After completing the teleportation array setup, Ouyang Shuo began to check the teleportation cost.

Campaign map, each person costs 1 gold coin; Teleportation between provinces, one gold per person during the war, and ten gold coins per person during the non-war; Add teleportation for twenty gold per person.

These are all one-way transmission fees. In other words, if you're going to visit an ally, the cost of teleporting back and forth is twenty gold.

These teleportation fees are all collected by the system, and the lord can't get a penny. Of course, there's nothing to complain about, after all, even the teleportation array is built for you for free by the system.

"System prompt: Please select a delivery fee payment method!"

As I said earlier, the teleportation array is charged in both directions. This is just like a real-life courier, and you can choose whether the postage fee will be paid by the sender or the recipient.

There's not much to say about the cost of teleportation on the campaign map. Ouyang Shuo chose that the cost of teleportation between territories would be paid by Shanhai Town during the war, and the cost of going back and forth during the non-war period would be paid by Shanhai Town. As for adding teleportation, because it is a one-way teleportation, it is naturally paid by Shanhai Town.

With Shanhai Town's financial resources, Ouyang Shuo could choose that all transmission costs would be paid by Shanhai Town. However, as the leader of the Mountain and Sea Alliance, he couldn't do this, he had to take care of the emotions of the other allies.

The setting of Shanhai Town's teleportation fee will undoubtedly become a benchmark for other allies.

If Ouyang Shuo relied on his financial resources to be a good person, then other allies would definitely follow Shanhai Town's practice and pay for the teleportation fee for their allies, otherwise they would be looked down upon. These expenses may be nothing to Shanhai Town, but they may become a financial burden for other lords, which he does not want to see.

Therefore, as a lord, especially the alliance leader, you must understand the connotation of the eight words "enough is enough, too much". Otherwise, it is very likely that you will do bad things with good intentions and be self-defeating.

After setting the payment method for the transmission fee, Ouyang Shuo heard another system prompt in his ears.

"System prompt: Please prepare the troops participating in the first battle in advance. Note: The number of troops that a liege can lead is directly related to the title. The upper limit of the number of troops led by a third-class viscount is one hundred, two hundred for a second-class viscount, and three hundred for a first-class viscount. The upper limit of the number of troops led by the third-class earl is 500, the second-class earl is 1,000, and the first-class earl is 3,000. The upper limit of the third-class marquis is 10,000, the second-class marquis is 20,000, and the first-class marquis is 50,000. The Duke does not have an upper limit on the number of troops he can bring, and he can freely choose the number of troops he can bring. ”

Ouyang Shuo's current title is a second-class earl, that is, he can bring a thousand soldiers to the war. Including the sailor battalion, which is about to be expanded, the regular army of Shanhai Town has reached the scale of 4,000 people. He still has to discuss with Ge Hongliang about which troops to bring to the war.

After leaving the teleportation array, Ouyang Shuo sent a flying pigeon message to the four allies of the Shanhai Alliance, inviting them to gather in Shanhai Town tomorrow morning to discuss important matters.

To be honest, making such a decision was a bit difficult for Ouyang Shuo. In this way, it is equivalent to completely exposing Shanhai Town to its allies and completely unveiling the mystery of Shanhai Town.

However, as the leader of the alliance, Ouyang Shuo felt that he must have such a responsibility. Only in this way can we truly build mutual trust between allies and bring everyone together.

Back at the Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo summoned the four directors to prepare in advance for the first meeting of the Shanhai Alliance tomorrow. Since it is a rally, it is natural to visit the link.

Although they are allies, what can be seen, what cannot be seen, and to what extent they can be seen, the scale of this needs to be arranged in advance.

……

Lingxi Town, Council Chamber.

"Could it be that the Lord of the Clothless Alliance invited us to meet in Shanhai Town tomorrow to discuss the battle, which of you will accompany me? Let me first declare that Tsing Yi must accompany me. White Birch asked, looking around.

Tsing Yi nodded and remained silent.

Violet chuckled and said, "I really didn't expect him to allow us to visit Shanhai Town so generously, I don't want to miss such a bustle." ”

"What, what can there be, aren't all the territories the same, I won't go." Red Eagle said.

Bai Hua nodded and said, "That's okay, Red Eagle will guard the house, and the three of us will go to Shanhai Town tomorrow." ”

……

Magnolia Township, Mayor's Office.

"Sister, accompany me to Shanhai Town tomorrow." Mulan Yue said with a smile.

Mu Guiying looked at Mulan Yue dotingly, and said, "Why, don't dare to go alone!" ”

Mulan Yue nodded, and said coquettishly: "Well, what if that Wuyi is a big villain, I can only rest assured that I am still accompanied by my sister." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you."

……

Similar dialogues were also staged in Dragon Hunting Town and Black Lion Town.

……

Shanhai Town, Council Chamber.

"Guys, you already know about the teleportation array that appeared in the square, right?" Ouyang Shuo said.

"Yes. Does the lord know what's going on? Fan Zhongyan asked.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, explained the teleportation array and the battle map, and then said: "This battle of Zhuolu is very important to us, and we cannot afford to lose. What does the Military Affairs Agency think about the troops participating in the war? ”

Ge Hongliang pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, this is a land battle, and the Sailor Battalion will definitely not be useful. In addition, the situation of the nomadic tribe on the opposite side has been unstable recently, and the cavalry battalion has a heavy responsibility and should not be moved lightly. Therefore, his subordinates suggested that the troops participating in the battle this time should be mainly infantry, supplemented by cavalry. Among the infantry, crossbowmen are preferred. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true. In this way, the troops on this expedition were combined in this way. From the three city defense battalions, two teams of archers and three crossbowmen were drawn to serve as the main force of attack. Three infantry squadrons were drawn from the infantry battalion, one of which was to be equipped with infantry armor to act as a front-row defensive force. Finally, two cavalry squadrons were transferred from the cavalry battalion to make a countermeasure. In addition, a reconnaissance team was dispatched from the Military Intelligence Department to accompany the army. The specific coordination of troops is coordinated by the Military Affairs Agency and the battalions. ”

"Whoa!" After Ge Hongliang responded, he asked, "My lord, how to arrange the generals who will go on this expedition?" ”

Which general to arrange for the expedition is a sensitive issue. With Ge Hongliang's qualifications, he would not dare to make decisions without permission. Not to mention the super-level generals like Shi Wansui, the two middle-level generals Lin Yi and Pei Donglai, are on par with Ge Hongliang in terms of qualifications and ability.

Ouyang Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "This expedition, I will personally take command, and Director Ge will be the military advisor. As for the other generals, among the infantry, Shi Wansui is the main general, and Zhao Sihu is the deputy general. Among the cavalry, Lin Yi is the main general, and there is no deputy general. On the side of the Military Intelligence Department, Song San personally went out. "Because the battle is a situational mission, the time flow rate is not consistent with the main map, so Ouyang Shuo did not deliberately arrange the generals to defend the city.

Ge Hong nodded brightly and did not make any comments.

"After the meeting, the Military Affairs Administration will gather these troops together as soon as possible for joint training. In addition, the Combat Readiness Division, the Jiafang Division, and the Bow and Crossbow Division must do a good job in logistical support. Ouyang Shuo then commanded.

"Understood." Ge Hongliang said.

After discussing the matter of the expedition, Ouyang Shuo continued: "Tomorrow morning, a group of guests will visit our Shanhai Town. These people are our allies. ”

"How is Big Brother going to entertain them?" Yingyu asked.

"Tomorrow's trip, I want to arrange it like this. First, at the teleportation array, a simple welcome ceremony is held. Then, there was a formal alliance ceremony. After that, I took them to visit Shanhai Town. The scope of the tour is limited to the base camp. Finally, a meeting was held in the council chamber to discuss the battle. Ouyang Shuo said.

The faces of the four directors changed, and this trip was not easy at all.

"Time is tight, and the task is heavy. Here, I do a simple division of labor. Welcome ceremony, you don't need to prepare for this, everyone can just greet me when the time comes. The alliance ceremony was in charge of Mr. Xiwen, with the cooperation of the Material Reserve Department, and the only requirement was solemnity. If you visit, there are no forbidden places except for the military zone, and everything is open to allies. The final deliberations are prepared by the Military Affairs Administration. Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.

"Whoa!" Those who were named responded one after another.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Military Affairs Agency arranged a simple military parade. The object of the review was the 1,000 soldiers who went out on this expedition. Take this opportunity to show our allies a little bit about our weaponry. The Financial Services Department should be prepared and may have to negotiate with them for the price of various types of equipment at that time. Ouyang Shuo suddenly remembered, why not take this opportunity to start the prelude to the arms business in Shanhai Town.

Ge Hongliang responded directly, but Yingyu was a little hesitant. Born in a merchant family, she was not sensitive to the price of various weapons and equipment, and asked directly: "Does the eldest brother have a psychological price?" ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "In terms of armor, Mingguang armor is not for sale, so let's not talk about it for the time being." Step Man A, a set of twenty-five gold coins. In terms of weapons, a Tang knife hardware coin, a longbow or horn bow ten gold coins, and a divine arm crossbow fifteen gold coins. Ouyang Shuo's quotation was not considered from the perspective of cost at all, but was completely decided based on the supply and demand of the market.

With Ouyang Shuo's confession, Yingyu knew it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, big brother, you can rest assured that you will hand it over to the Finance Department to ensure that the task is completed." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "There is one more thing." The Finance Department delivered the gold from the Wolf Mountain Mine in advance this month to raise a sum of money, and the funds in my hands have dried up. ”

"Yes!" Yingyu nodded and said.
