Although there were water bandits near Xia Village, it was not a top priority to eradicate them.

The construction of the second-level shipyard and the second-level dock was completed, and a large amount of timber and other materials were also transported one after another, so Chutian used the fourth-level fish market drawings dropped by the Yellow Turban general Zhang Min to add a landmark economic building to Xia Village.

The fourth-class fish market is a town-level building. If Xia Village has a fourth-class fish market, it is completely possible to treat freshwater fish as a specialty, attracting residents from surrounding villages and towns to come to Xia Village to buy and sell freshwater fish, and then promote the circulation of other commodities in the village.

The wheat near the Yihe River is harvested at the end of June and sown at the beginning of October, with a period in between to mobilize a large amount of labor.

Chu Tian took advantage of the fact that he was busy with the construction of buildings as much as possible to increase the prosperity of Xia Village and prepare for the upgrade of the first-level town.

There are three tiers of villages, as are market towns, and above there are smaller towns.

The conditions for upgrading a third-level village to a market town are more stringent than before, and there are three most important conditions:

First, the population is greater than 2,000.

Second, the prosperity is greater than 500.

Third, the expansion cost of 100 gold.

Population is the foundation of the territory, prosperity is a measure of the overall strength of the territory, and the cost of 100 gold is the cost of expanding the area under the direct jurisdiction of the territory.

The population of Xia Village is approaching the 2,000 mark, and it is not difficult to meet the first condition.

The second condition is the construction of various buildings to increase the prosperity of agriculture, commerce, culture, and the military. At present, the prosperity of Xia Village has reached 407.

"It is estimated that after the construction of the fourth-level fish market, the prosperity will not be far from 500. The third condition is a bit troublesome......"

The lord's mansion had to issue a stipend to the officials, infantry, and cavalry of Xia Village every month. An elite infantryman's monthly salary is 1.5 taels of silver, and a light cavalryman's salary is 2 taels of silver. Xia Village has 30 light cavalry and 70 elite infantry, and the total monthly expenditure of the army alone is as much as 165 taels of silver.

This does not include the Yu Lu issued to Mulan, Wu Shang, and Zhao Qi.

The officials of Xia Village also received a hundred taels of silver per month.

To put it bluntly, Xia Village's income is completely beyond its means. The reason why Xia Village can still operate normally is all because of the loot that Chu Tian captured from the Yellow Turban Army, as well as the 200 taels of gold obtained from the last event.

In order to build a fourth-class fish market, a second-class shipyard, a second-class wharf and other buildings, a new sentinel ship was added, and the village treasury of Xia Village has bottomed out.

You have to find a way to get 100 gold.

Chu Tian somewhat understood why Xiaozhu Village gave up the military camp and went all out to develop the economy. The villagers of Xiaozhu Village do not have to pay a salary, and they can save at least 100 taels of silver every month.

Thinking of this, Chu Tian already knew where to get 100 gold......

In order to develop freshwater fisheries, Chutian asked the lord's mansion to post notices encouraging some villagers to engage in fishing and fish pond farming.

The occupation of the villagers is not fixed, and will change depending on the building, policy, and location of the village, for example, farmers may become fishermen and carpenters.

Soon after the notice was posted, more than a dozen villagers began to turn into fishermen, and one family used their life savings to buy a small fishing boat from a secondary shipyard.

The fourth-class fish market has an initial area of 10,000 square meters and can be expanded into a large bazaar covering an area of 20,000 square meters, which is enough to accommodate several hundred stalls.

For Xia Village, which has only a few dozen fishermen, the area of the fourth-class fish market is huge. The fourth-class fish market was not originally a village-owned building, and it took ten days to build.

While waiting for the completion of the fourth-class fish market, the construction of the first military ship in Xia Village, the sentinel ship, was completed.

Lords is different from the real world, and the speed of construction and training is faster. If you want to achieve the glory of the Han Wu Emperor period according to the development speed in reality, you must have the accumulation of decades of Wenjing Zhizhi.

Chu Tian immediately arranged for eight sailors to use the sentinel boat for training.

"There is also a lack of drawings for the sailor battalion."

Chu Tian found that there were sailors, but there was no suitable sailor.

Sailors and infantry are different. Infantry can also use sentinel ships to fight on the water, but the attributes will be greatly reduced, and the seasick infantry will directly lose their combat effectiveness, just like Cao Cao's majestic northern soldiers were defeated by the Eastern Wu sailors in Chibi.

Other places also require money, especially the cost of 100 gold to upgrade a third-level village to a first-class town. Chu Tian temporarily gave up the idea of buying the blueprints of the Sailor Battalion.

"Ding! Congratulations to the lord of Youzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty for upgrading his territory to the world's first first-class town, Liaodong Town, and rewarding a diamond-level recruitment order! ”

The sudden sound of the system prompt made Chu Tian stunned, so soon a village was upgraded to a first-class town?!

"A small soldier at the border pass at the end of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this our second-ranked player in the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

Chutian opened the rankings, and the territorial prosperity of a small soldier at the border pass at the end of the Ming Dynasty topped the list with 502, surpassing the original No. 1 Lao Qin.

This player is most likely also a lord with a special hero.

Players throughout the Eastern Han District were shocked. The territorial prosperity of the Eastern Han Dynasty has always been the leader of the Guanzhong region, the lord of the Guanzhong region. As a result, during the event, a lord of Xuzhou District, "I just want to farm well", grabbed the top spot, and now he hit the world's first town, and ran out of a lord of Youzhou District, "A small soldier at the border pass at the end of the Ming Dynasty".

Players in other civilized areas were shocked to learn that the world's first town appeared in the Eastern Han District.

The highest call to storm the first town in the world should be the lord of the Holy See district: "God will bless you".

As a result, the honor of the world's first town was robbed by the lords of the Eastern Han District.

The honor of the world's number one hero is also in the Eastern Han District.

"The Eastern Han District is really powerful, and after entering the era of city-states, their internal strife will be very tragic."

"The Dongying District, Goryeo District, Annam District and the Indian District around the Eastern Han District will be unlucky in the future."

Players in the Holy See district sighed.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liaodong County, Youzhou, and Xiangping County, a lord led two hundred cavalry and one hundred players to attack a small nomadic tribe nearby.

The light cavalry swung their sabers into the tribe, and a dozen herdsmen who tried to resist fell under their sabers, blood staining the blood grooves of the sabers. The remaining herders became captives.

The lord rode his warhorse, looked indifferently at this group of lowly captives, and said to one of the guild masters: "All the labor is incorporated into my town, and I will attack the second-level town with all my might." The rest of the spoils are to be divided among you. As long as your guild helps me to attack the reward of the world's first city, I will give you the reward that the Yanqi Guild wants in the future. ”

The leader of the Yanqi Guild carried a gold-level longbow on his back: "You attack the first lord, I impact the first guild, and the cooperation is happy." ”

The lord nodded and said to the generals beside him: "Zu Dashou, lead the troops back to Liaodong Town." ”
