"Village chief, a team of cavalry has come in, you can run away!"

The people of a second-level village were panicked, and the light cavalry of Xia Zhen had forcibly broken through the village gate, and the silver-level generals fell under the opponent's sword.

The light cavalry of Xia Zhen drove directly to the lord's mansion of the second-level village, and the village chief of the other party had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

Mulan dismounts and leads her soldiers to destroy the stone monument in the second-level village.

The destruction of the stele meant that the village would soon be deserted.

"Drive the entire population back to Summer Town."

Hua Mulan led the cavalry to drive hundreds of villagers to Xia Town.

Xia Zhen needs to upgrade the population, and Mulan's mission is to plunder the population everywhere and quickly increase the population of Xia Town.

Lacking troops before, Chu Tian could only wait slowly for the displaced people to merge into the village. At the town level, the default rules of the game have changed, and it is significantly faster to raid the surrounding population than to passively wait for the outcasts to appear.

Not only the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also the big lords of other civilized areas also devoured the surrounding small lords.

The law of the jungle is the only rule of "Lord".

The village chief, who had escaped from the village over the wooden hedge, was disheveled and watched in embarrassment as the cavalry who had suddenly entered the village plundered all the population, gold and silver, and left.

"The village that Lao Tzu had developed with great difficulty was destroyed. Who the hell are these cavalrymen? ”

The village chief shuddered at the thought that his hero had been killed by the other party's hero in just a few moves.

The other side clearly showed no mercy, and the purpose was clear - to destroy the village and plunder the population.

Ordinary horse thieves don't take away villagers, so there is only one explanation, there is a big lord behind Mulan who is manipulating everything.

Xia Town is only fifty kilometers away from Langya City, and the plundered villages are also near Langya City.

So the legend of an indifferent and ruthless female butcher spread in Langya City.

It is said that this female butcher led a fierce cavalry to the south of Langya City, destroying 81 villages one after another. None of the freelancers in Langya City dared to venture to the south of Langya City.

In fact, Mulan didn't destroy eighty-one villages, because there weren't that many villages around Xia Town at all. Mulan destroyed eight villages one after another, capturing a total of 916 households and 4,713 people, and relocated the population of the eight villages to Xia Town. The population that could not fit in Xia Town moved to Yunlai Village, Xiaozhu Village, and Shangbi Village.

The 4,000 population required for Xia Town to be upgraded to a second-tier town was quickly reached.

"Mulan is really capable."

Chutian just gave an order to Mulan, and Mulan completed the task neatly.

When the population condition is met, there is also a prosperity requirement.

Prosperity is divided into the overall prosperity of the territory, and a first-level town plus four vassal villages requires 3000 prosperity. There is also the town's own prosperity, which requires 1200 prosperity.

There are many ways to increase prosperity, and it is clear that an increase in population can increase prosperity. In addition to this, it is necessary to develop the economy and build as many buildings as possible or raise the level of buildings in the town.

Chu Tian took out the gold and silver looted from Lingyan Town and eight villages, purchased all the architectural drawings and resources, and built a large number of buildings in Xia Town.

In order to personally supervise the construction of the construction in Xia Town, Chu Tian asked Liu Sandao to lead a team to suppress Ling Yan Town, and then returned to Xia Town with the captives himself, and put the captives under house arrest.

The construction of the project is not only to increase prosperity, but also to increase the employment rate of the townspeople of Xiazhen. The population of Xia Town suddenly rose from more than 2,000 to 5,000, and Elder Li was scrambling just to settle the new townspeople, let alone solve the employment problem of these townspeople.

In the past, Xia Zhen relied on absorbing small numbers of displaced people to increase its population, and the number of new residents was small, so it was easy to arrange housing and work for them. But now the population of Xia Town has suddenly doubled, which means that there will be a double of homes and jobs.

The plundering of the population also had a negative effect - a significant decline in popular morale and law and order.

These newcomers were displaced by Mulan's cavalry to destroy their village, and naturally had a problem with integrating into the larger collective of Summer Town. Imagine that you are living a good life, but a team of cavalry forcibly moves you to a new place, and everything has to start all over again, and you are naturally unhappy.

The morale of the people in Xia Town fell to 55, and the law and order dropped to 51, which means that an uprising could occur at any time.

The reason why there has been no riot is probably because of the fear of Mulan's force, Xia Zhen's military strength, and the supervision of the original townspeople.

However, if Xia Zhen was surrounded by enemies, Chu Tian believed that there was a ninety percent chance that these new townspeople would revolt.

The way to raise people's morale is simple: first, to provide shelter and jobs, second, to implement policies that are conducive to restoring people's morale, and finally to slowly restore it over time. After all, most people forget the pain when the scar is good.

The commercial bank of Xiaozhu Village set up a branch in Xia Town to enhance the prosperity of Xia Town, and Chutian could directly go to the commercial bank to entrust them to go to Langya City to buy architectural drawings.

He upgraded the resource bonus buildings such as farmland, mines, quarries, and lumber yards to the third level, and then upgraded the celadon factory, orchards, pig farms, chicken farms, fish ponds and other economic buildings, as well as several military buildings such as the arsenal, the third-level school field (plus the training experience of soldiers), the third-level infantry battalion, the second-level naval division battalion, and finally the cultural buildings such as the private school and the land temple......

The entire summer town has become a large construction site inside and out.

Hundreds of homes, dozens of large buildings sprawled, and there were carpenters, stonemasons, and homeless people everywhere.

The sole Minister of the Interior, Lee Kui, has been busy lately, distributing the newly cultivated land to the new townspeople.

The policy of "the tiller has his land" has played a great role in reviving the hearts and minds of the people, which have risen from 55 to 61.

During the construction of the construction project in Xia Town, it happened to be the busy season of planting in early October, and the farmers involved in the construction were forced to leave the construction site and return to the fields to sow seeds.

Chu Tian was anxious, and there were too many things to do. Take control of Lingyan Town, upgrade buildings, construct new buildings, supervise farmers to sow seeds, and manage vassal villages......

Due to the influx of people, vassal villages are also facing the problem of declining popular morale.

If it is not handled well, the villagers of the vassal village will hold the village chief hostage and shout that the prince will be peaceful.

These belong to the construction of internal affairs, and in order to prepare for the first epic battle, Chutian also has to consider the matter of military training.

Recruiting soldiers and training soldiers are two different concepts.

Recruited soldiers start at level 10 and can be trained up to level 100, which is the difference between a recruit and a battle-hardened soldier.

Chu Tian came to Mulan's residence next door, and there was the sound of scooping water inside. When Mulan came out, her long hair was wet, apparently just taking a shower.

When she saw Chu Tian coming, she hurriedly wiped her long hair with a towel, looking a little flustered: "It's good that the lord has something to find someone to call me over." ”

"I will form a squad of 100 light cavalry, and the task of training light cavalry will be entrusted to you. After two months, the average rank of the hussars was to reach level 35. ”
