Chutian stood in front of the stone monument of the Lord's Mansion and upgraded Xia Town to a second-level town.

Although the conditions for the second-level town are more complicated and vassal villages need to be built, Chutian still tried his best to meet the conditions for upgrading the second-level town before the first epic battle.

"Player, after your town is upgraded, its direct jurisdiction will cover the nearby third-level village Xiaozhu Village. You can choose to merge, destroy, or avoid Xiaozhu Village."

After Chutian chose to upgrade Xia Town, he faced another choice.

When Xia Village was upgraded to a first-level town, it did not directly border Xiaozhu Village. However, as Xia Town further expanded, it had to face the problem of merging different territories.

"merge."

Chutian turned Xiaozhu Village into a jurisdiction of Xia Town, so that there would be no Xiaozhu Village in the future.

The territory of Xia Town began to expand, along the Yi River, and to the north to Xiaozhu Village, forming a larger market town.

[Territory]: Xia Town (secondary town)

【Lord】:Chutian(fourth level will not be updated)

[Affiliation]: Langya Kingdom, Xuzhou, Eastern Han District

[Specialties]: Rough celadon (e-grade specialty), rough bronze mirror (e-grade specialty), rice wine (d-grade specialty), Yihe freshwater fish (d-grade specialty), Shandong garlic (d-grade specialty), high-quality raw silk

(C-grade specialty), high-quality silk (C-grade specialty), fine indigo (B-grade specialty)

【Population】:8021/10000

【Popularity】:75

【Public Security】:78

【Prosperity】:3107/8000

【Administrative efficiency】:21/100

【Agricultural efficiency】:34/100

【Economic efficiency】:36/100

【Cultural efficiency】:24/100

[City Defense]: Intermediate rammed earth city wall (5.4 meters high, 6.5 meters thick at the bottom. The soldiers on the wall have +2 defense, which can effectively reduce the damage caused by bows and arrows)

[New buildings]: Second-level guild hall (increases the probability of merchants and caravans staying in the territory), third-level post station (increases the transmission speed of information)

[vassal villages and towns]: 2/6 (Shangbi Village, Yunlai Village)

Chu Tian was somewhat surprised. Because of the annexation of Xiaozhu Village, Xia Town's overall economic efficiency has been greatly improved, and the population has soared to 8,000 people, meeting the population requirements for upgrading to a third-level town.

In other words, as long as the prosperity level increases and other conditions are met, the third-level town can be upgraded.

The number of vassal villages and towns in Xia Town has increased to six, and now there are only two vassals.

Chutian immediately turned Lingyan Town under his control into a vassal of Xia Town. In this way, Xia Town had a vassal territory of one town and two villages. Lingyan Town also controlled three vassal villages. This was equivalent to Xia Town controlling one town and five villages.

The Eastern Han District is somewhat different from other civilized districts.

The territorial principle of the Holy See District is "the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals", while the territorial principle of the Eastern Han District is "the whole world is not the king's territory".

As the lord of the Eastern Han District, Chutian could directly control the villages affiliated with Lingyan Town through Lingyan Town, and could even add the vassal villages of Lingyan Town to the direct jurisdiction of Xia Town at will.

In other words, different civilized areas have different governance methods and different control over vassals.

The two new random buildings are the second-level guild hall and the third-level post station. The guild hall is an economic building used to attract merchants and caravans gather in Xia Town. The third-level post station can set up sub-stations in vassal villages and towns to use horses for intelligence.

Delivery. After the post station is upgraded to the highest level, it can deliver urgent news for eight hundred miles.

Due to the complete annexation of Xiaozhu Village, there are many new buildings in Xia Town. Among them, what Chutian is more concerned about is the third-level mulberry garden, textile workshop, and dyeing workshop, which have formed a silk industry chain from sericulture to dyeing. Silk is

A good thing, no less than a gold mine, which can bring a stable income every month.

The economically developed Xiaozhu District is likely to become the future urban area of ​​Xia Town.

After the merger, the scope of the city wall is still within the original core area of ​​​​Xia Town. Once an enemy invades, one must either defend the powerful enemy outside the town gate, or temporarily abandon the area outside the city wall and temporarily huddle inside the city wall. But that means the worst

In a bad situation, as long as there are no reinforcements from outside, the besieged city will most likely be a dead end.

"Ding! You have become the 21st lord in Donghan District to be upgraded to the second-level town, and you have received a gold-level recruitment order."

The 21st secondary town?

Chutian remembered that Xia Town was the 52nd first-level town, and now it was the 21st second-level town, ranking higher and higher.

Another gold-level recruitment order was obtained.

Lingyan Town has been merged into Xia Town. Now you can use the second-level cavalry battalion in Lingyan Town to recruit cavalry with first-level light cavalry and second-level elite light cavalry.

[Arms]: Elite light cavalry

[Level]: Second level cavalry

[Attack Power]:13 [Defense Power]:6 [Speed]:21

[Skills]: Intermediate reconnaissance, low-level mounted shooting, low-level galloping

[Characteristic]: Thousand Cavalry Juan Ping Gang (e-level trait, when a cavalry hero serves as the leader, all attributes +1)

[Military pay]: 3 taels/month

[Required equipment]: Low-grade war horse (Silver level), sword

The equipment required by the elite light cavalry must include low-grade war horses. Such war horses are more expensive than ordinary war horses. Ordinary war horses are inferior war horses, and low-grade war horses are graded after all.

Chutian, who lacked low-level war horses, did not train second-level cavalry. He could use the second-level pasture in Lingyan Town to train ordinary war horses or low-level war horses.

Horse breeding is a technical job, and horse breeding also requires a cycle. It takes a while to grow from a foal to a war horse. Chutian can also purchase war horses from other places and put them in secondary pastures for breeding. Centralized management can reduce the time required to raise horses.

The expenses that need to be consumed. For Xia Zhen, saving the cost of raising horses is an additional income.

Xia Town, Yunlai Village, and Shangbi Village have a population of 11,000, plus 6,000 people in Lingyan Town and three vassal villages, a total of 17,000 people.

According to the ratio of 1:17, Chutian believed that it would be relatively easy to support a thousand professional soldiers.

In the first epic battle "Yellow Turban Rebellion", a lord who could send a thousand professional soldiers was already a big lord, and there were only a handful of them.

Cavalry, infantry, and archers cannot be treated in the same way. The cost of raising a cavalry can be used to raise several infantry.

"Ding! The follow-up series of achievements of the achievement system 'Rich Country and Strong Army' have been opened. You have completed the D-level branch achievement, 'Three Thousand Households', and will be rewarded with a building drawing of Zhongyi Temple (level 5)."

Chutian looked through the achievement tasks and found that there was a series of achievements called "Rich Country and Strong Soldiers". The first task of this series of achievements, "I am a Lord", had been completed during the construction of the village. "Three Thousand Households" was one of the follow-up tasks.

.

The current achievement system has three major series of achievements: "Prosperous Country and Strong Military", "Heroes in Troubled Times", and "Civil Ministers and Generals", which respectively correspond to territorial development, external expansion, and collection of heroes.

Zhongyi Temple turns out to be a fifth-level architectural drawing, which is higher than the fourth-level fish market that Xia Town currently has. If Zhongyi Temple is built, it will not only bring special effects, but also increase the prosperity of Xia Town.
