A caravan came to Xia Village and brought a large amount of timber and grain.

This is the caravan of Xiaozhu Village, which was entrusted by Chu Tian to collect the materials needed by Xia Village everywhere. Because of the commission provided by Chutian, the caravan in Xiaozhu Village has also grown in size, and now it has 30 horses. The horses used by the caravans were still different from the horses used by the cavalry, and the prices were cheaper.

"Village Chief, in order to collect the materials you want, we have made several trips back and forth between Langya City and Xia Village."

The caravan leader got down from the carriage and came to the lord's mansion to visit Chu Tian.

"Thank you. How is your village chief? ”

Chu Tian met with the caravan leader of Xiaozhu Village, who was also a special talent-businessman.

"Recently, our village chief has been busy expanding the mulberry planting area and building a textile workshop. She also established trade relations with silk shops in Langya City, and in the future, Xiaozhu Village provided a batch of raw silk every year, and even silk to silk shops. ”

The caravan leader took a sip of tea and mentioned the recent developments in Kozuki Village.

Textile workshop? Silk?

Chu Tian quickly understood Xiao Zhucun's thoughts.

Silk, tea, porcelain, this is a famous specialty of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if different civilization areas are opened up in the future, which Eastern Han District lord's goods are more competitive, the merchants of other civilization areas will naturally find him to buy goods.

The village chief of Xiaozhu Village is indeed a business talent.

Players have a variety of identities in reality, and they are well-versed in different fields, so it's not surprising to have an expert who can build nuclear bombs as a lord. It's just that "Lord" has a technological limit, and items beyond the set will be automatically invalidated.

Chu Tian thought about it for a long time, and the caravan leader took out two drawings from his arms: "These are the two drawings you asked the villain to buy, the second-level shipyard drawings and the second-level dock drawings. The subsequent timber and grain will be purchased from the surrounding villages. Our caravan earns a little hard-earned money. ”

Chu Tian accepted the two drawings. In order to buy two drawings, he paid a lot of real money. The second-level shipyard drawings are 250 taels of silver, and two shipbuilding skill books are also attached to prevent the lack of shipwrights in the village. Shipwrights are rare among special talents, especially senior shipwrights who can build ships and buildings.

The drawings of the second-level wharf cost 150 taels of silver, which can accommodate a lot of small boats, but cannot accommodate medium and large warships, cargo ships, and sea ships.

Only Langya City has such drawings for sale.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The ultimate purpose of Chutian's construction of these two buildings was to build a fourth-level fish market.

The fourth-level fish market can bring a lot of taxes, and it is a relatively efficient building for Chutian, who spends money everywhere. As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, Xia Village is close to the Yi River, and can make full use of the freshwater fish resources and water transportation advantages of the Yi River.

"The villain is also just to support his family, and the village chief has a job for the villain, but the villain is grateful. The villain went and brought the timber. ”

The caravan leader only visited half a pillar of incense, and hurried to collect supplies.

Chu Tian got two drawings and immediately asked Li Kui to deploy resources to build a secondary shipyard and a secondary port.

Xia Village already has a Grade 1 shipyard and a Grade 1 dock, and with Grade 2 drawings, it can be expanded on the original basis, and it requires less materials than rebuilding.

There are more types of ships that can be built in secondary shipyards, and the types of ships that can be built now are small plank boats, scout boats, small fishing boats, and small cargo ships.

Small plank boats: civilian paddle boats, suitable for water travel, can also be used for fishing, cargo or warfare, but the load is limited, almost no defensive effect.

Small fishing boats: civilian fishing boats, suitable for inland lakes and offshore use, which can improve fishing efficiency.

Small cargo ships: civil transport ships, cargo ships with a net deadweight of less than 10 tons, which can be used to transport grain and other materials.

The first three types of ships are civilian vessels. The so-called civilian, that is, villagers can place orders with the shipyard to produce small wooden boats, small fishing boats, and cargo ships. As long as the shipyard does not have warships under construction, it will generally take orders from the villagers and receive income.

As for the appearance of scout ships in secondary shipyards, they already fall under the scope of military vessels.

The name of the so-called scout ship comes from ancient records, that is, small boats used to carry out reconnaissance and patrol tasks, also called sentinel ships.

Name: Scout Ship (Sentinel Ship)

[Rank]: Second-tier ships

[Length]: 11.4 meters

[Width]: 2.43 meters

[Cost]: 10 taels of silver

[Configuration]: single sloop, 1 oar, 8 oars, no female wall

[Evaluation]: Flexible and fast boats, lacking offensive and defensive means, suitable for reconnaissance, patrolling, challenge, setting up suspicious soldiers, and ambushing soldiers.

"When the secondary shipyard is completed, a sentinel ship will be built."

Chu Tian did not have the ability to support a powerful sailor, and it took eight sailors for just one scout ship.

Scout ships are better than nothing. For the oars, in order to ensure speed, the number of sailors is generally more than the number of soldiers, which means that a scout ship is estimated to not be able to accommodate several soldiers in addition to sailors.

A scout ship was built because Xia Village was close to the Yi River and needed a sentinel ship to search the nearby waters. In "Lord", the Yi River, with a basin area of 170,000 square kilometers, is a big river, and some free players found that some big rivers have water villages when exploring this world, so Chu Tian had to be wary of threats from the Yi River.

In addition, water battles and naval battles are also a major setting of "Lords". For the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the water battles on the Yangtze River were important, but the focus of most lords was still on land. However, for the lords of certain civilizations, they will focus on naval warfare, such as the Viking District, the Merchant District of Venice, and the Holy See.

Chu Tian had already consciously trained sailors.

If different civilization zones are opened, it will be up to the sailors to conquer other civilizations in the future.

It would take time for the second-level shipyard to be completed, so Chu Tian found two carpenters and handed them the skill books of the shipwrights to study, so that they could become shipwrights.

At the same time, he ordered the recruitment of eight civilians with water knowledge and made them sailors.

So Xia Village had the first sailor division - eight sailors with a combat strength of only 5.

"Xuzhou and Qingzhou are both states close to the sea, and there are many deep-water ports, especially Qingdao in Jiaozhou Bay."

Chutian calculated that the actual distance between Langya City and Jiaozhou Bay was about 250 kilometers. The area of "Lord" is expanded by 10 times, and if you ignore the surface of three-dimensional space, it is equivalent to extending the length of the side by 3.16 times, and the straight-line distance between two points by 4.47 times. In "Lord", the distance between Langya and Jiaozhou Bay is about 1,100 kilometers.

"It's too far."

Chu Tian shook his head, not thinking about things that were too far away, now Xia Village didn't even have the ability to make warships. The real warship is not a scout ship, but a ship such as a walker, a ship, a fighting ship, and a building ship.

The Walker is a ship that can only be built in a third-class shipyard and requires a mid-level shipwright, while a shipwright, a fighting ship, and a building ship require a more advanced shipbuilder and shipwright.
