Xiacheng was covered with flying snow, but the lord's mansion was warm, and officials came in and out from time to time.

Chu fought one after another and finally had time to rest.

Fang Xuanling, Li Kui and others were all dealing with internal affairs in the front hall of the lord's mansion, and everything was calm.

As Zhou Yafu successively captured the villages and towns of Yangdu County, and news of success was passed back to Xiacheng, the population controlled by Chu finally increased from 800,000 to 1 million.

If placed in some civilized areas, Chu is already a prince. It's just that in the Eastern Han District, at least one has to become a prefect or a governor before he is qualified to claim himself as a prince of the road. The Eastern Han District is really too big.

Chu stipulates that the time for dealing with internal affairs is nine to five.

Officials such as Fang Xuanling and Li Kui had residences in the city, and they would take the initiative to say goodbye to Chu when the time came.

Now that it is winter again, the various lords are reluctant to continue fighting, so there are fewer wars.

"Lord Lord, please come to the humble house, my subordinates will show you a good thing."

Before returning to his residence, Xia Liang took the initiative to invite Chu.

"Is there anything I can bring directly to the lord's mansion."

"This thing... it's really not easy to bring..."

Seeing that she was mysterious, Chu had to follow her.

Generally, the good things she mentions are related to making money. Chu is very short of money now. He wants more money and recruits more troops.

Xia Liang's house, like Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, Li Guang, Hua Mulan, etc., was allocated by the lord's palace.

Chu rarely visited directly at the residence of his subordinates.

Xia Liang's house is not big, no, the layout inside is very elegant, and a pavilion has been built.

Chu Ke doesn't think this is corruption. With her salary and recent rewards, she can build ten pavilions in her private house.

In the gazebo, there was a woman in a yellow dress holding a roll of books in her hands. There is also a stove next to it, emitting light smoke, which looks a bit like fireworks in the cold winter.

A beauty without a doubt.

Chu admitted that he was not a womanizer, but he was a little surprised.

"I designed this dress, you don't know who she is, do you?"

Xia Liang held an oil-paper umbrella to block the snowflakes that fell from time to time for Chu, and was quite proud.

Chu was separated by a distance, and he really couldn't tell who the woman in the pavilion was.

When he got close, he quickly understood who the person was.

"The last will meet the lord..."

Seeing Chu coming, Hua Mulan hurriedly closed the book and saluted Chu with a fist.

Chu couldn't help but laugh, this was the first time he saw Mulan put on a long dress, but Hua Mulan obviously thought she was still wearing armor and acting in a hurry.

"Sister Mulan, you can't do this normally."

Xia Liang promptly adjusted Mulan's usual manners for women.

"The good thing you brought me to see is Hua Mulan?"

Chu looked at Hua Mulan up and down, the yellow skirt and the corset showed her concave and convex figure to the fullest... Chu didn't see that Hua Mulan was quite predictable before.

Because it was winter, she also wore an inner shirt under her long skirt, her long hair was gathered up with white silk satin, and her cheeks were a little red.

"How could it be Mulan... something more exciting..."

"Anything more exciting?"

Now Chu also felt that he was ignorant.

He thought it was exciting enough to encourage Mulan, who usually wears armor, to change into a long skirt.

Xia Liang asked Chu to wait in the pavilion, and then took out a wooden box from the house. When the wooden box was opened, Chu was completely stunned. Even Mulan, who was usually cold, had hot cheeks.

The wooden box turned out to be underwear!

"Miss Xia, you are..."

Chu finally knew why it was inconvenient to be in the lord's mansion.

When asked by Chu, Xia Liang pouted, "Of course it's for making money!"

"I'm very poor..."

"My subordinates don't want to sell you. Clothes, food, housing, and transportation can get a lot of income. Clothing is silk, cotton, and flax. Food is grain, fish, salt. Shipping. As long as we monopolize most of the silk trade, do you think we'll be short of money? Most players will accept this kind of clothing, and then there will be a trend, and then all the commoners will accept it."

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi liked to wear purple clothes, so all the people of Qi country scrambled to imitate them, and the price of purple cloth rose. At that time, five pieces of plain cloth could not replace one piece of purple cloth. Later, Duke Huan of Qi wanted to reverse this trend. Because of this kind of ethos, he claimed that he hated purple clothes, and after three days no one in Qi would see anyone wearing purple clothes. This shows that the attitude of the monarch can affect the preferences of the common people under his rule."

Chu understood what Xia Liang meant. This was to meet the needs of players, and at the same time to promote underwear, and earn money from the common people.

What a genius.

"I have no opinion, you can do it. But in "Lord", it should not be possible to create items that are not available."

"No, there is such an item in the setting of "Lord". I learned advanced tailoring skills, and then tried to make it. The result was really made. If you don't believe me, you can check its properties."

Xia Liang said seriously.

Chu had to check the attributes of a piece of clothing.

【Name】: Xia Liang's underwear

[Quality]: Superior

【durable】:

[Description]: A piece of ordinary clothing without defense. Player Xia Liang is in October of the second year of the lord calendar.

"It can really be made..."

Chu seems to see a good way to make money.

It seems something is wrong, why is the durability a little less...

"You'll be fine with other tailors in the future. Your time should be spent elsewhere."

Chu thought to himself, in order to increase financial income, it is a big deal as a lord to encourage the sale of underwear.

Chu agreed and handed over a silk workshop to Xia Liang to run it, and it was up to her to do the tossing. Chu can still afford the loss of a silk workshop.

Hua Mulan was present, but she was completely clueless when it came to clothing, and because of the presence of Hua Mulan, Chu did not speak well.

The production of clothing that is popular with players living in Xiacheng has temporarily come to an end.

Chu asked Mulan about cavalry training by the way.

There are currently 3,000 light cavalry stationed in Xiacheng, with an average level of about 45.

Mulan's exclusive cavalry iron eagle scouts are still training, and she is already eager to try.

Commanding an elite cavalry is completely different from commanding ordinary light cavalry.

Chu accidentally discovered that Mulan's long dress was still the fabric he gave her in Luoyang.

After Chu agreed to promote underwear, the textile workshop began to manufacture a large number of underwear, and then sold it in Xiacheng, causing a sensation in the player group for a while.

"No, is there really such a thing for sale?"

"I...I want..."

A group of female players were first pursued, and then the civilians in Xiacheng were affected and began to haunt the silk shop...

"Ding! A new A-level specialty has appeared in your territory, Xiacheng - first-class silk underwear."

Chu received the prompt from the system and was quite surprised.

The invention of Xia Liang has also become one of the specialties of Xiacheng.

In fact, it is not an invention. There is such an item in the setting of "Lord", but it was made by Xia Liang and then supported by Chu, who is the lord, so it became a special product.

Some female players who have learned the skills of tailoring have already discovered it, but they are ashamed of promotion and have not received the support of the lord.

Instead, Chu picked up a big bargain.

Although he had expected the value, Chu was still a little surprised, because the first net profit of the silk shop was as high as 325 taels of silver, and the inventory in the following ones was directly exhausted.

325 taels of silver, enough to buy four gold-level warhorses.

It can be seen how helpless the female players trapped in "Lord" are. Now the female players in Xiacheng have regarded Chu as a hero.

So Chu arranged for more textile workers to produce this new specialty.

New specialties are most lucrative when they come out, and once other lords manage to produce them, the profits diminish.

In order to recruit money to buy horses, how about sacrificing reputation.

"My lord, Xu Sheng, the military general of the lord of Ju County, has taken refuge with General Zhou Yafu!"

Chu received a letter from Zhou Yafu.

Chu was greatly shocked by Xu Sheng's coming to vote. He failed to capture Xu Sheng alive in Yangdu County, but now Xu Sheng ran over to take refuge on his own.

What happened, Zhou Yafu has explained as much as possible in his letters.

Qi Bai went to take refuge in Lingfeng, the lord of Juxian County, but Qi Bai's subordinate Wu Sangui suddenly attacked and killed Lingfeng, thinking he could subdue Xu Sheng.

As a general of Lingfeng, Xu Sheng was extremely loyal and dissatisfied with Wu Sangui, so he took his own soldiers to fight with Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui came prepared, but Xu Sheng suffered a big loss after the defeat. After the defeat, Zhongjian fled to Yangdu County on the other side of the Yi River, and wanted to use Chu's power to avenge the old master.

"Wu Sangui is really a headache..."

Chu put down Zhou Yafu's letter, and now Wu Sangui is based in Juxian, with tens of thousands of troops, and he has become a big burden for Chu

"Please Xu Sheng come to Xiacheng."

Chu originally thought that the first general of the Three Kingdoms he conquered was a thief from Mount Tai, but he did not expect that it would be Xu Sheng.

Annan District, Dayue State.

"He's a player from the Eastern Han District, damn it, he took Champaign rice!"

"catch him!"

A group of menacing lords and players of the Great Viet Kingdom armed with swords, killed a sailboat, and blood splashed on the deck.

The borders of the civilized area were opened in May of the second year of the lord's calendar. Immediately, the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty sent out desperados to the Annan District to try to get Champaign rice.

The angry Annan district lords blood-washed the sailing ship.

While they were scavenging for their loot, they realized that something seemed wrong.

"This is not a sailboat from the Eastern Han Dynasty, we were deceived!"

"They are really cunning! Once the lords of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou get the Champa rice, it will be a huge threat to our country of Dayue!"

No matter how angry the players of Dayue Kingdom are, it will not help, because the players in the Eastern Han region who have obtained the Champaign rice have already set sail with the help of the sea breeze blowing over the land from the Pacific Ocean.

"Big brother, I fulfilled my mission and got the seeds of Champa rice. In the future, the south of the Yangtze River can become a granary."

A Jiaozhou player stood on the undulating deck. He risked his life to go to Champaign. By bribing local officials, he finally got the precious Champaign rice.

"There are also players from the Dayue Kingdom who are chasing me. I will seek revenge from you in the future. The Dayue Kingdom should have been a part of our Eastern Han District a long time ago!"

Jiaozhou and Dayue have always had grudges.

Originally, the land of the Great Vietnam Kingdom should have been part of Jiaozhou. Later, the Great Vietnam Kingdom separated and formed a different civilization, that is, the present Annan District.

The lords of Jiaozhou had only two development directions, either going north to attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou, or going south to attack Dayue.

Chu waited patiently in Xiacheng for five, and Xu Sheng, the general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, finally came to Xiacheng on a walking warship.

"Xiacheng is more prosperous than I thought. However, the scale of the navy in Xiacheng is not large."

Xu Sheng disembarked at the pier in Xiacheng and saw prosperous fish leftovers on the shore

The fourth-level fish market in Xiacheng is overcrowded, supplying 100,000 people in Xiacheng.

In order to develop Xia City, Chu moved Langya City's population of 50,000 into Xia City, so the current Xia City is second only to Langya City.

A group of light cavalry returned to the city after crusade against the bandits, and met Xu Sheng who came to seek refuge. Leading the cavalry was a general in white.

Xu Sheng looked at the man and felt a bit familiar, and suddenly recalled that this was the Xiacheng military general who led the heavy cavalry to break the formation that day.

This somewhat immature-looking general in white led three hundred cavalry to pierce through his army during the battle in Yangdu County, with a majestic square-painted halberd, which impressed Xu Sheng deeply.

Xue Rengui didn't know Xu Sheng, but he glanced at Xu Sheng intentionally or unintentionally when he passed by.

"General Xue, the lord has a wink"

Xue Rengui was stopped by the guards who brought Xu Sheng.

Chu knew that Shi Shi's military commander was powerful, and Xu Sheng might be a diamond-level military commander. If there was a violent attack, he might be killed with Chu's current force.

Therefore, Chu specially summoned two fierce generals, Xue Rengui and Li Guang, to sit in command to prevent Xu Sheng from being sent by Wu Sangui to fraudulently surrender.

Soldiers never tire of deceit.

Xue Rengui dismounted and asked the lieutenant to help him bring the Turkic war horse back to the stable.

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up when he saw Xue Rengui's war horse.

He also knew the pros and cons of war horses.

The price of Xue Rengui, a war horse, is at least five hundred taels of silver.

Xu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little envious.

At least he hasn't touched such a good horse.

"You are?"

"Xu Sheng, the general of the defeated army."

"Why are you here? Could it be that you came to deceive?"

Xue Rengui's first reaction was that Xu Sheng swindled to surrender.

Although Xu Sheng was defeated in the battle in Yangdu County, he was not wiped out. He returned to Ju County after the defeat, and should not appear in Xiacheng.

"General, don't be suspicious. My lord was killed by Wu Sangui, so I want to take revenge by the army."

When Xu Sheng mentioned this, his expression was a little gloomy.

Chu knew that Xu Sheng was loyal to Soochow Wu all his life and was a trustworthy general, so he accepted Xu Sheng as a refugee.

Xu Sheng followed Xue Rengui to the lord's mansion, Chu bathed and burned incense, and took Li Guang to wait for Xu Sheng's arrival.

It is very difficult to subdue the wild generals. Zang Ba and Sun Guan, the two Taishan thieves generals, are still imprisoned in the dungeon in Xiacheng and have not surrendered.

Now what Chu wants to conquer is a military general who is better than Zang Ba and Sun Guan, or a general of the naval division.

Chu has generals of infantry, cavalry, and archers, but lacks water generals.

Whether or not he can conquer the first Three Kingdoms general depends on his incorruptible tongue.
