On the afternoon of April 25, the ninth year of astronomy. The sun is setting in the west, and the evening breeze is gently blowing.

In the open space in front of the gate of the bandit cottage, more than 150 men, women, and children knelt on the ground in a disorderly manner, most of them bowed their heads and trembled slightly. An hour ago, through the oral accounts of the bandits who surrendered, these people knew everything that happened in the Langdao cottage, and although they were repeatedly told that the new lord would not harm them, they were still terrified, and some even thought that the new lord was actually the new bandit leader.

Masarashi is very aware of the thoughts of these people, and if these people's ideas are allowed to grow, it is likely to lead these people to try their best to escape. Once they escape, the destruction of the bandits in the territory will be revealed, and they will inevitably attract the siege of the powerful and other bandits in the vicinity, who have long coveted the territory. In this regard, Zhengliang can't arrange a large number of people to take care of these people, right? Therefore, Zhengliang can only come to inspect these newly joined lords in person, in order to stabilize the hearts of these people as soon as possible and ensure the stability of the territory.

Standing on the improvised platform, Masashi slowly glanced at the people below, and then said, "Everyone, from today onwards, there will be no more bandits in the wild high mountains, no matter what you have done before, you will no longer be held accountable, and now you will become my people." I, Luo Zhengliang, your new lord, will ensure that you live in peace. But...", Masarashi looked at the crowd driven by his words just now, and said solemnly, "Whoever tries to escape from the territory or does not follow the arrangement of the territory, they will be the end", Masarashi pointed to the right with his right hand, and saw that there were four heads hanging on several wooden pillars there, which were the heads of the father and son of Banshi Daro and the second father and son of Oishino.

"Ahh Masarashi did not continue to look at the performance of the crowd, but slowly walked down the high platform, and glanced at Kizaburo, who was already waiting below and was already anxious. Kizaburo immediately bowed and saluted, then climbed up to the high platform in two steps and three steps, and stood on it looking anxiously from the side, hoping to find something out of the crowd. But most people keep their heads down, making it difficult to identify.

In fact, more than an hour ago, with the permission of Masabi, Kizaburo had already searched for his sister who had been snatched away two years ago in the cottage, but still found nothing.

"Sister, are you there?" , There was really no way, Xi Saburo had to shout to the crowd below, "Sister, I'm Xi Saburo, Xi Saburo from Komaki Village, woo woo, are you here... Your lord, I have brought me to save you." After shouting several times in a row, but there was still no response from the crowd, Kizaburo was a little desperate, he fell to his knees on the high platform, looked up at the sky, and began to cry at the top of his throat. For a child who lost his father at the age of 13 and took care of his bedridden mother and young sister alone, the hope of recovering his robbed sister now seems to be shattered. Mournful cries swirled over the silent clearing, making the atmosphere even more sad.

In this situation, how can people be embarrassed?

"Hey!" , Silently sighed in his heart, in fact, Masarashi didn't have much hope for this at the beginning, but he couldn't bear to hit the hope of this child who had always been strong, so after learning that Kizaburo's search was fruitless, he still arranged for him to take the opportunity of this gathering to search carefully again.

"Wow!" Just as Masahara was about to turn around and leave, a crisp baby cry suddenly came from the originally quiet crowd, which was obviously resonated by Kizaburo's cry and cried too. Masayo followed the prestige, only to see a woman with a ragged hair and clothes standing up tremblingly, holding a crying baby wrapped in rags in her arms. The woman squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, staggering towards the high platform, her pale lips trembling slightly with excitement, "Three... Saburo, yes... Is that you? ”…,

"Sister?" , Kizaburo on the high platform obviously recognized his sister, and jumped off the high platform desperately, rolling and crawling to meet the woman.

"Saburo! "Sister! Finally, the two met, and after looking at each other for a short time, they hugged each other tightly and couldn't help crying. The people around him who had the same experience couldn't help but feel emotion and wept one after another. For a moment, a cry rang out in the clearing.

"Whew", take a deep breath, it turns out that miracles really exist! Political conscience sighed. He turned to look at the retainers behind him, and found that all the people were sighing, and Togo Heiji was even already in tears, perhaps moved and relieved, or perhaps blaming himself for not protecting them in the first place.

"Hehehe, everyone, it is a happy thing to reunite with relatives! Pingji, it's up to you to take care of this, so appease them. Tadajiro, summon the two newly appointed craftsmen to me." Masato calmed down a little, and then said. This result is the best, Kizaburo's family is reunited, and through this incident, it also greatly shortens the psychological distance between him, the new lord, and these new lords, and reduces the fear in their hearts.

"Villain, friendly guard, meet Your Highness", "Villain, true help, meet Your Highness". When the two of them heard that the lord had summoned them, they hurriedly trotted over, and after saluting Masayo, they both looked uneasy.

"Well, welcome both of you to our family. In the future, I will leave the wooden tools and construction work of the territory to the two of you," Masarashi said with a smile to the two craftsmen kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, Your Highness", the two of them usually face fierce and vicious bandits, and today they suddenly received the courtesy of the new lord, obviously they didn't get used to it, so they had to bow down again at a loss.

"Hehe, Yubei, you take this, study it, and see if you can make it", Masarashi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yubei. On the paper, a wooden chair was drawn with a brush, which was drawn on the improvise of Masahiro before he inspected the new leaders. In fact, he was very unaccustomed to the way of sitting on his knees in this era, and after sitting for a long time, his legs came out, so after hearing that there were carpenters in the cottage, he planned to build a few chairs. Of course, he did not intend to implement this way of sitting, after all, everyone was accustomed to the etiquette of sitting on the knees, and there was no need to change it at the risk of arousing the objections of his retainers, and Masahiro intended to use it for his own private time to rest.

Youbei hurriedly got up and took Masahiro's paper, carefully studied the pattern on the paper, frowned, and said in the end, "Your Highness, the villain has never made such a wooden tool, but the villain can try." ”

"Hmm. But be careful not to leak this pattern, just limit it to a few intellectuals present. In addition, during this time, you should pay attention to cooperate with Tadajiro to build farm tools, and you can find Kosuke to help solve the problem of insufficient farm tools in the territory as soon as possible. In terms of manpower, I will arrange for some little ones to help you as apprentices, and their food will be taken care of by the territory", Masarashi nodded and ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness," the friendly guards bowed.

"Masuke, how long will it take to repair the current cottage wall?" , After ordering the friendly guards, Masarashi turned to look at Masuke and said.

"Your Highness, if we just re-build the foundation, and then use wood and mud as the city wall, if there are enough manpower, it will take about half a month; If stone is used and the walls are built into stone walls, it will take about four or five months", Masuke frowned and calculated, and then reported.

"So long?" , Zhengliang didn't expect that it would take so long to simply build the wall of the cottage, the city wall using wood and mud is the first thing to exclude, such a structure can collapse the city wall in a typhoon, and it takes too long to use stones, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, once too many people are transferred, the construction progress of the territory will be greatly delayed. The government affairs pondered for a while, and then said, "You come with me", and after speaking, he took the lead and walked to the back of the cottage. …,

Under the leadership of Masashi, the group soon came to the vicinity of the copper mine, where a large amount of excavated earth and stones were placed, and a small stream about five meters wide flowed slowly along the terrain not far away. "See there?" Masarashi pointed to a small hill near the woods not far away, "There are several earthen kilns built according to this pattern, and the more earthen kilns the better," Masarashi said as he took the pen and paper that he had already instructed his surname Sahachiro to prepare in advance, and drew a pattern of a simple brick kiln on a piece of paper.

"Yes, Your Highness, this can be done tomorrow", Shinsuke once followed his father to build the castle tower for the Daimyo, and such a simple cave construction was indeed very simple for him.

"See these loesses?" After making sure that Masuke understood the structure of the brick kiln, Masara pointed to the pile of loess in front of him and continued, "Gather the loess into a pile, hollow it out in the middle, pour in clear water, and start to mix mud after two hours." When smashing with mud, the stickiness of the soil increases, at least twice, and the soil is evenly dried and thin, so that it can be made into an adobe. ”

Shinsuke didn't understand what the lord asked him to do, but he still recorded Masayo's request word by word on the paper.

"Then find someone to level a vacant lot in front of the kiln, the larger the clearing, the better, after leveling, cover the flat land with a layer of fine white sand, and the white sand will be dug from the creek, and at the same time repair the embankment along the river," Masaro continued to instruct, "Yubei, you can make dozens of such molds from dried wood according to this pattern." Masahiro painted a mold of bricks, and the wooden furniture was made of wooden planks 40 cm long, 20 cm wide, and 1 cm high, which were enclosed in a rectangle by two pairs, and the bottom was spliced with one to three planks about 45 cm long.

"Yes, Your Highness," the friendly guard hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Masuke, after the mold of the friendly soldier is ready, you arrange for someone to fill the mold with these good mud, smash it, and put it on the field, open the mold after the most, and form a strip of building mud after the most. After the surface of the mud turns white, the mud can be erected and dried, and when it is dry, it can be put away and stored aside, but be careful not to get wet by the rain", Masayo continued to instruct, "After these are ready, cut down more firewood from the nearby mountains, but only the larger trees are allowed, and the small trees are not allowed to be cut down." Of course, it would be better to arrange for people to burn more charcoals." Masahiro doesn't want to cut down all the trees on the mountain and cause landslides or mudslides when it rains.

At the end, Masarashi told Shinsuke in detail about the calcination process and precautions, as well as the water supply skills after the kiln was fired. Shinsuke is recorded in detail one by one.

"Masuke, if this mud can be successful, we won't need to use stone anymore. As for manpower, you'll start recruiting people from among the people tomorrow, and the exact number will be decided by you in consultation with Shinsuke. "Everyone's five buckets of grain a month," said Masayo, "but you must remember that what is being said here today must not be passed on. All the people involved in these works and their families moved to settle in the cottage, and some fields were cultivated outside the cottage and distributed to them. Guangzong, you arrange for people to guard the entrance to the canyon, and no one is allowed to leave without my permission. In the future, this canyon will become an important secret point of the territory. ”

"Yes, Your Highness", seeing the extremely serious expression of the lord, everyone secretly woke up in their hearts and responded in unison.

After instructing the brick-burning work, Masara thought about cement again. In this era, mud or mortar is generally used for construction, and once it is soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to have problems, so Masahiro decided to try to make his own cement, even if it is not high-quality cement, but inferior cement, the effect is much better than the current mud. So Masarashi once again explained to Shinsuke in detail the raw materials and methods of clay cement. As for lime and clay, which are the raw materials for cement, you can find them in the wild mountains. Of course, the work of burning bricks is still preferred, and it is not too late to consider the forging of cement after the brick-burning work is on the right track.

By the time everything was done, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and the sun was sinking in the west. Everyone took the order and left, and Masato also walked to his new home.
