"Hmm...... No problem. ”

Mulan agreed.

Chu Tian originally planned to recruit second-order cavalry, and Lingyan Town had a second-level cavalry battalion, but unfortunately Lingyan Town had not yet become a vassal, and Xia Zhen could not use the second-order cavalry battalion, so he forcibly used it, and the recruited cavalry would belong to Tang Li Er instead of him.

The quality of the war horses required by the second-order cavalry will also be higher, and as for the heavy cavalry, the weight of its armor is not something that ordinary war horses can bear.

Before having better war horses, Chu Tian temporarily recruited first-order light cavalry equipped with ordinary war horses.

All the war horses were concentrated in Xia Town. War horses are comparable to gold and silver in troubled times, and they belong to strategic materials.

Sixty light cavalry were trained in the cavalry battalion of Summer Town for a period of fourteen days. It just so happens that it takes half a month for the second-level school field to expand to the third-level school field.

When the light cavalry comes out, it will be transferred to the third-level school field for training, and the training officer of the cavalry is Mulan.

During this time, Chutian supervised the construction of the people, and personally inspected the farmers to sow seeds.

The beginning of October is the time when wheat is sown in the Yihe area.

More than 3,000 people in Xia Town are farmers, all of whom are involved in sowing seeds. The new farmland reclaimed by Li Kui and the displaced people has finally worked, and the new townspeople can directly sow seeds in the new farmland.

Lingyan Town has a special product "exquisite farm tools", and when controlling Lingyan Town, Chutian seized a batch of sophisticated farm tools, which were given priority to Xia Town.

Xia Zhen is the basic plate of Chutian, and running Xia Town well is the most important thing.

In the fields, more than a dozen oxen pulled the carts, and the farmers followed. The so-called cocoon car, that is, a kind of agricultural tool for sowing, the invention of the Western Han Dynasty in China, consists of three cocoon feet, and there are three furrowers under it, which are used to dig a ditch and sow seeds on the leveled land.

"If there is a bumper harvest next year, Xia Zhen alone can supply food for 10,000 people."

Li Kui is very confident. His SS-rated trait, "Doing the Best", can guide farmers to make the most of their land and increase their grain production by 30%, so he still has some confidence.

Chu Tian just nodded, everyone understands the importance of farming, but Chu Tian may not know how to screen seeds and sow seeds. All of these were supervised by Li Kui in farming.

Chu Tian can't do the real farm work, and he doesn't need to do it. Chu Tian only needs to give orders, deal with some contradictions, and wait for next year's harvest. But his policies are tied to next year's output.

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

Li Kui, who was in charge of Tian Cao, coughed lightly twice, and the napping official saw the arrival of his boss and lord, and quickly shook his spirits: "My lord." ”

Chu Tian glanced at the notice posted in the wooden shed, and there were a few words written on it - "Farm tool rental".

The summer in Kozuki Village was unusual, and farmers who lacked farming tools could apply to the lord's mansion to rent cattle and sophisticated farming tools, at the cost of handing over more of the harvest to the lord's mansion next year. It's a bit like overdrafting, but there have been similar examples in ancient times. Farmers with farming tools can cultivate more farmland and can bear the share of the extra next year. The government is also not worried about the escape of these farmers, because they have taken root in the land under their feet.

Li Kui asked his subordinates about their work seriously: "Have all the cultivated cattle owned by the lord's mansion been rented out?" ”

The little official nodded hurriedly: "The ploughing cattle have all been rented." The most popular among farmers are ploughing cattle, followed by columbs and hoes......"

Chu Tian listened silently to Tian Cao's officials discussing these trivial matters. He himself has to learn from it.

Cattle in the Lord's Mansion come from warfare and trade, and can sometimes be obtained by raiding other villages, bandits, or from some cities.

Ploughing cattle is the most important thing for farmers, and the ancients said, "There is no land without cattle, and there is no boat without a boat, and there is no money."

Xia Zhen is very strict about the protection of cattle and horses. For those who sell and slaughter horses and cattle without permission, the first offense is punished with a hundred rods, a fine, and a second offense, and a mining allotment.

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

Popular sentiment has grown slowly because of these small measures.

Popular support and law and order are also one of the conditions for upgrading second-level towns.

As far as Chu Tian looked, it was full of farmland in Xia Town.

"My lord, it's time for tea."

Xiao Lu, a dancer in Xia Town, knew Chu Tian, and at this time she was helping at a temporary tea stall near the farmland, and when she saw that Chu Tian had brought people to inspect, she took the initiative to invite Chu Tian and his party to come to the tea stall.

Special talents who do not have a job can receive a temporary allowance from the Lord's Mansion every month, so Xiao Zhu, Xiao Lu and the others are grateful to Chu Tian. Upon learning of the Lord's Mansion's request, they also came forward to help the Lord's Mansion win people's hearts as soon as possible.

"When you upgrade to a second-level town, I will build a music workshop in Xia Town, and then you will have a job."

Chu Tian is more concerned about these special talents, because they can bring special bonuses to Xia Zhen.

Le Fang is a cultural building. Cultural architecture is not optional, but can stabilize people's minds, increase population, tax revenue, and prosperity.

"Thank you, sir."

Xiao Zhu and Xiao Lu glanced at each other, overjoyed, working in the music workshop is their best way out, and the treatment is better than in the Qinglou. The music workshop in "Lord" is upgraded to the palace music workshop at the end, representing the peak of music and dance in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chu Tian also has a plan, if he recruits any historical talents in the future, he will directly stuff them into the palace music workshop. In short, each special hero in "Lord" has its own role, and it is definitely not a vase. Even Liu Chan and Hu Hai have their own characteristics.

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

As long as Xia Zhen 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 upgrading conditions of a first-class town under the operation of cool summer.

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

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

Every day, a large number of stones and trees are transported to Xia Town, and buildings are erected or expanded on the original basis, and the prosperity is close to that of a second-class town.

The prosperity of second-level towns is very demanding, and there are only a handful of lords in the entire Eastern Han District who have second-level towns, and now there are not even ten second-level towns.

There are rewards for impacting the second-level towns, but the rewards are not rich, and the best reward is the reward of the first city in the world, so Chutian is not in a hurry, and it is useless to be in a hurry.

What he wants to impact is the reward of the first city in the world.

Because the cavalry led by Mulan is "notorious" in this area, no lord dares to invade Xia Zhen's sphere of influence. There are not many lords in the entire Langya Kingdom who dare to start a war with Xia Zhen head-on.

Some small villages and towns can fight against Xia Town by joining forces, but the alliance between the lords is very complicated, and each has his own thoughts. Only two or three princes dared to come forward in the eighteenth road princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the six kingdoms were combined, but they were still defeated by Qiang Qin.

Finally, in November, when the second-level water division battalion, the third-level school farm, the third-level pig farm and other buildings were completed one after another, the people's hearts and security were restored, and Xia Town met all the conditions for upgrading to a second-level town.
