Maori Yuan's action this time is indeed a good calculation. Before entering the territory of the Luo family this time, Mao Liyuan deliberately let this team of envoys make a big show along the way, for fear that others would not know that they were going to the Luo family.

And the main reason for such fanfare is indeed to let the world know that they have entered the territory of the Luo family, in this case, it is equivalent to adding a talisman to this team, if there is any mistake after entering the territory of the Luo family, then the Maori family will use this as an excuse to loudly promote the false benevolence and righteousness of the Luo family to the outside world (not merciful at all, and will kill the messengers of all parties at will).

If in the past, Masahiro really wouldn't be afraid of this kind of trick to blackmail you in righteousness, but at this time, the Luo family is going through the country of Bigo, using various relatively peaceful ways to win over the local wealthy families in the country of Bigo, if the envoy of the Maori family into the territory of the Luo family is missing, then the country of Bigo and even the more distant countries of China, Bizen country, Meisaku and other places will have a problem with the Luo family, and they will not believe in the promises made by the Luo family.

In addition, the Mori family would take the opportunity to attack the reputation of the Luo family, thus reversing the bad situation in which the Luo family occupied Mihara Castle, the gateway connecting Bigo Province and Aki Province, and the Ichijo Mountain Castle along the coast of Bigo Province, and a large number of local wealthy families in Bigo Province, who were originally subordinated to the Mori family, have made changes and even secretly surrendered to the Luo family.

Mao Liyuan knew that the Luo family was in this special period, even if its envoy took the opportunity to make small moves in the Luo family's territory, he would not do it lightly, so he would take advantage of this opportunity to make some small moves to the Luo family.

But Maori Yuan really thought wrong this time. He analyzed the reaction that Masahiro would make from the perspective of a Sengoku person. But Masato is a modern person from later generations in his bones. Therefore, it will not fully follow the rules of the Warring States period, so Mao Liyuan is destined to be unable to obtain the medical support of the Luo family this time, and those personnel sent by him to enter the Luo family's territory as envoys to search for information everywhere are also doomed.

After being sent away by Masaara, the Maori envoy returned to the temporary accommodation provided for him by the Luo family, at this time he did not know that they had been closely monitored by the black eagle of the Luo family, so after a little cover-up, he secretly left the residence that night under the cover of the sky and came to a secret wooden house nearby.

At this time. A large retinue of people he had brought with him, as well as the Maori family who had been lurking in the local area, gradually gathered here from all over the neighborhood.

"Let's talk about it, what have you found out?" The Maori envoy asked.

A middle-aged man dressed in civilian clothes immediately stood up (this person had been lurking in the local Maori family before), bowed to the Maori family envoy and said: "In the capacity of an ordinary leader, I have visited the Luo family's institutions in various places, such as the Internal Affairs Pavilion and the Military Recruitment Office. There was a slight pause, and then four words burst out, "Impressed." ”

"Oh? Tell me, what's impressive? The body of the Maori envoy was now leaning forward slightly, obviously interested in the topic.

"Efficiency!" The middle-aged man said affirmatively: "Almost all the institutions of the Luo family in various places will be concentrated on one street, although I only went to a few of them. But I also got a little glimpse of some other institutions. What shocked Zai Xia was the efficiency of their work, without delay, without embarrassment, and the speed of handling some of the affairs detected in Xia Xia was several times that of similar institutions in our Maori family. ”

"How many times?" The Maori envoy sat up straight in shock, in his impression, the Maori family's institutions have always been good, could it be that the Luo family's institutions are more effective than the Maori family?

"The second is discipline." The middle-aged man continued: "Although our Maori family also pays attention to discipline, as long as we are willing to find a way and are willing to bid money, we can still easily find out the news from our territory, but in the Luo family, ordinary retainers must not approach to explore information, otherwise they will inevitably be arrested on the spot. And because of this, he was also wanted and pursued by the Luo family several times, and was obviously reported by the ordinary people, if it wasn't for the alert, I am afraid that he would have become a slave of the Luo family in building roads in various places with the meticulous work of many forces lurking in the territory of the Luo family. Here is also a reminder to everyone, in the Luo family, do not lightly contact the ordinary people to inquire about the news, otherwise they will be reported, and in the Luo family, there will be a lot of rewards after the report is successful. ”

"The third is self-confidence. I have been in the Luo family for a long time, and I have talked to many of their retainers in various territories and ordinary people, they are very confident in the strength of the Luo family, and many young people are still working hard to become the retainers of the Luo family. ”

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the expression on the face of the Maori envoy slowly became a little grim at this time.

And the middle-aged man sat down, and another person dressed in a merchant's uniform stood up under him (this person is also a small work lurking in the local area): "I was ordered to investigate the market commercial transactions in the Luo family's territory, and the commercial activities in the Luo family's territory are extremely prosperous, especially in the Kyushu region, where the Luo family first occupied the Hizen country, Chikugo country, Chikuzen country and other places. The goods here include almost all the qiē things in the Warring States period, and the prices are fair, all of which are clear and real, and it is found that more than sixty percent of the commercial activities here are controlled by the Roche House. The Roche House is a relatively tight business alliance under the control of the Roche family, and the merchants are all over the world, including merchants in our Maori family's territory. The rest are mostly ordinary merchants who are ordinary merchants, and the Luo family levies a heavier tax on commerce, twice as much as our Maori family. But the merchants did not have any complaints. I inquired about a local general merchant in the lower area. Although the Luo family levied heavy taxes on them. But as long as they have the proof of paying their taxes, they don't have to pay any other fees in any area under the jurisdiction of the Luo family, so that their actual expenses are calculated. In fact, it is lighter than the burden of the family's territory. ”

"This is one thing, and the other is that there is no need to pay for any of the local farmers of the Luo family to go to the local trade market to sell anything. There are no booth fees here. There is no protection money, the law and order situation is excellent, and the Luo family seems to have intended to use this policy to encourage ordinary people to participate in territorial commerce, so that in some places such as Hizen and Chikugo countries, the Luo family even did not leave any stone unbroken and did not close their doors at night. ”

After listening to the merchant's report, the messenger of the Maori family nodded with a heavy face.

The third person stood up: "I am responsible for investigating the situation of the ordinary people, and most of the Luo family's territories are villages headed by the Luo family's disabled retired soldiers. These villages are very militant, and each village has a contingent that they call 'militia'. There are martial arts training grounds in the village, although the Luo family has implemented a knife hunting order, but ordinary bamboo guns and other weapons can be blatantly placed in the martial arts training field, and these militia will regularly conduct military training under the leadership of the village head in charge of military training in the village every month. Moreover, there are schools in each village, and children of school age must enter the school to study with the teachers who are called gentlemen, otherwise both parents will be punished. Another point is that they found that they were learning a strange language and script, and it seemed that the Luo family intended to promote a script and language that was unique to them in their territory. ”

When the Maori envoy heard this, he couldn't help asking, "What is the life of those disabled veterans?" ”

The third person bowed down and said: "Disabled veterans will receive a considerable amount of bereavement benefits when they leave the army, and after returning home, part of the fields they own are Yongye fields obtained because of military merits (Previously, in the law of the Luo family, all the fields were required to pay taxes, but as some of the retainers in the family obtained more and more military merits, the scale of the territory obtained by using military merits soon reached the limit of the scale limited by the law of the Luo family, so according to the law of the Luo family, In the future, they will only be able to use military merits to obtain other rewards such as food, coins, etc., but this will also limit the enthusiasm of some people to strive for military merits, so Zhengliang united several departments of the family to adjust the law, although it still maintains the maximum size of the land owned by all members of the family, but adds the concept of Yongye field, allowing retainers to obtain a corresponding proportion of tax-exempt fields in the fields they already own, without paying taxes. And these disabled soldiers also hold different functions, for example, they become the head of the village and are responsible for training militiamen, children, etc., so these people's lives are better than ordinary people. ”

"The child also participates in military training?" The Maori envoy asked in shock.

"Yes, the children study in the morning and in the afternoon follow the village head in charge of the village's military training for general military training. They call it the Boy Scouts. ”

The Maori envoy nodded, "In this way, these people will inevitably become the most loyal supporters of the Luo family, but have you ever visited those villages made up of homeless people?" ”

"I've been there, I found out that there is a village composed of homeless people who came to live in the Luo family's territory from their own family's territory, and the village leaders of this village are also elected from these homeless people, so I went there, and my heart is from my family's territory, and I may be able to find out some of the most authentic news." He glanced at the Maori envoy with some embarrassment, "As soon as they heard that Zai Xia was an exile from the Maori family, they invited Zai Xia to stay, but when they said that they still cherished the Maori family, they immediately blasted Xia out of the village, and they refused to admit that they were from the Maori family, and only called themselves members of the Luo family." But fortunately, they read that they were from the same place, and did not report Xia as a suspicious stranger to the local agency of the Luo family, otherwise Xia would also be wanted and pursued. ”

The Maori envoy's face showed an angry look, "Forget your ancestors. You just gave up? ”

"No, after being evicted, I went to another village not far from this village, and found out about the formation of a village by some of these displaced people. When they first arrived, they all had nothing, and the Roche family used the strange method of funding called 'interest-free loans' to build houses for them, and even distributed public farming cattle, farm tools and other materials, and most importantly, gave them land, and the price of these things was also sold to them in the form of 'interest-free loans', which could be repaid in installments. The first people to come to Luo's house had completely paid off the loan at this time, and now these lands, houses, and livestock are already their own. In these villages built by displaced people, under normal circumstances, the Luo family will send two village heads, one is a retired soldier, and the other is a person who graduated from the Luo family's Luo Academy and can read and write to serve as the village head, and the other management methods are the same as those mentioned before. ”

After this person finished talking about his situation, some people continued to report the information they had discovered. And as everyone continued to describe, the eyes of the Maori envoy really became more and more solemn.

At this time, the candles in the wooden house flickered, and the light and flickered in the wooden house, which also set off the uncertain face of the Maori envoy in the wooden house, and everyone had already finished reporting the information, so at this time the wooden house was quiet, and the Maori envoy and the rest of the people were thinking silently.

There was a crisp snap and the explosion of sparks, which made the dead wooden house more angry, and the Maori envoy looked up at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

It was only after the Maori envoy spoke, everyone remained silent, and after feeling a little disappointed, he could only speak himself: "It is undeniable that while Luo Zhengliang has a strong army, the people under his rule are much better off than those under our Maori family. That's why the Maori who fled are reluctant to admit that they are Maori and consider themselves Roche. ”

"How did they do that?" Some of the attendants who followed him looked at the Maori envoy in confusion and asked.

"They provide all kinds of conveniences to the people under their rule, especially that strange 'interest-free loan'." The Maori emissary responded.

"But, my lord, isn't this entirely a loss-making business?" Someone said the biggest question in his mind.
