Chapter 887 –?Quiet Town

6th month, 12th day, Morocco Province Rabat City.

Mohammed the 6th’s appearance in Algeria and the news of him building a rogue nation made Ouyang Shuo hurriedly end his tour of Morocco and return to Rabat.

Provincial Governor Office.

Along with Ouyang Shuo, Provincial Governor Mulan Yue returned. She would hold the first meeting since she became Provincial Governor. The four Governors and the four directors of the Provincial Governor Office bureaus were all present.

Ouyang Shuo listened in, giving everyone present a lot of pressure.

On the way back, Ouyang Shuo already had a detailed discussion with Mulan Yue about how to reduce the influence of Mohammed the 6th’s rogue nation building to ensure the order of Morocco Province.

In this meeting, Mulan Yue handed out orders.

“Each office must increase their patrol, and the moment they find people spreading rumors, instantly catch them. We must also pay attention to their words. Try to lead their thoughts and let them realize that life under us is better.”

“The various migration projects must quicken their pace to try to complete the preparation work before the migrants arrive. This is one of our evaluation targets for the end of the year. If you do well, you will be rewarded; if you do not, then get ready to be replaced.”

When the officials heard that, they all replied in unison, “Yes Provincial Governor!”

Ouyang Shuo nodded. Mulan Yue might look young, but she had the ability to be stable in important situations.

With a little more training, she would be a great helper for Ouyang Shuo.

...

After the meeting, Ouyang Shuo summoned Black Snake, who hurried over.

Seeing the king, Black Snake directly sought forgiveness, “The Black Snake Guards have not done our job. I’m sorry my king!”

Ouyang Shuo waved him off, “This matter is not your fault.”

The intel network that the Black Snake Guards had built up overseas was still really weak and did not have much foundation in the east mountain regions of Morocco and Algeria. Hence, it was normal that they were unable to find Mohammed the 6th.

Furthermore, for Mohammed the 6th to reach Algeria so quickly, they must have definitely gone through official relays.

This meant that right after Mohammed the 6th passed through the border, the Algeria King had been helping him out.

Algeria was also one of the important members of the Mediterranean countries, so Ouyang Shuo had his doubts. He wondered if this series of matters, including the attack on Friendship City, involved the Mediterranean Lords.

Even to say that Silver Hand might have something to do about it. Without the Silver Hand coordinating everything, they definitely would not have been able to formulate such a plan.

The goal was simple. First, mess up the Great Xia Dynasty’s strategy to affect their relationship with the Mediterranean Lords and the African Lords. Secondly, increase their chips in the negotiations with the dynasty.

Such a huge negotiation; naturally, it was one where whoever had more chips would win.

A further consideration would be the interest conflicts of both sides in terms of colonizing Africa. If the Great Xia Dynasty gained a foothold in Africa, it would be bad for the European and American members of Silver Hand.

Silver Hand had never given up their attempts to restrict and suppress the Great Xia Dynasty.

“Our enemy is hard to deal with!” Ouyang Shuo exclaimed.

When Black Snake heard that, he nodded his head solemnly. Only when he went overseas did Black Snake feel the difficulty of intel work.

Many times, the problems and obstacles they faced were not things that money could solve.

Especially out of Asia, the racial differences made it hard for the Black Snake Guards to operate. For them to develop to such a scale was already a result of Black Snake’s intelligence and capabilities as a leader.

Since he had a feeling that Silver Hand was behind all this, Ouyang Shuo was really careful toward Algeria. If he started war with Algeria now, he would be falling for Silver Hand’s trap.

In such a scenario, not only would the Mediterranean negotiations stop, the African Lords would be wary and hate the dynasty. Then they would not be able to have any cooperation.

Taking a step back, Algeria was not as weak was Morocco. The moment a country war started, if the African and Mediterranean Lords came over, it would drag the Great Xia Dynasty into the mud.

If not, why would the Algeria royal family dare to make such a proclamation?

Killing intent flashed in Black Snake’s eyes, “My king, I’ll send someone to kill Mohammed the 6th.”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, “He naturally has to die, but this matter does not need to be rushed. We have to be patient. He is being so high profile, so maybe he has set a trap and is waiting for us to take the bait.”

“...” Black Snake kept silent.

Ouyang Shuo said, “Didn’t he bring a group of guards with him when he left? Let’s work on their families living in Rabat. Patiently plan and cast the line for the big fish. Morocco Province is fine, and we still have a lot of time. The Black Snake Guards also need to work with the various offices to clean out the province. With Mohammed the 6th coming out, those hidden rats will be really happy.”

“I understand!”

Black Snake nodded. Currently, he was emitting a killing aura. It seemed like a bloody storm was going to sweep past Morocco Province.

Ouyang Shuo rubbed his forehead and rested on his chair, “Go and make plans. Inform the boys not to worry and that I have faith in them.”

“Thank you king for your trust!”

Black Snake cupped his fists; his eyes were filled with emotion.

Mohammed the 6th appearing in Algeria gave the Black Snake Guards spies in charge of following him a lot of pressure. With the king’s words, they would feel much more relaxed.

In the big reading room, Ouyang Shuo laid on the chair, closing his eyes and contemplating. He was really exhausted. Recently, there was incident after incident, stressing him out.

After a long while, Ouyang Shuo opened his eyes and muttered, “This is getting more and more interesting.”

Although he was tired, the fight still had to go on.

Ouyang Shuo regained his fighting spirit. He raised his brush and wrote a letter to Zi Luolan to tell her that the negotiation had to go on. If this negotiation ended halfway, it would be as Silver Hand wanted.

In the letter, he reminded her to calm the members of the negotiation squad and bear the pressure. At the same time, he asked Kalia for help to keep the negotiation going.

Amongst the Mediterranean Lords, a large portion of them were not willing to destroy the relationship. As long as one used their brains and made use of diplomacy, Ouyang Shuo believed that the situation could be solved.

The key was not to panic.

In dealing with such problems, Chinese wisdom often was a good solution.

“If the negotiation succeeds, the credit goes to all of you, and I will heavily reward you with titles.” At the end of the letter, Ouyang Shuo wrote that.

The biggest reward in the dynasty was a title.

With such a huge reward, the negotiation team members would definitely give it their all.

...

The next morning, Ouyang Shuo packed up and was ready to return to Shanhai City.

Morocco had Mulan Yue and Shi Dakai in charge, so Ouyang Shuo did not worry. If he continued to remain in Rabat, it would instead make others worry and give allies doubts.

If Ouyang Shuo left just like this, those people focusing on the situation would not dare move lightly.

Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo gave Mulan Yue the words, ‘calm and silence.’ From today onward, Ouyang Shuo’s calligraphy had some skill, and he could write the sharpness of a king into his words.

Ouyang Shuo gave her these words not only to remind her about how to deal with Mohammed the 6th but also to remind her about the path of an official.

As an official, one needed to be calm.

When Mulan Yue received the copybook, she smiled, “I’ll hang this up in my reading room.”

Ouyang Shuo pointed at his heart and smiled, “Hanging it up is useless, you need to remember it in your heart.”

“Thank you king brother for your teachings.”

Mulan Yue bowed. She would obviously remember her brother’s teachings and care in her heart.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and walked into the teleportation formation.

...

At 10 AM, Ouyang Shuo returned to the Xia Palace.

News of Mohammed the 6th building a rogue nation only caused waves in the Mediterranean and Africa. There was no reaction in China, and it was still really calm.

Just as he sat down in the reading room, Ouyang Shuo said to Tsing Yi, “Let Pei Mo and Meng Zhida come over.”

“Yes!”

After a short while, the two of them rushed into the Imperial Reading Room, “Greetings my king!”

“Sit!”

Ouyang Shuo called them over to handle the migration matter. With his instructions, the matter would be done faster, and it would reduce the burden on Mulan Yue, “Pei Mo, how’s the progress on the Morocco migration?”

Pei Mo’s heart tightened. Although the king’s words were calm, Pei Mo realized that the king must be unhappy with the progress and replied carefully, “The Civil Affairs Department has already written the book introducing the province and passed it in the various imperial cities. Using the name of the dynasty, many people registered. Currently, we are rushing the evaluation process.”

Ouyang Shuo replied, “The migration must be quick this time. You can either loosen the conditions or increase the number of evaluators. If you do not have enough men, take it from the Zhili Prefecture office or other offices. Try to complete it within this half a month.”

“Yes my king!”

Pei Mo bowed and silently wiped off his cold sweat. ‘The aura of the son of god is truly different; I must treat every matter carefully.’
