Early the next morning, the Combined Fleet set off for its return. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the port of Berbera, the soldiers who returned with honors were warmly welcomed by the players.

"Welcome our heroes!"

The warriors walked down the street, and there were frenzied cheers from both sides.

Every now and then a childish child rushes up to offer flowers, a beautiful girl gives a warm hug, a rude man gives a thumbs up, and the whole port of Berbera is immersed in a festive atmosphere.

"When the country is betrayed, there are brave people who stand up, they are real heroes!" In the face of betrayal, creating a hero can quickly erase the wounds in the hearts of the people.

In the evening, the port of Berbera is as lively as daytime with fireworks and bonfires.

In order to welcome the return of the heroes, the major taverns and restaurants in the port announced at the same time that all the soldiers who praised the return would be free of charge when they entered the store. In this way, it pushes the carnival atmosphere to a peak.

Of course, it is only the Somali players who really accept the cheers and worship of the people. The ocean-going fleet led by Ouyang Shuo did not even get off the ship, leaving all the honor to Somalia.

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

On June 17, the headquarters of the coalition forces was stationed.

The players who got drunk all night woke up one by one and started to get down to business. When the extermination of the pirates is over, they will also disperse, either back to the royal city or to their realms.

Before that, they have one more thing to do, and that is to take credit for the ocean-going fleet. "Marquis of Lianzhou, you are the real heroes of this battle, when you return to the royal city, we will definitely join forces to play the kingdom to ask for your credit."

"It's so hard work!" Ouyang Shuo hugged his fists and thanked him.

This is the reward that Shanhai City deserves, and Ouyang Shuo naturally does not need to be polite. Speaking of Chinese-style "politeness", foreign players are not used to it, they still like to deal with each other directly.

"Lian Zhouhou, you are our friend!"

Before leaving, all the bigwigs hugged Ouyang Shuo one by one.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and accepted them all. If all goes well, Shanhai City will have to deal with Somali players in the future, and it is naturally best to be able to gain their friendship.

The strong dragon is not yet the head snake.

The crowd dispersed, and Ouyang Shuo stayed in the port to wait for the good news.

In ancient times, what kind of rewards could be obtained, in addition to real military exploits, necessary operations and drill camps were also indispensable. Ouyang Shuo would not think that if he just waited, he would be able to get the reward he wanted.

Long before the combined fleet went to sea, the accompanying Honglu Temple officials had already rushed to the royal city with boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. The purpose is to make friends with the magnates of the royal city and pave the way for the mountain and sea city.

In this regard, Honglu Temple is a real connoisseur.

A few days, coupled with a lot of money to open the way, was enough for the heavyweights of the kingdom to know a lord named Hou Ye, who was called Wuyi.

As the saying goes: take people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

The officials who received the benefits, when the king organized a discussion on how to reward Ouyang Shuo, if they didn't bother to do anything, they naturally didn't mind following a few kind words.

Among them, those who took the "big head" will euphemistically put forward the needs of Shanhai City.

In this way, Ouyang Shuo can achieve his goal.

……

On the 18th of June, the reward of the royal city came down.

The proclamation was made by the chief clerk of the Kingdom, an old man with gray hair.

"Edict, the lord of Shanhai City, the supreme commander of the ocean-going fleet, the eternal friend of the Somali country, the alien Lianzhou Marquis is said to be unclothed, to help the kingdom's sailors, defeat the three major pirate groups in the Gulf of Aden, thwart the conspiracy of the traitor Farah, and save the kingdom's sailors from danger.

It is for the sake of righteousness to help each other. To see through the conspiracy is to be wise. To defeat a strong enemy is to be brave. It is for the sake of kindness to have mercy on the old and the weak. No matter benevolence, righteousness, bravery, wisdom, Lianzhou Hou is outstanding.

Such a virtuous man should be a model for the kingdom.

Therefore, he was specially awarded the title of Honorary Sir of the Kingdom of Wuyi, and was given the title of first-class baron, enjoying the same noble treatment as the barons of the kingdom, and being titled Righteous and Brave. 1,000 miles north of the port of Berbera, a hundred square kilometers of land was set aside as a permanent fief of the Baron Volunteers. ”

As soon as the bounty came out, even Somali players were surprised.

Honorary Sir and an exclusive fiefdom, I have to say that this reward is too generous.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled at the corner of his mouth and bowed.

"Congratulations, Baron Brave!" The clerk said with a smile.

Ouyang Shuo's expression was slightly embarrassed, everything else was fine, but this title was a little painful. Thinking that the secretary of the kingdom also tried his best, thinking that the Marquis of Lianzhou was from China, he didn't know where to turn to an old "Analects", and read it according to the text, so that he had the expression of benevolence and righteousness in the will.

This is where the title of Baron Righteous and Brave originates.

"It's hard work!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and handed over a huge agate stone.

Seeing this, the clerk took it without a trace, and his face smiled even more, and even the folds laughed.

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

Seeing off the clerk, Ouyang Shuo immediately issued a recruitment announcement in the port of Berbera.

"Within three days from now on, Shanhai City will recruit carpenters, stonemasons, masons, lacquerers, blacksmiths and other craftsmen, but all those related to the construction of the city are in the recruitment sequence, and there is no upper limit. The construction site includes food and accommodation, and the monthly salary is at least 2 gold coins. Intermediate and senior craftsmen, preferential treatment, specific negotiable. ”

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in the port.

In Somalia, a mid-level craftsman can only earn one gold coin a month to survive, and he also needs to pay for food and accommodation on his own. In comparison, the treatment given by Shanhai City has not only doubled?!

In just one morning, more than 500 people signed up.

Ouyang Shuo not only recruited craftsmen this time, but also recruited ordinary coolies, who also had food and shelter, and a basic salary of one gold coin. The last thing that the dock lacks is this kind of coolie, and as soon as the recruitment announcement comes out, the applicants gather.

In just one day, Shanhai City recruited 2,000 coolies.

Other than that, it's crazy purchasing. Grain, vegetables, meat, cloth and other materials, all related to food, clothing, housing and transportation, including building materials, are on the procurement list of Shanhai City.

Because the order volume was too large, Ouyang Shuo almost swept away the supplies in the port of Berbera. Such a crazy act is no longer something that can be described by a simple arrogance.

Seeing this, the merchant directly promised to transport the supplies to the fiefdom free of charge by merchant ships.

In this way, everyone is naturally happy.

The next day, the recruitment announcement and procurement news of Shanhai City quickly spread to the surrounding cities like a virus. In this regard, Ouyang Shuo's attitude is that he does not refuse to come, and the whole posture is not bad for money.

Hundreds of craftsmen, wagons laden with loads of goods, like streams, converge on the port of Berbera from all over the surrounding areas, and eventually converge into a torrent.

The image of the Marquis of Lianzhou in the kingdom made the people very trusted, and they were not worried about being repaid at all. Many businessmen don't ask, and directly pull the goods over according to the published purchase list.

Such a big move even alarmed the royal city.

After getting the news, Wang Cheng was naturally in a commotion again. There are even craftsmen, mainly high-level craftsmen, including master craftsmen, who do not hesitate to spend a gold coin to teleport directly to the port of Berbera to apply.

Even the bigwigs of Somali players can't help but visit their homes to seek possible cooperation.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo naturally welcomes it. Whether it is the life professional players in the guild or the various materials produced in the territory, they are all urgently needed by Shanhai City.

The two sides hit it off and began their first intimate collaboration.

Buy! Buy! Buy!

No matter what kind of bulk goods it was, Lian Zhouhou did not hesitate at all, and directly ate it in one bite.

The entire Somali country was suppressed by the invincible trenches of the Marquis of Lianzhou. I don't know, I thought that Lianzhou Hou was going to buy the entire Somali country.

Three days, just three days.

Ouyang Shuo spilled more than 200,000 gold coins for the purchase of various city construction materials. At the same time, 10,000 craftsmen and 15,000 life professional players, including 40,000 coolies, were recruited.

With such a large team, the salary of only one month reached more than 100,000 gold coins.

After recruitment, they will be transported to the fiefdom by boat in batches. At the same time, the massive amount of materials purchased will also be transported to the fiefdom through merchant ships in batches.

The daily flow of merchant ships between the port of Berbera and the fiefdom was endless, day and night.

A small fiefdom that immediately became the focus of the entire kingdom.

The funny thing is that Ouyang Shuo, the owner of the fiefdom, has not even set foot on the soil of the fiefdom.

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

It was only on June 21 that the ocean-going fleet began to set sail for the fiefdom.

accompanied by more than 3,000 old and weak women and children captured from Heavenly Wolf Island. Other players are not interested in receiving these pirate orphans.

Except for a few people with unique tastes, a few beautiful girls were selected to serve as servants or slaves, and the rest were handed over to Shanhai City. Ouyang Shuo thought about it for a while, and simply took them all to the fiefdom.

In this way, it can be regarded as the first batch of people in the fiefdom.

After a few days of getting along, these orphans had already learned from other mouths that it was the benevolence of the Marquis of Lianzhou that they crawled out of the mouth of death and survived.

Therefore, they are grateful to the Marquis of Lianzhou.

It was precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo was relieved to accept it, he was not willing to raise a group of white-eyed wolves. Moreover, with the supervision of the Black Snake Guard and the Shanhaiwei two major institutions, even if some of them are hostile, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the doom.

……

On the port side of Berbera, Ouyang Shuo left a few officials and a battalion of sailors to supervise the transportation of craftsmen and materials, including subsequent sporadic procurement and recruitment.

Somalia has the longest coastline in all of Africa. After the game map has been expanded tenfold, there are a number of other harbors in northern Somalia besides the port of Berbera, which are suitable for building ports.

Ouyang Shuo's fiefdom is one of them.

Covering an area of one hundred square kilometers, the area is only equivalent to the territory of a third-level village, which is completely compatible with the title authority of a first-class baron.

At least in terms of the area of the fief, the kingdom did not deduct the slightest.

The geographical location of the fiefdom is equally superior.

It is a plain valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and to the north of the valley is a natural harbor.

The topographical characteristics of the fiefdom are the same as those of the Lianzhou Basin, but they are thousands of times smaller. Yes, it is thousands of times, because the Lianzhou Basin covers an area of 240,000 square kilometers.

Such basins are all too common in the game. As long as it is any small valley in reality, the game map can be expanded tenfold to form such a "small" basin.

According to the normal idea of territorial construction, such a fief can only build a third-level village at most, and it is far away from the big city, and there is no development prospect for completion.

The kingdom gave this place to Ouyang Shuo, and the symbolic meaning was greater than the actual meaning.

The problem is that Ouyang Shuo's strategic vision and strategic layout are different from ordinary people. The ocean-going fleet has made huge sacrifices, and Ouyang Shuo has tried his best to plan, how can he allow only a small village?!

An important node in the establishment of the great route to Somalia is Ouyang Shuo's unswerving goal.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo could only break the routine.

In the average territory, the area of the city occupies less than one percent of the entire territory area, or even less. Most of the land is used to grow crops and develop the five major industries of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery.

This arrangement is also normal.

A city that cannot be built is infinite, not to mention the cost of countless costs, urban management is a major problem. Even a giant like Shanhai City, occupying an area in the Lianzhou Basin, is just a grain of millet.

Second, the first two items in clothing, food, housing and transportation need the support of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery industries. Otherwise, the people in the territory can only starve to death, and what kind of territory construction is there to talk about?!

Ouyang Shuo's approach is unique. He planned to take the entire fiefdom and directly build a giant city covering an area of 100 square kilometers. That is, a wall was erected directly along the perimeter of the fiefdom.

Outside the city, not a single cent of land is left for basic industries such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery.

Such a plan is indeed crazy, but when you think about it, it is reasonable.

A fief occupies a small area, and the first problem does not exist at all. As for the food and clothing problems of the people in the territory, Ouyang Shuo planned to solve it through external procurement.

The entire fiefdom will be a commercial capital.

Commerce and ocean trade are the soul of this city. As long as there is money, other daily necessities can be procured from the State of Somalia. It is even said that after the ocean trade is launched, it can also be purchased from neighboring countries, and there is no worry about not being able to buy materials at all.

The prerequisite is money. In other words, the need for commerce and commerce to make enough money and receive enough business taxes. Otherwise, relying on Ouyang Shuo's unilateral subsidy will not be able to sustain itself for a long time.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo is full of confidence.

Ocean trade is lucrative enough to drive all merchants crazy.

When he arrived at the fiefdom, the first thing Ouyang Shuo did was to choose a name for the city that was about to start construction. In the end, Ouyang Shuo chose Friendship City.

The Friendship City not only symbolizes the friendship between Shanhai City and Somalia, but also conveys the peace intention of Shanhai City to African and European countries.

The port outside the city is named the Port of the Brave.
