In Liangshan Town, several shirtless men stood in front of Chu Tian.

Cough...... Chu Tian just wanted to pick out a water master commander from among them.

After having a population of 60,000 or 70,000, Xia and all the villages and towns finally had the ability to form a fleet that could cross the Yi River.

The southern part of Kaiyang County is divided into Hedong and Hexi, as the name suggests, the place east of the Yi River is Hedong, and the place west is Hexi. Some of the naming methods in ancient times were so unpretentious.

Chutian's territory is in Hexi, and further west is the range of Taishan County. There are still many villages and towns in the east of the river waiting for Chu Tian to conquer.

One of the problems he faced was the Yi River, which had expanded tenfold in size.

If you want to conquer the villages and towns east of the river, you must have a boat.

Liangshan Town has a third-level shipyard and a fourth-class wharf, which was originally a gathering place for the water bandits "Liangshanbo", and after being occupied by Chutian, it became the station of the sailor battalion to be established in Xia Town.

To set up a sailor battalion, the first thing to do is talent, a sailor general.

There are countless famous sailors and generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, basically from the forces in the Jiangdong area, such as the Eastern Wu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Southern Dynasties, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Ming Dynasty, or the Great Unification Dynasty.

However, at present, there are very few historical sailor generals owned by the player lord, and there is a lord in Yangzhou who has Liu Renzhan, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Chutian did not have a general of the water division, so he could only choose a silver-level hero to serve as the commander of the water division, and in the future, if there was a general of the historical water division, he would be appointed as the general of the water division.

Bronze and silver-level heroes are still easy to find, they are equivalent to high-level creeps.

The four silver-tier heroes in front of him are all well-versed in water and can be used for transitions.

Chu Tian looked at the properties one by one.

[Name]: Sun Liuwan

[Talent]: Silver (Sailor Hero)

[Level]: 45

[Identity]: A townsman of Liangshan Town, familiar with water

[Commander]: 35 [Force]: 51 [Intelligence]: 36 [Politics]: 11 [Charisma]: 65

[Trait]: Water General Small (D-rank trait, during water battles, self attack and defense +5, sailor class attack and defense +1)

Are the characteristics of the Sailor heroes so fierce?

Chu Tian found that the Sailor Hero also had additional attack and defense bonuses in water battles.

This is a hidden attribute of all heroes and soldiers other than force, and can make up for the difference in force under special circumstances.

In other words, the generals of Cao Wei and Shu Han may not be able to beat the generals of Eastern Wu in the water war, and they may be beaten and flee.

"Lord" has a clear positioning for each general, and if the lord uses it well, it can have the effect of defeating the strong with the weak.

"Sun Liuwan, from now on, I will appoint you as the commander of the Sailor Battalion and train the Sailor Battalion."

Chu Tian was very satisfied with Sun Liuwan's characteristics and force, although the commander's ability was a little ugly, but the commander's ability of more than 30 and the commander's ability of more than 40 did not make much difference in Chutian's opinion.

With the current scale of the Sailor in Xia Town, a fierce general with good characteristics is more practical.

"Liangshan Town has gathered all the ships with water warfare capabilities in our territory, including two ships and 37 sentinel ships, which require more than 300 sailors and more than 100 sailors."

Xia Liang followed behind Chu Tian with the account book that recorded Xia Zhen's materials, as long as Chu Tian asked about money and material reserves, she could answer them fluently as soon as possible.

If Fang Xuanling is Chutian's male secretary, then Xia Liang is Chutian's female secretary......

A person's thinking is biased towards ancient Confucianism, and a person's thinking is biased towards the modern concept of the supremacy of interests.

It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which is the reason why Chu Tian wants two different styles of long history.

Fang Xuanling is better at dealing with military intelligence and government affairs, while Xia Liang is more suitable for trade and financial management, and there is also the advantage of the player - the player knows what the situation is outside the Eastern Han District, so Xia Liang can put forward the idea of making money for sticks and widows, and the specialties of the Eastern Han District are quite popular in the Eastern Continent.

There is also a Li Kui...... However, Li Kui has been busy leading people to reclaim farmland and build water conservancy, but there are not many opportunities to follow Chutian, so he can't be regarded as a secretary.

"Recruit four hundred warriors and one hundred and fifty professional soldiers, of which fifty are sailor infantry and one hundred are sailor archers."

Chutian officially formed the first sailor battalion.

The personnel of the sailor battalion seem to be very large, a total of 550 people, but a careful analysis of its composition shows that most of them are ineffective warriors, that is, village warriors who paddle.

The main purpose of the sailor battalion is to transport troops and grain on the Yi River.

It is impossible to really want to establish a Soochow naval division on the Yi River.

However, it is not a loss to train the husbands, and in the future, these men who are familiar with the nature of the water can also be pulled to Jiaozhou Bay, the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River for water warfare. The premise is that Chutian is qualified to drink the Yangtze River.

"I'll try to keep the husband's money as low as possible."

Summer Cool is already thinking about saving money.

Chu Tian said: "The money that should be spent will be spent." ”

Xia Liang sighed helplessly: "Lord Lord, do you know how tight the finances are now?" The Willow Camp will cost three thousand taels of silver every month, and you will have to build a pair of armor for each of them. and food and grass for four hundred war horses. The amount of food and grass that a war horse eats every day is equivalent to feeding several professional soldiers. We can pay off the loan of the money bank with great difficulty, and it is very cool for you to fight in front, but ......"

Hearing the summer cold complaint, Chu Tian understood the truth that he didn't know the price of firewood and rice.

The army at the front is overwhelming, and in addition to good commanders, it also has to have strong logistics.

Every time Liu Bang fought with Xiang Yu, his troops were exhausted, and Xiao He's supplies from the rear came, so that he could hold on.

Chu Tian's eyes were red when he saw the summer coldness, and listened patiently. It is normal for the logistics staff to complain a little, especially now that Xia Zhen is developing rapidly, and Xia Liang, who is the city governor and faces a financial deficit and bankruptcy crisis, sleeps no more than six hours a day.

Xia Liang calmed down a little, blushing at his gaffe, and at the same time surprised Chu Tian's patience: "I'm sorry, I'm ...... gaffe for a while."

"Anybody in that position is going to be stressful. If you have pressure, you have to try to vent it, and if you don't have anyone to vent to, it's okay to say it to me in private. Of course, in front of others, to maintain my majesty. ”

Chu Tian didn't think there was anything, it was better to say that it was too normal, managing the finances and trade of tens of thousands of people's territory at such a young age, to say that there was no pressure, the vast majority of them were mediocre people who ate and drank.

Those things that can be prime ministers and county magistrates as soon as they come up, their faces do not change, and they deal with government affairs at a glance can only happen in novels.

Summer Liang nodded: "Hmm." When the Mi family of Donghai County heard about your achievements, they expressed their willingness to cooperate with us more, from celadon to raw silk, silk, paper, and hemp rope, with a monthly transaction volume of more than 2,000 taels of silver. ”

The Mi family's investment was expected by Chutian: "When we sit on the Langya Kingdom in the future, the Mi family is estimated to fully support us." You inquire about the birthdays of important people in the Mi family, and send people to give gifts in my name during the New Year's holidays to deepen the relationship with the Mi family. Although the property of the Mi family may not be worth the things we send, the gift is light and affectionate, and they will need their support to consolidate Xuzhou in the future. Liu Bei's starting capital, I want it. ”
