"Um...no problem."

Mulan agreed.

Chutian originally planned to recruit the second-tier cavalry, and Lingyan Town had a second-tier cavalry battalion. Unfortunately, Lingyan Town had not yet become a vassal, so Xiazhen could not use the second-tier cavalry battalion. not him.

The quality requirements of the warhorses required by the second-tier cavalry will also be higher. As for the heavy cavalry, the weight of its armor is not what ordinary warhorses can bear.

Before having better horses, Chutian temporarily recruited first-order light cavalry equipped with ordinary horses.

All the war horses are concentrated in Xia Town. War horses are comparable to gold and silver in troubled times and belong to strategic materials.

Sixty light cavalry were trained in the cavalry battalion in Xiazhen, and the training cycle was fourteen days. It happens that it will take half a month to expand the secondary school field to the third-level school field.

When the light cavalry comes out, they will transfer to the third-level school for training. The cavalry's trainer is Hua Mulan.

During this time, Chutian oversaw everyone's construction work and personally inspected farmers for planting.

Early October is the time for wheat sowing along the Yihe River.

There are more than 3,000 farmers in Xia Town, all of whom participate in sowing. The new farmland that Li Kui led the displaced people to reclaim finally played a role, and the newly joined townspeople could directly sow seeds in the new farmland.

Lingyan Town has a special product called "exquisite farm tools". When he controlled Lingyan Town, Chutian seized a batch of fine farm tools and gave them priority to Xia Town.

Xia Town is the basic business of Chutian, and it is the most important thing to manage Xia Town well.

There are more than a dozen cows pulling the columbine in the farmland, and farmers follow behind. The so-called columbine cart is a kind of agricultural tool for sowing. It was invented in the Western Han Dynasty in China. It consists of three columbine legs, and there are three openers under it, which are used for ditching and sowing on the leveled land.

"If there is a bumper harvest next year, Xia Town alone can supply food for 10,000 people."

Li Kui is very confident. His SS-level feature "do your best" can guide farmers to make full use of the land and increase grain output by 30%, so he still has this confidence.

Chutian just nodded, everyone understands the importance of farming, but Chutian may not know how to screen and sow seeds. All of these have Li Kui instructing farmers to cultivate.

The real farm work can't be done by Chutian, and he doesn't need to do it. Chutian only needs to issue orders, deal with some contradictions, and wait for the harvest next year. But his policies are tied to next year's output.

A simple wooden shed was built on the edge of the farmland, and the clerks who belonged to Tian Cao in Xiazhen sat in the wooden shed to take a nap.

Li Kui, who was in charge of Tian Cao, coughed twice, and the little official who was dozing saw the arrival of the boss and the lord, and quickly refreshed his spirit: "Sir."

Chu Tian glanced at the notice posted on the wooden shed, which read a few words - "farm tool rental".

Xiaozhu Village's Xia Liang is ingenious, and proposed that farmers who lack agricultural tools can apply to the lord's mansion to rent cattle and fine agricultural tools, at the cost of handing over more harvests to the lord's mansion next year. This is somewhat similar to overdraft consumption, but there were similar examples in ancient times. Farmers with farm tools can cultivate more farmland and can bear the share of overpayment next year. The government is not worried about these farmers escaping, because they have already taken root in the land under their feet.

Li Kui seriously asked his subordinates for their work: "Have all the cattle owned by the lord's mansion been rented out?"

The little official nodded quickly: "All the cattle have been rented. The most popular among the farmers are the cattle, followed by the columbine cart and the hoe..."

Chu Tian silently listened to Tian Cao's officials discussing these trivial matters. He has to learn from it himself.

The cattle in the lord's mansion come from war and trade. Sometimes they can get cattle by attacking other villages and bandits, or they can also buy cattle from some cities.

Farming cattle is the most important for farmers. The ancients said, "If there is a field without cattle, it is like a boat without a raft, and it cannot help."

The protection of cattle and horses in Xia Town is very strict. For those who sell and slaughter horses and cattle privately,

The first offense will be punished with a cane of 100, fined, and the second offense will be issued with mining.

In addition to renting farm tools, the lord's mansion also organized a group of special talents such as Xiaozhu and Xiaolu who have not yet worked to set up temporary tea stalls on farmland and construction sites to win people's hearts.

People's hearts have grown slowly because of these small measures.

Popularity and public security are also one of the conditions for upgrading a secondary town.

Chutian looked at the farmland in Xiazhen.

"Sir, it's time for tea."

Xiaolu, a dancer from Xiazhen, knew Chutian. At this time, she was helping out at a temporary tea stall near the farmland. Seeing that Chutian brought people to inspect, she took the initiative to invite Chutian and his party to come to the tea stall.

Special talents without jobs can receive temporary allowances from the lord's mansion every month, so Xiao Zhu, Xiao Lu and others are grateful to Chu Tian. Knowing the request of the lord's mansion, they also immediately came forward to help the lord's mansion win over people's hearts.

"When it is upgraded to a second-level town, I will build a concert hall in Xia Town, and then you can have jobs."

Chutian is more concerned about these special talents, because they can bring special bonuses to Xia Zhen.

Lefang belongs to cultural buildings. Cultural buildings are not optional, they can stabilize people's hearts, increase population, tax revenue and prosperity.

"Thank you sir."

Xiaozhu and Xiaolu looked at each other and were overjoyed. Working in the Lefang was the best way out for them, and the treatment was always better than working in a brothel. The band in "Lord" has been upgraded to the palace band, which represents the peak of music and dance in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chu Tian also has plans, if he recruits any historically talented women in the future, he will just plug them into the Palace Music Square. In short, every special hero in "Lord" has its own role, and it is definitely not a vase. Even Liu Chan and Hu Hai have their own characteristics.

Chutian has been staying in Xia Town recently, instructing the development of various vassal villages from afar.

As long as Xia Town is upgraded to a second-level town, then the vassal villages of Xia Town can be upgraded to a first-level town. For example, Xiaozhu Village has already met the upgrade conditions of a first-class town under the management of Liangxia.

The positioning of Yunlai Village is an agricultural village, and it is also developing into a first-class agricultural town.

Shangbi Village is a mining-type village that will soon be upgraded to a third-level village.

Every day, a large amount of stone and wood is transported to Xia Town, and buildings are erected or expanded on the original basis, and the prosperity is close to that of a second-level town.

The level of prosperity of the second-tier towns is very high. There are only a handful of lords who have second-tier towns in the entire Eastern Han District, and now there are not even ten second-tier towns.

There are rewards for hitting the second-tier towns, but the rewards are not rich. The best rewards are the rewards of the first city in the world, so Chutian is not in a hurry, and it is useless to worry.

What he wants to attack is the reward of the first city in the world.

Because the cavalry led by Hua Mulan was "notorious" in this area, no lord dared to invade Xia Town's sphere of influence. There are not many lords in the entire Langya Kingdom who dare to fight Xia Zhen head-on.

Some small villages and towns can join forces to compete against Xia Town, but the alliance between the lords is very complicated and each has his own thoughts. In the crusade against Dong Zhuo, only two or three princes dared to stand up.

Finally, in November, when the construction of the second-level navy camp, the third-level school farm, and the third-level pig farm was completed one after another, the people's hearts and public order were restored, and Xia Town met all the conditions for upgrading the second-level town.
