After completing the class change, Ouyang Shuo left the camp. He didn't plan on interfering with the daily training of the archers, the patrolling of the territory, and the guarding of the Northfall Saltpans.
There was a famous general like Shi Wansui in the camp, a fierce young general like Lin Yi, and the squad leaders who were maturing day by day. He was at ease. What he needed to do was to delegate enough power to the squad leaders so that they could be trained and grow faster.
Of course, he wouldn't let go of the core power of appointing and firing people. This was the core of his influence over the troops. If he really let it go, it would be hard to say whether the army would still recognize him as a lord in the future.
This was the charm of the game. NPCs weren't rigid data. They had their own emotions. The higher the level of the NPC, the more intelligent they were.
Take Shi Wansui for example. As an emperor level character, his experience and knowledge in this virtual world even surpassed Ouyang Shuo, who was a player. Although he was restricted by the system rules and history, Shi Wansui wouldn't go against Ouyang Shuo's orders. But if Ouyang Shuo's actions were too ridiculous and he couldn't trust him. Then, he might not put in the effort to do things.
Their loyalty couldn't be summed up by the loyalty in the status pane. Although they wouldn't betray him, they would fight for power and profit.
On the other hand, it was because of this high degree of realism. The lord could use this platform to train himself. After all, the cost of making mistakes in the game was much lower than in reality.
Ouyang Shuo walked out of the camp and started thinking about what he should do next. Everything in the territory was operating in an orderly manner, and he was moving towards a level three village. The problem of funds that had troubled him in the past had been completely resolved in this operation to annihilate the Rogue Bandits.
At the thought of this, he recalled the few architectural blueprints in his storage pouch. There were a total of five blueprints in his storage pouch. They were the stable building blueprints, dojo building blueprints, medical building blueprints, tailor building blueprints, and weapon building blueprints.
Among them, the stable and weapon building blueprints were the basic buildings of a level three village. Ouyang Shuo looked at the construction conditions of the two buildings and regretfully realized that he could only build the stable.
[Stable]: A place to raise horses, also known as a stable. Construction Requirement: Stable blueprint, 200 units of wood, 50 units of stone. Construction time: One day.
[Weapon Workshop]: A comprehensive weapon and equipment workshop that can forge normal weapons and armor. Construction Requirements: Advanced Blacksmith, Weapon Workshop Construction Blueprint, 400 Wood Units, 200 Stone Units. Construction time: Two days.
The weapons workshop required high-level blacksmiths, which the Shanhai Village currently did not have. The only Blacksmith, Li Tiezhu, had only recently been promoted to an Intermediate Blacksmith. It would be difficult for him to become an Advanced Blacksmith again in a short period of time. Fortunately, there was still time. Ouyang Shuo looked forward to the day when he could directly obtain an Advanced Blacksmith.
Among the basic buildings of the level-2 village, he still lacked the blueprints for the ancestral hall and the private school. Now that he had money, Ouyang Shuo immediately rushed to the Basic Market and spent 10 Gold to buy the two blueprints. In this way, all the basic buildings of the second level village could be built, except for the private school which was still missing an Elementary Scholar.
In the past five days, the Construction Division had already completed the construction of the arrow towers, primary mines, and 15 residential courtyards.
He returned to the courtyard house and walked into the administrative office. It just so happened that the Deputy Director of the Construction Division, Zhao Dewang, was in the office. Ouyang Shuo gave him all the blueprints and ordered him to build the five buildings as soon as possible. In addition, he didn't forget to specifically tell Zhao Dewang to build a stable for Black Whirlwind next to the courtyard house.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo went to visit the two militiamen who were seriously injured yesterday. After Doctor Song's treatment, the two people were out of danger.
One of them was a young man, only 20 years old, called Song Yi. During the battle, two fingers on his left hand were cut off by the bandits, leaving him with a lifelong disability. When Ouyang Shuo went to see him, the little guy couldn't hold back and cried like a child.
The other one was a 30 years old middle-aged man, called Li Tie. His right eye was shot by a bandit's bow and was completely blind.
He was a real man. When Ouyang Shuo looked at him, his mood had already calmed down. His emotions had calmed down, and he could still talk and laugh with him. He said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Daren, even if I, Li Tie, only have one eye, I can still kill the enemy."
Ouyang Shuo's heart turned sour. "En, I believe you. However, you won't be going to the frontlines. Soon, when the territory rises to the level of a township, a special security team will be established. At that time, I will arrange for you and Song Yi to join the security team. Right now, your mission is to properly recuperate. After your injuries are healed, don't neglect your martial arts skills. I don't want to recruit you into the security team only to fail to catch a petty thief. "
Li Tie immediately said in a loud voice, "Don't worry, Daren. When the time comes, I definitely won't lose face for you, nor will I lose face for the militia. "
"En, I believe you. Properly recuperate, I won't disturb your rest. Remember my words, don't feel any psychological burden. I will remember your contributions in my heart. When the time is right, I will give you enough compensation. "
"Many thanks for your care, Daren." After Ouyang Shuo's consolation and his promise, the two people's hearts were as if they had taken a tranquilizer and completely calmed down.
When they returned to the lord's mansion, they saw two women chatting in the corridor of the courtyard's west wing.
"Big sister Gu, we've been here for a day. Daren didn't say how he would arrange for us, and we don't even know what he looks like. "The one speaking was a young and beautiful woman in her budding years. Although the material of the clothes she was wearing was ordinary linen, the workmanship was extremely exquisite, and it set off her temperament even more innocently.
"What's wrong, little girl?! I heard that our lord is a handsome young man. What other thoughts can you have?! "The other was a middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes without any makeup.
The young woman was immediately displeased by the other party's teasing and protested coquettishly, "Big sister, don't make fun of me. Although Qing 'er is young, she knows the principle of gratitude. Daren saved me from the hands of the bandits, and Qing 'er only feels grateful. I don't dare have any improper thoughts. "
"That's right. You don't know what kind of life I had in the bandit camp. It was simply unbearable. "The middle-aged woman was clearly deeply moved. "However, I've heard of it. The chief officer of our territory's Supplies Division, Sir Cui, used to wander in the wilderness just like us. Daren felt that her life was miserable, but he also cherished her talent. Not only did he regard her as his sworn sister, but he also entrusted her with important tasks. Sir Cui didn't disappoint Daren's trust and managed the Supplies Division in an orderly manner, winning everyone's respect. "
"Yes, Qing 'er has also heard of it. Big sister Cui is not only beautiful, but also very capable. Qing 'er admires her greatly. "The young woman was clearly still a young girl, and she worshipped Ying You like an idol.
"Hey, little girl, don't belittle yourself. Your talent in tailoring is something I've never heard of before. Shanhai Village is also a land of outstanding people. Little sister, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Sir Cui's. "The middle-aged woman was very knowledgeable.
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo stood at the entrance of the courtyard with an awkward expression. From their conversation, he had already guessed that the two people in front of him should be the high-class chef Gu Sanniang and the high-class tailor Mu Qingsi that Gu Xiuwen had told him about in the morning. Inadvertently overhearing the private conversation between two girls, he didn't know whether to enter or retreat.
"Ahem!" Ouyang Shuo deliberately coughed, and then leisurely walked into the courtyard.
"Ah!" Mu Qingsi's face immediately turned red when she turned her head and saw Ouyang Shuo. The middle-aged woman, on the other hand, was calm and composed. She asked with uncertainty, "Is Sir back?! This humble woman, Gu Sanniang, pays her respects to Sir! "
"It's me. I was busy earlier and neglected the two of you. Please forgive me. "
"This humble woman is terrified. I was fortunate enough to be saved by Sir. This humble woman can't thank you enough. " Gu Sanniang glanced at her new sister and saw that she had yet to regain her composure. She was standing to the side with a blushing face and was speechless. Gu Sanniang tugged at her sleeve.
Mu Qingsi wasn't a girl who was easily embarrassed, but the conversation with Gu Sanniang just now was too intimate. Suddenly, the main character of the conversation, Ouyang Shuo, appeared in front of her. Naturally, she was embarrassed. She didn't know when Sir had arrived and how much he had heard.
Her heart was restless, and she was also shy. When Ouyang Shuo opened his mouth to speak, she still hadn't adjusted her mood. When Gu Sanniang tugged at her sleeve, she reacted and hurriedly bowed. "This humble woman, Mu Qingsi, pays her respects to Sir!"
Ouyang Shuo naturally understood the situation and pretended not to see her embarrassment. He warmly said, "Miss Mu is well. Are you used to living here?"
"Many thanks for Sir's care. Everything is fine." Mu Qingsi began to stabilize her mood. "Qingsi thanks Sir for saving my life." She said this and was about to kneel down in front of Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo didn't allow this and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. He earnestly said, "Miss Mu, please don't do this. I can't bear to see you like this. I'm a few years older than Miss. If Miss doesn't mind, you can treat me like an older brother. "Towards this eighteen year old girl, Ouyang Shuo didn't think it was excessive.
Mu Qingsi's face instantly turned red. She thought that Ouyang Shuo had overheard their conversation and thus said this. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Qingsi's status is too low. I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes!"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand. "You're wrong. Among the villagers of our Shanhai Village, who hasn't had a rough past? However, as long as we join the Shanhai Village, we're one big family. There's no such thing as high or low status. Let bygones be bygones. Everyone in the Shanhai Village relies on their own abilities to fulfill their duties and earn their own living. Therefore, Miss shouldn't look down on yourself. If Miss doesn't agree, then I'll get angry. "Ouyang Shuo deliberately put on a stern face and looked at Mu Qingsi.
The little girl's eyes turned red when she heard Ouyang Shuo's words. She obediently called out, "Big Brother!"
Ouyang Shuo responded and happily said, "That's right. In the Shanhai Village, you don't need to have any psychological burden. Big Brother has been fascinated by your tailoring skills for a long time. "
After comforting Mu Qingsi, Ouyang Shuo turned to Gu Sanniang and said, "I've heard Xiu Wen praise Madam Gu's cooking skills. Madam will be in charge of the courtyard house's meals for now. When we build a restaurant in the future, we'll definitely ask Madam to cook. "
Gu Sanniang smiled. "Sanniang will follow Sir's arrangements!"
