The rejection of Annan and other countries was completely expected by Ouyang Shuo. He sent envoys to Annan and other countries, with the same purpose as resolutely fighting back against the Annan Navy, which was to seize the moral commanding heights.

In the future, the national war will begin, Ouyang Shuo can show off with them with confidence.

It was beyond Ouyang Shuo's expectation that five of the nine ASEAN countries were willing to develop trade with Shanhaicheng. In this way, the third step of the ASEAN strategy he formulated was successfully implemented.

The maritime trade in Shanhai City is about to usher in a new era.

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

May 8, Lion City.

With the signing of the five-country trade agreement, ASEAN affairs finally came to an end. The "enemy" and "friends" of ASEAN countries have gradually become clear, clearing the final obstacles for the opening up of Xingzhou and counties.

More than ten days have passed since the fall of Xingguo, and domestic players have long calmed down from surprises. As a result, the calls for Shanhai City to open up Xingzhou County are getting higher and higher.

It was against this background that Ouyang Shuo invited a group of leaders from the [Shanhai Alliance-Guizhou Alliance] to visit Lion City to discuss major events.

The presidents of Blood Romance naturally went there happily. There are previous examples of Yashan City, and they knew in their hearts that if Xingzhou County was open, as allies, the guilds would enjoy priority.

They guessed right, Ouyang Shuo was going to play a big ticket this time.

"Please look!" In the middle of the hall, this ASEAN map was hung. Ouyang Shuo held the Red Sword and pointed to more than a dozen small islands around Sin Chew Port and said: "Although these islands are small, they are very close to the Jinzhou Island of Java. They are definitely the best national war PK area."

When the blood-colored romantic heard this, his eyes lit up, "Can [Blood Evil Mercenary Group] rent an island?"

Xie Siyun and others looked at each other and smiled. Bloody Romance is worthy of being a PK madman. I think it is also known that if there are team leaders like Bloody Romance, what kind of militants are there in the [Blood Evil Mercenary Group].

As soon as the blood-colored romantic came, I wanted to rent an island, but I thought I was preparing to fight a protracted war.

Ouyang Shuo glanced at the Blood-Secret Romantic, but shook his head, and without waiting for the Blood-Secret Romantic to speak, he continued: "These small islands are only sold but not rented."

"Sell?" Blood-colored romantic almost jumped up, looking anxious, "Tell me quickly, how to sell it?"

"Each island is priced at 100,000 gold coins. After the guild buys it, it is equivalent to a concession built within the territory. It has absolute management rights over the island and will never interfere with Shanhai City." Ouyang Shuo said.

"Are you serious?" Blood-colored romantic is unbelievable. The conditions are too generous.

Buying an island that can only build a small village with 100,000 gold coins looks a bit expensive, but it is actually not a loss at all. You should know that there is no guild in China that can have a station in the wilderness.

This alone is enough to make the guild crazy. Not to mention that these islands are of great significance. In addition to being used as a cutting-edge base for national war PK, they can also use this as a springboard to conduct ocean adventures.

For adventure players, such an island is simply an adventure paradise.

If the guild has a little economic mind, opens the island to other adventure players, and builds some targeted stores such as pharmacies and equipment repair shops, it will definitely make a big profit.

"Nature. If you need it, Shanhaicheng also provides one-stop engineering construction services from design to construction. How about it?" Ouyang Shuo's smile was already filled with the smell of copper.

The lord who loves money like life is back!

"Brother Wuyi is really refreshing, I bought it!" Blood-colored romantic no longer hesitated, and felt that Ouyang Shuo was very up to his temper. He went straight to the map and prepared to choose an island.

"This is it!" Bloody Romantic took a fancy to the outermost island, and said that he paid 100,000 gold coins on the spot. Sure enough, he asked: "How to calculate the construction cost?"

"The specific cost depends on the design, let's discuss it in detail. Even if you want to build the island into a fortress with iron walls, the Shanhai City Construction Department can do it. In addition, if you need artillery, Shanhai City is willing to sell it at a friendly price of one thousand gold coins per game, with a large amount of money," said Ouyang Shuo.

"All cannons are sold?" The blood-colored romance was speechless.

"As long as the price is right, there are no non-sale weapons and equipment in Shanhai City." Ouyang Shuo is not like a big lord now, but is simply a philistine businessman who has completely gotten into the eyes of money.

"Hiss~~~"

Even the blood-colored romance was shocked by Ouyang Shuo's heroic spirit.

Of course Ouyang Shuo was not crazy.

If these micro islands were operated by Shanhai City, they would naturally make a big profit, and would definitely have a return of more than 100,000 gold coins. The problem is that in this way, Shanhai City would need to worry about maintaining the order of the island.

I think I know what kind of players will be a group of players who climb such an island. They either kill, or like to pursue extreme stimulation and enjoy this PK pleasure that is wandering on the edge of death.

No matter which one is, he is a rebellious person.

To manage such players, the local security forces in Shanhaicheng are very inexperienced, and something may happen if they are done well. Once they are suppressed strongly, it will affect the reputation of Shanhaicheng, which is thankless.

If the island is sold to a guild, the situation will be completely different. If the island belongs to the guild, Ouyang Shuo will bother to manage the island well.

Guilds are the real experts when it comes to how to manage adventure players. No matter how unruly the players are, they can only be obedient under the rule of Guilds.

This is the real win-win situation.

As for selling weapons and equipment such as artillery, in addition to making money, it is to strengthen the defense of the island. Build into a fortress with iron walls, which is not just a saying.

Only when the island is as stable as Mount Tai, can Sin Chew Port not be harassed by Java players.

If so, the adventure players stationed on the islands actually act as the most "loyal" iron-blooded guard in the Lion City. This guard is not only free, but also very passionate.

Such a good thing can't be found even with a lantern.

It’s not that Ouyang Shuo is treacherous or that he is despicable. Even the passionate patriots are taking advantage of. He is just using resources reasonably to achieve win-win results for all parties.

The calculations are really smart.

No matter how Ouyang Shuo planned, the leaders of the guild would not give up such a great opportunity. There are only twenty islands outside Xingzhou County, and even fewer can be used, with only fifteen or sixteen.

A superior geographical location is even more rare.

[Shanhai Alliance - Guild Alliance] has expanded to twelve Guilds. Except for [a wisp] that does not participate, the rest must be bought. In this way, eleven will be removed at once.

There are only four or five left for other guilds in China, and they are the worst. For the remaining islands, Shanhai City will be auctioned in the form of a public auction, and those with the highest prices will be awarded.

"Even if it is [Sword Qi Zongheng], as long as we are willing to pay a high price, we will sell it!" Ouyang Shuo made a bold statement, and that's what he really planned.

In the face of national war, we should not be too concerned about internal grievances.

If you exclude the top ten guilds such as [Sword Qi Zongheng], [Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry] and [Emperor Yiwei] because you do not belong to the same camp, you will be too petty.

From now on, Ouyang Shuo will slowly create an atmosphere of unity and external relations at home. This will also be a subtle way to strengthen the role of leaders of other countries' wars.

Of course, when it comes to domestic competition, you have to fight how to fight.

"Clear inside and outside!" is Ouyang Shuo's style of doing things.

According to Ouyang Shuo's preliminary estimates, Shanhaicheng can earn at least two million gold coins by selling islands, engineering construction and selling weapons and equipment.

After a national war, Shanhai City's profits on the surface had exceeded 7 million gold coins, which was basically the same as the value of the North Bay treasure. Otherwise, how could it be said that war wealth is the fastest way to accumulate wealth?

Of course, this is Shanhai City.

If it were any other territory, no navy that dominated the ocean would be unable to play such a war game, and would be flooded by ASEAN countries in minutes.

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

After seeing off all the leaders of the guild, the affairs of Xingzhou County have basically come to an end. A few days ago, Pei Ju had already arrived in the Lion City to take office, and Ouyang Shuo had no need to worry about the specific government affairs of Xingzhou County.

On the day Pei Ju took office, Ouyang Shuo prepared a big gift for him.

Secretary Lang Bai Nanpu announced the appointment edict. After Pei Ju thanked him, Ouyang Shuo took out the seized magic weapon Xingguang Sword and said solemnly: "This sword is called Xingguang, which is the name of Xingzhou County. Those who hold this sword represent that this marquis will take charge of Xingzhou County, mediate ASEAN, and promote the power of our mountains and seas. Now I will give this sword to you, so I hope you will take care of it."

Although Xingzhou County is small, it is the first county in the territory to hang overseas. Both the symbolic and strategic significance are extraordinary and a huge test for the county magistrate.

It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo gave him a sword today.

There was a Shangfang sword in ancient times, and there is a Starlight sword now.

In ancient times, Shangfang sword was a supreme symbol. It was originally an emperor's weapon, and was given to senior officials and granted them privileges. You could kill first and then report outside.

"If I come in person!" is the most important overview of Shangfang's sword.

In a sense, the Starlight Sabre plays the role of Shangfang’s sword. Xingzhou County is isolated overseas and has some things that are difficult to ask the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate in a timely manner. The county magistrate must be given the right to make decisions in the battle.

The Starsabers are the manifestation of this privilege.

It can be imagined that Ouyang Shuo's sword gift will be a good story in the future.

When Pei Ju heard this, he knelt down and thanked him with excitement: "I thank you very much, and I will definitely not let you down the expectations of the king." As he said that, he stepped forward respectfully, took the Starlight Sword with both hands, and solemnly matched it around his waist.

As an experienced old minister, how could Pei Ju not understand the meaning of this sword? Such kindness of the king and the prince is already the highest honor for the minister.

Even if he is as calm as Pei Ju, he will inevitably feel excited.
