369 Land of the Military Strategists (1/2)

Thread was not the only thing that Star Alliance was interested in.

Rumors had it was that Xingzhe Zichen was chasing after Qing Sikou.

As rumors spread, this matter started to gain more and more attention.

All of a sudden, a lot of attention was paid to Jingdu.

Toward Thread, Ouyang Shuo had a similar idea.

Before this, Ouyang Shuo had been recruiting work occupation players through War-Snow Rose Mercenary Group. Thread was exactly what he wanted.

Currently, Ouyang Shuo was waiting for the right chance to strike.

He had already instructed Black Mamba to use the Black Snake Guards to closely follow this development.

Ouyang Shuo remembered that in his last life, Jianqi Zongheng had pressured Thread into merging with them. Weirdly, their guild leader Qing Sikou did not join them and just disappeared.

Where she went was a total mystery.

Rumors had it that she had given up and just became a casual player.

As the 3rd month came to an end, the footsteps of spring started to arrive.

Along with it, life started to awaken, and the wilderness started to become full of life.

Spring was a crucial point of the year.

To the lords, the spring planting season had begun.

After the grain crisis, none of the lords dared to be careless. They started to personally order the spring planting such that they could get at least half a year of grain from it.

3rd month 25th day, Ouyang Shuo ended his tour and returned to Shanhai City.

The moment he returned, the Four Seas Bank treasurer Meng Zhida came to find him.

After a few months of preparation, the first batch of bank notes were finally ready.

He came to allow Ouyang Shuo to inspect the finished products.

Ouyang Shuo took over the hundred gold bank note and started to scrutinize it.

In ancient printing, there were only two colors—black and white.

The banknote in front of him was bigger than one in real life. It had a picture of the Lianzhou Basin on it, taken from the map.

On the front, it used the symbol on the lord's flag.

Before this, Meng Zhida wanted to use Ouyang Shuo's face, but he had rejected the idea.

When using bank notes, apart from good-quality printing, the key was how to prevent forgery.

As they currently had a limited level of technology, Meng Zhida could only use a laborious process—stamping the Lianzhou Lord's stamp onto every note.

The Lianzhou Lord seal was the symbol of the lord; it could not be forged or replicated.

Whoever tried to do so, nine generations of their family would be wiped.

After receiving Ouyang Shuo’s support, the bank notes would be rolled out in the 4th month.

Coincidentally, the War-Snow Rose Mercenary Group had just finished its equipment sale; they had sold all of it.

In the end, Ouyang Shuo received 286,700 gold. Thirteen thousand gold was used to make up for the costs of building the Black Snake Guards.

Ouyang Shuo kept fifty thousand gold for backup funds. He sent the remaining gold to the Four Seas Bank to support the launch of the bank notes.

The timing was nice. At this moment, Ouyang Shuo also needed to increase his support of the Tianshuang County through the Four Seas Bank.

Although his brother-in-law Song Wen lacked style, he was very by the books when he did things. Under Ouyang Shuo's support, he built the Shanhai Alliance-Tianshuang Alliance to fight with the South Alliance.

All of a sudden, the lords of Lingnan had a decision to make.

Of course, the leader of the South Alliance Hefo was not an easy person to deal with.

Their battle had just began.

Ouyang Shuo naturally sat in. He waited and watched on as a storm brewed in Lingnan.

The next day, under the company of Du Ruhui, Ouyang Shuo attended the Army Military Academy unveiling ceremony.

Actually, a month ago, they had already completed the academy construction. However, they could only push back the unveiling ceremony because they had to wait for their lord-cum-principal to return.

After the unveiling, a system notification spread across the China region.

”System Notification: Representative Figure for Military Strategists Sun Wu has moved into Shanhai City to manage the Army Military Academy and accept disciples. At the same time, the three requirements for one of the hundred philosophy branches—Philosophy of War, to move in has been met.”

……

”System Notification: Military Strategists have moved into Shanhai City, given the title Home of the Military Strategists as a reward. Congratulations, player Qiyue Wuyi!”

……

The unveiling of the Army Military Academy meant that military strategists had a place to share their thoughts in Shanhai City.
