One hundred gold-level horses were brought to the sixth-level cavalry battalion.

In two months, Xia City will have its first special cavalry unit, the Northern Wei Iron Eagle Scouts.

Chu Tian was not satisfied yet, so he shamelessly asked Xia Liang to help him raise gold and silver to buy high-quality war horses.

"sure."

Unexpectedly, Xia Liang agreed.

"We can set up banks in each town in the two counties, absorb the gold and silver of all civilians and players, and sell a few pieces of land. As long as you can capture a few more counties within a year, the finances will not collapse. Otherwise, it will

I’m going to sell the war horse I bought.”

"How many fine war horses can I buy?"

"The price of gold-level war horses is generally around 80 taels of silver. If you find a horse dealer to buy war horses on a large scale, the price can be lowered. I think that even if you buy 400 gold-level war horses, your finances should be able to support it."

"400 horses..."

Chu Tian didn't expect that the finances could still squeeze out the money to buy a horse.

The extra horses can be used as cavalry for Li Guang or Xue Rengui.

"The cavalry will definitely burn money. As long as we maintain the momentum of expansion, there will be no financial problems."

After Xia Liang defeated the coalition forces in Chutian, his confidence in him increased and he began to use proactive fiscal policies. Even if the fiscal deficit occurred every month, it was within the allowable range.

Overdrafting finances is more dangerous, and the rewards are also huge. You can spare no effort to support Chutian in recruiting troops, provided that Chutian cannot be defeated many times.

After managing to obtain funds to purchase four hundred war horses, Chu Tian prepared to recruit two hundred horse archers for Li Guang and Xue Rengui.

"Two thousand Shesheng Camp, two thousand Xiliu Camp, one hundred Iron Eagle Scouts, two hundred Western Han Dynasty border guard archers, two hundred elite Tang Dynasty archers. A total of 4,500 high-level troops."

"There are 16,000 low-level infantry and archers, 4,000 low-level light cavalry, and 230 heavy cavalry. There is also a naval battalion."

Chutian finally decided on the formation of the army.

Zhou Yafu stationed in Yangdu City had 2,000 Xiliu Camp, 7,500 infantry and archers, and 500 light cavalry.

Xueyue stationed in Xueyue Town has 4,500 infantry and archers and 500 light cavalry.

The rest of the troops were stationed in Xiacheng, including 2,000 Shesheng battalion, 4,000 infantry and archers, 3,000 light cavalry, 500 high-level cavalry, 230 heavy cavalry, and the navy battalion.

The three armies are each other's horns. Once one army is attacked, the other two armies will immediately counterattack.

As for Langya City, Chutian arranged for Liu Sandao to lead 4,000 infantry archers to garrison, and they were included in Xia City's establishment.

Once the establishment is finalized, it will take two months to wait for the recruitment of high-level cavalry.

It just so happened that Chutian needed time to digest the territory of the two counties.

Two counties are nothing to the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, but for Chutian, which had a population of only 200,000 people not long ago, it swallowed four or five times the land in one go. If it is not digested, it will leave many problems.

Zhou Yafu was attacking the villages and towns in Yangdu County that had not yet surrendered, while Li Guang and Hua Mulan were training in Xiacheng.

Chu Tian intended to train Xue Rengui, so from time to time he asked him to lead a small team alone to encircle and suppress nearby bandits.

Everything was calm in Xia City, but Du Fu's Thatched Cottage was still lively. Du Fu alone brought more than 1,000 taels of silver to Chu Tian.

Moreover, Du Fu's Thatched Cottage also gathered a group of literati and poets who recited poems and wrote poems all day long. This group of literati and poets included both commoners and some players.

Chu Tian also did not expect such a phenomenon.

The cultural prosperity of Xiacheng has been increasing inadvertently, driving economic development and talent flow, absorbing refugees, and even increasing land prices.

In the past, Chutian didn't care much about cultural prosperity, but now it seems that cultural prosperity is very important for population growth.

If Xia City wants to develop into a giant city with a population of one million or tens of millions, its cultural prosperity cannot be low.

"Continue to encourage births, we need population, a large population. From now on, players will be allowed to register marriages in my territory and register them in the household registration."

Chutian announced a special decree allowing players to integrate into his territory like civilians and to get married freely.

This decree caused a huge sensation in Langya Kingdom and even in Xuzhou!

This means that players trapped in "Landlord" begin to officially integrate into this world.

Chutian is integrating civilians and players, treating them equally, and he plans to establish an independently operating force.

His decrees are also attracting more people into his territory.

In order to increase the population and tax revenue, Chutian has resorted to any means.

Chu Tian must think about the future.

Xiacheng has a large population, but the war sacrifices the young labor force. Chutian must ensure that there will be enough labor force for farming and waging war within ten, twenty or even thirty years.

There is a lot of open space in the Yihe Plain, and the current population is not enough to realize the potential of the plain.

Along the Yi River in Yangdu County, several light cavalry sent by Zhou Yafu patrolled along the river.

On the other side of the river is the territory of Ju County. There are several forces in Ju County. After Wu Sangui brought 30,000 Taishan troops to Ju County, the current strength of Ju County may be more than 50,000. Therefore, Zhou Yafu specially sent cavalry according to Chu Tian's arrangement.

Patrolling along the river.

Once the forces in Ju County want to attack Yangdu County, they can attack halfway across the country and win with less.

A wooden boat rowed towards Yangdu County, attracting the attention of the patrolling light cavalry.

"who?"

The light cavalry took off their horned bows and pointed them at the wooden boat.
