"Village chief, a group of cavalry is coming. Run away quickly!"

People in a second-level village were in panic. Xia Town's light cavalry had forcibly breached the village gate, and the silver-level generals fell under the opponent's sword.

The Xia Town light cavalry drove directly to the lord's mansion of the second-level village, but the village chief of the other side had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

Hua Mulan dismounted and led the soldiers to destroy the stone monument in the second-level village.

The destruction of the stone monument means that the village will soon be deserted.

"Drive the entire population back to Summertown."

Hua Mulan led the cavalry and drove hundreds of villagers from the village to Xia Town.

The upgrade of Xia Town requires population, and Hua Mulan's mission is to plunder people everywhere and quickly increase the population of Xia Town.

In the past, lacking troops, Chutian could only slowly wait for the refugees to flow into the village. After reaching the town level, the default game rules have changed. It is obviously much faster to plunder the surrounding population than to passively wait for the refugees to appear.

Not only the Eastern Han Dynasty, the big lords in other civilized areas also devoured the surrounding small lords.

The weak eat the strong, the only law of "Lord".

The village chief, who escaped from the village by climbing over the wooden fence, was disheveled and looked at the cavalry who suddenly entered the village and looted all the people, leaving the gold and silver.

"The village that I finally developed was destroyed. Who are these cavalry?"

The village chief couldn't help but tremble when he thought that his hero was killed by the opponent's hero in just a few moves.

The other side obviously showed no mercy and had a very clear purpose of destroying villages and plundering the population.

Ordinary horse thieves would not take away the villagers, so there is only one explanation. There is a big lord behind Hua Mulan who is controlling everything.

Xia Town is only fifty kilometers away from Langya City, and the looted villages are also near Langya City.

So the legend of a cold and ruthless female butcher spread in Langya City.

It is said that this female butcher led a group of ferocious cavalry to the south of Langya City and destroyed eighty-one villages. Free players in Langya City did not dare to venture south of Langya City.

In fact, Hua Mulan did not destroy 81 villages, because there were not that many villages around Xia Town. Hua Mulan destroyed eight villages, capturing a total of 916 households and 4,713 people, and moved the populations of the eight villages to Xia Town.

The population that could not be accommodated in Xia Town moved to Yunlai Village, Xiaozhu Village, and Shangbi Village.

The 4,000 population requirement required for Xia Town to be upgraded to a second-level town will soon be reached.

"Hua Mulan is really capable."

Chu Tian just gave the order to Hua Mulan, and Hua Mulan completed the task neatly.

Once the population conditions are met, there are also prosperity requirements.

The prosperity is divided into the overall prosperity of the territory. A first-level town plus four vassal villages requires 3000 prosperity. There is also the prosperity of the town itself, which requires 1200 prosperity.

There are many ways to increase prosperity. An increase in population can obviously increase prosperity. In addition, it is to develop the economy and build as many buildings as possible or improve the level of buildings in the town.

Chutian took out the gold and silver plundered from Lingyan Town and eight villages, purchased all the architectural drawings and resources, and started construction in Xia Town.

In order to personally supervise the large-scale construction projects in Xia Town, Chu Tian asked Liu Sandao to lead a small team to suppress Lingyan Town, and then he took the prisoners back to Xia Town and placed the prisoners under house arrest.

The large-scale construction projects are not only to increase prosperity, but also to increase the employment rate of Xia Town residents. The population of Xia Town suddenly increased from more than 2,000 to 5,000. Elder Li was in a hurry just to resettle the new residents, let alone solve these problems.

Employment issues of townspeople.

In the past, Xia Town increased its population by absorbing small-scale refugees. The number of new residents was not large, so it could easily arrange residence and work for them. But now the population of Xia Town has suddenly doubled, which means that the number of residential buildings has doubled.

, jobs.

Plundering the population also has a negative effect on people's hearts, and public security has dropped significantly.

These new townspeople were displaced because Hua Mulan led the cavalry to destroy their villages. Naturally, they have objections to integrating into the large collective of Xia Town. Imagine that you were living a good life, but a team of cavalry forcibly moved you to

In a new place, you have to start over from scratch, and you will naturally be unhappy.

Xia Town's public sentiment dropped to 55, and the public security dropped to 51, which means that an uprising may occur at any time.

The reason why there is no riot yet is probably because they are afraid of Hua Mulan's force, Xia Town's military power, and the supervision of the original townspeople.

However, if Xia Town is surrounded by enemies, Chu Tian believes that there is a 90% chance that these new townspeople will revolt.

The way to improve public sentiment is also very simple. First, provide accommodation and jobs, secondly implement policies that are conducive to restoring public sentiment, and finally rely on time to slowly recover. After all, most people heal their scars and forget about the pain.

The trading firm in Xiaozhu Village has set up a branch in Xia Town to increase the prosperity of Xia Town. Chutian can directly go to the trading bank and entrust them to purchase architectural drawings from Langya City.

He upgraded resource bonus buildings such as farmland, mines, quarries, and lumberyards to level three, and then upgraded economic buildings such as celadon factories, orchards, pig farms, chicken farms, and fish ponds, as well as arsenals to level three.

There are several military buildings such as the school ground (gained by adding soldier training experience), the third-level infantry battalion, the second-level naval battalion, and finally, cultural buildings such as private schools and earth temples...

The entire Xia Town has turned into a large construction site.

Hundreds of houses, dozens of large buildings, and carpenters, masons, and homeless people are everywhere.

Li Kui, the only interior minister, has been very busy recently, busy distributing newly reclaimed land to new townspeople.

The "land to the tiller" policy played a great role in restoring public sentiment, which rose from 55 to 61.

When large-scale construction work was carried out in Xia Town, it happened to be the busy season for sowing in early October. Farmers involved in the large-scale construction work were forced to leave the construction site and return to the farmland to sow seeds.

Chu Tian was overwhelmed and had too many things to do. Control Lingyan Town, upgrade buildings, build new buildings, urge farmers to sow, and manage vassal villages...

Vassal villages also face the problem of declining public support due to the influx of people.

If it is not handled well, the villagers of the vassal village will hold the village chief hostage and shout that the prince will live in harmony.

These are internal affairs construction. In order to prepare for the first epic battle, Chutian also needs to consider troop training.

Recruiting soldiers and training soldiers are two different concepts.

The initial level of recruited soldiers is level 10, and they can be trained up to level 100. This is the difference between new recruits and experienced soldiers.

Chu Tian came to Hua Mulan's residence next door, and there was the sound of scooping water. When Hua Mulan came out, her long hair was wet, and she had obviously just taken a shower.

When she saw Chu Tian arriving, she quickly wiped her long hair with a towel, looking a little flustered: "Master, if you have something to do, just ask someone to call me over."
