Intermediate Barracks: The maximum number of reserve soldiers is 200, and the corresponding regular troops can be recruited. Outbuilding: Bootcamp (can be promoted to a Tier 2 class that meets the standards).

Intermediate Fence: A sturdy wooden wall that surrounds a village, affecting the territory's defense index and popular sentiment index. Outbuildings: Female Wall (for soldiers to defend the city).

Intermediate granary: can hold 4000 units of grain and grass.

Other buildings: omitted

After a day of construction and upgrading, all the buildings in the village were completed. One of the biggest changes is the intermediate fence. The simple wall, which was originally made of logs and cornerstones, became much more magnificent, and the women's wall, an outbuilding that could be used by soldiers to inspect the wooden walls, was added. In this way, the defense of the territory has been significantly strengthened. If there are any more rogue bandits and the like, they will be able to keep the enemy out of the village with only a few archers. It will no longer be as dangerous as when Ding Yan almost destroyed the village.

In addition, the change is also very obvious, which is the granary. Capacity has been doubled. The original three granaries could only hold a maximum of 6,000 units of grain and grass, but now it has doubled to 12,000 units.

But Lu Yao was still not satisfied.

After checking the resources of the lower territory, Lu Yao decisively built three granaries again. He knows that food shortages have always run through the development of the territory. This is an unavoidable reality. Except, of course, for those players with a national background. They are backed by the State and have a large number of support staff to provide a variety of resources. That's why you can advance by leaps and bounds at the beginning of the game and occupy an absolute advantage.

The grain and grass harvest season in the game is also basically the same as reality. Depending on the region, the grain harvest season varies from place to place. For example, in arid areas such as Xiliang and little rainfall, grain and grass can only be harvested once a year. Therefore, players in such areas need to expand the area of farmland to make up for the lack of food and grass. In large grain-producing areas such as Huguang in reality, it can be harvested twice a year. As for areas like Zhuya Prefecture, due to the suitable climatic conditions, the most extreme can reach three seasons a year. However, generally speaking, it basically remains at the level of two seasons a year.

To put it simply, Xanadu Village needs to store grain and grass that can be used for about half a year of the territory to ensure that there is no food shortage. Therefore, the more granaries the better. At present, the village consumes more than 500 units of grain and grass every day, and the reserves of six intermediate granaries plus going out to collect wild fruits, which is barely enough for more than 40 days, and there is still a surplus.

Lu Yao was not in a hurry. You can't become a fat man by eating one bite, and stable development is the king. After dealing with the food problem, he recruited fifteen archers for himself and formed a small team. In the future, these twenty archers can basically ensure the safety of the village. Ding Yan's surprise attack really scared him.

"My lord." Zhao Yun led the cavalry to inspect and return to the village, bringing back the displaced people who were refreshed today.

"Thirty-one outcasts?" Lu Yao frowned slightly.

The second-level village has a fixed 20 homeless people every day. The rogues that refreshed out of the rogue camp today and the rogue who took the initiative to belong haven't had time to brush yet. The thirty-one displaced people brought back by Zhao Yun were a big problem.

New territories have appeared around the territory.

Lu Yao is not surprised. This period is the first peak period for players to settle in. Zhuya Prefecture is located in the southernmost part, so it is not a bad idea for players to choose to avoid the fierce competition of Middle-earth and concentrate on their development. It's like someone likes terrain like basins. The front and back openings are blocked, and it is basically impossible for other players to attack the territory.

"Is it the people of the state?" Lu Yao was secretly worried in his heart, and he couldn't be sure whether the surrounding territories were ordinary players or had a national background.

It's easy for ordinary players to do it, but they don't necessarily can't become allies. If there is a national background, he is 1,000% unwilling to communicate with it, and he will talk about it after bulldozing. It is still representing the country now, and it will ...... in the future Hehe.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao carefully interrogated Zhao Yun about the process of this inspection. Eventually, he was secretly relieved. There are no player villages within a radius of fifty miles. Beyond this distance, if you want to lead troops to attack, the logistical burden alone will almost kill the player.

War is about logistics.

Cavalry is the best scout. He spent a lot of money to build such a cavalry team, the purpose was to expand the scope of the patrol and avoid the recurrence of major hidden dangers like Feiyang Village. Now the area of Zhao Yun's inspection has reached a radius of fifty miles, far exceeding the territory of Xanadu Village.

"Zilong, take Gongyu to the Liukou camp. It's time for him to lead his troops. Lu Yao immediately arranged a task for Zhao Yun.

During this time, Ding Yan was busy with internal affairs, and he also worked part-time as a private school teacher, so he was very busy. Now that the village is on the right track, Lu Yao doesn't plan to let him be idle. The Pu Dao soldiers are good at going out to defend the city, and they are a comprehensive type of troops, which just makes up for the shortcomings of the village's current strong attack and weak defense.

Zhao Yun was ordered to leave. Lu Yao still couldn't rest. The current size of the village is no longer sufficient and needs to be further expanded. He opened the territory panel, found the Expand option, and then selected Expand.

There was a slight tremor in the village, and the intermediate-level wooden walls began to extend outward. The buildings in the village have also been moved. The villagers didn't seem to see the great changes in the village, and they still carried out their work. There is no doubt that a game is a game after all, and it is normal for some unreasonable settings to appear.

About half an hour later, the slight tremor subsided. The village has changed dramatically. First of all, the houses that were a little cramped and cluttered before have become neater and spacious. The main road in the village is divided into eight areas. Among them, the storage center is located in the southwest area of the village. The barracks are located in the Northeast District. The southeast area is home to mid-level blacksmith shops and future workshops. Lu Yao intends to build this area into the future military industrial zone of the territory. Residential areas occupy other areas.

"That's it for now." Lu Yao sighed.

Such a village plan was not to his liking. The pillars of the territory are too scattered. He wanted buildings such as granaries, barracks, and blacksmith workshops to be all in one area, which would not only make it easier to manage, but also prevent the enemy from getting more targets. Whether it is a granary, a barracks, or a military enterprise, any destruction will shake the foundations of the territory.

But there is no way at the moment. Another significance of the existence of these buildings is to stabilize the people's minds. Don't panic when you have food, and feel more at ease when you have soldiers. At present, the scale of the village is still a second-class village, and these buildings are needed to enhance the people's morale.

After the expansion is completed, the resources stored in the territory are also depleted. Everything seems to have returned to the original situation of being poor and white. Lu Yao smiled bitterly and closed the panel and opened the trading platform.

Just as he had predicted, after just two days of stabilization, the price of grain rose again, surpassing the highest price of the period before his rebirth, reaching a staggering 18 copper per unit.

In just one day, it rose by 2 copper per unit, and Lu Yao secretly smacked his tongue. There are indeed many wise people in the world. With a strange expression on his face, he took out the funds from the sale of 5,500 units of grain and grass. After deducting the transaction tax, there were 8 gold, 3 silver and 600 copper left, and then together with all the funds of the territory, 51,000 units of grain and grass were auctioned.

Swipe, Lu Yao has just finished shooting. The three intermediate granaries are full. Mountains of grain and grass occupy almost all the remaining open space in the area.

"Miscalculation, miscalculation." Lu Yao secretly regretted it. This was the first time he had tried this kind of activity in his previous life, and it was estimated that it was far from enough. If the limit is exceeded, the excess will be exposed. The climate of Zhuya Prefecture is warm and humid, and when enough granaries are built, it is inevitable that there will be some losses. It's all money.

It's never too late to make amends.

Lu Yao immediately used the remaining funds to buy grain and entered the trading platform to rush to buy resources. Soon, five more granaries were under construction. Carefully calculated, a total of 11 intermediate granaries, currently able to meet the demand for the time being.

Just when Lu Yao rushed to build a granary in an attempt to reduce the loss of grain and grass, the hermit once again convened the heads of various places to discuss.
