Chapter 480

September 15th, Wulong City.

The originally inconspicuous county seat is now the temporary base camp of the Shanhai Territory. The teleportation array in the city flickered from time to time, and people came and went, shuttling between the two cities.

At yesterday's military and political meeting, Ouyang Shuo decided on the army reorganization plan and the structure of Zhaoqing County. The military and the civil servants of the Protectorate's Mansion were all busy as if they were being burned.

A large number of clerks were temporarily transferred from Shanhai City to assist in handling the aftermath.

For Shanhai City, the aftermath work is a war without gunpowder. Its importance is actually no different from the war that just ended.

Whether Zhaoqing County can be successfully brought under the rule of Shanhai City and integrated into the system of Shanhai City depends on these batches of civil servants.

They will instill the system and philosophy of Shanhai City into every corner of Zhaoqing County.

As the lord, Ouyang Shuo didn't sleep well last night, thinking about the future plan of the territory. It wasn't until late at night that I fell asleep in a hurry.

Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo is physically strong and energetic. And after practicing the "Huangdi Neijing", he has been able to enter a deep sleep, one hour is worth two hours of ordinary sleep.

If he wanted his subordinates to work hard, he, the lord, naturally couldn't slack off.

The rooster outside the window just crowed, Ouyang Shuo got up on time. After a simple wash, he came to the open space in the courtyard to practice unshakeable.

He first played Bajiquan twice to exercise his muscles and bones. Immediately afterwards, another half an hour of playing big guns. Ouyang Shuo has already captured a glimmer of inspiration for the commonality between Bajiquan and Yang family marksmanship.

He believed that as long as he practiced diligently, the integration of the two would only be a matter of time.

After practicing the spear, Ouyang Shuo began to practice the sword again. The killing sword he practiced was still the same as before, without a trace of murderous aura, it was more like dancing sword than practicing sword.

But if you look closely, you will find something amazing.

The fallen leaves in the air, before they get close to the Chixiao Sword, will be cut into two pieces by the invisible sword energy. In the courtyard where the sword is practiced, there is no wind, but you can feel the sound of the explosion, like a knife cutting.

Whenever Ouyang Shuo practiced his sword, the guards in the courtyard hid far away and did not dare to approach. These iron-blooded guards who have waded through mountains of swords and seas of fire are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and murderous intent.

The silence speaks.

When Ouyang Shuo finished his work, two hours had passed before he knew it. Back in the room, he changed into clean clothes, went to the dining hall, and prepared to have breakfast.

When passing by the entrance of the dining hall, Ouyang Shuo said to Chen Dameng who was guarding here: "Dameng, go and inform Mr. Xiao to come see me in the study."

"promise!"

Chen Dameng is an unusually burly man with a height of 1.95 meters. His chest and abdomen are full of strong muscles, which are high and bulging. His physique is even comparable to that of a humanoid beast.

Regardless of his tall physique, he looks clumsy, and he has Bajiquan in one hand, but he should not be underestimated.

Before Chen Dameng came to Shanhai City, he was a hunter and made a living by hunting. Apart from a sickly younger brother, he had no other relatives in his family.

In order to cure his younger brother, Chen Dameng went deep into the mountains and forests, fighting with tigers, leopards and wolves. In the local area, he can be regarded as a hero. He can fight tigers in the mountains and catch dragons in the water.

Later, he was exiled to Shanhai City, entered the Baji Boxing Gym, and worshiped under the master of boxing Lin Yue. I never thought that this person may seem stupid, but his understanding is extremely strong. Lin Yue's comprehension of boxing techniques surprised Lin Yue.

Perhaps, this is the so-called great wisdom and foolishness.

Lin Yue inspected Chen Dameng for three months before deciding to include him in the sequence of personal disciples, and carefully teach him the essence of Bajiquan.

As a result, Chen Dameng's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds.

Unlike Lin Yue's disciple, Wang Feng, who is good at marksmanship, Chen Dameng has a soft spot for boxing. With a pair of iron fists, I don't know how many heroes have been killed. With one punch, even a cow would fall to the ground.

Apart from boxing techniques, the only weapon Chen Dameng knows how to use is a broadsword, and a short knife at that. Therefore, he will only fight on the ground, and on horseback, he is a living target.

After learning something, Chen Dameng, like his brothers, chose to join the army.

After some experience, Chen Dameng successfully became a member of Shenwuwei. Not long ago, Ouyang Shuo caught his eye and appointed him as the captain of the guard.

Ouyang Shuo's first personal guard captain was Wang Feng, but now Wang Feng is a general in command of the 3,000 Iron Armored Army, so he is no longer suitable to be around at any time.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo selected another 200 people from the Shenwu Guards to form a bodyguard team to guard Ouyang Shuo 24 hours a day.

Chen Dameng is the captain of the guard team, also Ouyang Shuo's personal bodyguard.

In ancient times, all the bodyguards of the lord were people with extraordinary martial arts. For example, Dian Wei and Xu Chu under Cao Cao's account, Zhao Yun under Liu Bei's account, and so on.

Chen Dameng, of course, cannot be compared with Dian Wei and others.

For now, that's enough.

Ouyang Shuo is still reluctant to let a general in charge act as his personal bodyguard. After all, he is a player, and even if he is really assassinated, he can be reincarnated without any fanfare to protect him.

***********

While Ouyang Shuo was still eating, Xiao He hurried over behind Chen Dameng. Seeing that Junhou was still eating, Xiao He simply waited outside the door.

It's just that Ouyang Shuo's perception is so keen that he immediately discovered Xiao He's existence.

"Is Lord Xiao here? Please come in."

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Xiao He stepped into the dining hall and bowed to salute.

A lord received ministers in the dining hall, and if he spoke out, he was afraid that he would be scolded to death by Confucian scholars.

Ouyang Shuo didn't care about it, he went his own way, and said with a smile, "Master Xiao came here so quickly, maybe he can't take care of the meal? Da Meng, prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Master Xiao."

"promise!"

Chen Dameng outside the door responded and went to prepare.

During the war, Chen Dameng was not only Ouyang Shuo's bodyguard, but also his housekeeper. To ask this burly man to serve tea and water, probably only Ouyang Shuo could figure it out.

Chen Dameng himself didn't think there was anything wrong. Before he came to Shanhai City to settle down, he took care of his younger brother alone, and he was no stranger to daily life.

Laundry and cooking, everything.

What's embarrassing is just the courtiers below, such as the current Xiao He.

Seeing this tall and mighty man handing over a pair of bowls and chopsticks, the sense of cognitive dislocation, not to mention how awkward it is. The small bowls and chopsticks are like toys in the palm of Chen Dameng.

Xiao He was really worried that if this strong man exerted a little force, he would crush the bowls and chopsticks to pieces.

In ancient times, being able to dine with the emperor was a supreme honor for courtiers. Although Xiao He came from a reckless background, he probably didn't pay much attention to Liu Bang in his early years.

But facing Junhou, I was still a little apprehensive.

Although Junhou is young, there are hills and valleys in his heart, pointing at Jiangshan, berating Fang Qiu, not angry but majestic.

Although Ouyang Shuo acted rashly, he was not in the habit of talking about things at the dinner table. It is not unreasonable for the ancients to follow the precept of "don't talk when eating and don't talk when sleeping".

After breakfast, the monarch and his ministers came to the study to discuss matters.

At this time, Chen Dameng had already prepared tea in advance, and the service was thoughtful. I'm afraid that's the case for the maid of the Southern Border Protectorate. Some of the newcomers aren't even close.

"Look at this!"

Ouyang Shuo sat down at the desk and picked up a document. On the cover of the document, the word "Top Secret" was marked in red ink. Obviously, this is a document that is only allowed to be circulated in a small area.

Hearing this, Xiao He got up quickly, stepped forward, took the document respectfully, and then returned to his seat.

This document was drafted overnight by Ouyang Shuo last night. It is about the establishment of the Science, Education, Culture and Health Administration, including suggestions for reforms in education, medical care and other fields in the territory.

After Xiao He saw it, a storm arose in his heart.

Because it is a top-secret document, in the document, Ouyang Shuo made a profound explanation on the reform of the education field and the impact on the future of the territory, without any shyness.

Ouyang Shuo did this to make Xiao He realize the meaning and importance of this change. He didn't want the incomplete change to be caused by Xiao He's misunderstanding.

It is just like this that Xiao He will be frightened after seeing it. He has never heard of this change of the monarch, and it is very different from the usual practice of the past dynasties.

At the same time, Xiao He is also a famous prime minister.

He is very aware of the effect of this change on the territory. Especially for ordinary people, this is simply an opportunity to completely change their destiny.

"A king is a sage, loves the people like a son, such a benevolent king is really a blessing to the people."

Xiao He got up again and bowed respectfully.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, looked at Xiao He, and said in a deep voice, "This Marquis wants you to take the lead in setting up the Department of Science, Education, Culture and Health to lead this reform. Do you have confidence?"

"For the king's sake, the humble minister will die!"

When Xiao He heard the words, he solemnly knelt down and made an oath. Somehow, at this moment, Xiao He suddenly felt an uncontrollable sense of ambition.

There will be times when the wind and the waves cleave, hang the clouds and sail straight to the sea.

As a famous figure of a generation, Xiao He also has lofty political ambitions in his heart. For scholars all over the world, the highest ideal in life can be summed up in four sentences.

Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations.

This change is exactly "making a life for the living and the people", and Xiao He has a feeling of standing on the wave of the times.

Perhaps, in this ordinary study, on such an ordinary morning, Xiao He, a generation of celebrities, began to complete the most important and profound transformation in his life.

Once he is reborn from the ashes and gets rid of the barriers of the times, Xiao He will skyrocket. In the future, in the real world, he will also be able to assist Ouyang Shuo in accomplishing some great achievements.

Ouyang Shuo was the only witness.
