Chapter 596-Famous General Zhao She

Translator: ryangohsf

Editor: Nora

As the new year approached, it seemed to be an extremely suitable time to find loved ones and visit friends.

Following Huo Guang’s arrival, another person came to Shanhai City the next day. This person was a general and Zhao Kuo’s father – Mafu Lord Zhao She.

On the topic of Zhao She, his most famous moment was during the Battle of E Yu.

During this battle, Zhao She had led his troops to defeat the arrogant Qin Army, spreading his name across the six states. After the battle, the Zhao King awarded him the title of Mafu Lord, and he became a presence on the same level as Lianpo.

After the Battle of Changping ended, Zhao She had already entered the wilderness.

Zhao Kuo’s loss at Changping broke the foundation of the Zhao Country, making Zhao She feel extremely ashamed. As a result, he did not want to reunite with this son of his. However, blood was thicker than water after all, so he continued to pay attention to his son’s performance.

Currently, Zhao Kuo was shining brightly in Shanhai City. He was even Ouyang Shuo’s advisor during the Battle of Mobei and had made miraculous contributions.

Hence, Zhao Kuo had finally obtained the recognition of his father.

Fittingly, the Chinese New Year neared, so he chose such a time to arrive. The other members of the Zhao Family also came along.

Regarding Zhao She’s arrival in Shanhai City, the happiest person was definitely Zhao Kuo.

Yearning, recognition….

Various emotions interlaced in his heart; a complicated series of feelings.

The reunion of father and son was truly a touching scene.

At the current moment, be it Zhao She or Zhao Kuo, both were filled with thoughts and emotions.

Ouyang Shuo did not disturb them. On the contrary, Zhao She was the one who put his feelings on hold and immediately greeted Ouyang Shuo and swiftly announced his loyalty.

This was exactly how generals dealt with their matters.

At this point, Shanhai City had acquired another strong general!

Name: Zhao She (King Rank)

Dynasty: Warring States (Zhao)

Identity: Shanhai City General

Occupation: advanced general

Loyalty: 75

Command: 78

Force: 70

Intelligence: 58

Politics: 55

Specialty: Chase (15% increase in combat strength of troops, 20%15% increase in movement speed of troops.)

Cultivation method: –

Equipment: –

Evaluation: Mafu of the Zhao State, a majestic and chaste person. Started off as a minor officer and performed his duties well. He caught aristocrats who did wrong and was in turn promoted to the land tax collector. During the war, he was appointed to lead troops. In the end, he was promoted to the position of administrator of a district called Mafu.

Zhao She’s stats could be considered a pinnacle presence amongst king rank generals. If the Warring States was not such a star studded period, he would definitely be considered an emperor rank general.

Ouyang Shuo was not careless and immediately appointed him as the 3rd division major general of the 2nd legion of the Tiger Legion Corps.

With his character, he could maintain fairness. As such, the most suitable position for him was Military Law Secretary, which was commonly known as the Judge Advocate General.

As there were no suitable choices for that position, Du Ruhui had been temporarily taking charge of the role.

However, Zhao Kuo was already the deputy director of the Military Affairs Bureau. If the father and son pair both worked in the same unit, it might cause rumors to spread.

Ouyang Shuo could only choose the second best option and send him to the Tiger Legion Corps.

Making use of this chance, Ouyang Shuo also named a Military Law Secretary. The person he chose was far from what Du Ruhui had expected, he actually chose the Taiping Country fallen general, Feng Yunshan.

Similar to Zhao She, Feng Yunshan had a righteous personality. With the learning opportunity at the Army Military Academy, it was within his ability to become the Judge Advocate General.

Apart from this, Ouyang Shuo had a deeper layer of meaning for appointing him.

During this military reorganization, more than half of the soldiers in the three legion corps were surrendered soldiers, so their discipline was lax and they fought against control. This matter had already became a huge issue for Du Ruhui.

Feng Yunshan being from the Taiping Army had both its pro and cons.

Making him the Judge Advocate General was both a consolation and also a warning to the surrendered soldiers that military discipline was not a child’s game.

Solving the military discipline problem was a massive test for Feng Yunshan. The first test was if Feng Yunshan could be sufficiently vicious and merciless.

Ouyang Shuo believed that Feng Yunshan could understand the deeper meaning within this appointment.

Of course, Feng Yunshan’s promotion was partially due to Sun Wu’s recommendation.

As the principal of the Army Military Academy, although he did not participate in territory strategies, he had accepted Ouyang Shuo’s request to evaluate the generals in the academy.

Only Ouyang Shuo could see these evaluations.

It was through his evaluation that Sun Wu pointed out that Feng Yunshan had an exceptional talent in military law. With that, after all considerations, Ouyang Shuo decided to choose Feng Yunshan.

Successively obtaining the loyalty of both Huo Guang and Zhao She delighted Ouyang Shuo.

Talents arriving without invitation was a sign of the prosperity of the territory.

Ouyang Shuo had reason to believe that with the pinnacle existences of West Han in Xiao He, Han Xin, Huo Qubing, Huo Guang, and Xia Houying, he would hold an immense attraction to the historical people of that era.

Regretfully, during the West Han period, Xiao He’s children were all normal and were not moldable into capable talents. During the Northern and Southern Dynasty, Xiao He’s 25th generation Sun Xiaoyan formed the Lianzhou Dynasty.

Meanwhile, Han Xin’s family was destroyed, and he had no descendants left.

After Huo Guang’s death, his family was also destroyed.

With this, one could see how difficult it was for an aristocratic family to last over several hundred years.

As an official, if one was not careful, the emperor could order for their entire family to be wiped out.

West Han had many talents that were largely gathered during the Hanwu Emperor’s time, while the various dynasties after that had many lesser talents. The end of the Hanwu Emperor was also the turning point from good to bad.

The true talent explosion happened during the East Han.

……

After dealing with the matters at hand, on the 1st month, 24th day, Ouyang Shuo set off toward the location of the alliance gathering – Tianya Villa.

Song Jia and Bing’er also followed.

After being busy for an entire year, it was time for Ouyang Shuo to spend time with his family and take a good rest.

The meeting was one aspect of the alliance meeting, while the other was to have a holiday. Not only Ouyang Shuo, he had already invited the other members to bring along their family.

This could also be considered an attempt at establishing relationships.

Apart from Song Jia, the parents of the others were all invited.

Before which, Song Jia had described Ouyang Shuo’s time travel theory. Hence, that activated the rise of the Song Chamber of Commerce in Shanhai City.

Perfume, soap, and Qipao; the Song Chamber of Commerce developed all of these items, becoming worthy of being called a money-sucking machine.

Needless to say, just the emergence of perfume and soap attracted the attention of all the females in the city.

Dudou, Qipao, and similar items were popular due to the specialty of Shanhai City – the colored silk. The vibrant colors made these two items extremely popular, and they instantly became hot selling products.

Apart from that, as the wife of the Lord, Song Jia personally chaired the sales of these products. She gathered the rich missus of the city to display these new items.

With that, the sales routes truly opened up.

All of a sudden, the name of the Song Chamber of Commerce rose in prominence.

Since the chamber of commerce had a chance to rise up, Song Tianxiong was naturally filled with ambition. During the exchange, Song Tianxiong had convinced his family members to exchange for four hundred thousand gold.

Apart from a portion used to return loans, the rest of this sum of money was invested into the chamber of commerce.

Song Tianxiong’s goal was to sell these items to the imperial city. Especially perfume, these items were small but the profits were high. Moreover, it was easily transported by the storage bags of players.

Of course, there were still some worrying factors.

These items were new and amazing to the natives, but the players with diverse knowledge immediately saw through the theory behind it.

News spread that in the various regions, similar items were appearing.

The current China region lacked monopolies. Furthermore, strictly speaking, the Song Chamber of Commerce was stealing modern ideas, so they had no right to say that other people were copying them.

Hence, Song Tianxiong had no choice. He could only hope to use funds to build up his brand and take up a huge portion of the market.

As for swallowing up the entire thing, that was nearly impossible.

Even without considering other reasons, they already had competition in the territory.

Their biggest competitor was naturally Thread in Yashan City.

Since the start, Thread was a player guild made of purely work occupation players, and they had a batch of advanced ranked players. Their researching ability regarding items such as perfume and Qipao was far superior to the Song Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why they had not adopted such an approach was because they were locked into habitual thinking. The moment they were awoken from that state, their research would not stop.

In less than a month, the products that Thread had pushed out were far better than the Song Chamber of Commerce in terms of both variety or quality, which gave Song Tianxiong a complete headache.

As for the funds advantage, that totally did not need to be mentioned.

No matter how rich the Song Family was, it was not enough to compete with a guild.

Thread in Yashan City was progressing at a tremendous speed, and its member count had once again climbed to one hundred thousand. They already had the ability to be listed as one of the top 10 guilds.

Qing Sikou had millions of usable funds in gold.

All of a sudden, Threat actually had a sign of coming from behind, its reputation blooming.

Luckily, at the crucial moment, Song Jia stepped up, making the other player work occupation guild Fallen Moon Guild work together with them.

Only then did the Song Chamber of Commerce gain a foothold in their battle with Thread.

Luckily, the current market was not oversaturated. Between the two, it was a friendly competition. If not, it would really put Ouyang Shuo in a tough situation.

From Ouyang Shuo’s point of view, both sides were huge tax payers in the territory. He would not be biased just because of Song Jia.

On this point, Ouyang Shuo had a clear understanding.
