After the chess game ended, the atmosphere in the private room changed. The White Snake's heart tightened. It knew that the critical moment had come.
"The famous scholars of Legalism pay particular attention to practicing what they preach. Why do you say that, sir?"
Ouyang Shuo was the first to attack, secretly mocking Wei Yang for abandoning himself to such a degenerate state.
"In the end, the method of implementation will be for naught, like a dream. What do you think?"
Wei Yang's expression was lonely, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
"Mister, you are mistaken. Mister's method laid the foundation for the unification of the world. How could it be for naught? "
Ouyang Shuo was not lying. Wei Yang could be called the first true reformer in China's history. Shang Yang's reform did not only affect the Qin Kingdom, nor was it limited to that time. It affected China for thousands of years.
"The great Great Qin is but a second life. How could it not be for naught?"
After entering the wilderness, Wei Yang had a clear understanding of China's 5,000 years of history, which was why he was in so much pain.
Wei Yang was an idealist with the sincerity and passion of a religious man. He carried out reforms in the Qin Kingdom and promoted legalism. Even though he died under the laws of Qin that he had set up, he had no complaints.
What he was pained about was that the Qin technique he created had finally vanished into thin air.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "Mister is mistaken again. Qin is only the second generation, because the state of Qin is stubbornly sticking to the laws created by Sir, and did not keep up with the times. Back then, when Master entered Qin, he did not accept an official position in Qin. He took the lead to enter the countryside of Qin and investigated the situation of the people for several months. Only then was he able to formulate laws that were in line with the law. Why? It's just suitable. "
When Wei Yang heard this, he remained silent.
With Wei Yang's talent, how could he not understand this logic? It was just that being in the situation, it was hard to avoid being swayed by emotions.
Ouyang Shuo continued, "Mister is a great talent, you should advance bravely and carry out the reform, spreading the prestige of Legalism and passing on the teachings of Legalism. It would be shameful for me to continue loitering around the tavern and teahouse. "
Wei Yang heard this and heaved a long sigh. With a melancholy expression, he said: "Where is Duke Xiao?" The success of Shang Yang's reform in Qin cannot be achieved without the support of Duke Xiao.
Such a monarch was hard to come by in a hundred years.
When Ouyang Shuo heard this, his expression became serious. He stood up and bowed, saying, "Although Wuyi is not talented, I am willing to follow Duke Xiao's example."
Wei Yang was instantly moved. Ouyang Shuo's words were equivalent to a promise.
The promise of the Marquis was worth more than a thousand catties.
At this moment, the air seemed to have frozen, and it was suffocating.
Ouyang Shuo was waiting, waiting for Wei Yang's decision.
After a long while, Wei Yang let out a long sigh. He straightened his clothes and stood up as well. "Marquis!"
This bow, the meeting between the ruler and his subject, finally became a beautiful story.
The White Snake witnessed the entire process of the Marquis persuading Wei Yang and could not help but gasp in admiration.
[Name]: Wei Yang (Divine level)
[Title]: Lord of Shang
[Dynasty]: Warring States (Qin)
[Identity]: Shanhai City Resident
[Occupation]: Civil Official
[Loyalty]: 75
[Commander]: 72 [Strength]: 35 [Intelligence]: 88 [Politics]: 95
[Specialty]: Rule of Law (increases territorial administrative efficiency by 25, increases territorial integrity by 30), Ruthless Official (increases territorial prestige by 20), Just and Honest (increases territorial integrity by 20)
[Ancient Book]: Book of Shang Jun
[Evaluation]: Wei Yang, the great son of the school of Legalism, the hero of a politician. The Lord of Shang was Duke Xiaogong of Qin. He made clear laws, forbade treachery, rewarded nobles, and punished those who committed crimes. He weighed the pros and cons, adjusted the severity of the situation, and severed the boundaries between the people. He encouraged the people to farm and benefit the land. He did not have anything else to do. He worked hard on the land, and was used to war. When the army moved, the land expanded, and when the army stopped, the country became rich. Therefore, Qin was invincible in the world.
After subduing Wei Yang, Ouyang Shuo did not stay in the capital any longer. He returned to Shanhai City on the same day.
After returning, Ouyang Shuo did not immediately assign Wei Yang any duties. According to Wei Yang, he also had to inspect Lianzhou County for a period of time to understand the people's feelings before returning to his post.
Ouyang Shuo arranged for two guards to accompany Wei Yang for inspection. Although Lianzhou was peaceful, there were still some bandits, so it was not absolutely safe.
At the same time, Ouyang Shuo gave Wei Yang a token. With this token, Wei Yang could see all the officials in the county, and no one was allowed to obstruct him.
As for Wei Yang's position, Ouyang Shuo had already made a decision.
Among the three big departments, the Administrative Bureau, the Interior Bureau, and the Finance Bureau, the Interior Bureau was in charge of the territory's laws and punishments. It was the most suitable place for Wei Yang to display his talents.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had to make arrangements for the current Interior Bureau Chief, Tian Wenjing.
If he only arranged for Tian Wenjing to be Wei Yang's assistant, it would be overkill. The territory lacked civil officials, and Ouyang Shuo was not so domineering.
According to Ouyang Shuo, he wanted Tian Wenjing to be in charge of Cliff Mountain City.
If everything went smoothly, Tian Wenjing would also be the candidate to be the County Governor of Qiongzhou County.
To Tian Wenjing, the best place for him to display his talents was still in charge of politics. He was not called the model governor during the Yongzheng Period of the Qing Dynasty for nothing.
Being in charge of Cliff Mountain was the most suitable.
Following Ouyang Shuo's series of arrangements, the foundation of Cliff Mountain City was gradually stabilized. It was time for a powerful person to be stationed there.
Neither Sun Xiaoyue nor Bai Nanpu had such talents.
In the first half of the year, before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom threatened Lianzhou County, Ouyang Shuo's main focus was on the construction of Cliff Mountain City. He wanted to expand the territory's strategic depth.
The next day, Ouyang Shuo summoned Tian Wenjing in his study.
"Yangon, do you want to be in charge of politics?"
Tian Wenjing was stunned when he heard this.
Even if he wanted to be in charge of politics, he would be demoted if he became the magistrate of a prefecture. Moreover, there were no vacancies in Lianzhou County. The only vacancy was in Cliff Mountain City.
Could it be?
Tian Wenjing's heart wavered when he thought of this.
He was well aware of the marquis's strategy to develop Jingzhou Island. He also knew the strategic position of Jingzhou Island in the marquis's heart. Not to mention the future, the status of Cliff Mountain City was only below that of Shanhai City.
"Marquis, what do you mean?"
Compared to others, Tian Wenjing's cultivation was much more profound.
Ouyang Shuo had high hopes for this important official. He said, "What I mean is for you to temporarily be in charge of Cliff Mountain City, but it will not be limited to that. You will be responsible for all the government affairs of Jingzhou Island. "
Tian Wenjing was excited when he heard this.
A county governor, the first county governor of a territory.
No one could remain calm in the face of such a heavy responsibility.
Tian Wenjing was still Tian Wenjing. The cold-faced chief was so calm that it was chilling. He quickly collected his emotions and said, "Then, what about the internal affairs department?"
Wei Yang's arrival did not alarm anyone, so Tian Wenjing was still unaware.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Wei Yang has already become an official in the territory and is now inspecting various places. When he returns, Yangon, you will hand over the position to him and then go to Cliff Mountain City to take up the post. "
"Wei Yang?"
Tian Wenjing could not help but exclaim. The name of the King of Shang was famous throughout the ages.
"Yes!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded. It was interesting that this cold-faced chief was surprised.
"Congratulations, Marquis!"
After the conversation ended, Ouyang Shuo said, "Yangon, use this period of time to think about how to put on a good show in Cliff Mountain City and Jingzhou Island!"
"I will not let Marquis down!"
Ouyang Shuo was about to speak when he suddenly heard a system notification.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Lin Yue, the territory's martial artist, for recovering his skills and breaking through the bottleneck to become a Fist Technique Grandmaster. Special reward: 2,000 Reputation Points."
A Grandmaster. The territory's second Grandmaster was finally born.
Lin Yue did not disappoint Ouyang Shuo. In just a month, not only did he recover his skills, but he also improved further and became a Grandmaster.
Following that, there was a system announcement.
"System notification: Congratulations to Shanhai City for giving birth to the first Grandmaster-level martial artist in the territory. Shanhai City is specially granted the title [Home of Fist Techniques]. Congratulations to player Lin Yue."
…
Once the announcement was made, the players were naturally amazed.
Shanhai City had always been able to create miracles. Some players had already jokingly called it the 'City of Miracles'.
Therefore, the system announcement this time did not cause much of a stir among the players.
The only effect was that adventure-type players who were skilled in fist techniques would be more interested in Shanhai City. It could be predicted that there would be more and more players coming to Shanhai City to learn martial arts.
After Tian Wenjing left, Ouyang Shuo checked the attributes of the [Home of Fist Techniques].
[Home of Fist Techniques]: Increase the physical fitness of the territory's residents by 10. Increase the fist technique proficiency of the territory's martial artists by 10. Increase the fist technique power of the territory's martial artists by 10.
The attributes of the [Home of Fist Techniques] were even stronger than the [Home of Martial Arts] that Song Jia obtained when she founded the Eastern Hedge Sword Faction. It was especially useful for those who specialized in fist techniques.
Regardless of whether it was the military or the people, they would all benefit from it.
Even Ouyang Shuo's personal strength had increased because he practiced the [Eight Extremities Fist].
So far, Shanhai City had obtained five titles. They were [First County in the World], [Sacred Land of the Military], [Home of Forging], [Home of Martial Arts], and [Home of Fist Techniques].
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo heard another system notification.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Lin Yue. The [Home of Martial Arts] and [Home of Fist Techniques] titles have similar attributes. They can be merged. Do you want to merge them?"
"Merge!"
"System notification: Congratulations to player Lin Yue for successfully merging the territory titles. Shanhai City automatically obtained the title [Prosperous Land of Martial Arts]. The original [Home of Martial Arts] and [Home of Fist Techniques] titles have automatically disappeared."
[Prosperous Land of Martial Arts]: Increase the physical fitness of the territory's residents by 30. Increase the fist technique proficiency of the territory's martial artists by 10. Increase the fist technique power of the territory's martial artists by 10.
Note: This title can be upgraded to [Sacred Land of Martial Arts]. The requirements for upgrading are to obtain at least two more single-type martial arts titles. For example, [Home of Sword Techniques], [Home of Spear Techniques], etc.
Ouyang Shuo was speechless. The so-called merging was just a simple stacking of the attributes of the two titles. The only thing worth looking forward to was the final title [Sacred Land of Martial Arts].
And to be upgraded to [Sacred Land of Martial Arts], at least two martial arts masters had to be born. (To be continued.)
