758 West Conquering Army (1/2)

Chapter 758 - West Conquering Army

”Since that's the case, Xiwen, make preparations for the handover and travel toward Guilin Prefecture!”

At the same time as he chose the Guilin Governor, Ouyang Shuo also chose the replacement of Fan Zhongyan. He was the current Deputy Zhen An Prefecture Governor -Cui Shousi.

Cui Shousi was a member of the Cui Family and was the second member of the Cui Family that became a civil servant of Shanhai City after Cui Yingyu. He had previously taken the roles of Country Magistrate and Prefect and also helped Mulan Yue run Zhen An Prefecture for so long.

Now, it was time for his promotion. Officially becoming a governor meant that he was also the first native governor developed by the territory.

If nothing surprising happened, this would be the maximum that Cui Shousi could go. After all, compared to historical civil servants like Fan Zhongyan, there was still a gap in their ability.

At the same time, Cui Shousi's promotion helped to balance the negative effects brought about by Song Wen's promotion. The battle between the Cui and Song Families had now reached equilibrium.

”Yes Monarch!”

Fan Zhongyan got up and bowed respectfully. Inside, he could not help but feel excited. For him to be able to become the governor of Guilin Prefecture was undoubtedly a significant win in his journey.

How sharp was Ouyang Shuo? Especially after training the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique, Ouyang shuo's perception of human emotions had reached a whole new level.

To be more specific, he could touch a person's heart.

Naturally, he would not be able to know what you were thinking but any small emotion would he caught by him.

Hence, ever since Ouyang Shuo returned from the voyage, the officials of Shanhai City all became more careful when they reported to him.

The reason within was that their actions and thoughts could not escape the eyes of the Lord. How could one not feel terrified about that?

Without a doubt, this was also a special talent of a Monarch.

Following which, the two of them talked until dinner time before their conversation came to an end.

7 PM, Ouyang Shuo went to the small courtyard.

The cool breeze blew across, and the air was filled with the scent of osmanthus, making one drunk from the scent. Chiyou City at night was not as hot as during the day, and the breeze shook one's brain.

Such a night was perfect for talking to other tribe members.

His schedule in the day was just too busy, and Ouyang Shuo did not have any time to meet the mountain barbarian tribe leaders. Only at night did he invite the four most influential ones to his little courtyard.

As this was not an official meeting, Ouyang Shuo instructed them to bring wine and dishes. The specially made osmanthus cake was soft and delicious while the territory specialty Three Flowers Wine was mellow.

Talking about the Three Flowers Wine, it was truly amazing.

As it had gotten famous early on in the imperial cities, the current Three Flowers Wine was one of the most popular wines in the wilderness. Especially after wine masters modified it, the taste became more mellow and purer, becoming a representative item of Shanhai City.

After taking down Guilin Prefecture, they would heavily promote the wine industry. After all, the water there was a lot better than the water of Lianzhou Basin.

Wine produced locally in Guilin would definitely get one drunk and addicted.

The pavilion only had a round table. Ouyang Shuo sat with the four old men beside him. The mountain barbarian tribe was originally one that was really brutish, but they had learned all about Han Race customs by now.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he was stunned.

Out of the four, two of them were brothers of Chiyou who appeared with him in the wilderness, and of the remaining two, one came from 100 thousand mountains while the other came from Yunnan Province.

After becoming the Barbarian King, only then did Ouyang Shuo learn that the layout of the mountain barbarians in Nanjiang far exceeded his expectations. Apart from the traditional Chuannan Province, Lingnan Province, there was also Yunnan Province, Chuanbei Province, and the Shu lands.

Apart from the 100 thousand mountains, the Shu lands were the place with the second largest mountain barbarian population.

The mountain barbarian gathered by Chiyou mainly came from the 100 thousand mountains while a portion came from Chuanbei and Yunnan Province. However, as there was a huge distance and there was Taiping Country in the middle, there were still many mountain barbarians living in those two provinces.

”Tribe leader Mu, do you still contact the people in Yunnan?” Ouyang Shuo raised his cup and asked the tribe leader who came from Yunnan Province - Mu Yao.

”Yes, they really admire our life here.”

Speaking of which, Mu Yao was filled with emotion, ”Not long ago, I went to Yunnan to catch up with some of my brothers. When they heard of our life here, they all wanted to immediately move over.”

”However, because the Battle of Yunnan is about to start, it is not appropriate for them to leave.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, ”The Battle of Yunnan is about to begin. Can you tell your tribesmen there to prepare to help the army? When Yunnan is taken down, a good life awaits them.”

”I'll definitely spread the words of the king.”
