At noon, Ouyang Shuo held a banquet to entertain Xie Siyun and his party at the Lord's Mansion. He had already received a reply from Sun Xiaoyue and knew that in the afternoon, Sun Xiaoyue would lead a group of players to Shanhai County.

The players brought by Sun Xiaoyue are divided into two parts.

The most important thing is of course the expert team that Ouyang Shuo has always been looking forward to. There are a total of 30 experts, covering various majors such as ships, metallurgy, economy, chemistry, medicine, machinery, engineering, agriculture, etc.

Thirty top experts, including their relatives, have a total of 150 people. Each expert is assigned to a courtyard covering an area of ​​2,000 square meters.

The second part is the members of the [Falling Moon Club], who also bring family members.

Before the end date, there were 400 members in the [Moonfall Meeting]. When Sun Xiaoyue announced that Shanhai County was willing to accept members of the [Moonfall Meeting], 350 people were willing to settle in Shanhai County on the spot.

The remaining 50 people have already gained a foothold in the royal city and are unwilling to move. As the saying goes, the different ways, those who do not plan for each other and do not want to go will all be visited by Sun Xiaoyueqing.

[Moon Lost Meeting] The members, with family members, have a total of 1,850 people. In addition, the 150 people from the expert group, the players teleported from Dali have a total of 2,000 people.

[Falling Moon Club] The six core members are the fallen leaves of the alchemist Qiu, the bridge designer Wufoe, the municipal engineer drawing board, the map surveyor Jiuda Line, and Sun Xiaoyue's former roommates Qin Ruo and Pan Qiaoqiao. As for their boyfriends, they are only classified as ordinary members because they are fighting professions.

The core members were placed in the official residence by Ouyang Shuo, and each person was assigned a courtyard covering an area of ​​1,000 square meters. The remaining members of the [Falling Moon Club] were placed in residential areas, and each person was given a set of ordinary courtyards.

Sun Xiaoyue settled in Shanhai County and could not be teleported back to Dali. In addition, the outer guild of Lingxi Studio [Qingfeng Pavilion] is headquartered in Dali, Ouyang Shuo simply asked her to withdraw the [Falling Moon Club] from Dali.

In this way, [Falling Moon Club] becomes the first to settle in Shanhai County, and may also be the only player guild.

Ouyang Shuo planned that the professional life players recruited by Shangxue Rose, who were willing to settle in Shanhai County, would also be fully managed in the [Moonlight Meeting].

Sun Xiaoyue came from Dali this time and brought the gift Cui's mansion to pass it on to Yingyou.

The gifts were filled with two large wooden boxes, one box containing the jewelry and clothes that Yingyou usually used; the other box contained a full of gold coins, a total of 10,000 pieces.

According to Cui’s confession, the 10,000 gold coins were pocket money for Yingyou. It was indeed a big merchant group, and its wealth was not comparable to that of Shanhai County today.

Yingyou did not keep the 10,000 gold coins sent by the family, but deposited them in Sihai Money House. This also became the largest deposit business of Sihai Money House since its establishment.

When she saw her sister, she suddenly increased her deposit of 10,000 gold coins. Xiaocai Mi Qing'er secretly envied her and didn't know when she could have so many deposits.

In fact, it will be a matter of time before you save enough 10,000 gold coins with the profitability of the garment workshop.

Yingyou deposits money into Sihai Money House and can get 100 gold coins per month interest, which is enough for daily expenses.

When Sihai Money Bank gets this deposit, as long as it lends it in time, it can get at least 300 gold coins per month, and it is calculated as compound interest. Once in and out, it will make at least 200 gold coins per month.

This is the way to make money in Sihai Money House.

Yingyou's deposit can be regarded as a solution to Shanhai County's urgent needs.

Ouyang Shuo was originally planning to leave a sum of funds to transfer them to Sihai Money House in the end of June to increase the reserve funds of Sihai Money House. Unfortunately, a big purchase consumed all the funds.

With the rapid development of the territory's economy, loan demand has expanded sharply. The 1,350 gold coins deposited in mid-May have been almost exhausted, and they can only rely on the deposits of retail investors to maintain their lending business.

Sihai Money House has this deposit, which is enough to support it for a long time.

In addition to two boxes of gifts, the Cui Mansion also brought a cooperation document, which could take effect immediately as long as Ouyang Shuo agrees. The document stipulates that the Cui Chamber of Commerce will become the only agent of Shanhai County in Dali, responsible for selling Shanhai County's specialties and other materials.

Since the system is updated, the market transaction tax has been reduced to 10%, which is the same as the transaction tax collected by grocery stores for sale of specialties. This means that the advantage of exclusive sales of specialties in grocery stores will no longer exist, and it is better to place orders through the super trading platform. After all, the market of the super trading platform is countless times larger than that of the grocery store system.

In return, the Cui Chamber of Commerce pays an agency fee of 2% of the annual transaction amount to Shanhai County every year. At the same time, the Cui Chamber of Commerce can also collect various rare materials for Shanhai County and become a purchasing agent for Shanhai County in Dali Prefecture.

The business practice of the Cui Chamber of Commerce is to turn the bulk materials purchased from Shanhai County into pieces through their countless shops in Dali, and convert them from wholesale to retail, making the difference from it.

This is a win-win cooperation, Ouyang Shuo agreed directly without hesitation.

Later, Shanhai County sold materials through a super trading platform. After placing an order, the Cui Chamber of Commerce defaulted to be auctioned. Only when the Cui Chamber of Commerce refused to take the order can it be freely circulated in the market.

Of course, if the Cui Chamber of Commerce often refuses to take orders, it will affect the basis of cooperation between the two parties, and this agency model will be challenged and cooperation cannot continue.

In the afternoon, while settling down the group of people, Ouyang Shuo and Xie Siyun had an in-depth conversation on the cooperation between Shanhai County and the Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group.

The two sides signed a memorandum of cooperation, and Shanhai County and Shangxue Rose Mercenaries united as strategic partners.

The Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group has the right to buy weapons and equipment in Shanhai County, and enjoys a 10% discount. In return, the Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group will find outstanding professional life players for Shanhai County in Jianye for a long time and recruit them to settle in Shanhai County.

Because the two sides are still in the initial stage, there is no way to talk about further cooperation, so they can only adapt to changes.

The Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group was the first force to obtain coupons in Shanhai County. Even members of Shanhai Alliance and Tianshuang Town did not receive such treatment, which shows Ouyang Shuo's desire for talents.

Of course, the factor of my aunt Lin Jing cannot be ruled out. After all, she is a family, and the financial strength of the guild cannot be comparable to that of the territory.

There is a reason why Ouyang Shuo is willing to spend a lot of money to attract professional life players.

Compared with skilled talents among the indigenous groups, players have many innate advantages.

One reason is that players are not qualified to take up a job. When creating a character, the system will automatically give the player a certain talent potential and wait for the player to develop.

This is actually the same concept as the talent of combat professions. It is just that one is used for combat and the other is used for production, with different focuses.

Therefore, the life professions among the player group are much larger than the base of skilled talents in the indigenous people. Skilled talents among the indigenous people can only rely on luck and wait for refugees to refresh. And players can only recruit directly, and the efficiency of the two is naturally incomparable.

Second, compared with the indigenous people, it is less difficult for players to break through the bottleneck, and it is easier to cultivate high-skilled talents at the master level or above. This is also related to the preference of the system. In the future, professional players in life will shine brightly in this field.

Of course, players also have flaws.

First, many players cannot endure hardship and waste their talents in vain. Take tailors as an example. If they are not stabbed by needles more than ten times a day, they are not considered a qualified tailor. Compared with blacksmiths and craftsmen, tailors are already relatively easy careers. In reality, players who are spoiled can endure this hardship.

Secondly, players start with apprentices and need a relatively long training cycle. Just like Sun Xiaoyue’s career as an architect, she studied in the architecture school for two months before she was promoted to an intermediate architect. The further she went, the longer it took, which required constant investment and sufficient patience.

Therefore, only professional players who truly have great perseverance, can endure hardships and endure loneliness can become real masters in the future. Most people will become idle ribs in the process.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Siyun and her aunt returned to Jianye.

In the evening, Ouyang Shuo held a banquet to entertain an expert group at Sangu Restaurant.

At the banquet, Ouyang Shuo announced the arrangements for all the experts. All thirty experts were hired by Lianzhou College to serve as professors. The monthly salary was 10 gold coins, which was equivalent to the first-level salary of the director of the government affairs department.

While completing teaching tasks, experts can serve as consultants according to their profession and preferences, or in government affairs departments; or set up research institutes to engage in scientific research.

Agricultural experts can be hired as consultants of the Agricultural Department and guide the Agricultural Department to improve water conservancy facilities; guide farmers to improve planting methods and increase crop yields; teach pest control methods, reduce crop losses, etc.

Economics experts can be hired as consultants of the Finance Department, guide the Finance Department, combine the actual situation of the territory, use modern economic knowledge, improve the tax system, formulate more targeted economic stimulus policies, etc.

Engineering experts can be hired as consultants of the Construction Department, guide the Construction Department to develop more advanced tools or machinery equipment, reduce the labor intensity of craftsmen, improve construction efficiency, etc.

Mechanical experts can be hired as consultants of the War Readiness Department, guide the War Readiness Department to develop siege equipment, improve existing ladders, hot oil cabinets, etc., etc.

Metallurgical experts can be hired as consultants of the Material Reserves Agency, guide the Material Reserves Agency to improve the refining level of gold ore in Langshan Mine, the smelting level of various iron ore, upgrade and transform the smelting furnace, etc.

In short, this group of experts is a huge treasure. Although they cannot subvert the system's restrictions on the technology tree, they can use their knowledge to fine-tune or upgrade and transform the territory and industries.

Of course, the premise is to allow these experts to integrate into the territory, truly understand the current situation of the territory, and then formulate targeted transformation plans according to local conditions.

If experts in agriculture, economy, engineering, machinery, metallurgy are just icing on the cake, then Ouyang Shuo’s core needs are to build warships and muskets powered by steam engines.
