Southern Border Protectorate, Southern Study Room.
On the third day of Ouyang Shuo's return to Shanhai City, he finally found some time to meet 'Ancestor Shang' Bai Gui. Accompanying Bai Gui was his daughter, Wei Yang's wife Bai Xue.
Bai Clan Trading Company moved to Shanhai City. Other than the assistants, shopkeepers and skilled people like Cui Clan Trading Company, there was another group of people that were special. They were Bai Gui's disciples. There were more than a hundred of them.
Bai Gui was the first person to accept disciples. Through strict selection, he accepted a few students.
He had a high threshold for accepting disciples. He once said: "My management of production is like Yi Yin and Lu Shangzhi's schemes, Sun Wu's military is like Shang's methods. Thus, their intelligence is insufficient, their courage is insufficient, their benevolence is insufficient, and their borders cannot be defended. Although they wish to learn my skills, they do not tell me. "
During the Warring States Period, merchants were the last in the division of 'scholars, farmers, workers and merchants'. Merchants had always had a low status in China's history. However, Bai Gui used the highest moral standards of that time as a basic requirement for merchants. He equated the importance of economics with politics and military.
It could be seen that the businessman that Bai Gui was looking for was someone with a very high level of education and noble moral character. This was in line with his business philosophy of taking benevolence as the foundation.
Because of this, Bai Gui won the title of 'Ancestor Shang'.
"I am gratified that Old Mister Bai is able to move Bai Clan Trading Company to Shanhai City." Ouyang Shuo said.
"I came for profit."
Bai Gui was magnanimous and did not lose his character as a merchant.
Ouyang Shuo heard this and smiled. He did not believe that Bai Gui's motive would be so simple. To the current Bai Gui, wealth and such were probably already insignificant things.
What Bai Gui was truly worried about was the status of Shang clan.
This was something that Ouyang Shuo had figured out later on.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo was confident.
"Old Mister's knowledge is as vast as the ocean. Isn't it a waste of talent to only pursue profit?" Ouyang Shuo smiled.
Bai Gui heard this and his eyes lit up in understanding.
From the looks of it, his intuition was right. This strange lord in front of him was indeed extraordinary.
The two smiled and immediately formed a tacit understanding.
This caused Bai Xue, who was sitting at the side, to feel puzzled.
"Old Mister should have heard of Southwest University China Hall?" Ouyang Shuo changed the topic.
"I've long heard of it. I've been fascinated by it for a long time."
Bai Gui's expression became more and more joyous.
In this world, there was nothing more joyous than meeting someone who understood you.
Bai Gui found Gui to Ouyang Shuo more pleasing to the eye.
If he had known this would happen, he and Fan Li wouldn't have made such an unnecessary move.
"In Southwestern University, there's a school called the Business School that specializes in business. The position of the head of the academy had always been vacant. This is a great legacy of mine. I wonder if Old Mister is willing to accept it? "
Ouyang Shuo threw out his chips.
"Shuo Tian" Gui said.
"Hall. Gui. and Bai Gui laughed.
This was because the current Southwest Great Hall had long since become the core of the Hundred Schools of Thought's holy land of learning. "Ancestor of Hundred Schools" Jiang Shang. The leaders of School of Economics, School of Physics, School of Law, and School of Agriculture were all representatives of the schools.
Once Bai Gui became School Master, it would mean that Hundred Schools of Thought would enter the mainstream.
How could Bai Gui, who wanted to bring Shang clan to greater heights, not be excited?
Ouyang Shuo made this arrangement because he saw through it.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo officially appointed Bai Gui as Dean of Southwest University China Hall School Master. The moment Bai Gui officially entered the School of Business, a system announcement spread throughout China.
"System Announcement: Bai Gui, representative of Shang clan, has become an official in Shan Hai Territory. He is now in charge of School Master and has accepted disciples. At the same time, he has fulfilled the three conditions for a sect to enter.
… …
"System Announcement: Shang clan of Hundred Schools of Thought has officially entered Shan Hai City. Shan Hai City is given the title of [Shang Sacred Land]. Congratulations to player Don't Say You Have No Clothes!"
… …
Originally, the two system announcements had ended. Unexpectedly, another system announcement sounded.
"System Announcement: Shang clan of Hundred Schools of Thought has officially entered Shan Hai City. Shan Hai City's title of [Hundred Schools of Thought] has been replaced with [Shang Sacred Land]. The title reward of [Shang Sacred Land] has been cancelled. Shan Hai City is given a hidden building [Silver Wish Tower] as a reward. Congratulations to player Don't Say You Have No Clothes!"
… …
Once the announcement was made, the world was in an uproar.
For other territories, obtaining the title of Hundred Schools of Thought's sacred land was already a joyous occasion. Who would have thought that Shan Hai City was so generous that even a sacred land title would not be able to gain a foothold in a territory's title.
Such dominance. It was truly invincible.
Ouyang Shuo smiled when he saw this.
From the looks of it, when other Hundred Schools of Thought enter Shan Hai City in the future, they would be given a hidden building as a reward.
Just thinking about it made him excited.
Following the announcement, a four story treasure tower was automatically created at the side of the recruitment hall. The entire tower was filled with jewels and treasures. It was extremely wealthy and made people sigh.
West Temple. Every detail of the building was related to wealth. The ground was made of bronze, the foundation was made of fine iron, and the walls were made of high-quality wood.
Bat sculptures and copper coins could be seen everywhere.
Every floor of the treasure tower had a theme.
The first floor was a bunch of rice, which symbolized the source of wealth from agriculture.
The second floor was a large scale, which symbolized the accumulation of wealth through circulation.
The third floor was a copper coin, which symbolized the source of wealth through currency.
The fourth floor was a tael of silver, which symbolized the source of wealth through money.
At the top of the tower was a gold ingot the size of a washbasin. It was especially eye-catching, which symbolized the source of wealth.
Of course, the core function of the treasure tower was to pray.
[Name]: Silver Wish Tower
[Type]: Hidden building
[Function]: Can make a wish once every six months
[Characteristics]: Merchant attraction rate increased by 20, territory popularity increased by 5
[Description]: This is a treasure tower specially built for making wishes. Every six months, the lord can spend a certain amount of gold coins to enter the silver tower to make a wish. The amount of gold coins required is proportional to the difficulty of the wish.
Every time the wish function is activated, the minimum cost is 10,000 gold coins, and the maximum is 100,000 gold coins. If the lord's wish exceeds 100,000 gold coins, the wish will automatically become invalid. At the same time, 10,000 gold coins will be deducted.
At the same time, the number of wishes for this time will also be used up.
Therefore, the [Silver Wish Tower] was not omnipotent. It had very strong restrictions.
Even so, it was still an amazing hidden building. Wishes such as "praying for good weather in the coming year" were relatively easy to fulfill.
