The system population limit has been increased to 2,000 people, and a relatively detailed explanation has been given.

Among these two thousand people, the upper limit of farmers in the system is 500, which means that Shen Mo could not summon more than 500 farmers at most during the colonial era.

Shen Mo can understand that there is an upper limit on the number of farmers in the original game.

In addition, the summoning channel for the militia has disappeared.

In other words, Shen Mo has no chance of summoning militiamen like Tieniu and others.

The maximum call limit for militiamen is thirty, and he had already used up all of them before.

As the territory continues to expand, I originally wanted to recruit more militiamen to serve as management talents for myself, but now it seems that this idea is going to come to nothing.

However, if you think about it, you can understand that the militiamen are not conventional arms, they are only used to help you open up the situation at the beginning.

It is already a great blessing to have thirty partners from the same time and space as him, and they are all from the disciplined forces, and he is a great blessing. If he is not satisfied, then he is really a waste.

As long as the population limit of two thousand people is reached at the current stage, although it does not feel like a lot, if the military units are properly matched, it will still be enough at this stage.

Soldiers are more valuable than more. Even if there are only more than a thousand system soldiers, Shen Mo is confident that he can deal with all kinds of storms in the future.

As long as you don't commit suicide or become confused, that's more than enough.

After carefully checking the descriptions of each unit, Shen Mo discovered some things that were different from those in the original game.

The first place is that in the original Empire 3 game, all infantry were trained in military camps, cavalry were trained in stables, and grenadiers and artillery were trained in gun foundries.

.

When these soldiers came out, they were packed together with their equipment.

But now in reality, the situation is different.

The three cold weapon types of spearmen, crossbowmen and light cavalry are all packed with equipment.

The cost of summoning a spearman is five taels of silver per person, wearing leather armor. The main weapon is a standard spear, and the secondary weapon is a short knife. They are used to fight and defend themselves when the enemy is close. The minimum summoned unit is fifty people.

The crossbowman can choose an archer or a crossbowman. The summoning price is ten taels of silver per person. He wears leather armor. The main weapon is a walking bow or a light crossbow, a pot of arrows (thirty pieces), and a short sword.

Shank, the same, the minimum summoned unit is fifty people.

The summoning cost of light cavalry is fifty taels of silver per person. They wear leather armor. Their main weapons are a saber and a dagger. The minimum summoned unit is ten people.

As for the war horses, Shen Mo needs to spend money to purchase the equipment from the stables separately.

The price of an adult male horse in the stable is one hundred taels of silver, and the price of a female horse is one hundred and fifty taels of silver. The price of a young horse is much cheaper, only fifty taels of silver per horse.

The draft horses used to pull carts were even cheaper, costing only twenty taels of silver each.

Without horses, light cavalry could only be used as infantry.

As for the two types of firearms soldiers, the musketeers and the grenadiers, the main weapons, muskets and small bombs, all require Shen Mo to spend separate money to purchase the equipment from the gun foundry.

The price for summoning a musketeer is five taels of silver per person, without armor and with a short sword. The minimum summoning unit is fifty people.

The main weapon equipped is a flintlock gun, which is a front-loading smoothbore gun with an effective range of no more than one hundred meters. It costs twenty taels of silver each and is equipped with a base number of ammunition (120 rounds).

The summoning price of a grenadier is ten taels of silver per person. They are equipped with leather armor and a short sword as a secondary weapon. They are all tall and powerful warriors. The minimum summoned unit is twenty people.

The main weapon they are equipped with, small bombs, must be purchased separately from the gun foundry, and the price is one hundred taels of silver.

However, the artillery that Shen Mo had longed for did not light up after this upgrade, and the icon was still gray. According to the system instructions, the two types of artillery, the Eagle Cannon and the Long Heavy Cannon, must be upgraded to the Fortress Era.

Light mortars, which are more suitable for accompanying infantry, and rocket launchers, which are suitable for large-scale fire coverage, can only be unlocked after entering the Imperial Age.

Of course, the mortars and rocket launchers here are not the artillery that everyone is familiar with in later generations, such as rocket launchers such as Katyusha pipe organ, but a more primitive one, with excellent launch humidity, range, accuracy and power.

A completely different large firearm.

It's not very effective for killing enemies, but it might be more suitable for setting fires.

After the upgrade, the system provides a construction drawing for each of these newly lit functional buildings.

As long as the construction is carried out in accordance with this drawing, and it meets the system requirements after completion, it will be recognized by the system, and then the corresponding functions will be loaded and activated.

There is currently no condition to build a wharf. After all, Hunan is mountainous. Although there are several large rivers such as the Xiangjiang River, they are far away from here and are not in use yet.

Shen Mo has now made Yangcun his permanent office, and this should be the center for quite some time in the future.

The function of the town center had already been unloaded from Li's residence in Gucun and uploaded to Yang's residence. The brand of Yang's residence was also changed to that of the general town office.

I took out a few drawings from my system space and looked at them for a while. I found that the drawings were not complicated, and the main building material was just wood.

The only thing is that the area requirements of these buildings are relatively large.

However, the Yang family owned a lot of land, and after allocating it to the villagers, there was still a lot left over, which was all classified as public land.

It is more than enough to plan some land from these public fields and build barracks, stables and gun foundries together.

By then, both logistics and guarding will be much more convenient.

However, in addition to requiring a large number of craftsmen, building these materials also requires a large amount of wood.

Shen Mo pondered for a while and decided to summon another two hundred system farmers to work as craftsmen. As for the wood, the farmers' association could mobilize people from three villages to cut wood from the surrounding mountains.

Winter is the slack time for farming. As long as they take care of food or exchange food for wood, these villagers will definitely participate enthusiastically.

Hunan is full of mountains, and there may not be much else, but there is absolutely no shortage of wood.

After making up his mind, Shen Mo quickly operated on the system and summoned two hundred system farmers.

One day later, all these two hundred system farmers were in place.

Shen Mo discovered an interesting pattern, that is, out of every fifty farmers, one leader would appear on his own initiative.

It feels like a machine gun bullet chain, with a tracer bullet mixed in every other section.

Shen Mo called the four leaders over, handed them the drawings, and asked them to take the drawings to survey the terrain, and then calculate the approximate total amount of wood needed.

Then, Shen Mo asked Li Zhiyuan to mobilize the village offices and farmers' associations of the three villages to mobilize the people of the three villages to come to Yang Village to cut trees.

Although I don't get any money, I do take care of the food, and I get rewards for good performance.

Because the construction site is in Yangcun, the people of Yangcun must be the main focus.

However, the villagers in Jiaojiazhuang and Gucun responded positively when they learned about it. Although the road was a little far away, it still couldn't stop their enthusiasm for work.

Wood is everywhere. With a little effort, you can save some food for your family and have enough to eat every meal. Of course, you can't miss such a good thing.
