After subduing Pei Donglai, Ouyang Shuo checked his attributes.
[Name]: Pei Donglai (Gold)
[Identity]: Commander of the Shanhai Town Navy
[Occupation]: Mid-level general
[Loyalty]: 80 points
[Commander]: 65 [Martial Power]: 45 [Intelligence]: 40 [Politics]: 35
[Specialty]: Wave Treading (Increases troop's mobility by 10 points in water battles), Shark Catching (Increases troop's combat power by 20 points after activation, lasts for 20 minutes)
[Technique]: Wave Saber Technique (Eighteen Moves)
[Equipment]: Ring Saber
[Evaluation]: Former general of the imperial army, then turned to water bandits. Proficient in water battles, good at training troops.
From Pei Donglai's attributes, his Commander points were as high as 65 points, but his Martial Power was only 45 points. He was more of a commander-type intermediate general. This was actually a good thing for the navy general. After all, in water battles, there weren't many opportunities for close combat. Instead, it was important to be a commander.
During the time Ouyang Shuo was receiving Pei Donglai, the aftermath of the battle had been carried out in an orderly manner. The non-combatants of the water bandits rushed to the square in front of Ju Yi Hall one after another, all panicking. The results of the captives had also been reported to Ouyang Shuo.
After the battle, including the captives from the garrison of Ju Yi Hall, the water bandits had captured a total of 308 water bandits. Among them, there were 48 elite water bandits and 260 ordinary water bandits.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said to Pei Donglai, "General Pei, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with these captives?"
"Everything is up to you, sir." Pei Donglai was a new recruit, so he was still a bit reserved. It wasn't appropriate for him to express his opinion, especially on such a sensitive matter as dealing with the captives.
"Ah, General, don't be so reserved. How about this, I'll set a principle. There are three ways to deal with these captives. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be beheaded. Those with bad behavior will be sent to the quarry for a year. Those who perform well will be free citizens of Shanhai Town after that. The rest of the people will be incorporated into the Shanhai Town navy and trained by the general. In addition, I've heard from Leng Qian that all of your direct subordinates are good men and can be incorporated into the Shanhai Town navy. I'm sure you know the characters of these captives better than I do. Therefore, I will entrust the matter of selecting prisoners of war to you, "Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.
Pei Donglai was very grateful for Ouyang Shuo's trust. "Thank you for your trust, Sir. I will definitely not let you down!"
After handing over the matter of dealing with the prisoners of war to Pei Donglai, Ouyang Shuo began to deal with the ordinary residents gathered in the plaza.
According to statistics, there were a total of 435 ordinary residents in the water stockade. Most of them were fishermen, sailors, the elderly, women, children, or skilled people.
Ouyang Shuo would naturally deal with such people leniently. Apart from the evil family members of the water snakes, who were demoted to slaves, the rest of the people were given the status of free residents of the Mountain Sea Town.
Ouyang Shuo arranged for Lin Yi to lead the cavalry and Zhang Da Niu to lead the infantry team to escort the prisoners and civilians back to Shanhai Town. At the same time, he arranged for a fast horse to inform the Supplies Reserve Department and the Finance Department to send people to check the water stockaded goods and transport them back to Shanhai Town.
After informing Ouyang Shuo of the various hidden treasure spots in the water stockade, Pei Donglai also left with the main group. He had to return to Shanhai Town to cooperate with the Census Bureau in screening the prisoners of war.
At two in the afternoon, the Supplies Reserve Department and the Finance Department brought a large number of wooden oxen to the water stockade. With Pei Donglai's guidance, the transport of goods was very smooth. Ouyang Shuo once again used the spirit of Zhou Pi and moved the entire water stockade clean.
Finally, Ouyang Shuo walked into the Juyi Hall and saw the raised stone tablet. He didn't hesitate and pressed his hand on the stone tablet. A series of system notifications sounded.
"System notification: Congratulations player Who Says Nothing has destroyed a high level water stockade. Please choose how you would like to deal with the water stockade: Take it, transfer it, or destroy it?"
"Destroy it!" Ouyang Shuo didn't want to leave any hope for the pirates and chose to destroy it.
"System notification: Player Who Says Nothing has chosen to destroy a high level water stockade, randomly obtaining 20 blueprints of the water stockade and 20 building materials for all the buildings in the water stockade."
"System notification: Congratulations player Who Says Nothing has obtained the dock blueprints, dojo blueprints, potion shop blueprints, and relay station blueprints. Reward: 8000 units of wood, 2000 units of stone."
"System notification: Congratulations player Who Says Nothing has successfully destroyed a high level water stockade, reward: 500 achievement points, 1000 reputation points."
Not bad. Among the four blueprints, the potion shop and relay station were the basic buildings of a level two town. He could use them and save 100 gold.
After destroying the water stockade, Ouyang Shuo left Zhao Sihu to work with the Supplies Reserve Department and the Finance Department to transport the goods while he left on his horse.
February 28th, January 9th, Shanhai Town Conference Hall.
Ouyang Shuo was in charge of the meeting. Fan Zhongyan, Tian Wenjing, and Cui Yingyou, Beihai Village's Gu Xiuwen and Zhou Feng, and the military representatives Shi Wansui, Lin Yi, Pei Donglai, and Zhao Sihu.
Tian Wenjing was the first to speak, "We have obtained a large amount of goods from the water stockade battle. I have been entrusted by the Lord to make a simple announcement. Money: 728 Gold Coins, 57 Silver Coins, 49 Copper Coins, 12 Architectural Blueprints, 1 Special Item Territory Characteristic Scroll, 4 Civil Official Job Change Tokens, and 1 Radiant Armor Forging Technique Manual. The rest of the basic goods and weapons are not included in this announcement. "
Ouyang Shuo already had a plan for this batch of goods. He would take 700 gold and give the rest to the Finance Department to ease the financial pressure. Of the 12 blueprints, other than the relay station, the potion shop, and the alchemy workshop, which could be used in the level two town, the rest would be sold to the primary market. After deducting 20% of the transaction tax, he would get 40 gold.
Of the special items, the territory characteristic scroll could be used directly, and the Radiant Armor Forging Technique Manual would be given to the weapons workshop.
[Territory characteristic scroll] (4): After use, production skills will increase by 5%.
[Radiant Armor Forging Technique Manual]: After use, the user will automatically grasp the forging technique.
Ouyang Shuo looked at the three chiefs and said, "There are four Civil Official Job Change Tokens. Each of you can recommend a chief. We'll decide on the last token."
Fan Zhongyan was the most relaxed. Of the five directors, only the director of construction Zhao Dewang wasn't a civil official, so he could only recommend him. Cui Yingyou chose Qian Lifei, the director of the tax bureau, and Yang Yun, the director of the Four Seas Bank. After all, he was the director of the seal bureau.
The most difficult one was Tian Wenjing. The three directors of the Resource Reserve Bureau, Du Xiaolan, Zheng Shanpao, and Zhao Youfang, as well as the deputy director of the Salt Bureau, Shen Zhui, hadn't changed jobs yet. In the end, Tian Wenjing chose Zheng Shanpao. The reason was simple. In the last year-end assessment, only the Transportation Bureau didn't make any mistakes. The two directors of the Resource Department and the War Preparation Department were fined their salaries.
Ouyang Shuo didn't make any comments on the three directors' choices. "Okay, Zhao Dewang, Qian Lifei, Zheng Shanpao. I think the last position should be given to Shen Zhui of the Salt Bureau."
He had also noticed that compared to the high standard of the Administrative Department, the officers of the Resource Reserve Bureau seemed to be lacking. Therefore, he gave the last position to the Resource Reserve Bureau. As for why he chose Shen Zhui instead of Du Xiaolan or Zhao Youfang, the reason was the same as Tian Wenjing's.
Zhao Youfang, the potential talent that Ouyang Shuo thought highly of, had missed an important opportunity again. If he didn't perform well in the future, then he would gradually fade from Ouyang Shuo's sight.
After distributing the civil officials' job change tokens, Ouyang Shuo looked at Pei Donglai and said with a smile, "General Pei, please report the work of screening the prisoners of war."
Pei Donglai stood up and saluted before saying, "I was entrusted by Sir to be in charge of screening the prisoners of war. Among the three hundred and eight prisoners of war, eight have committed the most heinous crimes, and one hundred and twenty have bad conduct. "
"Very good, according to the rules I set before. The military will be responsible for the execution of the eight heinous crimes, and the one hundred and twenty with bad conduct will serve in the quarry for a year. The remaining one hundred and eighty people, together with the twenty militia recruited by the North Sea Village, can be used to form two marine squadrons. "Ouyang Shuo said casually.
Ouyang Shuo was fully prepared to delegate the power to form the two marine squadrons. He continued, "General Pei, you can choose the twenty squad leaders for the marine squadrons. Just report to me for the record. In addition, General Pei can recommend another squad leader candidate. "
Giving such trust to a surrendered general could be said to be extremely benevolent. Pei Donglai was naturally moved to tears and said emotionally, "This general will definitely not disappoint Sir and train an elite marine army for Shanhai Town."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Zhou Feng!"
"Yes!"
"I appoint you as General Pei's assistant and acting captain of the first marine squadron. You will follow the general and learn how to train the navy. When you reach the ninth rank and become a general, I will appoint you as a squadron leader. " Although he was very confident in Pei Donglai, he still needed to arrange for someone to keep him in check. Zhou Feng, a young general that he had high hopes for, was undoubtedly the most suitable.
"Many thanks for the promotion, Sir. I will definitely not disappoint you!"
After making arrangements for the marine army, Ouyang Shuo looked at Gu Xiuwen, "How many people does North Sea Village have now?"
"Reporting to Sir, North Sea Village was promoted to a third rank village yesterday and has a population of 512." Gu Xiuwen said proudly.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "We unexpectedly obtained a large number of people from the eradication of the water bandits. Of the four hundred and thirty-five ordinary residents, leave some to satisfy Shanhai Town's promotion to a second rank village tomorrow. The rest will all be sent to North Sea Village. In this way, North Sea Village will soon have a full population of one thousand people. Xiuwen, you must prepare to be promoted to a first rank village at any time. "
"Yes!" Gu Xiuwen said excitedly.
