The next day, it was already ten in the morning when Ouyang Shuo came online.
Bing 'er's winter break started yesterday, and the girl had been pestering him the whole day, bringing him around to eat and drink. He was finally free.
The square in front of the lord's manor was filled with people. The logistics department was distributing basic benefits, and the place was bustling with activity. Some of the villagers went straight to the Bank of the Four Seas as soon as they got their coupons, preparing to get a loan to buy a house.
Other than the basic pottery factory and the brewery, the other shops and houses were selling for around sixty silver. With the twenty silver coupons, most of the people could get a loan to buy a house.
Ouyang Shuo estimated that most of the listed properties would be sold out in one day. Fortunately, the construction department had built hundreds of small houses that were suitable for families to live in. Otherwise, he didn't know how to deal with the situation.
He did some rough calculations. Including the coupons, it would cost more than six hundred gold to privatize the place. Other than him, no other lord would have the confidence to do something like this.
But it was all worth it. Ouyang Shuo checked the territory's economic index. It had already broken through thirty points, and was still rising. This way, apart from the population limit and the mulberry garden, all the other conditions for leveling up were met.
At three in the afternoon, the basic benefits were finally distributed. The refugees that spawned later didn't need to be collected together like now, and were distributed separately by the logistics department.
After everything was done, Ouyang Shuo summoned the various department heads and listened to their report on the spoils of war from yesterday's annihilation of the Roving Bandits.
In the meeting room, Zhao Youfang started reporting, "We got 1145 units of grain, 120 units of wood, and 500 units of stone. We got 105 gold, 45 silver, 72 copper, five blueprints, and a summoning talisman. "
The wood, stone, and blueprints were mainly from destroying the bandit camp. This time, Ouyang Shuo didn't lead the troops himself. As long as the stone tablet was broken, the camp would be destroyed automatically.
Out of the five blueprints, only the armory blueprints could be used. The other four could only be sold to the market.
As for the weapons and equipment, they weren't included in the statistics. Ouyang Shuo had told Lin Yi to transport them back to the camp and let the riders digest them themselves.
Subsequently, Gu Xiuwen began to report the personnel situation. "We've brought back 125 non-combatants from the Rogue Bandit Camp this time. There were chefs, breeders, tailors, and blacksmiths among them. Most of them are mid-level talents. Only that breeder is a high-level talent. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "After the privatization, the village's dining hall will be disbanded. Arrange for the chef to be in charge of the army's food in the camp. The tailor was arranged to work in Qing 'er's tailor shop. The blacksmith was assigned to the weapons workshop to assist Wang Zhuan in training apprentices. As for that senior breeder, arrange for him to be in charge of the pig and cow pens in the territory. It just so happens that there's a shortage of people there. "
In the current Shanhai Village, skilled people were no longer as rare as they were in the beginning. Thus, Ouyang Shuo didn't need to understand the situation one by one like he did before. He only needed to make a general arrangement.
On the other hand, the new population of 125 saved another eight days for the territory to be upgraded to a first-grade town. In addition to the 12 days saved by the refugees from before, they could advance by 20 days.
Today was February 10th, which meant that on February 15th, the Shanhai Village would be upgraded again. In just 13 days, they had risen from a third-grade village to a first-grade town. No one in the China region could match such a shocking speed. Even Di Chen, who didn't lack funds, couldn't catch up.
After taking inventory of the spoils of war, Ouyang Shuo received 100 gold coins, building blueprints, and summoning talismans from Zhao Youfang. The rest of the money went to the financial department, while the food and other resources were naturally stored by the Supplies Department.
Before handing over the blueprints to the construction department, Ouyang Shuo looked at the building conditions of the armory.
[Armory]: A warehouse for storing weapons. Construction requirements: Armory blueprint, 600 units of wood, 400 units of stone. Construction time: 3 days.
Ouyang Shuo ordered the construction department to build the armory in two days. The specific location was naturally next to the barracks, next to the weapons workshop.
Following this, Ouyang Shuo took out the summoning talisman and looked at its attributes.
[Summoning Talisman] (King-grade): Randomly summons a King-grade historical figure to work for you.
Although it was the lowest grade summoning talisman, it was still priceless. Ouyang Shuo didn't expect that he would be so lucky this time. He had casually annihilated a mid-level bandit camp and obtained such a treasure. He tore open the summoning talisman without hesitation. A white light flashed, and a middle-aged scholar appeared.
System Notification: Congratulations to player Tian Wenjing for successfully subduing the King-grade historical figure, Tian Wenjing. Special reward: 50 Reputation Points.
When the middle-aged scholar saw Ouyang Shuo, he bowed and said respectfully, "Greetings, my lord!"
Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly stepped forward, raised his hands, and said sincerely, "Mister, please rise! With your help, I'm like a fish in water! "
After exchanging greetings, Ouyang Shuo looked at Tian Wenjing's attributes.
[Name]: Tian Wenjing (King-grade)
[Title]: Model Border Officer
[Dynasty]: Qing Dynasty
[Identity]: Shanhai Village Villager
[Occupation]: Civil Official
[Loyalty]: 75
[Commander]: 40 [Strength]: 25 [Intelligence]: 70 [Politics]: 85
[Specialties]: Clear Governance (Increases the administrative efficiency of the territory by 20%), Ruthless Official (Increases the prestige of the territory by 20%), Fair and Honest (Increases the integrity of the territory by 20%)
[Evaluation]: One of the three confidants of the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He is capable and experienced in political affairs. He is known for being crafty and mean. He is a combination of an upright official and a cruel official. When he was governing the region, he was extremely strict with bandits, and there were almost no bandits in the area under his jurisdiction. At the same time, he supervised the provinces and counties to collect taxes, and opened up wastelands, with strict deadlines.
In terms of administrative skills, Fan Zhongyan couldn't even compare to Tian Wenjing. At the age of twenty-two, he began to enter the officialdom. He started as the County Magistrate of Changle County, and then successively served as the County Magistrate, Prefecture Magistrate, and Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of Personnel. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, he successively held prominent positions such as Chief Secretary, Inspector-General, and Governor-General. He was personally conferred the title of "Model Border Officer" by Emperor Yongzheng.
The reason why Fan Zhongyan was praised by the world was not only because of his political affairs, but also because of his character and literary achievements. Tian Wenjing, on the other hand, was different. He entered officialdom as a supervisor, and his foundation was government affairs. Although he was an honest and upright official, he was still labeled as a cruel official.
The two of them complemented each other. With these two people in Shanhai Village, there was no need to worry about government affairs. Because of this, Ouyang Shuo sighed that Tian Wenjing was like a fish in water.
Because it was already late, it was inconvenient to talk further. Ouyang Shuo called Gu Xiuwen over and asked him to arrange Tian Wenjing's daily life. At the same time, he introduced the basic situation of Shanhai Village. Gu Xiuwen had done this kind of thing once before, so he was naturally familiar with it.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo specifically told him to inform the people in charge of the various departments to meet in the meeting hall at nine o 'clock tomorrow morning.
February 11th, the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion.
The officials in charge of the various departments had all arrived. Ouyang Shuo sat in the middle and formally introduced Tian Wenjing to everyone.
After greeting each other, Ouyang Shuo said, "After nearly ten days of hard work, the privatization has achieved initial success. Today, I called everyone here mainly for two matters. After the privatization, military supplies must be supplied independently. In addition, with the expansion of the cooperation with the carpentry workshop, the territory's vehicles will also need to be under the unified management. In this way, the functions of the Material Reserve Department will become larger and more complex.
"Therefore, I have decided to officially upgrade the Material Reserve Department to the Material Reserve Department. There will be the War Preparation Department, the Carriage Department, and the Material Reserve Department. The War Preparation Department will be responsible for the logistics of the armory, military rations, and other military supplies. The Carriage Department will be responsible for the wooden oxen and other transportation vehicles, as well as the dispatch of horses.
"The Material Reserve Department will be responsible for the dispatch of basic supplies, as well as the operation of the grain stores, meat stores, and cloth stores. As for the sawmills, quarries, mines, and pastures, they will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Material Reserve Department. "
Zhao Youfang and the others did not expect that the Lord would make such a big move right from the start. This was simply reshaping the Material Reserve Department.
Not only did he split the responsibility of the Material Reserve Department into three, but he also separated the sawmills, quarries, mines, and pastures from being under his direct jurisdiction. This ensured the authority of the Material Reserve Department.
Not only that, but Ouyang Shuo's real intention was to separate the supply chain from the reserve chain, so that they could restrict each other and avoid a situation where one company was the sole owner.
After everyone had digested this heavy bomb, Ouyang Shuo continued, "Tian Wenjing will be appointed as the Material Reserve Department's Head. He will be responsible for the overall management of the territory's material reserve."
Tian Wenjing stood up and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your trust, Lord. I will definitely do my best and not let you down!"
No one present was surprised by this appointment. At the current stage, there was no one other than Tian Wenjing who could be in charge of the Material Reserve Department. The most promising candidate, Zhao Youfang, could not even control the Material Reserve Department, let alone the upgraded Material Reserve Department.
"The former Deputy Head of the Material Reserve Department, Zhao Youfang, will be appointed Head of the Combat Readiness Department. The former Deputy Head of the Material Reserve Department, Zheng Shanpao, will be relieved of his duties as the Head of the Quarry Department, and will be appointed Head of the Carriage Department. The former Assistant Head of the Material Reserve Department, Du Xiaolan, will be appointed Head of the Material Reserve Department. "Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to announce the personnel appointments of the various departments.
Zhao Youfang was conservative in his conduct, so Ouyang Shuo did not treat him badly by arranging him into the Combat Readiness Department. Although Zheng Shanpao's performance was not eye-catching, he had spent most of his time dealing with the affairs of the quarry. This time, he took the opportunity to transfer him out of the quarry and put him in charge of the relatively simple Carriage Department. He could be considered to have officially entered his official career.
Du Xiaolan was Cui Yingyou's direct subordinate and was the key to Cui Yingyou's influence over the Material Reserve Department. In addition, she had done a good job as the Assistant Head of the Material Reserve Department. She was a meticulous person, so arranging her into the Material Reserve Department was perfect.
