"The lord has returned to the city!"

In fact, this was the second time that Chu Tian returned to Xia City, and as soon as he returned from the national war, he immediately went north, and after expelling Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui, he officially returned to the city.

The duo of Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui is not weak, and they also did their best to unify the southern part of Yangdu County. It's just that the end of the national war caught them off guard, and they were afraid of the victorious Chutian, so they immediately withdrew their troops.

The crisis in Xueyue Town was lifted, and Chutian returned directly to the division.

When his strength grows, he must uproot Qi Xiaobai and the Taishan thief Changfeng behind him.

Chu Tian returned with the elite army that had won the national war, and was followed by a group of Goguryeo soldiers, who respected Chu Tian like a god and groveled.

The officials and big families of Xia City came to greet them.

Not only the original residents of Xia City, but also the freelance players who moved to Xia City, they were already a little afraid when they looked at Chu Tian. Because Chu Tian already has his own power, and his power is solid, there is no sign of going downhill at present.

"Although the houses in Xia Cheng are expensive, they are worth it."

"In the future, the land price in Xia Cheng is estimated to increase fivefold, and we can buy a few more houses."

Some freelancers saw Chutian's elite division and realized that Chutian's power might get bigger and bigger like a snowball, so they began to speculate on land prices.

The core area of Xia Cheng is every inch of land.

Chu Tian returned to Xia City and finally had the opportunity to take a good look at the two drawings he had obtained. One is a horse lance drawing, and the other is a Tang knife drawing. With special drawings, the blacksmith can produce horse lances and Tang knives.

Horse lance and Tang knife are both weapons, with these two drawings, you can produce the Tang Dynasty standard horse lance and Tang knife.

The horse lance is a weapon used by heavy cavalry, and the Tang sword can be used regardless of foot, and even the archers and grain transporters can be equipped - provided that there is money to build a large number of Tang knives.

Chu Tian found a senior blacksmith in Xia Cheng and handed him two drawings to see if he could produce them.

The senior blacksmith looked at the drawings in detail and said slowly: "The Tang knife produced by this Tang knife drawing is a silver-level weapon, but it is sharper than the ring-head knife of the same level. The horse lance produced by the horse lance drawing is a gold-level weapon, and the price of the horse lance may be much more expensive than the Tang knife, and it can even be passed down from generation to generation. ”

Chu Tian had long thought that the price of the horse lance was expensive, and this kind of weapon specially supplied to the heavy cavalry was not for ordinary people. Some heavy cavalry can also use the lance as a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.

"Let's build a hundred Tang knives and ten horse lances first."

Chu Tian roughly estimated the price, and then arranged for craftsmen to produce it.

"Yes."

The senior blacksmith took the two drawings. The two drawings record the production process of the horse lance and the Tang knife. If the blacksmith masters the art of crafting the horse lance and the Tang knife, he can create two weapons, the horse lance and the Tang knife, which requires time and resources.

Silver-level weapons were more valuable to Chu Tian than gold-level weapons, and the reason was very simple, no lord had the wealth to equip every soldier with gold-level weapons. A soldier with a silver-level weapon is already impressive.

After all, the horse lance is a precious weapon for heavy cavalry.

After Chu Tian returned to the lord's mansion, he bathed and changed his clothes to deal with the internal affairs that had accumulated during this time.

Preparations for the third-class horse market have been completed. At present, there are two horse merchants who are willing to settle in Summer City. Xia Cheng is a small city with a population of tens of thousands, and the demand for horses is not too big or small.

The horses in the horse market are divided into military war horses and civilian pack horses. The price of a war horse is much higher than that of a pack horse, otherwise the war horse would not be precious.

"More than 400 war horses were captured from the battlefield of Anseong, of which about 150 were excellent Goguryeo war horses that could withstand heavy cavalry. Mulan's light cavalry lost more than 200 horses. The existing war horses can probably form 150 heavy cavalry and 500 light cavalry. ”

Chu Tian originally wanted to build a fourth-level cavalry battalion, but now it seems that the demand is not so urgent.

With the monarch characteristics of "Heavenly Khan", it is possible to use the Goguryeo heavy cavalry with a monthly salary of 2 taels of silver and no need to pay a pension. The Goguryeo heavy cavalry, with more than 140 people, only needs to pay less than 300 taels of silver per month, and such cannon fodder troops are rare. When they are killed, they collect horses and armor and form a new heavy cavalry.

"I'm such a black-hearted ......"

Chu Tian must not stand in the position of the lord to consider the problem. Maximizing benefits is in line with the lord's thinking.

Chu Tian checked Xia Cheng's account books again, and the handwriting on the account books was beautiful and orderly, even Chu Tian could understand them.

Then there is the record of grain, the reclamation of new farmland.

These things were handled by Li Kui and Xia Liang, and there were no flaws.

The only loss was the two or three hundred low-level soldiers who were killed in the sneak attack by Wu Sangui, and Chu Tian would ask Wu Sangui for this account. But not now.

Now Chu Tian still has a Tang Dynasty military general recruitment order in his hand.

[Name]: Tang Dynasty General Recruitment Order

[Effect]: Randomly recruit a Tang Dynasty historical general.

In addition to a Tang Dynasty military general recruitment order, Chutian still has 47,000 military merits that have not been used.

Military exploits can be exchanged for a lot of rewards.

The Kaiyang County Order needs 10,000 military merits, and the Langya National Minister needs 100,000 military merits.

Chutian is now the lieutenant of Kaiyang County, and he can spend another 5,000 military merits to be promoted to Kaiyang County Commander.

But Chutian didn't have the idea of consuming military merit and getting promoted. There is not much difference between the lieutenant of Kaiyang County and the county order, whoever has soldiers in the troubled times will have real power, and it does not matter whether it becomes the Kaiyang County Commander or not.

Chu Tian coveted the position of Langya's prime minister. Langya is equivalent to the county Taishou, second only to the Xuzhou Thorn History. With the title of Langya's Prime Minister, Chutian can openly crusade against all the lords and forces in Langya who do not obey orders.

The prime minister of Langya needed 100,000 military merits, but Chutian's military merits were not enough, so he gave up.

"In the future, please Dong Zhuo, let him get me a Xuzhou Thorn History, Xuzhou Mudang, Tao Qian, that old boy is not qualified to sit in that position."

Chutian pinned his hopes on Dong Zhuo. He is also Dong Zhuo's benefactor, and when Dong Zhuo hostages Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he will try to curry favor with him and let Dong Zhuo make himself a prince, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Dong Zhuo was still very generous when he canonized these false positions.

The premise is that there is a little strength.

Chu Tian will see what other good things there are. In the first epic battle, his military merits were 14,000, and this time, his military merits were 47,000, which can be exchanged for more good things.

Chu Tian saw that there was a recruitment order in the list of items that could be exchanged for military merits.

Seeing the recruitment order, Chu Tian was a little moved.

Almost all of his historical heroes were recruited through recruitment orders.

Any recruitment order is a good thing!

[Name]: Random special talent recruitment order

[Required military merit]: 20,000

[Effect]: You can randomly recruit a special talent or a special talent from historical facts.

"Special Talent ......"

Chu Tian is now very familiar with "Lord".

Special talents include physicians, blacksmiths, shipwrights, carpenters, stonemasons, dancers, poets, assassins, and more.

Xia Cheng also has a lot of special talents.

"Let's exchange one."

Chu Tian was a little distressed and consumed 20,000 military merits to exchange for a recruitment order.

20,000 military merits, it may be a special talent with non-historical facts, or it may be a special talent with historical facts, which makes people love and hate.

"Just don't bring me eunuchs."

20,000 military merits were consumed, and there were 27,000 military merits left.

"Level 6 Cavalry Battalion Blueprints."

Chu Tian saw a blueprint that he coveted after the end of the first epic battle. At that time, Chu Tian, who only had 14,000 military merits, spent 5,000 military merits to exchange for a sixth-level infantry battalion blueprint, and there was not enough military merit to exchange for a sixth-level cavalry battalion blueprint worth 20,000 military merits.

And now he finally has enough military merit to exchange for a sixth-level cavalry battalion blueprint.

The blueprints of the sixth-level cavalry battalion are not a matter of price, but a matter of price.

Except for epic battles and national battles, there is basically no other way to obtain level 6 barracks blueprints.

Some small and medium-sized lords want to recruit troops, and they don't have high-level barracks blueprints, so they can only choose to capture cities with high-level barracks, such as Luoyang, Xiapi, Xiangyang, and so on.

"There is no sixth-level cavalry battalion in Langya City, I have to take it."

Chu Tian considered that Li Guang had a fifth-order exclusive cavalry, and Hua Mulan had a sixth-order exclusive cavalry, and a sixth-level cavalry battalion blueprint could cover their troops.

Of course, there may be restrictions on horses, equipment, and troop sources for exclusive troops.

High-level cavalry still has very strict requirements for troop sources, and the further north they go, the higher the proportion of troop sources suitable for cavalry.

"There are only 7,000 military merits left."

After Chu Tian exchanged the two items, his military merits were completely insufficient.

The construction drawings of the seventh-level cavalry battalion, worth 50,000 military merits; The blueprint of the construction of the eighth-level cavalry battalion is worth 100,000 military merits......

When Chu Tian saw some sky-high items, his military merits could not be satisfied at all.

So Chu Tian had no choice but to change a fourth-level production building drawing - a small weapon workshop. The armory workshop is more efficient than the blacksmith shop, which can reduce the cost of producing horse lance and Tang knife, and shorten the production time.

"The heavy cavalry has horse lances, the fine willow battalion has Tang knives, and the shooting battalion has Zhemu compound bows. The armor temporarily uses the unified Han Dynasty Liangdang armor. The Goguryeo heavy cavalry stayed, and the other captives went to work as coolies. ”

Chu Tian exchanged a few more blueprints to improve the architecture of Xia City, squandering all his military exploits.

Now he only has two recruitment tokens in his hands.

One is to recruit random special talents, worth 20,000 military merits, and the other is to recruit random Tang generals, the reward of the first lord of the Eastern Han camp in the Battle of Anshi City. Apparently the latter is better.

Chu Tian was used to putting better things behind, so he used the random special talent recruitment order first.

"Ou Yezi, Mozi, Bian Que...... No matter how bad Wang Zhaojun, Chen Yuanyuan, and Liu Ru are, I can barely accept it. ”

In order to use the recruitment order, Chu Tian also deliberately bathed and changed clothes and burned incense to worship his ancestors.

"Ding! Consume a random Special Talent Recruitment Order to gain the allegiance of the poet Du Fu. ”

“……”

When Chu Tian recruited this historical hero, he couldn't help but be stunned in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, even more dizzy than obtaining Li Shimin's characteristic "Heavenly Khan".

Poetry Saint Du Fu?

This name is very familiar to Chu Tian.

Ask all the lords and freelancers in the Eastern Han District, and any of them don't know the name.

Chu Tian thought it was some of the four beauties, but it turned out to be a poet, and it was still a nightmare for countless players in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Ding! The achievement system S-level achievement - 'Li Du's Poetry Ten Thousand Oral Biography' is opened. Collect poets Li Bai and Du Fu to get special rewards. ”

Chu Tian's achievement system, which was not very hopeful, finally had a hint.

This time I want to collect two poets, Li Bai and Du Fu, which seem very simple, but no one knows how to get Li Bai.

Du Fu is a special person he recruited with a random recruitment order.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Chu Tian has seen this profession as a poet.

A robe literati waved to Chu Tian, and there was a bit of apprehension in his tone: "Minister Du Zimei pays a visit to the lord." ”

Du Zimei?

Chu Tian thought for a while before he reacted, Zimei is Du Fu's character, so he called himself Du Zimei.

"No need to be polite."

Chu Tian was still a little surprised when he saw the legendary Du Fu, and he circled around Du Fu, he didn't look much different from ordinary literati.

He glanced at Du Fu's panel attributes again.

For the poet's panel, Chu Tian was still very curious.

[Name]: Du Fu

[Talent]: Special Talent (Poet)

[Level]: 30 [EXPERIENCE]: 0/10000

[Official position]: None

[Identity]: Tang Dynasty poet saint

[Loyalty]: 95

[Status]: Healthy

[Commander]: 19 (maximum 31)

[Brawn]: 16 (maximum 25)

[Intelligence]: 73 (maximum 80)

[Politics]: 53 (maximum 67)

[Charm]: 93

[Phase]: 230 (unfortunate)

[Favorability]: 50

[Trait 1]: Poetry Saint (SS-level trait, +25% of territorial cultural prosperity and influence, increase the probability of special talents taking refuge)

[Trait 2]: Du Fu Thatched Cottage (S-level trait, when serving as a teacher, the probability of students becoming special talents is increased)

[Trait 3]: Worried about the country and the people (S-level trait, the loyalty of the residents of the territory to the lord is increased, and the satisfaction of the territory is increased)

Du Fu's intelligence is not high, nor is it low.

The intelligence of "The Lord" is mainly measured by strategy, and Du Fu's intelligence is obviously not manifested in the aspect of giving advice, but in poetry and articles.

Du Fu's real value is three positive traits, all of which can bring positive bonuses to the territory, and the bonus magnitude is exaggerated.

Xia Cheng's cultural influence increased by 25% at once.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Du Fu has characteristics or not, because as long as Chu Tian claims that the poet saint Du Fu is in Xia City, there will definitely be countless free players to visit...... Visit Du Fu. The cultural influence of Xia Cheng can definitely be improved.

It's just that Du Fu is also a person of bad luck, more unfortunate than Li Guang, who lived after the Anshi Rebellion and was displaced for most of his life.

"Mr. Grievance is temporarily teaching in our Township School in Xia City."

Chu Tian really couldn't think of a more suitable job for Du Fu than teaching.

Du Fu can also handle some government affairs, but compared with prime minister-level literati like Fang Xuanling and Li Kui, Du Fu's politics are not enough.

Chu Tian was in a complicated mood, he still had a Tang Dynasty military general recruitment order in his hand now, so he wouldn't recruit any unexpected characters, right......
