In Liangshan Town, several shirtless men stood in front of Chu Tian.

Ahem...Chu Tian just wanted to select a navy commander.

After Xia Town and all the villages and towns had a population of 67,000, they were finally able to form a fleet that could cross the Yi River.

The southern part of Kaiyang County is divided into Hedong and Hexi. As the name suggests, the place east of the Yi River is Hedong, and the place west of the Yi River is Hexi. Some naming methods in ancient times were so simple and unpretentious.

Chutian's territory is in the west of Hexi, and further west is the scope of Taishan County. There are many villages and towns in the east of Hedong waiting for Chutian to conquer.

One problem he faced was the Yi River, which had expanded tenfold in area.

If you want to conquer the villages and towns east of the river, you must have a boat.

Liangshan Town has a third-level shipyard and a fourth-level dock. It was originally a gathering place for the water bandits "Liangshan Bo". After being occupied by Chutian, it became the location of the naval camp that was to be established in Xia Town.

To establish a naval battalion, the first thing needed is talent, a naval general.

There are countless famous naval generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they basically came from the forces in the Jiangdong area, such as Soochow, Eastern Jin, Southern Dynasty, Southern Song, Southern Ming, or the unified dynasty.

However, for now, the historical navy generals owned by the player lords are very rare. There is a lord in Yangzhou who has Liu Renzhan, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Chutian did not have a naval general, so he could only choose a silver-level hero to be the naval commander. Later, if there was a historical naval general, he would appoint him as a naval general.

Bronze and silver level heroes are still easy to find, they are equivalent to high level minions.

The four silver-level heroes in front of us are all familiar with water and can be used for transition.

Chutian checked the attributes one by one.

【Name】:Sun Liuwan

[Talent]: Silver level (Navy hero)

【Level】:45

[Identity]: Resident of Liangshan Town, familiar with water properties

[Commander]: 35 [Force]: 51 [Intelligence]: 36 [Politics]: 11 [Charm]: 65

[Characteristics]: Water General·Small (D-level characteristics, during water battle, own attack power, defense power +5, navy unit attack power, defense power +1)

Are the characteristics of naval heroes so powerful?

Chu Tian discovered that naval heroes have additional attack and defense bonuses in water battles.

This is a hidden attribute of all heroes and soldiers other than force, which can make up for the difference in force under special circumstances.

In other words, the generals of Cao Wei and Shu Han may not be able to defeat the generals of Soochow in a water battle, and they may even be beaten and flee.

"Lord" has a clear position for each military commander. If the lord is used well, it can have the effect of defeating the strong by the weak.

"Sun Liuwan, from now on, I will appoint you as the commander of the naval camp and train the naval camp."

Chu Tian was very satisfied with Sun Liuwan's characteristics and force. Although his commanding ability was a bit ugly, in Chu Tian's opinion, there was not much difference between a commanding ability of over 30 and a commanding ability of over 40.

With the current size of the navy in Xia Town, a strong general with good characteristics is more practical.

"Liangshan Town has assembled all the ships with water warfare capabilities in our territory, including two sailing ships and thirty-seven sentry ships. It requires more than 300 sailors and more than 100 naval soldiers."

Xia Liang followed Chu Tian holding the account book recording Xia Town's supplies. As long as Chu Tian asked about money and material reserves, she could answer fluently immediately.

If Fang Xuanling is Chu Tian's male secretary, then Xia Liang is Chu Tian's female secretary...

One person's thinking is biased towards ancient Confucianism, and another person's thinking is biased towards the modern concept of profit first.

It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which is why Chutian needs two different styles of long history.

Fang Xuanling is better at handling military affairs and government affairs, while Xia Liang is more suitable for trade and financial management. Players also have the advantage of knowing what is going on outside the Donghan District, so Xia Liang can come up with the idea of ​​making money from sticks and Japanese pirates in Donghan District.

The specialties are quite popular in the Eastern Continent.

There is also Li Kui... But Li Kui has been busy leading people to reclaim farmland and build water conservancy projects. He doesn't have many opportunities to be with Chu Tian, ​​so he can't be regarded as a secretary.

"Recruit four hundred sailors, one hundred and fifty professional soldiers, including fifty naval infantry and one hundred naval archers."

Chutian officially formed the first naval battalion.

The naval battalion seemed to have a lot of personnel, 550 people in total, but a careful analysis of its composition revealed that most of them were sailors without combat effectiveness, that is, oarsmen.

The main purpose of the naval camp is to transport troops and food on the Yi River.

It is impossible to really establish the Soochow Navy on the Yi River.

However, it is not a waste to train the Bo Fu. In the future, these Bo Fu who are familiar with water can also be dragged to Jiaozhou Bay or the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to engage in water battles. The premise is that Chutian is qualified to drink from the Yangtze River.

"I will try to keep the husband's salary as low as possible."

Xia Liang is already thinking about saving money.

Chu Tian said: "You have to spend the money you need to spend."

Xia Liang sighed helplessly: "Lord, do you know how tight the finances are now? Xiliu Camp spends three thousand taels of silver every month, and you have to build a pair of armor for each of them. Also,

There is food and fodder for four hundred war horses. The food and fodder a war horse eats every day is equivalent to supporting several professional soldiers. It is difficult for us to pay off the loan from the bank. It is very satisfying for you to fight in the front, but..."

After hearing Xia Liang's complaint, Chu Tian realized that people who are not a family member do not know how expensive firewood and rice are.

The army at the front is overwhelming. In addition to excellent commanders, it also needs strong logistics.

Every time Liu Bang fought with Xiang Yu and exhausted all his troops, Xiao He's supplies came from behind so that he could persevere.

Chu Tian saw Xia Liang's eyes were red and listened patiently. It is normal for the logistics staff to have some complaints, especially now that Xia Town is developing rapidly, serving as city mayor, facing financial deficits and bankruptcy crisis, Xia Liang does not sleep more than six times a day.

Hour.

Xia Liang calmed down a little and blushed for his gaffe. At the same time, he was surprised at Chu Tian's patience: "Sorry, I just lost my composure..."

"No matter who is in this position, there will be pressure. If you are under pressure, you must find a way to vent it. If you really have no one to vent to, you can just talk to me in private. Of course, I must maintain my dignity in front of other people."

Chu Tian didn't think there was anything wrong, rather it was too normal. He managed the finance and trade of a territory of tens of thousands of people at such a young age. To say that there was no pressure, most of them were mediocre people who ate and drank.

Things like being able to become prime minister or county magistrate right from the start, with a straight face, and handling government affairs with a clear eye, can only happen in novels.

Xia Liang nodded: "Yes. The Mi family of Donghai County heard about your achievements and expressed their willingness to cooperate with us more. From celadon to raw silk, silk, paper, and hemp rope, the monthly transaction volume exceeds two

One thousand taels of silver."

The Mi family's investment was expected by Chu Tian: "When we sit in the Langya Kingdom in the future, the Mi family will probably support us with all its strength. Inquire about the birthdays of important people in the Mi family, and send people to give gifts in my name during holidays.
