After sending Kou Zhun off, Ouyang Shuo finally had the time to check Shanhai City's stats.

After checking Shanhai City's stats, Ouyang Shuo's first impression was that it was concise. It had the feeling of 'going from simple to complex, and then from complex back to simple'.
After being promoted to a capital city, there was no population limit, and there was no longer any need for refugees to spawn. There was no list of basic buildings, and it was up to the Overlord to build whatever he wanted. There were no more restrictions, and it was up to the Overlord to decide.
The only things that remained unchanged were the five attributes of the territory. They silently reflected the territory's construction achievements.
The benefits of being promoted to a capital city were not reflected on the stats panel. Using the territory's population as an example, Shanhai City no longer spawned refugees, but the entire territory began to spawn refugees.
According to Gaia's settings, after being promoted to a capital city, the county cities, county cities, towns, and natural villages below it would be based on a fifth of the number of refugees spawned at the same level. It would spawn a fixed number of refugees every day.
Using the South Chuannan Province's Xunzhou County's Tianjing City as an example, as a county city, it would spawn 500 (1 + 50) 20 = 150 people per day under the augmentation of the territory's characteristics.
According to this calculation, a county city (including a prefecture city) would spawn 60 people per day, a town would spawn 15 people per day, and a natural village would spawn 3 people per day.
Although the number of refugees spawned was not many, it was still a considerable number accumulated over time.
With the vastness of Shanhai City's territory, the growth of the territory's population would be even more astonishing. There would be an increase of 50,000 refugees every day.
What did it mean to add 50,000 refugees every day?
Based on the current territory alone, there would be an increase of 18 million people every year. In four years, the territory's population would exceed the 100 million mark, catching up to the population of the Ming Dynasty at its peak.
Without a doubt, this was the greatest reward of being promoted to a capital city. The other rewards such as achievement points, hidden buildings, god-level summoning talismans, the Twelve Gold Colossi, and the satellite cities were not comparable to this.
The earlier they became a capital city, the stronger their foundation would be compared to the other territories. It was no wonder that the merit requirement for a duke was five times that of a first-rank marquis. It was because the capital city and the non-capital city were two completely different domains.
One was in the sky, the other was on the ground.
With this alone, Ouyang Shuo had the confidence to wrestle with the Silver Hand.
Even if Di Chen and the others recruited more players to settle in their territory, they would not be able to keep up with the spawning speed of Shanhai City's refugees. Not to mention, with a large number of refugees as a foundation, Ouyang Shuo could also increase the number of players he attracted.
In the future, even in terms of plundering players, the [Yan Huang Alliance] wouldn't be able to compare to Shanhai City. This was equivalent to cutting off one of the pillars of the [Yan Huang Alliance], causing it to be on the verge of collapse.
No matter how many tricks Di Chen and the others played, they could not compare to Ouyang Shuo's righteous attack.
This was the way of the king!
Ouyang Shuo closed the status panel and stood up to leave the main hall. He wanted to go to the newly spawned hidden building [Tower of Ten Thousand Names] and use the first summoning opportunity to summon an honest official.
Seeing that the territory was about to be established, Ouyang Shuo would not mind even if there were more civil officials.
The Tower of Ten Thousand Names was located in the northeast corner of the capital, next to the General Stage. Behind it was the [True Dragon Pool], which was also a building.
The Recruitment Hall, the Silver Prayer Tower, the General Stage, the Tower of Ten Thousand Names, and the True Dragon Pool. These five hidden buildings were lined up in a row, creating a spectacular sight.
After seeing so many of them, Ouyang Shuo became calm.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player [Who Has No Clothes] for unlocking the Tower of Ten Thousand Names. This is the first time the Tower of Ten Thousand Names has been unlocked, you will automatically receive a chance to recruit an honest official. Do you want to recruit?"
"Yes!"
A white light flashed, and a burly and slightly plump old man appeared. Although he was called an old man, he was probably in his fifties. He had a warm smile on his face, and he gave off an amiable feeling at first sight.
"This humble subject Di Huaiying pays respect to the Lord!"
Ouyang Shuo was slightly taken aback, and then a bright smile flashed across his face.
He actually managed to recruit the Di Renjie of his dreams on the first recruitment. Ouyang Shuo was now truly convinced that after the two evolutions of his Dragon of Destiny, he was also a person with a 'deep source of fortune'.
This luck couldn't be too good.
Ouyang Shuo came back to his senses and helped Di Renjie up, saying, "Grandpa Di, please rise!" With that, Ouyang Shuo personally led Di Renjie out of the Tower of Ten Thousand Names and back to the Protectorate.
Di Renjie was born in the Di Clan of Taiyuan. In his early years, he ranked first in the Ming Classics. He successively held the positions of Bian Prefecture's Judge, Bing Prefecture's Governor's Office, Minister of the Supreme Court, Imperial Censor, Minister of Duzhi, Governor of Ning Prefecture, Assistant Minister of Winter, Right Minister of Wenchang, Governor of Yu Prefecture, Governor of Fu Prefecture, and Minister of Luo Prefecture. He was known for not fearing the nobles.
In the ninth month of the second year of Heaven's Gift, Di Renjie was promoted to the position of Prime Minister, Assistant Minister of Prefectures, Assistant Minister of Prefectures, Minister of Prefectures, Minister of Prefectures, Minister of Prefectures, Minister of Prefectures, Minister of Prefectures, and Minister of Prefectures.
Di Renjie was reinstated during the Yingzhou Rebellion, and in the first year of Shenggong, he became the Prime Minister again, Assistant Minister of Luantai and Minister of Prefectures. Later on, he urged Wu Zetian to restore the Prince of Luling, Li Xian, as the Crown Prince, allowing the Tang Dynasty to continue.
It was said that Di Renjie was a god in judging cases, and there wasn't a single case that was unjust.
When Di Renjie first took up his post in the Supreme Court, there were a lot of cases in the Supreme Court. He devoted himself to his work, writing day and night, and after a whole year of hard work, he cleared the backlog of cases. There were more than 17000 people involved in the cases, but not a single person cried out for help after the case was over.
The large number of cases and the high quality of the cases were well known at that time.
That was how he became known as the Godly Detective.
On the way, Ouyang Shuo checked Di Renjie's attributes.
[Name]: Di Renjie (God Level)
[Title]: One of the Ten Famous Ministers in History
[Dynasty]: Tang Dynasty (Wu Zhou)
[Identity]: Shanhai City Official
[Occupation]: Civil Official
[Loyalty]: 70
[Commander]: 75 [Martial Strength]: 48 [Intelligence]: 98 [Politics]: 95
[Specialty]: Godly Detective Minister (Increases the territory's incorruptibility by 40, increases the territory's efficiency by 25, increases the territory's ability to solve cases by 55, increases the territory's ability to govern officials by 20)
[Book]: Family Style
[Evaluation]: Di Renjie was born with the righteousness of the five elements, raised the Nine Remonstrances, and was able to bring peace to the throne. He flowed to Hebei, and his name spread far and wide. He only served the Emperor and had a clear conscience. He used his portrait to show his kindness. He discussed the Dao and the state, and held the position of a Zhou official. His chastity and resolute spirit made the shrine of Wei's land shine brightly.
Another God-level civil official. He was indeed powerful!
Not only was Di Renjie a Godly Detective, but he was also a famous minister. He was even one of the Ten Famous Ministers in history. Di Renjie was famous for his ability to solve cases like a god. He had not been a Prime Minister for long.
If Ouyang Shuo invited Di Renjie to the Cabinet, it would be a waste of his talent.
Ouyang Shuo's idea was to arrange for Di Renjie to enter the Internal Affairs Department and work with Wei Yang, the legalist. He would be in charge of the Disciplinary Bureau and would be responsible for the trial of cases in the territory.
The details would have to be discussed later.
As for the other hidden building, the True Dragon Pool, Ouyang Shuo was prepared to give the first chance to Zhao Sihu, the deputy commander of the First Legion of the City Guards. He hoped that Zhao Sihu could use this opportunity to break through to the King level.
Luo Shixin, the young general, was also on the verge of breaking through and could become an Emperor level general at any time. However, Luo Shixin was far away in Dongchuan County, so he could only wait for the next month.
It was already noon when Ouyang Shuo settled Di Renjie down. After accompanying Di Renjie and Kou Zhun for lunch, Ouyang Shuo returned to his study alone.
Shanhai City had already been promoted to a capital city. Ouyang Shuo did not want to immediately apply for the establishment of a nation.
Establishing a nation would definitely have a mission. There were still many matters in the territory that had not been settled yet. Ouyang Shuo did not want to make a hasty application at this time, lest he became flustered when the time came.
Not to mention the distant matters, Ouyang Shuo had not had the time to deal with the newly conquered Minnan Province, the Land of Remembrance. Before establishing a nation, he had to stabilize the province in order to be at ease.
There was also the newly created satellite city that needed to be settled properly.
Just as Ouyang Shuo was about to summon Jiang Shang, Xiao He, and the others to discuss the candidates for the four Prefectural Governors, a report suddenly came in from outside, saying that someone was requesting an audience.
"Who is it?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
The person who came in to report was the captain of the imperial bodyguards, Xu Chu. This burly man's face unexpectedly showed a rare expression of excitement. He said, "Reporting to my lord, Mr. Wen Ruo has come to visit."
The tone of their conversation was quite intimate. It seemed that the visitor was someone who was close to Xu Chu.
"Wen Ruo?"
Ouyang Shuo did not react for a moment. This should be a person's name.
Xu Chu smiled honestly, patted his head, and said, "It's Mr. Xun Yu."
"It's him?!" Ouyang Shuo was shocked. He said, "Quickly invite Mr. Xun Yu to the study for a chat." After a pause, he stood up and left his seat. He said, "No, it's better for me to personally welcome him outside the door."
Xun Yu's visit at this time must be because he was preparing to become an official in Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo did not expect that Shanhai City would attract such a great talent as soon as it was promoted to a capital city. It was really a good start.
As the news of Shanhai City's promotion to a capital city spread, more talents would come because of its reputation. When Shanhai City was established, there would be even more people willing to become officials in Shanhai City.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't neglect anyone, let alone Xun Yu, who was such a talented person.
