returned to the village with the hunting team, Chu Tian discovered that Minxin had actually increased by 1 point, reaching 76. Probably the hunting team provided meat to the village, and the villagers’ satisfaction increased.

   Half a day after Chutian was out hunting, a dozen more refugees appeared near the village. The number of villagers in the village reached 163, including 61 Xiangyong.

   The source of income for the village is taxation. The current tax rate is 20%. Grain or copper is handed in.

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

   These 40 units of food are resources that Chutian, as the lord, can control. This little food can only feed 40 soldiers.

   Fortunately, Xiangyong does not need to be paid by the lord for food and salary, otherwise Chutian cannot even support the current Xiangyong troops.

   Thanks to the participation of refugees, the village’s free farmland has been used and the output has been increased.

   There are many other attributes that affect agriculture, and there are special agriculture panels.

   [Territory]: Xia Village

   [Used farmland]: 60

  [Idle Farmland]: 40

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

   [Production efficiency]: 10/100

  【Water Treatment】: 70/100 (affected by climate, rivers, and water conservancy projects)

   [Soil fertility]: 70/100 (every round of harvest will reduce fertility, which can be improved by fertilization and fallow)

   [Disaster]: None

   [Harvest]: None

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

   [Annual tax]: 64.68

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

   There is no shortage of plains in the Yi River area, and there are rivers passing by, and the water and soil are good. It is not difficult to reclaim new farmland.

   "Only 65 units of food were expropriated in one year, which means that only 65 professional soldiers can be fed. That's not right...you have to feed yourself and Mulan..."

Only then did Chu Tian realize that he and Hua Mulan did not produce food. Hua Mulan was a professional military commander, not a countryman who was half-military and half-soldier. Chu Tian was the lord. How could the lord go down to the fields and grow the land himself... Gather people's hearts.

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

   The recruitment of professional soldiers requires a barracks.

   There is no barracks in the first-level villages.

   In addition to grain, the annual tax revenue of Xia Village also includes copper money income from economic buildings such as grocery stores and iron ore income from first-level mining farms. These incomes are not as high as food income, and only account for a small part.

   Villages are not more important than commercial towns. Farmland is the most important. The expropriated grains are converted into copper coins, which are then used to purchase weapons, armors, war horses, and other purposes.

   From this point of view, the food levied in Xia Village cannot even support 63 professional soldiers, because the monthly salary paid to professional soldiers has not yet been counted.

   Relying on Xia Village’s own power, development is very slow, and other means must be used.

   Chutian sold the meat pieces he obtained from hunting to the villagers, and got hundreds of copper coins, which was regarded as extra income. Wild boar skin can be used to produce leather armor.

   "It's not easy to become a qualified lord. Just the question of money and food is a big deal."

   Chutian is worried about money and food, and he has to consider upgrading Xia Village to a secondary village. Several conditions must be met to move from a first-level village to a second-level village.

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

   The second condition is that the village's prosperity reaches 50.

   The third condition is that the popular sentiment is greater than 50.

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

   Xia Village has fulfilled the second, third, and fourth conditions. The first condition is a population shortage of 77 people. As for the second condition, the prosperity of the village, the current prosperity of Xia Village is 55/50, which is very exaggerated.

   But when did the prosperity of Xia Village become so high? In the morning the prosperity was only 10 o'clock. Apart from accepting 63 refugees in Xia Village, there seems to be little change.

   Chutian carefully checked the source of the prosperity of the territory. Territorial prosperity is closely related to agriculture, commerce, culture, military, population, roads, and buildings.

   According to the changes in Xia Village, the prosperity will not rise from 10 to 55.

   Not right, because of Hua Mulan's joining, Xia Village's military rating skyrocketed, so the prosperity also indirectly increased.

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

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

   Refugees will be spawned from the vicinity of the village from time to time. According to Chutian’s calculations, Xia Village can meet the population requirements for only two or three days and be successfully upgraded to a secondary village.

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

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

  The second lord was the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Old Qin", who was separated from the first place with a total prosperity of 70.

   Ranked third is the lord of the Warring States Period "Nobunaga's Ambition", with a total prosperity of 67.

   Ranked fourth is the lord of the Persian Region, "Commander of the Undead", with a total prosperity of 65.

   Ranked fifth is the "one-eyed pirate" in the Viking area, with a total prosperity of 65.

  ……

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

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

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

   "There is a hero list?"

   Chutian saw that in addition to the prosperity rankings, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also has a hero ranking, which is ranked according to the overall attributes of the heroes.

  The first is the royal special hero "Black Prince" Edward of the Holy See.

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

  The third is Shiro Amakusa, a diamond-level special hero from the Sengoku Warring States area.

  ……

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

  The hero Black Prince Edward, who ranked first in the Hundred Years' War, defeated about 40,000 French troops with about 10,000 English troops in the Battle of Crecy, with fewer than hundreds of casualties and tens of thousands of enemies. The English longbowman was famous.

  The third-ranked hero Amakusa Shiro was the leader of the rebel army during the Tokugawa shogunate era. He set off the "Shimabara Rebellion". The shogunate mobilized more than 100,000 clan troops to besiege the rebel army for several months. Tens of thousands of casualties captured the city guarded by Amakusa Shiro.

   Chutian seriously suspected that the imperial hero Black Prince was recruited by the top-ranked Vatican player "God Will Bless You", otherwise his territorial prosperity would not suddenly pull up to second place.

   "There is no need to envy him, the hero of Xia Village ranks second, surpassing countless lords."

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

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

   This means occupying these places.
