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

This is the caravan of Xiaozhu Village. It accepts Chutian's commission and goes around to collect supplies needed by Xia Village. Because of the commission provided by Chutian, the size of Xiaozhu Village's caravan has also grown, and now it has 30 horses.

.The horses used by caravans are still different from the war horses used by cavalry, and the prices are also cheaper.

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

The caravan leader got off the carriage and came to the Lord's Mansion to visit Chu Tian.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is your village chief?"

Chutian met with the caravan leader from Xiaozhu Village, who was also a businessman with special talents.

"Our village chief has recently been busy expanding the planting area of ​​mulberry trees and building textile workshops. She has also established a trade relationship with the silk shop in Langya City. From now on, Xiaozhu Village will provide a batch of raw silk or even silk to the silk shop every year."

The caravan leader took a sip of tea and mentioned the recent development of Xiaozhu Village.

Textile workshop? Silk?

Chutian quickly understood Xiao Zhucun's thoughts.

Silk, tea, and porcelain are famous specialties in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If different civilized areas are opened in the future, which lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty has more competitive products, merchants from other civilized areas will naturally find him to buy goods.

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

Players have various identities in reality, and they are proficient in different fields of knowledge, so it is not surprising that there are experts who can make nuclear bombs as lords. However, "Lords" has technological limitations, and items that exceed the settings will automatically be invalid.

Chu Tian thought far away, 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 wharf drawings. Later, we will get the wood and grain from

The surrounding villages will be purchased and our caravan will earn some hard-earned money."

Chutian accepted the two blueprints. In order to purchase the two blueprints, he paid a large amount of real money. The second-level shipyard blueprint costs 250 taels of silver and comes with two shipbuilding skill books to prevent the village from lacking shipbuilders and ships.

Craftsmen are rare among special talents, especially senior shipwrights who can build ships.

The second-level dock drawing costs 150 taels of silver and can accommodate many small ships, but it cannot accommodate medium and large warships, cargo ships, and sea-going ships.

Only Langya City has such drawings for sale.

"Thanks a lot."

Chutian's ultimate purpose in building these two buildings was to build a fourth-level fish market.

The fourth-level fish market can bring in a lot of tax revenue, and it is a relatively efficient building for Chutian who has to spend money everywhere. As the saying goes, you can eat mountains if you rely on the mountains, and you can eat water if you rely on the water. Xiacun is close to the Yi River, so it can fully utilize the Yi River.

freshwater fish resources and water transportation advantages.

"The villain is just trying to support his family. The village chief gave the villain a job, but the villain is very grateful. The villain will go and transport the wood."

The caravan leader only visited for half a stick of incense, and then went to collect supplies in a hurry.

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

Xiacun already has a first-level shipyard and a first-level wharf. With the second-level drawings, it only needs to be expanded on the original basis, and the materials required are less than rebuilding.

The secondary shipyard can build more types of ships. The types of ships that can be built now include small plank ships, scout ships, small fishing boats, and small cargo ships.

Small wooden boat: a civilian paddle boat, suitable for water travel, and can also be used for fishing, transporting goods or fighting, but its load capacity is limited and it has almost no defensive effect.

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

Small cargo ship: Civilian transport ship, cargo ship with a net load of less than 10 tons, which can be used to transport food and other materials.

The first three types of ships are civilian ships. The so-called civilian ships mean that villagers can place orders with shipyards and let the shipyards produce small wooden boats, small fishing boats, and cargo ships. As long as the shipyard does not have warships under construction, villagers will usually pick them up.

orders and earn income.

As for the scout ships that appear in the secondary shipyards, they already fall into the category of military ships.

The name of the so-called scout ship comes from ancient records, that is, a small boat used to perform reconnaissance and patrol missions, also called a scout ship.

[Name]: Scout ship (spot ship)

[Level]: Second-level ship

[Length]: 11.4 meters

[Width]: 2.43 meters

[Cost]: 10 taels of silver

[Configuration]: single mast, 1 oar and 8 oars, no parapet

[Evaluation]: A flexible and fast boat, lacking offensive and defensive means, suitable for reconnaissance, patrol, challenge, setting up suspects, and ambush.

"After the secondary shipyard is completed, build a sentinel ship."

Chutian is not yet able to support a powerful navy. Just one scout ship requires eight sailors.

The combat capability of a scout ship is better than nothing. For a rowing boat, in order to ensure speed, the number of sailors is generally greater than the number of soldiers. This means that a scout ship may not be able to accommodate many soldiers except sailors.

A scout ship was built because Xia Village is close to the Yi River and a scout ship is needed to search nearby waters. In "Lord", the Yi River with a drainage area of ​​170,000 square kilometers is a big river, and some free players are exploring this world.

At that time, it was discovered that there were water villages on some large rivers, so Chutian 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 lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty, water battles on the Yangtze River are important, but most lords focus on land. But for lords in certain civilized areas

Specifically, they will focus on naval battles, such as the Viking area, the Venetian merchant area, and the Holy See area.

Chu Tian has already consciously trained sailors.

If different civilization zones are opened, we will have to rely on naval forces to conquer other civilizations in the future.

It would take time to complete the secondary shipyard, so Chu Tian found two carpenters and gave them shipwright skill books to study, and asked them to change their profession to become shipwrights.

At the same time, he ordered the recruitment of eight civilians who knew water and turned them into sailors.

So Xia Cun had the first navy with eight sailors with a combat effectiveness of only 5.

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

Chutian calculated that the actual distance between Langya City and Jiaozhou Bay is about 250 kilometers. The area of ​​"Lord" is expanded by 10 times. If the curved surface of the three-dimensional space is ignored, it is equivalent to extending the side length 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 1100 kilometers.

"Too far."

Chu Tian shook his head, not thinking about things that were too far away. Now Xia Cun didn't even have the ability to build warships. The real warships were not scout ships, but walking ships, stern ships, fighting ships, building ships and other ships.
