Chapter 44: More Children and More Pigs

Chu Tian bought Yunlai Village with money, but it was not the money from Xia Town, but the money from Yunlai Village. The village chief of Yunlai Village could take away 50 gold from the warehouse of Yunlai Village and own a job in Xia Town. The price was to give up Yunlai Village, and Yunlai Village became the third vassal village in Xia Town.

Yunlai Village has a population of 1,458 people, and its development direction is agriculture, with three-level farmland, rice shops, water wells, and first-level reservoirs. Chu Tian had already considered it before choosing to attack Yunlai Village, and he needed a vassal village that specializes in producing grain. Therefore, among the third-level villages near Xia Town, he specially selected Yunlai Village.

Xia Town now has about 2,600 people, 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 of "Lord". The more people, the more taxes and more troops, you can quickly gain strength after the war.

Chu Tian was not at ease with the village chief of Yunlai Village, but instead launched a NPC internal talent management village in Yunlai Village, and the village chief of Yunlai Village worked in Xia Town.

NPC internal affairs personnel 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, Chu Tian can appoint them to manage the people in one area.

The conquering Yunlai Village did not lose a soldier. Chu Tian visited the farmlands in Yunlai Village, and it was no problem for 2,000 people to farm the farmlands in Yunlai Village.

Yunlai Village has 50 first-level light infantry troops. Chutian did not increase Yunlai Village's troops, so that Yunlai Village has more labor to farm.

Farming in Yunlai Village, mining in Shangbi Village, making money in Xiaozhu Village, and leaving the war to Xia Town. Xia Town has several barracks. As long as the laborers from each village are moved to Xia Town and the barracks in Xia Town are used for training, an army can be brought out soon.

Chutian returned to Xia Town. There were more than a dozen injured soldiers in the second-level clinic in Xia Town, as well as town residents who came to see the doctor. Several doctors were busy helping the patients heal.

The second-level clinic now has 5 low-level doctors and 10 apprentices. Even so, they are in a hurry due to the sudden increase in wounded soldiers.

The wounded soldier has a certain probability of death due to wound infection and may be disabled, but most of the slightly injured soldiers can return to the army.

"This town is more prosperous than my village and has a large population. It is worthy of being the number one territory in Langya. It is correct not to choose to resist."

The village chief of Yunlai Village followed Chu Tian to Xia Town. Seeing the prosperity of Xia Town, he couldn't help but sigh. Xia Town is not a existence that Yunlai Village can compete with. Xia Town's population is almost twice that of Yunlai Village, not to mention that Xia Town has village warriors and troops in vassal villages can be mobilized.

The first thing Chu Tian did when he came back was to replenish his lost troops, dispatched a group of laborers from the vassal village, and transferred to Xuzhou archers.

Recruiting soldiers takes time, and you have to train on the school ground in the future. You must plan your time 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 Village. Chutian implemented the policy of "separation of soldiers and peasants" and used professional soldiers. In terms of public security, there are village warriors who serve as yamen runners.

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

Chu Tian transferred 50 laborers from Yunlai Village and Xiaozhu Village, and trained 40 Xuzhou archers and 60 elite infantrymen.

In this way, Xia Town has 260 professional soldiers, plus 140 professional soldiers in the territory, and a total of 400 professional soldiers.

A population of 6,700 supports 400 professional soldiers, including 40 war horses, which is an exaggerated proportion.

After all, it's just that there is not enough population.

Chu Tian found Li Jue and asked him to write a notice. The main reason was that Chu Tian's brush was written in a crooked manner...

"In the territory under our jurisdiction, if there are more than two children in a household, taxes can be reduced. For newborns every year, the Lord's Mansion will also provide a subsidy for the maintenance of newborns according to the circumstances. In addition, farmers are encouraged to raise more livestock and 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 states that if you want to be rich, build roads first, and have more children and raise more pigs."

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

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

The more you are born, the less tax you pay.

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

"No need to polish, just release it like this."

Chu Tian thought about it and the positive impact of population growth in the future can offset the negative impact of current tax cuts. Chu Tian bet on the future.

In the early stage, we can still use war to support the war, but in the later stage, we will compete with the comprehensive strength of population and territory.

Moreover, after the population increases, the expenditure of each household will also increase.

The population tax is less, but because the population increases, consumption tax increases. Once the increase and decrease, the total tax revenue of the lord's house may not decrease.

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

"Does anyone who knows how to read? What is the notice posted by the government?"

"Let me see... If you want to be rich, build roads first, have more children, raise more pigs. Anyone with three or more children in a family can reduce taxes..."

"Is there such a good thing?!"

Many people who meet the conditions suddenly cut taxes and are overjoyed.

People with only one or two children are a little jealous, tax cuts, and what they dream of.

The increase in the population means that the family's labor force increases, the family's income, and can also deal with the military service of the government. For example, if there are three males in a household and one of them is recruited and taken away by the government, then there are two males who can work, and it will not be a failure to lose their future. Now, tax reductions can be provided for more children and there are subsidies for property security.

"Also, if the family raises livestock, the government will provide talent guidance. If farmers who raise more pigs, the government will reward pig farming skills books."

The onlookers were in an uproar again.

Obviously, Chu Tian used the plundered wealth to revitalize industries and promote economic development.

Population policy and breeding policy were spread to Xiaozhu Village, Shangbi Village, and Yunlai Village through the rapid horse whip of the light cavalry.

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

"Chu Tian is a smart person."

Xia Tianliang, the village chief of Xiaozhu Village, was notified that as a vassal, she could only implement policies according to the orders of the lord's mansion. Of course, if she was dissatisfied, she could also provide advice to Chu Tian.

Chutian encourages fertility, and the fertility rate in Xia Town will be extremely astonishing in the future. The policy of "one harvest and two halving" in private schools in Xia Town is also encouraging fertility.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be kept, but only routines win people's hearts."

Chutian discovered that after implementing the policy of fertility tax reduction, the people's hearts in Xia Town rose again.
