Another benefit of the group management strategy was that it could greatly increase the dynasty's financial income. According to the calculations of the Ministry of Finance, when the collectivization strategy was officially implemented, the revenue of the imperial court was expected to double.
With sufficient revenue, the imperial court would be able to improve the welfare of the people, improve the construction of infrastructure, increase investment in education, medical care, and other fields, accelerate industrialization, support the army, and so on.
Only in this way could he continue to strengthen the foundation of the dynasty.
At the same time, the demand for talents in the process of collectivization also increased sharply. One Huaxia Shipping Group had to recruit thousands of elite talents, and the entire collectivization strategy would probably require a scale of hundreds of thousands of people.
Even if they used a certain number of NPCs, the demand for high-end talents was still very high.
This would be a protracted war that would engulf the entire China region, and it would definitely overturn the old talent structure of the China region. Ouyang Shuo had a lot of patience, and he didn't even mind recruiting senior professional managers from other countries.
It was already the era of the Federation. How could one not have an international perspective?
While Ouyang Shuo was laying out his strategy, Shanhai City welcomed three special guests.
The three of them were all from the Wei-Jin Northern and Southern Dynasties. After appearing in the wilderness, they sought refuge in the Great Xia Dynasty for their own reasons. The first person to arrive at Shanhai City was a female general. She was Hua Mulan, who had gone to battle on her father's behalf.
There was no sound of the machine, only the woman's sigh.
…
Ten thousand li to the battlefield, pass the mountain pass as if flying.
The Northern Qi passed to the Golden Centipede, and the cold light shone on the iron cloak.
…
The male rabbit's feet fluttered, and the female rabbit's eyes were blurry.
Two rabbits walking side by side, how can you tell if I am male or female?
The poem "Ode to Mulan" told the story of Hua Mulan's legendary life. It became immortal and became a household name.
Hua Mulan sought refuge in the Great Xia Dynasty. It was obvious that she was after the two female generals, Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying. Of the four great heroines of China, the Xia Dynasty had already won three, leaving only Liang Hongyu, the heroine of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Among the four heroines, Hua Mulan was the only one who came from an ordinary family. Before she went to the battlefield, she was just a weaver. She did not learn any martial arts, but she was able to fight on the cruel battlefield for ten years. Therefore, her experience was even more legendary.
It was precisely because Hua Mulan came from an ordinary family that she resonated with them.
When Hua Mulan returned from the war, she declined the offer of an official position by the imperial court. She was willing to return home to continue taking care of her parents. This was a sublimation and demonstration of China's traditional filial piety.
Therefore, among the four heroines, Hua Mulan was the most ordinary but also the most legendary. She was also the most famous in the future.

In the game, Gaia had enhanced Hua Mulan once to match her status as a Regent General.
Hua Mulan, who had just arrived in Shanhai City, rode a black horse and held a bow in her hand. She looked very heroic. Along with Hua Mulan, Hua Mulan's parents, older sister, younger brother, and the rest of her family also appeared.
Ouyang Shuo received the news and personally met Hua Mulan.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
In the Imperial Study, Hua Mulan had already changed into female clothes. She also performed the etiquette of a commoner and not the etiquette of a general.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed. Hua Mulan had been able to hide her identity as a woman in the army for ten years. She was definitely a careful woman. Although it seemed like a small etiquette, it was actually a declaration of her determination.
Even if she came to the Great Xia Dynasty, Hua Mulan would not have any intention of becoming an official.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "I am very pleased that General has come to join me. I have already ordered people to buy a house in the city. General can bring your family to settle down in the city. It will be better than being homeless in the wilderness."
When Hua Mulan heard this, she looked hesitant. She was a little uncertain.
As the saying went, "One should not accept a reward without doing anything."
If Hua Mulan accepted the house that the King had bestowed upon her, it would be difficult for her to refuse to become an official.
However, if she did not accept it, it would be difficult for Hua Mulan's family to settle down in the city, given how prosperous Shanhai City was and how expensive the property prices were.
Shanhai City was no longer in its initial stage. It was difficult to make a living just by relying on the basic welfare provided by the government office.
Hua Mulan's family made a living by weaving. In Shanhai City, which was the first to introduce weaving machines, they did not have any advantages in skills. It would probably be difficult for them to even provide for a basic living.
"It's not easy to live in a big city," Hua Mulan sighed in her heart.
After the system update, in order to make the historical figures more lively, the historical figures that appeared in the wilderness all brought their families with them.
This also indirectly forced the historical figures to come out as soon as possible. Otherwise, their families would have to starve.
Gaia had spent a lot of resources to evolve historical figures with advanced intelligence. They were not meant to be placed in the wilderness as decorations.
Those historical figures who chose to live in seclusion would not have the opportunity to receive the knowledge of reality because they did not experience the baptism of the territory. They would eventually be eliminated if they did not undergo metamorphosis.
When they arrived at Planet Hope, no Feudal Lord would expend resources to transform them into Bio-Humans.
…
Seeing that Hua Mulan was hesitating, Ouyang Shuo continued, "I know what concerns you have, General. Why don't you listen to my settlement plan first before making a decision?"
With that said, Hua Mulan could no longer refuse. She said, "Your Majesty, please speak!"
Ouyang Shuo said, "The Summer Palace will be guarded by the Imperial Guards. However, the Imperial Guards are all men, so it will be inconvenient for them to enter and leave the harem. I hope that General will step forward and train a group of female palace guards to take over the harem. This way, General, you will not have to leave the military camp and can still provide for your family. What does General think? "
Hua Mulan had been in the military for ten years. She had feelings for the military, so it was impossible for her to really give up. Even when she returned home, Hua Mulan still maintained contact with her colleagues in the military to exchange information.
However, Hua Mulan could not balance her military career and family, so she had no choice but to give up what she loved.
Ouyang Shuo's arrangement was a win-win strategy. When Hua Mulan heard that, she was touched. She cupped her fists and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will carry out your orders." She spoke with confidence and was straightforward.
"I look forward to General training a group of female guards that is different from the others. General, you can discuss the specific arrangements with the Privy Council and the Queen, "Ouyang Shuo said.
As the leader of the harem, Song Jia had the right to ask about the harem guards.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hua Mulan bowed again and took her leave.
Ouyang Shuo's expression was calm, but his mind was full of thoughts. He came up with the idea of female guards because he liked a talent like Hua Mulan. He could not bear to let her waste her youth in front of a loom. Secondly, it was for Bing 'er's safety.
Song Jia was highly skilled in martial arts, so her safety was basically guaranteed. Bing 'er was different. Although the little girl had practiced the top-notch Heart Sutra, it was only a pure inner force. There were no fighting techniques, so she had no combat ability.
Ouyang Shuo was worried that someone would use Bing 'er to make a fuss.
Especially with the emergence of Shaolin, Wudang, and other sects, the situation in Jianghu was changing. There were more and more people in the martial arts world. It was hard to guarantee that someone would not take the risk and kidnap Bing 'er to threaten Ouyang Shuo.
Although there was no real death in the game, Ouyang Shuo did not want Bing 'er to go to the Reincarnation Hall.
…
The second person to arrive at Shanhai City was an old man. He was also a scholar. He was the mathematician Zu Chongzhi.
Zu Chongzhi spent his life studying natural science. His main contributions were in mathematics, astronomy, calendar, and mechanical manufacturing. Zu Chongzhi's most famous achievement in mathematics was the calculation of Pi.
Pi was widely used in astronomy, calendar, and other fields. Any problem that involved a circle had to be calculated using Pi. How to correctly calculate the value of Pi was an important topic in the history of mathematics.
Based on Liu Hui's method of exploring the accuracy of Pi, Zu Chongzhi was the first to calculate Pi to the seventh decimal place, which was between 31415926 and 31415927.
It was not until the sixteenth century that the Arab mathematician, Al-Qasi, broke this record.
Zu Chongzhi's accurate calculation of the value of Pi was a major contribution to China and the world. Later generations named the calculation after him as "Zu Chongzhi's Pi", or "Zu Pi" for short.
In addition to Pi, Zu Chongzhi wrote five volumes of "Sui Shu", which were included in the famous "Ten Arithmetical Classics".
The "Book of Sui" commented on "Sui Shu", saying, "The scholar could not delve into its profoundness, so he abandoned it."
The book believed that the theory of "Sui Shu" was very profound, and the calculation was quite precise. It was difficult for highly learned scholars to understand its content. It was the most difficult book of mathematical theory at that time.
Zu Chongzhi also had a lot of achievements in astronomical calendars. The "Daming Calendar" written by Zu Chongzhi was the most scientific and advanced calendar at that time, and it provided the correct method for astronomical research in later generations.
The most important part of calendar compilation was the calculation of leap weeks.
Zu Chongzhi's leap weeks were extremely precise. According to Zu Chongzhi's calculation, the length of a return year was 365,242,8141 days, which was only 46 seconds away from today's calculation.
In astronomy, Zu Chongzhi also measured the orbital period of the five planets, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. He determined that the orbital period of Jupiter was 11858, and today's measurement was 11862, which was only a difference of 0.0004 years.
In the field of mechanical manufacturing, Zu Chongzhi designed and built novel instruments such as a water roller mill, a bronze compass car, a thousand-mile ship, and a timer.
In addition to his achievements in natural science, Zu Chongzhi was also proficient in music theory, and had done a lot of research on music. He even wrote literary works. He could be said to be an all-rounder.
The reason Zu Chongzhi, a scientific giant, was willing to come to Shanhai City was because of the world-famous Southwest University China Hall. He admired the rich academic atmosphere in the school, and he wanted to devote himself to the study of knowledge, but he had no intention of becoming an official.
Ouyang Shuo did not force him. He personally sent Zu Chongzhi to Southwest University China Hall to take up his post.
