Ouyang Shuo did not let everyone wait for long. After announcing the structure of the internal affairs bureau and the chief candidate, he continued, "Appoint Shen Zhui as the chief of the Resource Reserve Bureau, and remove him from his position as the chief of the Salt Field Bureau."
Everyone was in an uproar. This was an unexpected appointment. Everyone's gaze towards Shen Zhui became unfathomable. Some were jealous, some were probing, but there was no congratulation.
Although Shen Zhui was prepared to bear the pressure, he still felt suffocated when faced with such a situation. Shen Zhui gradually calmed down as he recalled the conversation with Ouyang Shuo. He stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your promotion. I will not let you down!"
From today onwards, another big shot was born in Shanhai County's bureaucracy. Although this big shot was much dimmer than the other four, it was undeniable that Shen Zhui's promotion was an invisible encouragement to the others. Next, the government affairs meeting began to get on track. All the departments and bureaus reported. Everything was normal and there were no surprises.
After the government affairs meeting ended, it was already noon. The Lord's Residence naturally did not provide lunch, so everyone returned home.
Only the three chiefs of the subsidiary territories were left alone by Ouyang Shuo to have lunch in the Lord's Residence. Two days ago, the Lord's Residence's selection of maids had finally come to an end.
Two days ago, the Lord's Residence's selection of maids had finally come to an end.
Under Ying You's leadership, two maids were recruited. The senior maid, Zisu, and the junior maid, Banxia. The two of them were in charge of Ouyang Shuo's daily life. Zisu was also in charge of the servants in the backyard of the Lord's Residence.
According to Ying You, Zisu and Banxia were orphans and had no relatives in Shanhai County. Zisu was fine. She was about the same age as Ying You. She was steady and capable. Banxia was on the younger side, about the same age as Qing Er.
In fact, being Ouyang Shuo's maid was very easy. As he would go offline at night, he would not be in the backyard during the day. There were very few times when he needed to serve.
In the afternoon, Gu Xiuwen, Zhao Dexian, and Zhou Haichen walked into the Lord's office and started their routine report, introducing the development of their respective territories.
In the report, Zhao Dexian, the chief of Pool Town, mentioned that there were two main things to do. The first was to upgrade the simple irrigation facilities in the farmland, and the second was to start building the city walls.
Ouyang Shuo expressed his appreciation and agreed to let the Bank of the Four Seas provide a loan to Pool Town for the construction of these two basic projects. In terms of the size of the city walls, Ouyang Shuo made specific requirements. As a subsidiary territory, they would at most have two city walls in the future.
Therefore, the length of the first city wall of Pool Town was determined to be five kilometers, between the first and second city walls of Shanhai County.
As for the water infrastructure upgrade, it should be supported even more. The position of Pool Town was originally a food-producing base. Apart from continuing to open up new farmland, improving water conservancy facilities and increasing grain production per mu was the most fundamental solution. After all, no matter how much farmland there was, it would be useless without enough farmers to take care of it.
Zhao Dexian was indeed a village chief. He had a keen understanding of agriculture and had rich experience. At least at the level of a town, he would still be of great use.
The governor of Friendship Town, Zhou Haichen, focused on reporting on the trade with the Sky Abundant Tribe. The Friendship Town had already successfully completed their second trade with the Sky Rich Tribe, obtaining two hundred Green Beetle Horses.
After discussion, both parties agreed to build a fixed market near the moat to the north of Friendship Town. The establishment of the market meant that the Friendship Town could trade freely with the herdsmen, no longer limited to trading with the tribes. More importantly, as the reputation of the market increased, people from other tribes could also come to the market to trade with the Friendship Town.
Therefore, the establishment of the market meant that the trading window between the Friendship Town and the nomadic tribes had been opened. The goods traded by both parties were no longer limited to Green Beetle Horses. Sheep, fur and other goods could also be traded. If the market ran smoothly, then it would completely activate the vitality of the Friendship Town.
Finally, it was Gu Xiuwen's report from North Sea Town.
It had been a month since North Sea Town had been upgraded to a third-class town. In addition to the four thousand captives from the Gale Tribe, the population had been overflowing since the beginning.
Even so, North Sea Town still needed half a month to reach its full population of ten thousand.
As a port town, Gu Xiuwen mentioned that the fishermen had already formed a fishermen's association and started to work together to fish. The fishermen also started to divide the work among themselves. The men would go out to fish in groups, while the women would stay at home to marinate the fish and sell it in the market.
Other than the fishermen, the largest group in North Sea Town was the salt workers of the North Twilight Salt Works. According to Gu Xiuwen's plan, they were going to imitate the headquarters and build a settlement near the salt works, gradually moving the salt workers out of North Sea Town.
If North Sea Town wanted to become a port town, they had to get rid of the salt workers. The current population ratio of North Sea Town was extremely abnormal. More than half of them were salt workers.
Moreover, the salt workers themselves were willing to live in the settlement. Firstly, it was convenient, and secondly, they had more freedom. It wasn't as restrictive as living in a town.
However, on the issue of how to build the settlement, North Sea Town and the Salt Field Department had different opinions.
North Sea Town wanted to build five settlements around the North Twilight Salt Works. Each settlement would have a thousand salt workers, which was equivalent to a third-class village with a full population.
The Salt Field Department, on the other hand, suggested that they could only build two settlements at most. Both sides had their own opinions. In the end, it was Ouyang Shuo who made the final decision.
After the report, the three chief officials returned to their respective territories.
Ouyang Shuo returned to the backyard and prepared to go offline.
In the backyard, Zi Su was sewing clothes for Ouyang Shuo with Ban Xia. As it turned out, Zi Su was an Intermediate Tailor. She could sew clothes for daily use.
In fact, the clothes that Ouyang Shuo wore on formal occasions were all made by Qing 'er. This girl not only paid attention to her own clothes, but also took care of Ouyang Shuo and Ying You's clothes.
According to the little girl, as the big brother and sister of a Master Tailor, if the clothes they wore were too inferior, it would make her lose face.
After returning to his room, Ouyang Shuo went offline.
In the real world, Ouyang Shuo's anonymous post finally attracted the attention of some people. There were already players who replied to the post, saying that they just wanted to give it a try. According to the original poster's method, they really felt the existence of inner force in the real world. It was really too unexpected.
If there was a first, there would be a second. If it was only Ouyang Shuo who said so, everyone naturally wouldn't believe it. But now that there were other players who provided evidence, it had a certain degree of credibility.
Therefore, this post was dug out from the sea of posts and became a hot topic.
In these two days, the number of visits and replies to the post showed a blowout increase. There were constantly lucky players who replied to the post, claiming that they had successfully practiced inner force in the real world. Of course, there were definitely many scammers among them. They were just trying to attract attention.
Ouyang Shuo wasn't sure if the federal government was behind the post's continuous popularity.
What he could be sure of was that everything was developing in the direction that Ouyang Shuo expected. It even somewhat exceeded Ouyang Shuo's previous expectations.
The torpedo was finally detonated. The protests of the people became more and more intense. Like a storm, they rushed to the federal government.
The federal government finally no longer remained silent. The president's office announced that the federal president would make a televised speech on the 26th of May, which was this morning at 9 o 'clock, to answer the questions of the people.
After sending Bing 'er to school, Ouyang Shuo immediately returned home and prepared to watch the televised speech. Sun Xiaoyue didn't go to school today. She deliberately stayed at home. Due to her female intuition, she felt that a big change was about to happen.
The two of them sat on the sofa and turned on the television, ready to witness this important moment.
"Hey, what do you think the president will reveal about 'Earth On Le'? I keep feeling that something is wrong. I feel weird. "Sun Xiaoyue asked Ouyang Shuo before the broadcast.
Ouyang Shuo could already control his expression very well. He casually said, "How would I know? Anyway, it's about to start. We'll know later."
"You really don't know?" Sun Xiaoyue didn't give up.
"Of course I don't know." Ouyang Shuo even believed himself.
Sun Xiaoyue stared at Ouyang Shuo. From Ouyang Shuo's face, she couldn't see anything strange. In the end, she could only helplessly curl her lips. "You're getting better and better at pretending."
Sun Xiaoyue had long believed that Ouyang Shuo must know something. However, she didn't know how deep Ouyang Shuo's involvement was. Therefore, she often tested him.
Unfortunately, with Sun Xiaoyue's ability, she couldn't get anything out of Ouyang Shuo.
At 9 o 'clock in the morning, the federal president officially appeared on the television.
At the same time, among the one billion people in the world, at least half of them were watching this unusual televised speech through various methods.
"Hi everyone. Today, I'm going to announce an important piece of news. After you hear it, please don't panic. The federal government has already prepared a comprehensive plan to deal with any unexpected incidents.
"Twenty years ago, a team of scientists detected that Earth, which we rely on for survival, will completely explode in the year 2200, which is ten years later. The magma in the mantle will break through the crust, and Earth will become a planet of fire.
"Fortunately, there's always a way out. A new planet with life was captured by the Explorer interstellar probe. For this reason, the federal government has formulated a strict interstellar migration plan. 'Earth On Le' that everyone is concerned about is also part of the migration plan. The plan was thoroughly implemented over a period of 20 years. "
"The federal government has officially decided to start the interstellar migration on July 1, 2190. At that time, all citizens will board a spaceship and fly to the new Hope Planet. The specific details of the migration will be posted on the federal government's official website. Everyone, please cooperate with the federal government and make preparations. Goodbye!
