Ouyang Shuo came to the primary market and clicked on the material trading platform. He checked the price first, and a piece of linen cost 10 silver coins, and a brocade horse cost 50 silver coins.

In this case, 42 pieces of linen and a piece of brocade make a total of 470 silver coins, which is less than 5 gold coins. This also reflects how strong the purchasing power of gold coins is.

When she came out of the wooden house, Yingyu had already brought someone from the Material Reserve Division to carry the cloth.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo cleaned up the beast fur in the storage bag. The most precious ones are, of course, the four 8-quality Boar King skins and the two 6-quality mutated boar skins.

In addition, there are 30 pieces of damaged beast fur with quality 1, 40 pieces of normal beast fur with quality 2, and 10 pieces of perfect beast fur with quality 4. He took all the furs out of the storage bag and gave them to Qing'er along with the cloth.

After dealing with the cloth, he was ready to go to the blacksmith to check on the progress of the arrows. The consumption of arrows was very fast, and the 1,000 arrows captured from the Liukou camp were distributed among each soldier of the crossbow cavalry, and only 20 arrows were apportioned. These arrows can only barely meet the daily training.

In order to deal with the impending monster attack, Ouyang Shuo had already instructed the blacksmith Li Tiezhu to make arrows with all his might a few days ago. When I walked into the blacksmith shop, it was in full swing.

Coincidentally, Zhang Daniu, the first fire commander of the cavalry, was bringing four soldiers to the blacksmith shop to carry the finished arrows. Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Zhang Daniu hurriedly saluted, "My lord! ”

"Well, how is it, after changing jobs, are you still adapting?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"Hehe, after the job change, everyone is happy, and all of a sudden the shotgun is replaced by a cannon. General Shi set strict training tasks for the cavalry team, and everyone was holding back their strength. ”

"That's good." Ouyang Shuo turned his head to look at Li Tiezhu on the side, "Master Li, it's been hard these days. How many arrows have been made? ”

"Back to my lord. Since receiving the task assigned by the adults, the blacksmith has built 1,500 arrows. At this rate, you can craft another 1,600 arrows before the monsters attack the city. ”

"Yes, it's quite efficient." Ouyang Shuo nodded with satisfaction, with these three thousand arrows, it was enough to deal with this monster siege. "Da Niu, after you go back to the barracks. Bring me a message to General Shi, and just say that I have read his defense plan, and it is very good. Let him follow the content of the defense plan and begin to prepare. ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'm relieved to see that the arrows are being made smoothly. Get busy! ”

When she returned to the Lord's Mansion, Gu Sanniang was already preparing lunch. Since this senior chef was stationed in the small courtyard, the food level of the small courtyard has directly improved by two or three grades. Therefore, as long as they are not entangled in something important, everyone living in the small courtyard will come back on time to eat.

The only exception is Shi Wansui. Since the establishment of the crossbow cavalry team, the general's enthusiasm for training has been thoroughly aroused. Since then, living in the same barracks with the soldiers, eating together, and returning to the courtyard has less and less time.

Here in Ouyang Shuo, there is no rule of not eating and sleeping. Taking the opportunity to eat, everyone sat together, but it was convenient to chat with each other about the work they were responsible for. Some cross-departmental communication and coordination, in many cases, are solved at the dinner table.

As soon as she ate two bites of food, Qing'er, the little girl, was restless, and said to him with a smile: "Big brother, you are too bad!" ”

Ouyang Shuo was puzzled by what she said, "What do you say?" I didn't bully you. The others also looked at Qingsi curiously, seeing what earth-shattering and shocking words this girl was about to say.

"Hmph, stinky big brother. Among the beast pelts you took out in the morning, there was a high-grade fur of quality 8. Big brother, you don't even say a word to Qing'er, just mix with those furs that only have one or two qualities. If Qing'er hadn't been careful, he would have thrown them together to the apprentices to practice. If that's the case, it's really a tyrannical thing! Big brother, you say it yourself, you are not bad, hum! Qing'er was obviously extremely proud, and said a lot of words.

Ouyang Shuo was a little embarrassed, this was indeed his own mistake, "I did forget to tell you at that time, but fortunately, our Qing'er has a discerning eye and a careful heart, so there is no irreparable mistake." Give credit to you! Of course, he knew what this little girl liked to hear, but he praised her vigorously.

Sure enough, Qing'er's eyes narrowed when Ouyang Shuo praised her, "Hehe, with such high-quality fur, Qing'er can sew high-grade leather armor for her eldest brother!" ”

"Great, then the big brother will thank Qing'er in advance!"

A lunch ended with such a frolick. In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo didn't go anywhere, and concentrated on staying in the office and reading. In the game, although there is no such thing as reading skills, when reading to a certain extent, it will increase the innate attribute comprehension value.

Therefore, since there is a bookshelf in the office, Ouyang Shuo likes to stay in the office and read books when he is fine. While passing the time, I also look forward to when I will be able to increase my understanding. Because the game is highly realistic, reading a book in a game is really the same as reading a book in reality. Read it word by word, not page by page.

On the 25th day of the first month of the first year of Gaia, it was sunny, and it was suitable for travel and planting, and it was forbidden to migrate and open the market.

In the council hall of the Lord's Mansion, the chief officials of all the divisions had arrived, and Ouyang Shuo began to preside over this week's deliberations, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one topic for today's deliberations, and that is how to deal with the monster siege operation in five days. First of all, I would like to ask General Shi to introduce the defense plan of the territory. ”

After Shi Wansui's introduction, he began to focus on the matters that need the cooperation of various divisions. "First, it is necessary for the household registration office to cooperate in the discovery of hunters. Laying out the trap defense chain is an important part of the whole plan. Therefore, hunters are needed to cooperate, especially hunters who are good at setting traps. ”

Gu Xiuwen stood up and said with a smile, "General Shi doesn't need to worry. I was about to report to you that there were two special talents among the displaced people who were brushed out today. One of them is an intermediate hunter. ”

Shi Wansui laughed when he heard this, "This is really timely rain, where is he now?" ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Why should General Shi be in such a hurry. It is naturally reassuring to repair the text and do things. Xiuwen, why don't you take this opportunity to introduce these two special talents to us? ”

"Okay. The hunter's name was Yang Chai, and he was a young man, only twenty-five years old. The other person is an old man, named Fan Jin, who is a showman. Gu Xiuwen said succinctly.

"Oh?! It's a double blessing. Ouyang Shuo didn't want to talk deeply, after all, the theme of this time was monster siege. He looked at Shi Wansui again, "General Shi, you go on." ”

Shi Wansui continued: "Since there are already hunters, I hope that the construction department will cooperate in the excavation of the traps. In addition, we will mark the edge of the trap, and we need to explain it clearly to the villagers, and pay attention to your feet when going out, so as not to miss the trap. ”

"Well, this does require attention. Xiuwen, you draw up a notice to explain the trap clearly and post it at the entrance of the village. Ouyang Shuo said to Gu Xiuwen.

"Yes!" This kind of thing, Gu Xiuwen naturally will not shirk. "In addition, there is another proposal from the subordinates. We can mobilize all the villagers and participate in the defense of the territory. I suggested that a batch of wooden javelins be made from the lumberyard. General Shi arranged for the cavalry team to organize javelin throwing training for the villagers. ”

I can't imagine that Gu Xiuwen, a scholar, still has such a military mind. Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly, "Yes, Xiuwen's idea is very good, I agree with it very much." ”

Shi Wansui also looked at Gu Xiuwen unexpectedly, "I also agree." ”

"There is no problem on the side of the Material Reserve Division. I estimate that in these five days, about 10,000 simple javelins can be made. Cui Yingyu responded.

"As for the construction department, now except for the private school, the other buildings have all been completed, and it is just right to cooperate with the hunter named Yang Chai to dig traps." Ouyang Shuo turned his head and said to Zhao Dewang.

Zhao Dewang also responded happily.

At this time, Zhao Dexian, director of the Department of Agricultural Reclamation, stood up and said solemnly: "My lord, I have something to say. ”

"Oh?! Director Zhao, please speak. ”

"My lord, I'm worried that when the monsters attack the city, will those beasts step over the farmland and trample the potatoes that have been planted?" Those potatoes were the hope of the territory, and he couldn't ignore them.

"That's a question, do you have any good solutions?"

Shi Wansui said with a big grin: "Don't worry, adults. The farmland is located on the edge of the Friendship River, on the edge of the territory. According to the general, the beasts should have pounced directly on the village, and did not wander around. So all we had to do was dig a trench at the edge of the field and sprinkle some animal droppings. The Admiral believed that the wild beasts would avoid the farmland. Even if there is an occasional fool who strays into the farmland, the damage caused will not be too great. It is completely remedy. ”

Zhao Dexian listened and laughed, "The general's method is very wonderful, and the trench dug will not be wasted, and it is just connected with the current irrigation system." Wonderful, wonderful! ”

Shi Wansui smiled, he didn't think about it that much, he just thought about it purely from the perspective of military defense.

Seeing that everyone was almost discussed, Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to end the discussion, "Regarding the matter of territorial defense, everyone has thought of a lot of good countermeasures. After coming down, I hope that everyone will perform their duties and actively prepare for the battle. In addition, Xiuwen, it just so happens that Dr. Song has moved to live in the hospital, so you can temporarily arrange Mr. Fan to live in the courtyard. ”

"Yes."
