After more than ten years of development, many workshops have been established in Hizen Province, Chikugo Province and other places, in addition to the aforementioned paper printing workshop, textile workshop, cement workshop, ceramic workshop, there are other workshops, including:

Shochu Workshop, the only shochu workshop in the Roche family, is located in the castle town of Kishidake Castle, where it mainly brews sake and shochu. Sake is mainly sold inside and outside the territory, while shochu, as a strategic material, is currently only provided to the military for daily consumption (especially in winter to ward off the cold) and medicine (shochu has a disinfecting effect), and the recipe and brewing process of shochu are absolutely not allowed to be leaked to the outside world.

At present, there are a total of nine salt farms jointly operated by the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet and the people, including five in Hizen Province, one in Chikugo Province, two in Higo Province, and one in Fenggo Province. The salt factory adopts advanced salt drying technology in the salt field to ensure the need for salt in the Luo family's territory, and at the same time, it is also sold as a commodity, and its sales scope includes not only the Warring States period, but also the Ming Kingdom and the coastal areas of Korea (smuggling and selling salt). Similarly, the Cabinet also adopts strict secrecy technology for this salt-drying technology, and it is strictly forbidden to be known by other forces.

Most of the coarse salt produced in the salt works will flow into the internal and external markets of the Luo family, while the remaining part will be transported to the snow salt factory near Hizen Kunino Takayama for processing, and some of the snow salt produced here will be digested by the Luo family (mainly purchased by the wealthy group), and the rest will be sold to merchants in the Ming Kingdom, Nanban merchants, and other parts of the Warring States period.

There is only one carpentry workshop and one ironwork workshop, both of which are concentrated in the vicinity of Notakayama. In the past, these two workshops, which concentrated a large number of craftsmen in the Luo family's territory, were used to create weapons and agricultural tools at the same time. But then. It's just about crafting and maintaining weapons. As for the construction and maintenance of agricultural tools, they were handed over to the carpenter's and ironsmith's houses that appeared in various parts of the territory. Even the farm implements of the Interior Pavilion were handed over to the craftsmen's houses in these various places to be completed together.

Slave farms, there are currently 35 farms in Hizen Province, 15 farms in Chikugo Province, 20 farms in Higo Province, 20 farms in Bungo Province, and 10 farms in Chikuzen Province, a total of 100 slave farms and more than 20,000 slaves. Since he had obtained a lot of slaves in the western kingdom this time, Masara was ready to establish more than 100 new slave farms in the Nagato country, Zhou defense country, and Anyi country.

The slaves of these slave farms were in a much better situation than the laborers who were forced to work for breaking the law or being hostile to the Luo family (some of the laborers who were sentenced to death would even become targets for blood training in the Nogaoshan military training camp). In fact, they are just working for the Luo family for a certain amount of time without pay under the condition of being guaranteed food and clothing and health. When the slave period is up (those who are excellent will also be treated with the early expiration of the term of service). The Cabinet of the Interior will give different rewards to these slaves according to their performance during their service, and at the same time place them to settle in the newly occupied area of the Luo family and become new lords.

Therefore, in fact, the only thing these slaves have lost is freedom and the right to get paid, and all they have to pay is the right to labor, so as to obtain food, clothing and health. Such treatment made even some displaced people and peasants in other parts of the Warring States willing to give up their original identities. Become a slave of the Roche family.

These slave farms were not only free labor for the Roche family. It is also a testing ground for Roche's new technology. The slaves in the slave farm, among them, as the main culprits who implicated their families and became slaves (generally prisoners of war who fought against the Luo family and were captured) will be the main force of the Luo family's heavy work such as building roads, improving water conservancy, building cities, and building houses, while their family members will farm fields for the Luo family for free, participate in workshop work, etc. In addition, some of the agricultural and industrial technologies newly researched by the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet will generally be tested and implemented in these slave farms, and the actual results will be fully promoted to the territory after confirming the actual results.

It is worth mentioning that these slave farms are also good demonstration sites for the promotion of the Roche family system. The actual planting effect of these farms in Tong Guò often prompted the people of the newly occupied areas in the vicinity to take the initiative to accept the qiē promoted by the Luo family. More importantly, these slaves have been influenced and controlled by the culture and system of the Luo family in the process of living on the farm, and when their service period expires, they are assigned to a newly occupied area of the Luo family, which will naturally become a model for the surrounding local people. This routine also facilitated the integration of the local people into the Luo family's ruling system.

The fishpond is a workshop because in addition to fish farming, mulberry and cotton trees are planted around the pond, and chickens are raised (in fact, Masara also intends to encourage the people to raise ducks). These pond systems not only provided a lot of raw materials for the workshop, but also improved the water system in the area around the ponds. They are a buffer zone during floods and a source of irrigation water during droughts.

More importantly, with the large increase in fish ponds (at present, there are more than 300 fish ponds in the Luo family's Hizen State, more than 250 in the Higo State, more than 50 in Chikugo State, and more than 200 in Fenggo State, a total of more than 800 fish ponds. It became their food, and from making their bodies look good, it was greatly improved.

Miso Workshop, currently the only such workshop of the Luo family, is located in the mountain city of Kishidake, because it is a strategic material workshop of the Luo family, specifically for the use of military rations for the Luo family's army, so this workshop is strictly controlled by the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, and it is never allowed to leak secrets to the outside world. Similarly, the sugar factory, which is also located in the mountain city of Kishidake, is also an important strategic material for the Luo family, as an important trade material for the Luo family internally and externally (cane sugar is a rare thing in this era, so it is particularly precious, and the price is extremely high, which is one of the unique commodities of the Luo family. It was warmly welcomed by merchants from all over the Warring States period and the Ming Kingdom). The workshop is also under strict control.

Sum up. At present, there are a total of twenty-seven workshops in the Luo family's territory (not counting slave farms and fish ponds). Due to the limitations of technology and conditions, the main processes of these workshops were manually operated, so they also employed a large number of people, which initially formed the prototype of the handicraft industry. When the time is ripe in the future, Masahiro plans to promote handicrafts such as textiles to the people, and thoroughly develop the handicrafts of the Luo family among the people. Of course, considering the strategy and the need for secrecy, these workshops still need to be strictly controlled and kept secret by the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet for the time being.

In addition to the above-mentioned workshops. In fact, there are other workshops that are the main pillars of the Luo family's financial resources at present, they are the gold, silver and copper mines in the Luo family's territory, as well as the associated iron ore and lead ore deposits.

At present, the Luo family has a total of 34 mining workshops, and their distribution is that in Hizen Country, there are Yunye Silver Mountain, Void Mountain Copper Mine (with iron ore), Shiraishi Copper Mine (with iron ore), Tianshan Sulfur Mine, Imari Porcelain Clay Mine, Arita Porcelain Clay Mine, Kishigaku Limestone Mine, and Void Mountain Limestone Mine.

In Chikugo Country, there are Stone Cutting Silver Mountain, Feixingshan Gold Mine, Eagle Mountain Coal Mine, and Gaofeng Mountain Limestone Mine; In Higo Province, there are Miyahara Silver Mine, Saigake Copper Mine, and Asoyama Sulfur Mine (there are three sulfur mines in this mountain range, as well as a coal mine and a limestone mine).

Bungo country side. There are the Ohei Mine (there is a silver mine in each of the mine's mountain ranges, copper, lead, gold and tin mines with iron ore), and the Kujurenshan Sulfur Mine (there are two sulfur mines in the mountain range). Kuju Lianshan Coal Mine, Hita Sarayama Okada Porcelain Clay Mine, Yubuyak Limestone Mine.

On the side of Bunzen Province, there are only gold mines in Mt. Yinghiko; On the side of Nagato Province and Zhou Fangguo, there is a silver mine in Mt. Niutou and Mt. Hio at the junction of these two countries, and there is also a copper mine in Mt. Hanami in Nagato Province, all of which were originally mined by the Ouchi family, and as for whether there will be other local mineral deposits, we can only wait for the Cabinet to slowly explore.

In the last An Yi country, there is currently only one Eagle's Nest Mountain gold mine that was originally mined by the Maori family, and because the place was occupied by the Luo family at this time, the gold mine naturally fell into the hands of the Luo family. In fact, there was originally a gold mine in Sato County, but unfortunately it was emptied by the Ouchi family a few years ago, and at this time, there was only one Sato Gold Mountain Castle left, which proves that this gold mine was once stored. As for the two silver mines that have been discovered in An Yiguo, they are in the county of Shanxi, which is controlled by the Maori family. The county borders Iwami Province and Izumo Province respectively, and due to the fact that the two silver mines are deposited, the Niko family of Izumo Province has been trying to get involved in the area, and now there is the Luo family next to it, and the county can be said to be surrounded by the Niko family and the Maori family, I wonder if the Maori family will be able to keep the county and the two silver mines in the future?

In total, among all the mineral deposits discovered by the Roche family at this time, there are three gold mines, six silver mines, five copper mines (some semi-associated iron mines), one lead mine, one tin mine, six sulfur mines, three coal mines, three china clay mines, and six limestone mines, making a total of 34 mineral deposits. Each deposit formed a separate mining workshop, and the excavated raw ore would be transported to the mountain castle of Kishigaku for unified smelting (in order to keep the smelting technology imported from the Ming Kingdom secret). In this process, a large number of manpower is naturally required, which accelerates the formation of the prototype of industry and even transportation within the Roche family.

In the Luo family, the emergence of a new basic social system, agricultural system and industrial system naturally promoted the formation of the Luo family's commercial system.

At present, in the Luo family, according to the law of the Luo family, all the checkpoints in the Luo family's territory have been completely canceled, as long as they are doing business in the Luo family's territory, they can pass freely, and they will not be charged checkpoint fees, tolls and other taxes. For business, the Luo family only collects 20% of the tax obtained from each transaction, and it adopts the commercial tax law of two public and eight people. In order to encourage the people of the territory to take the initiative to do business, Zhengliang also temporarily issued a preferential policy, that is, transactions that earn less than the consistent money every month will not be charged taxes and fees, so as to encourage small transactions between the subjects and promote the circulation of materials and coins in the territory, so as to improve the lives of the people and accelerate the development of the territory.

At this time, with the deliberate layout and support of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, Hizen Kuni's Kishigatakeyama Castle (the Notakayama area also belongs to the Kishidake Mountain Castle), Hizen Kungakufufu Castle (formerly Ryuzoji Castle, now Ro's Home Castle), and Bungo Kuni-Gibu Castle (formerly the Otomo Family's Inner Building) became the main centers of the Ro's family's workshops, and because of this. It has become the distribution center of the Roche family's goods. A large number of merchants from the Roche family gathered here to extract goods made in the workshop. They are then shipped to their respective commercial houses in various places for sale. At the same time, a large number of commercial houses were concentrated in these three places, so gradually, these three places became the economic center of the Luo family. Every day, the streets of these three areas are crowded with pedestrians, and even more so than in the Kyoto area.

In addition, due to the large-scale construction of marching avenues in various places in the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet, the roads in all directions of the Luo family were unblocked. It also promoted the exchange between the Luo family and the development of internal commerce. In particular, with Kishidake Mountain Castle, Gakufu Castle, and Gibu Castle as the center, commerce and trade began to spread in all directions, forming a central economic line within the Luo family from east to west in the north-central region of Kyushu.

With the advent of this economic line, with the support of the Roche Cabinet's Cabinet and the Roche House, there were a large number of gourmet houses, farmers' markets (which can trade agricultural products such as various grains, meat, fish, and fruits), cloth houses, farm tool blacksmith houses, farm tool carpenters' houses, salt houses (after obtaining sales qualifications from the Interior Cabinet, salt is extracted from each salt field for sale with certificates), miscellaneous goods houses (some miscellaneous goods are sold in various places during the Warring States Period, and even Southern Barbarian and Korean goods will appear), sake houses, tea houses, Porcelain houses and other merchant houses appeared one after another in various parts of the Luo family.

Of course, although the Luo family vigorously promotes the formation of an internal business system, the current business and trade financial income of the Luo family mainly relies on two aspects.

One aspect is the Roche family's mineral deposits, mainly gold, silver and copper. These deposits not only meet the internal needs of the Roche family. It was also the main resource for foreign trade, and it traded with various powers of the Warring States, Ming merchants, Nanban merchants, and even Korean smuggling merchants. The Luo family thus exchanged for various materials they needed. At the same time, due to the guarantee of sufficient raw materials, the coins minted by the Luo family themselves can circulate smoothly within and even outside the Luo family, so as to make the initial formation of the Luo family's financial system and avoid the danger of being influenced by external forces.

On the other hand, it is known as paper (only for external transactions, general white paper, yellow paper, fine paper is only used for the internal use of the Luo family's institutions, and there are special marks to identify the authenticity of the content in the paper), salt (especially snow salt is particularly popular), silk (the quality and delicacy are worse than those smuggled from the Ming Kingdom, but it does not prevent the love of these four silks in various parts of the Warring States Period), ceramics (the quality and delicacy are also not as good as the porcelain smuggled from the Ming Kingdom, but they are still popular), cane sugar, and Nanban items, Korean goods, Ming goods, books and other goods, from the outside exchange of a large amount of resources.

Although trading with external forces to obtain development resources is an important source of income for the various forces of the Warring States at present, in the long run, in fact, vigorously developing domestic demand and forming a commercial system with domestic demand as the main and external demand supplemented by foreign demand is the safest for a country, otherwise once foreign demand is resisted, then its own income will be greatly reduced, and its own development will also be restricted. But in any case, at this time, the business system of the Roche family, which was gradually taking shape, had developed on the good side.

The gradually formed stable social system, a good agricultural system, and a gradually formed industrial system and commercial system are not only part of the Luo family's hegemony, but also create a good territorial income for the Luo family.

In August of the second year of Hongji (1556), when the autumn harvest was approaching, after months of hard work, the first land inspection of the newly occupied Nagato Province, Zhou Defense Province, and Aki Province was finally completed.

Unlike the rest of the Luo family's land inspection work (with the simplification of Chinese characters, Arabic numerals, and some advanced calculation methods in later generations, it became easier for the Cabinet to calculate the various income figures of the territory, at least much simpler than in the past). Coupled with a hierarchical management system with clear responsibilities from top to bottom, so that the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet can accurately and timely know the overall income of each year or even each quarter in various places, etc.), because it is the first time to inspect the basic area, although many areas have the help of the account books of the previous Ouchi family in power (in fact, the situation of these account books is often far from reality, which is the disadvantage of feudal rule), the internal cabinet still spent a lot of manpower and material resources, after nearly half a year of efforts, It was only then that the preliminary land inspection situation was finally obtained.

As for Nagato Province, among the six prefectures of Atsusa, Toyoura, Miyu, Otsu, Abu, and Mijima, half of Abu Prefecture is under the control of the Yoshimi family, so the total income of Nagato Province (including all income from agriculture, commerce, and mineral deposits in the territory) is 120,000 koku for the time being. On the side of Zhou Fangguo, the six counties of Oshima, Jiuke, Kumamao, Tono, Saba, and Yoshiki were all included in the territory of the Luo family's power, and the total income from the preliminary land inspection was 160,000. In terms of Aki Country, among the eight counties of Numata, Kamo, Anyun, Saeki, Yama Prefecture, Takamiya, Takata, and Sha Tin, the Luo family only controls the six counties of Numata, Kamo, Anyun, Saeki, Takamiya, and Sha Tin, while Yama County and Takada are still under the control of the Maori family, and the Maori family also controls the only two silver mountains in An Ike, so the total income of An Yiguo is 150,000 yuan in this land inspection.

Originally, the total income of these places was not only so small, but due to the Tao Qingxian rebellion in these areas over the years, the Maori family's strategy against An Yiguo, and the just-concluded Itsukushima War, etc., coupled with the abnormal climate in recent years, their total income has naturally decreased a lot. In addition, the above-mentioned land seizure does not take into account the land situation and income of local temples and shrines.

Of course, in addition to the income situation in the above areas, there have been many changes in other areas of the Luo family in recent years.

As the place where the Luo family started, Hizen Province, after more than ten years of continuous operation of the Luo family, the overall income of its territory has changed the most. In 1540, when the Luo family made the first comprehensive land inspection of the area, the overall income of Hizen Province was 310,000 koku, and by 1549, the overall income of Hizen Province had risen to 450,000 koku, and this year, it has reached 550,000 koku. Chikugo Province, which was incorporated into the Luo family halfway through the Hizen family a little later than Hizen Province, had a total income of 270,000 koku in 1542, when the Rashi family made its first comprehensive land inspection of the area, and by 1549, the overall income of Chikugo Province had risen to 330,000 koku, and by this year, it had reached 410,000 koku. In the same way, the Higo Kingdom, which is similar to the previous two countries, has also increased from 340,000 koku in 1544 and 370,000 koku in 1549 to 480,000 koku this year.

The Chikuzen Province, Bunzen Province, Bungo Province, and Iki Island, which were incorporated into the Luo family a little later than Hizen Province, Chikugo Province, and Higo Province, also developed a lot.

Chikuzen Province went from 340,000 koku in 1549 to 420,000 koku in 1556. Bungo Province increased from 370,000 koku in the first land seizure in 1549 to 450,000 koku at this time. Bunzen Province has increased from 140,000 koku at the beginning to 210,000 koku this year. Iki Island has also increased from 15,000 koku to 40,000 koku now.

In terms of the newly occupied areas, Tsushima Island this year has an income of 20,000 koku, a land area occupied by Bigo Province with an income of 3,000 koku, and a land area occupied by the Luo family in Yiyu Province with an income of 7,000 koku. The Hyuga country Luo clan secretly occupies the area, and the income is 5,000 koku.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Ito family that the Mitai family in Zhongshan City in the area had secretly taken refuge in the Luo family, and the Luo family had secretly changed the pillars of the place, and the local people, including the Mitai family, had secretly moved to other areas of the Luo family, and some of the families of the internal and military cabinet retainers had moved into these areas, thus forming a stable rule over the local area. In order to confuse the Ito family and the nearby wealthy families, the Luo family did not implement any Luo family's laws and techniques locally, but retained the original appearance. As for the local Luo family's relocated lords, in addition to receiving regular rewards from the Luo family, their family members who still settled in other areas of the Luo family also received great rewards. (To be continued......)
