In the early morning of the second day, a ray of sunlight shone in through the window, and Masahiro opened his eyes slightly. Last night, Masahiro and Togo Ju went crazy all night, considering that Kikuhime was new to personnel, Masayo also deliberately restrained, but Juji was still unbearable and was still asleep.

Gently kissing Kikuhime's face, Masarashi quietly got up and began to get dressed, and today there was a retainer assessment to be held, and Masarashi had to leave the charming tatami mat.

"Temple... Your Highness, let the concubine dress for you" came the shy voice of Togo Ju behind him. It seems that Ju Ji was still woken up.

Masarashi turned around and saw a charming ketone body that was extremely attractive in the sun. Masara walked over to the tatami mat and sat down, leaned over to hold Kikuhime's chin, and said, "You better have a good rest." Thank you for your hard work last night. ”

"Your Highness... Hmm", Togo Ju still wanted to struggle to get up, but his small mouth was gently kissed by Masaara, and he was speechless for a while.

After kissing for a full quarter of an hour, Masahiro relented, and then while his hands roamed over Ju Ji's body, he whispered to Ju Ji, who had fallen into a state of confusion, "There will be a few little maids coming to the mansion today, you can arrange it then, and you won't have to do the work of the next few people in the future." Kikuhime gasped several times in response. Masara couldn't hold back any longer, turned over and pressed Kikuhime under him again......

After having a good time with Kikuhime again, Masarashi hurried to the council hall of Nimaru. In the council hall, all the retainers near Notaka Mountain had already arrived, and even Kosuke rushed back. In fact, he had already escorted the supplies to Tashiro Town on the eastern side of Notaka Mountain last night (the original Tashiro Castle had been demolished and changed to a town), and early this morning, Kosuke transported the supplies back to the warehouse of the lord's mansion.

Masahiro walked quickly to the main seat in the center of the council hall and sat down, and all the retainers saluted one after another.

"His Highnesses" Togo Heiji, Onishi Kuniji, and Tsuda Hiromune are all performing the tasks of the lord in other parts of the territory, so the most fortunate suke who has the highest position here is the first to speak, "The materials traded with the Kamiya family and the materials brought back from Hakata have been moved into the warehouse, and the main family has handed over all the snow salt for this month to the Kamiya family, and Kizo-sama is looking for people to participate in the specific sale." His Royal Highness also brought back a few small surnames and maids. ”

"Well, you can go to the warehouse and take out the coins you need to buy this time, and hand them over to the Kamiya family when the time comes," Masarashi said.

Although there is no supervision of Togo Ju this time, Masara is not worried about the Kosuke Association guarding and stealing, in fact, Kosuke has secretly been called "Iron Rooster" by other retainers, and he will definitely not waste a coin belonging to the lord casually, "Those little surnames and maids will be directly brought to the inner pill and arranged by the lady." As for the sick woman, I will ask Master Xuanru in Notaka Village to treat her for the time being, and when she recovers, she will be a subordinate of the lord's mansion. ”

"In addition, the armor and weapons that have been purchased will be given priority to the samurai and the first team," Masarashi continued. The Cloaks, the Junior Samurai, and the First Foot Light Team will be the main force of the military operation in August, so it is important to get them used to the use of armor as soon as possible.

For the requirements of Zhengliang, Xingsuke bowed down to receive the order.

"Your Highness," Kosuke finished reporting, and Yubei, who replaced Shinsuke in charge of the construction of the lord's mansion, said, "After two months of repairs, the lord's mansion has been basically completed. The garden behind the mansion, Chungkaoji Temple in Notaka Village, and the Luo School are currently under construction. ”

"The garden can be slowed down for a while, and the manpower will be increased to complete the construction of Chungkao Temple and Luo's Academy," Masato said.

These two places are the main temple where the Luo family worships the gods and ancestors, and the other is an important place for the culture and loyalty education of the people, so they cannot be delayed. …,

"In terms of workshops, due to the need for construction, the original output of cement and burned bricks can no longer keep up with the needs of construction. The copper mine can now smelt hundreds of catties of copper a month, and since the copper seized in the warehouse was sold to the Bodai family, the family now has thousands of catties of copper in storage," Yubei continued to report.

"Increase the scale of the workshop, recruit more people, and let the people start using bricks and cement to build their own houses, and also include the use of these materials in road and water conservancy construction," said Masashi. ”

"Your Highness, are the materials of burning bricks and cement distributed to the people for free?" Kosuke asked. The use of these materials on such a large scale would inevitably consume a lot of the territory's food reserves, and he had to advise him.

"No, it is a way of selling, and the lords can buy it with coins, or they can offset it by participating in forced labor, and the transportation problems are also solved by the lords themselves," Masari said. It is certain that all the subjects will use the form of conscription to procure these supplies, which will not only provide relief to the people, but also speed up the construction of the territory.

"Your Highness is wise" Kosuke suddenly thought of the power of Masato's policy, and couldn't help but praise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the territory has gradually entered the right track, and the scope of the territory has increased a lot, so I am ready to allow trading within the territory," Masarashi said, citing the important issues of this assessment.

"Your Highness, do you plan to allow outside merchants to enter your family's territory?" Kosuke asked.

For the purpose of keeping the territory secret and the production technology, the Luo family has always adopted a blockade policy to strictly prevent people from entering the territory at will, and once they enter, they basically can't go out of the Luo family's territory again.

"No, the policy of only entering but not exiting still needs to be strictly enforced," Zhengliang said, "but from today onwards, all checkpoints within the Luo family's territory will be cancelled, and internal tolls will no longer be charged, only the commercial tax will be collected, and the commercial tax will be one in twenty." ”

There are not too many objections to the policy of Zhengliang, in fact, there are no checkpoints in the Luo family's territory, and no one is doing business for the time being. Therefore, this time Zhengliang is just clarifying the policy again.

"Encourage the people in the territory to carry out all kinds of trade independently, but the trade of grain and salt can only be carried out by the territory" These two things are related to the stability of the territory, and Masahiro is ready to support the merchants of a territory to operate, "Yubei, arrange for some people to expand the flat land outside the entrance of the canyon, and then build a few houses for merchants to sell supplies. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Your Majesty will go to the platoon at once," said Yubei.

"Well, let's have a grain store, a salt shop, an ironsmith shop, a wood shop, and a market for the time being. These shops mainly serve as an example for the people to dispel their concerns, and for the time being, they are all operated by the territory," Masato said after thinking about it. Grain stores and salt shops mainly sell some grain and salt, while iron shops and wood shops mainly sell some agricultural tools, and the last market is Masato to allow the people to sell fruits, vegetables, fish, or exchange for what they need, and the territory provides certification in the process.
