Chapter 291 The Number One County in the World

The next day, a system announcement resounded all over the world.

"World Announcement: Congratulations to the American player Jack Dawson, who became the second lord in the world to be promoted to Marquis. He is specially given the title of Marquis of Liberty and rewards him with 15,000 reputation points. Specific rewards will be distributed in his royal city."

After Ouyang Shuo, there was finally a second lord in the world who was promoted to Marquis, which meant that the competition for the number one county in the world would not be Ouyang Shuo singing a one-man show alone.

Shanhai County has not yet advanced, which gives Jack Dawson's Liberty County a chance.

If Jack Dawson chooses to advance after completing two tasks in a hurry regardless of the completion of the task, he is likely to win the honor of "No. 1 County in the World" before Shanhai County.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't be sure whether Jack Dawson would give up everything because of the honor of "No. 1 County in the World". After all, in the county stage, Jack Dawson lost a city when he had the upper hand. Now his desire to win must be more urgent, and he cannot tolerate another loss.

Ouyang Shuo continued to be the number one in the world. The western lords had long held back their breath and vowed to regain the right to speak, so that Ouyang Shuo's eastern territory could no longer stand out from the crowd.

If Jack can win the "No. 1 County in the World", then all the haze will disappear.

Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo fell into a dilemma.

Pursue 100% mission completion, or choose to keep the honor of "No. 1 county in the world"?

Regarding this issue, there are also differences within the Shanhai League.

The Siege Lion, 砆, Song Wen and others support the preservation of honor on the grounds that this will not only enhance the sense of honor, but also help to enhance the prestige of the Shanhai League in China and even the world, killing two birds with one stone.

More importantly, both the No. 1 Town and the No. 1 County in the World were included in Ouyang Shuo's pocket. If he did not make persistent efforts to win the honor of "No. 1 County in the World", it would easily cause criticism.

People in the world are like this. When you win glory for your country, they will naturally be full of praise and wish to praise you to the sky; at the same time, they are forgetful. Once you lose your honor, criticism and abuse will flood in and drown you. Pull you down from the altar, whip you wantonly, and don't care about the honor you won before.

Although the understanding of Song Wen and others is biased, it is also very profound and not without reason.

Bai Hua, Feng Prison Huang, and Xunlong Dianxue supported completing tasks as the top priority. Honors are only empty titles, and getting real rewards is a sensible choice.

After all, Shanhai County has long been famous all over the world, and one more honor of "No. 1 County in the World" will not add much color to Shanhai County. !

The two sides insisted on their own opinions, which made Ouyang Shuo even more embarrassed.

Frankly speaking, Ouyang Shuo certainly hopes to achieve three consecutive championships in one go. But intellectually, he is more inclined to the opinions of Bai Hua and others.

In his previous life, he had never heard of any lord who completed four tasks at the same time and achieved 100% task completion. Reminiscent of the village building task that just entered the game, it is not difficult to imagine that the task rewards must be very rich, and there may even be some hidden unique rewards, how can he not let him be tempted? !

The only variable is the task of recruiting historical figures, which has too many uncertainties.

Ouyang Shuo firmly believed that with the territorial characteristics and popularity of Shanhai County, it was impossible not to attract historical figures to join under the background of a hundred schools of thought contending.

The key is time.

Ouyang Shuo has to make a choice, he can't have both.

In the end, Ouyang Shuo decided to ignore Jack Dawson and concentrate on completing his task. Just when Ouyang Shuo decided to give up the honor competition, the system played a big joke on him.

*************

On December 5th of the first year of Gaia, only two days after Jack Dawson was granted the title of Freedom Marquis, Wei Ran and his daughter Wei Lan came to Shanhai County through the Shanhai County Office in Xianyang.

Who is Wei Ran? The elders of the three dynasties of the Qin State, who had ascended to the throne four times, Bai Qi's Bole and father-in-law of Lord Wu'an, heard that Bai Qi was serving as a general in Shanhai County, so they came here to join him. One is to seek to become an official in Shanhai County, and the other is to help his daughter Wei Lan's pain of parting, so that the husband and wife can reunite.

Don't doubt, with the support of Gaia, historical figures have their own post system; otherwise, the player's territories are all built in the wilderness, without accurate information, how to let these historical figures choose where to go to work, they can't let them Let the blind cat kill the mouse!

The popularity of the territory comes into play through this secret post system. The higher the popularity of the territory, the faster the information of the territory can be passed to the ears of various historical figures.

Wei Ran is a character with a strong desire for power. After the Battle of Changping, he automatically joined the game process and descended to the main plane. I have been inquiring about information from all parties before, and I am going to choose a good next home.

Bai Qi was reused in Shanhai County, and Wei Ran finally made up his mind to choose to be an official in Shanhai County. Coupled with the factor of his daughter Wei Lan, there is no reason not to choose Shanhai County.

【Name】: Wei Ran (King Class)

【Title】: Ranghou

【Dynasty】: Warring States (Qin)

[Identity]: Official of Shanhai County

[Occupation]: civil servant

[Loyalty]: 75 points

[Commander]: 50 [Force]: 48 [Intelligence]: 72 [Politics]: 75

[Specialty]: Both civil and military (increase the security of the territory by 25%), discerning the pearl (increase the rate of talent discovery in the territory by 10%), assess the situation (increase the efficiency of affairs by 15%)

[Evaluation]: Rang Hou is knowledgeable and has no way to respond. Relying on the Empress Dowager inside, assisting King Zhao outside. Ascend to the phase four times, and then list the frontiers. Destroy Qi and scratch Chu, break Wei Weiliang. A husband spoke, and died of worry and anger.

Wei Ran's arrival made Ouyang Shuo ecstatic and swept away the gloom.

The scene where the couple Bai Qi and Wei Lan meet is not as lingering as imagined. Bai Qi is an iron-blooded man, even if the husband and wife are reunited, it will not make him lose his usual calmness.

Only by looking closely can one feel a trace of tenderness in Bai Qi's eyes.

Under Zisu's placement, Wei Ran lived in the official residence area, next to Bai Qi's General's Mansion. As for official positions, unified arrangements will be made after the territory is promoted.

Because of the Mazu Temple Fair, some scholars immigrated from Quanzhou to Shanhai County, three or four outstanding scholars, under Ouyang Shuo's instructions, the Administration Department did not assign specific positions to them.

After the arrangements were made, Ouyang Shuo rushed to the council hall, ready to advance to the territory.

Ouyang Shuo opened the territory operation panel, clicked the territory to upgrade, and a system prompt sounded in his ears.

"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi, all four promotion tasks have been completed, do you want to advance?"

"yes!"

The stele of the territory rose, and a golden light shot up into the sky, exploded in the sky, turned into a golden halo, and spread towards the surroundings. The halo extended to the new edge of the territory and disappeared again.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for upgrading his territory to a first-level county seat. The county-level lord's mansion is automatically upgraded to a county-level lord's mansion, please check it yourself!"

In the county town, there are no basic buildings for the lord to randomly select, and all of them are built by the territory itself.

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of system announcements.

"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for becoming the first lord in China to be upgraded to a first-level county town. The reward is 4400 points of merit!"

...

The meritorious rewards in the county stage are doubled compared to the county stage, but for Ouyang Shuo's title, it is really a drop in the bucket.

As soon as the announcement came out, there was an uproar in the China region, and all players were witnessing another highlight moment in the China region.

Sure enough, immediately after the system announcement, the world announcement followed the trend.

"World Announcement: Congratulations to Qiyue Wuyi, a player from China, for becoming the first lord in the world to be upgraded to a first-level county. He will be rewarded with 8,000 merit points, 10,000 reputation points, and bestowed the title of Shanhai County as the number one county in the world!"

...

"World Announcement: Congratulations to Qiyue Wuyi, a player from the Chinese region, for completing the four territory promotion tasks. The completion rate is 100%. A special building - a library is given as a reward!"

...

So far, Ouyang Shuo has been lucky to win three consecutive championships, becoming the well-deserved overlord among the global lords.

As soon as the world announcement came out, the world fell silent.

The western world was dead silent, Ouyang Shuo's strength made the western lord feel suffocated. No one paid attention to any library, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ouyang Shuo's three consecutive championships.

Jack Dawson shouted on the World Channel: "It's no clothes, congratulations!!!" No one who can become a vassal is a narrow-minded person.

"Thank you!" Ouyang Shuo responded kindly.

After finishing the chores, Ouyang Shuo had time to check the properties of the territory.

[Painting Academy]: The government office in charge of painting. In addition to drawing various pictures, it is also responsible for the identification and arrangement of collected paintings and the training of painting students. Construction conditions: senior painter, architectural drawings of the Academy of Painting, 10,000 units of wood, 10,000 units of blue bricks, and 8,000 units of stone. Construction time: fifteen days.

[Distribution Center]: The central area where goods are concentrated and distributed. Construction conditions: 20,000 units of wood, 40,000 units of blue bricks, and 20,000 units of stone. Construction time: fifteen days.

Compared with the county stage, some new changes have taken place in the territory attribute interface of the county stage.

First, the territory and the government are separated, and the two are no longer confused. Territory management will be more complicated after the county seat, the focus of management is no longer limited to the base camp, and the construction of subsidiary territories is also crucial.

The government office is where the capital of the territory is located.

In terms of Shanhai Territory, in addition to Shanhai City, the governing seat, there are eight counties in Xiaxia Prefecture, which together far exceed the scale of Shanhai City. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to use Shanhai City to represent the territory.

This situation will become more and more obvious as the pace of territorial expansion intensifies.

Second, the three attributes of [Xiaxiafu County], [Financial Institution], and [Territory Chamber of Commerce] are added, which represent the territory management and enter a higher level.

The upper limit of the population of the first-level county is directly increased by five times, reaching 500,000. Even with the strong territorial characteristics of Shanhai City, it will take a year and a half to reach the population limit again.

mean what? It means that after the county city, if the territory wants to achieve rapid development, it must plunder the population from the outside, and only rely on refugees to refresh, then it will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

That's why Ouyang Shuo implemented the strategy of "raising Gu" in the Lianzhou Basin. The purpose was to store a sufficient population base in the Lianzhou Basin in preparation for the advancement of the territory.

Together with the increase in the population limit, there is also the area of ​​the territory, which occupies a fifth of the land in the Lianzhou Basin; this means that Yongye County, Guangshui County, Yishui County, and Gushan County will all be officially brought under the jurisdiction of the territory.

After the county city, the number of basic buildings has decreased in vain, and there are only three poor new basic buildings. Among the three buildings, the Urn City is, needless to say, an essential facility for the construction of the outer city wall.

The painting academy is also simple, just like the previous chess academy, it can be built directly in the Southwest University Hall. The only condition is that you need to spend 2000 gold coins to purchase an architectural blueprint of the painting academy.

Of course, the premise is that there must be at least one senior painter. This is quite simple, among the scholars immigrating from Quanzhou, there are ready-made painters, so Ouyang Shuo doesn't need to worry about it.

The final distribution center symbolizes the city of Shanhai, the governing place, which has transformed from a self-sufficient city to a central city, and its influence has begun to radiate to surrounding counties.

Finally, there is the library rewarded by the system.

The library was designated by Ouyang Shuo to be inside the Southwest University Hall as the library of the Southwest University Hall. As for the specific attributes, Ouyang Shuo doesn't have time to check them now.

In any case, being able to let the system solemnly take it out as a reward alone must have its extraordinary features.
