The diversion of slaves according to their performance was also a method of effective management of slaves.

Everything has two sides, and while these slaves have always created value for the Luo family, they have also been an unstable factor within the Luo family's territory. In order to keep an eye on these slaves, a number of retired standing and reserve peasants formed a large number of guards to guard these slaves.

However, the long-term implementation of a tough policy against them will only make the pent-up discontent in their hearts more and more heavy, and eventually there will always be a day when it will erupt (although in order to prevent these slaves from rioting or escaping en masse, there is a limit to the daily food they are given, but in the long run, there will always be a day of negligence, and if these slaves riot, it will definitely cause some trouble to the territory). The adoption of the diversion of well-behaved slaves to work on slave farms continued to disperse the number of these slaves, and at the same time gave them a comparison or a better goal to strive for, thus diverting their discontent.

With the exception of a few stubborn slaves, most of the rest wanted to get into the slave farms as soon as possible, and then get the status of a lord and regain their freedom.

In addition to solving the problem of the resettlement of these slaves, Masahiro also had his purpose in establishing a slave farm. The first is to promote the planting of some new crops in it to see how many new crops are produced locally. The second is to provide logistical food for the military strength of the Luo family and official institutions at all levels.

At present, in the territory of the Luo family, there are five slave farms in Hizen Province, six slave farms in Higo Province, and three slave farms in Chikugo Province. All of these farms are farm-grown in the form of mulberry fish ponds.

The so-called mulberry fishpond model. It is a comprehensive fish farming method of fish farming in the pond and mulberry in the pond. Start with mulberry planting. The production cycle of fish farming ends with sericulture. It constitutes a close relationship between mulberry, silkworm and fish, and forms a relatively complete energy flow system of mulberry planting, mulberry leaf silkworm raising, silkworm cocooning, silkworm sand, silkworm pupa, silk reeling wastewater fish farming, fish manure and other mud fertilizer mulberry. In this system, silk is an intermediate product and no longer enters the material cycle. Fresh fish is the ultimate product, providing people with consumption.

This planting mode can promote the development of mulberry planting, sericulture and fish farming, and drive the progress of the textile industry such as silk reeling, which has a great role in promoting the internal affairs of the Luo family. Of course. At present, the Luo family's textile workshop, sericulture and other work have just started, and even the most basic raw material mulberry forest is not much, and it will take a long time to form this real mulberry fish pond model. So Masahiro has also made some changes to this model.

In addition to building sericulture houses, he also built some pigsties and chicken coops on the foundations of the various fish ponds on the farm. At the same time, in addition to planting mulberry trees, they also planted crops such as sacred melons, corn, and various wild vegetables (these crops are an important food source for the food house). There are also soybeans and sugar cane.

Soybeans were brought from Mingguo by Ming merchants last year, and it is said that the yield is good, and it is an important crop to solve the problem of food and clothing. But the only drawback is that it requires a lot of fertilizer to grow well. Therefore, the nearby pigsty, chicken coop pig manure, chicken manure and other fertilizers just bring a lot of fertilizer to it, and the pond brings them sufficient water.

As for sugar cane, it was discovered in the Satsuma region by the people of Masayo. It is said that sugar cane has been introduced from China for a long time. However, it has not been promoted locally. Knowing the value of sugar cane, Masayo naturally let it go, and sent people to collect a large amount of sugar cane from all over the country and began to cultivate it on various slave farms.

For farms. Mulberry, soybeans and sugarcane are the latest crops to be introduced to the farm this year, and Masahiro has great expectations for these crops.

The mulberry tree is the food of silkworms, and its smooth growth ensures that the work of raising silkworms and the subsequent establishment of textile workshops can be carried out smoothly. If the trial here can be successful, when the textile workshop is on the right track, Zhengliang will promote the cultivation of mulberry trees and the breeding of silkworms on a large scale within the territory, and transfer the production of silk to the people, and the Luo family's textile workshop will only be responsible for processing silk. In this way, it will not only promote the improvement of the lives of the people, but also increase the source of income for the Cabinet of the Interior.

For soybeans. Masato hopes that it can become the main food of another territory after the god melon, waterway, and wheat. It is important to know that a territory has a wide variety of food crops to ensure that it can resist a natural disaster.

In addition, Masayo also hopes to use soybeans to study the marching miso of the Roche family. Since the last failed attempt to make miso, Masarashi has been trying to find a way to make a miso that meets the actual conditions of the Luo family. With Miso, the Luo family's army will be able to get greater logistical support in the future.

As for the last sugar cane, Masashi hopes to use it to build a sugar factory. Sugar is a rare and precious food in the local area, and for many people, it is no different from ginseng fruit. Not to mention that the general public has no chance to taste this "delicacies in the world", even the ordinary wealthy daimyo is not something that can be eaten if they want to. Wealthy people buy some sugar as raw materials and other desserts (such as bean buns) as gifts, which is a face-saving thing, and the person who receives the gift will also feel that the gift is very precious. In this case, Masahiro naturally hopes to make a fortune by making sugar.

In general, slave farms were all about growing some newly discovered crops and then testing their results. In this era, food is the lifeblood of the people, and the people of the rest of the regions will not necessarily accept new crops, except for the people of the die-hard areas of Notakayama, who will accept them without scruples. Therefore, Masahiro must first test the farm and get satisfactory results, so that the retainers and people of the territory know that after planting these new crops, they will be able to harvest, so that they can start to spread smoothly in all regions of the territory.

In addition, the farm provided sufficient logistical food for the Luo family's military forces and various institutions. Almost all of the vegetables they need on a daily basis are grown from these farms. And the fish, chicken, pork and other meats they usually eat are mainly farmed here.

Similarly, these farms were also experimental farms for domesticating a variety of domestic animals and promoting captive breeding to the people of the territory. After seeing the breeding effect of these farms, the people around the farms will naturally imitate it. Then, it spreads to other regions in ten or ten places, and finally achieves the effect of propaganda and diffusion. (To be continued......)
