In fact, this time, Konoe came to Hizen Province in Kyushu for a long time, and in addition to sending the imperial companion to Masahiro, he also had two tasks. One of them was to re-negotiate with the Luo family the Emperor's Imperial Land (equivalent to the Emperor's direct domain) in the Luo family's domain.

When the Luo family was just starting out, in order to establish a relationship with the public family represented by Emperor Go-Nara, Masari donated a territory in a village near Takayama in Hizen Kunino to Emperor Go-Nara as his imperial residence. Of course, the emperor's family also knew that it was already very good to be able to get this gift from the Luo family, so they did not send someone to manage this territory, but entrusted the Luo family to send someone to manage it on their behalf, and as for the annual income of this territory, let the Luo family settle it directly in coins according to the market price. Moritaka Ichijo, who had previously been the resident of the Luo family in the Kyoto area, would send these coins to the Imperial Palace every year after the autumn harvest.

Now, now that Emperor Go-Nara has passed away and a new Emperor Shokin-cho has succeeded to the throne, it is natural that the public family represented by Emperor Shokin-cho wants to reconfirm with the Luo family the ownership of the land that originally belonged to Emperor Go-Nara. For the public's request, Zhengliang naturally readily agreed, anyway, the territory has always been taken care of by the Luo family, but it is just to give a name to the public, and every year under the pretext of the territory to the public to give money to the public. In fact, the public family has been quite worthy of the Luo family's funding in the past ten years, at least every time it fights against hostile forces, the public family will not support the hostile party with the Luo family in general righteousness.

After re-establishing with the Luo family the ownership of the imperial land that originally belonged to Emperor Go-Nara, Konoe Maehisa had another task to learn from the Luo family about the whereabouts of Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei, and others, who had previously migrated from the Awa Province in the Shikoku region.

According to the rules of the government, when the former Hirashima Gongfang Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others left Awa Province. Someone was sent to inform the public in Kyoto. It was only when the public learned the news. The former Hirashima Gongfang Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others have already gone to the western region to take refuge in the Ouchi family.

Bad luckily. The former Hirashima Duke Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others just happened to encounter the Itsukushima War I at this time and the Western Kingdom Raiders of the Luo family, and the newly appointed Emperor Shokincho happened to be related to the Ashikaga family, so it was just as if the Luo family, who had become the new owner of the former Ouchi family's territory at this time, inquired about the whereabouts of the former Hirashima Duke Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others who had lost contact.

So where are the former Hirashima Gongfang Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others at this time?

In fact, at this time, these people had just been placed by the Luo family near Hizen Kunino Takayama, and they were given a small manor by Masarashi as their domain near the Imperial Residence of the Prince.

Ashikaga Yoshiei, who had been playing near Udagake Castle in the Saikoku region, was placed under house arrest by the lord of Udagatake Castle, and was rescued by the Luo family who captured Udagatake Castle, and Masara followed the vine when attacking Yamaguchi Castle. Ashikaga Yoshiei's father, Ashikaga Yoshito, and others were also "protected".

After that, Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others, under the "escort" of the Luo family, set off from the coast of Zhou Fangguo by boat, directly crossed the sea area of Zhoufang, passed through Iyu Bay and Beppu Bay, and finally went ashore at Gibu Castle in Bungo Province of Kyushu.

Qibu City is the residence of the original Kyushu overlord Otomo's family, and at this time it has been renamed Qibu City by the Luo family. It is said that the name "Qibu" was taken by the Luo family's family governor Luo Shi Masarashi based on the allusion of the Ming Kingdom's "Fengming Qishan", and from this name, Ashikaga Yoshito and Ashikaga Yoshiei immediately felt the ambition of the young governor of the Luo family.

I don't know if it was Qibu Castle that was very prosperous when the Otomo family was in power. Anyway, when Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others came to the castle, they were all shocked by the towering walls, majestic buildings, and bustling crowds of people in the castle. The prosperity of Qibu City at this time was dù. It's completely comparable to Kyoto.

After staying in Gibu Castle for two days and resting for a while, Ashikaga Yoshito, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others once again continued to other territories in the Kyushu region of the Luo family under the protection of the accompanying Luo family samurai. Although they didn't know their ultimate goal, Ashikaga Yoshito and Ashikaga Yoshiei, father and son, who had already accepted their fate, did not have too much resistance and resistance to this arrangement, but the two of them enjoyed the scenery along the way as a spring outing.

When the two fathers and sons, Ashikaga Yoshito and Ashikaga Yoshiei, carefully admired the scenery along the way, they first discovered the avenue under the wheels of the ox cart. According to the samurai of the Luo family who are in charge of guarding the surrounding area, this avenue is actually a main road directly connected to the Luo family city of Hizen Province, and it took more than a year to build this road in order to build it. This avenue is so wide that to the naked eye, at least seven horses can fight in parallel at the same time. What is even more surprising is that this avenue is smoother and very hard than the avenues that Ashikaga Yoshito and Ashikaga Yoshiei have seen before. This is good for walking on rainy days.

In addition to the astonishment of the two fathers and sons, Ashikaga Yoshito and Ashikaga Yoshiei, along the way, they found that there seemed to be a lot of vehicles and pedestrians on the road, a bit like seeing the people of Kyoto go to the market in the past. This time, Ashikaga Yoshiei seemed much smarter, and he knew how to take the initiative to consult the warriors of the Luo family around him. So he quickly got an answer, some of the people walking on these roads were merchants within the Luo family, who were doing business everywhere, and some of them were ordinary people, some of them were indeed going to the market, and the rest were visiting relatives.

Ashikaga Yoshiei, who received this reply, was immediately surprised, he had never seen ordinary people in other places take the initiative to move around so frequently, and from here, it could be seen that there was peace and prosperity in the Luo family's territory.

In the process of walking, in addition to discovering the ordinary lords who came and went, Ashikaga Yoshiei immediately discovered the fields on both sides of the avenue. First of all, there are the paddy fields, which, judging by the grass that has been covered after harvesting, seem to have just been harvested in autumn. And in the dry field next to the harvested rice, Ashikaga Yoshiei saw the sacred melon vines that spread all over the field.

These divine melons are also known as political melons. It is a unique crop of the Roche family. After the spread of some merchants. In fact, this miraculous crop has also begun to be cultivated in many areas outside of the Luo family, among which Oda Nobunaga, who was called a fool in Owari Province, is the most highly regarded for its cultivation. Ashikaga Yoshiei had eaten these melons when he had settled on Awa Kunihira Island before, and he thought it was indeed very delicious, and he had always wanted to see the fields where these melons were grown, and now he finally got his wish.

In addition to the fields of divine melons that attracted Ashikaga Yoshiei's attention, he also found the ditches in the middle of the fields that were scattered around like fishing nets.

"Is this the famous Sengoku Masarachi?" Looking at the canal embedded in the field, Ashikaga Yoshiei couldn't help but praise.

Of course, it amazed Ashikaga Yoshiei and others. Naturally, not only that, when they arrived at Xuefu City, where the main residence of the Luo family, they were once again shocked by the enormity of Xuefu City. Gakufu Castle is huge not only because of the height of its castle walls, the splendor of the seven-story castle tower in the center of the castle, and the large cylinder called an artifact on top of the castle walls, but also in the castle towns that are two or three miles wide outside the castle area.

Here, the same happy smiling faces of the people are full of people and the people are stable, and in addition to this, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others also see the soldiers of the Luo family patrolling the castle town. The neat steps, strict makeup, and shiny weapons all make people feel their might. It's just that the general castle town security team is so powerful, so the rest of the Luo family's regular team is naturally even more powerful.

Similarly, in the academy castle, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others were arranged by the Luo family to rest for a few days. In these days. In addition to visiting the castle town of Gakufu Castle, Ashikaga Yoshiei and others also visited the Luo Academy, which was famous in the Luo family's territory, accompanied by a retainer of the Luo family who had such a strange position as "headmaster".

In the academy. Ashikaga Yoshiei and others saw children from families such as lords, ministers, and commoners learning various things such as martial arts, marching, farming, and so on. Here, there seems to be no distinction between blood and identity, and all people are full of energy, racing against time to absorb all kinds of knowledge.

After resting for a while in Gakufu Castle and enjoying some of the city's brick-built garden houses in the southern style of the Ming Kingdom, as well as the wonderful food in each period, Ashikaga Yoshiei and the others once again carried the boats in the Ariake Sea Pier near Gakufu Castle, and finally arrived at the last stop of their trip to the Luo family, a manor near Hizen Kunino Takayama.

This manor was originally a slave farm of the Luo family, and because it was temporarily given to Ashikaga Yoshiei and others by Masara as their territory to settle in the Luo family in the future, the slaves who had worked on the farm for several years were also promoted to the general lords of the Luo family, and each of them was given some of the fields on the farm as their own territory, and from now on, they only had to work and live according to the law of the Luo family.

After finally gaining freedom and being treated as a general owner of the Luo family, all the slaves on the farm were pleasantly surprised, as early as when they were slaves of the Luo family, they learned the laws of the Luo family from those farm officials, and knew that they would get a lot of benefits in the future that would never appear in other regions, so they were naturally very happy, and even when Ashikaga Yoshiei and others officially called their manor (after the farm was abolished, it was actually regarded as a small village), They all gave them a great welcome, so that Ashikaga Yoshiei and others misunderstood that they were welcomed by these people because of their noble status.

It was only after settling down and after a period of time that Ashikaga Yoshiei and the others finally realized that their previous thinking was obviously wrong, and that these lords under their name actually welcomed the law of the Luo family.

For example, although they are nominally the lords of this manor, in fact, the daily agricultural and political affairs of their territory are managed by the guy who is called the head of the village sent by the Luo family, and Ashikaga Yoshiei and others only need to wait for the collection of agricultural taxes every year.

Ashikaga Yoshiei and the others, who were not confused by this, even visited a nearby lord in an attempt to learn more about the law of the Luo family from them, but Ashikaga Yoshiei and the others soon discovered that their neighbor was also a small local lord of the former Zhou Defense Kingdom who had just been transferred from the Zhou Defense Kingdom in the Western Region.

For the law of the Luo family at this time, this neighbor is also adapting, and the strange thing is that when it was transferred, the money and grain of the lord's family were collected by the Luo family, and the internal cabinet of the Luo family only gave them a coin certificate and sent their family here to become the neighbors of Ashikaga Yoshiei and others.

This neighbor, who originally thought that his property had been annexed by the Luo family, arrived here, and with the certificate in his hand, he directly obtained materials equivalent to the money and grain that had been confiscated at the place where the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet was stationed in the local Notakayama Luo Town, which was called the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet, so that this neighbor could quickly settle down in the new territory.

In addition to seeing this strange phenomenon, Ashikaga Yoshiei and the others also found that the boys and girls in their territory would regularly go to the place in the nearby Notakayama Shimoto Rashi Town every day to participate in the so-called "school", where they learned some strange characters and languages. To the surprise of Ashikaga Yoshiei and others, these children, both men and women, were regularly organized to participate in military training, and it is said that every year in April, they would "march in the wild" to the place known as the Tomb of the Heroes in Notaka to pay homage to the tombstones.

"It's amazing, it's a magical and stable place!" After settling down, Ashikaga Yoshiei was completely fascinated by what he saw and heard in the territory of the Luo family. Even when Konoe Maehisa came to visit their clan under the leadership of the Luo family samurai, and secretly asked Ashikaga Yoshiei and his son if they intended to leave the Luo family's territory, Ashikaga Yoshiei and his son rejected Konoe Maehisa's kindness and decided to settle down in the Luo family's territory. Since then, the original Hirashima Gongfang has become the Notaka Gongfang.

Of course, these are not the places that attract him the most, and the Chungkoji Temple near Notaka Mountain, known as the Rashi family temple, is the place that attracts Ashikaga Yoshiei the most.
