Chapter 835 – God Detective Di Renjie

After sending away Kou Zhun, Ouyang Shuo finally had the time to take a look at the stats of Shanhai City.

Territory: Shanhai City (World’s First Capital City)

Hidden Building: Recruitment Hall, Silver Prayer House, General Appointment Stage, Wanming Pagoda, True Dragon Pool

Basic Buildings List:

Looking at the new stats, Ouyang Shuo’s first impression was that it was simplified.

The upgraded Capital City did not have a new population upper limit and there would be no more refugees. A basic building list did not exist anymore, and whatever one wanted to build was up to them.

The only aspect that remained unchanged was the five indexes, which quietly reflected the achievement of the territory.

The pros of upgrading to Capital City were not shown on the stat interface. With territory population as an example, Shanhai City would not receive new refugees but the entire territory would start to spawn new refugees.

Based on the setting by Gaia, after upgrading to Capital City, Prefectures, counties, towns, and even villages would spawn 1/5th of the refugee spawn rate for their grade, spawning a certain amount daily.

With Chuannan’s Tianjing City as an example, as a Prefecture city that was also within the territory buff, it could spawn 150 refugees every day.

Based on this calculation, each County would be 60, 15 for Town, and three for village.

Although the numbers were not large, if one slowly amassed it day by day, it was still a huge number.

With the vast territory of Shanhai City, this would mean an even more terrifying increase as each day they could get 50 thousand new refugees.

What kind of concept was that?

With the current land they had, each year they could gain 18 million in population. In four years, the population would break 100 million and chase up to the Ming Dynasty.

Without a doubt, this was the biggest benefit of upgrading to Capital City – the other rewards were nothing compared to this.

For one to upgrade to Capital City faster than others meant that their foundations would be stronger than them. No wonder the merit points needed for Duke was five times that of 1st class Marquis – Capital City and non-Capital City were not even on the same level.

One was up in the sky, one was down below.

Just this alone gave Ouyang Shuo the confidence to compete against Silver Hand.

No matter how many players Di Chen and the others recruited to their territories, it was not as fast as his spawning rate. Not to mention with this large amount of refugees as his base, Ouyang Shuo could also increase his recruitment of players.

In the future, even in the fight for players, Yanhuang Alliance could not compete with Shanhai City. Hence, it was like cutting off one of their core pillars.

No matter how many schemes Di Chen and the others played, they would not be able to deal a serious blow to Ouyang Shuo.

This was the way of the king.

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

After closing the territory stat page, Ouyang Shuo got up and left the main hall. He needed to take a trip to Wanming Pagoda to use the summoning chance to summon an official.

Since he was on the verge of establishing a country, he would not mind having too many civil servants.

The Wanming Pagoda was located at the north east corner of the imperial city, right beside the General Appointment Stage; further behind it was the True Dragon Pool.

The Recruitment Hall, Silver Prayer House, General Appointment Stage, Wanming Pagoda, True Dragon Pool, these five hidden buildings were all laid out, a really magnificent sight.

Getting used to all this, Ouyang Shuo had already become exceedingly calm.

“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for activating the Wanming Pagoda, you have one chance to recruit, will you do so?”

“Recruit!”

A white light shone across and an old man that was slightly plump spawned. He was roughly more than 50 years on and wore a bright smile on his face, making one feel close to him upon the first meeting.

“Di Renjie greets the Monarch!”

Ouyang Shuo was momentarily stunned before his face revealed a big wide smile.

He had actually obtained Di Renjie, who he had dreamed of, during the first recruitment. Ouyang Shuo really believed now that after the two evolutions of the fate dragon, he was finally a lucky guy.

His luck was just too good.

Ouyang Shuo regained his composure, helping Di Renjie up. Following Ouyang Shuo led him out of the pagoda and into the Governor-General Manor.

Di Renjie was born in the Taiyuan Di family, and he had worked many roles like Ningzhou Governor, Yuzhou Governor, and Fuzhou Governor.

As of 691, Di was serving as the military advisor to the Prefect of the capital Prefecture Luo Prefecture, when Wu Zetian promoted him to be the deputy minister of finance. In 692, Wu Zetian’s secret police official Lai Junchen falsely accused Di Renjie, causing him to be locked up. He was later exiled to be the magistrate of Pengze County.

In 696, during the middle of an attack by the Khitan Khan Sun Wanrong against Zhou Prefectures north of the Yellow River, Wu Zetian promoted Di Renjie to the position of Prefect of Wei Prefecture. Later in 697, Di was serving as the commandant at You Prefecture when Wu Zetian recalled him to Luoyang to serve as the deputy head of the examination bureau of government. She soon made Di Renjie the head of the examination bureau. In 700, Wu Zetian made Di Renjie the head of the legislative bureau. By this point, she was said to have respected him so greatly that she often just referred to him as the State Elder without referring to him by name.

Di Renjie was said to be legendary in judging cases and had never judged one wrongly.

When Di Renjie just went into Dali to work, there were many case files. He placed his heart to it and worked for an entire year before clearing it all out, using up 17 thousand men.

The name of God Detective started from then.

Along the way, Ouyang Shuo took a look at his stats.

Name: Di Renjie (God Rank)

Dynasty: Tang

Identity: Shanhai City Civil Servant

Occupation: Civil Servant

Loyalty: 70

Command: 75

Force: 48

Intelligence: 98

Politics: 95

Specialty: God Judge (raises territory honesty by 40%, raises territory efficiency by 25%, raises territory case solving skills by 55%, raises territory governing standard by 20%)

Yet another God Ranked official!

Not only was Di Renjie a God Detective, he was also a famous minister. Di Ren Jie used his actions to show his skill.

To invite him into the cabinet might be a waste of his talents.

Ouyang Shuo was thinking about placing him into the Internal Affairs Bureau to pair up with Wei Yang to manage the Procuratorate Division and be in charge of case handling.

As for the specifics, it still needed to be discussed.

As for the other hidden building, the True Dragon Pool, Ouyang Shuo was prepared to let Zhao Sihu enter, hoping that he could use this chance to breakthrough to King Rank.

Luo Shixin was also on the verge of breaking through and could become an Emperor Rank general at any moment. However, was he was far away in Dongchuan Prefecture, so he could only wait for the next month.

After welcoming Di Renjie, it was already noon. After having lunch with the new people, Ouyang Shuo went back to his reading room alone.

Although Shanhai City had upgraded to Capital City, Ouyang Shuo did not want to immediately apply to establish the country.

There were definitely missions to establish the country. The territory still had many things that had not been settled and decided. Ouyang Shuo did not want to rush it in case he overwhelmed himself.

Without thinking too far, Ouyang Shuo had not dealt with Minnan Province. He needed to stabilize the province before he established the country.

There was also the newly spawned Satellite City.

Just as Ouyang Shuo was about to summon Xiao He and Jiang Shang to discuss the choice of Governor of the four Prefectures, someone reported from outside that a person was requesting to see the Monarch.

“Who is it?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

The person who made the report was the Personal Guards Captain Xu Chu, and his face revealed a rarely seen emotion, “Monarch its Mister Wen Ruo.”

“Wen Ruo?”

Ouyang Shuo had no idea who he was.

Xu Chu smiled, hitting his own head, “It is Mister Xun Yu.”

“It’s him?” Ouyang Shuo was astonished, “Quickly invite him to the reading room.” After a short pause, Ouyang Shuo got up from his seat, “No. It is better I receive him myself.”

It seems like Xun Yu was planning to move into Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo did not expect that he would be able to attract such a talent right after upgrading to Capital City.

Along with the news of Shanhai City upgrading to Capital City being spread out, more and more people would come. The number would increase when Shanhai City established the country.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo would treat them all seriously, much less such a talent like Xun Yu.
