At the end of July of the third year of Eiroku (1560 AD), under the personal leadership of Masayo's son-in-law, Luo clan Huiliang, after nearly a year of rectification and development, the southern Kyushu area newly occupied by the Luo family last year was finally settled.

During this period, with the implementation of the Luo family law in southern Kyushu, it naturally caused a lot of commotion, so that Luo Huiliang had to quickly issue an order for bloody suppression, thus setting off a bloody storm in the local area. Of course, the people who participated in the commotion were mainly the local wealthy clans and temple and shrine forces, and as for the general public, who accounted for the largest proportion, it was because the Luo family's law was extremely beneficial to them, so they became the biggest supporters of the Luo family.

With the continuous deepening of the Luo family's law in the hearts of the people, with the efforts of Luo Huiliang and various institutions of the Luo family, since the second half of this year, the local turmoil has long disappeared completely, especially with the relocation of a large number of local wealthy forces to the Luo family's territory outside southern Kyushu, and a large number of Luo family's other areas of the household have migrated in, the entry of retainers who have become new lords in some areas of southern Kyushu due to rewards, and the settlement of a steady stream of displaced people from outside the Luo family's territory. All of this completely changed the original pattern of southern Kyushu, so that the southern Kyushu region was finally gradually integrated into the ruling system of the Luo family.

As a result, thanks to the efforts of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, the land inspection work of the Satsuma Province, Osumi Province and Hyuga Province in Southern Kyushu has finally come to fruition, and Togo Heiji, who is the ruler of the Cabinet of the Luo Family, naturally has to report to Masayo.

"My lord. After this land inspection. At present, the Cabinet of the Interior has made a preliminary assessment. The total income of Minami-Kyushu Satsuma Province is about 280,000 koku, Osumi Province is about 170,000 koku, and Hyuga Province is also about 170,000 koku. The above is the income situation of Minami Kyushu after this land acquisition, and it is estimated that there will be more changes in the income of various places in the future as it continues to develop in the future. "Income here refers to all the income from land, mineral deposits, commerce, etc.

"In terms of population, Satsuma has a total population of about 150,000 people, of which more than 30,000 are young and strong. more than 60,000 children; There are about 100,000 people in Osumi Province, including more than 40,000 young and strong people and more than 30,000 children. There are about 110,000 people in Hyuga, including more than 40,000 young and strong people and more than 20,000 children; In addition, according to the instructions of the lord, the Cabinet has also relocated more than 20,000, 10,000, and 10,000 Ming immigrants totaling more than 40,000 to Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, and Hyuga Province respectively. The above is the population statistics in this land survey, but at this time, there are still many displaced people who have defected to their families to settle in the local area, and it is estimated that the local population situation will soon have new changes. ”

"In terms of mineral deposits, the two gold mines that had been mined in the inner castle of Satsuma Province and the vicinity of Sadogahara in Hyuga Province have also been restarted under the control of the slave team of the main family. As for other mineral deposits, they are also being surveyed by the mine with people from Hongfei. ”

"On the workshop side. In accordance with the Lord's order, the Cabinet has also established a cement workshop in Satsuma Province to facilitate the construction of marching roads and fortifications such as water conservancy facilities in various parts of Minami-Kyushu, and the workshop has been put into use. ”

"In terms of ports, Yakushima Island on the outer side of the Osumi Strait has officially become a foreign trading port for the family, and it is also one of the stations of the family's naval army. As a result, the family already has Yakushima Island in Osumi Province, Imaye Port in Iyu Province, Tsushima Island, and Torishima Island in Nagato Province as their foreign trade ports, and they are also military ports for their naval forces. In addition, Imari Bay in Hizen Province is the shipbuilding port base of the family, and Karatsu Bay is the training base of the family's naval forces. ”

Judging from the proportion of the population in the southern Kyushu region, there are obviously not many young people, mainly because southern Kyushu experienced a long period of fierce battles and a large number of young people were killed by the strong men, and because when the Shimazu family was transferred to the northern region of Iyu Province, it also took away a lot of local young people in Satsuma Province, so this situation was caused.

According to Togo Heiji's report, the three provinces of Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, and Hyuga Province in southern Kyushu currently have a total income of 620,000 koku, and a population of more than 35 people. With such a result, Masayo was naturally satisfied with the Nankyushu Campaign, which had lasted for two years from preparation to completion.

At the same time, Zhengliang also recalled the income and population of the Luo family's territories that he had just seen before, among them, the income.

After more than ten years of development, the income of Hizen Province, where the Luo family was founded, has changed significantly, from 310,000 koku in 1540 to 450,000 koku in 1549, 550,000 koku in 1556, and 610,000 koku in the last year (1559). The reason why there is such a big change in income is mainly because with the change of time, the law of the Luo family has continued to penetrate into the hearts of the people, so that the local agriculture and fishery, commerce, handicrafts, cultural industries, and catering industries have gradually developed in the local area, forming a good economic system that promotes mutual circulation, so there have been such significant changes.

Similar to Hizen Province, the income of Chikugo Province and Higo Province, which were also occupied by the Luo family in the early days of the family, also changed significantly, with the income of Chikugo Province increasing to 270,000 koku in 1544, 330,000 koku in 1549, 410,000 koku in 1556, and 460,000 koku at the beginning of this year (1559). In the Higo Kingdom, the income in the four years of 1545, 1549, 1556, and 1559 was 340,000 koku, 370,000 koku, 480,000 koku, and 530,000 koku, respectively.

The Chikuzen Province, Bunzen Province, Bungo Country, and Iki Island occupied by the Luo family in the middle of the family have also changed quite a lot. Among them, the income of Chikuzen Province in the three years of 1551, 1556, and 1559 was 340,000 koku, 420,000 koku, and 460,000 koku; In 1551, 1556, and 1559, the income of the Bunzen Kingdom was 140,000 stone, 210,000 stone, and 240,000 stone; In 1549, 1556, and 1559, the income of Bungo Kingdom was 370,000 stone, 450,000 stone, and 480,000 stone.

In 1549, the island's income was only 15,000 koku, but by last year (1559) the island's income had risen to 50,000 koku. To know. Iki Island is a small area. Moreover, the island is mountainous and densely forested, and the cultivated area is small. There are several reasons why there is such a huge change in income from the island with a small population:

First, after the island became the territory of the Luo family, not only was the Luo family relocated many displaced people to settle in, but also vigorously promoted the law of the Luo family;

Second, after Tsushima Island and the western part of the Ouchi family became the territory of the Luo family, Iki Island, which was originally used as a frontier position for defense, and the surrounding waters suddenly became the inland sea of the Luo family. so that it can steadily and vigorously develop fisheries and forestry;

Third, because it became the inland sea of the Luo family, it also became a transit point for Tsushima Island to trade with Korean and Ming merchants, and many merchants would use the island as a temporary warehouse to store goods, and many merchants within the Luo family would pass through the island, thus increasing the prosperity of the island;

Finally, because there is a kind of bison living in the dense forests of the island, with the support of the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet, many local island leaders simply took up the work of capturing bison, domesticating bison for farming, and even grazing cattle. You know, the price of cultivated cattle during the Warring States period was very high. This, of course, also increased the island's income.

The above-mentioned area is the total income of the territory occupied by the Luo family in the middle of the year. In recent years, the Luo family has also occupied Nagato Kingdom, Zhou Defense Kingdom, Anyi Kingdom, Tsushima Island and other places.

As for the Nagato Kingdom, although the Luo family currently occupies only about four-fifths of the country (the remaining one-fifth is divided between the wealthy families of the Nagato Kingdom, led by the Yoshimi family), their income in 1556 was 120,000 koku, but by 1559 the income had increased to 140,000 koku.

Although the country has Torishima Island, which hangs off the coast of Nagato Province, as a place to trade with Iwami Province and Yasumo Province to the east, due to the high winds and waves in the area, ships often have accidents at sea, so most merchants choose to trade by land along the coast first. Unfortunately, since the Niko, Yoshimi, and Mori families were currently fighting for the silver mines of Iwami Province, Yan Zhanng hindered the smooth coastal land trade routes to the Luo family in Iwami Province and Yasuun Province, so the income did not increase much.

Similar to the Nagato Kingdom, the Aki family also occupied only about three-fifths of the area (the remaining two-fifths were occupied by the Mori family), and their income in 1556 was 150,000 koku, but by 1559 it had increased to 160,000 koku.

As for Zhou Fangguo, which was fully occupied by the Luo family, its income in 156 was 160,000 shi, and by 1559, its income had increased to 190,000 shi.

It can be seen from the changes in the income of the three places of Nagato Kingdom, Anyi Country, and Zhou Fangguo that the increase in their income is not much, mainly because these areas have just experienced several civil wars and external invasions, and they have just been occupied by the Luo family for only three years, so it will take a long time to recover and develop.

As for Tsushima Island, because it was the main place where the Luo family traded with Korean and Ming merchants, and compared with Iki Island in the rear, it was larger and had more arable land, so its income was not bad, in 1556 it was only 20,000 koku, and by last year 1559, its total income had increased to 60,000 koku.

Of course, in addition to appealing to these areas, in fact, the Luo family also controlled some territories in the western part of Bigo Province and the northern part of Yiyu Kingdom. It's just that these territories are all important frontiers of the Luo family, and the military tun system is implemented (there are no people in these areas, and the local fields are cultivated by local defenders), and according to the law of the Luo family, the local will only implement the common farming techniques in the Warring States Period, and any advanced Luo family technology and crops will not be implemented in these areas (mainly for secrecy). Therefore, the total income of these areas is more than 10,000 stones, less than 20,000 stones.

Calculated in this way, coupled with the total income of the Southern Kyushu region at this time, the total income of all the territories of the Luo family was just over four million stones, so the Luo family was a Warring States overlord with a net worth of four million stones, and Masato was also a Warring States daimyo with a net worth of four million stones.
