In October, Langshan Mine and Beimu Salt Field paid 17,000 gold coins, Ouyang Shuo intercepted 5,000 gold coins, and all the rest was allocated to the Finance Department.

The Sanhua Winery in the western suburbs has been completed and will be put into production next month. According to Du Chun's estimate, the winery can achieve about half of its target production capacity in November and pay a profit of three to four thousand gold coins.

The expansion of the mulberry garden has also been completed, but the cultivation of mulberry trees requires a relatively long growth cycle. To achieve the operation of the mulberry garden, you must wait until next year at least.

With the promotion of [Falling Moon Meeting] and the establishment of the Shanhai County Wangcheng Office, new players and NPC skilled talents are pouring into Shanhai County every day.

The influx of talents were diverted to various affiliated territories by Ouyang Shuo to promote the balanced development of the territories.

With the large number of professional life players and NPC skilled talents recruited by the Cui Chamber of Commerce, they were injected into the three major military workshops in the East District, the output of weapons and equipment increased exponentially.

The sequelae caused is the shortage of leather, beef tendon and other materials. Leather is a little better, and through the market in Youyi County, some can be purchased from nomadic tribes.

Beef tendon is more difficult to deal with. Such materials are controlled items, and the Cui Chamber of Commerce has no choice.

In the end, it was my aunt who helped him solve this problem.

In fact, adventure players go to the wilderness to kill monsters every day to earn experience. In the wilderness, the most common monsters are wild wolves, bisons, etc. This type of monster does not drop equipment, so players can only collect some materials.

Therefore, every adventurer has more or less some materials such as leather and beef tendon in his hands.

After being reminded by my aunt, Ouyang Shuo made a quick decision and mailed her 10,000 gold coins. Please [Shang Xue Rose] to help you acquire all kinds of materials from players for a long time.

Lin Jing was of course happy. In fact, the guild warehouse of [Shangxue Rose] stores a large number of materials such as leather and beef tendons. In their opinion, these materials not only occupy space, but also cannot be cashed in. If sold to the Wangcheng store, it is too cheap, and they are unwilling to accept it.

Now that Ouyang Shuo, the great lord, is willing to acquire unlimitedly, it is naturally the best of both worlds. The purchase price agreed by both parties doubles based on the Wangcheng Store quotation.

Even so, such a price is still a bargain for the huge profits of weapons and equipment.

Ouyang Shuo knew in his heart that the reason why the materials in the hands of adventure players have not yet attracted the attention of the lord players is that they have not yet mastered the corresponding technical manual and are temporarily unable to intervene in the military industry.

Even Ouyang Shuo himself noticed something after his aunt's reminder.

But this situation will eventually be slowly broken, and the lord will always find other ways to obtain the weapon and equipment manufacturing manual. At that time, it is the time for the prices of various materials to soar.

Ouyang Shuo’s acquisition of such materials was naturally not for speculation. As Shanhai County, which is determined to become the largest arms dealer in China, the future demand for materials is very terrifying, and he had to prepare for it.

In this way, when no one noticed, the various materials accumulated by adventure players began to quietly flow into the hands of merchants sent by [Shang Xue Rose], and then into the warehouse in Shanhai County.

First, it was Jianye, and then expanded to all system royal cities.

Players are very happy with the acquisition of merchants and are very motivated. Some players originally threw these materials in the guild warehouse to avoid occupying the storage bag. After receiving the news, they took the stored materials back from the guild and sold them to the acquired merchants.

Therefore, the materials stored by each chariot disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Such anomalies naturally attracted the attention of the senior guild leaders. After understanding the situation, they simply packed and sold the materials in the warehouse to merchants, and they were naturally happy.

When players place materials in the guild warehouse, the guild will be allowed to handle them by default. Of course, after the guild is processed, the contribution value will be calculated to the members based on the value of the item.

Suddenly, a wave of material acquisitions that swept across the Chinese region was quietly staged.

As the acquisition behavior intensifies, it can no longer be concealed. Whether it is the top ten guilds or the influential lords, they already know that [Shang Xue Rose] has been crazily acquiring various materials recently.

The players’ gossip heart is endless, and their ability to inquire about news is also amazing.

Gradually, the relationship between [Shang Xue Rose] and Shanhai County was exposed by players, slowly tearing open the mystery. The intimate cooperation between the two attracted a lot of attention.

At this moment, the relationship between Ouyang Shuo and Lin Jing was exposed. The whistleblower was a core member of [Shang Xue Rose], who once followed Lin Jing to Shanhai County.

Such betrayal undoubtedly made Xie Siyun and Lin Jing extremely angry and expelled the member from the tour meeting on the spot. Not only that, law enforcement teams were also sent to chase her for a long time, making her unable to gain a foothold in Jianye.

There is no doubt that there is someone behind this player's betrayal. Even if the betrayer is reincarnated, he can get a huge compensation that can make up for the losses.

As for who is behind the scenes, Ouyang Shuo doesn't have to worry about it, as he can only do anything to the point of being a di Chen.

Lin Jing and the others were furious, not because they were exposed, but because they were heartbroken. You should know that the betrayer was a core member of the guild and an old minister who had been fighting in the studio for many years. Unexpectedly, he still could not resist the temptation of external interests and brutally threw away his friendship for many years.

Obviously, as the game becomes more and more involved with real interests, the interpersonal relationships and organizational relationships in the game will become more and more complex and unpredictable.

Ouyang Shuo was able to see this. As Shanhai County cooperated more and more with [Shangxue Rose], it would be a matter of time before it was exposed, and he had already been mentally prepared.

There is no doubt that after being exposed, Shanhai County will be even more afraid. Many people then realized that the influence of Shanhai County has expanded to the adventure player group. This was still exposed. Are there any other forces hidden under the iceberg in Shanhai County? Everything is unknown.

Shanhai County, which had been unveiled from the mystery, became mysterious again. How can such Shanhai County not be shocked?

Since it has been said, Ouyang Shuo simply stopped hiding and continued to send 20,000 gold coins to his aunt Lin Jing, and be sure to sweep away all the materials in the hands of players in the Chinese region.

To this end, Ouyang Shuo specially instructed the Construction Department to choose a cave and transform it into an exclusive warehouse suitable for storing such materials. Because there are too many materials, leather and other things occupy the space of the storage capsule. If you rely on players to smuggle, the transmission fee will be even higher than 10% of the transaction tax.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo simply trades through the Super Auction Platform and has to grit his teeth and pay a transaction tax of up to 3,000 gold coins. Gaia has supervision on the transactions on the Super Auction Platform. Players should not avoid the transaction tax they should pay by lowering the price of goods.

As the acquisition progresses, piles of leather, bundles of cow tendons, horns and other materials are transported to Shanhai County through a super auction platform, and then transported to caves and stored.

Soon, the huge cave was stuffed into half.

Such huge materials can be calculated by Wu Peng, director of the Bow and Crossbow Department, and Wang Zi, director of the Jiafang Department, at least one million bowstrings, more than 400,000 sets of bright light armor and various leather armors.

The two of them were naturally very excited about Junhou's purchase. They did not expect that the material problem they were worried about was solved in an instant, and it was far beyond expectations.

Regarding Ouyang Shuo's behavior, most lords still chose to look at it. One reason is that they had just experienced the food crisis and the funds in their hands were basically drained. The other reason is that even if these materials were purchased, they would not be used for a while, and they would use the working capital in the territory in vain, which would be less than worth the loss.

More importantly, in the eyes of the lord players, the monsters in the wild are endless. If you really need to use these materials in the future and then acquire them from the players, why bother to compete with Shanhai County for food?

Of course Ouyang Shuo knew what these lord players thought, and he just smiled coldly. When it comes to his understanding of the game, no one can compare to him.

In theory, the wild beasts in the wilderness are indeed endless.

The key to the problem is that the distribution of wild beasts is relatively even. Even in order to take care of adventure players, Gaia has produced more wild beasts around the royal city, but the number is still limited.

Most of the wild beasts are in the barren mountains and forests, which are difficult for adventure players to reach.

As players pass the novice period, they no longer need to rely on fighting wild beasts to gain experience. In other words, the experience they can gain from killing wild beasts is very limited. They must go deep into the wilderness to compete with bandits and bandits.

Therefore, the first year in the game is the period when players kill the most beasts and the best time to acquire various materials. After that, the supply of various materials will gradually decrease. On the other hand, as the player's level increases, personal savings are also steadily increasing. The little money obtained from selling materials is no longer in the eyes of players, so naturally there is no motivation to kill wild animals and collect leather and other materials.

Another point is that compared to bow arms, bow strings are more likely to be damaged and need to be replaced. In the Tang Dynasty army, one bow must be equipped with three bow strings. Therefore, the consumption of beef tendons and other things is very huge.

Ouyang Shuo's grand sweep came just at the right time, and the players had accumulated materials for almost a year, swept it away, and ate the largest and most delicious piece of the cake.

In this operation, Ouyang Shuo paid as much as 33,000 gold coins in one lump sum. In addition to the 100,000 gold coins that could not be used, only the pitiful 3,000 gold coins remained in his storage bag.
