Today's grassland is just a push of dry firewood, just a little bit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the fire of the prairie burned, the bazaar set up outside Youyi County quietly prospered.

In recent days, there have always been unidentified herdsmen rushing to the market with a large number of sheep, furs, and even frog horses, hoping to exchange these supplies for grain and iron tools with Youyi County.

Food, iron, is a controlled item. Zhou Haichen, the county commander of Youyi County, did not dare to make an assertion, and immediately sent a letter to the base camp to ask the lord how to deal with it.

Ouyang Shuo's strategic purpose was to completely drag the nomadic tribe into the whirlpool of war. In this way, they will not only reduce their threat to Friendship County, but also make a profit from it.

These mysterious buyers, needless to say, must have been sent by various tribes, and most of them were medium-sized tribes. They want to exchange food and iron tools, and they think with their toes, and they know what they want to do.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo annotated in the official letter that iron could not be traded directly, but the restrictions on iron ore were lifted and iron ore was allowed to circulate freely in the market.

Ouyang Shuo was not worried that after the iron ore flowed into the nomadic tribes, it would raise tigers. The growth of nomadic tribes is far less than the development speed of Shanhai County. When the grassland calms down again, maybe, Shanhai County already has the strength to crush them, and a mere iron ore is nothing.

Last month, when the nine-dash line was leading the team to draw a map of the territory, another iron ore field was discovered 20 kilometers away from the western outskirts of the territory. The Supplies Reserve Agency has arranged for miners to excavate at the new mine.

The new iron mine is located only ten kilometers away from the banks of the Friendship River.

The transportation of iron ore will take a combination of land and water transportation. First, wooden oxen and horses are transported to the river bank, and then transported to the wharf of Shanhai County through special boats.

Therefore, there is no shortage of iron ore in Shanhai County today.

Ouyang Shuo also instructed in the official letter that for the trade of nomadic tribes, the grain should be twice the market price, that is, 20 copper coins per unit; Iron ore is sold at three times the market price, which is 300 copper coins per unit.

Ouyang Shuo did not do this to take advantage of the danger of others.

First, food prices are already showing signs of volatility, and by the end of August, an upward pattern is expected. At this time, according to the price of 10 copper coins per unit, it will be a big loss.

As for iron ore, it is a controlled item in itself, so it is natural to increase the price. It can't be said that Shanhai County should be a living Lei Feng and act as a free porter for the nomadic tribes.

The confiscation of their customs duties is already the most benevolent and righteous thing.

With Ouyang Shuo's approval, Zhou Haichen was full of energy. Youyi County joined hands with the Material Reserve Bureau to directly unload the transported iron ore at the Youyi County wharf and transport it to the market for sale.

On August 10, Xunlong Town ushered in the siege of the Liukou.

Ouyang Shuo did not go to watch the battle, but patiently stayed in the territory and handled government affairs.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo heard a system announcement in his ears.

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for becoming the tenth lord in China who has been upgraded to a first-class county town, and will be rewarded with 400 merit points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for becoming the tenth lord in China who has been upgraded to a first-class county town, and will be rewarded with 400 merit points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for becoming the tenth lord in China who has been upgraded to a first-class county town, and will be rewarded with 400 merit points!"

Originally, such a system announcement could no longer arouse the interest of players. But immediately following this system announcement, it was another system announcement.

"System announcement: China has successfully promoted ten county territories, triggered the campaign system, and the second battle, the Battle of Makino, will be officially opened in three days, so stay tuned. Friendly reminder: The Battle of Makino is a non-mandatory campaign scenario mission, and only territories above the township level are eligible to sign up. ”

Compared with the first battle of Zhuolu, players are no longer ignorant of the battle. A battle of Zhuolu fully proved that participating in the battle is a big gamble, and the weak eat the strong.

A strong person like Shanhai Town naturally makes a lot of money. But for the average player, the gains outweigh the losses. Their troops, not only in small quantity but also in quality, are unable to grasp the initiative in the war, and in the end, they can only become cannon fodder.

Some lords excitedly took a hundred soldiers to the battle, but the whole army was wiped out, and what they gained was only a pitiful few hundred merit points. Inputs and outputs, completely disproportionate.

Therefore, as to whether or not to participate in the campaign, it is natural for the benevolent to see the wise and the wise to see the wise.

Today, there are more than 1,000 townships and towns in China. In the end, it is not known how many lords volunteered to participate in the battle.

Of course, for the members of the Shanhai Alliance, there is no question of choice at all.

As soon as the Dragon Finder received everyone's congratulations on the Alliance Channel, he received such a system announcement, not only was he startled, but jokingly said: "I'll go, is this battle started by me?" Isn't the system supposed to send me some reward or something? ”

"Stinky fart, you!" The siege lion is not angry.

"Haha, little lion, you are Chiguoguo's jealousy." Searching for the dragon point is rare and not calm.

"......" The siege lion let out a series of speechless expressions.

"Okay, I can finally earn merit points." Mulan Yue is the happiest, she is worried about the meritorious value.

"Wuyi, which camp are you going to choose this time?" Shirakaba asked.

The Battle of Makino, also known as the "Battle of King Wu", was a decisive battle fought in Makino between the allied forces of King Wu of Zhou and the army of the Shang Dynasty. Because Emperor Xin first conquered Li in the northwest and then razed in the southeast, although he was victorious, he was reckless in his army, which exacerbated social and class contradictions, and finally the army was defeated and self-immolated, and the Shang Dynasty perished.

This is the characterization of the battle of Makino in the history books.

However, Ouyang Shuo looked through the information during this time, and in his opinion, this battle was excessively beautified by Confucianism in later generations, and the destruction of Shang in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the killing of the Shang king were undoubtedly the most typical crimes of rebellion and murder of kings at that time, and there was no justice at all.

The bloody and tragic "Battle of Muye" is far from being depicted by later generations, it is a war in which the Zhou people rely on their lofty morality and "are not bloody", and the burning and looting of the Zhou army in Chaoge after the war does not have the slightest glorious image.

The reason why such a description appeared in later generations is largely due to the dominance of Confucianism in ideology and culture. What Confucius, the originator of Confucianism, admired was precisely the system and thought of "etiquette and music" established by the Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the Confucian classics must package and establish the Western Zhou Dynasty as the embodiment of justice and benevolence.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to allow a true record of the bloodshed, massacre, burning, and looting that took place in the "Battle of Makino", a war in which the Zhou people "walked for the heavens".

This is consistent with their motive for erasing and demonizing the historical exploits of the Emperor.

Regardless of the truth of history, in the end. Ouyang Shuo, out of consideration of his own interests, announced his camp choice on the alliance channel: "I choose the Shang Dynasty camp. ”

"Huh?" Mulan Yue was surprised.

Bai Hua asked directly: "Wuyi, do you want to change the outcome of history?" ”

"Not bad!" Ouyang Shuo was blunt.

In the first battle of Zhuolu, Chun Shenjun and Wolf Warrior had already used bloody facts to tell a group of lord players how difficult it was to change the outcome of the battle.

At this time, Ouyang Shuo made an unexpected decision, which couldn't help but make people wonder.

"No clothes, are you sure?" Phoenix Prisoner asked.

Ouyang Shuo naturally didn't dare to pack the ticket, "The specific battle scene, how Gaia deduced, none of us knows." Therefore, if you want to say that you are sure, there is really nothing. All I can say is that some preparatory work was done. Whether it will work is still unknown. ”

What Ouyang Shuo said was indeed the truth.

In his previous life, he did not participate in the Battle of Makino, and the information he could understand was very limited.

"Preparation?" Bai Hua was keenly aware of the unusualness in Ouyang Shuo's words, and said in surprise: "Wuyi, you mean, you know about this battle in advance?" ”

Ouyang Shuo shook his head amusedly, "Of course I don't know, I'm not an immortal." Through the battle of the deer, it is not difficult to find that the battle selected by Gaia should be the most important or representative battle of a dynasty. Think about it, after the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it is Xia Shang Zhou. Is there any other battle in this period that is more representative than the Battle of Makino? Therefore, I had previously guessed that it was very likely that Gaia would choose this battle. It's just that I'm not sure yet, so I didn't tell you. ”

Ouyang Shuo's words are half-truths and half-truths. pointed out Gaia's principle of choosing the battle, and concealed the fact that he learned the truth in advance because he was reborn.

Bai Hua was relieved and said with a smile: "Wuyi, I trust your judgment and choose the Shang Dynasty camp." ”

"I listen to Brother Wuyi." Mulan Yue, who has a black belly, of course will not give up Ouyang Shuo, a big backer, in the last battle of Zhuolu, if there was no Ouyang Shuo, she would not have been able to achieve such beautiful results.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head amusedly, "I still say the same thing, the alliance does not force everyone to choose a camp. It's just one thing, everyone must keep the camp I chose strictly secret. I don't want Chunshenjun and them to choose the opposite camp because of my existence. ”

Ouyang Shuo's words made everyone laugh. Don't think about it, as long as you choose to be in the same camp as Ouyang Shuo, then the identity of the representative of the Inhumans will not be spent in the second family, which is certainly not what Chun Shenjun wants to see.

"I still think it's more reliable to follow you without clothes." The phoenix prisoner followed suit.

"Follow the eldest brother, there is meat to eat." The siege lion is called shrewd, concise and to the point.

In the end, there is only the dragon search point. This guy, in the last battle of Zhuolu, pretended to be smart, and he was blind to a fierce general like Qin Qiong, and compared to Bai Hua, his results were a lot worse.

suffered a loss, and finally learned to be smart, and said obediently: "Listen to the eldest brother." (To be continued.) )
