Fujihei Castle Assembly Hall.

"Your Highness, although my family has harvested thousands of stone of grain this time, according to the current stone height of the territory, it is only barely able to maintain the expenditure of 2,200 people, and we need to continue to cultivate the fields," Togo Heiji said.

"Yes, according to the consumption of 1.8 koku per person, it is true that the income of the territory will be very small, so let's do it, Pingji, from tomorrow, you will organize the promotion of the territorial law of the newly occupied land, and speed up the organization of manpower to carry out the conscription of the reclaimed fields, and the conscription expenditure will be tentatively set at 500 koku, and the newly reclaimed fields will be fully promoted to test the crops in the fields", Masara replied, "In addition, for the ashigaru who died in this battle, a one-time 10 koku bereavement pension will be given to his family, and those who are in difficulty at home will be given regular relief every month. The male who has not been served, arrange it as my little surname. The two injured Ashigaru, since they can no longer participate in the battle, will be arranged to be the head of the village to assist in the daily management of the village, just as they were when they were ashigaru. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, on behalf of your majesty, thank you for your kindness," said Heiji Togo.

"Your Highness, will you be dealt with in accordance with this regulation in the future? I'm afraid it will greatly increase the burden on the territory in the future," Onishi Kuniji said in a low voice.

"Well, let's add these to the realm law; As for the problem of increasing the burden on the territory, it is true that there will be a problem, but it is worth it to greatly boost the morale of the ashigaru and the samurai and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops", Masarashi nodded, affirming Onishi Kuniji's question, and at the same time analyzed, "Ladies and gentlemen, although the territory of the family has expanded several times, it has attracted the attention of the surrounding heroes, so please be sure to stay vigilant, and now, let the country talk about the defense situation of the territory." ”

"Yes, Your Highness", Onishi Kuniji bowed and saluted, and then said, "After two days of repeated inventory and publicity, the newly occupied territory has been basically stabilized, and a total of 36 samurai from the nearby Haoqiang and the original three die-hard relatives have been captured, of which those samurai have been slashed and killed, and there are still 30 detectives from other Haoqiang who need His Highness to confirm how to deal with them." ”

"Let's all be reduced to slaves", Zhengliang decided directly without thinking about it. Among these new slaves, 20 of them were reported by the people, and for this reason, Masarashi was rewarded with 100 koku of miscellaneous grain according to the standard of 5 koku for each report, and Masara felt very painful about this, so Masara had already made up his mind that if these new slaves could not generate an income of 200 koku, he would not plan to return to his freedom, "At the same time, all the current lords of Fujihei Castle Castle Castle Town will be forcibly relocated to Notaka Village, and the displaced people who have been recruited one after another will be arranged to Fujihei Castle Castle Town." The relocated lords of Fujidaira Castle were given a certain amount of compensation each, and seeds were provided free of charge as soon as they settled in Notaka Town. ”

"No, Your Highness, I'm afraid this will cause unrest among these relocated lords," Togo Heiji immediately admonished.

"Hmph, all those who participated in the turmoil were reduced to slaves, and they were directly slashed and killed," Masarashi said fiercely, "Of the 30 detectives, 13 of the arrested detectives were from the castle town of Fujihei Castle, which is inseparable from the intentional protection of these lords, and in order to avoid causing worse effects, they can only cut through the chaos quickly." All the retainers looked at each other, and once again felt that the original family territory was not as stable as it appeared on the surface.

"The Nagasura family and the Oda family, which border the Honke's territory on both sides of Lake Fujidaira, have always been interested in invading the Honka's territory, and the Taiku family on the other side of Lake Fujidaira is related to the Oda family by marriage, so it should not be taken lightly," Kuniji Onishi continued. ”

"Hiss" The excitement of the crowd due to the expansion of the territory immediately dropped to the bottom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to deal with the bad situation that the family may face next, I have decided to recruit another 103 ashigaru and form a 200-person ashigaru team with the original 97 ashigaru, as for the question of how to recruit the new ashigaru, let's follow the selection method last time, and give priority to the peasant soldiers who have surrendered to their own family in this battle", Masarashi paused, seeing that all the retainers had no objections, and then continued, "200 ashigaru, with 40 spear ashigaru and 10 bow and arrow ashigaru as a team, divided into four teams. The first team is stationed near the mansion of the Lord of Notakayama, and together with the 40 cloaks, it serves as the mobility of the territory, and I am directly under my command; The second team is stationed at the junction with the territory of the Chongliang family, and is under the command of Onishi Guozhi and is responsible to me; The third team was stationed on the shores of Lake Fujihira and was commanded by Tsuda Hiromune and was responsible to me; The fourth team was stationed at the border with the Dono family's domain, and was under the command of Tadajiro and was responsible to me. Tadajiro, iron tools are built there, and you have to strengthen the supervision of others at the same time, and ensure the supply and maintenance of farm tools and weapons in the territory. "In this way, after the adjustment, the Luo family has a total of 40 middle-level samurai (cloak people), 160 spear ashigaru, and 40 bow and arrow ashigaru. …,

"Yes, Your Highness", the four people who were arranged immediately bowed down to receive the order.

"The original 97 ashigaru were scattered and assigned to four squads to drive the new ashigaru to speed up their training," Masarashi continued, "The spring ploughing time has passed, so cancel the original semi-permanent training method of the ashigaru team in the first half of the day and return to the farmland in the second half of the day, and adopt the same full-time standing training method as the samurai, until the autumn harvest and then adjust it again." The original training method of the territory has been proven to be effective in several battles, taking this time as an example of quickly defeating the three Haoqiang and lightning blocking the border of the territory, the leaders of the nearby Haoqiang have no time to react, and each team must strengthen the effect of training. Sahachiro, Kizaburo"

"Your Highness", the two who were called out immediately responded in a loud voice.

"I now appoint Sahachiro as the commander of the second and third squads, and Kizaburo as the commander of the first and fourth squads; Responsible for the military merit records, reward and punishment confirmation and calculation of each team, as well as the ideological education of the team; It is 25 stones. After the assessment, I will personally guide you on how to implement it", said Masashi. In fact, Zhengliang intended to establish a system similar to that of a political commissar in later generations, and strengthen the army's loyalty education to himself.

"Yes, Your Highness," the two immediately replied in unison. The two of them were grateful at the moment, both grateful for the reuse and even more excited to get the money, with which the family's worries about food and clothing due to the lack of the main labor force were solved.

"Yinuo", just when the two were still distracted, Masashi gave another order, "Immediately form a 20-person reconnaissance team with Onishi Kuniji, responsible for blending into the powerful territory around the family, and responsible for finding out information." These detectives are 10 stones. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty will definitely complete the task", Yinuo didn't expect to get such an important task for the first time he participated in the assessment, and his heart was also fluctuating, secretly thinking, is my Yinuo's spring coming?

"Your Highness, forcibly asking Ashigaru to change from half-day training to full-day training, and not being able to return home for most of the month, I'm afraid it will cause Ashigaru's dissatisfaction", at this time Onishi Kuniji advised, "At present, most of the Ashigaru in the territory have families, relying on 4 stone alone, even if Ashigaru's family members work hard, but in the absence of the main labor force in the family, it is obviously impossible to ensure the food needs of a family for a year, so the ashigaru of the territory needs to return to the fields to take care of farming." ”

Zhengliang frowned and pondered, indeed, according to the calculation that a person needs 1.8 stone a year, a family of four will need at least about 7 stone a year. "Now is the most important period for the family to gain a foothold, and all the ashigaru will be increased from the original 4 koku to 7 koku, but all the semi-permanent ashigaru will be converted to a standing ashigaru, and according to the samurai military system, they can return to their own farms four days a month to take care of farming," Masarashi later decided, "except for the samurai and ashigaru, the rest of the men in the domain between the ages of 15 and 40 are required to participate in a day of training organized by the village head in the middle of each month." According to Masahiro's idea, the military strength of the territory is mainly divided into three levels, the first level is the standing samurai, the second level is the standing ashigaru, and the last level is the peasant soldiers as a reserve force, after all, once the foreign enemy invades, it is necessary to mobilize all the peasants and soldiers.

"Your Highness, this will greatly increase the food burden of the territory", Togo Heiji immediately objected. According to the calculation of 7 stone for a year of ashigaru, if you recruit 200 ashigaru, the annual military expenditure is 1400 stone, which is equivalent to the current income of the territory for a year. This year's harvest in the territory is only about 1,600 stones, and according to the average agricultural tax of seven gongs and three farmers, the tax revenue of the territory is only about 1,100 stones, and this kind of income cannot even afford to pay a lot of money, which means that more than 4,000 stones in the warehouse (deducting the grain consumed by Zhengliang just arranged) will continue to be consumed. …,

"Pingji, this year's Yulu has already been allocated from the seized grain, and at present, it is only necessary to allocate the increased part of Yulu, that is, about 700 koku", Masashi first corrected his mistake, "Of course, if the territory is still harvested like this next year, then there will indeed be problems." But as long as you get through this difficult period and wait for everything in the territory to fall into place, it will get better. ”

"Will it get better?" , all the retainers looked at each other, what else could they do but rely on the captured grain to get through this period (but the most grain will also be consumed one day), what else can be done?

"Hehe, just expand the scope of the territory", seeing the expressions of the retainers, Zhengliang didn't plan to sell Guanzi, and directly smiled lightly.

"What? The lord is still ready to continue expanding? The retainers were stunned.
