After looking at the territory's attributes, Ouyang Shuo was in the mood to visit the Lord's Mansion, which had undergone a great change.
The size of the Lord's Mansion had expanded by more than three times, and it was comparable to the county government in ancient times.
After the upgrade, the Lord's Mansion still had two entrances. What was different was that there were three courtyards lined up in a row, forming a six-palace pattern.
Of the three courtyards in the front row, the one in the middle basically inherited the function of the front yard in the village. What was different was that, apart from the Council Hall and the Lord's office, the offices of the various departments had all been replaced with special offices for the Commissioner.
The suzerain's office was still close to the west of the council hall. The size of the office was twice as large as before. Not only was there a reception room, but there was also a small office at the front for the clerk.
On the west side of the council hall, other than the lord's office, there was only the finance director's office. On the east side of the meeting hall, there were three offices. Currently, only the administrative director and the director of the Material Reserve Division were working there. The last one was temporarily empty. As for the Director of Military Affairs, Ge Hongliang, he was still working in a special courtyard in the military zone.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a rock garden, a pavilion, and other ancillary facilities, making the entire courtyard look more stylish. The east and west sides became open corridors, connected to the side courtyards on both sides.
The courtyard to the west was where the offices of the various departments were located. There were a total of fifteen offices in the West Courtyard, including the wing rooms. Under the Administrative Office were the Merit Examination Department, the Household Registration Department, the Culture and Education Department, the Construction Department, and the Agriculture Department. Under the Finance Department were the Tax Department and the Commercial Department. Under the Supplies Department were the Salt Field Department, the Supplies Department, and the Chariot Department. Together with the Auditing Department, which operated independently.
As for the Disciplinary Department, they were outside, working together with the Public Order Division.
The courtyard on the east side was a drill ground, similar to the design of a military camp. The warehouse, the barracks, and the canteen were all available. This place would be the garrison of the Lord's Mansion's guards. They would be in charge of the Lord's Mansion's security 24/7.
The three courtyards at the back were still the residences of the lord and his relatives. Ouyang Shuo occupied the main courtyard in the middle, while the side courtyards on the east and west sides were prepared for the women.
The two sisters, Ying You and Qing 'er, were arranged by Ouyang Shuo to stay in the west side courtyard. In the past, the two sisters lived in the same courtyard as their big brother, Ouyang Shuo, because they didn't have the means to do so. In the end, there was still a difference between men and women. Now that he had the conditions, he naturally had to provide a separate courtyard for the sisters to live in.
As for why he didn't arrange for the two sisters to live in a side courtyard each, there were naturally other considerations.
Seeing that the storm in the real world was getting more and more intense, Ouyang Shuo predicted that the immigration plan might be brought forward. As such, the east side courtyard was specially prepared by Ouyang Shuo for Bing 'er.
Other than that, there was also a small garden at the back of the mansion. The three small courtyards at the back could all lead directly to the garden.
Of course, the layout of the garden was much more advanced than that of the courtyard. There were small bridges, pavilions, ponds, flowers, trees, fishes, birds, and everything else.
Due to the limited time, Ouyang Shuo did not take the tour seriously. He took a quick glance, bid farewell to Ying You and Qing 'er, then returned to his room and went offline.
When he was at home during the day, Ouyang Shuo was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the forum. One could imagine that the forum was definitely bustling with activity. However, such matters no longer piqued Ouyang Shuo's interest.
After the battle of Zhuolu, Ouyang Shuo placed his attention on the promotion of his territory. Now that his territory had been successfully promoted, he was considering if he should implement the plan he had previously thought of.
Ever since he obtained the Inner Canon of the Yellow Thearch, Ouyang Shuo's heart had been a little restless.
As mentioned before, the only way to reveal secrets about Earth to the public without being arrested by the Union Government for leaking state secrets was to make the so-called secrets reasonably deduced by the players through the game's behavior. Just like how Ouyang Shuo had suggested Song Jia's big brother to purchase the player's territory, this kind of behavior was legal.
Now, the wave caused by the purchase of the territory was on the verge of a full-blown explosion. What was missing was the last fuse.
And now, Ouyang Shuo held such a fuse in his hands.
If he anonymously revealed the news that the inner strength secret manuals in the game could be cultivated in the real world, it would definitely cause an uproar throughout the world.
Originally, even if a player obtained a genuine inner strength secret manual in the game, it would be very difficult to discover it in the real world. Firstly, if the secret manual's level was too low and the effects were not obvious, it would be very difficult for the player's body to show any abnormalities in the real world. Secondly, if no one pointed it out, the average player would not even think about it in this direction. For example, when Song Jia obtained the Yue Nu Swordplay Technique, she was only a little surprised and did not think much about it.
The only people who knew the truth were the ancient martial arts families in the real world. And they would never divulge this secret.
Therefore, even if Feng Qingyang established the Qingyang Sect and recruited disciples who learned the rudimentary chapter of the Emperor-level cultivation method, they would not think of cultivating it in the real world.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo did not dare to rule out the possibility that some lucky person might discover the secret of a genuine inner strength secret manual by chance. However, regardless of whether it was out of consideration for self-preservation or if they wanted to get rich quietly, in short, in the real world, there was still no relevant information that had been revealed.
To Ouyang Shuo, obtaining the Inner Canon of the Yellow Thearch was equivalent to grasping a sharp blade to counterattack. His secret manuals were obtained through normal means, and he also cultivated them step by step. Therefore, if he announced that he accidentally discovered the secret manual in the game could be cultivated in the real world, he would be exercising his legal rights as a citizen. Be it Gaia or the Federal Government, they would not be able to do anything to him.
Ouyang Shuo no longer hesitated. He turned on his optical computer and logged into the forum. He did not care about the miscellaneous gossip on the forum. Instead, he posted anonymously. He admitted that he accidentally discovered the secret manual in the game could be cultivated in the real world. He did not know if all this was just an illusion, but he hoped that other players could verify it and so on.
In any case, from the beginning to the end, Ouyang Shuo played the role of a lucky person in the post. He was excited and afraid, eager to share it with others.
After the post was posted, it was no different from dropping a torpedo.
Perhaps, it would not take effect immediately.
However, as long as players paid attention to the post and tried to cultivate the inner strength secret manual in the game in the real world according to the post's instructions. Then, this news would definitely not be hidden.
Once such a secret was exposed, the Federal Government would definitely not be able to hide the abnormalities of "Earth". It was imperative to start the immigration plan ahead of time. This way, it would be equivalent to cutting off Di Chen and the others' biggest advantage and trump card in advance.
This was a drastic move. It had to be said that it was very vicious.
As long as the immigration was carried out ahead of time, under the premise that Di Chen and the others did not have an advantage over Ouyang Shuo, everyone would be on the same starting line. Ouyang Shuo would have nothing to fear. It could be said that he was a fish in the sea and a bird in the sky.
The reason why Ouyang Shuo was confident that Gaia would not delete the post was because of the Federal Government's position.
According to the Federal Government's wishes, they did not want to hide the truth of "Earth" from the general public. The current situation was just a compromise that the Federal Government had to make in order to compete with the major forces. Now that there was a player who had a legitimate reason to reveal the inside story of the game, the Federal Government was of course happy to see it happen.
Who knew, Gaia might even help him cover up the real identity of the person who posted the post. This would reduce the risk of Ouyang Shuo being exposed to the lowest possible.
After posting the post, Ouyang Shuo logged out of the forum, turned off his optical computer, and began his routine cultivation.
The torpedo had been planted and would probably be detonated in a few days. In the game, Shanhai County was the number one county in the world and had established an absolute advantage. It could be said that the right time and the right place were all in place.
What Ouyang Shuo needed to consider now was the problem of how Shanhai County should develop in the future.
Advancing to the county level would be a whole new level. He definitely could not use the same methods that he used to manage villages to manage a county. To be honest, with Ouyang Shuo's ability, it was already a little difficult for him to control a county.
After all, Ouyang Shuo was only an adventure-type player in his previous life. He had never come into contact with the training of territory construction. All he knew was the filtered information that he had obtained from a third party.
In reality, Ouyang Shuo was only a university graduate. Whether it was social experience or personal ability, he was rather limited.
If not for the experience from his previous life and the Nirvana Rebirth after his rebirth, Ouyang Shuo really did not have the confidence to lead his subordinates in Shanhai County to the end.
Under the current situation, the only thing Ouyang Shuo could do was to put in more effort than others. On one hand, he would learn through practice, on the other hand, he would use the advantage of his rebirth to do everything possible to accumulate advantages in the early stages.
Other than that, being humble and eager to learn was a virtue that he had to have. Knowing people well and appointing them well was a skill that he had to master. Foresight and foresight were his trump cards for victory.
Ouyang Shuo had to use the advantage of being familiar with the development of the game to plan for the long term. This was the only way, even if his personal ability was limited, with the help of his subordinates, he could fight against Di Chen and the other veteran forces.
This was also the reason why Ouyang Shuo had repeatedly emphasized the need to continuously find and cultivate talented people. As the leader, he only needed to control the overall situation and steer the ship well. The rest would be carried out by his subordinates.
No one was born a genius. Even in the wilderness, great talents could be born. Just like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Many of the important officials around him were just like him in the beginning. (To be continued.)
