On the morning of November 21, the ninth year of astronomy. The residence of the lord of Notakayama on the Higashimatsunura Peninsula in Hizen-Higashimatsunura-gun.

It's been more than a month since the last time the head of the family went to Mingguo. Now that the head of the family has finally returned, a comprehensive assessment is about to be conducted, and the retainers have rushed back. Even Tadajiro and the others, who were the farthest away, rushed back to their homes outside the Notakayama Lord's Mansion overnight with torches, waiting for the assessment to be held early tomorrow morning.

Early in the morning, these retainers all came to the meeting hall of the lord's mansion outside the maru in groups of three or five, and while greeting enthusiastically, they warmly discussed the return of the head of the family.

There are only two topics for them, one is to feel sincerely happy for the head of the family to come back, after all, the head of the house is not there, and everyone feels quite unsteady; Second, the head of the family completed his visit to the Ming Kingdom. The Ming Kingdom is a mysterious country for them, and some of them don't even know the way to a country like the Ming Kingdom. And now, not only has their master returned, but it is said that he has also brought back a ship as huge as a hill, which is a marvelous feat to be celebrated. Now among the people of the territory, it is even more rumored that the lord has made a miracle, not only caught a few "ghost people", but also obtained the news of a divine ship. For a time, the territory was filled with words of praise for the lord. The lords also admired their lords more and more.

It can be said that this time Zhengliang traveled perfectly. It not only improved the centripetal force and cohesion of the retainers, but also greatly improved the prestige of Zhengliang himself among the people.

"Is there such a thing?" At this time, in the lounge next to the council hall. Yinuo, who is in charge of closely monitoring the situation in the territory, is reporting to Zhengliang.

"I didn't expect to come back this time, but there was such a misunderstanding!" Masara muttered to himself. It turned out that he had only returned yesterday, and by this morning, the miracles of the head of the family had already been reported throughout the territory. Caught a few ghost people, and also got the news of a god ship.

"Let people secretly publicize that those few are not ghosts, but the distinguished guests of the head of the family, and they are the distinguished guests sent by the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman to assist the lord," Masara thought for a while, and then ordered Ichino. After all, these Southern Barbarians are indeed the distinguished guests of the Luo family, once they let them know their image in the hearts of these people from the people, I really don't know what will happen to the Dao.

Yinuo bowed down to receive the order. After the guidance of Zhengliang. Yinuo has fully understood the importance of its own work. For example, now, he is assisting the lord to secretly manipulate the ideological and public opinion of the territory. Well, according to the meaning of the head of the family, this word is called ideological public opinion......

"The head of the house has arrived!" With a loud shout from the little surname Yoshinomaru at the door. Masarashi walked through the door of the council hall.

Today, Masarashi put on a brand new kimono that Kikuhime sewed especially for him. Holding the word Yoshioka in his hand, which had been maintained by the craftsman of the territory, he walked to the position of the head of the council hall under the guidance of two people close to him. These two close people are the disciples of the Luo clan dojo opened by Masato in Yegao Village. Now all the disciples in this dojo have become Masayo's close attendants.

After standing at the head of the family, Masashi casually handed the knife to a close attendant. The latter slowly enshrined the knife on a knife holder.

Masato slowly turned around, then slowly knelt down and sat down.

"Meet the head of the house," the retainers immediately bowed to the ground. Salute in unison to Zhengliang.

"No courtesy," Masarashi said with a wave of his right hand. Then he glanced majestically at the retainers.

This time, the entire retainers of the Luo family arrived.

The first position on the right belongs to the old minister and a member of the East Township Pingji, who is now mainly responsible for the daily civil and agricultural work of the entire territory, and is also the head of the family, and the management of taxes is his most important responsibility. Now he is the chief general of the family. …,

The second place on the right is also a blessing for the public. As a household material, he manages all the materials that enter the warehouse at home. Except for the head of the family, no one should think of asking him privately for even a grain of rice. Known as the "iron rooster" of the Roche family.

The third on the right is Liu Le, a newly recruited Ming State staff member of Zhengliang. He only followed Masato back to the territory yesterday. Soon after Masara rushed back to the lord's mansion. He also took his daughter-in-law, who had not passed through the door, to the accommodation that Masara had arranged for them in the village outside the lord's mansion. Today, I attended the Roche Family Assessment Conference for the first time. After learning his ranking, he panicked for a while. It was only after the last that I sat there head-on. Although I am still a little apprehensive at the moment, I still seem to be calm on the surface. appeared for the first time in front of the retainers of the Luo family, and since the head of the family had given him such an eye-catching position, he had to behave calmly. At the same time, I was also moved by the death of my confidant as a political conscience.

The fourth on the right is the public party in the family who pursues the wooden heavy loyalty. Responsible for all the foreign diplomatic work of the Luo family.

The fifth and sixth on the right are the two brothers, the leader of the territory Monomi Ichino and the leader of the ninja army Black Hawk. Yinuo is responsible for the day-to-day surveillance within the territory and the intelligence collection of external powers. The ninja army is a special unit that is responsible for the special tasks issued by Masayo.

The seventh place on the right and then are Sasuke Roche, Masahide Roshi, and Shingoro Roche, who were born with small surnames. These three people are currently the first, second, third, and fourth standing ashigaru troops of the territory. Responsible for the statistical rewards and punishments of military merits and the daily ideological education of the team.

Look to the left again.

Sitting first on the left is Onishi Kuniji, who serves as the general of the family. Commanding the second standing ashigaru team, guarding against the Huzi family in the east direction of the territory.

Sitting in second place was the general Tsuda Hiromune. Commanding the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Team to guard against the Sashiya family in the southern direction of the territory. Today, this guy changed his usual laughing expression and looked serious. Seeing Masayo's gaze, he immediately straightened his chest, looking like I was seriously participating in the assessment.

Sitting in third place is Heisa Masamune. As the general of the family, he is responsible for leading the fourth team to guard the coastal zone northwest of the territory. The main opponents are the unsettled pirates entrenched along the coast.

Sitting in fourth place is Tadajiro. As the general of the ashigaru,Temporarily serve as the deputy commander of the first standing ashigaru team.,Responsible for guarding the southwest zone of the territory.。 On the other side of the mountain range there is the Boss of Matsuura County, the Bodo. When he saw Tadajiro, Masarashi sighed secretly. It seems that it is necessary to arrange a person who can replace Tadajiro as soon as possible, after all, Tadajiro has repeatedly expressed his desire to concentrate on striking iron, become a craftsman, and revive the great cause of his ancestors.

Sitting in fifth place is the general of the navy, Sun Goro. He is mainly responsible for commanding the Luo family's naval army, ensuring the safety of the Luo family's waters in the area between Mukai Island and Kabe Island, and fighting some pirates lurking there. The focus is on cooperating with Heisa Masata to fight the pirates on the Hibibi Peninsula.

Sitting in sixth place is the new retainer of the family, the general of the family's iron artillery, Andre. Due to his overly burly figure and not used to kneeling, this guy is sitting in a somewhat speechless position right now. And this guy also has a headache, he can't understand Japanese, so there are certain difficulties in daily communication. Fortunately, this guy can speak Chinese, so Masara arranged a translator for him. This translator is a student from Roche University who speaks both Japanese and Mandarin. After more than half a year of careful management, the first batch of students to participate in the study of the university can barely participate in the work of the territory. According to Masarashi's order, these people immediately joined the children's study classes organized by each town, and were responsible for teaching the new children as teachers. Moreover, after the vigorous promotion of the combination of political and good territorial laws, the atmosphere of sending school-age children to study in schools has become a habit among the lords, and there has been no conflict with any incidents. …,

The seventh is that the naval army is also responsible for the military merit rewards and punishments and ideological education of the naval army. But according to Zhengliang's knowledge, the things he does on a daily basis, such as personally leading patrols, etc., are more like the things of a naval general. However, Masahiro originally only planned to use this position to hone his temperament, and as for his future positioning, he must be responsible for commanding the naval army.

After the eighth place, they are Masanao Kinoshita, Shigemasa Yoshida, Hidemasa Akimine, and Akuta. All four of them are all close servants of Masayo for the time being, but after following Masato for a while, they will be assigned to suitable positions. For example, Masanao Kinoshita will definitely be able to lead an army alone in the future. Shigemasa Yoshida worked as an archer teacher, occasionally showing his hand in the Roche Dojo to teach those who were good at the Masarashi, and at the same time regularly organized archers in various standing ashigaru teams and even samurai teams to practice archery and arrow formations. Mingfeng Xiuzheng will soon follow Master Xuanru to study medicine as a physician in the army in the future. Ah Guta was a hawksmith, and during the war, he took his two Haidongqing to follow Zhengliang behind, responsible for aerial surveillance, and was responsible for cultivating and domesticating more eagle dogs for Zhengliang in his spare time, expanding aerial surveillance and even communication power.

After glancing, Zhengliang straightened his body, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, during my trip to the Ming Kingdom, you have to stick to your duties and ensure the stability of the Luo family's territory during this time, in order to express my gratitude, I have sent someone to send gifts from the Ming Kingdom to your homes in the village outside the mansion." "This time, before Zhengliang came back from the Ming Kingdom and went alone to deal with Huahua Taishuai and others, he entrusted Wang Hai to purchase a lot of gifts. After Wang Hai arrived at Zhengliang's territory ahead of schedule, he had already sent all the materials related to the Luo family to the Luo family's mansion, and he had been fortunately stored in the warehouse. It is worth mentioning that these materials contain three hundred and fifty taels of silver left by Zhengliang in the cottage. Although Zhengliang said that the silver would be used as resettlement funds for Wang Hai to assist in the relocation of the Ming refugees to the Luo family's woodland in the future, the shrewd Wang Hai only left more than 100 taels, and the remaining 350 taels were brought back to the Luo family's territory. After returning last night, Masarashi had already instructed Kosuke to send those gifts to the homes of each retainer in batches today. (To be continued......)
