Soji Tsugawa looked at the people sitting in the audience, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

"Evaluation begins"!

"Hi"

"The achievement of the strategy of Nanxian North County this time depends on the concerted efforts of all of you, and our family can achieve such results in such a short period of time, and everyone has contributed a lot!" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

"Mabei, tell me about the current situation of my family"

"Hey! The new territories around Lordship, Hondo Castle and Nagano Castle are on the right track, and the situation in Rokugo Castle and Takane Castle is gradually stabilizing with the help of Shigeto-sama. Takahashi-sama of Hirako-gun has already teamed up with Omura-sama to defeat the Matsumoto family and the Tanaka family, and the Shimonoyama area has also been brought under the rule of the main family. Kuroda replied.

After listening to Kuroda Iekane's words, Tsugawa Soji nodded with satisfaction.

"Saigo-sama, let's report on the situation in the territory," Tsugawa Soji then said to Saigo Kicho, who was sitting first on the left.

"Hey!" Saigo Kicho turned his head and said, "My lord! The family added Ryohei Castle, Nagano Castle, Hondo Castle, Iwamatsu Castle, Takane Castle, and Rokugo Castle. The sphere of influence has expanded almost 2 times. It's really gratifying. ”

"How's the land inspection going?"

"My lord! The original land of the house was about 3,600 stone high, and the stone height of Ōtaka Castle, Nagano Castle, and Ryohei Castle was 1,700 stone. Hondo Township and Takamatsu Castle have a stone height of 4,800 stones, and Rokugo Castle and Takane Castle have a stone height of 5,200 stones. In this way, the current territory of the family is about 15,300 stones," said Saigo Kicho excitedly.

As soon as Saigo Kicho's words fell, the people in the hall looked at each other excitedly. Within two years, the Tsugawa family has jumped from a small wealthy family with a few hundred stones of stone high to a powerful wealthy family with more than 10,000 stone high under the rule, no, it can already be regarded as a small big name! Such a feat deserves the praise of all the retainers!

Tsugawa Soji said with a smile: "How is the work of the displaced people and land reclamation in the territory going?" ”

"My lord! According to the plan of the lord to vigorously collect the displaced people, now there are more than 6,100 new displaced people in the family's territory, and 4,000 new land reclamation is reversed, but the reclamation has just been completed, and the output will be formed next year! In this way, the stone height in the family's territory is considered to be the newly reclaimed land, and there should be more than 20,000 stone heights! Saigo Kicho replied.

"Not bad! Saigo-sama has worked hard. Tsugawa Soji said, "Saigo-sama, you can tell me about the current material situation of the family and the income of the coins."

Saigo Kizo, who was sitting next to Saigo Kicho, hurriedly replied, "Lord! The existing grain of the family plus the grain seized by the wealthy family such as the family of the house totaled 14,000 stones, and the money was 1,300 yuan. 1,400 ashigaru spears and 1,100 sets of jinkasa. 760 swords, 120 Maruki bows, 1,700 arrows"

"In addition, the family's iron ore and smelting workshops in Tsugawa Castle are now able to produce 200 farm tools and 50 weapons of various kinds per day. Since the commerce of Senhoku-gun is not developed, the income from river transportation and various customs duties and road taxes in the inner Kakujian River is only about 200 kokoi a month. Saigo Kizo replied.

Tsugawa Soji nodded and said, "Except for grain and iron ore, does the family have any other output?" ”

"My lord, three new lumberyards have been built near the Great High City to make bows and arrows and other items! The horse farm in Hondo Township has a total of 7 stallions and 24 mares. There are 142 adult horses and 20 foals. In addition, there are some small horse farms in the rest of the country, but they are all horses and cannot be used as war horses. Saigo Kizo replied.

"Well, the family's products have also begun to be enriched. The war horses in the city are good to take care of, and the family will also need to form a horse riding team in the future, so there is no need to worry about the war horses! As for the other horses that cannot be used as war horses, you can select some scouts and heralds from the horses to be assigned to your family, and the rest of the horses will be used to haul supplies. Soji Tsugawa thought for a while and said.

"Hi"

"Mabei, let's talk about the situation of the Rokugo family." Seeing that there was nothing more to ask about farming, Soji Tsugawa turned to Kuroda Iekane and said.

"My lord! Liuxiang Shengwu's two young sons were placed in a village outside the city of Liuxiang and were cared for by the daughters of the Liuxiang family. Shigeto-sama would give them money and food every month to meet their daily needs. ”

"Well, take good care of Rokugo Katsutake's children and keep them safe," Tsugawa Soji said to Kuroda Iekane. It's just that whether this protection is really protection or surveillance depends on whether the clansmen of the Liuxiang family are safe enough.

"Takahashi-sama, what's the situation in Pinglu County?" Soji Tsugawa then said to Takahashi Kokoku.

It was the first time for Takahashi Xingguo to participate in the evaluation of the Tsugawa family, and the brave generals on the battlefield actually looked a little nervous at this moment.

"My lord! When his subordinates and Komura-sama attacked the two houses, Matsumoto Juntaka abandoned Matsumoto Castle and entered Tanaka Castle in an attempt to gather the forces of the two families to defend Matsumoto Castle. However, the family's Ashigaru fought bravely, and Matsumoto Castle was eventually captured by the family. After the fall of the castle, when his subordinates stormed Matsumoto Castle, the castle tower of Matsumoto Castle was already on fire. Matsumoto Juntaka has already been seppuku, and the family members of the Matsumoto family have been killed by Matsumoto Juntaka beforehand," Takahashi replied.

"What about Tanaka Jinyoshi?"

"My lord! Tanaka Kiyoshi was also executed below, and his head was placed in front of his brother's grave. Togo Yoshiyu said.

"Okay, the two families have been destroyed, and the family has no worries for the time being."

"What is the stone height and population in the Shimonoyama area?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

"My lord! The area around Mt. Shimono is mostly mountainous, and in the past, Takahashi Castle was 300 stone high, Togo Castle was 840 stone high, and Matsumoto Castle and Tanaka Castle combined had more than 700 stone heights," Takahashi replied.

"So, the Pinglu County family still has about 2,000 stones?" Soji Tsugawa said happily.

"Hey!" Takahashi Kokoku said, "And after the family occupied the territory of the Rokugo family, the land of Shimonoyama was already connected with the family. This is also conducive to the family's domination of the western part of Pinglu County! Kokoku Takahashi replied.

"Yes, that's the best!"

Soji Tsugawa said: "In the area of Shimonoyama, the original Matsumoto Castle and Tanaka Castle were all demolished, and the original territory was divided into Togo Castle and Takahashi Castle. This also facilitates the management of Shimonoyama land. I'll leave this to Takahashi-sama and Omura-sama Yoshikei."

"Hi," Kohashi Kokoku and Komura Yoshiki hurriedly replied.

"My lord! The territory of the family has expanded several times, and the original family law (samurai law, that is, the national law) is no longer suitable for the family, and the next family should formulate a new family law to facilitate the development of the family," Togo Yoshiyu said to Tsugawa Soji.

"Well, what Togo-sama said is right, let's work together with Togo-sama and Saigo-sama to formulate a new law," Tsugawa Soji said in agreement.

"Hi"

Soji Tsugawa saw that the report was almost complete, and the next thing was the post-war reward. After all, after a series of battles, meritorious retainers must also be rewarded.
