Chutian bought Yunlai Village with money, but not with Xia Town's money, but with Yunlai Village's money. The head of Yunlai Village can take away 50 gold from the warehouse of Yunlai Village, and buy it in Xia Town

The price of having a job is to give up Yunlai Village, which becomes the third vassal village of Xia Town.

Yunlai Village has a population of 1,458, and its development direction is agriculture. It has third-level farmland, rice shops, water wells, and first-level reservoirs. Chutian had already considered it before choosing to attack Yunlai Village. He needed a vassal village that specialized in grain production.

.Therefore, among the third-level villages near Xia Town, he specially selected Yunlai Village.

There are currently about 2,600 people in Xia Town, 2,100 people in Xiaozhu Village, 550 people in Shangbi Village, and 1,450 people in Yunlai Village, with a total population of 6,700.

Population is the most important resource in "Lord". A larger population means more tax revenue and more troops. You can quickly gain strength after fighting.

Chutian was worried about the head of Yunlai Village, so he hired an NPC internal affairs talent from Yunlai Village to manage the village, and the head of Yunlai Village went to Xia Town to take up a post.

NPC internal affairs talents can see loyalty, but players cannot see loyalty. It is too variable to directly appoint players as village chiefs. Unless they are comrades who share life and death, or subordinates who have served for many years, it is possible for Chu Tiancai to appoint them to manage a people.

.

He conquered Yunlai Village without losing a single soldier. Chutian walked around the farmland of Yunlai Village. It was no problem for 2,000 people to cultivate the farmland of Yunlai Village.

The strength of Yunlai Village is 50 first-order light infantry. Chutian did not increase the strength of Yunlai Village, so that Yunlai Village had more laborers to farm.

Yunlai Village farms, Shangbi Village mines, and Xiaozhu Village makes money. As for the war, it is left to Xia Town. Xia Town has several barracks. As long as the labor force from each village is moved to Xia Town, the barracks in Xia Town can be used to carry out the war.

With training, you can quickly bring out an army.

When Chu Tian's squadron returned to Xia Town, there were more than a dozen wounded soldiers in the second-level medical center in Xia Town, as well as townspeople who came to see the doctor. Several doctors were busy treating the patients' injuries.

The current second-level medical center already has 5 low-level doctors and 10 apprentices. Even so, it is still in a hurry due to the sudden increase in wounded soldiers.

There is a certain probability that wounded soldiers will die due to wound infection, or they may become disabled, but most soldiers with minor injuries can return to the army.

"This town is much more prosperous than my village and has a larger population. It is worthy of being the largest territory in Langya Kingdom. It is right not to choose resistance."

The head of Yunlai Village followed Chu Tian to Xia Town. Seeing the prosperity of Xia Town, he couldn't help but sigh. Xia Town was simply not something that Yunlai Village could compete with. The population of Xia Town was almost twice that of Yunlai Village, not to mention

Xia Town also has village warriors and troops from vassal villages that can be mobilized.

The first thing Chu Tian did when he came back was to replenish the lost troops, dispatch a group of laborers from the vassal villages, and transfer them to Xuzhou archers.

Recruiting soldiers takes time, and they will need to be trained in the school field in the future. The time must be planned in advance. This is called raising soldiers.

There are 50 soldiers stationed in Yunlai Village, 50 soldiers stationed in Shangbi Village, and 40 soldiers stationed in Shuizhai. Chutian implements the policy of "separating soldiers and farmers" and uses professional soldiers. In terms of public security, there are village heroes serving as government officials.

Xia Town now only has 40 cavalry, 40 Xuzhou archers, and 80 elite infantry, for a total of 160 professional soldiers.

Chutian transferred 50 laborers from Yunlai Village and Xiaozhu Village each to train 40 Xuzhou archers and 60 elite infantrymen.

In this way, there are 260 professional soldiers in Xia Town, plus the 140 professional soldiers in the territory, for a total of 400 professional soldiers.

A population of 6,700 supports 400 professional soldiers, including 40 war horses. This ratio is already exaggerated.

After all, the population is still insufficient.

Chu Tian found Li Kui and asked him to write the notice. The main reason was that Chu Tian's calligraphy was crooked...

"In the territories under our jurisdiction, if a family has more than two children, they can receive tax reductions. For every newborn, the Lord's Mansion will also provide childbirth subsidies depending on the situation. In addition, farmers are encouraged to raise more livestock to improve their lives.

, the Lord's Mansion will send pig raising experts, chicken raising experts, and fish raising experts to provide guidance. The title of the notice reads: If you want to be rich, build roads first, have more children and raise more pigs."

Li Kui was stunned when he heard the content of the notice that Chu Tian asked him to write.

Such a policy is really simple and crude, without any unnecessary nonsense.

The more children you have, the less taxes you pay.

The Lord's Mansion will also intervene in population reproduction and livestock breeding.

"No need to polish it, just publish it as it is."

Chu Tian thought about it and realized that the positive impact of population growth in the future could offset the negative impact of current tax cuts. Chu Tian was betting on the future.

In the early stage, war can be used to support war, but in the later stage, the competition will be the comprehensive strength of population and territory.

Moreover, as the population increases, the expenditures of each household will also increase.

The capitation tax has decreased, but because the population has increased and consumption has been promoted, the consumption tax has increased. With each increase and decrease, the total tax revenue of the lord's mansion may not decrease.

So a notice was posted on the bulletin board in Xia Town.

"Can anyone who is literate tell me what the notice posted by the government says?"

"Let me see... If you want to be rich, build roads first, have more children and raise more pigs. As long as a family has three or more children, it can reduce taxes..."

"Is there such a good thing?!"

Many eligible families were overjoyed to have their taxes suddenly reduced.

Families with only one or two children are a little jealous. Tax cuts are something they dream of.

The increase in population, for each household, means an increase in the family's labor force, an increase in the family's income, and at the same time, it can also cope with the government's military service. For example, if there are three men in a household, and one is taken away by the government through conscription, there will be two more.

Men can work, and they won’t be forced to have children. Nowadays, if you have more children, you can get tax cuts and receive childbirth subsidies.

"Also, if your family raises livestock, the government will provide talent guidance. For farmers who raise a lot of pigs, the government will reward them with pig-raising skill books."

The onlookers were in an uproar again.

Apparently Chutian used the plundered wealth to revitalize industry and promote economic development.

The population policy and breeding policy were spread to Xiaozhu Village, Shangbi Village, and Yunlai Village through the light cavalry.

So Xia Town and the three vassal villages began to implement new policies.

"Chu Tian is a smart man."

Xia Liang, the head of Xiaozhu Village, was informed that as a vassal, she could only implement policies according to the orders of the lord's palace. Of course, if she was dissatisfied, she could also provide suggestions to Chu Tian.

Chutian encourages births, and the birth rate in Xia Town will be extremely alarming in the future. Xia Town's private schools' policy of "one student takes two and half is paid" also encourages births.

"The bustle of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Since ancient times, deep love cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts."
