After dealing with Zhenhai City matters, Ouyang Shuo finally had some free time.

Organizing the military and calming down Zhaoqing Prefecture; these two jobs would take place at the same time. Even so, without a month, they could not reap any rewards.

Making use of this rare rest time, Ouyang Shuo was ready to set off and tour Zhaoqing Prefecture.

Although Zhaoqing Prefecture had calmed down, the hearts of the people had not. The government had posted announcements to try to soothe them, but they all remained frightened.

The death of their Lord, the loss of their army, and the surrender. Even after a month, they still remembered these events fervently.

Fear and uncertainty shrouded the entire Zhaoqing Prefecture.

Over the skies of Zhaoqing Prefecture, the gloomy clouds signaled death and despair.

Based on the reports of the Black Snake Guards, hundreds of people had move out of some of the cities.

In the wilderness, people formed their most significant strategic resource.

Ouyang Shuo’s heart pained from the loss of people in Zhaoqing Prefecture. He ordered the Internal Affairs Department to strengthen their control, and he was also ready to personally go down.

At such a moment, as the Lord, Ouyang Shuo naturally needed to calm his people.

The 1st regiment of the Guards Division accompanied him. Although they had pacified Zhaoqing Prefecture, Ouyang Shuo still did not dare to set off alone.

With the Guards Division’s presence, he would face no danger.

Of course, the night before he set out, Ouyang Shuo booked the most prominent restaurant in Wulong City. He held a feast to thank the scholars, the officials, the merchants, and the old people of the city for their support of the Shanhai City Army.

Ouyang Shuo had promised this thanking feast when he had just moved in. Hence, before he left on his tour, he had to fulfill it.

Making use of this chance, he also sent Song Wen and the others off.

Tomorrow, Song Wen would move to Zhenhai County, while his family would move to Shanhai City, where Song Jia would receive them.

Ouyang Shuo had already instructed Shanhai City Mayor Zang Wenzhong to grant a piece of land to the Song Family in the west region.

Not long ago, when they perfected the basic structure and roads in Shanhai City, the Construction Division had helped to reorganize and plan the districts in the city.

Before this, Shanhai City was separated into Imperial City, Inner City, Qiushui City, Friendship City, and outer city. The sizes between the regions completely did not match.

Especially the outer city, which took up two-thirds of the land area. It stretched out to every corner of the territory, and one totally could not call it an outer city.

As Shanhai City prospered day by day, many people would swarm in endlessly, including merchants, scholars, and tourists that came over to play. The position of Shanhai City in China was growing more and more critical. As a result, they needed to logically plan out the regions and districts now. If not, they would become a laughing stock.

In the end, Shanhai City made use of the classic three by three grid to split up the city, dividing the city into nine regions.

The nine regions would have its central area located at the intersection between Friendship River and Qiushui River. East, west, north, and south; these four huge city regions, as well as northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast.
