When Ouyang Shuo and his entourage arrived at Gushan Town, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Led by Lei Fan, the leader of the large tribe Thunderbolt Tribe, eleven tribal leaders respectfully greeted Ouyang Shuo's arrival. Lei Fan is also a candidate for the chief official of Gushan Town elected by the tribal alliance.

After a short contact, Ouyang Shuo discovered Lei Fan's extraordinary.

It is reported that Lei Fan took over the position of the leader of the Raiden tribe at the age of twenty-four, and it has been ten years since then, and his prestige in the tribe is very high. Not only that, but even the leaders of other tribes also have a lot of respect for Lei Fan.

Compared with the conservative nature of Shi Xiong, the leader of the Xuanyao tribe, Lei Fan is much more open-minded and has a more unique vision. This time the thunder tribe went down the mountain, and it was also the result of Lei Fan's push.

Lei Fan has long realized that what Shanman wants to live a better life and integrate into the Han people is the best choice.

Tian Wenjing visited the Thunderbolt Tribe, and the two hit it off.

After a brief meeting, Ouyang Shuo changed the name of Gushan Town to Gushan County, and officially appointed Lei Fan as the Gushan County Commander, with the authority to appoint officials at all levels below the county commander.

That night, Ouyang Shuo met Lei Fan alone, and the two had a deep conversation.

Ouyang Shuo promised that the base camp would provide a batch of grain for free to Gushan County. The tasks of Gushan County are, first, to build a city wall and strengthen the city defense; The second is to reclaim farmland and prepare in advance for spring plowing in the coming year.

Given that the population of Gushan County has exceeded 30,000 and there is still nearly a year to go before the first rice harvest next year, it is expected that the grain demand will exceed 10 million units.

With such a huge demand for food, the base camp naturally cannot provide all of it for free. According to Ouyang Shuo's proposal, Shanman borrowed grain from the Material Reserve Bureau, and after the first rice harvest of the next year, he would replenish the Material Reserve Bureau.

In addition, Lei Fan's more important task is to continue to promote the mountain barbarian policy in Shanhai County, and contact more mountain barbarian tribes to go down the mountain and settle in Gushan County.

The mountains in the south are basically consumed.

To contact the mountain barbarians, either go deep into the mountains and forests, or go north. In any case, Lei Fan can play a more important role than the Xuanniao tribe. As the leader of a large mountain tribe, he kept in touch with other large mountain tribes. Through the large mountain barbarian tribes, and then radiating to the four directions, it is undoubtedly the most effective.

In fact, with the reorganization of Gushan County, the status of the Xuanniao tribe in Ouyang Shuo's heart has declined more and more. Their only role is to assist in the mining of the Wolf Mountain Mine.

As for other mountain affairs, because the Xuanniao tribe is only a medium-sized tribe, both in terms of vision and connections, it can no longer provide too much help to Tian Wenjing.

As for the other small and medium-sized tribes that did not agree to descend the mountain, Ouyang Shuo had already decided to ignore them and leave them to fend for themselves.

Early the next morning, Ouyang Shuo led his troops to leave and returned to Shanhai County that night. Ouyang Shuo hurried back, since tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, he couldn't be absent.

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

October 4th of the first year of Gaia, the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Southwest University Hall, Falling Star Island.

The moon and stars are scarce, and all the sounds are quiet, Jiang Shang sits alone on the stone in front of the courtyard, nostalgic for the moon, in order to send condolences.

The Si people have passed away, but the bright moon lasts forever, and it remains unchanged for eternity. Thousands of years of hard work, all pay for the water.

"Master, this is a moon cake sent by the Hou Mansion." The servant holds a box of delicate mooncakes in his hand.

"Hmm." Jiang Shang's expression moved slightly, and he once again restored the ancient well.

The young servant didn't dare to be abrupt, put the moon cake aside, and quietly retreated.

After the servant left, Jiang Shang picked up a piece of moon cake and muttered to himself, "Still haven't you given up?" ”

The moon is speechless, and the people are speechless. The breeze blows, and a lake of blue waves is waved.

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

Hou Mansion, back garden.

After the family banquet, Ouyang Shuo invited everyone to the back garden to admire the moon.

The cool autumn breeze brings the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Bing'er held a bouquet of osmanthus in her hand, ran to Zisu, and said crisply: "Sister Zisu, Bing'er wants to eat osmanthus cake." ”

Zi Su nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask Aunt Wang to make osmanthus cake for the little lady." ”

Ouyang Shuo looked at this scene funny, he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.

Lately, territorial affairs have kept him busy with his feet. The situation outside the territory is also changing.

The last attempt to kill the army ended in a big defeat. The strange thing is that after the Killing Army returned, there was no news that reached Ouyang Shuo's ears, as if a stone had sunk into the sea.

After the temptation, Emperor Chen and they will definitely be more cautious. If they gave up their plot against Shanhai County and killed Ouyang Shuo, they didn't believe it. The storms of the future will only be more subtle and more intense.

Regarding territorial affairs, Ouyang Shuo has gradually felt a little powerless. He struggled to plan everything for Shanhai County, while at the same time carefully maintaining the operation of the alliance, physically and mentally exhausted.

With more and more subordinate territories, Ouyang Shuo needs a talent who can control the overall situation for him, Jiang Shang, who lives in seclusion on Falling Star Island, is undoubtedly the right person, but unfortunately the sky is not satisfactory.

"Brother, eat moon cakes." Bing'er took a piece of moon cake and handed it to Ouyang Shuo.

"Baby!" Ouyang Shuo took the moon cake, smiled slightly, and all his worries were gone.

The wind is worry-free, and people are worry-free. The moonlight is like a screen, flashing brightly.

"Wood, I've been receiving some letters from my old classmates these days." Song Jia said suddenly.

"Old classmates? How do they know your ID? ”

"Yes, most of them are junior high school students. I suspect that Ruan Ping should have leaked it. On the eve of the emigration, he was very close to his classmates, and heard that many people were attracted to settle in his territory. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and immediately guessed the intention: "They want to join the Eastern Fence Sword Sect?" ”

"Yes, what do you think?" On major matters, Song Jia will still ask Ouyang Shuo's opinion.

"Welcome, just remember to keep an eye on it." Ouyang Shuo is indispensable.

"Hmm." Song Jia naturally knows how to measure.

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

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the food crisis broke out completely, and the price of grain rose to 30 copper coins per unit.

The lords had to tighten their belts to get by, and the major grain merchants in the royal city made a lot of money.

At the end of October, it is the day of the second rice harvest. Needless to say, everyone knows that in late October, food prices will fall.

October, the hardest month for becoming a lord player.

Many territories have been pushed to the edge of the cliff. The funds of the territory have long been depleted, and the limited resources have been sold off, and there is no other way. In desperation, some lords began to smuggle valuable weapons and equipment to adventure players to obtain funds and buy life-saving food.

A large number of weapons and equipment flowed into the market, and the major guilds waited for an opportunity to launch a rush to buy.

Compared to lord players, adventure players are not dragged down by food prices at all. Adventure players are not like lords, who have a large number of lords to feed, they are fed alone, and the whole family is worry-free.

In desperation, some lords began to raise their domain taxes. Not only that, but they also sold the grain they bought from the market at a high price to the people in the territory at a high price, causing a lot of complaints.

In Shanhai County, the price of grain in the grain store has been maintained at 11 copper coins per unit.

Lords suffer from high food prices because they need to stabilize the price of food in their territories. If the price of grain in the territory rises along with the market, it will not only be a huge blow to the people's morale, but also easy to cause riots in the territory. The surplus grain in the hands of the farmer will naturally not be sold to the territory so happily, but will be hoarded.

Therefore, the lord had to pay his own money to make up the difference in the price of grain.

The allies of the Shanhai Alliance also lit up the red light.

In late September, Ouyang Shuo injected capital into the branches of Sihai Qianzhuang once, which was regarded as an emergency in the rivers and lakes.

Mulan County and Black Lion County, which have just been promoted to county seats, are okay, with a small population, and they are barely able to make ends meet. Tianshuang Town, which is still in the third-level township, because the branch has just been established, has abundant funds, and it is also worry-free.

The most difficult ones are Luofeng County and Xunlong County. They still have to repay the loan to the Four Seas Money Village every month, and they are already poor, and it is really miserable to be tossed by the price of grain.

is also difficult, as well as the stubborn stone county. Sihai Qianzhuang did not set up a branch in Stubborn Rock County, and it is also very remarkable that it has relied entirely on its own strength to support it until now.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked Ouyang Shuo for help.

Ouyang Shuo no longer hesitated, and sold off the 60 million units of grain he had hoarded, deducting 10% of the transaction tax and loss, and withdrawing 161,000 gold coins at one time.

Coupled with Ouyang Shuo's original remaining funds, there were 177,000 gold coins in his storage bag.

Ouyang Shuo immediately made a decision to inject 40,000 gold coins into the headquarters of Sihai Qianzhuang, and injected 2,000 gold coins into five branches including Luofeng County Branch, with a total investment of 50,000 gold coins.

The headquarters of Sihai Money Bank was injected with 40,000 gold coins at one time, and it began to show the atmosphere of the Central Money Bank.

With the operation of the Four Seas Bank, the people's concept has gradually changed, and they are accustomed to depositing their surplus money in the bank, which not only preserves its value, but also has interest income, killing two birds with one stone.

According to Yingyu, in September, the deposits absorbed by Sihai Qian Zhuang reached 5,000 gold coins.

According to Ouyang Shuo's plan, this will be the last time he will inject capital into major branches. From now on, the allocation of funds of each branch will be responsible for the headquarters of Sihai Qianzhuang, and Ouyang Shuo will no longer intervene.

In addition, the Sihai Qianzhuang Yanshi County Branch was also successfully opened, with an initial reserve of 5,000 gold coins.

With such an operation, Ouyang Shuo still had 122,000 gold coins left in his hand.

According to Ouyang Shuo's plan, 100,000 gold coins were listed as unusable funds, which he had prepared for the annual auction in three months.

Compared with the first system auction, the annual auction will be even grander, and some rare treasures will also come out, and Ouyang Shuo naturally does not want to miss it.

If you want to make a difference in the annual auction, you must prepare more abundant funds. If it weren't for the food crisis, which drained the liquidity of other territories, Ouyang Shuo would have even reserved more funds in case of contingency. (To be continued.) )
