Besides financial support, in order to coordinate with the industrial plans of the Seventh Research Institute, the structure of the Southern Protectorate had to be adjusted to suit the needs of future industrial development.
Ouyang Shuo, on the other hand, wanted to wait until after New Year's Day to gather all the ministers and discuss it together. It was time for the current structure of the protectorate to be replaced.
After receiving Ouyang Shuo's promise, Liu Mo and the others were extremely excited.
"At least a pot of good tea wasn't wasted!" someone muttered under his breath.
"…"
Before leaving the 7th Research Institute, Ouyang Shuo made a request to Liu Mo. It was to ask the No. 7 Research Institute to cooperate with the Beihai Shipyard to completely modify his flagship "Dragon Head".
One of the reasons why Liu Mo and the others wanted to establish an industrial system was to support the research and manufacturing of firearms in the territory. However, to achieve this goal, it would still take some time.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo wanted to install some old cannons on the warships first.
Speaking of the flagship, Dragon Head, only Ouyang Shuo had ridden it a few times when he led his troops to explore Jingzhou Island. For the rest of the time, it was anchored at the North Sea Port.
Elder Sun, on the other hand, had a special liking for Dragon Head. Every time he had a new idea, he would test it on Dragon Head, treating it as a test subject.
It was reported that the current Dragon Head had changed beyond recognition.
Now, Ouyang Shuo suddenly wanted to modify the cannons on the flagship that he had never cared about before.
No matter how one looked at it, it was unusual.
"Why do I feel that you have other intentions?"
Liu Mo glanced at Ouyang Shuo and asked with uncertainty.
Ouyang Shuo smiled without saying a word.
"Don't tell me you're thinking of going out to sea?" Liu Mo started gossiping.
Ouyang Shuo ignored him and left the research institute.
"Just treat it as one thing!" Ouyang Shuo said worriedly before leaving.
"Rest assured!"
Liu Mo replied gloomily. Obviously, he was a little depressed that he didn't get any gossip.
Who said that researchers didn't know how to gossip?
They were just passionate on the inside.
…
After leaving the research institute, Ouyang Shuo returned to the protectorate headquarters to practice calligraphy with Bing'er.
It was December, and the virtual classroom hadn't started its winter break yet.
In the afternoon, it was time for Bing'er to study Guoxue.
Of the four major subjects, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, the little lass's favorite was calligraphy.
He had no interest in playing the zither or chess. Ouyang Shuo scolded him for not having any artistic talent.
Needless to say, the little girl's talent in calligraphy was extremely strong.
He had only learned calligraphy for three months, but his handwriting was already quite good.
In his previous life, Ouyang Shuo had lived in the game for five years, which meant that he had spent five years writing calligraphy. Although it couldn't be said that the writing was very good, it could be considered to have a certain level of skill.
The brother and sister, each writing a piece of calligraphy, were happy and harmonious.
"Brother, are you going to marry Big Sister Song Jia?"
While writing, the little girl suddenly raised her head and asked Ouyang Shuo this question.
Ouyang Shuo was startled. He put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile, "That's right. What, are you unhappy? "
The siblings were too familiar with each other.
Any slight change in Bing 'er's tone would not escape Ouyang Shuo's ears.
The day before yesterday, Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia discussed the marriage.
The sudden feeling of happiness knocked Song Jia over, and the news spread throughout the entire residence.
The entire Protectorate of the Southern Border had already begun to move, excitedly preparing for the Marquis' wedding. When the common people of Shanhai City heard the news, they were all overjoyed.
In just one day, the people's hearts had risen a little. Only now did Ouyang Shuo truly understand what the marriage and children of a ruler meant to the common people in ancient times.
This was not a simple personal matter.
In this kind of environment, Ouyang Shuo was not surprised that the clever Bing 'er had received the news.
"A little." The little girl's mood suddenly became somewhat downcast, and she looked pitiful.
"Why?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"If Big Brother gets married, he won't be Bing 'er's big brother anymore. He won't love Bing' er anymore."
Bing 'er mumbled. Her little appearance was truly distressing.
As she grew older, the little girl no longer acted like a spoiled child around Ouyang Shuo. She began to slowly become more independent, especially after cultivating the Immaculate Heart Sutra. Her entire person had become much colder.
Only now did Ouyang Shuo realize that the little girl was still the little girl from back then. Her dependence on this big brother of hers had not changed at all.
Ouyang Shuo smiled bitterly. "Who did you hear this from? What kind of nonsense theory is this?"
"That's what my sisters said." Bing 'er was somewhat unconvinced.
"Silly girl."
Ouyang Shuo rubbed Bing 'er's little head.
If this was in the past, the little girl would have been a little unhappy. She no longer liked that her big brother treated her like a child. But this time, Bing 'er did not refuse.
Ouyang Shuo squatted down and looked at Bing 'er. He said solemnly, "If Big Brother gets married, not only will he love you as much as before, but he will also have a sister-in-law to love you. Do you understand? "
"Really?" Bing 'er was a little uncertain.
"Pop!"
Ouyang Shuo's head popped. "What? You don't even believe Big Brother's words now? "
"Ouch!"
The little girl held her head and glared at her big brother with dissatisfaction. Her eyes flashed with a little happiness again.
"Write well. Don't be lazy." Ouyang Shuo stood up.
"Oh!" The little girl finally became obedient.
Ouyang Shuo sighed slightly in his heart. "The little girl has grown up. Her thoughts are also heavy."
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo did not know what to feel.
On the 20th of December, Fan Li and his party finally arrived at Shanhai City.
The Black Guards of the Black Snake Guards escorted Fan Li all the way. Apart from Fan Li, there was also a famous person accompanying him. She was one of the four great beauties of ancient China, Xi Shi.
As everyone knew, the four great beauties of ancient China were Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Yang Yuhuan. They had the reputation of "beauty that captivated even the birds and beasts, and outshone the moon and flowers."
'Deep Fish' was the story of Xi Shi and Huansha.
'Wild Goose' was the story of Zhaojun leaving the fortress.
'Moon Closing' was the story of Diao Chan worshipping the moon.
'Bashful Flower' was the story of Yang Yuhuan when she was drunk and looked at flowers.
The legendary beauty finally appeared in the wilderness for the first time, letting the common people admire her peerless beauty.
Even Ouyang Shuo was unable to conceal his curiosity.
Xi Shi was a woman who was washing gauze. Her facial features were regular, and her face was like a peach blossom. When she washed gauze by the river, the clear water reflected her charming figure, making her look even more beautiful. The fish in the water felt that Xi Shi was too beautiful. They all sank to the bottom of the water in shame and did not dare to come out.
This was the origin of 'Deep Fish'.
