Although water bandits have appeared near Xiacun, exterminating them is not a top priority.

The construction of the second-level shipyard and the second-level wharf were completed, and a large amount of wood and other materials were gradually shipped, so Chutian used the fourth-level fish market blueprint dropped by the Yellow Turban general Zhang Kai to add a landmark economic building to Xia Village.

The fourth-level fish market is a building that only exists at the town level. If Xia Village has a fourth-level fish market, freshwater fish can be regarded as a specialty, attracting residents from surrounding villages and towns to come to Xia Village to buy and sell freshwater fish, thereby promoting other activities in the village.

Commodity circulation.

The wheat harvest time near Yihe River is at the end of June, and the sowing time is at the beginning of October. There is a period of time in between where a lot of labor can be mobilized.

Chutian took advantage of the busy farming season to build as many buildings as possible to increase the prosperity of Xia Village and prepare for upgrading to a first-level town.

Villages are divided into three levels, market towns are also divided into three levels, and above that are small cities.

The conditions for a third-level village to be upgraded to a market town are more stringent than before, among which there are three most important conditions:

First, the population is greater than 2,000.

Second, the prosperity level is greater than 500.

Third, the expansion fee of 100 gold.

Population is the basis of a territory, and prosperity measures the overall strength of a territory. As for the cost of 100 gold, it is the cost of expanding the area directly under the jurisdiction of the territory.

The population of Xiacun is approaching the 2,000 mark, so it is not difficult to meet the first condition.

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

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

The Lord's Mansion pays monthly salaries to the officials, infantry, and cavalry in Xia Village. An elite infantry's monthly salary is 1.5 taels of silver, and a light cavalry's salary is 2 taels of silver. There are 30 light cavalry in Xia Village and 70

For elite infantry, the total monthly salary expenditure of the army alone is as much as 165 taels of silver.

This does not include the salaries paid to Hua Mulan, Wu Shang, and Zhao Qi.

Officials in Xia Cun also received a monthly salary of one hundred taels of silver.

To put it bluntly, Xia Cun's income is completely beyond its means. The reason why Xia Cun can still operate normally is because of the trophies captured by Chu Tian from the Yellow Turban Army and the 200 taels of gold obtained from the last event.

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

You have to find a way to get 100 gold.

Chutian somewhat understood why Xiaozhu Village gave up its military camp and devoted all its efforts to developing the economy. The village warriors in Xiaozhu Village did not need to pay salaries and could 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, Chu Tian asked the lord's mansion to post notices to encourage some villagers to engage in fishing and fish pond farming.

The occupations of villagers are not fixed and may change depending on the village's architecture, policies, and regional location. For example, farmers may become fishermen or carpenters.

After the notice was posted, a dozen villagers soon became interested in becoming fishermen, and one villager spent their life savings to buy a small fishing boat from a secondary shipyard.

The initial area of ​​the fourth-level fish market is 10,000 square meters, which can be expanded into a large market covering an area of ​​20,000 square meters, enough to accommodate hundreds of stalls.

For Xia Village, which has only a few dozen fishermen households, the area of ​​the fourth-level fish market is very large. The fourth-level fish market is not a building owned by a village, and it took ten days to build.

While waiting for the completion of the fourth-level fish market, the construction of Xiacun's first military ship, the sentry boat, was completed.

"Lord" is different from the real world. The speed of construction and training is faster. If we follow the real development speed, if we want to reach the glory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, we will need decades of accumulation during the Wenjing Dynasty.

Chutian immediately arranged for eight sailors to use the sentry ship for training.

"There is still a lack of blueprints for the naval camp."

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

The navy is different from the infantry. The infantry can also use sentry ships to fight on the water, but the attributes will be greatly reduced, and the seasick infantry will directly lose combat effectiveness, just like Cao Cao's majestic northern soldiers were defeated by the Soochow Navy in Chibi.

.

Money is still needed in other places, especially the upgrade from a third-level village to a first-level town requires 100 gold. Chutian gave up the idea of ​​buying the navy camp blueprint for the time being.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Lord of Youzhou in the Eastern Han District, the 'Little Soldier at the Border in the Late Ming Dynasty' for upgrading his territory to the world's first first-class town, Liaodong Town, and will be rewarded with a diamond-level recruitment order!"

The sudden system prompt made Chu Tian confused. A village was upgraded to a first-level town so quickly?!

"A small soldier at the border gate in the late Ming Dynasty. Isn't this our second-ranked player in the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

Chutian opened the rankings, and the territorial prosperity of the Border Guardsman at the end of the Ming Dynasty topped the list with 502, surpassing Jiujiao Lao Qin who originally ranked first.

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

Players throughout the Eastern Han District were shocked. The leader in territorial prosperity in the Eastern Han District was the lord "Jiujiao Lao Qin" from the Guanzhong area. As a result, during the event, a lord from the Xuzhou District "I just want to farm well" took the top spot and is now No. 1 in the world.

In the first town, another lord from Youzhou District ran out, "a small soldier at the border in the late Ming Dynasty".

Players in other civilized areas were deeply shocked when they learned that the world's first town appeared in the Donghan District.

The loudest voice for attacking the world's first town should be the lord of the Holy See District, "God will bless you."

As a result, the honor of the No. 1 town in the world was snatched away by the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

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

"The Eastern Han Dynasty is really powerful. After entering the city-state era, their internal fighting will be very fierce."

"The Dongying District, Goryeo District, Annan District and Indian District surrounding Donghan District will be in bad luck in the future."

The players in the Holy See District expressed their feelings one after another.

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

The light cavalry wielded their sabers and charged into the tribe. A dozen herdsmen who tried to resist fell under the sabers, their blood staining the saber grooves red. The remaining herdsmen became prisoners.

The lord was riding a war horse, looking at these humble captives indifferently, and said to a guild leader: "All the laborers are incorporated into my town, and I will attack the second-level town with all my strength. The other spoils will be divided among you. As long as your guild helps me

As a reward for attacking the world's largest city, I will give you the rewards that the Yanqi Guild wants in the future."

The president of the Yanqi Guild carried a gold-level longbow: "You attack the first lord, and I will attack the first guild. Happy cooperation."
