It's useless to have good luck, there is still strength. The gold mine has virtue (strength) and lives in it.

At least that's what Chu Tian thinks.

The village chief of Shangbi Village was the first to discover the gold mine and could not hold it, and it was later occupied by horse thieves, and now it has fallen into the hands of Chu Tian.

After determining that there was a gold mine in Shangbi Village, Chu Tian led the soldiers into Shangbi Village.

"Thank you for saving us!"

The villagers of Shangbi Village greeted each other with food, and Chutian, who came for the gold mine, did save this group of villagers in a certain sense.

"When I heard that Shangbi Village was occupied by horse thieves, I felt the same and couldn't sleep well, so I came to rescue you non-stop. Folks, all the folks, it's better than everything if it's okay. ”

Chu Tian cheekily comforted the villagers and moved the villagers even more.

The horse thieves did not destroy the stone monument in Shangbi Village, presumably because they wanted to use the villagers to mine.

Chu Tian chose to occupy Shangbi Village and turn this second-level village into a vassal village of Xia Town.

It only takes two hours to occupy the second-level village, and Chu Tian can already see the information of Shangbi Village.

[Territory]: Shangbi Village (Level 2 Village)

[Lord]: Chutian (fourth class not changed)

[Affiliation]: Xia Zhen

[Specialty]: inferior gold ore (grade B), hawthorn (grade D specialty)

[Population]: 517/1000

[People's Heart]: 90

[Public security]: 55

[Facilities]: Level 3 Mining Farm, Class 2 Blacksmith Shop, Township Yong Camp, Thatched Cottage Private School......

A very ordinary second-level village, because Chu Tian rescued the village from the horse thief, the people's hearts turned out to be 90. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that there will be an uprising above 80 people's will, and there will be some positive effects above 90, such as donating money and food, and responding to policies.

Chu Tian looked at the talents in Shangbi Village, and there was actually a silver-level internal affairs talent, Elder Zhang, with a political attribute of 47, which was barely useful.

Chutian directly appointed him as the temporary village head, let him supervise the villagers' mining, and in the future, he only needed to send the drawings to the village chief to build. Every month, Shangbi Village has to transport the mined gold and taxes collected to Xia Town.

"Wu Shang, I will leave 2 cavalry and 50 elite infantry for you, and guard Shangbi Village with Elder Zhang. There must be no clashes with the surrounding villages without orders. In normal times, you improve law and order, if there is an enemy attack, close the village gate and hold on, and send cavalry to Xia Town to report the emergency. ”

"Yes!"

Chutian arranged for the silver-level ranger Wu Shang to serve as the garrison general of Shangbi Village, and there was a shortage of talents. It may be that Wen has Li Kui and Wu has Mulan, and he has seen too many heroes with more than 80 attributes, and at this time, he will look at the next batch of gold-level and silver-level generals, and it will suddenly be unfragrant.

In fact, most village chiefs still use silver-level or even bronze-level generals and civil servants. There are very few gold-level generals.

Chutian arranged for a group of villagers in Shangbi Village to be transferred to miners. Shangbi Village's main source of income comes from the mining farm, and as long as it produces its own food, it is sufficient, after all, there is a shortage of labor. In order to mine gold, agriculture can only be sacrificed slightly.

The quota of vassal villages in Xia Town, Chu Tian used it very carefully. Xiaozhu Village is a trade-type village, and Shangbi Village is a mineral-type village, in short, they are all for the purpose of collecting money and assisting Xia Town.

……

"Ding! Player, your territory 'Shangbi Village' is occupied by other lords, and you lose your lordship status, please choose a new growth direction. ”

"Commander direction."

In Langya City, the head of Shangbi Village, who had fled, received a prompt from the system and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He came to the courtyard bought by a player guild in the city, which was filled with free players coming in and out, and in the middle of the large courtyard there was a plaque - "Lingyan Pavilion".

There are at least hundreds of player guilds in Langya City.

"I'm looking for the president, I have important information."

"The village of the president was upgraded today to a first-class town, and he is in his own territory. What information do you have? ”

"I know where there is gold."

"Gold Mine!"

Several freelancers in charge of managing the guild have fanatical eyes.

Everyone is trapped in the world of "Lords", and the Earth Coin is a piece of waste paper, and gold, silver, and copper are extremely important.

"How many levels of gold mines?"

"Level three."

"Someone, prepare the horses! I'll take you to the president's Lingyan Town, and the president will definitely be interested in the third-level gold mine! ”

……

Lingyan Town, 30 kilometers southwest of Langya City, is a first-class town, and the lord "Tang Li Er" can be ranked in the top 100 in Xuzhou District, one of the few towns in Langya Country.

"President, the village chief of Shangbi Village reports that a third-level gold mine is less than 40 kilometers away from you."

"Bring him to me."

"We're on our way to your town."

"Got it."

Datang Li Er received the report from the guild members, and his eyes also showed a desire for gold mines: "I have a second-level pasture and a second-level cavalry battalion here, it's not that I don't have the ability to train cavalry, but I can't afford to raise war horses." Fifty war horses cost at least a hundred gold, and the cost of raising horses is a huge expense every month. If I take a third-level gold mine, I will have the funds to recruit hundreds of cavalry and become the most powerful town in Langya Kingdom! ”

Under the order of Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, fifty Xiangyong entered the cavalry battalion of Lingyan Town for training. All fifty cavalrymen were trained as light cavalry.

……

Unbeknownst to Chu Tian, this third-level gold mine was coveted by other lords, and after capturing Shangbi Village, he returned to Xia Town and continued to expand his army, using the captured war horses to train 12 light cavalry and 59 elite infantry.

According to the current establishment, Xia Zhen has 40 light cavalry, 50 Xuzhou archers, 120 elite infantry, and military generals include Hua Mulan, Liu Sandao, and Zhao Qi. Shangbi Village has 2 light cavalry and 50 elite infantry, and the defender will be Wu Shang. Xiaozhu Village is too close to Xia Town, there is no standing army, and only a few villagers are brave to maintain law and order.

There are also two vassals in Summertown.

The vassal villages are very important, they will hand over money every month, and they will hand over food to Xia Zhen every year, and Xia Zhen will have more financial income and can feed more soldiers.

The output of the gold mine is unknown, Chutian arranged 150 laborers to mine the gold mine in Shangbi Village, and after a month of mining, it is probably known how much output will be produced by 150 laborers in the third-level gold mine.

The population of Xia Town continued to increase, and the fourth-level fish market gradually became prosperous because of the caravans entrusted by the city Cao Xia Liang to promote it in various places, and hundreds of residents traded in the fish market every day.

Li Kui, a farmer, led the townspeople to reclaim a new piece of farmland outside the town in preparation for planting in October.

At the end of August, the Xuzhou archers finally finished training!

A team of Xuzhou archers stood in five rows on the school grounds, wearing leather armor, holding a bow in their right hand and carrying a quiver on their backs. A quiver carries 20 to 30 arrows, which costs about one tael of silver.

Cultivating an elite team of archers is also quite expensive.

"There is a third-level village near the water village, if you can occupy that third-level village, you can control the water village, and set up a water division camp in the water village in the future."

Chu Tian hadn't forgotten that Xia Village had a powerful sailor with eight sailors. You still have to have a dream, what if you can drink the Yangtze River in the future?
