……

Probably because of the high military rating of Xia Village, it was directly assessed as a military town by the system, so two new military buildings were added.

Unexpectedly, there was an archery battalion that specialized in recruiting professional archers, and the level was still level three.

Infantry trained by an infantry battalion can also shoot arrows, just as infantry can fight on the surface by boat, but with a reduced stat.

Similarly, archers can also fight in close combat, but they are not as effective as infantry.

The drawings of the third-level bow battalion are worth at least one hundred taels of silver, and the construction materials and expenses are also omitted.

As for the secondary arsenal, it is also a practical building, reducing the damage rate of weapons, which is equivalent to saving maintenance costs.

Now the weapons and grain in Xia Village are placed in the same warehouse, and there will be a special arsenal in the future.

Chutian originally didn't want to take the Spartan militarization route, but in order to protect himself in the troubled times, he had to have a relatively strong army.

"Ding! Lord, I just want to farm well and make a request for territorial merger, your territory 'Kozuki Village' will become a vassal village of 'Summer Town', and you will lose your lordship qualification, please consider the consequences carefully before making a decision. ”

Xia Liang received Chutian's request for territorial merger.

"Accept."

"Ding! You have lost your territory 'Kozuki Village', so please choose a new growth direction. ”

"Wenchen direction."

Xia Liang lost his lordship status and chose to become an internal affairs talent in the direction of a civil minister.

And the one who benefited the most was Chutian, who got a third-level village intact. The development of Xiaozhu Village is unexpectedly good.

Xiaozhu Village focuses on the direction of economic development, while Xia Town focuses on military and agriculture, which can just complement each other.

Although the military strength of Xiaozhu Village is not strong, its prosperity is closely followed by Xia Zhen because of its economic development. In particular, Xia Village actually had C-level specialties, which surprised Chutian.

Raw silk and silk, that is a steady stream of gold.

The fund-raising ability of the bank and the purchasing power of the commercial bank can promote the economic development of the villages and towns.

"Your Xiaozhu Village is also about to upgrade the town, I didn't expect you to be willing to merge with our Xia Town."

Chu Tian was a little surprised.

The development of Xiaozhu Village is definitely not bad.

Xia Liang spread his hands helplessly: "No matter how prosperous the economy is, if you don't have enough force to protect yourself, it will be swallowed up by others." The commerce of the Song Dynasty was developed, wasn't it still bullied by the Jin, Liao, Yuan, and even the Western Xia? You are already one of the largest player territories in Xuzhou District, and it happens to be next to my village, do you think I still have a choice? ”

"Ahem......"

Chu Tian listened to how he felt that he was a big villain, specializing in bullying the neighboring villages.

In fact, it is unlikely that other lords will be peacefully annexed. Kotsukimura had no way to resist before accepting the merger. If you face an ambitious lord in the future, it is estimated that you will have to draw your sword or join forces vertically and horizontally.

The merger of Xiaozhu Village brought huge benefits, and the total prosperity of Xia Town became 1025, ranking third in Xuzhou.

If it weren't for the fact that the first two lords owned more than one vassal village, they might have been ranked higher.

The lord of Xiaozhu Village also changed, from Xia Liang to Chutian, and at the same time, Chutian appointed Xia Liang as the village chief of Xiaozhu Village.

Now Chutian can directly intervene in the development of Xiaozhu Village, or instruct the direction of Xia Liang's development, which is a bit similar to appointing a legion. After all, it is impossible for a lord to be able to take care of every territory.

If you have to do everything yourself, you may die before you get out of school like Zhuge Liang.

"Now that I'm going back to Kozuki Village, what else do I have to say, Lord Lord?"

Summer cool deliberately ridiculed.

"There are 100 young people in Xiaozhu Village, and I want to train all of them into professional soldiers."

For the first time, Chutian gave orders to a vassal village.

"Lord, what are you going to do with the troops? If this continues, the economy may be dragged down. ”

"There is a water village ten kilometers south of Xia Town, I want to destroy that water village, and I will also attack the surrounding third-level villages. First-level towns have four vassals, and Xiaozhu villages only occupy one place. That is, it is also possible to capture three villages. ”

"Yes, my lord."

After Xia Liang understood Chutian's purpose, he expressed his support.

The other third-level villages are not necessarily willing to surrender, and if they surrender, they are not necessarily loyal, unless they have strong force to convince the other party.

"You don't need to call me lord, after all, we used to be allies, and this is a privilege you have gained by contributing to the small building village."

"Yes, my lord."

“……”

Before returning to Xiaozhu Village, Xia Liang was very interested in the economy of Xia Village, so he went to the fourth-level fish market and found that there were only a dozen fishermen in Xia Town who could accommodate hundreds of stalls.

"If it's not enough to only build without publicity, I'll help you find a way to attract residents from the surrounding villages and towns to come here."

Seeing the depression of the fish market in the summer, Xia Liang immediately thought of helping Xia Village revitalize trade.

"The third-level commercial bank has the quota to set up two branches, one of which has been set up in Langya City, and I asked the commercial bank to set up a branch in Xia Town."

"Qianzhuang also has a branch quota, set up a branch in Xia Town, and help you collect money from the people."

Hearing Xia Liang's careful plan, Chu Tian found that after obtaining Li Kui, a talent in agriculture and the rule of law, he had picked up another business talent.
