(PS: 200 monthly passes plus updates, and there are two more updates today.)
During dinner, Ouyang Shuo talked to Sun Xiaoyue about the game for the first time.
"Xiaoyue, you told me last time that you met a lot of life profession players in Dali?"
Sun Xiaoyue inexplicably looked at Ouyang Shuo and casually said, "Yeah."
"Are you interested in forming a guild?"
"Forming a guild? I can't do that. "Sun Xiaoyue was clearly not interested.
"What I mean is, you can form a guild made up of all life profession players. In this way, you can gather your friends together. You can open a guild channel so that you can communicate at any time. "Ouyang Shuo didn't want to give up and continued to tempt Sun Xiaoyue.
Sun Xiaoyue was a smart girl. Ouyang Shuo's intentions were obvious, and she wasn't stupid. She immediately realized that something was wrong. She stared at Ouyang Shuo and said playfully, "Big Tycoon, tell me, what are you planning?" She was shocked when Ouyang Shuo sent her 300 gold coins last time.
Ouyang Shuo also knew that he was being too impatient and looked a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he had become thicker after getting to know her. He said frankly, "I can't explain my plans in a short time. In short, I'll fund it, and you'll form a guild in Dali. It's a win-win situation, isn't it? "
Sun Xiaoyue glanced at Ouyang Shuo with an inexplicable expression. She actually didn't haggle and instead agreed very straightforwardly, making Ouyang Shuo baffled.
After dinner, Ouyang Shuo received a call from his aunt, Lin Jing.
Ever since she found out about Ouyang Shuo's real identity in the game, Lin Jing naturally paid special attention to Shanhai Town's every move. Last time, when Shanhai Town won the war map, Lin Jing resisted the urge to call. This time, Shanhai Town was promoted to the top county in the world. Lin Jing couldn't help but call to congratulate him.
"Good job, Shuo!"
"Thank you, aunt!"
"I really didn't expect you to achieve such results. I'll have to rely on you in the future. "
Ouyang Shuo smiled bitterly, "Aunt, don't tease me anymore." In order to divert his aunt's attention, Ouyang Shuo had to change the topic. "Oh right, aunt, I want to cooperate with your mercenary group. Are you interested?"
"Cooperate? What kind of cooperation? "
"I hope that the Snow Mourning Mercenary Group can set up a branch to recruit Lifestyle Players. The prerequisite is that we recruit Lifestyle players who are willing to settle down in a player's territory. "
Lin Jing's expression changed. "Shuo, are you trying to recruit Lifestyle players for your territory?"
"Not bad."
"This is a time-consuming and laborious task. Our mercenary group needs to be paid." Lin Jing instantly switched to the role of the Deputy Commander of the Shang Xue Mercenary Group and began to discuss business with her nephew.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, expressing his appreciation for his aunt's professionalism. He smiled and said, "Of course I won't let the Shangxue Mercenary Group work for nothing. You know that I have what you need the most."
Lin Jing's eyes lit up. She asked with uncertainty, "Weapons and equipment?"
"Not bad!"
"But, won't you be exposed?" Lin Jing said worriedly.
Ouyang Shuo felt warmth in his heart. In the end, they were blood relatives. The first thing he had to consider was the other party's safety. Ouyang Shuo let out a mysterious smile and said, "It's alright. It would take some time to establish such a branch. Who knew what would happen in the future? In short, you just need to know that I have the ability to pay. I think Xie Siyun will definitely support you. With the two of you making the decision, this cooperation can be achieved, right? "
Lin Jing looked at Ouyang Shuo with a strange expression. She nodded and said, "Alright, as long as you know what to do."
"Thank you, Aunt!"
"You don't need to be so polite with me. Besides, this is a win-win cooperation, isn't it?"
"Then, let's have a happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
The next day, Ouyang Shuo went online on time.
Ouyang Shuo walked out of his room. In the courtyard, Ying You and Qing 'er were packing their luggage with the maids Si Qin and Si Qi. From today onwards, the two sisters would move into the west courtyard.
Ying You put down the luggage in her hand when she saw Ouyang Shuo. She walked forward and said with concern, "Big Brother, Qing 'er and I are moving to the west courtyard. You're the only one left in the main courtyard. It's too cold. In my opinion, it's better to recruit some maids. You're now the County Lord, so you can't be as casual as before. Outsiders will laugh at you if you don't even have someone to serve you. "
Ouyang Shuo was startled. He immediately nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, Ying You. How about this, Big Brother will let you handle the matter of recruiting maids. "
Ying You immediately gave Ouyang Shuo a dirty look and said with dissatisfaction, "Big Brother, you're really easy."
Recruiting maids for Ouyang Shuo could be a big or small matter. As the Lord of the mansion, Ouyang Shuo's maids were naturally the big sisters among the maids in the backyard. Their status was higher than Si Qin and Si Qi's. Hence, it wasn't an easy task to grasp the situation.
Of course, it wasn't a difficult matter for Cui Yingyou, who was born in a big family. Ouyang Shuo might have said it casually, but he had already considered it thoroughly.
Ouyang Shuo ignored Ying You's teasing and asked curiously, "You 'er, don't you want to give the courtyard you live in a name? West courtyard, West courtyard, it's too hard to pronounce. "
Before Ying You could say anything, Qing 'er jumped over and said with a smile, "Big Brother, we've already thought of a name. We'll call it Qingying Courtyard. What do you think? It's a good name, right? "
"Qingying Courtyard? Not bad! " Ouyang Shuo pondered for a moment and understood that it was a combination of the two's names. What's more, Qingying was a homonym for "friendship", symbolizing the relationship between the two sisters. It was really not bad.
"Hee hee!" Qing 'er seemed somewhat proud.
Ouyang Shuo didn't stay in the backyard and walked towards the front courtyard.
The front courtyard was also busy. The government officials of the various departments were busy moving their office supplies and documents to the side courtyard on the left.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing walked over hand in hand and said with a smile, "The Lord's mansion has changed greatly. It's really a sign of prosperity."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and remembered the name of the backyard, Qingying Courtyard. It seemed that the front courtyard also had to have a name. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to call it. He told this idea to the two of them and naturally received unanimous approval.
Ouyang Shuo knew that his literary talent was limited and didn't want to embarrass himself. He said, "I'll have to trouble the two of you to name it."
Tian Wenjing's expression changed. He took the lead and said, "During the Ming Dynasty, there were two halls in the palace, one for literature and one for martial. They complemented each other. Now, there are two side courtyards in our mansion, one for literature and the other for martial. Why don't we call them Literature Courtyard and Martial Courtyard? "
If it was in real history, such a name would naturally be rebellious. But this was a game. The main map didn't have a unified dynasty.
Ouyang Shuo was satisfied with the name. He looked at Fan Zhongyan and asked, "What do you think, Mister?"
Although Fan Zhongyan felt that it was unstylish to steal the name of the predecessors, Tian Wenjing's words still made sense. It also coincided with the Lord's ambition. Hence, he didn't object and nodded in agreement.
After deciding on the name of the courtyard, the next step was to arrange for people to carve a plaque. Of course, Ouyang Shuo, the Lord, didn't need to worry about this. The people under him would take care of it.
Ouyang Shuo walked out of the Lord's mansion and headed towards the military camp. What he was most concerned about was the situation of the captives from yesterday and the casualties of the Shanhai Town army.
In the military camp, the cavalry camp, Pool Town's Garrison Camp, and the other reinforcements were still stationed there. They didn't leave immediately.
Before Ouyang Shuo left yesterday, he had already informed the Military Affairs Office's Ge Hongliang that he would be holding a temporary military meeting this morning to discuss the reorganization of the army.
In the military camp's meeting hall, the commanders of the various camps gathered.
Ouyang Shuo sat at the seat of honor. He looked at Ge Hongliang, who sat at the head of the left row, and said, "Commander Ge, please report on the captives and the casualties of our army."
After Ge Hongliang stood up and bowed, he started reporting, "Before introducing the captives, I will first report on the casualties of our army. The North Sea Fleet's First Camp lost fifty men; the cavalry camp lost fifty men; the Pool Town's City Defense Camp lost a hundred men, including fifty cavalrymen and fifty saber and shield soldiers; the Shanhai Town's City Defense Camp lost a hundred men, including fifty archers and fifty saber and shield soldiers; the two infantry camps lost a total of a hundred and fifty men; and the Divine Arms Camp lost ten men. Aside from that, the militia lost a hundred men. In total, we lost a total of 560 men. This can be considered a heavy loss. "
Ge Hongliang paused for a while, waiting for everyone to digest the information. Then, he continued, "In this battle, we recruited a total of three thousand captives. Among them, there are three hundred pirates, seven hundred cavalrymen, one thousand ordinary bandits, and one thousand elite bandits. Among the two thousand bandits, there are one thousand infantrymen and one thousand archers. "
After Ge Hongliang finished his report, he returned to his seat.
Ouyang Shuo's expression did not change. He continued asking, "What about the Military Affairs Office's reorganization plan?"
Shi Wansui and the other commanders looked at Ge Hongliang. This concerned everyone's interests. Naturally, they were very concerned about it. Some of the battalions had suffered heavy losses and were in urgent need of fresh blood.
Ge Hongliang had been the Military Affairs Office's Commander for some time already. However, he still felt a little scared when these generals stared at him. Fortunately, he had the feudal lord's support. Otherwise, he would not be able to suppress these generals.
"The Military Affairs Office intends to give priority to replenishing the soldiers who died in the various battalions. The remaining captives can be used to form a cavalry camp and three infantry camps. As for the specific arrangements, I'll have to leave it to my lord to decide. "
Ge Hongliang beat around the bush and did not propose a specific reorganization plan.
Ouyang Shuo frowned. He could also tell that Ge Hongliang did not have much confidence in being the Military Affairs Office's Commander. It looked like if there was an opportunity in the future, he would have to find a famous historical figure to oversee the Military Affairs Office. (To be continued.)
