"The New Book of the Law", this is the name given by Soji Tsugawa. It is clearly stated that only the rules and regulations mentioned in the new book of the Tsugawa family exist, and everyone must abide by them.

The first part of the law is about the land and the people.

Article 1: The agricultural tax system of six public and four people shall be implemented in the territory, and the land owned by each peasant household must be truthfully reported and registered. If there is any concealment of the true situation or false declaration of land, once verified, all land will be confiscated. Surveys will be carried out within the territory every 5 years.

Article 2: Land is not allowed to be bought and sold without permission, and the population within the territory cannot be moved without authorization.

Article 3: Those who have lived in the territory for three years are permanent residents, and each household can enjoy the agricultural tax of six public and four people. If you have not lived for 3 years, you will pay agricultural tax according to 8 gongs and 2 people.

Article 4: Encourage the migration of people from other places, and give a certain amount of rations and land according to the capitation of the population (or self-cultivation).

Article 5: Excluding the agricultural tax and the rest of the miscellaneous taxes other than the commercial tax, but only for the permanent population.

Article 6: Peasant households whose male members participate in the standing standing tax may be reduced by half every year.

Article 9: It is forbidden to marry with people from other countries (other powers), and the whole family will be reduced to slavery.

The above is the first part for the people who have already claimed the land. The second part deals with the military aspects as follows

Article 1: The subjects in the territory are not allowed to hide weapons privately, and those who possess weapons must hand them over to the lord in the nearest city and pay compensation according to the market price. Those who participated in the training of peasant soldiers were allowed to keep only one weapon per household, and a register was to be made.

Article 2: Standing ashigaru provides 3 stone of rice per person per year. When the peasants were training, the lord provided rations.

Article 3: All food in time of war shall be provided by the lord.

Article 4: Ordinary ashigaru generals who have made meritorious contributions to combat have the opportunity to serve as the lower level samurai of their own family, and they can prepare their own knives and equipment, or they can buy them at a low price like the lord.

Article 5: In addition to the pension, the ashigaru who died in battle in time of war shall be paid. The family can reduce or exempt a certain amount of agricultural tax, calculated according to 5 public and 5 people, and enjoy it for 3 years. If you have minor children, you can receive 1 stone of rice every year until they reach adulthood or get married.

Article 6: If you are seriously injured during the war and are unable to participate in agricultural work (e.g. disabled, missing arms and legs), you can receive 2 koku of rice per year for daily necessities until the end of the fifth year of adulthood of your children.

Article 7: All the spoils of war shall be confiscated and distributed by the lord. Those who secretly possess war booty shall have their income confiscated and their families shall not enjoy the corresponding agricultural tax exemption and exemption for 10 years.

......

The above are the military regulations, and the third part is about the day-to-day laws.

Article 1: Whoever trespasses into a private house without permission, the head of the household may kill without sin. It means that those who kill those who trespass into their houses without permission are not guilty.

Article 2: Theft, robbery, etc. shall be a capital offense.

Article 3: Rewards will be given for reports such as detectives and ninjas who have discovered enemy forces. On the contrary, if you secretly harbor a person who harbors an enemy country, the whole family will be beheaded.

......

Finally, on the part of the retainers, the rules are as follows

Article 1: The lord gives the retainer the knowledge and action, and the lord has the obligation to ensure the safety and legitimacy of the retainer's land and property. Retainers have the obligation to defend the lord's house and fight for the lord's house.

Article 2: A lord who is fighting outside the country or who has been given Zhixing shall place his family in the main city and live in a unified manner.

......

The above content is divided into 4 parts, a total of more than 120 articles, involving all aspects of the Tsugawa family. Some of these things would not have appeared at all in the Warring States period, and Soharu Tsugawa came up with some ideas of his own, and Togo Yoshisuke and others snorted Hideaki.

The entire "New Book of Fadu" is adapted to the development needs of the Tsugawa family for a long time to come. It not only guarantees the self-interest of the people, but also protects the interests of the ashigaru. Other systems also provided rules and regulations for retainers, peasants, etc., to restrain their behavior, which was a good thing for the Tsugawa family.

In general, many regulations and policies were confirmed by Hodo, and the people were able to quickly settle down, which facilitated the development of the Tsugawa family in the future. Of course, no matter how good the law is, there are loopholes that can be exploited, and these can only be solved when problems arise in the future. But in general, as soon as such regulations are issued, the development of the Tsugawa family will improve rapidly.

Tsugawa Soji looked at Togo Yoshisuke and the others below, and said loudly: "Everyone, this law will be officially implemented from tomorrow, and the specific matters will be left to you." Togo Yoshiyu, transcribed a few more copies and distributed them to various cities. Make sure that everyone knows the new testimonies of their house. ”

"Hi"

"Also, how is the family's Ashigaru recruiting going?" Soji Tsugawa asked.

Chief Saigo hurriedly replied, "My lord, the conscription work is currently proceeding smoothly. His subordinates in other places don't know much about it, but in the area of Kakuroyama Castle, 70 new standing ashigaru people have been recruited, and the rest of the peasant soldiers are also training after the autumn harvest. ”

"Well, the territory of this family has expanded, and the corresponding troops must also increase. Togo Yoshiyu, when notifying Xinfadu, also informed the various city lords and city generations to increase the conscription of standing ashigaru. Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

Togo Yoshisuke retorted: "My lord, such a large-scale conscription is not conducive to the development of the family's agriculture, and it will also increase the consumption of food."

Tsugawa Soji shook his head and said, "The situation is different now, the family already has more than 20,000 to 30,000 stone heights, and has maintained a considerable number of standing ashigaru troops. And the family has risen in a short period of time, and it will definitely face the invasion of other wealthy clans in the future, if you don't take the opportunity to increase your troops, will you wait for the enemy to come and then recruit troops? ”

Soji Tsugawa paused for a moment, and then said, "To fight, you can't rely on peasant soldiers alone. The last time Nagano Castle was fought, the family suffered heavy damage. Isn't it because the family's army is dominated by peasant soldiers? If it weren't for the fact that one of them was too light, the family would not be able to withstand the military strength of the Hu Ze family. Otherwise, before the news of Anton's troops came, Nagano Castle would have fallen. In this way, where is the opportunity for the family to take the opportunity to rise and bring the entire Nanxian North County under its rule in one fell swoop? ”

Indeed, what Soji Tsugawa said triggered the thoughts of Yoshisuke Togo and others. At this time, some small wealthy families were not aware of the benefits of standing alight. It wasn't until later that Oda Nobunaga set up a military force in the world, and he realized that Ashigaru's combat power was not built up by the number of peasants alone.

"Hey, Your Majesty will definitely bring the words of the lord." Togo Yoshiyu suddenly replied loudly.

"Well, that's it for this assessment. It is up to you to promulgate and enforce the law in the future," said Soharu Tsugawa with a smile. Togo Yoshiyu and others also nodded yes.

Soji Tsugawa looked at the sky outside Taishou, but his heart was not calm. "The eleventh year of astronomy (1542) is approaching, and there will be so many great events in this year that I don't have much time left."
