...
The population of Xia Village has increased to 3,000, accounting for almost half of the population of the seven villages, and is still Zhang Hua’s most important territory.
The attack on Jin Wushu suffered a lot of troops and Zhang Hua recruited soldiers again.
Liao Hua, a military general of Shu Han, was sent by Zhang Hua to guard Jincun to resist the army of the Green Forest Army.
Jincun has a population of 500, and also has primary infantry battalions, primary bow barracks, primary cavalry battalions and other barracks. You can recruit troops by yourself.
However, Jincuncun Village needs to receive Zhang Hua's administrative order before recruiting troops.
Liao Hua had no right to recruit soldiers and was only responsible for the war.
Zhang Hua plans to expand his troops to 1,000, including 300 in Jincun, 100 in Shuizhai, 100 in Dayang Village, and 500 in Xia Village.
The other three villages do not require permanent soldiers, but only a team of township brave men can maintain public order.
"Mr. Liu, you post a notice and recruit village officials. Any talented person can recommend himself and accept the appointment."
Zhang Hua asked Liu Qisu to post notices in the village to select talents.
The territory has more population, and management is becoming more complicated.
When there are only a few hundred people, Zhang Hua can even call out the name of each villager. However, Xia Village has a population of 3,000 and the total population of the territory is 7,000. Zhang Hua cannot do everything himself. At this time, he will start recruiting various officials to prepare for the future upgrading to a town.
The territory panel does not show the talents in the territory, but will only be displayed in the territory panel after the talents are discovered.
In addition, there are only a few celebrities in history, and most of the villagers in each village are unknown people, who can read and do things.
Therefore, it is still necessary to establish a talent selection mechanism.
The system of recommendation and imperial examinations were both ancient talent selection systems.
When the territory is not large enough, the system of recommendation is implemented, and the imperial examination system is not efficient. Zhang Hua directly posted notices and implemented a self-recommendation system.
Zhang Hua’s requirements for selecting village officials are very simple. First, they must be literate, second, they must be capable, and third, they must be morally qualified.
Maybe it can even alarm the celebrities hiding in the village.
After some big names came here, they chose to change their names and surnames and lived in seclusion from then on.
Some big shots also came over here, but unfortunately encountered bandits and died.
"In the mountains and forests near Xia Village, an intermediate logging farm was built. In this way, Xia Village had an intermediate logging farm and a primary logging farm, and the timber produced was barely enough to build houses and other buildings."
Zhang Hua obtained the drawings of the intermediate logging yard, and he could spend resources and labor to upgrade the primary logging yard to the intermediate logging yard, or he could choose to build a brand new intermediate logging yard.
Considering that Xia Village's population has skyrocketed and various buildings will be built in timber in the future, Zhang Hua increased all resource buildings such as logging yards, quarries, mining farms, etc. in Xia Village to two, or even three.
Xia Village has basic resources such as iron ore, copper ore, forest, rivers, flat land, horse farms, etc., so you don’t need to worry about insufficient resources before upgrading to the city.
This is also a problem that many villages located on the plains are difficult to solve.
"Li Shizhen's East Wall Hall can also be built, and it is a mid-level clinic."
Zhang Hua also has a special drawing presented by Li Wenxin - the Dongbitang drawing.
Dongbitang is a fifth-level medical clinic, equivalent to an intermediate-level special clinic.
Pu Yuan joined Xia Village. In order to improve the efficiency of forging weapons, Zhang Hua arranged labor to build an intermediate blacksmith shop.
The junior blacksmith shop can accommodate up to 30 blacksmiths and apprentices.
The intermediate blacksmith shop can accommodate up to 100 blacksmiths and apprentices, and comes with various bellows, iron smelting blast furnaces and other tools, which is more efficient.
Xia Village continued to build large-scale construction, build large quantities, upgrade various buildings, and expand to the urban level.
Zhang Hua captured Jin Wushu's village and captured 131 war horses, 325 other horses, and thousands of cattle and sheep.
The biggest gain of fighting with nomadic tribes is that they can capture a large number of horses, cattle and sheep.
Zhang Hua put horses, cattle and sheep on the grassland on the south bank for animal husbandry.
Farm on the north bank and raise horses on the south bank.
Cavalry is the king of cold weapons. To build a large-scale cavalry, one must have sufficient number of war horses.
Zhang Hua never gave up Ma Zheng.
There are currently 800 horses of various types on the south bank horse farm, and Zhang Hua has set up a separate ranch, 2,000 cattle and sheep.
"The village has started planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, and it is time to build a textile workshop."
"Each village has set up primary post stations to deliver administrative orders and military intelligence."
"Along the river, build a beacon tower every 5 miles. Once the green forest to the west and the Eight Banners in the east attack, immediately ignite the wolf smoke from the beacon tower."
Zhang Hua made a series of layouts.
Zhang Hua's territory is very simple. Xia Village, Song Village, Wu Village and Jin Village are all distributed along the river, and soldiers and resources can be transported through wooden boats.
When the scale of Xia Village expands, it can also annex the villages of Song Village, Wu Village, Jin Village and other villages to form a city in the valley.
The notice of recruiting village officials in Xia Village was posted, and scholars and juren from all dynasties who lived in Xia Village were ready to try.
