"Exchange the blueprints for the sixth-level siege equipment workshop, the seventh-level cavalry battalion blueprints, the horse armor manufacturing blueprints, and the Han Xuanjia manufacturing blueprints for heavy cavalry."

Chu Tian gritted his teeth and spent all his military achievements in exchange for a few blueprints that he could not usually buy.

After the blueprints are exchanged, Langya Kingdom will have the buildings to produce large-scale siege equipment and recruit Xiliang cavalry. As for whether there is excess finance to build large-scale siege equipment and recruit Xiliang cavalry, let's talk about it separately.

The salary of one Xiliang cavalry is equal to the salary of twelve first-order light infantry, which is expensive.

After getting the blueprints, Chu Tian ordered to upgrade the sixth-level siege equipment workshop and the seventh-level cavalry battalion.

The fifth-level siege equipment workshop can already produce medium-sized catapults-twin-tip cannons.

[Name]:Double tip cannon

[Number of people]: one person (set stones), one hundred people (pulling ropes)

[Range]: Eighty steps away

[Stone weight]: twenty-five pounds

The range of the catapult was mediocre, but it was still a powerful weapon for destroying city gate towers, arrow towers, and horse faces. Therefore, Chutian arranged for the production of twenty double-shooting cannons for two thousand people to use.

In addition, five medium-sized siege towers, two ramming vehicles, and one hundred ramming vehicles were produced for siege.

The first priority is to attack the city, and the first priority is to attack the heart. However, if Tan City is not taken, it will be difficult for Chu Tian to cross Tan City and capture Pi.

"Have the twelve dancers in Luoyang Palace Band been properly arranged?"

Chu Tian suddenly thought of the twelve dancing girls he abducted from Yuan Shao.

The cultural prosperity of Xiacheng will increase only when the literati group and the band group are added. The queen dancers of the twelve palace bands can also bring a steady stream of income to the Xiacheng band as long as they are packaged and hyped a little.

Xia Liang, who was in charge of this matter, deliberately teased Chu Tian and said, "My subordinates have already placed them all in Lefang and found a good place for them. Do you want to recruit them to the Lord's Mansion to warm the beds?"

After Xia Liang said this, she suddenly felt regretful because she realized that she was cheating herself.

"Just place them in the band."

Chu Tian just mentioned it casually.

After the twelve dancers from Luoyang Palace Band joined Xiacheng's band, Xia Liang gave their group a name - Luoyang Twelve Hairpins, in order to attract more disciples from aristocratic families to come to the band to listen to music and increase the number of musicians. The income of the workshop.

Among them, the special dancer Wu Qingcheng even increased the band's income by 50%.

The Twelve Hairpins of Luoyang instantly caused a sensation in Xia City, and many players and disciples from aristocratic families came to have a look at it.

The women who are qualified to be selected into the palace orchestra must not only have outstanding talents, but also have outstanding looks. They are quickly sought after by players, who in turn influence disciples of aristocratic families and wealthy merchants, who also come to pursue the Twelve Beauties of Luoyang.

The cultural prosperity of Xiacheng also increased as a result.

Du Fu Thatched Cottage is currently home to Du Fu, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other poets and Confucian scholars, and its reputation has become even more famous. Countless players and Confucian scholars come to visit every day, and there is an endless stream of carriages and horses, and the gates are like a market!

The poet-sage Du Fu, who had been homeless all his life, became a celebrity in Xia City and got to know Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other great Confucian scholars. As time went by, things were different.

Du Fu alone can bring hundreds of taels of silver income to Du Fu Thatched Cottage every month.

The addition of Lu Zhi and Cai Yong attracted a large number of disciples from aristocratic families and aborigines.

Xiacheng has formed a specialized cultural area, with a collection of cultural buildings such as music studios, schools, and paper shops. In addition, there is a seventh-level cultural building on the hillside outside Xiacheng - the Confucian Temple.

After the first Langya State imperial examination, Chutian increased the scope of examinations and standardized the imperial examination system.

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong heard that Langya's country did not promote filial piety and honesty, but implemented the imperial examination system. They were a little dissatisfied at first, but when they thought about the collapse of the world and the people who promoted filial piety and honesty, they could not become officials, their dissatisfaction disappeared.

Only talented people can do well in troubled times. Of course, the literacy rate of disciples of aristocratic families is higher, so most of the people selected by the imperial examination are disciples of aristocratic families, or players with high literacy rates themselves.

"Dad, I don't know why you sent someone to pick me up here?"

A woman holding a guqin came to Du Fu's thatched cottage and met her father Cai Yong, who was temporarily living in Xiacheng.

"The area east of Hulao Pass is Chenliu. Dong Zhuo's group of barbarians don't know when they will march eastward to plunder Chenliu. I heard what General Fubo said and was very worried, so I sent someone to pick you up.

Xiacheng. Although there is some chaos here, it is still more peaceful than Chenliu."

After being reminded by Chu Tian, ​​Cai Yong specially sent someone to bring his daughter Cai Wenji to Xia City to avoid the war in Yanzhou.

Because of the existence of the teleportation array, as long as you pay a sufficient price, you can travel between different counties, provided that the two counties reach an agreement.

Due to the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the teleportation array between Langya Kingdom and Chenliu County is still open.

Therefore, Cai Wenji, a talented woman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, settled in Xia City, bringing a higher cultural prosperity bonus to Xia City.

When Cai Wenji entered Xia City, many players saw her. Although they could not recognize her identity, some were still surprised by her appearance.

Xiacheng's fifth-level orchestra, Luoyang Palace Orchestra's Wu Qingcheng, and a group of dancers became Chutian's tools for making money, but they still enjoyed the feeling of being famous.

It turns out that dancing girls can be as famous as great scholars, especially among players, and they are very popular among the Twelve Hairpins of Luoyang.

A woman came to visit Wu Qingcheng, and Wu Qingcheng was even more dim in front of her. When the two met, they were surprised and happy.

"Sister, why are you also in Xia City?"

"My foster father heard many strangers say that Luoyang would be burned down by Dong Zhuo. My foster father didn't believe it at first, but the three of them became tigers, so I was sent to Langya Kingdom for refuge in advance. I didn't expect that the stranger's words seemed to be a joke.

, but it came true. Now the whereabouts of the adoptive father are unknown..."

"Good sister, here is a little gold and silver, please accept it."

"No reward for no merit, I can't..."

"The monthly wages given to us by the band are quite large. This little gold and silver is nothing. With your beauty, sister, if you join the band, you will probably become the number one and cause a sensation in the Langya Kingdom."

"Sister, please don't make fun of your sister..."

Diao Chan, who came to Langya Country for refuge in advance, knew Wu Qingcheng. At this time, she learned that Wu Qingcheng was in the music studio in Xiacheng, so she came to visit the music studio.

If Chu Tian knew that the missing Diao Chan lived in Xiacheng, he didn't know how he would feel.

Except for the fierce battle when Tao Qian contacted the lords of Xuzhou to invade the Langya Kingdom, the Langya Kingdom was relatively peaceful, so many people took refuge in the Langya Kingdom.

A group of chariots and horses came towards Xiacheng.

"It is said that Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other old guys are in Xiacheng. I hope that Xiacheng will be peaceful and I can enjoy my old age in peace."

"But I heard that Langya Xiang and Xuzhou Mu are the same as water and fire. There may be a big war soon."

"..."

Cao Song fled from Qiao County to the relatively safe Xuzhou, but he did not expect that a war was brewing in Xuzhou to determine Xuzhou's ownership.

"If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Mengde."

Cao Song couldn't help but sigh that he had made a mistake in judgment.

He also thought that Dong Zhuo's Kansai Army would soon attack Chenliu County and Dong County eastward, so he fled to Langya State, which was said to be relatively stable at the time. As a result, Dong Zhuo was beaten back, but a war was brewing in Xuzhou.

If Chu Tian knew that Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was in Langya Kingdom, he would probably be even more shocked than knowing that Diao Chan was in Xia City.

He could have used Cao Song to threaten Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao to surrender.

But it's hard to say whether it will be effective. A real hero will not be easily threatened by the enemy.

"But I heard that Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian is on the defensive under the attack of Prime Minister Langya, so even if we live in Xiacheng, we will not be easily affected by the war. And as your master, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian does not dare to harm you easily

.”

"It makes sense."

Cao Song thought that his son Cao Cao was also fighting everywhere, fighting against the Black Mountain Army, foreign lords, and princes. Dongjun was located in the place of the Four Battles and was more dangerous than Langya Kingdom.

Wait until Cao Cao becomes the shepherd of Yanzhou before joining him.

Cao Song settled in Xiacheng with this idea.

"Residences in Xia City are really expensive."

Cao Song and others immediately bought a place to live, but as a result, the price of a mansion with a larger area often started at a hundred taels, or even a thousand taels of silver, which made him feel distressed even if he paid for it.

Chu Tian did not deliberately promote Langya Kingdom as a paradise. The real person who was in charge was Xia Liang who knew the importance of propaganda.

Chutian wanted to have a population, so she would help increase the population.

The reputation of Chutian's number one foreign lord is very loud among the players in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as it is announced that Langya country is living and working in peace and contentment, with strong soldiers and horses, it will attract a large number of players to take refuge. The players will also bring with them the civilians they know, and even some reputable people.

Celebrities from the Eastern Han Dynasty came to seek refuge.

Therefore, celebrities such as Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Cai Wenji, Diao Chan, and Cao Song settled in Xiacheng, which invisibly increased the influence of Langya Kingdom and attracted more refugees.

Chutian still doesn’t know the existence of some celebrities...

Xia City currently has a population of more than 200,000, and Chu Tian has no energy to check whether any historical figures have come to Xia City.

He is preparing for the decisive battle with Tao Qian.

Baima Yicong is recruiting, the Detachment of Women is recruiting...

The scale of Xiliu Camp, Shesheng Camp, Iron Eagle Scouts, Tang Dynasty Archers, and Western Han Dynasty Archers has been slightly expanded...

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were sent by Chu Tian to pacify one or two counties that had not yet been conquered, and completely unified the entire Langya Kingdom...

The Langya Kingdom has been raising soldiers and horses, but the news of recruiting soldiers has been covered up by the prosperous culture and commerce, making people think that the merchant girls of the Langya Kingdom do not know the hatred of the country's subjugation, and they are still singing in the backyard across the river.

"Xiacheng seems to have a bit of a contention of a hundred schools of thought. If there are a few more talented women, literati and poets, from all walks of life, Xiacheng will be even more lively."

Chu Tian was also a little surprised by the prosperity of Xia City.
To be continued...
