After reviewing the three master groups that had just been formed, Ouyang Shuo would embark on the road back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this point, the military and political affairs of Leizhou County have all been smoothed out, and Ouyang Shuo is no longer needed to take charge in person.

The next day, Ouyang Shuo left Leishan City and returned to Shanhai City by warship from Heitu Harbor.

The Black Earth Harbor was the port where the Praetorian Guard Division first landed. Compared to a month ago, it has become a huge construction site, and it looks very lively.

In the future, it will be built into a mega port, connecting the North Seaport and connecting the two counties. The sea channel between Beihai Port and Heitu Port is also an important passage for the Lianzhou Hou Government to control Leizhou County.

Although Leizhou County is isolated outside the territory, with this sea lane, it is very convenient for the two places to travel. Even an ordinary merchant ship can arrive in only four days.

At the same time, Hai'an City and Yanluo City will also build a port respectively. The port of Hai'an City was mainly used to connect Leizhou County and the future Qiongzhou County.

The port of Yanluocheng is connected to Jiaozhou County in Lingnan, and even Quanzhou, the royal city.

With the establishment of Leizhou County, the construction of the maritime trade channel of Shanhailing is entering a period of rapid development. Limited to the geographical characteristics of Lianzhou County, maritime trade will also be the most important external liaison window of Shanhai City.

**********

On July 9, Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City.

He was accompanied by the Praetorian Guard Division and the four Administrators.

Leizhou County has a complete structure, and the four directors are naturally going to retire successfully. After leaving Shanhai City for a month, the backlog of government affairs in the Hou Mansion was enough for them to have a headache.

After returning to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo began to carry out a major reform of the structure of the territory.

What followed was naturally a series of personnel appointments and dismissals.

With the establishment of Leizhou County, plus the predictable Qiongzhou County and Zhaoqing County. Ouyang Shuo believes that the time is ripe for upgrading to the Hou Mansion of Lianzhou.

The first one is to formally establish the Lianzhou County Yamen and separate it from the Lianzhou Hou Mansion. Wei Ran lived up to expectations and was appointed by Ouyang Shuo as the county guard of Lianzhou County.

The county seat of Lianzhou County was selected in the city of Shen, which is still under construction.

As the future capital, Shanhai City took this opportunity to officially separate from Lianzhou County and occupy a special position in the territory as an independent administrative division.

There are two reasons why the county seat of Lianzhou County was located in the city of Shenyang.

First, the city of gods is located in the center of Lianzhou County, radiating from all directions.

Second, with the status of the county governor, it promotes the development of the city in disguise.

Wei Ran moved to the right of the county guard and left Shanhai City, which not only helped to eliminate the gossip between him and Bai Qi in the territory, but also a boon to the development of Lianzhou County.

After the official establishment of Lianzhou County, the Lianzhou County Garrison Division will also be formed, which will be responsible for the daily defense of Lianzhou County. As for the current city guard division, it is only responsible for the defense of Shanhai City.

The establishment of the Lianzhou County Garrison Division is equivalent to the complete liberation of the Longxiang Army. The First Division of the Longxiang Regiment, which was originally responsible for the defense of Lianzhou County, will be stationed in Mulan Fortress after handing over the defense.

The soldiers of the garrison division, Ouyang Shuo aimed at the future prisoners of war in Zhaoqing County.

Therefore, it will not be until Zhaoqing County is captured that the Lianzhou County Garrison Division will be formally formed. The candidate for the division commander of the garrison division, Ouyang Shuo selected Hu Yibiao.

Hu Yibiao previously served as the brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Third Division of the Longxiang Regiment, and like Zhao Yan, he was also a fierce general on the battlefield and a veteran trained by Shanhai City.

Although this group of veterans is not qualified for the post of division commander of the field army, it is still enough to serve as the division commander of the garrison division. This is also Ouyang Shuo's last care for this group of veterans.

After Shanhai City was listed separately, its chief executive set up an official name [Shanhai Order].

In the first [Shanhai Order], Ouyang Shuo selected Zang Wenzhong, the prefect of the Broken Blade Mansion, who had just taken office.

Zang Wenzhong's enlightened governing ideas and his identity as an outsider are the main reasons why he stands out.

Gushan County ordered Lei Fan, succeeded Zang Wenzhong, and moved to the right to the prefect of Broken Blade Mansion.

Lei Fan has always been an official that Ouyang Shuo values very much, and in the Battle of Lianzhou, he showed outstanding talent, and taking this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo naturally wanted to promote him.

At the same time, Ouyang Shuo officially appointed Tian Wenjing as the county guard of Qiongzhou County.

At this point, the Lianzhou Marquis officially commanded the land of the three counties.

In the future, there will be more counties that will be included in the rule of the Lianzhou Marquis. As for whether or not to add a structure above the county level, I am afraid that it will be several years before a conclusion can be reached.

At present, the biggest problem lies in the rule of the Lianzhou Marquis over the territories, which is somewhat unjustifiable.

According to the setting of the game, the territory of the Marquis of Lianzhou should be limited to 50,000 square kilometers limited to the first-class county town. However, the area of territory actually ruled by the Shanhai Territory was fifteen or sixteen times the limit.

In their previous life, Emperor Chen and they also encountered the same problem.

The only solution was to ask the court for an official position, such as a governor, a jiedu envoy, or a protector. Then, in the name of the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, or the Governor's Office, the actual occupied territory was exercised.

Undoubtedly, Ouyang Shuo needs such an official position now.

Such an important official position, of course, is not free.

One of the conditions is to pay tribute to the imperial court every year, also known as annual offerings. Not only that, if there is no certain reputation, even if the lord wants to pay tribute, the court will not accept it, or not.

The imperial court selected by Ouyang Shuo is naturally the Dali imperial court.

After all, his title of Marquis of Lianzhou was enshrined by the Dali Imperial Court, which can be regarded as having some origins.

After the decision, Ouyang Shuo had to select an envoy to go to Dali instead of him, meet the emperor of the current dynasty, explain the reason, and seek an official position.

According to Ouyang Shuo's meaning, the ideal official position is the protector of southern Xinjiang, and then the establishment of the protectorate of southern Xinjiang.

I have to say, his appetite is too big.

"Du" is all, "protect" is the guardianship of the troops, and "Duhu" is the meaning of "chief protect", which is the highest commander of a domain. The Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protector is the general guardianship of the southern region.

Southern Xinjiang, the area it contains is very large.

Ouyang Shuo's intention was naturally to do it in one step, and before the official establishment of the country, he had always used the structure of the "Southern Xinjiang Protectorate", so as not to change it frequently and cause chaos in government affairs.

In the previous life, Emperor Chen and them all first sought the position of the Jiedu envoy in a region, such as the Xuanhua Jiedu Envoy, Jingzhou Jiedu Envoy, etc., first set up the Jiedu Envoy, and then slowly promoted step by step.

Where is like Ouyang Shuo, who wants to ascend to the sky directly in one step.

The Dali court alone may not have the right to grant this position, and it must be agreed by the Quanzhou court, which is also located in the south, for this appointment to pass Gaia's approval.

This makes it even harder.

Fortunately, Shanhai City and Quanzhou Imperial Court still have a bit of incense. Especially with the help of the bridge of Mazu, the connection between the two cities has become closer and closer. Even the plaque of the Mazu Temple was given by the Quanzhou Imperial Court.

And this is also the source of Ouyang Shuo's confidence.

Without these favorable factors, Ouyang Shuo would not have made such delusions at all.

The next step is to finalize the selection of envoys.

Unlike the great powers of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the competition of lords in the wilderness is either one or the other, and the ultimate goal is to destroy each other.

As a result, the role of diplomatic envoys in the realm is not as important as it has historically been. Shanhai City Mo said that if a special department is set up, even a professional envoy cannot be found.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo had a headache.

In desperation, he had no choice but to consult the four directors.

"Who do you think can be an envoy?"

The four directors looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Needless to say, Finance Minister Cui Yingyu is okay in the territory, with Ouyang Shuo's protection, no one dares to say anything. But if you want to send an envoy to the imperial court, it is estimated that you will not even be able to see the face of the emperor.

Director of Administration, Fan Chung Yan? No way.

Fan Gonggang is upright, if it is an equal envoy, if he wants to show the majesty of the territory, he is naturally the right person. But this trip is to go to private activities and seek official positions, and Fan Gong naturally can't do this kind of work.

The rest are only Du Ruhui and Wei Ying.

There was no way, Ouyang Shuo made a decision directly, and Du Ruhui and Cui Yingyu sent Dali.

As the main envoy, Du Ruhui is mainly responsible for meeting the emperor, stating the reasons, and coordinating the relationship. Yingyu was the deputy envoy, using Cui's influence in Dali to move around.

Wei Ying and Jing Jian were sent to Quanzhou.

Ouyang Shuo knew that Jing Jian had also been an envoy in the Qin State before, and he had some experience.

After selecting the envoys, the next step is to prepare the gift list.

In addition to the greeting gifts prepared for the ministers, the most important thing is to draw up the annual offering.

In order to win the position of "Southern Xinjiang Protector", Ouyang Shuo also made a bloody investment this time.

He personally planned that Shanhai City would offer 20,000 gold coins, 10,000 pieces of colored silk, 100 catties of Baihao tea, 100 strings of pearls, and 2,000 jars of Sanhua wine to the two imperial courts of Dali and Quanzhou every year.

The total value of the tribute materials added together exceeded 100,000 gold coins.

Ouyang Shuo knew that only these territorial specialties could touch the heart of the emperor of the current dynasty. It's better not to take out ordinary mundane things and embarrass them.

With such a big spending, among the global lords, Ouyang Shuo can only take it at this stage.

As soon as the words ended, the four directors all gasped.

Fortunately, all four of them are very human, and all of them have far-reaching vision. When Ouyang Shuo proposed the idea of forming a southern Xinjiang capital protectorate, the four of them were all dazzled and immediately understood its significance to the territory.

It can be said that if you really want to succeed, it will be a landmark event for the development of Shanhailing.

Compared with the occupation of Leizhou County, it is not far behind.

Du Ruhui and Wei Ying, both of them, lined up together, bowed, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Weichen's trip will definitely live up to the trust of the monarch!" ”

Indeed, with such a large annual endowment as a basis, the odds of success are very high.

It is precisely because of this that the two appear to be full of confidence.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and didn't say anything.

The next day, two teams of envoys set out with gifts and gift lists. (To be continued.) )
