When he logged off the next day, Song Jia called Ouyang Shuo again.
"Hey, Blockhead, the method you mentioned is really useful. My big brother has already purchased a Level 3 village in Lingnan. It's called Sky Frost Village! "Song Jia said happily.
"Congratulations, a Level 3 village is already quite amazing. How much money did you spend?" Song Wen was quite fast. In just a day, he had already settled the territory.
Ouyang Shuo wasn't surprised that Song Wen had chosen the Lingnan region. Many Lord level players liked to establish their territories in areas that corresponded to the real world.
"Guess," Song Jia said mischievously.
Ouyang Shuo converted the Level 3 village to gold and gave a rough estimate, "Ten million?"
Song Jia shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Add another zero."
"Ah? No way, that much? "Ouyang Shuo couldn't believe it.
"It's all my big brother's fault for being too impatient. He wanted to buy it immediately. In the end, the other party demanded an exorbitant price, but he didn't even try to bargain and bought it. He even looked like he got a bargain, "Song Jia said.
Wouldn't that be a bargain? Ouyang Shuo thought to himself. Exchanging Credits that would soon become invalid for a Level 3 Village was a sure win. No wonder the commoner lords in his previous life all fell. These medium-sized powers really weren't careless, spending a hundred million at once. If Ouyang Shuo was willing to sell Shanhai Town, then getting ten billion would be an easy matter. Unfortunately, this was impossible.
Ouyang Shuo smiled, "No matter what, it's a success. Your family doesn't lack money anyways."
"What? Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this!" It could be assumed that the Song Clan still had some reservations towards a female member like Song Jia and didn't tell her the entire inside story. Up until now, Song Jia still thought that this was just a game. What a naive girl.
Ouyang Shuo didn't dwell on this sensitive topic for too long. Instead, he asked, "Did you also move to the Heavenly Frost Village?"
"Yeah, I'm finally free. You don't know how much pressure I feel when I wear the equipment you gave me to level up. I'm afraid that I'll be targeted by someone with bad intentions. "
"Oh right, I suggest you switch to free mode for that Yue Nu Swordplay Manual." Ouyang Shuo suddenly remembered that Song Jia still didn't understand the secret of the swordplay code. He was afraid that she would waste this opportunity, so he specially instructed her.
"Alright, I also feel that this swordsmanship manual is quite interesting."
"That's good!"
"That's right. My big brother said that he wanted to thank you properly. He even said that he wanted to give you a million tips, but I stopped him. He wants to treat you to a meal. How about it? Do you want to go? "Song Jia asked.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head. He didn't want to be too close to the Song Consortium in reality. He said tactfully, "Forget about the meal. I was just saying. It's not much help."
"I knew you wouldn't agree. You won't reject my invitation, right? "
"Since the beauty is treating me, of course I'll be there anytime!"
"That's settled then. I haven't washed up yet. Bye bye!"
"Bye bye!" Ouyang Shuo hung up the phone and walked out of the room.
Today was Saturday, and Bing'er was sleeping in again. On the other hand, Sun Xiaoyue had just logged off because she was playing games. She was wearing her pajamas and was about to wash up when she bumped into Ouyang Shuo at the door.
"How was it? Did it go well in the game?" Ouyang Shuo casually asked.
"Yeah, it was really fun. The things taught in Royal City's architecture school are very professional. It's all knowledge about China's ancient architecture. I feel that it's even more detailed than the information in our school's library. Gaia really is too powerful. Originally, I was just playing around, but after a few classes, I was completely fascinated. "Sun Xiaoyue said with great interest.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Then learn well. In the future, restore those ancient buildings one by one in the territory."
"Really?" Xiaoyue asked in pleasant surprise.
"Of course. As long as you draw the blueprints, I promise to build it for you. A future master architect!"
"Hee hee, then it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
After Sun Xiaoyue washed up, Ouyang Shuo turned around and walked into Bing'er's room. This child was really lazy. She clearly slept at 9: 30 last night. What a lazy little pig.
The little girl slept sweetly. The pocket-sized Snow was lying in Bing'er's arms, looking extremely cute. As a top artificial intelligence pet, Snow was much more vigilant than Bing'er. She woke up the moment Ouyang Shuo entered.
After spending some time together, Snow and Ouyang Shuo were already very familiar with each other. She flew lightly into Ouyang Shuo's palm. Ouyang Shuo used his thumb to rub Snow's little face and asked with a smile, "Snow, do you think your little master is a lazy little pig?"
Snow nodded cutely and said crisply, "Yep, a little pig."
Bing'er happened to be woken up by the noise. When she heard this, she muttered, "Bad Snow, little traitor!"
Ouyang Shuo pinched the little girl's nose and said, "Darling, wake up quickly. Go jogging with big brother today. Train your body and breathe in some fresh air. "
"And bad big brother, waking up Bing'er so early in the morning." The little girl clearly hadn't woken up yet. She called everyone bad. This time, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to spoil her and forced her to wake up.
Under Ouyang Shuo's coercion, the poor Bing'er could only obediently get up and wash up. Snow followed behind her. Her little master had heard her bad words just now, so of course she had to run over and comfort her little master.
Hearing that Ouyang Shuo was going to take Bing'er jogging, Xiaoyue also became interested. Thus, on the green path downstairs of the residential area, there appeared such a combination of two adults and one child. Those who didn't know better would think that they were a family of three. Oh, there was also a pocket-sized artificial intelligence pet. It flew around the three of them. It was extremely comfortable.
Bing'er followed behind her big brother. As she jogged, she looked at the flying Snow and said enviously, "If only Bing'er could fly like Snow."
Ouyang Shuo laughed and shook his head, ignoring the little girl's imagination.
Because it happened to be the weekend, Ouyang Shuo specially declined Song Jia's invitation to dinner and changed it to the next Monday at noon. In the day, he accompanied Bing'er to watch TV at home in the morning and accompanied her to do homework in the afternoon. He hadn't accompanied the little girl to do homework in a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
On the 26th of March, Ouyang Shuo went online on time. As usual, he practiced the Big Spear Training and Eight Extremities Fist in the courtyard for two hours. After a short break, he walked into the office.
On the office desk, there was an official letter sent over by Pool Town in the morning. Ouyang Shuo opened it and saw that it was a letter from Zhang Daniu, the Garrison General of Pool Town.
In the letter, Zhang Daniu wrote that since Pool Town had been promoted to a first-class town, he requested for the Garrison Squadron to be expanded to 200 people to handle the more arduous garrison tasks.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. Such a request was reasonable and he had no reason to reject it. He picked up his pen and wrote at the back of the letter: Pool Town is allowed to expand to a cavalry squadron. The selection of the squadron leader will be approved by the Military Affairs Department. The expenses will be covered by oneself.
After he finished writing, Ouyang Shuo called the concierge and asked him to send the letter to the Military Affairs Department. When he was handling the official letter, Ouyang Shuo realized that with the increasing number of official documents sent to him, it was time to appoint a full-time clerk to assist him in handling the daily administrative affairs.
Ouyang Shuo called Du Quan, the chief officer of the Household Registration Department, to his office. He asked him to help him find a clerk from the new refugees. This was also a test of the new director's foresight. Du Quan was naturally aware of this. He nodded and promised that he would find a suitable clerk for his Lord.
In reality, the position of a clerk was not simple. Although the position was small and inconspicuous, it had the opportunity to get in touch with the core affairs of the territory. It was a very good position to gain experience. Correspondingly, the requirements for the clerk's abilities were naturally not ordinary. Not only did the clerk have to have strong administrative skills, but they also had to have a certain level of strategy. They had to be able to give targeted suggestions or opinions for the Lord's reference.
Many famous Prime Ministers in history had started their careers as clerks. For example, the famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, used to be a clerk in the Qin Residence for a long time.
The first clerk of Shanhai Village, Gu Xiuwen, also did a good job. Even after Ouyang Shuo arranged for him to work in the Household Registration Department, he still worked part-time as a clerk. This made Ouyang Shuo very satisfied. Ever since Gu Xiuwen was assigned to Beihai Village, Ouyang Shuo had been lacking such a person.
The next day, Du Quan found a candidate for the clerk. The two of them walked into Ouyang Shuo's office one after the other.
After Du Quan bowed, he said happily, "Reporting to my Lord. Among the new refugees today, there is a young High Scholar. I have investigated him and believe that he is qualified to be a clerk. I have specially brought him here to pay my respects to my Lord. Please examine him personally. "
At this time, the scholar walked out from behind Du Quan. He bowed and said respectfully, "I am Bai Nanpu. I pay my respects to my Lord!"
Bai Nanpu looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He wore a white scholar's robe. His hair was like a knife, and his eyebrows were like swords. His appearance was dignified, and he had the air of a scholar.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. His first impression of Bai Nanpu was very good. In order to further understand him, Ouyang Shuo looked at Bai Nanpu's attributes.
[Name]: Bai Nanpu (Gold)
[Identity]: Shanhai Village Clerk
[Occupation]: Civil Official (High Scholar)

[Remarks]: A scholar from a poor family, well-read, has a good sense of strategy, and is a modest gentleman.
He was indeed a good talent. Ouyang Shuo said with satisfaction, "Very good. I will appoint you as Shanhai Village's clerk. You will assist me in handling documents."
"Thank you for your promotion, my Lord. I will not let you down!"
