The system upgrade took a day and a night. The upgrade process was very calm, with no earth-shaking movements, and no strange phenomena of colorful rays.

However, on the system panel, a slowly creeping progress bar appeared above the icon in the center of the town.

Although these system upgrades will consume the 1,000 taels of silver and 1,000 points of experience, they are not without gains.

After the system is successfully upgraded, it can receive corresponding upgrade rewards. This time, three optional rewards were given from the era of discovery to the era of coloniality.

One is six thousand kilograms of grain; the other is sixty archers; the last option is sixty musketeers.

The first option can be ruled out. Of course, grain is also very important to Li Xu, but he does not lack food now, what he lacks is a sense of security.

So it mainly focuses on the choice of archers and musketeers.

According to Li Xu's previous game experience, the summoning price of musketeers is higher than that of archers. Although I don't know if the system will be the same as the price setting in previous games after the upgrade is completed, Li Xu still decided to choose the expensive one.

Again, from a psychological perspective, although these musketeers still use old antique front-mounted smoothbore guns, they are still firearms, which naturally has a greater sense of identity with Li Xu, who has come from the age of hot weapons.

So, he chose sixty musketeers without hesitation for too long.

When I didn’t know which one to choose, it would be the right choice to choose the expensive one.

During the day and night of system upgrade, Li Xu felt like he was lost. He didn't eat well or sleep well. After a while, he opened the system panel and took a look. The feeling was the same as when he was in the same day with his first love girlfriend when he happened to be in the same day, and he was afraid of missing any message.

The little secretary Erin couldn't stand it anymore, so he forced him to eat a bowl of noodles, and sat by the bed and watched him sleep. Then he narrowed his eyes for a while.

Just in a daze, he suddenly heard a "ding" sound in his mind, and hurriedly opened his eyes and got up to check.

The system upgrade has been completed.

The town centers displayed on the panel have become "colonial era" and population restrictions have also changed from one thousand to five thousand.

And on the building menu, there are already several building icons.

For civil buildings, there is an additional dock and a Taoist temple.

There is no place to settle the pier now. After all, there are mountains everywhere here. Although there is a stream behind the mountain, it only provides some domestic water.

But the Taoist temple surprised Li Xu. The original game was a temple, but now it has become a Taoist temple. Obviously, the system has tailored it for him.

Li Xu did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism in his previous life, but he would not interfere with others' beliefs.

If he had to be inclined to one, he would definitely choose Taoism. In any case, Taoism is also a native religion, and it does not have as many messy considerations as Buddhism, but instead advocates inaction more.

Inaction is not about doing nothing, but advocates following the laws of heaven and human nature. Do not do what you should not do. You must do what you should do, follow the general trend and follow the original intention, so that you can be free and healthy.

In the past, it was popular to use "Buddhist" to describe many young people's attitude towards life that is content with things, but Li Xu thought it was more appropriate to use "Tao" to describe it.

Li Xu checked the notes and explanations of this Taoist temple. He was very relaxed and summarized in a lot of ways, which can help educate, unite people's hearts, make order stable and humanitarian harmony.

The most important point is that you can summon the feathers and the female crown through the Taoist temple.

That is, the main road and the Kun road, yes, male Taoist priests and female Taoist priests.

In addition to helping people with blessings and death temples, some of the Taoist priests can study health preservation, some can tell fortunes, and some can read Feng Shui, and the focus is different.

However, these are not what Li Xu cares about the most. What surprised him was that the Taoist priests summoned from the Taoist temple were capable of martial arts and medical skills, which was more practical.

Taoist priests who know how to do martial arts are not good Taoists, and they can also have more helpers when fighting with others in the future.

It is better to know medical skills. In the future, more and more people will be in this village. If you have headaches, brain fever, fractures, and even those who are injured in battle, you won’t worry that no one will be able to cure them.

After looking at the price, it takes 100 square meters of wood to build a Taoist temple. Other materials are earth and stone, and they are not included in consumables. Just use the materials locally.

To summon a Taoist priest, it will cost 200 taels of silver.

This price is not expensive, but it is actually quite cost-effective for a unit with high cost performance and versatile functions.

But there is no hurry to do this, it’s okay to make arrangements later.

In terms of military architecture, there are three additional architectural icons.

The first is the military camp.

As the most basic military unit, the military camp can currently summon five types of troops: archers, spearmen, musketeers, light cavalry and grenadiers.

In addition to the military camp, there are stables and arsenals.

As the name suggests, stables are places where war horses can be cultivated. Of course, there will be no light cavalry without war horses.

In the original game, the light cavalry was summoned directly from the stables, but now the soldiers are summoned from the military camps, and the war horses are cultivated from the stables.

The same is true for grenadiers, with soldiers summoned from the barracks, while weapons and equipment are produced by the arsenal.

In the original game, the arsenal was a unit that carried out various military technology research and development and upgrading, but now it has become a unit that manufactures weapons and equipment.

Li Xu checked the summoning prices of these troops and found that all troops only need to pay silver to summon.

The prices are as follows:

Archer 15 taels of silver; spearman 10 taels of silver; musketeer 25 taels of silver.

Light cavalry 100 taels of silver; grenade 30 taels of silver.

All the above prices include weapons and equipment.

In other words, when Li Xu places an order to summon soldiers, the required equipment orders will also be generated in the arsenal and stable, and there is no need to spend money alone to equip soldiers with equipment.

Li Xu studied it again and found that orders can be placed in the arsenal and stable to produce alone. These equipment include bows and arrows, spears, muskets, grenades, various artillery, and even various armor and armor.

This setting made Li Xu very happy. Although the system has a population limit, if weapons can be produced separately, then he can use the system soldiers as the core of the direct line and recruit other ordinary people to form a larger army in the future.

But it seems like I think it's a bit far.

Li Xu retracted his thoughts and looked satisfied. In short, the result of this escalation still made him very satisfied.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the secretary-in-law who had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"Lord, the new soldiers outside are waiting for you to review and give a lecture."

When Xiao Ailin saw Li Xu looking over, she smiled and reminded her.

“Yes, yes, go and go.”

Li Xu almost forgot the sixty musketeers who were upgraded and rewarded. When he heard this, he hurriedly stood up and hurriedly ran downstairs.
Chapter completed!
