Ouyang Shuo arrived at the primary market and opened the material trading platform. He first checked the prices. One bolt of linen was sold for 10 silver coins, and one bolt of brocade was sold for 50 silver coins.
In this case, 42 bolts of linen and one bolt of brocade were sold for a total of 470 silver coins, which was less than 5 gold coins. This also showed how powerful the purchasing power of gold coins was.
When he came out of the wooden house, Ying You had already brought the people from the Supplies Division to move the bolts of cloth.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo sorted out the wild beast furs in his storage pouch. The most precious ones were of course the four quality 8 wild boar king furs and two quality 6 mutated wild boar furs.
In addition, there were 30 damaged wild beast furs with quality 1, 40 normal wild beast furs with quality 2, and 10 perfect wild beast furs with quality 4. He took out all the furs from his storage pouch and gave them to Qing 'er together with the bolts of cloth.
After dealing with the cloth, he prepared to go to the blacksmith shop to check on the progress of the arrow production. The consumption of arrows was very fast. Previously, they had seized 10,000 arrows from the bandit camp, but after distributing them to each soldier, there were only 20 arrows left. These arrows could barely satisfy the daily training.
In order to deal with the upcoming monster attack, Ouyang Shuo had already ordered the blacksmith, Li Tiezhu, to rush the production of arrows a few days ago. When he walked into the blacksmith shop, it was in full swing.
Coincidentally, the squad leader of the First Fire, Zhang Da Niu, was bringing four soldiers to the blacksmith shop to move the forged arrows. Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Zhang Da Niu hurriedly saluted. "Sir!"
"En, how is it? Are you all used to the job change?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Hehe, after the job change, everyone is very happy. We have changed our guns into cannons. General Shi has set a strict training mission for the cavalry, so everyone is holding back. "
"That's good." Ouyang Shuo turned to look at Li Tiezhu. "Master Li, you have worked hard these few days. How many arrows have been made? "
"Sir. Since we received the mission, the blacksmith shop has already made 1,500 arrows. According to this progress, we can still make another 160 arrows before the monster attack. "
"Not bad, the efficiency is quite high." Ouyang Shuo nodded his head in satisfaction. With these 3,000 arrows, it would be more than enough to deal with the monster attack this time. "Daniu, after you return to the barracks, I'll tell you everything. Tell General Shi that I've seen his defense plan and that it's very good. Tell him to start preparing according to the defense plan. "
"Yes!"
"Alright, I'm relieved to see that the production of the arrows went smoothly. You guys go back to work! "
When he returned to the Lord's Mansion, Gu Sanniang was already preparing lunch. Ever since this high-class chef entered the small courtyard, the standard of food in the small courtyard had directly risen by two or three levels. Therefore, as long as they weren't tied down by something important, the people living in the small courtyard would come back on time to eat.
The only exception was Shi Wansui. Ever since the formation of the crossbow cavalry, this general's passion for training soldiers had been thoroughly stimulated. From then on, he lived with the soldiers in the barracks, ate with them, and spent less and less time returning to his courtyard.
At Ouyang Shuo's place, there was no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Taking the opportunity to eat, everyone sat together, and it was convenient for them to talk about the work they were responsible for. Many times, cross-departmental communication and coordination were settled at the dining table.
After eating two mouthfuls of food, Qing 'er became restless. She giggled and said to him, "Big Brother, you're too bad!"
Ouyang Shuo was baffled by her words and had a puzzled expression on his face. "What do you mean? I didn't bully you. " The others also looked at Qing 'er curiously, waiting to see what kind of earth-shattering words this girl was going to say.
"Hmph, smelly Big Brother. Among the wild beast pelts you took out this morning, there was actually a high-quality pelt with a grade of 8. Big Brother, you didn't even tell Qing 'er about it and mixed it with those pelts that only had a grade of 1 or 2. If it wasn't for Qing 'er's attentiveness, she would have thrown them to the apprentices to practice. If that was really the case, it would really be a reckless waste of God's resources! Big Brother, tell me, aren't you bad? Hmph! "Qing 'er was obviously very proud of herself and said a lot of things.
Ouyang Shuo was a little embarrassed. This was indeed his mistake. "At that time, I indeed forgot to tell you. Fortunately, our family's Qing 'er is perceptive and meticulous, so we didn't make an irreparable mistake. This is a merit! "He obviously knew what this girl liked to hear and praised her with all his might.
Sure enough, Qing 'er's eyes narrowed from Ouyang Shuo's praise. "Hehe, with such high-quality pelts, Qing' er can sew high-level leather armor for Big Brother!"
"Great, then Big Brother will thank Qing 'er in advance!"
The lunch ended in this kind of laughter. In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo didn't go anywhere and stayed in the office to read. In the game, although there was no such thing as a reading skill, when reading to a certain extent, it would increase the innate attribute of comprehension.
Therefore, ever since the office had a bookshelf, Ouyang Shuo liked to stay in the office to read when he had nothing to do. While he was playing time, he also looked forward to when he could increase his comprehension. Because of the high degree of realism in the game, reading in the game was really the same as reading in reality. He had to read it carefully, word by word, and not just casually flip through page after page, putting on an act.
Gaia Year 1 January 25, sunny, suitable for travel and planting, avoid migration and opening the market.
In the Lord's Mansion's meeting hall, all the officers had arrived. Ouyang Shuo began to preside over this week's meeting. "Everyone, there is only one topic for today's meeting, and that is how to deal with the monsters' attack in five days. First, General Shi, please introduce the territory's defense plan. "
After Shi Wansui finished his introduction, he began to focus on the matters that required the cooperation of the various departments. "First, we need the cooperation of the Census Bureau and the Hunters. In the entire plan, setting up a defensive chain of traps is a very important part. Therefore, we need the cooperation of the Hunters, especially the Hunters who are good at setting up traps. "
Gu Xiuwen stood up and said with a smile, "General Shi, don't worry. I was just about to report to the Lord that there were two special talents among the refugees that spawned today. One of them is an Intermediate Hunter. "
Shi Wansui laughed when he heard this. "This is really timely. Where is he now?"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand. "General Shi, there's no need to be so anxious. Xiuwen's handling of matters is naturally reassuring. Xiuwen, why don't you take this opportunity to introduce these two special talents to us? "
"Alright. The Hunter's name is Yang Zhui. He's a young man, only 25 years old. The other person is an old man called Fan Jin. He's a scholar. "Gu Xiuwen said concisely.
"Oh?! This is double happiness. "Ouyang Shuo didn't want to go into detail. After all, the theme this time was the monsters' attack. He looked at Shi Wansui again. "General Shi, please continue."
Shi Wansui continued, "Since there are already Hunters, I hope that the Construction Bureau will cooperate with us in digging up the traps. Also, we will mark the edges of the traps. We need to inform the villagers to pay attention to their steps when they go out and not fall into the traps. "
"Yes, we do need to pay attention to this. Xiuwen, draw up a notice explaining the traps clearly and post it at the village entrance. "Ouyang Shuo said to Gu Xiuwen.
"Yes!" Gu Xiuwen naturally wouldn't decline this kind of task. "Also, I have a suggestion. We can mobilize all the villagers and have them participate in the territory's defense. I suggest that the lumberyard produce a batch of wooden javelins as soon as possible. General Shi can arrange for the cavalry to organize javelin throwing training for the villagers. "
He didn't expect a scholar like Gu Xiuwen to have such a military mind. Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly. "Not bad, Xiuwen's idea is good. I agree."
Shi Wansui looked at Gu Xiuwen in surprise. "I agree too."
"The Supplies Bureau has no problem too. I estimate that we can produce about ten thousand simple javelins in the next five days, "Cui Yingyou replied.
"As for the Construction Bureau, other than the private school, all the other buildings have been completed. We can cooperate with the Hunter called Yang Zhui to dig the traps," Ouyang Shuo said to Zhao Dewang.
Zhao Dewang agreed readily as well.
At this time, the Director-General Zhao Dexian stood up and said solemnly, "Sir, I have something to say."
"Oh?! Director-General Zhao, please speak. "
"Sir, I'm worried that when the monsters attack the city, the wild beasts will trample on the planted potatoes." The potatoes were the territory's hope, he couldn't ignore it.
"That's a problem. Does anyone have any good ideas?"
Shi Wansui said casually, "Sir, don't worry. The farmland is located by the Friendship River and belongs to the border of the territory. According to my speculation, the wild beasts will rush directly to the village and won't wander around. Therefore, we just need to dig a trench at the edge of the farmland and scatter some animal dung. I believe that the wild beasts will avoid the farmland. Even if there are some idiots who accidentally enter the farmland, the damage won't be too great. We can definitely fix it. "
Zhao Dexian heard and laughed. "General, this is a great idea. The trench we dig will not be wasted and will be connected to the irrigation system. Wonderful, wonderful! "
Shi Wansui chuckled. He didn't think too much and only thought about it from the perspective of military defense.
Seeing that everyone was almost done with their discussion, Ouyang Shuo ended the meeting. "Regarding the territory's defense, everyone has thought of many good countermeasures. After coming down, I hope that everyone will carry out their duties and actively prepare for war. Also, Xiuwen, it just so happens that Doctor Song has moved to the medical center. Arrange for Old Mister Fan to live in the courtyard house temporarily. "
"Yes."
