"Your Highness, there are frequent wars in the family, and the peasants and soldiers have already complained, and the family's current standing ashigaru has gradually become a burden on the territory, please slow down the speed of territorial expansion," Togo Heiji felt more and more that Masayo's appetite for expanding the territory was extremely large, and it had even affected the stability of the territory, so he had to persuade him head-on.

In fact, Zhengliang also knows the actual situation in the territory of Ludao. According to the calculation of the income of the surrounding Haoqiang per 100 stone territory to support 5 standing samurai, the current standing strength of the Luo family has exceeded the output of the territory, and it is important to know that the overlord of the entire East Songpu in the entire East Songpu of the Upper Songpu clan has only more than 500 samurai with a branch of 50,000 stones. If it weren't for the seizure of a large amount of grain and weapons from the two big "rich men" of the Yegaoshan bandits and the Tahara family, the Luo family would definitely not be able to support such a military force. But there will always be a day when the stored food will run out, and it is very dangerous when the territory cannot make ends meet. Thinking of this, Masato opened his mouth and said, "Well, now let's discuss the next construction of the territory. I don't know what you think? ”

"At present, the territory has expanded several times, and although Notaka Mountain is located in the center of the territory, the road from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain is not very good, do you consider moving the lord's mansion to the bottom of the mountain?" , said Heiji Togo. During this time, he arranged for personnel to carry the seized materials to the warehouse of the Nogaoshan Lord's mansion, and the physical body encountered the inconvenience of the road.

"No, the problem of the road is easy to solve, as long as the two avenues are opened from the lord's mansion to Yamashita Notaka Village and Tashiro Castle. The road from the lord's mansion to Tashiro Castle was handled by 50 slaves, and 25 ashigaru from Hirajo Castle were sent back to the lord's mansion to guard and monitor the slaves. The road from the lord's mansion to Notaka Village is to organize the participation of the people of Yesaka Village, where there are more displaced people who have just joined, and now that the spring ploughing is basically over, it is just right to organize these people to work for relief", Masaliang thought about it, and finally decided. The valley of the lord's mansion is not a mountain at all, at best it is just a higher hill, as long as you organize people to open up a straight road, according to the current level of manpower, that is, about a month of open time. What's more, Zhengliang has just received the information that the cement has been successfully developed, although the quality is equivalent to the inferior cement of later generations, but compared with the current mud has been much better, just in the process of road construction to test the actual effect.

"Your Highness, the 500 stone reserve for farmland reclamation prepared last time has already consumed 50 stone after the vigorous reclamation in the past few days, do you want to continue to expand the speed of farmland reclamation?" , continued Heiji Togo.

"It depends on the situation, there will soon be turmoil in the surrounding powerful territories, and the number of displaced people joining the territory will increase, and most of the lords have not yet reached the upper limit of 5 anti fields per household, and there is more wasteland in the territory, so it is better to continue to expand the scope of farmland reclamation, even if the harvest of the cultivated farmland is limited now, the income of the territory will increase a lot next year", Onishi Kuniji immediately said.

"Well, Kokuji is right. It is really necessary to increase the scope of the conscription, and add another 500 koku to the original 500 koku reserve," Masayo decided. The 1,000 stone reserve of reclamation fields and forced labor can be said to be a big deal, and there are two main purposes for Zhengliang to do this, one is that most of the territory has just been subdued, and there must be a lot of unstable factors, which just keeps most people busy, so those who are careful will not have a chance; Secondly, participation in conscription is paid, and it is in this way that the people are favored, strengthening their sense of identity with the lord and reducing the dissatisfaction caused by the problem of food and clothing.

"Yes, Your Highness", Togo Heiji immediately recorded Masayo's order. …,

"Oh, by the way, there are more rivers in the territory", in his impression, only the river is more than 5 meters wide, and Masahiro has seen no less than ten.

"Yes, Your Highness, Higashimatsunura is located on the coast, and there is a lot of rain, so there are more small rivers, and most of the farmland is concentrated near these small rivers", replied Kuniji Onishi.

"Okay, according to such specifications, you require that such a small canal must be dug in each field, and the two adjacent canals must be interconnected", after hearing Onishi Kuniji's reply, Masara immediately instructed the little surname Shingoro to bring a pen and paper, and randomly drew a pattern of a canal half a meter deep and half a meter wide, and then asked everyone to enforce it in the territory, "In addition, organize personnel to dig deep into the riverbed and increase the height and widening of the embankment. These are also organized in the form of conscription, and 500 stone of grain is initially prepared as a reserve for conscription. ”

"Huh? Your Highness, if you raise and widen the embankment, you will not be able to irrigate the farmland", Togo Heiji immediately said. At the current level of agriculture, it is simply impossible to control the water level with small sluices. Once the embankment is raised, the fields below the embankment will not be able to get water for irrigation, and will have to rely on manual water for irrigation.

"Well, this is indeed a problem", Masara was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered this question, "In this way, I will give you some wooden drawings for taking water, and Pingji, you give him to Youbei, and let him organize people to make it as soon as possible, so that the problem of taking water can be solved." After the tool is built, the pattern will be burned immediately", Masayo is going to draw the pattern of the ancient simple waterwheel, the complex waterwheel structure, Masashi must not be able to remember, but the simple waterwheel Masashi can still barely recall. With these waterwheels, even the field area of the territory can be increased. Hearing Masahiro's orders, Togo Heiji bowed down to receive the order.

Why does Zhengliang attach so much importance to the construction of water conservancy? The first is to be able to increase the output of fields, especially paddy fields; Secondly, after hearing Onishi Kuniji's explanation, Masara suddenly thought that there would be typhoons here, and they were relatively frequent, and it was about to enter the typhoon season, so it was better to prepare early in order to avoid the loss of land income.

The opening of the road, the reclamation of the fields and the construction of water conservancy, it is estimated that all the people in the territory are involved, and it will take at least about two months of busy work, it can be said that the construction of the territory has been full, and the political conscience silently calculated, and said after the most reluctance, "Heiji, the construction of the territory is under your overall supervision, and you are required to ask Tadajiro of Notaka Village, Kosuke of Tashiro, Tsuda Hiromune of Chemu, Hiradaira Taro of Fujihira, and Hitara Ichino to step up the organization, Take advantage of the time when the surrounding Haoqiang has not yet reacted to step up the digestion of the newly occupied territory. ”

"Yes, Your Highness", Togo Heiji bowed down to receive the order.
