After returning to the mansion, Ouyang Shuo walked into the administrative office on the east side. Ding
He handed over the five blueprints he had just bought to Zhao Dewang of the construction division. He instructed him to arrange for people to upgrade the five buildings when he was free.
Then, Ouyang Shuo found Gu Xiuwen and asked him to follow him to his office.
Gu Xiuwen had just been relieved of his position in the household registration office. When he heard Ou Yangming calling him, he understood that there was a new task for him.
After returning to the mayor's office, Ouyang Shuo waited for Gu Xiuwen to sit down before he smiled. "Xiuwen, you've been doing well recently. The tasks that you've given me have all gone smoothly. I've seen it all. Now, I have an even more difficult task for you. I just don't know if you have the confidence to do it. "
"Sir, please instruct me. I will definitely do my best!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded in satisfaction. "Good. This is what I need. After the territory is upgraded to a first-class town, we can build a subsidiary village. With the expansion of the territory, the Northern Twilight Salt Field behind the mountain range has also been officially included in the territory. This is to provide a place for the salt workers in the Northern Twilight Salt Field so that they don't have to travel back and forth between the salt field and Shanhai Town. I've decided to build the first subsidiary village next to the salt field to house the salt workers. "
"Sir is benevolent. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the salt workers!" Gu Xiuwen said sincerely.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand. "The Northern Twilight Salt Field will be the territory's gold mine for a long time. The salt workers are exposed to the sun and wind all day long to bring benefits to the territory. It's only right to provide them with a stable place to live. The new village needs a responsible village chief. I like you, Xiuwen. How about it? Are you willing to suffer at the seaside? "
Although he was mentally prepared, Gu Xiuwen was still excited when he heard that he had the opportunity to govern. He said incoherently, "I'm willing to die for you."
"Very good. Since you're mentally prepared, I might as well give you a hint. I'm going to name the new subsidiary village North Sea Village. It will mainly serve the Northern Twilight Salt Field. However, the role of North Sea Village isn't limited to this. In the future, it will be the territory's only port city and the territory's maritime trade window. Its importance cannot be overstated no matter how I describe it, "Ouyang Shuo explained.
Gu Xiuwen nodded his head forcefully, feeling a great sense of responsibility. "Does Daren have any instructions for this trip to North Sea Village?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you build North Sea Village with nothing. His initial plan was to build North Sea Village according to the standards of a Level 3 village. In terms of population, the existing 250 salt workers were all under the jurisdiction of Beihai Village. In addition, each department in Shanhai Town will need to transfer one or two grassroots administrative personnel to assist you in setting up the basic administrative structure of Beihai Village. Of all the talents in the territory, at least one apprentice had to be sent to the North Sea Village. For example, if the territory already had four blacksmiths, they could directly send a blacksmith to the North Sea Village. Lastly, the territory will also provide a batch of basic materials that will be sufficient to deal with the early stages of construction. "Ouyang Shuo dispelled Gu Xiuwen's worries.
Since they had the conditions, the North Sea Village naturally did not need to be like the Shanhai Village, which had to open up the wasteland step by step. This was the advantage of being a subsidiary village. With the support of the headquarters, they would naturally be able to develop quickly. More importantly, as long as the headquarters had already been built, the subsidiary villages did not need blueprints to build similar buildings. This saved them a lot of money.
With the help promised by Daren, Gu Xiuwen became more confident. He said in a relaxed manner, "With such favorable conditions, I am confident that I can build North Sea Village well for Daren."
"Remember, when you get there, you have to set your sights on the long term. The best place to build the village is a place suitable for building a large port. In addition, although the Northern Twilight Salt Fields have not been attacked by pirates or pirates, we still have to guard against them. After you go, not only do you have to pay attention to the economy, but you also have to establish a defensive force as soon as possible. I will transfer a squad leader from the cavalry company to assist you. "Ouyang Shuo warned.
Gu Xiuwen nodded, indicating that he would remember.
The general situation was more or less explained. Ouyang Shuo stood up and smiled at Gu Xiuwen, "Let's go. Follow me to get the village creation token."
Ouyang Shuo brought the puzzled Gu Xiuwen to the meeting hall. He silently called for the stone tablet, and the golden stone tablet slowly rose from the floor of the meeting hall. On the front of the stone tablet, the words' Mountain Sea Town 'shone brightly.
He placed his right hand on the stone tablet and silently called for the subsidiary village. A system announcement immediately sounded out.
"System Announcement: Mountain Sea Town is a Level 1 Town and has a subsidiary village slot. Do you wish to use it?"
"Yes!"
"System Announcement: Mountain Sea Town Village Creation Token is a Gold grade token. The subsidiary village's Village Creation Token will be demoted to Silver grade. Do you wish to immediately separate it?"
"Separate it!"
A white light shot out from the golden stone tablet and slowly landed in Ouyang Shuo's hand, turning into a Silver grade Village Creation Token.
Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to look at the Village Creation Token's attributes.
[Name]: Village Creation Token (Silver)
[Characteristics]: Attraction rate of refugees increased by 40, attraction rate of special talents increased by 16, crop output increased by 40, production skills increased by 16, soldier levels increased by 16.
[Evaluation]: Unique item, cannot be dropped, cannot be traded.
The Silver grade Village Creation Token only had 80 of the Gold grade Village Creation Token's characteristics, and it lacked an exclusive skill. Even so, it was still an extremely rare Village Creation Token. In the entire China region, including the Handan Six Hegemons, there were definitely no more than 10 Silver grade Village Creation Tokens.
According to the system settings, the subsidiary village's Village Creation Token would automatically be demoted by one rank, and each territory could only have a maximum of 3 subsidiary villages. Of course, occupying other territories was not part of this restriction.
When the subsidiary village was upgraded to a subsidiary town, it could expand to another 3 subsidiary villages, but the prerequisite was that the territory had to be upgraded to a Level 1 County. Similarly, the subsidiary village's Village Creation Token could only be separated from the subsidiary town's stone tablet, and its grade would automatically be demoted by one rank. The cycle continued until it dropped to the lowest level, the Bronze level, and there was no way it could drop anymore.
In other words, Mountain Sea Town's golden stone tablet could be separated into 3 Silver grade Village Creation Tokens. These 3 Silver grade Village Creation Tokens could be separated into 9 Black Iron grade Village Creation Tokens.
From this, it could be seen that the Gold grade Village Creation Token had a profound effect on territory development. Mountain Sea Town, which possessed the only Gold grade Village Creation Token in the China region, must have a strong foundation.
Ouyang Shuo nodded his head in satisfaction, and handed the Village Creation Token to Gu Xiuwen, smiling as he said, "I've already created all the conditions for you. As for how far North Sea Village can develop, it's all up to you. Don't disappoint me. "
Gu Xiuwen nodded his head in silence, choking with emotion as he said, "Sir, don't worry!"
"Alright, go and make the preparations! As for which administrative talents and apprentices to choose from, you've been in charge of the household registration office for so long, so you should know better than me. Just take my token and go pick them! I'll help you arrange for supplies from the Supplies Department and the army. Tomorrow morning, bring them out! "Ouyang Shuo patted Gu Xiuwen's shoulder as he spoke casually.
Seeing Gu Xiuwen walk out of the meeting hall with the token, Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself, "Xiuwen, perhaps even you don't know what kind of opportunity this is. Don't disappoint me!"
Afterwards, Ouyang Shuo called Tian Wenjing and Du Xiaolan to his office and said, "Perhaps you've already heard that Gu Xiuwen, the previous household registration office's Head, is going to the Northern Twilight Salt Field to develop a subsidiary village for the territory. For this, I have two things to tell you.
"The first is about the Northern Twilight Salt Field. After the establishment of North Sea Village, the Northern Twilight Salt Field will be under the leadership of both the Salt Field Department and the North Sea Village. All of the salt workers in the salt field will become villagers of North Sea Village. The following salt workers will also be chosen from North Sea Village. Before that, I feel that there's a need to clearly define the responsibilities of both sides.
"North Sea Village is mainly responsible for ensuring the livelihood of the salt workers. The Salt Field Department is mainly responsible for the production planning of the salt field, as well as the storage, transportation, and sale of sea salt. I hope that in the future, the Salt Field Department and the North Sea Village will work together to help each other and not restrict each other.
"In addition, the Finance Department said this morning that they want to expand the scale of the Northern Twilight Salt Field. I agree with this suggestion. I suggest that we start the third phase of the Northern Twilight Salt Field project. We can use one month to gradually expand the salt field to two thousand mu.
"The second matter is about the construction of the North Sea Village. The Resource Reserve Department needs to do two things well. One is to open the grain, meat, and cloth stores to the North Sea Village as soon as possible so that the villagers can buy the necessities they need when they go out. The second is to prepare a batch of wood, stone, and iron ore to be transported to the North Sea Village via fishing boats to support the construction of the North Sea Village. The North Sea Village's back is by the sea, so wood resources are very scarce. However, the stone and iron ore can be mined by themselves. In my opinion, the wood resources this time must be enough to meet the construction needs of the third level village. "
Tian Wenjing nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. The Resource Reserve Department will definitely cooperate with Village Chief Gu and do our best to expand the territory. In addition, the Resource Reserve Department will also arrange for competent government personnel to establish a Resource Reserve Department in the North Sea Village to fully cooperate with Village Chief Gu. "
"I'm very pleased!" Ouyang Shuo nodded and stood up to see them off.
