Chapter 313

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the second system auction came to an end.

Among the ten auction items, Ouyang Shuo took four of them alone. He won the Silver Level Village Building Token, "Ming Dynasty Warship Manufacturing Technical Manual", Fusion Token and "Gunpowder Manufacturing Technical Manual" in one fell swoop.

In addition, Lin Jing won the seven-star Dragon Yuan, and Bai Hua won the "Technical Manual for Siege Equipment Manufacturing".

Shanhaimeng once again shined brilliantly and won the bulk of the auction.

Di Chen won the "Mountain Armor Manufacturing Technique Manual", Zhan Lang won the "Chain Mail Manufacturing Technique Manual", Bloody Romance won the "Secret Realm Exploration Scroll", and the mysterious player won the "Air Trainer Hidden Job Transfer Scroll".

After this battle, the armor level of the Yanhuang League will usher in a leapfrog improvement. As for Yijian Xilai and Chun Shenjun's tragic experience, no one will sympathize.

It is only natural that the one with the highest price will get it.

Ouyang Shuo participated in the auction with 120,000 gold coins, but only 3,000 gold coins were left. Next year's auction, I don't know how intense it will be.

***********

After the auction was over, Ouyang Shuo returned to the territory directly. As for investigating the inside story of the assassination in Kyoto, he would not be able to free himself until he finished dealing with the matter at hand.

No matter who is behind the scenes, Ouyang Shuo will take revenge on [Blood Blade]. [Blood Blade] Since you dare to choose him as the object of world fame, you must be prepared to bear the bloody revenge of Shanhai City.

Back in the territory, Ouyang Shuo gave the "Ming Dynasty Warship Manufacturing Technical Manual" to the Beihai Shipyard for use, and the "Gunpowder Manufacturing Technical Manual" to the No. 7 Institute for use.

With these two technical manuals, the North Sea Fleet will usher in a qualitative leap.

The fusion token was used to fuse the three black iron level village building tokens separated from Yushui County. In this way, in Ouyang Shuo's storage bag, there are four village building tokens available for fusion.

As for the village building token, we have to wait until the work at hand is finished before dealing with it.

Ouyang Shuo had already planned the location of the village.

After everything was settled properly, it was already evening, and Ouyang Shuo returned to the Hou's mansion.

The next day, Ouyang Shuo went directly to the recruiting hall, preparing to recruit a historical figure.

The one-year cool-down period in the recruiting hall made Ouyang Shuo a happy and painful person.

As for the monthly recruitment of special talents, it is already a drop in the bucket for the territory, which is insignificant. Among the refugees that Shanhai City generates every day, there is not only one high-level skilled person.

The annual system update has added the setting of aboriginal qualifications, and a new sub-item appears on the lord interface, where you can view talents with various qualifications in the territory.

Ouyang Shuo only pays attention to first-class talents.

Not surprisingly, Cui Yingyou, Cui Shousi, Gu Xiuwen, Zhou Haichen, Zhao Sihu, Wang Feng, Sun Tengjiao and others were impressively listed, and some key talents were basically first-class qualifications.

And people like Zhao Dewang, Zhao Youfang, Du Quan, Qian Lifei, Du Xiaolan, etc., only have B-level qualifications. Zhang Daniu, Song San, Zheng Shanpao, and others only had Class C qualifications, which made them feel embarrassed.

Generally speaking, the appointment and dismissal of talents in Shanhai Ling can be regarded as giving full play to their talents.

Ouyang Shuo pushed open the door of the recruiting hall, went straight to the teleportation array, pressed his palm on the depression of the wooden sign, and a system prompt sounded.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for opening the recruiting hall. The recruiting hall still has a chance to recruit special talents and a chance to recruit historical talents. Do you want to recruit?"

"Recruiting historical talents!"

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for successfully recruiting an emperor-level historical figure—Du Ruhui. 100 gold coins will be deducted automatically."

A white light flashed, and a middle-aged scribe came out from the teleportation array, "Keming greets the lord!"

Du Ruhui, it turned out to be Du Ruhui!

Isn't this the kind of talent Ouyang Shuo has been longing for? It is really unforgettable, and there will be echoes.

Ouyang Shuo hurriedly took a step forward, clapped his hands up, and said sincerely, "Sir, please get up quickly!"

As an important staff officer under Li Shimin's account during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Shimin recruited Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, and Du Ruhui planned and strategized for him.

During the Zhenguan period, Du Ruhui served as the right minister and concurrently the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The Du Ruhui in front of him was in his heyday. The only concern may be his body. In history, Du Ruhui fell ill in the fourth year of Zhenguan and died unfortunately at the age of forty-six.

Du Ruhui had a heroic face, but his cheeks were a little thin, as if cut by a knife, his lines were tough and stern, his eyes were piercing, deep and unfathomable.

When he walked out of the teleportation formation, Du Ruhui couldn't help coughing, his body was slightly hunched, obviously he was ill.

Ouyang Shuo's heart sank, and there was a flash of worry.

Taking Du Ruhui out of the talent recruitment hall, Ouyang Shuo checked his attributes by the way.

[Name]: Du Ruhui (imperial level)

【Dynasty】: Sui and Tang Dynasties

[Identity]: Resident of Shanhai City

[Occupation]: civil servant

[Loyalty]: 75 points

[Commander]: 75 [Force]: 40 [Intelligence]: 75 [Politics]: 85

[Specialty]: Immediate decision-making (increase the efficiency of territorial affairs by 20%), foresight (increase the success rate of strategies by 25%), Wang Zuozhi (increase the level of territorial governance by 10%)

[Evaluation]: The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are ranked third. They are intelligent and knowledgeable. He is a person who can be a pillar of talent, seeks a long-distance plan, prepares curtains, and dominates the plan; or learns comprehensive classics, has a virtuous model, is brilliant, hidden and guilty, and is loyal and heard every day.

Compared with Fang Xuanling, a famous prime minister of the generation, Du Ruhui's reputation is weaker, and it is not unrelated to his early death. In terms of ability, the two are actually on par.

One is good at strategizing, and the other is good at making decisions, so it is called "Fang Mou Du Ju".

The arrival of Du Ruhui gave Ouyang Shuo a shot in the arm.

Ouyang Shuo led Du Ruhui to the study, and personally introduced him to the situation of the territory, detailing everything.

Du Ruhui quickly entered the role, he didn't blindly be a listener, and would ask some interesting questions from time to time, and Ouyang Shuo answered them one by one.

In less than an hour, the two monarchs and ministers had already talked intensively.

"Keming, I want you to be in charge of the Military Affairs Department, what do you want?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

Du Ruhui nodded thoughtfully.

From the conversation just now, Du Ruhui has vaguely noticed that Junhou is worried about the imbalance within the military. The Military Affairs Administration was unable to establish authority, and was unable to form a check and balance with the general in charge of military affairs, Bai Qi. Even the three master regiments were not necessarily tame, which was undoubtedly a very dangerous signal.

Taking charge of the Military Affairs Administration is a huge challenge.

Not to mention the well-known general Bai Qi, Shi Wansui, E Lai, and Luo Shixin, which one of them is Yi Yi's generation, it is not easy to smooth out the relationship between the army and form a new balance .

As for the feelings of Ge Hongliang, the current Director of Military Affairs, Du Ruhui didn't think much about it. He knew very well that since the junhou made such an arrangement, he would never be aimless, and he didn't need to worry about it as a courtier.

Du Ruhui didn't expect that it would be so interesting once he came to the territory, he was not afraid of challenges.

"Please don't worry, Junhou, Keming will never let you down!" Du Ruhui replied.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, this is Du Ruhui, who acts decisively and never drags his feet.

Next, the two had another in-depth communication on the restructuring of the Military Affairs Department.

Apart from the subjective factor of "Ge Hongliang's limited ability", the reason why the Military Affairs Administration is not worthy of its name is also due to the institutional setup of the Military Affairs Administration.

There are four divisions under the Military Affairs Administration, namely the Military Information Division, the Combat Readiness Division, the Jiafang Division and the Bow and Crossbow Division. Among the four divisions, the Military Intelligence Division is responsible for military intelligence, and the Combat Readiness Division, Jiafang Division, and Bow and Crossbow Division are all responsible for logistics.

Among the four divisions, none of them was really responsible for combat dispatch and command. No wonder the generals in the military think that the Military Affairs Administration is a logistics department.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to take this opportunity to adjust the structure of the Military Affairs Department.

Du Ruhui used to be in charge of the Ministry of War, so he naturally had a say in the Military Affairs Administration, which had similar responsibilities to the Ministry of War. Many of his suggestions and opinions made Ouyang Shuo's eyes shine and he benefited a lot.

In the morning, the two had basically finalized the new structure of the Military Affairs Administration.

***********

In the afternoon of that day, Ouyang Shuo summoned General Bai Qi and other officials from the Military Affairs Department to discuss the matter.

In the conference hall, Ouyang Shuo was at the top, and Du Ruhui was sitting first on the right. After Bai Qi came in, he naturally sat in the first position on the left.

Next came Ge Hongliang and the four directors.

Seeing Du Ruhui, Ge Hongliang's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.

During this period of time, with Bai Qi's appointment, Ge Hongliang's life was a bit difficult. He was almost emptied by Bai Qi, and gradually became a nominal director of military affairs.

For Ge Hongliang, such a day is really a kind of torment.

Du Ruhui's arrival seemed to indicate that great changes were coming.

Ouyang Shuo noticed Ge Hongliang's expression, he was unpredictable. He could have called Ge Hongliang to the study alone to explain to Ge Hongliang before discussing the matter, so that Ge Hongliang could have a mental preparation, but he didn't do that.

He just wanted to see how Ge Hongliang would deal with such a difficult situation, whether he was still loyal to him, and whether he was still worthy of a big responsibility.

Isn't this an investigation of Ge Hongliang? !

With the continuous expansion of the territory, more and more interest entanglements, factions also began to sprout a little bit, and the test for Ouyang Shuo was naturally bigger and bigger.

A year of experience has made his mind deeper, and he also has a little bit of experience on how to resist.

The tempering of blood and fire made Ouyang Shuo's heart even colder and harder.

As time went by, Ouyang Shuo became more and more majestic, now Qing'er and the others didn't dare to play around in front of him, even Fan Zhongyan and the others respected him a little more.

Is the road of the emperor a warm and romantic journey?

The more you gain, the more you lose, and you end up alone.
