Since the Imperial Guard is the ace army, the position of the commander of the legion will naturally be the ace general who is the best in the entire army. Ma Chao and Lu Bu, the two peerless generals, convinced the soldiers in the army very much.

Among the four generals, Cao Chun, Ma Teng, Xiahou Ying and Zhang He, Cao Chun is slightly more suitable.

Ouyang Shuo is not in a hurry to make a decision. Anyway, the army will be reorganized at least one and a half months, so maybe there will be any unexpected surprises during this period.

…………

The wood bones are tied, the palace.

Ouyang Shuo had no intention of transforming the Somali Palace into another palace. According to the plan, the palace complex will be demolished and a provincial governor's office will be built on the original site.

There is a prison in the southwest corner of the palace, which was used by the former king to imprison special prisoners.

Ouyang Shuo appeared in the wood bones and carried out non-stop reception and comfort work as usual. In the afternoon, he was no longer patient and threw it all to the newly appointed provincial governor Pei Ju.

At around 3 pm, Ouyang Shuo brought his personal guards to this special prison.

In the dark and wet cell, the former Somalia king was being detained here. Ouyang Shuo did not want to see this person again, but the deceased claimed to use a top-secret document to make a deal with him.

Ouyang Shuo thought it was a mystery, but the Somalia king said the four words "Silver Hand".

This made Ouyang Shuo interested, so he had a prison. When he was attacked in Friendship City, Ouyang Shuo vaguely felt that the matter was probably not just as simple as the Somali royal family.

It seems that this is true now.

"Open the door!"

The dark and humid cell only had a small skylight on the high place, and the sun was hard to see the sun all day long. The ground was covered with a layer of straw, and a broken mat was placed on it.

There is nothing else besides this.

Standing at the door of the cell and looking at the old man curled in the dark corner with his hair disheveled, Ouyang Shuo couldn't believe that this was the majestic Somalia king before.

I think the Somalia king suffered a little during the arrest.

When he entered the cell, a pungent smell came to his face, making Ouyang Shuo frown.

The prison is temporarily guarded by soldiers of the Somali Corps. Seeing this, the "prisoner" who played the temporary guest said carefully: "Your Majesty, this place is dirty, so you won't be able to interrogate the matter?"

The prison environment should not be so bad. The soldiers of the Corps hated the king, so they deliberately made things difficult for them and arranged a worst cell.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "No need, I will leave after saying a few words." As he said that, he looked at the King of Somalia expressionlessly and said, "Say, what kind of transaction do you want to make with me?"

The Somalia king said in a stern voice: "Everything I did was planned by a mysterious man. Just a few days ago, the man met me."

"How do you know he is from [Silver Hand]?"

"He told me personally, and said that as long as I can repel the first wave of attacks, they will have a way to stop Daxia from attacking Somalia again."

The Somalia king wanted to say "conquest", but when he said something, he swallowed it.

Ouyang Shuo glanced at the other party indifferently and said, "I confess everything you know, I will spare you."

"Then, I, can I leave Somalia?"

Ouyang Shuo smiled, "What do you think? Even if I let you go, I am afraid you will not be able to get out of the wood bones."

Putting this person permanently under house arrest was Ouyang Shuo's greatest pardon. As for whether there would be any accidents during the house arrest that would lead to the death of the Somalia king, it cannot be guaranteed.

Ouyang Shuo's blackness and coldness have long been different from what he used to be.

“…”

The king of Somalia looked bleak, and he knew that the people in the royal city hated him to the core.

"Don't make any more illusions. If the things you confess cannot satisfy me, then wait to go to the gallows. I can also follow the will of the people." Ouyang Shuo said lightly.

The Somalia king shivered in fear and said tremblingly: "Write, I write, I write."

When Ouyang Shuo saw this, he was no longer interested in talking to this person. He turned around and left the prison. The next review will be subject to the Black Snake Guard, and Ouyang Shuo does not need to worry about it.

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

The next morning, Pei Ju came to report on the investigation of the treasury.

Pei Ju's face was hard to hide his joy, and he obviously gained a lot. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this time I checked the Mugudu Treasury and the inner treasury of the royal palace. A total of 2.55 million gold coins, 56 boxes of jewelry, more than 5,000 kilograms of spices of various types, and two treasures were presented to the king."

There were hundreds of supplies in the treasury and the inner treasury, but Pei Ju just picked up the key points. Somalia's weapons and equipment were lagging behind, and even the so-called fine products in the treasury could not reach the eye of Daxia. Pei Ju simply didn't say it.

Ouyang Shuo was stunned. He didn't expect that the Somali royal family was so rich, which was in sharp contrast to the poverty of Somali. After thinking about it, he realized it again.

I think most of these gold and silver treasures were looted through cooperation with pirates. When the Atlantic Fleet wiped out the nest of the [Sichelle Pirates] in the previous period, a large amount of gold and silver jewelry was also plundered.

With these 2.55 million gold coins, plus the one million reward from Gaia, and the expected income from the future auction of the Mugudushu Satellite City Guarding Guild, the direct gold coins alone will be around seven million.

If the profits of destroying pirates in the early stage are included, it will reach 8 million gold coins.

According to preliminary estimates by the Privy Council, the real-time war expenses and post-war pensions of this war, including subsequent military reorganization and replacement of related weapons and equipment, the total military expenditure is only one million gold coins.

The reconstruction expenditure of Somalia provinces, including the start of construction of large-scale projects such as infrastructure and ports, was also around 1.5 million gold coins.

In addition, the restoration of Friendship City and the compensation to merchants, which is about 500,000 gold coins.

After this calculation, the court not only did not need to allocate additional funds to the Somalia province, but also had a net income of 5 million gold coins, making a big profit, which made Ouyang Shuo quite satisfied.

Sure enough, war is the fastest way to gather wealth.

Considering that the end of the year is approaching, Ouyang Shuo needs to intercept a sum of funds in advance to prepare for the second global auction. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo put all the remaining five million gold coins into his personal pocket.

As for the gold, silver, jewelry and spices, Ouyang Shuo asked Pei Ju to pick some fine products and send them to the palace treasury, and all the remaining ones were sold to the three major royal merchants, and the funds obtained were transferred to the court's finances.

This is not a small amount, at least one million gold coins can be sold.

Since Gaia's year, Ouyang Shuo has successively stocked dozens of gold, silver and jewelry inwards, piled up like mountains. Of course, Song Jia and Bing'er alone cannot use all these jewelry.

However, as the lord of a country, Ouyang Shuo sometimes had to reward meritorious ministers under his command. Song Jia also wanted to reward female officials or other female relatives, so he had to store a batch of gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse.

To put it bluntly, this is what is used to win people's hearts. Only when the inner treasury is full can the royal family maintain its face.

…………

What Ouyang Shuo is most interested in is the two treasures that Pei Ju mentioned. Take them and check them one by one.

One picture and one symbol.

The picture is a sheepskin map, which looks a bit worn, as if it had been soaked in the sea for a long time, and there were even residues of seaweed. Ouyang Shuo was excited when he saw the name of the picture.

"Lemoria Civilization Relics Adventure Map": With this map, players can trigger corresponding plot tasks in the waters near Lemoria Civilization Relics. For specific functions, players are asked to explore them by themselves.

After being exposed to the Atlantis civilization, Ouyang Shuo specially read prehistoric supercivilization materials. Among them, the one that interested Ouyang Shuo the most was the Lemoria civilization, which was as famous as the Atlantis civilization.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I really had a day to get along with this mysterious civilization.

Looking at this old map, Ouyang Shuo's hands were trembling and excited.

There is no doubt that the prehistoric supercivilization that can be introduced into the game by Gaia is not a decoration. For example, the Atlantis civilization has brought novel technologies beyond the technological tree of the times to the game.

The Great Xia Dynasty is the biggest beneficiary of this technology.

Whether it is an underwater respirator or a mimetic aircraft, it has played an important role in Daxia's previous foreign wars, and can often win unexpectedly and become a trump card in Daxia.

Atlantis is now the focus of the Mediterranean.

Legend has it that there are four most famous civilizations in prehistoric history, namely the Gendaian civilization, the M civilization, the Atlantis civilization and the Lemoria civilization.

The Gentaian civilization existed in the first Sun Age and was a super-powered civilization. It is said that men among the Gentaians have a third eye and have super-powers such as prediction, killing, etc.

According to legend, the Gendaia continent is located in the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and South America.

The Mu civilization is also called the Mu Continent, which has been derived from the Mu Empire, which is said to be the first great empire on Earth. The king is called "Ram", Ra means the sun, and Mu means the mother, so the Mu Empire is called "the empire of the Mother of the Sun".

According to legend, the M continent is located in the Pacific Ocean, located in the south, and its area is equivalent to the sum of the areas of North and South America.

Then there is the Lemoria civilization.

Legend has it that the Lemoria civilization is the third civilized society that appeared on the earth after the destruction of the Mitram continent, and is the descendant of the survivors of the Mitram continent.

Lemoria is thin and weak, and cannot resist the invasion of wild beasts and foreign races on the surface, so she mostly lives under the ground and has extremely advanced technology.

The Lemorians of this era focused on [sensibility] and practiced with "sensibility" as their main practice. Those who accumulated the highest level of practice can distinguish between 3,000 colors and 2,500 fragrances.

According to legend, the Lemoria continent is located in the Indian Ocean, close to Australia, and continues to extend to the Pacific Ocean. However, the specific location is unverified, and I don’t know where it is placed by Gaia.

Ouyang Shuo speculated that it should be near Australia.

It just so happened that Ouyang Shuo planned to embark on his second long-range voyage in October, with the destination being Australia, in order to open up new long-range voyage routes and solve the problem of natural resources shortages such as iron ore and coal in the Daxia Dynasty.
