Chapter 441 The Song Family's Way Out

Not long after Song Jia left, Du Ruhui and the others hurried to the main hall.

"Your Majesty!"

"sit!"

Ouyang Shuo briefly recounted the Rhinoceros Valley incident.

The three of them are all human beings, and they immediately understood why they were called by the lord to discuss matters. Especially Xia Houying, who had just assumed office, had a flash of excitement in his eyes.

Xia Houying didn't expect such a good thing to happen as soon as he took office.

Ouyang Shuo handed the "Iron Armored Beast Domestication Technical Manual" to Xia Houying, and said solemnly, "The Rhinoceros Valley is under the direct jurisdiction of the Codex and Animal Husbandry Administration, so it must be taken care of properly."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

For Xia Houying, this is a good opportunity to win the trust of the prince. Even if Junhou doesn't say anything, he will definitely make this matter beautiful.

Taming iron-clad beasts, as you know, is not an easy task.

Although the armored beast is derived from a rhinoceros, its temperament is by no means as docile as a rhinoceros. Just how to make the armored beast accept humans and let humans approach is a big problem.

In addition, what are the habits of the armored beast?

what do they eat What not to eat? What should I do if I am sick? When do estrus and breed offspring? Etc., etc. Contents such as these are recorded in the "Manual of Ironclad Beast Taming Techniques", but what is on paper is one thing, and actual operation is another.

Just take feed as an example.

Ironclad beasts are herbivores, and naturally eat anything in the wild. If you switch to captive breeding, you must configure special forage, and the knowledge in this alone will be great.

Feed for the farm is one thing, but how to ensure the supply of fodder when the armored beasts are actually incorporated into the army? Another headache.

Domestication of armored beasts is not like war horses, there are precedents to follow.

Even so, Xia Houying is still full of confidence, which is rooted in his rich experience in raising horses.

War horses and armored beasts have something in common after all.

In addition to domesticating iron armored beasts, the duty of the combat readiness department is to customize armor for iron armored beasts.

Iron armored beasts are more precious than green clam horses. Naturally, they must be well protected. If one is killed in battle, it will be a huge loss. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and a mount without armor cannot survive for a long time.

In addition to protecting key parts such as the abdomen, joints, and head, the horns of the armored beast should also be protected. Used well, this horn is a sharp weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield.

Ouyang Shuo has a deep understanding of this.

On the battlefield, if you are hit by the horn of an armored beast, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

Finally, the selection of soldiers is the most difficult.

Because the number of armored beasts is limited, only one guard is considered for the time being, that is, three thousand establishments.

The number of mountain barbarians is limited after all.

For the Shanman tribe who settled in the territory, the elite Shanman fighters were basically selected, mainly concentrated in the two Shanman heavy infantry brigades of the third division of the Longxiang Army.

Naturally, Ouyang Shuo would not demolish the platform of the Shanman Heavy Infantry Brigade, the only way was to find new soldiers. Unfortunately, with the establishment of Chiyou City, the barbarians in the Hundred Thousand Mountains were basically wiped out.

The only way is to take down Chiyou City.

Fortunately, the construction of Rhino Valley, the breeding of armored beasts, the development of armor and subsequent large-scale manufacturing all take time, and there is still time.

Especially the breeding of Iron Armored Beasts may take a long time.

To form Iron Armored Guards, you can't go fishing in the dry lake, and you have to wait until the number of Iron Armored Beasts in Rhino Valley reaches a certain scale.

This matter has to be discussed in the long run.

***********

On August 3rd, Song Jia went to Tianshuang County.

That afternoon, she brought her parents to Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo waited early beside the teleportation formation, accompanied only by Zisu. Ouyang Shuo not only greeted them personally, but also led the ministers of the territory to greet them with no fanfare.

I think Song Jia's father would understand the deep meaning in it.

Song Jia's father was in his fifties, vigorous and refined. Occasionally, a bright light flashed in his eyes, showing the shrewdness of this person, the shrewdness of a businessman.

He is at the helm of the Song Corporation in reality.

Song Jia's mother is a gentle woman with a fair and delicate face; her dress looks simple, but in fact she has extraordinary taste, and she pays attention to every detail.

Song Jia's genes are probably inherited from her mother.

"uncle and auntie!"

Ouyang Shuo stepped forward to greet him.

"Is it Xiao Shuo? It's better to be famous than to meet."

Song Jia's father stepped forward and shook hands with Ouyang Shuo, his attitude was still kind.

"Uncle won the prize!"

Song Jia's mother, accompanied by Song Jia, followed behind, looking at Ouyang Shuo gently.

In the morning, Ouyang Shuo specially chose a set of scholar's uniform, matched with his handsome and resolute face, elegant with a trace of calmness and extraordinary demeanor.

As the saying goes, when a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is.

Song Jia's mother's first impression of Ouyang Shuo was very good.

"Jia Jia, you have vision."

"Of course, it doesn't matter who it is."

In front of her mother, Song Jia is just a little girl, not humble.

"That's right, it doesn't matter whose daughter it is."

"Mother!"

Song Jia felt a little helpless at her mother's teasing.

The personalities of the mother and daughter are really similar. Song Jia's mother was also so naughty when she was young.

"Please!"

Ouyang Shuo led the way.

When Shanhai City was expanded, Wangcheng also underwent a reconstruction.

On the square in front of the Duhu Mansion, a large pool was built, and a sculpture stood in the pool, which was the logo of Shanhai Ling. From the mouth of the dragon, streams of water sprayed out.

Under the sunlight, there are rainbows, which are extremely beautiful.

Ouyang Shuo led Song Jia's parents to the back hall, and after a short rest, they went to the back garden together.

The entire back garden is constantly under construction, becoming more and more refined, with more and more scenic spots, and gradually has the atmosphere of a royal garden. In today's season, the garden is still full of flowers, the singing of birds is crisp, and the fish are shallow.

On the lawn, there are even deer playing.

Vaguely, rabbits, goats, peacocks and other small animals can be seen everywhere. Needless to say, these small animals were specially domesticated at Binger's request.

The entire back garden is a paradise for little girls.

Ouyang Shuo even had someone build a modern playground in a corner of the garden. In the playground, there are not only swings, slides and other items, but also a small castle.

Ouyang Shuo's love for Bing'er is truly second to none.

Therefore, only those who are particularly close can be invited to the back garden as guests.

On the attic, Zisu has already arranged the afternoon tea with someone.

The four of them walked through the gravel road and climbed up to the attic. Overlooking from the building, you can have a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. It is really a great enjoyment to listen to the singing of birds, drink iced drinks and eat exquisite pastries with the help of mountains and rivers.

On the side of the attic, there is another woman playing the piano.

The melodious sound of the piano and the sound of the birds are perfectly integrated.

All of this was carefully arranged by Ouyang Shuo, specially entertaining Song Jia's parents.

"Xiao Shuo has a heart!"

Song Jia's father nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "It's just too late." With Ouyang Shuo's status, it was really sincere to take such painstaking arrangements.

Of course, Song Jia's father was also secretly reminding Ouyang Shuo not to play around with things. Of course the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but if you indulge in the mountains and rivers, it is not something a lord can do.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, humbly accepting advice.

In fact, he seldom comes to the back garden at ordinary times, and he doesn't have that time at all.

While chatting, two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Jiajia, take me to the garden!"

Song Jia's mother, how smart, knew that the two men should leave room for conversation.

"OK!"

Song Jia stood up with a smile.

After the two left, Ouyang Shuo talked with Song Jia's father in detail.

"Jia Jia must have told you what Second Uncle Jia Jia meant, right?"

"Say it."

"What do you think?"

Song Jia's father looked up at Ouyang Shuo with an unpredictable expression.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "The key is not what I think, but what do you think, Uncle?"

"..."

Silence, long silence.

"Hey!"

Song Jia's father let out a long sigh, picked up the teacup, and took a big sip.

"Second brother's heart is too big."

If only the second younger brother objected, Song Jia's father would not be afraid. The key reason why it was difficult for him was that his father, Song Jia's grandfather, also had an ambiguous attitude.

The entire Song family was filled with impetuousness.

Desires are hard to fill.

Ouyang Shuo was vaguely aware of this, so he didn't rush to express his opinion. He really shouldn't get too involved in the internal affairs of the Song family.

"Uncle, it's time for you to stand up!"

Seeing that Song Jia's father was still unable to make up his mind, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to speak up.

"Ok?!"

Song Jia's father suddenly raised his head, his sharp eyes almost pierced Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo's expression remained motionless, as steady as Mount Tai.

What he said was deliberate and not impromptu.

With the current situation of the Song family, the only solution is for Song Jia's grandfather to retire completely, and let Song Jia's father truly take charge of the family power.

Only in this way can Ouyang Shuo and the Song family cooperate with each other with confidence.

Otherwise, there will always be a rift between the two sides.

There was another silence.

Ouyang Shuo was very helpless, like a businessman, he was full of worries.

He is not a merchant, but a lord, a future king, who likes to act like a thunderbolt.

"you're right."

Maybe feeling Ouyang Shuo's determination and will, Song Jia's father finally made up his mind.

"It's time for a showdown with the old man."

After saying these words, Song Jia's father suddenly became relaxed.

That old man is a mountain that weighs on everyone in the family. It is hard for outsiders to imagine the courage and courage required to really challenge his authority.

Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo nodded in relief.

Ouyang Shuo had already prepared a plan for the Song family's future. After occupying Zhaoqing County, the Song family had to withdraw from Tianshuang County. As compensation, Ouyang Shuo will allow the Song family to return to their old business.

In Shanhailing, the establishment of the Song Chamber of Commerce was unimpeded.

This is Ouyang Shuo's promise to Song Jia's father.

In addition, the two brothers Song Wen and Song Wen will also be reused under the framework of the territory.
