"Yeah... no problem."

Hua Mulan agreed.

Chutian originally planned to recruit second-level cavalry. There is a second-level cavalry battalion in Lingyan Town. Unfortunately, Lingyan Town has not yet become a vassal. Xia Town cannot use the second-level cavalry battalion. If it is used by force, the recruited cavalry will belong to Li Er of the Tang Dynasty.

not him.

The quality requirements for the horses required by the second-level cavalry will also be higher. As for the heavy cavalry, the weight of their armor is not something that ordinary war horses can bear.

Until he has better war horses, Chu Tian temporarily recruits first-order light cavalry equipped with ordinary war horses.

All war horses were concentrated in Xia Town. War horses were as good as gold and silver in troubled times and were strategic materials.

Sixty light cavalry received training at the cavalry camp in Xia Town, and the training cycle was fourteen days. It just so happened that it would take half a month to expand the second-level school field to the third-level school field.

When the light cavalry comes out, it will be transferred to the third-level school for training. The cavalry's training officer is Hua Mulan.

During this time, Chutian was supervising the construction projects and personally inspecting the farmers sowing seeds.

Early October is the time for wheat sowing in the Yihe area.

More than 3,000 people in Xia Town are farmers, and all of them participate in sowing. The new farmland reclaimed by the refugees led by Li Kui has finally taken effect, and the newly joined townspeople can sow seeds directly in the new farmland.

Lingyan Town has a specialty "exquisite farm tools". When Chutian took control of Lingyan Town, he seized a batch of fine farm tools and gave them priority to Xia Town.

Xia Town is Chutian’s fundamentals, and running Xia Town well is the most important thing.

There are more than a dozen cows pulling a columbine cart in the farmland, and farmers follow behind. The so-called columbine cart is an agricultural tool used for sowing. It was invented during the Western Han Dynasty in China. It consists of three columbine legs with three furrowers underneath.

Used to dig trenches for sowing on flat land.

"If there is a good harvest next year, Xia Town alone can supply food for ten thousand people."

Li Kui is very confident. His SS-level characteristic "Doing the Most" can guide farmers to make full use of the land and increase food production by 30%, so he still has this confidence.

Chu Tian just nodded. Everyone understood the importance of farming, but Chu Tian may not know how to select seeds and sow seeds. Li Kui guided farmers in farming.

Chu Tian can't do the real farm work, and there is no need for him to do it. Chu Tian only needs to give orders, handle some conflicts, and wait for next year's harvest. However, his policies are closely related to next year's output.

A simple wooden shed was built on the edge of the farmland, and a small official belonging to Xia Zhen Tian Cao sat in the wooden shed and took a nap.

Li Kui, who was in charge of Tian Cao, coughed twice. Seeing his boss and the lord arriving, the napping clerk quickly cheered up and said, "Sir."

Chu Tian glanced at the notice posted on the wooden shed, which read "Farm Tools Rental".

Xiaozhu Village's Xia Liang came up with an innovative idea. He proposed that farmers who lacked farm tools could apply to the lord's mansion to rent cattle and fine farm tools at the cost of handing over more harvest to the lord's mansion next year. This is a bit like overdraft consumption, but in ancient times it was

There have been similar examples. Farmers who own farm tools can cultivate more farmland and can bear the extra share next year. The government is not worried about these farmers running away because they are already rooted in the land at their feet.

Li Kui asked his subordinates seriously about their work: "Have all the cattle owned by the Lord's Mansion been rented out?"

The clerk nodded quickly: "All the oxen have been rented. The most popular among farmers are the oxen, followed by the columbine and the hoe..."

Chu Tian silently listened to Tian Cao's officials discussing these trivial matters. He also wanted to learn from them.

The cattle in the lord's mansion come from war and trade. By attacking other villages, bandits can sometimes obtain cattle, or they can also buy cattle from some cities.

Cattle are the most important to farmers. An ancient saying goes, "Having fields without cattle is like having a boat without a boat, which is useless."

Xia Town protects cattle and horses very strictly. Those who sell and slaughter horses and cattle privately will be punished with a penalty of 100 sticks for the first offense and a fine. If they are guilty again, they will be issued a mining license.

In addition to renting farm tools, the Lord's Mansion also organized a group of special talents who had not yet worked, such as Xiao Zhu and Xiao Lu, to set up temporary tea stalls in farmland and construction sites to win over people.

Public sentiment slowly grew because of these small measures.

Public support and public security are also one of the conditions for upgrading a second-level town.

As far as Chutian looked, all he could see was the farmland of Xia Town.

"Sir, it's time to drink tea."

Xiao Lu, a dancer in Xia Town, knew Chu Tian. She was helping out at a temporary tea stall near the farmland. When she saw Chu Tian bringing people to inspect the tea stall, she took the initiative to invite Chu Tian and his entourage to the tea stall.

Special talents without jobs can receive temporary allowances from the Lord's Mansion every month, so Xiao Zhu, Xiao Lu and others are grateful to Chutian. After learning of the Lord's Mansion's request, they immediately stepped forward to help the Lord's Mansion win over people.

"When it is upgraded to a second-level town, I will build a music studio in Xia Town, and then you will have jobs."

Chutian is more concerned about these special talents because they can bring special bonuses to Xia Town.

Lefang is a cultural building. Cultural buildings are not dispensable. They can stabilize people's hearts and increase population, tax revenue and prosperity.

"Thank you, sir."

Xiao Zhu and Xiao Lu looked at each other and were overjoyed. Working in the orchestra was the best way out for them, and the pay was better than working in a brothel. The orchestra in "The Lord" was upgraded to the palace orchestra, which represented the music of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

, the peak of dance.

Chu Tian also has a plan. If he recruits any historical talents in the future, he can just put them into the palace orchestra. In short, every special hero in "Lord" has its own role, and it is definitely not a vase. Even Liu Chan and Hu Hai have their own roles.

characteristics.

Chu Tian has been staying in Xia Town recently, directing the development of various vassal villages from afar.

As long as Xia Town is upgraded to a second-level town, then the vassal villages of Xia Town can be upgraded to a first-level town. For example, Xiaozhu Village has already met the upgrade conditions of a first-level town under the management of Xia Liang.

Yunlai Village is positioned as an agricultural village and is also developing into a first-class agricultural town.

Shangbi Village is a mining village that will be upgraded to a third-level village.

A large amount of stone and wood are transported to Xia Town every day, and buildings are erected or expanded on the original basis. The prosperity is almost as high as that of a second-level town.

The prosperity requirements for second-level towns are very high. There are only a handful of lords in the entire Donghan District who have second-level towns. Currently, there are not even ten second-level towns.

There are rewards for attacking the second-level town, but the rewards are not rich. The best rewards are the rewards from the No. 1 city in the world, so Chu Tian is not in a hurry, and being anxious will not help.

What he wants to attack is the reward of the No. 1 city in the world.

Because the cavalry led by Hua Mulan was "notorious" in this area, no lord dared to invade Xia Town's sphere of influence. There were not many lords in the entire Langya Kingdom who dared to go to war with Xia Town head-on.

Some small villages and towns can compete with Xia Town by joining forces, but the alliance between the lords is very complicated, and each has its own agenda. When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, only two or three princes dared to come forward. The six countries united, but they were still defeated.

Strengthen Qin.
