After some evaluation, a morning is about to pass in the blink of an eye.

After sending Kizaburo to the village outside the cottage to mobilize the children who meet the conditions to participate in the school in the territory, only Masashi was left in the entire council. Now there is no one else in the entire lord's mansion to call on except for the two ashigaru who are in charge of guarding the gate. Looking at the back of Kisaburo who was getting farther and farther away in the corridor, Masato secretly smiled bitterly, the territory was still short of people.

I was about to get up and take a look in the courtyard, when I suddenly saw Togo Heiji going and returning, probably just waiting outside, and came in immediately after seeing Masayo arrange the affairs.

"Heiji, what else do you have to do?" , Zhengliang felt a little strange, if there was something that needed to be reported, what didn't he say just now.

"Your Highness, there is a shortage of agricultural tools in the territory now, and if it is not solved, it will affect the progress of field reclamation?" Togo Heiji said, "In addition, from tomorrow the implementation of the new law of the territory, most of the people will return to their fields, then there will be no manpower to reclaim the fields, do you consider organizing them to participate in forced labor to reclaim the land according to the law regulations?" ”

"Well, I've already arranged for Tadajiro to speed up the forging of farm tools. In this case, arrange for a few more men and apprentices to help," replied Masara, "as for the problem of land reclamation, do as you think, and issue a notice of conscription in the afternoon." Mobilize the people to participate in the conscription, half a day of conscription, and half a day let the leaders manage their own fields. The conscription support (i.e., the reward) is determined by you and Kosuke according to the actual effect. ”

Dongxiang Heiji immediately became a little anxious when he heard Masaliang's reply, now there is a shortage of people everywhere in the territory, and there is someone to arrange for Tadajiro, as for those apprentices, they still have to participate in the territory's academy in the morning, and only the afternoon time can help, and they can only do some work such as adding fire and handing over tea, that can solve the problem, "Your Highness, except for a few people led by Tadajiro yesterday, there is no manpower to arrange anymore, and those apprentices can't help much!" ”

"Pingji, the problem of manpower, I have no choice for the time being, I can only hope that the country will recruit more displaced people as soon as possible", Masara is helpless about this, he can't let the current territory of Ashigaru go to reclaim the fields, now is the time to train against time, "That's it, I'm ready to let Kikuhime be in charge of the coins of the territory, you go to her in the afternoon to get 100 kan, and then arrange for a few ashigaru to go to Heisataro in Tanoo Castle to see if you can buy some more farm tools?" ”。 Originally, Masara planned to ask Togo Heiji to bring more coins, but thinking about the weight of 100 koku, it was enough, and they couldn't hold it any more, and it was eye-catching.

"That's right", Togo Heiji patted his head when he heard this, and suddenly woke up, "Your Majesty will leave for Tianao Castle tomorrow, and the last time I heard Taro talk about it, there are still a lot of farm tools in the castle lord's warehouse." ”

"No, Heiji, it's okay to send a few Ashigaru who know Tairasataro with your letters, and try to buy as much food as possible", as the number of displaced people recruited in the territory continues to increase, the more food the better, "As for you, let's go down and arrange it in person according to the results of the assessment, this period is an important period for the development of the territory." Just kidding, once Togo Heiji arrives at Tianye Tail City, he will have to go for at least two days, and only Masayo himself will arrange the agricultural and civil affairs in the territory, so won't he be exhausted to death?

"Yes, Your Highness," Togo Heiji bowed, "Also, Your Highness, even if you have enough farming tools, it will be difficult to remove them in a short time even if you use the method of fire that Your Highness taught you to burn. ”

"That's it", Masara frowned and pondered for a while, then picked up a piece of paper beside him, drew a few patterns on it, and handed it to Togo Heiji, while saying, "This is a double saw, this is a single saw, both are used for logging; These two are hoes, which are used to eradicate shrubs and weeds; The last one is used to dig deep into the earth, and these are all built by Tadajiro. Once you have learned how to build it, burn the pattern immediately. ”…,

"Yes, Your Highness", Togo Heiji solemnly took the drawing into his arms.

"Is there any progress on the cattle and horses that you are asking for?" , Masara suddenly remembered what Togo Heiji asked to inquire about some time ago. In fact, there are more than a dozen ploughs in the territory now, but there are no ploughing oxen or horses, so they have to be put aside for the time being, and if there are ploughing oxen or horses, the speed of land reclamation will be much faster.

"Your Highness, Higashimatsuura's location is relatively remote, and cattle and horses are relatively scarce and very valuable, even if the family has the means to buy them, once they pass through other powerful territories, they are likely to be robbed," Togo Heiji replied with a sad face.

"In this way, we can only rely on the method of manual cultivation by the people for the time being," Masara said with a sigh.

"Your Highness, can the eleven slaves in the cell consider arranging for the cultivation of the fields?" , Heiji Togo suggested.

"No, I've already arranged for them to serve in the conscription at Masuke's", these eleven slaves are the only few free laborers in the territory at present, of course, they are arranged to do some heavy forced labor, not to mention that arranging the cultivation of the fields requires them to master the hoe, in case they escape or riot, what can they do? In order to prevent this from happening, I had to arrange more ashigaru guards, which is a bit uneconomical.

"Oh, this is indeed a miscalculation on the part of His Majesty", after hearing Masayo's reply, Togo Heiji immediately came to his senses.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a request", after reporting the farming, Togo Heiji suddenly knelt on the ground and said solemnly.

This guy behaved strangely today, and Masarashi looked at Togo Heiji, who was kneeling on the ground, with puzzled eyes, and said, "Say it." As long as I can do it, I will consider it. ”

"Your Highness, as a wife, Ju Ji has already fully realized. Please forgive Your Highness for arranging Kikuhime in His Highness's mansion on his own initiative, and Kikuhime will fulfill his responsibilities as a wife in the future", Togo Heiji solemnly kowtowed, and then continued, "In order to reassure all the retainers and the stability of the people of the territory, please complete the marriage as soon as possible and give birth to the young lord as soon as possible." Seeing that Matsumiko as a maid is becoming more and more favored, and even Masato specially arranged affairs for her, and at the same time Kosuke also stuffed his daughter to Masara, both of whom are very good-looking, Togo Heiji felt that his daughter's status was threatened, so he did not hesitate to send his daughter to Masayo's mansion in advance, wanting to "cook raw rice and mature rice" as soon as possible, so that Masato can determine Kikuhime's status.

What the? It turns out that this guy has been talking for a long time, and the main purpose is this. Masato found that he underestimated the thoughts of these retainers in this regard, and underestimated the many conjectures of the retainers caused by arranging affairs to the women around him, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Hehe, Pingji, I'll get married right away when the territory is on the right track. Don't worry, haven't you heard that I've handed over the coin management of the territory and the management of the orphans of the warriors to Juhime? In order to calm the old minister's worries, Masato had to remind Dongxiang Heiji.

"Your Excellency thanks to Your Highness for your painstaking arrangements, please rest assured that Ju Ji will definitely fulfill her duties as a wife", Togo Heiji bowed and saluted.

"Alright, Heiji, let's just decide. You go down and quickly arrange the affairs of the territory, and I will also go to the backyard to see Ju Ji, I haven't seen her for a few days? ", Masashi said lightly.

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty will go down immediately to make arrangements", Togo Heiji bowed and quickly withdrew from the council hall.
