175 Beihai County (1/2)

Three days later, it was the 9th day of the 6th month, and Fallen Phoenix Town had successfully upgraded to Fallen Phoenix County, becoming the 3rd grade 1 county in the Chinese region.

On the 11th day of the 6th month, The moment Ouyang Shuo went online, a system notification sounded in his ear.

”System notification: Congratulations player Zhan Lang for becoming the 4th lord in china to upgrade to grade 1 county, rewarded 1600 merit points!”

”System notification: Congratulations player Zhan Lang for becoming the 4th lord in china...”

”System notification: Congratulations player Zhan Lang...”

As expected, Blood Red Town, which was supported by the military, had suddenly showed their strength and succeeded in upgrading.

Being provoked by Zhan Lang, Bai Hua couldn’t resist and decided to apply 3 days earlier, which meant that Fallen Phoenix Town would welcome the raider attack on the 6th month 13th day.

Which meant that Wang Yuanfeng, who had just returned from Fallen Phoenix County was sent to Consonance Town to help arrange and teach them how to use the bed crossbows.

The Four Seas Bank at Mulan Town had officially opened yesterday. Mu Lanyue directly borrowed 1000 gold in the name of Mulan Town to use to expand the military and build the city wall. The remaining 1000 gold was left for the various individuals in the town for their shops and workshops.

On the same day, Beihai Town had reached the max population of 10 thousand people, and officially upgraded to Beihai County. The upgrading of affiliate villages didn't need to take the system test. As long as they met the requirements, they could automatically upgrade.

After Beihai County’s upgrade, Ouyang Shuo imemedately appointed Gu Xiuwen as the Beihai county magistrate. At the same time, he ordered that his administrative level would be equal to the directors of the main camp.

Before the upgrade, the various heads of the affiliate villages didn't have titles, what they were called weren't fixed, and their administrative powers also weren't confirmed.

Using the chance, Ouyang Shuo shaped the management of the affiliate territories, while also letting go of some authority. The various directors and the county magistrates of the grade 1 counties were all under the direct charge of the lord. The lord would not interfere in the country magistrate's affiliate territory, and he would report everything to the Administration Department in the main camp.

The administrative powers of the affiliate territories were one level lower than that of the main camp. This meant that the 4 directors of the affiliate counties would be equal to the secretary of the main camp, and their secretaries would be similar to Shanhai’s vice secretaries. Their salaries would also be based on their administrative powers and not their position.

At the same time, Ouyang Shuo also drew a clear line at their administration structure. The affiliate county didn't have a Military Affairs Department and only had a Combat Logistics Division; their bank was directly controlled by the main branch of Four Seas Bank; their Material Reserves Department didn't have a Saltpan Division. The Combat Logistics Division was drafted under the jurisdiction of the Material Reserves Department.

After Beihai county upgraded, the Beihai naval fleet expanded and officially build a third unit with Lihai as the 3rd major. At the same time, Ouyang Shuo sent Pei Donglai a letter to hold selections for the 4th unit. When the time came, he would immediately send the 4th unit.

Once the Beihai naval fleet had expanded to 4 units and a total of 2000 men, they would officially attack Yueer Island and Black Shark to pull out these poisonous teeth.

After finishing with Beihai County, Ouyang Shuo got up, left the office, and walked towards the backyard.

In it, Bing'er was playing with Blackfang.

The Blackfang today had already matured and he was strong and menacing. It had well developed muscles and strong bones. It was 75 centimetres tall and weighed 55 kilograms.

Its fur was very beautiful and high quality, glistening in the air.

The black tooth puppy was smart and active. It would occasionally try to trick his owner, and treated old people and kids very nicely. The poor Blackfang was abandoned by Ouyang Shuo. The arrival of Bing'er was like giving him a new life. She really liked him and would bring him by her side and play with it, feeding it different types of good foods.

”Brother!” Seeing Ouyang Shuo, she spread her arms wide and ran towards him.

Ouyang Shuo picked her up and smiled. ”Baby, are you bored?”

Bing'er shook her head and giggled. ”No, Bing'er finds it more fun here than at school.”

Ouyang Shuo thought to himself, _Stupid brat, of course you aren't bored, the whole territory treats you as a princess and welcomes you everywhere._ Gu Sanniang often invited her to the hotel and gave her many cakes. Qing'er had made over 10 sets of dresses for her.

Even in the wood workshop, the manager who owed Ouyang Shuo a big favor. Lu Guangzhi, hearing that she was only 8, dropped the work at hand to make her a wooden toy.

As it was already the 6th month and one month away from the summer holiday, so the federal government decided to have an early holiday. Hence, the schools in the game would only open next term which was the 1st day of the 9th month.

When Bing'er found out that she had a full 3 months to play, she was delighted.

”Baby, brother will bring you to ride horses, okay?” Ouyang Shuo felt guilty. For half a month, he had spent very little time with her. If it wasn't for the fact that she was mature, he wouldn't know what would’ve happened.

”Really?” Bing'er was delighted.

”Of course.”

”Yay, riding horses!”
