Chapter 500: Autumn Harvest Riot

After some haggling, the emissary of the Kikuchi family finally reached an agreement with Honganji Shoyi. The Kikuchi family gets the results he needs, and Honganji Shangyi has a huge plan from this.

Honganji Shoyi intends to launch a cross-Kyushu Ichijo Tsuichi, and although the strength of the Ichijo sect in the rest of Kyushu is actually very weak except for Higo, Honganji Shoyi intends to contact forces such as the original owner of Satsuma Osumi, the people of Hayato, to launch this Ichijo together. I don't want to overthrow the rule of the local lords, but I want to deepen the influence of the Ichijo sect in Kyushu, so that the Ichijo sect can officially enter the political arena of Kyushu and create a feat like the Honganji Renru.

Just when Honganji Shoyi began to plan a plan that had been running across the entire Kyushu, Masashi was already busy with the government affairs of the territory. After the battle with the Otomo family, Masarashi officially ordered the demolition of the built Kamaike Castle, Ikutsukan, and Kaizu Castle, and at the same time officially built the original temporary castle at the foot of Mt. Takara as a checkpoint for entering and exiting the border of the Otomo family's territory in the future.

This time, the teams that participated in the war also returned to their original stations after being rewarded according to their military merits.

And the Higo Koyo family, after this war, also officially exposed the fact that they were loyal to the Luo family, and Masayo simply asked people to set up checkpoints in various passages in Higo Tamana County, and officially included Higo Tamana County in the jurisdiction of the Luo family.

But this move really surprised the Otsu Mountain family and the Heren family near Xiaodai's house, and they were afraid that the Luo family would attack them at this time, so they sent envoys to come with gifts to make friends with the Luo family. In addition to these two families, the Kusano family of Chikugo and the Goto Navy also sent people to make friends.

For the friendship of these wealthy people. Masahiro gladly accepted. After all, the autumn harvest is approaching. And just after the big battle with the Otomo family, the soldiers also need to rest. Moreover, Masahiro also intends to temporarily paralyze these wealthy families, and then take advantage of this time to recuperate and recuperate while secretly preparing armaments.

After handling military affairs and foreign affairs, Masashi inspected the preparations for the autumn harvest. In the course of his inspection, Masara found that most of the cultivation in the territory relied on manpower, but the plow, which was one of the important farming tools in farming, was not widely used.

The plough is an extremely important production tool in the history of agricultural development. Although some plows have been introduced to Fuso from China, it is strange to Masahiro. These agricultural tools are not widely available in the local area. However, when he thought that when he came here, those people didn't even know about the fire ash fertilization method, he was relieved.

On second thought, these plows were powered by oxen or horses, but oxen and horses were valuable to the general public. And even if some people are willing to use it, they use people instead of livestock to pull these plows to plough the land, and the natural penetration rate is low.

Now, there are many horses in the Luo family's ploughing cattle that cannot even become war horses, and the time is naturally ripe to promote ploughing. So Masashi personally designed a plough for later generations according to his memory. He then gave it to Tadajiro, who was in charge of making agricultural tools, and asked him to find some carpenters and blacksmiths. Responsible for building this plough, after the trial, if the effect is good, it will start to build in large quantities, and then promote it in the territory of the Luo family. Masashi also gave this kind of ploughing a name, called the Roche plow.

Just when Masarashi was busy with territorial affairs, he finally received an urgent report from Shinnosuke Akabane, the representative of Tsurujo Castle. It turned out that after Kikuchi Yoshitake reached an agreement with Honganji Shangyi, in order to have an explanation to the Luo family and secretly hoped that the Luo family would participate in this plan, he ordered someone to secretly tell Shinnosuke Akabane about the plan they were about to promote. Shinnosuke Akabane, who knew the importance of the matter, immediately sent the information to Masarashi.

When Masara saw it, he was taken aback. There is also a sect in Kyushu? According to his understanding of history, it seems that almost all of the power of the Ichijo sect was concentrated in the area, the Hokuriku region (Kaga, Echichu, Noto, and Echizen), the Tokai region (Mikawa, Owari, and Mino), the Hida region bordering Mino in Vietnam, and the Chugoku region (Aki, Harima, Bizen, and Bichu). Now there is a Zong in Kyushu?

Surprised, Masara no longer cared about Kikuchi Yoshitake and Honganji Shoyi's plan, nor did he care about Akabane Shinnosuke's suggestion about this plan, but directly ordered someone to find the military advisors Kakuma Ishizong and Yamamoto Kansuke, as well as the Kusakawa Shoki and Genji, who were in charge of the management of the temple shrine in the territory.

"My lord, the matter of the fat queen, the family must participate, but compared to the matter of the fat queen, the family should pay more attention to the situation of the sect in the territory of the family." Kansuke Yamamoto, who has traveled all over the world and knows the power of the Sect well, spoke first.

"These fake monks are the scum of Buddhism, and they should be exterminated." Compared with Yamamoto Kansuke, Sakukawa Shaoxi and Genji have a more intense attitude.

Why do they hate the Sect so much, it starts with the rise of the Sect. After the Onin Rebellion, Japan suffered from war disasters one after another. The people have no means of making a living. From the ministers to the commoners, they all wanted to be liberated through religion. Some schools of thought came into being, including the Nichiren sect, which evolved from the Tendai sect. Nichiren Buddhism advocates that believers can become Buddhas by reciting the Horenge-kyo Sutra day and night. The Pure Land sect that arose at the same time was simpler, and the propaganda did not need to go through the temple, as long as the chant of "Nan no Amitabha" every day could alleviate sins and get rid of the sea of suffering. The Pure Land Shinshu after the Pure Land Sect went even more extremely, abolishing all the rules and precepts, and the believers could achieve the right result without even becoming a monk. The Pure Land Shinshu vigorously advocated the excesses of the so-called wicked, attracting a large number of soldiers, samurai, and thieves to become religious. Only with faith in the Buddha can disciples of the Pure Land Shin Sect be reborn in the "Pure Land".

During this period, the Ichisō sect, which caused a monstrous disaster, was born from Honganji Temple, the Pure Land Shinshu sect. The eighth generation of the Dharma Master of the Ichijo sect, the monk Renru of Honganji Temple, personally went to the countryside to preach, attracting a large number of disciples. The peasants spontaneously organized themselves and formed peasant associations similar to those of the church. They practiced together, but more often than not they met to discuss various matters in the village. As a result of the war, such peasant associations gradually evolved into armed self-defense organizations. When the village-to-village ties became closer, the peasant union became stronger. They often clinged together to resist the payment of land rent, and even drove out the lords to establish theocratic political organizations. This is the origin of the Eternal Hammer. As a result of these peasant uprisings, many feudal states, such as Kaga, became known as the "land of the people." The god of the Asakura family, Asakura Sodrus, has been fighting against them for most of his life. It is also heard from time to time that a powerful force in various places is fighting each other because of conflicts of interest.

With the rapid development of the Orthodox sect, it overwhelmed the old sect of Buddhism in a very short period of time. Therefore, as representatives of the old sect that believed in self-cultivation and cultivation, Kuaikawa Shaoxi and Genji naturally would not have a good impression of the Ichikotsu.

Compared to Yamamoto Kansuke, Kusakawa Shaoxi, and Genji, the Kakukuma Ishizong had never witnessed the Ichikoshi Sect's initiation, but he also knew that there were many temples in Kyushu with a large number of monks and soldiers, and these temples were actually a local wealthy family, so he also realized that if this kind of temple that could easily incite the people existed, the rule of the territory would also be an extremely serious problem.

"My lord, this matter should be carefully deployed, and take advantage of this opportunity to uproot this hidden force in the territory." After thinking about it for a while, Kakukuma Ishizong directly gave a suggestion.

"Well, that's true!" Masarashi nodded and said.

"In that case, after the two of you go back, you will immediately organize people to check all the temples and shrines in the territory one by one, and for those who do not have the degree distributed by your family, you will secretly record them, but remember not to startle the snake, and hand over this information to the detectives of your own family." After thinking for a while, Masahiro said to Kuaikawa Shaoxi and Xuanji. (To be continued......)
