"Here, here are the one hundred taels of gold you want, and some are silver taels."

Two villagers from Xiaozhu Village carried a wooden box over. The wooden box was opened. Inside was Chutian's favorite gold and silver, worth a total of one hundred taels of gold.

In "The Lord", in order to prevent the Lord from doing the cumbersome conversions in ancient times, one tael = 50 grams.

One hundred taels of gold is 5 kilograms. If converted into one thousand taels of silver, it is 50 kilograms, equivalent to the weight of a bag of rice.

"It only took half a day, where did you get one hundred taels of gold?"

"It's very simple. We have a bank in Xiaozhu Village, and I misappropriated the villagers' deposits privately. The reason why I asked you for interest is because the bank will pay interest to the villagers after one year. If the principal and interest cannot be repaid after one year, Xiaozhu

Building a village may lead to riots."

"I see……"

Chu Tian was relieved, no wonder Xiao Zhucun could come up with a hundred taels of gold at once.

If one villager contributes one tael of silver, 1,000 villagers will have one thousand taels of silver. This is the power of financing.

"Of course, 10 taels of gold are my personal investment. The interest rate of 10% a year is quite cost-effective."

This guy completely regards cooperation between villages as a business.

Borrowing money is secondary. The main purpose this time is to turn Xiaozhu Village into a vassal village as soon as possible after upgrading the town.

The prosperity of vassal villages also counts towards the town.

"With this hundred gold, Xia Village can be upgraded to a first-level town at any time. A first-level town has four vassal villages. Once Xiaozhu Village is merged with Xia Town, your status as a lord will disappear. As compensation,

You can put forward any conditions. If the conditions are appropriate, I will agree."

Chutian went straight to the point.

The other party is a financially minded person, not a vase, so there is no need to beat around the bush.

"It's very simple. After losing my status as a lord, I need a job, and the salary cannot be less than ten taels of silver per month."

"It's that simple?"

"Um."

Xia Liang used retreat to advance, but instead made Chu Tian owe a favor.

To obtain a large village with a population of more than a thousand and buildings that are not available in Xia Village, you only need to pay ten taels of silver every month, and you can earn it with your blood.

"Before the town's direct jurisdiction is expanded to Xiaozhu Village, how about you still serve as the village chief of Xiaozhu Village and take care of the town's market at the same time?"

Chutian had Li Kui as the agricultural official, but it still lacked an official to manage the market and trade.

"Village chief and mayor have two jobs, and their salaries must be calculated as two."

Xia Liang said very seriously.

"no problem."

Chu Tian agreed.

Finally, someone is helping to manage the market, and Chu Tian can be the hands-off shopkeeper again.

As long as the lord knows a little bit about everything and how to operate it, the officials below will try their best to do everything for the lord. After all, their political performance is linked to their salary.

Chu Tian was interested in what Xia Liang had learned: "What do you do in reality?"

"student."

"Which university?"

"Capital University Business School."

"..."

When "Lord" was born, the country in the Eastern Han Dynasty was already the world's most powerful country in reality, and Capital University was the world's most prestigious school. It is not surprising that students who graduated from the Capital University Business School have economic acumen.

"It's better to upgrade to the town as soon as possible. In the past few days, dozens of lords in Donghan District have upgraded their villages. After you upgrade to the town, you can see the specific situation of Xiaozhu Village."

The coolness of summer urges Chu Tian.

"good."

Chu Tian received a hundred taels of gold support, and with the confidence, he took Xia Liang to the core of Xia Village.

Soon Xiacun will transition from a third-level village to a town.

The difference between a town and a village is that a town can have vassal villages. The higher the level, the more villages the town can control.

If you reach the city level, you can control towns and villages within a certain range without limiting the number, and your influence will be greater.

"Upgrade Summer Village to Summer Town."

Chutian followed closely behind the first echelon.

The ground in Xia Village shook violently, and the territory under direct jurisdiction expanded violently to the periphery!

The Lord's Mansion has also undergone earth-shaking changes, turning into a four-entry courtyard with red bricks and green tiles, and is now a deep residence.

Xia Liang and Xia Village officials in the Lord's Mansion watched the miracle happen in surprise.

The lord's mansion at the town level has finally become grand, and it is completely different from ordinary private houses.

The Lord's Monument has become stronger, and it will take a lot of time to destroy the Monument.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for becoming the 52nd lord with a first-level town in Donghan District. You will be rewarded with a gold-level recruitment order."

"Ding! After judgment, player, the development direction of your town is a military town, and you will receive a special building, the second-level arsenal, and the third-level archery camp."

"Ding! The achievement system's "Heroes of Troubled Times" series of achievements are now open."

"The B-level achievement 'Head of a County' is activated. If you control a county within two years, you will receive special rewards."

"The A-level achievement 'Prefect of a County' is activated. If you control a county (country) within five years, you will receive special rewards."

"The S-level achievement 'A Prince' is unlocked. If you control a state within ten years, you will receive special rewards."

"The SS-level achievement 'Three-Point World' is opened. Control the four states within twenty years and you will receive special rewards."

"The SSS-level achievement 'Unify the Thirteen States' is activated. Unify the Eastern Han District. There is no time limit and special rewards can be obtained."

Xia Cun was upgraded to a first-level town. Before Chutian had time to carefully check the attributes of the first-level town, a series of achievement tasks started.

These achievement tasks are extremely difficult.

The simplest achievement is "head of a county".

A county in Donghan District is not small at all.

The Xuzhou Governor's Department has jurisdiction over five counties, namely Donghai County, Guangling County, Xiapi Kingdom, Langye Kingdom, and Pengcheng Kingdom.

Among them, Langya State has thirteen counties.

What is this concept? The area of ​​a county in "Lord" ranges from a few thousand square kilometers to tens of thousands of square kilometers, and even a county of one hundred thousand square kilometers.

It has to be said that Donghan District is really too big. The territory of Donghan District is 25 times that of Dongying District, 33 times that of Annan District, and 44 times that of Goryeo District.

Just one big state can compete with a civilized area.

In any case, this achievement series of tasks is too difficult.

Not to mention that occupying a county in Xuzhou would offend Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, especially Zang Ba, who controlled Langya Kingdom.

Achievement tasks are obviously much more difficult than other tasks.

It is said that in one year's time, in addition to opening the borders of the civilized zone, the various princes of the Three Kingdoms will also become officially active.

Now each prince will regard the player lords within his own sphere of influence as his own by default, but this will not necessarily be the case one year later.

Fortunately, Xuzhou where Chutian is located, those lords within the sphere of influence of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian will have hell-level difficulty.
Chapter completed!
