyang Shuo had already informed the members of the Shanhai Alliance in advance, including Song Wen. As for whether they have the funds to hoard enough food in advance, Ouyang Shuo can't help it.

No matter how big Shanhai County is, it doesn't have so much money, and it subsidizes five or six territories at the same time.

Besides, they are just allies, and Ouyang Shuo is not a philanthropist. No matter which territory it is, if it wants to borrow money from Shanhai County, it must allow Sihai Money Village to open branches in their territory.

On the other side of Mulan Town, Ouyang Shuo is ready to wait until the end of the month, and after the profits of the second half of July are collected, he will add an additional reserve to the Mulan Town Branch of Sihai Qianzhuang.

As for the funds for the purchase of food by the Supplies Division, it has been settled. According to Yingyu's meaning, she took out part of the funds she deposited in the Four Seas Money Village and used it to buy surplus grain from the farmers.

The surplus grain in the hands of the farmer does not need to be purchased at one time. It's entirely possible to buy a portion every month, wait until it's sold, and then buy another batch, and so on. Otherwise, the one-time purchase of this batch of grain requires tens of thousands of gold coins, which is simply the biggest waste of funds.

On average, one farmer cultivates 10 acres of land. According to the calculation of 350 units per mu, it is 3,500 units of grain, 117 units are handed over, and the rations for the second half of the year can be sold, and 3,200 units of grain can be sold, making a profit of 3 gold coins and 20 silver coins. After deducting the commercial tax generated by the sale of grain, the actual profit is 3 gold and 10 silver coins. There are two seasons a year, and the annual income is 6 gold coins and 20 silver coins, and after removing the cost, the final profit is about 5 gold coins.

If the farmer is more diligent, raising some poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese, or even raising a pig, he can make a profit of dozens of silver coins in a year to subsidize the family.

Therefore, in fact, the income of the farmer is not low, and he is almost catching up with the annual salary of an ordinary fifth-order soldier. The difference is that the soldiers are covered with food and shelter, and there is still room for improvement in military salaries.

The reason for this is that the farmer has enough arable land, and the calculation is based on fertile farmland. Second, the tax revenue set by Shanhai County is already at the lowest level in history. Third, in terms of grain procurement, Ouyang Shuo did not buy low and sell high, squeezing farmers.

All these things have created a high income for farmers in Shanhai County.

……

In the past month and a half, Mulan Town has developed rapidly with the support of Sihai Qianzhuang.

With the funds borrowed from Sihai Qianzhuang, Mu Guiying successfully established the Mulan Town City Defense Battalion. With the city defense battalion, Mu Guiying attacked everywhere to exterminate the rogue in the territory.

The suppression of bandits not only trained the troops and eliminated the hidden dangers of the territory, but also brought a steady stream of population, materials and funds to Mulan Town, which greatly improved the situation of Mulan Town.

In addition, the town of Mulan has also been built with stone walls, and its defense has been greatly increased. The privatization of the territory has also been completely completed, and it is no longer a semi-finished product. The private economy of the territory began to sprout, slowly accumulating potential, and waiting for the future explosion.

The current development momentum of Mulan Town is almost a copy of the previous Shanhai Town.

A week ago, Mulan Township had been successfully promoted to a third-class township. After being promoted, the miners of Mulan Town unexpectedly discovered a large silver mine in the territory, which was another source of wealth. Although the silver mine is not comparable to the gold mine, if you mine it with all your might, you can get more than 200 gold coins every month.

Now the biggest obstacle to the promotion of Mulan Town is the title of Mulan Yue.

In the battle of Zhuolu, Mulan Yue earned 2,500 merit points and promoted his title from a third-class viscount to a first-class viscount. Coupled with the suppression of bandits during this time, Mulan Yue's merit value has reached 5,000 points, but there is still 1,400 merit points away from the third-class earl.

Fortunately, Mulan Town has just been promoted to a third-level township, and it will take some time to reach the full population of 1,000 people. Perhaps, in the future battle of Zhennanguan, he can nag enough merit points for Mulan Yue.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if another campaign is triggered during this period, all problems will be solved.

The rapid development of Mulan Town has provoked the siege lion to be very angry. In the current Shanhai Alliance, only his Black Lion Town is still a second-level township. Due to the lack of funds, the siege lions did not dare to recruit too many players to settle in the territory, because they simply could not afford the high teleportation costs.

In desperation, the siege lion finally relented and invited Ouyang Shuo to open a branch of Sihai Qianzhuang in Black Lion Town.

Ouyang Shuo naturally had no reason to refuse, the financial situation of the territory had been getting better and better recently, and the Guangwolf Mountain Mine and the Northern Dusk Salt Farm had increased their income by nearly 2,000 gold coins out of thin air every month. With these additional incomes, it was enough to support him to open a branch of Sihai Qianzhuang in Black Lion Town.

Ouyang Shuo replied to the siege lion, and waited until the end of this month, as soon as the funds in Shanhai County were in place, he would send someone to Black Lion Town to open a branch of Sihai Qianzhuang, so that he could prepare in advance.

Ouyang Shuo's ambition is to open the money village from all over the world to all major territories. Even if you can't be the only money bank in other territories, you have to become one of the main money banks in other territories if you control their economic lifeline.

To realize this ambition, the first step is naturally to open the branch of the Four Seas Money Bank to the territory of each ally. Now that Mulan Town and Black Lion Town have been captured, it is estimated that it will be a matter of time before Dragon Town is hunted.

As for Lingxi County and Luofeng County, they need specific opportunities to settle in successfully. Especially Luofeng County, even if Feng Prisoner agrees, the family behind her will not agree.

And the reason why Lingxi County can still support it is not unrelated to the [Qingfeng Pavilion] of Dali Mansion. The gold striking group of [Qingfeng Pavilion] has been behind the scenes, silently supporting the development of Lingxi County.

Lingxi County and [Qingfeng Pavilion] gradually formed a symbiotic relationship, which was somewhat similar to the cooperation agreement signed between Shanhai County and the Dead Snow Rose Troupe.

The only difference is that Lingxi County does not have such a developed military industry as Shanhai County.

It's not Ouyang Shuo who is despicable, taking advantage of the danger of others and attacking his allies. Because this in itself is a win-win situation, and it is also conducive to enhancing the unity of the Shanhai Alliance.

Is there any alliance that is stronger than an alliance of economic integration? (To be continued.) )
