This time period is the period before the arrival of the Xiaoice period, but abnormal weather has also begun to appear. In the past two years, the Luo family's territory has suffered several heavy rains and snowstorms, followed by drought. In recent years, there have been several small earthquakes, and along with earthquakes, volcanic eruptions. At this time, the most famous volcanoes in the Luo family's territory were the Mount Aso volcano in Higo Province and the Kuryanju and Yubugake volcanoes in Bungo Province. The occurrence of these natural disasters has indeed had a lot of impact on the income of the Luo family's territory. Fortunately, these disasters do not occur in a sporadic manner, and they are not very frequent.

Although there are many natural disasters, the funny thing (which is much better than modern society) is that it did not cause the death of the people in the territory, but some of the unlucky people were injured. Just in order to restore production in those areas affected by the disaster, the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet has successively invested nearly 100,000 stone materials for this purpose.

In addition, every year, the internal affairs cabinet needs to pay more than 500,000 stone materials for the implementation of the Luo family's assistance law, labor service system, recruitment and resettlement of displaced people, relocation and resettlement of people, and military merit rewards; The consumption of retainers, military forces, branch offices, and daily work training under the Internal Affairs Cabinet, Military Cabinet, Intelligence Cabinet, Public Cabinet and other institutions also requires more than 300,000 stone of materials on average in a year.

All the above consumption adds up, in fact, the materials that the Luo family can reserve every year are only hundreds of thousands of stones. According to the previous consumption, the current Luo family's territory of three million stones (note, these three million stones. It is the sum of the output of all the Luo family's territories. Before the Roche family collected the tax. The people and the retainers who have obtained the feudal lords are required to receive a part of the income), and after collecting the taxes, the actual income that actually falls into the hands of the Luo family will be at least more than 1.5 million stones. And this is the income that the Roche family can use every year.

This is the price that the Roche family has to pay for the implementation of the first big investment at this stage, and then wait for a longer and larger income in the future. And with the passage of time, in the next few years, when Chikuzen Province, Fengsamae Province, Bungo Province and even Nagato Province, Zhou Defense Country, and Aki Country also become the same areas as Hizen Country, Higo Country, and Chikugo Country, then the internal affairs of the Luo family will be greatly improved.

Of course, the above situation is still the daily consumption of the Luo family when there is no large-scale war. Once the war began. Moreover, if the practice of war lasts for a long time, a lot of material reserves will be increased.

Taking the Battle of Itsukushima and the Western Kingdom Raiders as an example, after lasting 11 months and investing more than 80,000 people, as of August this year, the Luo family had consumed 130,000 stone of grain, damaged more than 2,000 spears, more than 1,000 knives, more than 50 iron cannons, more than 200 Roche armor, more than 100 pairs of Roche armor, more than 200 Roche bows, more than 300 bows, more than 30,000 arrows, more than 60 wounded horses, more than 3,000 iron cannon bullets, and thousands of catties of gunpowder.

The reason why food is consumed so much. This is mainly due to the local mountainous terrain of the western country. There are many mountains and forests in the western country, and the mountain roads are rugged. Often, you can already see the way ahead, but you stumble over the mountain road for a long time before you arrive. And the reason why this strategy can be so fast, it is because there are local surrendered wealthy clans and leaders to lead the way, can copy the path, in addition to the family has long been in the local ambush to investigate the news of the reconnaissance also played a great role in leading the way and persuading surrender, and in order to transport logistics materials, also use a large-scale naval army. In order to quickly transport supplies locally, a large number of wheelbarrows were also deployed from warehouses in Kyushu, and a large number of temporary farmers were recruited to transport them. But even so, when it is hindered by the local terrain and a large number of people are used, the consumption is naturally huge.

And this is only the previous consumption, in the next time, Zhengliang will need to spend a lot of materials in several places. For example, a large number of post-war pensions and military merit awards are also great consumption. But this is the era of war, so it is natural to increase investment in this aspect, after all, if you want the horse to run, you have to give enough good grass, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the Luo family's army will decline. For example, at present, there are still displaced people in the surrounding areas of the Luo family's power territory, and under the propaganda and lure of the Luo family's spies from all over the country, they are constantly pouring into the areas occupied by the Luo family in the western country, and it will naturally cost a lot of food and other materials to settle these displaced people.

For all kinds of weapons that are damaged, according to the law of the Luo family, they will naturally be sent back to the workshop in Kyushu for repair, and they really can't be used anymore, so they can only be disassembled and returned to the furnace. The wounded horses will be sent to the maintenance staff of the pastures in Kyushu to heal their injuries, and when these horses are healed, they will naturally return to the team with honor if they can continue to fight, and those who cannot continue to participate in the war will be sent back to the two pastures in Kyushu to take on the responsibility of "giving birth to children". As for the soldiers of the Luo family who did not have weapons because of the damage to the weapons in their hands, they naturally reapplied for new weapons in accordance with the rules and under the organization of this team. Judging from the current damage situation, the strategic material reserves in the Luo family's warehouse can still meet the needs of the soldiers to replenish their weapons.

Of course, there are gains and losses. In this raid, in addition to obtaining a large area of territory and mineral deposits from the original Ouchi family, the Luo family also seized a lot of materials. There are more than 60,000 stones of various miscellaneous grains alone, more than 20,000 weapons of various kinds (more than 30,000 weapons have been damaged, and these weapons will be dismantled and returned to the furnace, and then turned into new weapons according to the system of Luo's weapons), more than 400 war horses, more than 5,000 ploughing cattle, more than 70,000 gold, silver and copper coins after conversion, more than 500 warships of all kinds, and strategic materials such as ore, cloth, cotton, and even silk are also stacked in more than a dozen warehouses.

These are not the most important things, the population is the bigger gain. In this land inspection, there were more than 70,000 registered people in Nagato Province, including more than 20,000 young and strong people and more than 10,000 children; Zhou Fangguo registered more than 100,000 people, including more than 20,000 young and strong, and more than 20,000 children; In the area occupied by the Luo family in Anyiguo, there are more than 80,000 registered people, including more than 30,000 young and strong people and more than 10,000 children; Tsushima to more than 6,000 people; There were more than 2,000 registered people in the area occupied by the Luo family in Bigo Province; There are more than 5,000 registered people in the area occupied by the Luo family in Yiyu Kingdom.

From the above situation, it can be seen that the proportion of young people and children in the areas of Nagato Country, Zhou Defense Country, and Anyi Country is very small. So, why is this happening?

(Khan!) It seems that everyone is not very willing to vote, and the average number of votes a day in the past two weeks is only a dozen, and the week I just came back was nearly 200 votes a day! I'm asking for votes here. (To be continued......)
