Under the leadership of Kizaburo, Masara soon came to the courtyard of the original slab stone house, which was located at the highest point in the center of the cottage. The structure of the courtyard is similar to that of Oishinoji, and the area here is larger compared to each other. The people in the courtyard have all been taken to the gate of the cottage and gathered, and now only two Ashigaru of the Luo family are guarding at the gate of the courtyard.

After a hurried tour of the lower courtyard, Masahiro came to the council hall and sat down, ready to rest for a while. After a big battle in the morning, he immediately went over the mountains and mountains at noon to kill the bandits' lair, fighting many times in a row, fighting wits and courage, and Masara also felt a little tired, so he fell asleep after a while. I don't know how long it has been, but Masara feels that someone is calling him, and he opens his eyes in a daze, and sees Sahachiro and Kizaburo standing beside him.

Masarashi immediately sat up straight, looked down at his watch, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, that is, it had been rectified outside for more than two hours, "Sahachiro, how is the situation outside?" ”

"Your Highness, Togo-sama and Kuniji-sama are in the courtyard outside, ready to report to you," Sahachiro immediately bowed and saluted.

"Well, please come in", Masara didn't expect them to clean up the situation of the cottage so quickly, and hurriedly said. Sahachiro immediately walked out of the council hall to gather everyone.

Soon, Togo Heiji, Kuniharu Onishi, Tsuda Hiromune, Kosuke, and Tadajiro outside walked into the council hall in turn. After everyone finished saluting, Dongxiang Heiji first kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, a great victory, the Luo family has eliminated the bandits that have plagued us for many years without dying in this battle, and the harvest is huge, it can be called the biggest victory of the family", his voice trembled slightly because he could not hide the excitement in his heart.

"Huh", Zhengliang, who had just taken a sip of a cup of warm water handed over by Kisaburo behind him, almost squirted out the imported water. A group fight of only a few dozen people is also called a big victory? I'm really embarrassed to say it. And this guy doesn't look at the surrounding situation, at least he should pay attention to the fact that there are two bandits who have just surrendered here, isn't this humiliating them? Masara hurriedly looked at everyone's reactions, and found that everyone was excited, and the eyes that looked at Masato were slightly admired, even Kosuke and Tadajiro were no exception.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhengliang breathed a sigh of relief, then cleared his throat, and pretended to be calm, "Then, Pingji, let's talk about our harvest this time." ”

Dongxiang Heiji seemed to have been prepared, and after hearing Masahiro's instructions, he immediately solemnly took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, which seemed to be seized in the cottage, and after kowtowing to Masahiro again, he spread out the yellow paper and read, "In terms of grain, 2,625 stone grains were seized in Dashi's house, 3,810 stone grains were seized in Banshi's house, plus the original grains in the territory, there are currently a total of 6,525 stone grains in the territory. ”

So much? Masashi was also shocked all of a sudden, and even suddenly had a feeling of becoming an upstart. You must know that before the elimination of the bandits, the territory was only 90 stone of miscellaneous grain, so much more at once, no wonder Dongxiang Heiji was so excited. Masara fell into a stupor for a while due to surprise.

"In terms of weapons, 26 swords, 135 spears, and 13 rudimentary pieces of armor were found from the cottage and the villages outside the cottage; 11 swords, 13 spears, 8 rudimentary pieces of armor were captured from the captives; Seventy-three swords, 156 spears, two heavy wisteria bows, five maruki bows, and 25 rudimentary pieces of armor were recovered from the secret warehouse. With the addition of the original 10 unallocated spears and 9 pairs of rudimentary armor in the territory, there are currently 110 unallocated swords, 314 spears, and 55 rudimentary armor in the territory. The territory has been allocated 15 swords, 29 spears, and 11 earthen bamboo bows", seeing Masara's calm expression, Togo Heiji was once again deeply impressed by the lord's unfazed bearing, and at the same time felt ashamed of his gaffe, and immediately suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and continued to report. …,

"Well, it seems that in the short term, we don't have to worry about weapons anymore. But generally a sword costs hundreds of dollars, and a well-made knife even needs several times, how can a thief have so many swords? At this time, Masato also recovered from his sluggishness, and just happened to hear the number of unallocated weapons in the territory, and he was not only happy about the harvest of the territory, but also puzzled by the capture of so many weapons.

"Yes, Your Highness, there are currently 40 people in this family, and the weapons are enough", Onishi Kuniji said, "As for why there are so many swords and other weapons here for the bandits, His Majesty guesses that Higashimatsunura is located on the coast, the sea trade routes are busy, and there are more pirates and bandits. That's why there are so many of them. ”

"I see", Masara nodded, it seems that pirates are also a good profession, "Heiji, you can continue." ”

"Your Highness, in terms of coins, 327 copper coins were found in the Dashi family and the Banshi family in the cottage, 11 taels of gold, and 230 taels of silver; From the secret warehouse, 1,327 copper coins were found and 780 wen, 143 taels of gold, and 720 taels of silver; Combined with the coins seized from the captives and the original coins of the territory, there are currently 1,680 copper coins and 510 bun, 154 taels of gold, and 970 taels of silver." Onishi Kuniji and Tsuda Hiromune glanced at each other, obviously stunned by these gains, who would have thought that a small bandit cottage would be so rich, and even equivalent to a medium-sized tyrant.

"Hahaha, okay. I didn't expect to gain so much this time, by the way, how is the exchange of the golden judgment now? After hearing about the harvest of coins, Masashi was also in a good mood.

"At present, the exchange of merchants in East Songpu is generally 1 tael of gold for 50 taels of silver or four copper coins. After exchanging the gold and silver of the territory into copper coins, there are currently 2,374 pieces of territory," Onishi Kuniji hurriedly analyzed. "Shhh , After hearing the number of coins that the territory finally obtained, everyone took a deep breath, even the original Kosuke and Tadajiro in the cottage were no exception, 2374 Guan Ah, and it could be used to buy miscellaneous grains to reach nearly 5000 stones.

"Hmm. Heiji, keep talking", Masarashi took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and then continued to command calmly.

"Your Highness, this time I harvested thousands of catties of copper and thousands of catties of iron in the cottage, plus the original of the territory, the current territory has about 3,225 catties of copper and about 1,325 catties of iron. In addition, there are 320 buckets of salt and more than 50 pieces of cloth", Togo Heiji reported.

"It's a happy hassle to suddenly get so much iron, isn't it? Who knows if there is a blacksmith near the territory of Ludao? Masarashi asked, frowning.

"Your Highness, we have a blacksmith ourselves," Kosuke said, looking at Tadajiro beside him.

"What? We have blacksmiths ourselves? Over there? Masarashi asked, overjoyed, while looking at Tadajiro with Kosuke's eyes.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Tadajiro touched his bald head, and then said with a smile, "Hehe, Your Highness, Your Majesty used to be a small blacksmith in China, and after arriving here, he was also responsible for the daily ironwork of the cottage. ”

"China? Longboat Village? Masarashi immediately sat up straight, stared at Tadajiro and asked eagerly.

"Hehe, Your Highness, the village of Longship is in the country of Qianqian, and his subordinates are just a small blacksmith in China, because the family was inherited by his brother, so he had to be a wild warrior and wandered here, and finally became a bandit. His Majesty was not good at forging weapons, but he was able to repair damaged weapons, and the farming tools and iron tools in the cottage were also forged by His Majesty," Tadajiro corrected.

"Okay, very good", even if you are not good at forging weapons, but it is already very good to be able to repair weapons and forge farm tools and irons, "I now officially grant you the position of weapon chief, and I am fully responsible for the forging and maintenance of weapons and farm tools in the territory, well, the original subordinates will continue to follow you, and at the same time, I will transfer a few little guys from the patrol team to you as apprentices." Behave well, Tadajiro, if the shortage of farm tools in the territory can be resolved within a month, I will promote you to the rank of Ashigaru Shogun", Masarashi immediately issued an appointment and task requirements to Tadajiro. …,

"Huh!?" , Tadajiro was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed to the ground, and said excitedly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty will definitely complete the task and strive to contribute to the Luo family." Tadajiro didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, originally participated in the evaluation this time, and he was always worried that Masayo would go back on his word, and settle accounts with these thieves who surrendered to their sincerity, but they didn't expect to be reused so quickly. In addition to gratitude, he immediately kowtowed and reported, "Your Highness, in addition to the blacksmith in the cottage, there are also Yubei who is a carpenter and Shinsuke who is a plasterer, who were all taken up the mountain by Banshi Dalang, and some of their family members are also farming in the nearby local tyrant territory. Without them, it is estimated that the lives of these family members will become difficult. ”

"Oh? Tadajiro, tell them that I will give them the position of head of the Ashigaru group, and that their families will arrange for them to be transported to the territory to reunite with them, and that they will be in charge of the wooden equipment and construction of the territory, and that they will do a good job for me, and I will not treat them badly. In addition, Pingji, you settle them, and they will be under your rule in the future", hearing the good news again, Zhengliang was very happy, but he didn't expect a thief cottage to be "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger".

"Yes, Your Highness," Tadajiro and Heiji Togo said at the same time.

"In this case, Your Majesty will be able to settle down and work for Your Highness in peace," Tadajiro said again. Hearing Masara's appointment to himself, Tadajiro judged that Masara was now short of craftsmen, so he boldly recommended two craftsmen to Masara, and at the same time implicitly stated that in order for these two people to settle down in peace, they must ensure that their families can be reunited. Of course, making such a suggestion, Tadajiro also sweated in his heart, after all, for a general who had just surrendered, it was a bit "pampered and arrogant" to do so. Fortunately, Zhengliang did not pursue it after the most reckless.

"Have all the people gathered in front of the open space at the gate of the cottage?" , Masato continued to ask.

"Your Highness, everyone has gathered in front of the gate, guarded by Ashigaru, while Tadajiro-sama's subordinates are calming down the terrified villagers. The die-hard members of the bandits and the relatives of the original bandits were also beheaded, but the women and children of those bandits? Onishi Guoji did not continue to talk about this, but looked at Masayo, and seemed to need Masato to make a decision.

"Your Highness, most of those women were robbed up the mountain, and those children were also born later, so they don't have much attachment to the original bandits, please forgive their lives! And killing them will cause panic among the other people", before Masarashi could make a decision, Tadajiro immediately fell to the ground and pleaded. As the "old man" of the cottage, he knows the situation here very well, and it's not a good thing that the lord is too murderous, so Tadajiro is determined to advise.

Masato felt a little amused, he had never said that he was going to kill all these people. "In this way, the women and children will be arranged to return to their respective homes in the cottage, assist them in self-reliance, encourage them to remarry, and do not allow anyone to insult them, and if they are really unable to be self-reliant, they will be arranged for Matsumiko", I hope that the concept of chastity in this era is not strong, and it is best to be able to re-establish a family, "As for the men, it will be determined by Heiji, Kuniji, Kosuke, and Tadajiro, regardless of age, and if you find that you have a grudge against the territory, you will be killed immediately." Masayo doesn't want a killer who is ready to murder him in his territory.

"Your Highness, there are currently 83 villagers in the cottage, and in addition to that, 25 young women have been found in the cottage cells, all of whom have been looted from the neighborhood in the past six months, and there are 42 displaced people who are in charge of copper mining, all of whom have been looted from the bottom of the mountain," Togo Heiji continued.

"Those women, if there are family members in the territory, arrange to return home, if there are family members outside the territory, arrange for their families to reunite in the territory, and leave the homeless to Matsumiko to arrange", recently several widows led by Matsumiko just applied for several anti-new reclamation fields, and now there is a shortage of manpower, "As for those mining refugees, for the time being, they will continue to be responsible for mining, tell them that we will solve the problem of food, and at the same time each person will have 4 buckets of miscellaneous grains a month, and arrange for their families to settle in the territory, Residences and fields are distributed uniformly by the territory. ”…,

"Those who are not in our territory may not want to come to our territory," Togo Heiji said worriedly.

"Then tie them up", Zhengliang said with a relaxed face, the territory is currently about 300 people, after obtaining a large amount of food, the next step is to consider the population of the territory, the population base is there, there are soldiers, only by relying on the current 40 ashigaru, it is impossible to protect itself under the attack of the surrounding heroes and bandits. And for these peasants who did not want to come to their own territory, they had to be directly "kidnapped". Anyway, most of the Haoqiang didn't care about the disappearance of one or two peasants in their territory.

"Guozhi, find a few clever people to pretend to be homeless people, blend into the nearby local tyrant territory, pay close attention to their movements, report it immediately if you find an abnormality, and at the same time arrange for people to secretly pick up the families of the relevant personnel to the territory, fortunately, you can help", Masara looked at the door of the council hall and pondered for a while, and then arranged, "Guangzong, arrange for Ashigaru to guard the entrance and exit of the territory day and night, without my permission, anyone can only enter, not allowed to go out, and it is strictly forbidden to leak the current situation of the territory." Ladies and gentlemen, although the bandits have been defeated by us, the powerful and bandits around us are still eyeing each other, and now is not the time for me to relax. ”

"Yes, Your Highness," everyone felt a pang in their hearts, and after carefully understanding the lord's words, they all deeply agreed, and the joy that had just been made by the great harvest suddenly became heavy.

"Okay, now let's go and inspect the neighbors who have newly joined the territory", Masara saw that everyone present bowed their heads and pondered, and was very satisfied with the effect of the basin of cold water he had splashed, and took the lead in getting up and saying.

"Yes, Your Highness", everyone took the order.
