Returning to the village with the hunting team, Chu Tian found that the people's hearts had increased by 1 point, reaching 76. Presumably, it was the hunting party that provided the village with meat, and the villagers' satisfaction increased.

In the middle of Chutian's hunting, more than a dozen homeless people appeared near the village, and the number of villagers in the village reached 163, including 61 Xiangyong.

The source of income for the village is taxes, which are currently 20 per cent and are paid for grain or copper.

The initial grain production of Xia Village is 200 units per year, which can provide food rations for 200 people for a year. The 20% tax rate is to hand over 40 units of grain to the lord.

These 40 units of grain are resources that Chu Tian, as a lord, can dispose of. This amount of food can only feed 40 soldiers.

Fortunately, the Xiangyong did not need to be paid for by the lord for food and money, otherwise Chu Tian would not even be able to support the current Xiangyong troops.

Thanks to the addition of displaced people, the village's idle farmland has been utilized and production has increased.

There are many more attributes that affect agriculture, and there are specialized agricultural panels.

[Territory]: Summer Village

[Used farmland]: 60

[Idle farmland]: 40

[Basic unit yield]: 10 (affected by geographical location, seed quality, crop type)

[Production efficiency]: 10/100

[Water control]: 70/100 (affected by climate, rivers and water conservancy projects)

[Soil Fertility]: 70/100 (Each round of harvest will reduce fertility, which can be improved by fertilizing and fallowing)

[Disaster]: None

[Harvest]: None

[Annual output]: 70×10× (1+0.1)×0.6×0.70=323.4

[Annual Tax]: 64.68

Seeing that there was still idle farmland in the village, Chu Tian was a little surprised. When the vacant farmland is full, Xia Village has to try to cultivate new farmland.

There is no shortage of plains in the area of the Yihe River, and there are rivers passing through it, and the water and soil are excellent, so it is not difficult to reclaim new farmland.

"Only 65 units of grain are levied in a year, which means that you can only feed 65 professional soldiers, right...... And to feed myself and Mulan......"

Chu Tiancai found that he and Hua Mulan did not produce food, Hua Mulan is a professional general, not a half-civilian and half-soldier village warrior, Chu Tian is the lord, how can the lord personally go to the field to farm...... Yes, it's just for show, to win people's hearts.

In other words, the current tax revenue can only support 63 professional soldiers.

Barracks are required to recruit professional soldiers.

There are no barracks in the first-class villages.

In addition to grain, Xia Village's annual tax revenue includes copper money from economic buildings such as grocery stores and iron ore from first-class mining farms. None of these revenues are as high as food incomes, accounting for only a small fraction of them.

Villages are no more important than towns where commerce is prosperous, and farmland is the most important, and the grain collected is converted into copper coins, which are then used to buy weapons, armor, war horses, and other purposes.

In this way, the grain collected by Xia Village could not even support 63 professional soldiers, because it did not count the monthly payment to professional soldiers.

With Xia Village's own strength, development is very slow, and other means must be used.

Chu Tian sold the pieces of meat he had obtained from hunting to the villagers, and got a few hundred copper coins, which was regarded as additional income. Wild boar skins can be used to produce leather armor.

"It's not easy to become a qualified lord, just the problem of money and food is a big headache."

Chu Tian was worried about money and food, and he also had to consider upgrading Xia Village to a second-level village. There are several conditions that must be met to go from a first-class village to a second-class village.

The first condition is that the population reaches 80% of the upper limit, that is, 240 villagers.

The second condition is that the village has a prosperity of 50.

The third condition is that the people's will is greater than 50.

The fourth condition is that the security is greater than 50.

Xia Cun has already met the second, third, and fourth conditions. The population of the first condition is still 77 people, and as for the second condition, the prosperity of the village, the current prosperity of the summer village is 55/50, which is very exaggerated.

But when did Summer Village become so prosperous? In the morning, it is only 10 o'clock. Except for accepting sixty-three displaced people, Xia Village does not seem to have changed much.

Chu Tian carefully examined the source of the territory's prosperity. Territorial prosperity is closely related to agriculture, commerce, culture, military, population, roads, and buildings.

According to the change in the summer village, the prosperity level will not rise from 10 to 55 points.

No, because of the addition of Mulan, Xia Village's military rating skyrocketed, so the prosperity also increased indirectly.

"In other words, as long as you try to recruit 77 more homeless people, Xia Village can be promoted from a first-level village to a second-level village!"

Chu Tian's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that the king-level generals would have a bonus to prosperity. In the early stage, it can save Chu Tian a lot of effort.

According to Chutian's calculations, as long as it takes two or three days, Xia Village can meet the population requirements and be successfully promoted to a second-level village.

Chu Tian checked the player's leaderboard again. The game's systems are normal, and the ranking system is no exception.

The first liege is still the "God Will Bless You" in the Holy See District, with a total prosperity of 142.

The lord in second place is the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Lao Qin", who was distanced by the first place, with a total prosperity of 70.

In third place is the lord of the Sengoku region, "Nobunaga's Noboshi", with a total prosperity of 67.

In fourth place is the lord of the Persian region, the "Undead Commander", with a total prosperity of 65.

In fifth place is the Viking District "One-Eyed Pirate" with a total prosperity of 65.

……

The lord of the Eastern Han District, "I just want to farm well", ranked 786th, with a total prosperity of 55.

The player with the ID "I just want to farm well" is Chutian.

Because of a king-level general, Chu Tian successfully squeezed into the ranking and ranked 786th.

"And the hero leaderboard?"

Chu Tian saw that in addition to the prosperity ranking, there was also a hero ranking, which was ranked according to the overall attributes of the heroes.

At the top of the list is the royal special hero "Black Prince" Edward in the Holy See District.

And the second is Mulan, the king-level special hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The third is Shiro Amakusa, a diamond-level special hero in the Sengoku District.

……

There are many lords in the world, so there are other lords who are lucky enough to get special heroes through recruitment orders.

The first hero, Edward, the Black Prince, defeated about 40,000 French troops in the Battle of Crecy in the Hundred Years' War between England and France, with about 10,000 English troops, with fewer than hundreds of casualties and tens of thousands of enemies, and the English longbowmen were famous.

The third-placed hero, Amakusa Shiro, was the leader of the rebel army during the Tokugawa shogunate, which set off the "Shimabara Rebellion", in which the shogunate mobilized more than 100,000 feudal troops to besiege the rebel army for several months, and suffered tens of thousands of casualties before capturing the castle held by Amakusa Shiro.

Chu Tian seriously suspected that the emperor-level hero Black Prince had been recruited by the first-ranked Holy See District player "God Will Bless You", otherwise his territorial prosperity would not suddenly pull away from the second place so much.

"There's no need to envy him, the heroes of Xia Village are in second place, and they have already surpassed countless lords."

Chutian closed the leaderboard, and looked at the achievement system he had obtained, one of the achievements, the "Four Great Women", had a completion rate of 25%.

In addition to the four major women, there are other achievements. However, most of the achievements are difficult to complete, such as the Seven Wonders, which require the collection of seven special buildings: the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the Colossus of Zeus of Olympia, the Mausoleum of Mausolus, the Colossus of the Sun God of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

That means taking these places.
