This time of Zhengliang's great division of the fief, it can be said that everyone is happy, and almost all the retainers have obtained a large or small fief. According to the general situation, it is actually very abnormal to seal such a full range of territories.

But Zhengliang has the purpose of doing this, firstly, according to the territorial law, in fact, these territories are equivalent to being divided into various retainers for management, and then the retainers extract a certain amount of territorial taxes from them as Zhixing, and they are equivalent to the management officials appointed by Zhengliang to various parts of the territory. After all, there is too much territory to manage, and it can't be managed with Zhengliang's current energy; Second, in the context of the Warring States Period, relying solely on Yulu without a fief could not retain the retainers, and it seemed incompatible with this era, so even if restrictions were made, they had to give the retainers fiefs in form; Third, Zhengliang intends to implement some new policies and systems, but that must also be implemented slowly, like a frog boiled in warm water. And the territory of these retainers is used as a place to test the ground. Based on these three reasons, Masahiro chose a full-range fiefdom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that some of you here have some family members or relatives and friends outside your country before becoming retainers of your own family, and after the assessment, if you plan to move these people to your own territory to settle down, please hand over the information to Onishi Guozhi, and he will arrange personnel to assist you in finding these people and moving them to your territory." Masara said. Compared to other lords, Masara has some skills in dealing with people in later generations. Therefore, now that it is to win over the retainers, it is necessary to win them over thoroughly, so that they have no worries. Of course, from another level of meaning, Masara has the meaning of controlling the clansmen of the retainers within the territory of his family. In this way, both the retainers and Masahiro himself are much more at ease.

As soon as Masayo's words came out, retainers such as Ueda Shinji and Egawa clan became excited. Although they were tragically wiped out, in fact, there were still some tribesmen who endured humiliation and left in their original places to become the enemy's subjects and contribute resources to the enemy. Now there is such a sentence from the head of the family. They can take these clansmen to the Luo family's territory and live a much better life.

"In addition, only one castle is allowed in each family's territory, and the rest of the castles are demolished by their territory owners." Masara said again. There are too many cities in the territory, which leads to the division of troops to defend. Obviously not a good thing. But there is no division of troops to garrison. Once it is occupied by the rebels, it will take a lot of energy to cage the city, so it is better to directly demolish it.

"As for the construction of your residence, we should not consider using the burnt bricks and cement of the territory. If the money and food are insufficient, they can first owe the debt, and then return it to the territory when they are sufficient in the future. Masashi said again. In fact, the average lord is already very happy to be able to live in a wooden house, and he does not use the so-called burnt bricks and cement at all. And Zhengliang came up with these things. One of the purposes was to sell it as a luxury to retainers and wealthy families, so that they could squander the money and food left behind because they could not build cities and expand their troops due to the laws of the territory, so that they would not have bad thoughts due to too much money and food.

When the retainers heard this, they immediately bowed down and received the order.

"Pingji, tell me about the situation in this territory." Masara said. It has been seven or eight days since the Luo family has completely stabilized the newly acquired territory, and the people in the Internal Affairs Pavilion should have counted some general statistics of the Luo family's territory.

"Your Highness, the family currently completely occupies the entire territory of the four counties of Matsuura, Kitejima, Saka, and Ojo in Hizen Province, and at the same time, part of the territory of the three counties of Kanzaki, Fujizu, and Hiki is also under the control of the family. According to the preliminary statistics of his subordinates, the total income of these county territories is about 220,000 koku, and the exact income will only be determined after detailed land inspection in the next few months. There will also be an increase in the income of the province. Here, the old minister congratulates His Royal Highness. In the lifetime of the old minister, he can see His Royal Highness achieve such an achievement, even if he dies, he has no regrets. I wish the Luo family prosperity and prosperity! "Speaking of which. Togo Heiji's eyes were also a little moist.

"The Luo family's martial arts are prosperous!" The retainers were also rejoicing at this moment. During the Warring States period, the retainers and the main family were both prosperous. One loses all. Now that the Lord has achieved such an achievement, they are of course overjoyed. Even Oda Masamitsu, who had just joined the Luo family, and Nabeshima Kiyofang were also impressed. Maybe it's not a bad thing to follow such a young and promising head of the family.

"Hmm" Masara nodded, and then said, "Although this time the family was lucky to win the victory against the coalition forces of the Young Ers, but Hizen still has a lot of enemies, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, work together, and strive to unify Hizen as soon as possible." ”

"The ministers will definitely bow down and die." All the retainers immediately bowed down and saluted.

After the retainers finished saluting, Masara motioned to Togo Heiji to continue to report.

"In terms of population, including those who have just returned from captivity in Kanzaki County, the current population of the family territory is about 100,000 people, but these are based on the statistics of the seized account books, and the exact population situation will not be known until the territorial law is implemented in the next few months, and the owners are registered. The population is expected to increase. Togo Heiji said.

"Hmm," Masaro nodded. The population of 100,000 is not much, but this is the Warring States period, and due to the war and the level of social development, the population of Japan as a whole is actually quite high. Masaro once read a statistic in later generations, which probably means that the total population of Japan at that time was about 10 million. Of course, this figure is not accurate, after all, in the absence of statistics, no one can say what the real population is. But Kyushu, a remote part of Japan, has a population of one million in Masahiro's view. Therefore, in the eyes of the Warring States period, a population of 100,000 is considered a lot.

In Zhengliang's view, such a population is really not much. Zhengliang quickly calculated that among the 100,000 people, according to the current productivity, there are about 70,000 young people, and most of the remaining 30,000 people are young children, but there are not too many old people. Of the 70,000 young and able-bodied, excluding women and children and some who were unable to participate in the war for various reasons, it is conservatively estimated that only about 40,000 are suitable for the war. According to the ratio of ten to one, Masahiro can barely organize a standing army of about 4,000 people. The so-called lord of a country is just so strong. So, the population is really not much.

"In terms of weapons, plus the weapons seized during this period, there are currently more than 3,000 spears in our warehouse; more than 1,000 swords of all kinds; There are more than 500 bows and bows, and more than 300 bows and arrows of various types; In addition to the sufficiency purchased by His Royal Highness in Sakai Town, it is estimated that there will be more than 2,300 pairs of armor in the family, and more than 100 pairs of armor in the rest. Togo Heiji opened the account and began to read, "Due to the consumption during this time, only fifteen barrels of fire oil purchased from the Ming Kingdom remained; Combined with the war horses purchased by His Highness in Sakai Town and the seizures made during this period, the family is currently expected to have one hundred and sixty war horses; 366 head of cattle; more than 300 pairs of naval combat rattan cards; After occupying Kashima Castle of the Arima family, the family got a part of the ships, and at present the family has a total of 55 ships, 172 Kozao, 15 Dutch, and 12 merchant ships. Due to the damage to the weapons of each team participating in the battle, it is expected that the reserve of various weapons will be reduced after replenishing the weapons of each team. "Actually, there are thirteen arquebuses, thirty-one fires, and fifteen boxes of gunpowder, and since they are confidential, even Togo Heiji doesn't know the way.
