Chapter 219 Chess Pieces and Chess Players

After Tian Wenjing finished his report, Zhao Dewang, the director of the construction department, stood up and bowed to salute: "I would like to report to you, the construction department has completed the inspection of the caves in the territory that you ordered last time."

"Oh? Tell me!"

"Here!" Zhao Dewang began to report, "The south area, starting from the city wall of Shanhai County, extends to the edge of Yongye Forest after the logging camp felled. It is a total of 25 kilometers. The construction department checked one by one, and found drought at the foot of the rocky mountain There are eight caves and three karst caves. Among the dry caves, winemaking workshops, military factories, and Menghuo oil depots have already occupied three. Of the remaining five, small dry caves, that is, those with a height of no more than ten meters and a depth of no more than two kilometers There are three dry caves in total, and the other two are large dry caves."

After listening to Zhao Dewang's report, Ouyang Shuo suddenly realized something. In less than a year, a large area of ​​the edge of the Evernight Forest had been cut off by the logging camp, and the distance from Shanhai County was 25 kilometers away. up. According to this cutting speed, it is estimated that the Evernight Forest will be cut down in a few years.

If the Evernight Forest is really cut down, it will inevitably cause a lot of water and soil erosion, and it may cause floods in the Friendship River, which is a huge threat to Shanhai County, which is close at hand. In addition, if the territory is not protected by a forest, it will also trigger a series of natural disasters, such as sandstorms.

The climate system of "Earth Online" is very realistic, if not restrained, Ouyang Shuo's speculation will definitely become a reality.

After Zhao Dewang resigned, Ouyang Shuo called Shen Zhui, the director of the Material Reserve Department, "Director Shen, the Material Reserve Department must cut down the wood in the Yongye Forest in a planned and controlled manner, and stop implementing the Sanguang policy like it is now. , try to only cut down the uncle, leave all the small trees, and don't break the roots of the forest. In addition, it is strictly forbidden for the common people to cut down trees without permission. At the same time, the Material Reserve Department tries to lean towards Yushui County when scheduling timber supplies , where the timber resources are abundant, it will not be cut down completely.”

Although Shen Zhui was clever, he was an ancient person after all, so he couldn't understand Ouyang Shuo's modern environmental protection concept and sustainable development idea, so he had no choice but to agree and follow through.

Ouyang Shuo then looked at Yingyou and said, "Director Cui, the Finance Department should cooperate with the Audit Department to strengthen the supervision and inspection of the income and expenditure accounts of the major branches of the Four Seas Bank. It is best to arrange people to go to the branches every month to check Accounts. At the same time, cooperate with the merit examination department to conduct necessary assessments on the heads of each branch."

The Four Seas Bank is the core tool for Ouyang Shuo to realize his ambition, so Ouyang Shuo is naturally cautious. Mulan Town Sub-branch is alright, the person in charge, Yang Yun, is an old man from Shanhai County, who has won the trust of Ouyang Shuo. The people in charge who were stationed in Heishi Town, Xunlong County, and Luofeng County were all directly arranged by the Finance Department, and Ouyang Shuo didn't know the details. Therefore, through the government affairs meeting, Ouyang Shuo solemnly reminded Yingyou to show his importance.

"Here!" Yingyou is more concerned about the operation of the sub-branch than Ouyang Shuo. If something happens to the branch of the Four Seas Bank, she, the Director of Finance, will be the first to be involved.

After the routine report, Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the situation to end the government affairs meeting.

...

In the afternoon, my aunt Lin Jing came to Shanhai County again with the architectural drawings bought by Tiouyangshuo. This time she did not come alone, but with a small team of thirty people, all of whom were core members of Shang Xuemei.

Lin Jing's visit this time is only for the drawings, mainly to see the future niece Song Jia and niece Binger, and to fulfill the cooperation between Shangxue Meigui and Shanhai County.

With the Bow and Crossbow Division and Jiafang Division on the right track, the army of Shanhai County has changed a lot of equipment, and there is a backlog of a large number of weapons and equipment below the silver level in the arsenal, including bows and arrows, spears, swords, leather armor, etc. To keep the arsenal full, the Military Affairs Administration has to arrange for people to carry out routine maintenance on these equipment.

Some of this batch of equipment was captured during the suppression of the bandits, some was collected from the battlefield when the bandits attacked the city, and some was replaced by the original equipment given by the system when the soldiers changed jobs. The number is huge.

Ouyang Shuo thought, instead of letting this batch of equipment pile up in the arsenal, it would be better to entrust the Shangxue Meigui mercenary group to sell them to rookie players who have just entered the game. This group of players has been in the game for almost three months, and they have more or less saved a little money in their hands, so they can afford this batch of equipment. For the army of Shanhai County, it is already outdated equipment, but in the eyes of players, it is still high-end equipment, and the market is not worrying.

Ouyang Shuo informed his aunt of the cooperation intention through a letter, and the two hit it off right away, and that's how my aunt's trip to Shanhai County began. Because there were too many weapons and equipment, my aunt had to bring the 30 core players with the largest storage bag in the guild together to help her smuggle them together.

For the profit from selling equipment, Ouyang Shuo gave 20% of the profit to Shangxue Meigui's mercenary group, which means that the higher the price they sell, the higher the profit, which is equivalent to the dealers in the real world. And this is not a one-off deal, the weapons and equipment eliminated by Shanhai County will be distributed by the Shangxue Meigui Mercenary Group.

For the rest of the profit, Ouyang Shuo handed it over to Shangxue Meigui's mercenary group, and asked them to set up a small courtyard in each of the nine system king cities as Shanhai County's office to recruit talents for Shanhai County. In addition to recruiting lifestyle professional players, he is also responsible for recruiting unsatisfactory NPC talents in Wangcheng.

With the increasing popularity of Shanhai County's territory, Shanhai County has already gained some popularity among the NPC community, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the reputation has spread far and wide, so there is still a certain opportunity to recruit NPC talents.

In addition, as the battle continues to advance, more and more historical talents have joined the game process. The most likely places for these historical figures to appear are the royal cities of the major systems. Therefore, in order to recruit these talents, you must show your own brand, otherwise, even if others want to come, they will have no way.

Since the formation of the Yanhuang League and the hostility towards the Shanhai League, Ouyang Shuo has decided to change his low-key style of conduct, and instead began to use the popularity of Shanhai County to recruit talents.

The Chinese pay attention to the doctrine of the mean, not too much. Shanhai County was too conservative in the past, a bit closed to the outside world. Although it successfully created a mysterious image and helped Ouyang Shuo escape the disasters that may be encountered in reality, it also lost a lot of talents.

Nowadays, interstellar immigration, global online, not only personal safety and security, but also the world is undergoing a profound reshuffle, and the forces of all parties are ebb and flow. Since Ouyang Shuo wants to realize his ambition and make a difference in Hope Planet, he can no longer continue to hide behind the scenes like this. Instead, he must boldly go to the front of the stage, contact the player community confidently, and win their support.

In the previous life, Ouyang Shuo was betrayed by his brothers, but he couldn't be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of well ropes for ten years. Because he was betrayed, he would be wary of all players and completely distrust him.

Just think, wouldn't it be ridiculous if a chess player didn't even dare to touch the chess pieces? !

If this is the case, even with the advantage of rebirth, Ouyang Shuo still has the mentality of a small citizen, and he still hasn't really grown up, hasn't really gained experience, and will still hit a wall when he returns to reality.

Therefore, what Ouyang Shuo has to do is to learn from the lessons of his previous life, don't trust others easily, don't foolishly give up his back to others, don't expose his cards to others, and don't ignore The greedy side of human nature.

Players are chess pieces, walking on the chessboard according to Ouyang Shuo's will.

As long as Ouyang Shuo can improve his knowledge, he is not afraid of repeating the same mistakes. Greed is not terrible, what is terrible is greed that cannot be controlled and guided.

Many outstanding players in the game are actually very eager to settle in Shanhai County. Because the core positions of territories like Handan County have long been controlled by insiders, even if ordinary players go there, they cannot be trusted and reused. On the contrary, Shanhai County has a blank side, which is more conducive to them to display their talents.

The potential danger of recruiting talents is being infiltrated by spies.

Ouyang Shuo was not worried about being mixed up as a spy, so he took the opportunity to spy on Shanhai County. Because the military workshops and military factories in the caves in the Eastern District, as well as the Beimu Salt Field and the Wolf Mountain Mine are all out of the player's sight, belonging to the forbidden area, and are closely guarded, and ordinary players cannot enter at all.

The top military and political leaders in Shanhai County are still NPCs. Even with the five-foot and nine-dash line, they still do some specific work and do not belong to the management of Shanhai County.

Therefore, Shanhai County, which has already established a complete system, cannot be infiltrated if it wants to.

Ouyang Shuo brought his aunt and the others to the arsenal in Shanhai County. When the arsenal guard opened the gate, he saw that the inside was full of weapons and equipment neatly stacked, rows of longbows, piles of swords, bundles of The members of the Shangxue Rose Group were a little dizzy.

"Oh my god, Xiao Shuo, you are simply wasting everything. So many weapons and equipment are left unused. If players know, you must be called a prodigal." Aunt Lin Jing was dissatisfied with Ouyang Shuo's slowness.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, that was his aunt, what else could he say.

My aunt ordered the members to start counting the equipment, make a list, check it with the officials of the Military Affairs Bureau, and put it into the storage bag if it is correct. As for herself, she ran to the arsenal boutique area to choose equipment. Ouyang Shuo once said that Auntie would choose the equipment in the arsenal, and she would give one set away for free, so she would not waste it.

Lin Jing only stayed in Shanhai County for an afternoon, chatted with Song Jia for a while, and then returned to Jianye with more than half of Shanhai County's arsenal of weapons and equipment.
