After discussing the matter of filling up the population, it was already noon.

"Today's court a.s.sembly will end here." Ouyang Shuo said without hesitation.

After the court a.s.sembly ended, Ouyang Shuo returned to the back palace.

At the back palace, Song Jia was talking to a middle-aged woman; they were both smiling, looking like they were having a happy conversation.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he smiled.

After the marriage, Song Jia had changed from her previous swordsman character; she had started to act more like the lady of the Marquis. She would interact with the wives of the officials in the territory, becoming Ouyang Shuo's right hand.

Along with her ability to separate work from personal matters, she was well loved by the people.

Having a wife like this, what more can I wish for?

Of course, Song Jia did not completely put down her cultivation. Every morning and evening, she would continue cultivating. Along with the vast resources of the Governor-General Manor, her martial arts improved at G.o.d speed.

The current Song Jia was like the legendary Kuihua Empress. Although she lived in the back palace, her martial arts were extremely strong, and the underworld had rumors spread about her.

These two mystical girls were similar.

When she saw Ouyang Shuo, the middle-aged woman immediately got up and bowed, “I am Lady Xian, greetings Monarch!"

Ouyang Shuo vaguely remembered that she was the wife of Huo Guang, Huo Xian. Looking at her, she seemed gentle and polite; one could not see any signs of her being the vicious wife in history.

At the side, Bing'er was playing with a young lady. When she heard the voice, she raised her head and looked at Ouyang Shuo. She crisply said, “Brother!" Before continuing to play.

Ouyang Shuo had no way to keep this little sister who was at her rebellious phase in check.

The little girl playing with her looked rather intelligent; she had large eyes and long eyelashes. Despite her young age, her cuteness showed a hint of beauty.

No wonder in the future she would grow up to become the root of troubles for her country.

"Chengjun greets Brother Monarch!"

She walked over in front of Ouyang Shuo and bowed.

When Ouyang Shuo heard these words, he laughed. Such a greeting was truly interesting. After thinking for a moment, he took out a green magnetic ohlite bracelet from his storage bag and personally put it on Huo Chengjun, “Come and play often!"

"Thank you, Brother Monarch!"

Huo Chengjun looked extremely happy, her cute cheeks filled with emotion.

When Huo Xian saw this exchange, a similar joy appeared in her eyes. The Monarch personally granting you a gift was an immense honor. Furthermore, it was a mystical gift like the magnetic ohlite, so who knows how many other people would feel envious about it.

First, Ouyang Shuo gave her this gift because he truly liked her; she was so cute and smart at such a young age. The saying that she was the root of evil was just nonsense created by writers about a weak and helpless girl.

Secondly, he wanted to use this chance to get closer to the Huo Family.

Huo Qubing and Huo Guang, these two brothers were the civil servant and general of the territory.

Especially Huo Qubing, who was alone, probably only his brother's family could bring him some warmth. Ouyang Shuo also heard that Huo Qubing really doted on this little niece.

The current Ouyang Shuo was not so pure when he did many things.

The moment the court a.s.sembly ended, the news spread across the China region and caused plenty of debate.

Some were excited while some were terrified.

The most excited ones were naturally the adventure gamemode players in China, especially the commoner players that had long wished to move to Shanhai City.

In their hearts, Shanhai City was the safest city in China. Even imperial cities could be occupied, only Shanhai City would remain infallible.

Just this point was enough for players to grow crazy over.

Not to mention that along with the opening of the ma.s.sive sea route, Shanhai City had slowly opened its windows to the outside world.

Business opportunities within the city were everywhere.

All of a sudden, numerous player groups, guilds, and chambers of commerce swarmed over.

The first to be approached was the office of Shanhai City in the nine imperial cities. The players were eager to learn the requirements of Shanhai City.

400 thousand seemed like a large number but it was a small number relative to 10s of millions of players. Hence, even if Shanhai City had lowered the requirements to enter, not everyone could move in.

The next day, Nanjiang Governor-General House, Administration Bureau, and Civil Affairs Department announced three migration terms. Adventure gamemode players, chambers of commerce, organizations, and people with good reputation would have priority.

Players with the intention to migrate needed to send in an application to the imperial city office. After the Civil Affairs Department pa.s.sed them, they would give them their household registration doc.u.ments.

This also meant that pure combat occupation players, especially those with PK records, would be rejected.

On the contrary, the chambers of commerce with good reputations would be welcomed with open arms. Some small guilds and mercenary groups were similarly sought after.

On the other hand, towards solo players, Shanhai City held a careful att.i.tude.

Solo players were either exceptional technical people, extremely arrogant people, or just weird people. All in all, they were not easy to manage.

As for the top 10 guilds in the nine imperial cities, they were all rejected. Even the branch guilds of the Shanhai City Alliance were rejected, including Snow-War Rose.

This migration used a descriptive phrase that was not that suitable, the terms being 'middle cla.s.s' or 'middle or small enterprises with an ability to survive.'

Since these people had some technical ability and financial stability, they would be able to develop here. With that, they would be able to make it a win-win situation.

Four Seas Bank Treasurer Meng Zhida has already said that as long as the time was right, and the conditions were met, they were willing to grant loans to the player chambers of commerce and adventure groups to support them.

This message was undoubtedly important news to the numerous medium and small chambers of commerce.

Developing voyage trade required a vast quant.i.ty of funds, not to mention buying merchant s.h.i.+ps, hiring sailors, and purchasing resources.

With the support of the Four Seas Bank, everything would be solved.

In truth, when Ouyang Shuo returned, Meng Zhida had used the memorial to describe this aspect. The Four Seas Bank's ability to attract loans was too astonis.h.i.+ng, just relying on Lords borrowing could not keep up.

Furthermore, Lords borrowing had the risk of contract breach.

Meanwhile, player chambers of commerce, and small adventurer squads had been overlooked. However, they were actually a market with huge potential. Just one chamber of commerce might not need a lot of gold but hundreds and thousands, even tens of thousands of them would need a terrifying amount of gold.

Before this, be it the Four Seas Bank or the Huitong Bank, they would not loan to these chambers of commerce. They were worried that these parties would not be able to return the loans.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo did not immediately accept Meng Zhida's suggestion.

However, now was a good time. Anyone that was taken in by Shanhai City had been through many layers of selection and investigation, so their backgrounds were clean, and they had good reputations.

After moving into Shanhai City, they would be bounded by the territory law system, and the fixed a.s.sets they bought in the city would also be under the supervision of the city.

With that, the risk would be minimalized.

Using long-distance trading returns as collateral, giving loans grew smoother.

With that, it both solved the loan problems of the Four Seas Bank and brought life to the small and mid-sized chambers of commerce, allowing them to grow quickly. This would in turn truly make voyage trading prosperous.

Everything was linked together and formed a G.o.d-like interest chain.

One could foresee that if this plan succeeded, the trading in Shanhai City would take another huge step up.

Shanhai City would be destined to be a city filled with energy and drive. It was the star for young people who were willing to give it their all; it was not an old folks home for players.

This was the migration catchphrase that the Civil Affairs Department had come up with.

The moment this catchphrase came out, it reverberated amongst numerous players. At this moment, they truly felt that they were truly close to the tall and mighty best player in China.

During this migration, Shanhai City did not think about giving benefits to the commoner players.

Such a thing could be understood but could not be verbalized.

Furthermore, elite did not mean they were bad, and commoner did not mean that they were good.

After experiencing so much, Ouyang Shuo obviously had such basic knowledge. He had already learned not to generalize people and make such deductions of good and bad.

As long as it was good for the prosperity of Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo welcomed it all.

Yunnan Province, Tengyue Prefecture, Tengchong City.

An emergency meeting between the four city-states was being held in the Lord's Manor of Tengchong City.

The host of this meeting was the Lord of Tengchong City, Qin Feng. At the same time, he was the chair of the Yunnan City-State. He suddenly received emergency news and his face sunk.

"Guys,” Qin Feng solemnly said, “I've just received news that Qiyue Wuyi has openly announced in the court a.s.sembly that he wants revenge against Yunnan City-State. The reason given was the matter of Qiubei City attacking the border of Zhen An Prefecture."

As he spoke, Qin Feng looked at the Lord of Qiubei City, his face growing darker and darker.

"As expected, have they already declared war?"

The one who spoke was the representative of the Xiangnan City-State, Caiyun Zinan.

When Ouyang Shuo returned, they knew that such a day would arrive. Who knew that it would come so fast and swift.

"Was there any specific news?" Caiyun Zinan asked.

"Qiyue Wuyi has sent his strongest legion - the Guards Legion - to rush to the border to gather with their Dragon Legion Corps. At the same time, Bai Hua has also openly announced that they will advance together with Shanhai City. The only war fighting legion in Consonance City has proceeded toward the border."

The large meeting room instantly fell totally silent.
