The next morning, Yingyou brought Erwazi to thank Ouyang Shuo for gratitude.

"Cui Tianqi pays homage to the master and thanks for his adoption." Erwazi, who is now Cui Tianqi, respectfully kowtowed to Ouyang Shuo for his gratitude.

NPC children grow slightly faster than the real world. When Cui Tianqi first came to the territory, his skin was dark and thin. Although he was eleven or twelve years old, he looked less than eight years old due to poor nutrition. It has only been half a year since he kept up with the nutrition and did not have to do rough work, and his body bones began to grow rapidly. In addition to the influence of private schools, the once little monkey has long transformed into a handsome young man.

Ouyang Shuo was also full of emotion, "Get up!" When Cui Tianqi got up, Ouyang Shuo continued, "I support it whether it is literature or martial arts. Since I decided to practice martial arts, I have to go all the way to the end, learn to achieve success, be a person who is useful to the territory, so that I can live up to the grace, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Cui Tianqi said solemnly.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with relief: "Go and meet your master!"

Cui Tianqi was about to pay homage to Song Jia, but Song Jia reached out to stop him. He couldn't help but wonder what to do.

Song Jia turned to Ouyang Shuo and said, "Wuyi, before Tianqi became a disciple, I want to care about you if you want someone, okay?" In formal occasions, Song Jia likes the name of Ouyang Shuo, just like Bai Hua and the others.

Ouyang Shuo was also puzzled: "Who?"

"Pin Xia!"

"Do you want Banxia to serve you all the time?" Ouyang Shuo could only speculate that he was busy with the sect's affairs these two days. Before Song Jia could recruit maids, Banxia was serving her, maybe it was easy.

Song Jia shook her head and said, "I want to take Banxia as my personal disciple."

Ouyang Shuo frowned and immediately guessed what was going on. His face changed and he said in a deep voice: "Banxia!"

"Master!" Banxia immediately stepped out of the line and knelt in front of Ouyang Shuo, looking terrified and uneasy.

"Say, what's going on?" Song Jia would not want to accept Banxia as his disciple for no reason. Ouyang Shuo was sure that Banxia had begged Song Jia last night. Song Jia was soft-hearted and was hindered that she was Ouyang Shuo's maid, so she agreed. Ouyang Shuo would never tolerate such unruly things happening in the mansion.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

When Banxia saw Ouyang Shuo getting angry, she became even more frightened and she was so scared that she burst into tears. While kowtowing, she cried and said, "I know I am wrong, please punish me." As Ouyang Shuo speculated, Banxia heard Ouyang Shuo agree to ask Song Jia to accept the second child as his disciple last night, so she became interested in learning skills.

Banxia's village was looted by a group of bandits. She escaped by hiding in the haystack. That night, she witnessed her relatives being brutally killed by bandits. She had planted the seeds of hatred in her heart, hoping that one day she could avenge her parents with her own hands.

When he arrived in Shanhai County, he was unexpectedly recruited by Yingyou into the Lord's Mansion. Banxia had already calmed down his mind for revenge and wanted to live in the Lord's Mansion peacefully. However, he would have thought that things would turn like this. Song Jia came to the Lord's Mansion and opened the door to accept disciples, which aroused the hatred in Banxia's heart again.

Banxia dared not ask for Ouyang Shuo because she was afraid that Ouyang Shuo would refuse. Last night, she took advantage of the opportunity to serve Song Jia and told Song Jia about her life experience and asked Song Jia to accept her as her disciple. Song Jia felt soft and saw that Banxia had good qualifications, so she agreed and let her plead with Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo had a gloomy face and was about to expel Banxia from the lord's mansion. Fortunately, Yingyou stood up at this time and advised: "Brother, for the sake of Banxia being young and ignorant, you should just go around her this time."

"Yes, brother, just go around Banxia!" Qing'er also pleaded with her.

Finally, even Zi Su stood up and knelt in front of Ouyang Shuo, "I beg you to beg me to beg me."

Banxia was young and was at a loss when she saw so many people pleading for her. Only then did she realize that she had made a big mistake and caused everyone to suffer for her. She felt even more uneasy and looked at Ouyang Shuo pitifully.

Ouyang Shuo sighed and said, "Banxia did not do his duty and broke the rules of the Lord's Mansion. Start immediately and remove the Lord's Mansion and restore his freedom. From then on, he will no longer be able to show off outside in the name of the Lord's Mansion, otherwise he will not forgive him." Without rules, Ouyang Shuo must punish him, otherwise how to lead the Lord's Mansion.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Ouyang Shuo raised his head and fell down, which was equivalent to acquiesce to Banxia to take Song Jia as his teacher. Banxia was naturally grateful, but from then on, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

A storm dispersed. Banxia and Cui Tianqi paid homage to Song Jia, and both became Song Jia's personal disciples. The future senior sister and senior brother of the Dongli Sword Sect have a bright future.

After taking Banxia into the school, Song Jia simply stopped recruiting maids. If there is something wrong, the disciples will accept it. Ouyang Shuo no longer wanted to recruit another maid, and only Zi Su was left to take care of the main courtyard.

...

On August 25, the first year of Gaia, Ouyang Shuo presided over a territorial government meeting.

Before the departments and departments reported, Xu Shuda, Director of Culture and Education, took the lead and bowed to Ouyang Shuo solemnly: "I have reported to you that the Department of Culture and Education has a proposal, so I would like to ask for approval from you."

“What proposal?”

"Sometimes ago, the great man was conferred the title of the Marquis of Lianzhou by the court. According to the etiquette system, those who are listed should be respected as the Marquis of the Lord. The titles such as the Lord or the Lord should be abolished and they should be respected as the Lord and the Marquis of the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord should be respected as the Minister; officials at all levels in the territory should also regard themselves as ministers; the Lord's Mansion should also be changed to the Marquis of Lianzhou to show orthodoxy." Xu Shuda was regulating the etiquette of the princes.

Don’t underestimate a change in the title, it actually represents a fundamental change in the nature of the territory. Before being appointed as a marquis, the lord opened up territory in the wilderness, and his status was not recognized by the court. After being appointed as a marquis, especially the marquis enthroned by the court, it means that the territory can be regarded as a marquis, which is legitimate.

Originally, these should be implemented immediately after the enthronement. Xu Shuda, Director of Culture and Education, had long been aware of this problem. However, he encountered the promotion of the territory the next day after the title of marquis. Then Ouyang Shuo stayed in Luofeng County for another three days. After Xu Shuda calculated, he simply waited until the end of the month to propose it at the government affairs meeting.

"I am asking!" Fan Zhongyan immediately changed his title, no longer regarded himself as a subordinate, but instead became a minister.

"I'm asking!" Tian Wenjing responded.

"I'm going to discuss it!" Everyone in the chamber stood up and bowed.

Ouyang Shuo had no expression on his face: "Accurate!" From today on, he has taken another step closer to the lonely man.

After Xu Shuda retired, Qin Shijian, the director of the Kaigong Department, stood up: "Qi Zhu Jun, since the brothel appeared, the Kaigong Department found that some officials were also hiding in this fireworks place. What should be done to these officials? Please wait to decide."

Director Lengmeng Tian Wenjing suggested: "Weichen suggested that the brothels be sealed directly to prevent future troubles." Tian Wenjing was not used to these literati styles and had extremely tough methods.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "This is inappropriate. The brothel is a place for scholars and scholars to be recreated. You cannot abandon food because of choking, nor can you enforce the law violently, otherwise it will easily cause dissatisfaction among the people. On the other hand, Director Qin did the right thing and never allow territorial officials to go to this fireworks place to spend time, otherwise it will be a perfect match. This marquis will order the marquis to investigate and punish once, and the salary will be fined for three months; investigate and punish twice, and leave your post to check; investigate and punish three times, and directly dismiss the post and investigate."

Ouyang Shuo was also curious about the brothels in ancient times and wanted to explore them, but the conditions did not allow it. As a lord, he had to set an example and could not bring this debauchery to the officialdom. After Song Jia came, he completely lost his thoughts.

"Here!" Qin Shijian stepped back.

Tian Wenjing stepped forward again and bowed and bowed: "Report to the Lord and Hou, there are latest progress in the affairs of the mountain and barbarians."

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Ouyang Shuo immediately became interested.

"Recently, I have visited several mountain barbarian tribes one after another and heard the same thing. According to the mountain barbarians, there is a giant bandit hamlet deep in the mountains. They often go down the mountain to rob the mountain barbarian tribes, making them miserable. I heard that our Shanhai County has a huge army, and the leaders of each tribe admitted that if we can help them get rid of the bandit hamlet, then they are willing to cooperate with us and send elite soldiers to join the Shanhai County army."

"Bandits' Copyright?" Ouyang Shuo was puzzled. Ordinary Copyright should not be enough to make Tian Wenjing so serious. With the military strength of Shanhai County, is there any copyright that cannot be obtained?!

"The king and the prince don't know anything. According to the mountain barbarians, the bandits were extremely cunning and built the mountain on a dangerous peak. There was only a rugged path up and down the mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The number of bandits was not a decimal point. Although there was no specific data, it was definitely not less than 10,000 people. Therefore, it was not easy to win this mountain."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, so that's it. It's really not easy to win such a copycat. Although there are quite a few troops in Shanhai County, most of them are cavalry or navy. There are less than four thousand people who can be used to attack cities and capture villages. Ouyang Shuo has no confidence in such a few people.

"First, contact the Military Information Department, let the Shanren lead the way, and find out the details of the bandits' hamlets. Second, lobbying the Shanren tribes, asking them to send the Shanren soldiers to Shanhai County in advance to transfer their posts and join the newly formed third brigade. Taking a two-pronged approach, this marquis doesn't believe it, and he can't take down a copycat." Ouyang Shuo made the decision.

"Here!"

"Now, the Third Brigade is still under construction. After the establishment is completed, it will also complete the task of suppressing bandits in the territory. Therefore, Director Tian, ​​you must coordinate the action schedule with the Military Affairs Office, and do not let the Shanman tribe mistakenly think that Shanhai County is untrustworthy. When necessary, you can provide a batch of grain for free to show your sincerity." Ouyang Shuo is preparing to play the grain card again. For these Shanman, grain is a life-saving straw, and it has been tried and done.
Chapter completed!
