The farmland outside Xia Village was golden, and Chu Tian, as the village head, led many villagers to go down to the fields to harvest grain.

Even the village chief personally went to the field, and heroes and soldiers such as Hua Mulan, Elder Li, Zhao Qi, and Wu Shang were no exception, and before the "Yellow Turban Trace" activity began, they should harvest grain as soon as possible, otherwise they would be affected by the war.

In the era of cold weapons, soldiers and horses did not move grain and grass first, and if they did not farm well, soldiers would not have the strength to fight if they did not have enough to eat.

In "Lord", the morale of the troops is very important, and the troops without morale will choose to turn around and flee, and may even mutiny. History does not know how many armies were defeated because of lack of food.

Harvesting crops with a scythe is no less labor-intensive than fighting.

Chu Tian had harvested the grain for half a day, and he already felt tired.

The other lords of Xuzhou should also be leading the villagers to harvest grain at this time.

"Village Chief, eat noodles."

Elder Li's daughter, Li Lan, who is now a low-level physician in the Xia Village Level 2 Medical Center, handed a bowl of noodles to Chu Tian.

"Thank you."

"Why is the village chief always so polite."

Li Lan couldn't help but laugh.

The women and girls of Xia Village also prepared cold water and rice noodles at noon, and everyone ate in the fields.

It's not easy for the peasant brothers. As the head of the village, Chutian personally harvested wheat, instructed pigs, chickens, and fish raising, and also cared about public security and the satisfaction of the villagers, so he experienced the hardships of farming.

Chu Tian was also able to have leisure to check the conditions for Xia Village to be upgraded to a third-level village while he was resting.

The conditions for upgrading a second-tier village to a third-tier village are not too difficult.

First, reach 200 Prosperity.

Second, the people's will is 70 and public security is 70.

Third, the number of special buildings should not be less than 10.

Fourth, the military rating should not be less than 400.

Fifth, the population should not be less than 800 people.

Xia Cun has already met these four conditions, and the fifth condition is still a little short.

A village of 800 people can no longer be considered a small village, and it can be called a large village after being upgraded to a third-level village.

The grain levied by Xia Village is still possible to feed a few cavalry and 50 elite infantry.

It is said that above the elite infantry is the third-order infantry Xuzhou soldiers, which officially have their own name.

At present, only Mulan is qualified to be the main general in Xia Village, and the 25% offensive and defensive bonus is very considerable.

"Alas, these crops were planted by us last year, and now the village is getting bigger and bigger, please pay attention to the grain and grass stocks, and if necessary, you need to buy grain from outside."

Elder Li walked over with a wooden cane and reminded Chu Tian of an important piece of information - there was a potential food crisis in Xia Village.

The initial grain of Xia Village is 500 units, which is enough for 500 people for a year, which is more than enough for the initial population of Xia Village of 100.

However, now the population of Xia Village is approaching the 800 mark, and 500 units of surplus grain can only support more than half a year.

Moreover, in order to replenish their physical strength, soldiers consume twice as much food as usual.

The food problem is a difficult problem.

Accumulating grain and becoming king is not just a slogan. Grain can be directly equivalent to gold and silver in troubled times.

"If there is no food, we will rob it, and rob the Yellow Turban Army."

Chu Tian's eyes were fierce.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who were killed by the lords and princes in "Lord" can at least circle the earth once, and if they don't rob the Yellow Turban soldiers' food, they are tyrannical things.

You can also grab the gold and silver of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and then trade with Langya City to buy excess food from the city lord Zang Ba.

When there is no war between the player lord and the NPC lord, the player lord can trade with the lord normally.

Listening to Chu Tian's words of tiger and wolf, Elder Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his village chief was more like a Yellow Turban soldier than a Yellow Turban soldier.

If it weren't for the fact that the foundation of the territory and the function of occupying other lords' territories had not yet been opened, Chu Tian directly led a team of soldiers out of the village to loot.

Chu Tian suddenly remembered that Xiaozhu Village, five kilometers away, had economic buildings such as rice shops, commercial houses, and dart bureaus, and it seemed that grain could be bought directly from Langya City through the buildings of Xiaozhu Village—provided that there was money.

Chutian asked the village chief of Xiaozhu Village to use her building.

"No problem, but there will be a normal charge."

Soon, the village chief of Xiaozhu Village replied to Chutian in the summer.

The benefits of the alliance are also shown, which is equivalent to two villages developing at the same time, taking what they need from each other, which is the benefit of trade.

Chutian continued to devote himself to the harvesting of crops.

The harvest of crops is not calculated according to the grain income of the panels, but according to the actual harvest of seeds planted in October, and there may be a bumper harvest, locust plague or drought.

The so-called so-called planting melons and getting melons and planting beans and getting beans depends on this year's harvest.

"Food crops are too simple, and we must enrich crop varieties and cultivate improved varieties."

Chu Tian had a busy day, and he also found some problems during the work.

At present, the crops in Xia Village are mainly wheat and vegetables.

The setting of the Eastern Han District in "Lords" does not have corn, Champa rice, sweet potatoes and other crops of the Age of Discovery. There are no ones in the Holy See District and Dongying District. Of course, the Eastern Han District also has its own exclusive crops, such as tea.

The specialties of the different civilizations can only be exchanged after the borders of the civilizations are opened.

However, Langya City can still buy seeds for crops such as rape and yam. As the village head, Chu Tian has to find a way to enrich his own and the villagers' menus.

After the wheat is harvested, it is not finished, it has to be dried and stored.

There is a granary in Xia Village. The granary is a built-in building, and it can be expanded or upgraded without the need for drawings. Theoretically, a second-tier village can also build a full-level granary...... It's just that there shouldn't be a lord who will invest a lot of resources in the early stage to expand the granary. Without food, no matter how big a granary is, it is useless.

Time is approaching the day when a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers will appear.

This time the appearance of the Yellow Turban Army is just a warm-up for the epic battle "Yellow Turban Rebellion". As for the epic battle "Yellow Turban Rebellion" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, according to the news that Chu Tian learned in the guild, the epic battle was very difficult, and it was necessary to fight to the death with the Yellow Turban Army led by special heroes such as Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, of course, the rewards were also very rich, and it was possible to recruit special heroes from the Yellow Turban camp.

Prior to this, Chu Tian decided to upgrade Xia Village to a third-level village and build fortifications at the same time.

The basic fortifications of the first and second level villages are wooden fences, and the wooden fences of the third level villages can be replaced with a combination of earth walls and wooden fences.

Chu Tian also had the wooden arrow tower construction blueprints that were scavenged from the rebel marquis, which were not used.

If you're just defending a village, you can also place hunting traps near the village.

The wooden arrow tower coupled with the hunting trap was enough to give the Yellow Turbans a headache when they tried to attack Xia Village.

"It's not just about defending, it's about attacking, and only by killing as many Yellow Turban soldiers as possible can you get more feats."

Chu Tian waited until the population of Xia Village had grown to 800 people, and came to the Lord's Mansion to prepare to upgrade Xia Village to a third-level village.

He is also one of the lords of the first echelon of the Eastern Han District.

To upgrade to a third-level village, you must build at least two wooden arrow towers at the entrance of the village to build Xia Village into an impregnable wall.
