Chu Tian used money to buy Yunlai Village, but instead of Xia Zhen's money, he used Yunlai Village's money. The village chief of Yunlai Village can take 50 gold from the warehouse of Yunlai Village and has a job in Xia Town. The price was the abandonment of Yunlai Village, which became the third vassal village of Xia Town.

Yunlai Village has a population of 1,458 people, and its development direction is agriculture, with third-class farmland, rice shops, wells, and first-class reservoirs. Chu Tian had already considered before choosing to attack Yunlai Village, he needed a vassal village that specialized in producing grain. Therefore, among the third-level villages near Xia Town, he specially selected Yunlai Village.

Xia Town now has about 2,600 people, 2,100 in Xiaozhu Village, 550 in Shangbi Village, and 1,450 in Yunlai Village, with a total population of 6,700.

Population is the most important resource of Lords, and a larger population means more taxes, more troops, and the ability to quickly build up strength after a war.

Chu Tian was not at ease with the village chief of Yunlai Village, but enabled an NPC internal affairs talent management village of Yunlai Village, and the village chief of Yunlai Village went to Xia Town to take up a post.

NPC internal affairs can only see loyalty, but players can't see loyalty, and directly appointing the player as the village chief is too variable. Unless they are comrades-in-arms who share life and death, or subordinates who have served for many years, it is possible for Chu Tiancai to appoint them to manage the people.

The conquest of Yunlai Village did not lose a single soldier, Chu Tian walked around the farmland of Yunlai Village, and the farmland of Yunlai Village was not a problem for 2,000 people to cultivate.

The strength of Yunlai Village was 50 first-order light infantry, and Chutian did not increase the strength of Yunlai Village, so that Yunlai Village had more labor to farm.

Yunlai Village farms, Shangbi Village mines, Xiaozhu Village makes money, and as for the war, it will be handed over to Xia Zhen. Xia Zhen has several barracks, as long as the labor of various villages is moved to Xia Town, and the barracks of Xia Town are used for training, an army can be brought out quickly.

When Chu Tian's squad returned to Xia Town, there were more than a dozen wounded soldiers in the second-level medical hall in Xia Town, as well as the townspeople who came to see the doctor, and several doctors were busy helping the patients heal.

The current second-level medical hall already has 5 junior doctors and 10 apprentices, and even then it is scrambled due to the sudden increase in wounded soldiers.

There is a certain probability that a wounded soldier will die or become disabled due to wound infection, but most soldiers with minor injuries can return to the army.

"This town is not much more prosperous than my village, and it has a large population, and it deserves to be the first territory in Langya country. It is right not to choose resistance. ”

The village chief of Yunlai Village followed Chutian to Xia Town, and when he saw the prosperity of Xia Town, he couldn't help but sigh. Xia Zhen is not an existence that Yunlai Village can compete with at all. The population of Xia Town is almost twice that of Yunlai Village, not to mention that Xia Town still has the township warriors and troops of vassal villages that can be mobilized.

The first thing Chu Tian did when he came back was to replenish the lost troops, transfer a group of laborers from the vassal villages, and transfer them to Xuzhou archers.

It takes time to recruit soldiers, and in the future, you will have to train on the school field, so you must plan the time in advance, which is called raising soldiers.

There are 50 garrisons in Yunlai Village, 50 garrisons in Shangbi Village, and 40 garrisons in Shuizhai. Chutian implemented the policy of "separating soldiers and peasants", and all professional soldiers were used, and in terms of public security, there were village warriors serving as government officials.

Xia Zhen now has only 40 cavalry, 40 Xuzhou archers, and 80 elite infantry, for a total of 160 professional soldiers.

Chutian transferred 50 laborers from Yunlai Village and Xiaozhu Village each, and trained 40 Xuzhou archers and 60 elite infantry.

In this way, there are 260 professional soldiers in Xia Town, plus 140 professional soldiers in the territory, for a total of 400 professional soldiers.

A population of 6,700 supports 400 professional soldiers, including 40 horses, which is an exaggerated proportion.

In the end, there is still not enough population.

Chutian found Li Kui and asked him to write a notice on his behalf. The main thing is that Chutian's calligraphy is crooked......

"However, in the territory under our jurisdiction, if there are more than two children in a family, the tax can be reduced, and for the annual newborn, the lord's palace will also give a security allowance according to the situation. In addition, farmers are encouraged to raise more livestock to improve their lives, and the lord's government will send pig experts, chicken experts, and fish experts to provide guidance. The title of the notice reads like this - if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, have more children and raise more pigs. ”

Li Kui was stunned when he heard the content of the notice that Chutian wanted him to write.

Such a policy is really very simple and crude, without any superfluous nonsense.

The more you have, the less taxes you pay.

The lord's palace will also intervene in population fertility and livestock breeding.

"No polishing required, just publish it."

Chu Tian thought about it, and the positive impact of population growth in the future can offset the negative impact of tax cuts now. Chu Tian is betting on the future.

In the early stage, it can still be used to support the war, and in the later stage, the competition is the comprehensive strength of population and territory.

In addition, as the population increases, so does the expenditure of each household.

The per capita tax is less, but because of the increase in population and the promotion of consumption, the consumption tax has increased. If it increases and decreases, maybe the total tax revenue of the lord's mansion will not decrease.

So a notice was posted on the bulletin board in Summer Town.

"Is there anyone who can read and say what the notice posted by the government says?"

"Let me see...... If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, have more children and raise more pigs. If a family has three or more children, the tax can be reduced......"

"Is there such a good thing?!"

Many eligible families were overjoyed to suddenly cut their taxes.

And people with only one or two children are a little jealous, tax cuts, dream things.

An increase in population, for each family, means an increase in the labor force in the family, an increase in the family's income, and at the same time the ability to cope with the government's military service. For example, if there are three men in a household, and the government conscripts and takes one away, then there are two men who can work, and they will not be extinct. Now you can also reduce taxes and have a safe birth subsidy if you have more children.

"Also, if the family raises livestock, the government will provide talent guidance, and farmers who raise a lot of pigs will be rewarded with pig raising skill books."

The onlookers were in an uproar again.

Obviously, Chutian used the plundered wealth to revitalize the industry and promote economic development.

The population policy and breeding policy were transmitted to Xiaozhu Village, Shangbi Village, and Yunlai Village through the light cavalry.

As a result, Xia Zhen and the three vassal villages began to implement a new policy.

"Chu Tian is a smart man."

The village chief of Kozuki Village, Xia Liang, was informed that she, as a vassal, could only implement policies according to the orders of the lord's mansion. Of course, if there is a dissatisfaction, she can also give advice to Chu Tian.

Chutian encourages childbearing, and the fertility rate in Xia Town will be extremely alarming in the future. Xiazhen's private school policy of "one income and two halves" is also encouraging childbirth.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Since ancient times, affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts. ”

Chutian found that after the implementation of the policy of reducing taxes on childbirth, the people's morale in Xia Zhen rose again.
