Ina Tadashi replied, "It directly means that the land is burned and weeded after autumn, fertilized before winter to maintain soil fertility, and the land can be sown directly in spring the next year, and indirectly it takes one to five more years to treat the desertification of the land." ”

"Is there anything more indirect?" Honjo frowned.

Nobuyuki Matsui nodded and said, "Yes! In our planning, it is indirectly divided into one to two years, three to five years, eight to ten years, twenty years, fifty years, and several longer levels, which are currently the easiest to start with, and the most difficult to improve for the time being. ”

"Fifty years? No way! The samurai shouted impossible, as far as they could see, they had never heard of such a sensational thing.

"Alright! This item will be put on hold for the next one. "A certain tiger tooth girl is wandering outside the world and doesn't pay attention to what everyone is talking about, as the actual host of the assessment meeting, he needs to master the rhythm of the assessment meeting, so he can only stop this topic first.

"Yes! Next is the issue of sowing new grain in the seven counties. Hosokawa Fujitaka picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat, and continued: "The total amount of cultivated land for sowing potatoes, corn, and pumpkins in the seven counties is 5,000 steps, and there are 200 steps for sugar beet planting, and several other types of seeds are ignored. ”

"What about population growth?"

"From March last year to March this year, the seven prefectures of Echigo added 65,000 people, of whom more than 52,000 were refugees and migrants from the Kanto countries and Shinano and other places, and more than 13,000 were newly borns, and 9,677 people died. About one-fifth of these deaths are due to unnatural deaths such as disasters and wars. ”

"What about the total population?"

"The total population is about 378,961 people."

Kira Yoshitoki approving: "The statistics are very detailed. Thank you very much! ”

"Last year's grain production was 640,000 stones! This year, it will increase to more than 1 million stones! Echigo will live better in the future. Please work hard! ”

"We will do our best to assist the Martial Guard Palace!" Hundreds of people bowed down at the same time.

……

After the evaluation meeting, the internal evaluation of the Kira family, Honjo Shiranaga, Hojo Takahiro, and Kurokawa Kiyomi attended as observers, and the three of them looked east and west to see how excited they were, and the samurai of the Kira family were accustomed to it, unlike the big assessment to sit in two factions, they all gathered together and sat cross-legged and talked quietly.

"Knock knock!" Kira Yoshitoki came out and tapped the case with the handle of the folding fan: "Let's talk about it!" The specifics of land improvement. ”

"The current situation is that we need to introduce some grass seeds, and we currently lack the available grass seeds to improve the problem of desertification. Therefore, the effect of land improvement is not very good. Thinking of the troubles encountered, the followers frowned.

"Wait a minute, I'll think about it!" He remembered that he had seen some things before and knew what was going on, that is, he planted several kinds of pasture, and he didn't know exactly what kind of pasture: "I know that there is a kind of forage grass in Mingguo, I don't remember what it is called, and there is also a kind of forage grass in the Americas...... That's right! How did I forget! Grow alfalfa! The root system of alfalfa is well developed! That's right, it's him! ”

Matsui Yukan wondered: "Alfalfa grass? It seems that the root system is very well developed, but is it really okay? ”

"Absolutely! Order that all dikes, river banks, and highly salty dry lagoons can be planted with alfalfa! There is no shortage of rain throughout the year, and alfalfa is also cold and drought tolerant, but you must pay attention to fertilization. Just ask the nearby farmers to apply some fertilizer. ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka picked up a pen and paper and wrote it down, before saying, "Understood!" We'll do it right away! ”

"Your Excellency! It's ready over there. "Langgang has no beginning and no end, and it is inexplicable. Honjo Fan looked at this guy suspiciously, remembering that he seemed to have seen this person in the Mogami army, and the others did not react at all, still preparing to speak, and he could only suppress the curiosity in his heart.

"According to the test, the rainfall in the past month is low, and His Majesty suggested speeding up the construction of water conservancy facilities."

"Both paddy and dry fields are inseparable from water and require a lot of irrigation."

"The layout of the watermills near Sekigawa has been completed, and the Shinano River and Agano River are also being deployed."

A group of practitioners came up with their own suggestions, and at the end of the line, they also saw Mitsui Takayasu, who had not been seen for a long time, and this year's fourteen-year-old Mitsui Takayasu has three years of work experience as a commissioner, starting from the beginning of serving tea, pouring water, sweeping the floor and other chores, step by step to become the best appraiser in the main store of Sakamoto money, and last year he was dropped into the clerk's study shorthand, in the words of Matsui Yukan, this is a very smart child who knows how to use his talents.

"Then let's do it!" After the decision was made, the followers bowed their heads and prepared other materials, and Kira Yoshishi pointed out the name of the Nine Ghosts and asked, "How is the development of the water army?" What about inland rivers. ”

"The survey of several major rivers in Echigo has been completed, but there are no inland rivers in the seven prefectures of Echigo, and the Himegawa, Sekigawa, Shinano, Agano River, Arakawa, Kaji River, and the Seba River on the northern border have all been controlled."

"There are no enemies in the inland rivers, but the open sea is still impossible to master, right? The Sado Navy of the Honma family? The bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die. Kira sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The Honma family relied on Sado Island, far away from Echigo, and has always been very close to Yangbeizhong, whether it is the era of the long tail for the view, or the era of the long tail of the tiger is to rely on an ambiguous attitude to mix, relying on the advantage of the naval army has been rampant and domineering in the Echigo Sea, and the long tail family has always been based on appeasement.

In the past, the Nagao family didn't care about any business development, and if they could collect taxes, they didn't care about anything else, and it didn't matter if they were robbed by the Sado Navy again, but Kira Yoshitoki couldn't let it go, and the existence of this group of tumors was simply a big problem for the Kira family, not to mention the gold and silver on Sado Island, this group of colorless pirates should be killed.

"The Ataku ship can be imitated soon, and there will be a large increase in the navy at that time, and His Majesty respectfully asks the pavilion master to approve the expansion of the navy."

"Exactly! Let's set the quota at 1,500 people first! ”

"Yes!" The nine ghosts bowed heavily and took the order.

……

On March 22, two dusty samurai sat in the hall in the Kai Tsugasaki Museum. On both sides of the Takeda family is a genealogy. In front of Harunobu Takeda, potatoes, corn, and pumpkin were placed. Hatari Harunobu was holding a handful of corn kernels in his hand, and he was thinking carefully about what was going on.

"My lord! This is Echigo's new grain? What a strange thing! Fan Fu Huchang pinched his beard and asked, "Is this little thing really as magical as the legend?" ”

"According to the penetrated information, this is true, and according to the latest information, Echigo produced 640,000 koku of grain last year." Masatake Komai gently reported a few numbers, which immediately made the Kai warriors exclaim, no one could continue to remain calm, and Zhujiao Huding repeated in a trembling voice: "Six hundred and forty thousand stones...... 640,000 stones! How much was Echigo before? ”

"A few years ago, the height of the stone was estimated to be 391,000 stones." Mitsuken Nagasaka reported accurate figures, as a member of the Shinano Ogasawara clan. He himself and the Nagasaka Nobumasa family were born in the same family, but their branch has served as the elder of the Takeda family tree for generations, and they are also one of the few representatives who are willing to be Takeda Harunobu Naobu who does not engage in factions.

"Does this increase the production of 250,000 stones? What an exaggerated number! Imai Sagami Shonobufu, who had always been silent, suddenly opened his eyes, bowed down earnestly and said: "Lord, this is really an opportunity for God to bless my Takeda family, why worry about my Takeda family's great business with this grain?" ”

"I respectfully ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible!" More than 100 people bowed down and bowed.

"Uh-huh! These crops should be planted! Takeda Harunobu nodded with a smile, and praised the two people kneeling in the hall: "The Great Bear Beiqian Guarding Hall and the Castle Weaving Hall have worked hard!" The two of them did not hesitate to go against the Nagao family again and again for my Takeda family, and they also stole Echigo's secret grain seeds, which can be described as a huge credit! ”

"Your Majesty doesn't dare!" Da Xiong Chaoxiu and Cheng Zhengzi hurriedly leaned over.

"Alas! Merit is merit, and such a great merit is not rewarded. How will the world view my Takeda family in the future? Hehehe...... "The ministers laughed a few times, and Takeda Harunobu understood his temperament. No one will be stupid enough to talk too much at this time, and after the retainers praised him, he slowly said: "The two of you have made great contributions to my Takeda family, and the rule of my Takeda family is that merit must be rewarded, so the two of them will each be rewarded with two hundred taels of gold!" ”

"Thank you for your grace!"

"Since the territory of Bizen Mamoru and Weaving Cloth Yu in Echigo has been taken away, then the difference in territory will be made up by the family! Okuma Beizen Shouzhixing 500 kan, Joori Fuyu executed 200 kan, served as the head of the main family, how about the territory of Shinano Saku? ”

"Thank you, my lord, I will always remember my lord's kindness!" The two bowed excitedly, Takeda Harunobu was very satisfied with his wrist and made a gesture with a smile, and the two little surnames came over and led the two to the annex to rest, as new participants, they were not qualified to participate in the evaluation meeting of the spectrum level.

After the two left, Takeda Harunobu grabbed the corn seed again and pondered, and after a long while, he ordered: "Let Toupo find out what is going on with Echigo?" Why an increase of 250,000 stones? Why? ”

"Yes!" A samurai quietly got up from the back of the line and left.

"Is the lord worried about Echigo?" Nobuaki asked suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"I don't know...... I'm not sure either! I just don't feel very sure. Takeda Harunobu frowned and said nothing, he didn't know where this feeling came from, he couldn't say that he thought it was all going too smoothly so something was wrong, right?

There is no problem with the origins of the big bear Chaoxiu and Cheng Zhengzi, since it is not a fraud or a joint venture with the Nagao family, from last year to this year, they rebelled three times in a row, and they obeyed the command of the Takeda family with one mind, and for this reason, they also put the lives of all their family members into it, and the two who were eager to take revenge at the beginning of this year returned to their original territory after being pardoned, and they couldn't wait to defect at the beginning of this month when they got a new grain seed, and this loyalty is nothing more than that.

Masatake Komai pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that the lord means that there is a problem with this big bear preparation and the city weaving?" ”

"No, this family is not like this." Takeda Harunobu frowned and pondered, and after a while, he suddenly shook his head with a smile and said, "Maybe I'm too careful!" It's not too late to sow these seeds, and I'll leave the rest to you! ”

"I'll understand!" The genealogies of the Takeda family smiled, including the Koyamada family and the Anayama family, who had not spoken all this time, and immediately laughed. (To be continued......)
