When Gu Xiuwen and his entourage left Shanhai Town, Ouyang Shuo gave him 200 gold coins for the transfer of the two newly formed sailor squadrons.

Because the combat effectiveness of the water bandits has surpassed that of the militia, they can skip the militia and directly transfer to sailors, and the transfer cost of each sailor is 1 gold coin.

In Earth Online, the generals do not have the right to become a soldier, and this authority is only available to the lord and the chief of the subordinate territory ordered by the lord. The intention of this is to form a kind of check and balance to prevent military generals from privately expanding the size of the army.

After that, Ouyang Shuo came to the intermediate market and first sold eight architectural drawings that were not used for 40 gold coins. Then spent 200 gold to buy a high-level barracks building blueprint. Since the beginning of the formation of the regular army, military spending has increased dramatically. In just a few moments, 400 gold coins were consumed.

March 1, 9 a.m., Shanhai Town Chamber.

Ouyang Shuo silently thought about the upgrade of the territory in his heart, a white light flashed, and in the middle of the council hall, a golden stone tablet slowly rose from the ground. He pressed his right hand on the front of the stele, and the system beep sounded.

"System Prompt: Detect Shanhai Town Upgrade Condition ......"

"Condition 1: The population reaches the upper limit of 2,000 people, and the requirements are met!"

"Condition 2: All basic buildings are completed and meet the requirements!"

"Condition 3: The lord's title is at least a second-class viscount, and the requirements are met!"

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player, all the upgrade conditions of the mountain and sea town established by Wuyi have met the requirements, is it upgraded?"

"Level up!"

On the stele, golden light rose into the sky, exploded in the sky, turned into a golden halo, and spread out in all directions. The halo stretched to the new edge of the territory and vanished again.

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for becoming the first lord in China to be upgraded to a second-level township, and the reward is 1100 points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for becoming the first lord in China to be upgraded to a second-level township, and the reward is 1100 points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for becoming the first lord in China to be upgraded to a second-level township, and the reward is 1100 points!"

It has only been five days since the promotion of Handan Town in Dichen to a first-class township, and Shanhai Town has been promoted to a second-class township again, and the hegemony of China has become more and more difficult to shake.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for upgrading the territory to a second-level township. Town-level lord's mansions are automatically upgraded. Three second-level township buildings are randomly drawn, and the player can choose one of them. ”

"System prompt: Three buildings are randomly selected to complete, which are vegetable fields, textile factories and pharmacies, please choose!"

"Choose a textile mill!"

"System Prompt: Buildings are being automatically generated, please check for yourself!"

A white light flashed, and the golden stele slowly sank to the ground again. Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check the attributes of Shanhai Town.

[Alchemy Workshop]: Smelting workshop, processing all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. Construction conditions: Alchemist, Alchemy Workshop building drawings, 1500 units of wood, 1800 units of stone. Construction time: three days.

Among the seven basic buildings in the second-level township, the vegetable field and the medicine garden do not need architectural drawings, the textile factory and the money village have been built, and the remaining post stations, pharmacies and alchemy workshops have obtained the corresponding architectural drawings when the water village was exterminated two days ago. As a result, it is no longer necessary to purchase architectural drawings.

Of the seven buildings, the most troublesome is the Alchemy Workshop. Alchemist is a rare profession in China, and it is generally a part-time Taoist priest, and it is difficult to find a full-time alchemist. In the previous life, there was a territory that was stuck in the second-level township for three months because of the lack of alchemists. I just don't know, relying on the strong territorial characteristics of Shanhai Town, there is no chance to get it.

Of course, the system doesn't do things perfectly. Generally speaking, if all other conditions for the promotion of the territory have been met, but there is a lack of a special talent. Then a month at most, it will definitely be brushed out.

The unlucky guy in the previous life used the lowest-level bronze-level village building order, and the homeless refresh was refreshed according to the basic value of 50, and it took two months to reach a full population of 5,000 people, and another month to wait for an alchemist.

Even with the refresh speed of such a strong homeless person as Shanhai Town, to accumulate a full population of 5,000 people, normally speaking, it will take 40 days, a relatively long time.

Just after the upgrade of Shanhai Town was completed, the two allies, Bai Hua of Lingxi Village and Mulan Yue of Mulan Village, respectively sent congratulations to congratulate Shanhai Town on reaching a higher level.

Since the alliance, Ouyang Shuo has been in contact with Bai Hua and Mulan Yue from time to time, exchanging some territorial management experience and the progress of the other party's territory construction.

He knew that since he got the township upgrade strategy he taught, Lingxi Village was not far from being upgraded to a township, and he would be promoted in two days at the earliest. However, because the foundation of Mulan Village is relatively weak and there are no deep network resources like Lingxi Village, the progress will lag behind, and it will take at least half a month.

To be honest, this upgrade, except for the increase in the population limit and the expansion of the territory area again, did not have much impact on Shanhai Town. The administrative structure at the town level has basically matured, and various industries have been rolled out in an orderly manner, and the next step is to wait patiently.

On the contrary, a deep-seated crisis is approaching Shanhai Town step by step. The further back down the territory, the greater the need for funds. In the early stage, Shanhai Village relied on the 100 gold coins rewarded by the village building task, and it was able to mix the wind and water. Nowadays, hundreds or thousands of gold coins are consumed in a short time.

On the contrary, the major powers have passed the difficult period of lack of gold coins. As the major professional gold groups gain a foothold in the wilderness, they can continue to access construction funds through credits. Now they are silent because they are trapped in an exponential obstacle to upgrading the townships. Once this obstacle is crossed, it will take a leap forward. Ouyang Shuo estimated that stimulated by today's upgrade of Shanhai Town, it is very likely that Dichen will forcibly upgrade Handan Town to a second-level township tomorrow.

Therefore, if Shanhai Town wants to continue to maintain its leading position, it must open up new sources of funding. But that's easier said than done. In addition to such a short-term and quick means as suppressing bandits, the incubation of any industry does not require enough time. However, after all, the rogues are limited and cannot be a long-term solution.

In the face of many challenges, Ouyang Shuo must remain calm enough. Therefore, after this territorial upgrade, he did not convene the chiefs of the various divisions and offices and hold a territorial meeting as usual, but returned to the office alone to think about countermeasures.
