"This large-scale expansion of the army requires the formation of a recruit training camp, and the location is still the recruit training camp in Notakayama. With the addition of this group of soldiers, the monthly military food consumption of each team will inevitably increase greatly. Masahiro decided to list the reasons one by one.

According to the law of the Luo family, the daily consumption of the army and the rewards for military merit are directly extracted from the civil agricultural reserves, while the armament food is only used for military rations during war. With the scale of the Luo family's standing team after the expansion of the army, the monthly consumption of food must be a lot. Even in the second half of the year, additional food will be needed to ensure these standing routines.

After enumerating the standing daily consumption, Masarashi began to list the other consumptions.

"According to the report, the relocation of the wealthy families in the newly occupied area of Higo has been completed, and the relocation of the wealthy families in the Chigo-building area is still in progress, which also requires a lot of food." According to the law of the Luo family, every time a new territory is occupied, almost all the local wealthy families have to be relocated to other places.

For the recalcitrant Hao clan at the beginning, the clan was directly exterminated, leaving only the female dependents, and the female dependents would also be scattered and distributed to settle in other places. To deal with the Hao clan who voluntarily surrendered and cooperated, although it will not be exterminated, it will also be resealed. Of course, the relocation here is generally only for the relatives of the wealthy family, and it has no impact on the general people, so the scale will not be too large.

The relocated Hao clan will re-establish itself in the new place, and their original territory will be divided among the retainers and soldiers of the Luo family. In this way, to a certain extent, the betrayal of some wealthy families who are still careful in their hearts is avoided, and their old territory will quickly fall into the control of the Luo family, which is conducive to the rapid promotion of the Luo family's law.

Wait until those wealthy families with careful thinking grow up again. And they will find out. Otherwise, they have gradually assimilated into a wealthy family that completely surrendered to the Luo family. Or they are surrounded by the supporters of the Luo family, and even the people in their territory are die-hard supporters of the Luo family. Eventually, they lose the ability to make trouble in the shadows.

Of course, if you want the newly occupied territories to settle down quickly, it is not enough to rely on such a wealthy relocation policy, so there is a policy of consuming more food under Zhengliang.

"The castle restriction decree continued to be implemented in the territory, and in Hizen, Satojo, Hamada Castle, Imari Castle, and Kishigaku Castle in Matsuura County; Iimori Castle, Hirota Castle, and Matsugaku Castle in Biki-gun; Matsuoka Castle and Kashima Castle in Fujitsu County; Katsuo Castle, Asahiyama Castle, Kaizu Castle, Mise Castle, and Village Castle are among the four prefectures of Kizu, Adoptive Father, Sanne, and Saka. In addition to these fortifications. The rest of the castle will be demolished. The castles of Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Hizen are temporarily retained. "With this order, the castle that had no garrison in front of the fat was basically demolished.

In addition, the law of the Luo clan emphasized that no one should build castles in the territory without the permission of the lord, and there were basically no castles with castle walls in Hizen, and all that remained were open castles and towns. The main purpose of Masarashi was to remove the barriers between Hizen regions and to prevent the rebellion of the retainers and wealthy clans from defending the city.

"Speed up the construction of all avenues in the territory, widen and pave the original avenues in various places, especially the roads connecting Hizen to Chikugo, Higo and Chikuzen's border towns are given priority widening and paving. In order to speed up the progress. Cement, the basic material used for the manufacture of paved roads, will have its manufacturing workshops in Nakamura Castle and Yanagawa Castle. ”

The cement here refers to the inferior cement produced in the Roche cement workshop. The quality of this cement is placed in posterity. As a maker, you will definitely be fined and dragged into a black room. But for the current Roche family, it is still a pretty good building material.

Compared to traditional mud and stone roads, roads paved with low-quality cement mixed with sand and gravel will have much lower maintenance costs. Most importantly, when it rains, the mud of traditional dirt roads is much less. This facilitates the march of the army and the daily companionship of the population.

"Increase water conservancy construction. Vigorously issue water conservancy construction and repair levies, ensure that all water conservancy facilities along rivers and streams in the territory are improved and utilized, and more importantly, ensure that every field can be irrigated. ”

"The reclamation of farmland cannot be relaxed, and there are still many places that can be reclaimed in the previously occupied areas of Hizen, and the newly occupied areas should not only restore local farmland production as soon as possible, but also vigorously promote the reclamation of new farmland. In this regard, it can be carried out simultaneously with the resettlement of new migrants and newly purchased populations. ”

"The family's sacred gourd (that is, sweet potato, generally called divine gourd or Zhengliang gourd by the people) and new crops such as corn should also be vigorously promoted in the newly occupied areas, and farmers can be guided to plant in this way with appropriate rewards."

"I want to increase the investment in each workshop, and I plan to double the investment in the workshop this year, so that the number and scale of the workshop will be expanded."

"The last is the recruitment and resettlement of the newly purchased population, the outcast of the territory, and the resettlement of immigrants from the Ming Kingdom. Especially the resettlement of Ming immigrants, and now in the Ming immigration settlement near Yegao Mountain, there are already thousands of Ming people. Next, one or two settlement settlements of Ming immigrants will be established in the counties of Hizen, and it is important to remember that these immigrants will henceforth be the subjects of their own family, and they must be treated equally, or even preferentially. After saying these plans, Zhengliang deliberately paused, leaving some time for the retainers to think deeply and react, and only then said:

"So. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think the current budget of 80,000 yuan is too much? ”

After hearing the words of the head of the family, all the retainers, including Togo Heiji, subconsciously shook their heads. What are you kidding, the head of the family's plan is too huge, and it is estimated that the 80,000 stone grain is enough for half a year's expenses. Now I am not worried about too much food, but about not having enough food.

Fortunately, in addition to these 80,000 grains, there are also 30,000 civil agricultural reserve grains and 70,000 armament grains in the territory warehouse, plus the grain that is constantly purchased in various ways, which is completely enough to support the autumn harvest.

After arranging some territorial affairs again, this time the family assessment meeting was finally over. After the assessment, Masato left Duanmu Qingzheng and Muzo Zhongzhong.

"Integrity. What is the current internal situation of the Ouchi family? Especially those wealthy families in Chikuzen. After the retainers left one after another, Masato looked at Duanmu Qingzheng below Lu and asked. (To be continued......)
