After the assessment was held, Togo Heiji first reported:

"My lord, the situation of all the territories of my family has been sorted out."

"Oh? Say it. Masato said. After more than half a month of hard work by all the retainers, the general situation of the Luo family in the pre-fat, post-construction, and post-Feihou was finally sorted out.

After getting Masayo's permission, Togo Heiji immediately took out the account book in his arms and began to report:

"Your Excellency. After detailed measurements of the family's territories in Hizen, Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Higo, the income of Hizen this year will be about 220,000 koku, Chikuzen's income will be about 3,000 koku, Chikugo's income will be about 200,000 koku, and Higo's income will be about 4,000 koku. If farmland reclamation and trade promotion are accelerated, income is expected to increase. ”

As soon as Dongxiang Heiji said this, all the retainers in the council hall immediately began to discuss enthusiastically. Although generally speaking, when the home is assessed, the atmosphere of the assessment should be relatively solemn. But Zhengliang prefers heated discussions and even quarrels, and with Zhengliang's acquiescence, over time, the evaluation meeting of the Luo family has evolved into the current atmosphere.

Of course, the results of this land inspection also surprised Zhengliang very much. Adding up all the land inspection results, the Luo family is at least a daimy-level family with more than forty-two stones.

If you think about it carefully, the stone height of Hizen Province is about 310,000 koku, before the tsukumi is about 340,000 koku, after the tsukugo is about 270,000 koku, and after Higo is about 340,000 koku. Comparing the position occupied by the Luo family in these four countries, it is indeed about the same.

Four hundred and twenty thousand stones. If the wind and rain can be smooth this year, it will be calculated according to the current average agricultural tax of six gongs and four people in the Luo family's territory. This year, the Luo family also has an income of at least 250,000 yuan. This time, Masahiro's mood was a little tangled. He hoped that the drastic weather of the Xiaoice River would come soon. I hope it doesn't come so quickly.

After a little excitement, Masara quickly regained his composure, and when he saw that the retainers were still discussing excitedly, Masara coughed lightly a few times, signaled the retainers to be quiet, and asked Togo Heiji to continue.

After receiving Masayo's signal, Togo Heiji continued to report:

"In terms of population, it's about 210,000. The population is expected to increase due to the fact that more detailed population registration statistics are still being carried out in the newly occupied areas, and the number of people who have been displaced from outside the territory and the population purchased by the family will be added. ”

With a population base of 210,000 stones, if you follow the military extraction rate of 20,000 to 1, you can also get an army of 10,000 people. Thinking of this, Masahiro already had plans to expand the army. Of course, the expansion of the army does not only depend on the population base of the territory, so Masara is ready to continue to listen to Togo Heiji's report on the situation of the territory before making plans.

"In terms of grain, due to the large amount of enemy grain captured during this period of campaign, it is currently in the territory warehouse. There are also 130,000 civil agricultural reserves and 70,000 military rations. Since the family is still buying large quantities of grain, it is expected that the grain reserves will increase before the autumn harvest. ”

"Coin aspect. At present, there are more than 12,000 taels of gold in the warehouse; More than 25,000 taels of silver and more than 80,000 copper coins. Due to the family's vigorous promotion of free trade within the territory and the acceleration of trade outside the territory, as well as the discovery of two silver mines, it is expected that the coin reserves will increase. ”

"In terms of ore, there are more than 130,000 catties of copper, more than 60,000 catties of iron, more than 3,000 catties of saltpeter, and more than 2,000 catties of sulfur in the territory warehouse. Since the family will continue to trade with the Nanban, Ming and local merchants, plus the income from the newly mined copper and sulfur mines, it is expected that the reserves will increase. ”

"Armament situation. In addition to the weapons being used by the generals and soldiers of various teams, there are 1,500 swords, 2,000 guns and three guns, 700 sets of mustaches, 800 bows, more than 50,000 arrows, 35 barrels of oil, 30 Ming Dynasty fireworks, 80 Nanban arquebuses, 1 small Buddha cannon, 25 boxes of ammunition, 20 pairs of belly roll armor, 30 pairs of carcass armor, and 200 rattan plates. ”

"In terms of warships, this time we got a total of 53 Xiaozao, 10 Dutch ships, 6 merchant ships, and 18 customs ships from the various wealthy families of Chikugo and the Higo Koyo family."

"At the end of the day, the newly captured more than 200 war horses have also been transported to the pasture near Notaka Mountain in Matsuura County, Hizen, and there are currently a total of 260 war horses and more than 100 wild horses in the pasture that can be called upon at any time. In terms of cattle, there are currently more than 800 cattle in the territory. ”

After Togo Heiji finished reporting, he handed the account book to the little surname Nabeshima Naoshige who came to him. The latter quickly came to Masahiro and respectfully presented the account book to Masahiro.

Zhengliang flipped through it casually, only to see that there was a more detailed account book of the material situation.

"Hmm!" After looking at it for a while, Zhengliang nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, the Luo family finally has a little family background.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next policy of some territories will be announced."

As soon as they heard that the family was going to announce the Luo family's next strategy, all the retainers immediately fell silent.

"I intend to increase the number of six Ashigaru standing teams from the original 300 people to 500 people each. There are 300 spears and 200 bows and arrows in each team, respectively. The total number of the six teams increased from 1,800 to 3,000.

"The number of the first and second standing naval corps has been increased from 200 to 300, and the number of ships has remained at 80 and 26 ships; The number of the 3rd Standing Navy was increased from 100 to 300, and the Kozao and Sekifune obtained from Chikugo and Higo were all used as the warships of the 3rd Fleet. "In this way, the Third Standing Naval Corps has sixty-five Xiaozao and twenty-one ships. The total number of Luo's navy is also 900 people.

"The first standing cavalry was also increased from 200 cavalry to 300 cavalry; The samurai squad was also increased from 300 to 400. The number of detectives increased from 100 to 200; The number of heralds increased from 50 to 100; The Black Hawk Ninja team has increased from 20 to 100 people; The Iron Artillery Brigade was increased from 120 to 200. ”

In fact, in Masaliang's view, the Black Hawk Ninja Team of 100 people is still insufficient, but ninjas don't want to have them, after all, the ninjas directly under the Luo family, Black Hawk, are also developed on the basis of the original ninja orphans in the mountain dive. Now that it has increased to a hundred people, it has almost emptied the family of the Black Hawk ninjas.

The above is the scale of Masahiro's plan to expand the army this time. Except for the Cloak Crowd, which still maintained the size of 100 people, all the rest of the teams were expanded. The Luo family's military strength suddenly expanded from the original standing army of 3,190 to 5,300 people, an increase of more than 2,000 people. Coupled with the peasant soldiers who could be temporarily recruited to participate in the war during the war, the Luo family could organize an army of one to twenty thousand people at any time.

All the retainers, including Togo Heiji, had no objection to the expansion of the family head this time, on the contrary, in their opinion, it was not too much to form an army of tens of thousands with the current war potential of their own family. They were now more concerned with the issue of the shovel and armaments.

"My lord, I don't know how Lu Dao should recruit troops next?" This time it was a question raised by the military advisor Kakuma Ishimu.

"In a few days, there should be a lot of people in the mountains and mountains behind the construction of the mountain to come to their own family, this time the recruitment, the soldiers are mainly these people, and secondly, they can be recruited in various parts of the territory and then supplemented." Masara said immediately.

"At the same time, as with Notakama and Kishigaku Castle, two more recruiting offices and craftsmen's houses will be set up at Nakamura Castle in Hizen and Yanagawa Castle in Chikugo to ensure long-term recruitment of soldiers and talents."

"Armaments such as swords, spears, feet, bows and arrows, and horses are to be disposed of and distributed by the Military Cabinet in consultation with the Cabinet of the Interior, and must be in place when new soldiers enter the ranks. All the Harumaki armor and carcass armor will also be given out as rewards. Rattan plaques are distributed to the water army. In this military expansion, the adequacy of the family should be insufficient, and the Cabinet of the Interior must step up the procurement of sufficient resources. "Zhengliang now has a large amount of copper coins in his hands, and he is not worried about the problem of money, but about the shortage of goods.

It seems that he has made up his mind to form his own armor manufacturing workshop, and at present, his armor workshop can only repair damaged armor, but cannot complete the manufacture of armor alone. I hope that this time will be effective for the craftsmen in the Kyoto area? In this way, the problem of armor manufacturing can be solved.

"In terms of coins, gold and silver were left behind for trading with the merchants of the Nanban and Ming Kingdoms, focusing on their muskets, gunpowder, oil, saltpeter, and iron ore. Copper coins are convenient, and all of them are used to purchase local food, population, and daily necessities. Masato commanded again.

"In terms of grain, 80,000 stone will be taken out of the civil agricultural reserve as remuneration for the forced labor of the territory."

"My lord, this?" As soon as he heard that Masayo had taken out most of the grain reserves, Togo Heiji's face couldn't help but change, and even the rest of the internal affairs officials also changed slightly. They had long heard that the lord of the kingdom had a habit of "spending a lot of money", and now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.

Of course, Zhengliang didn't know what the retainers of the Daoist Dao thought, in his opinion, money and food are dead, rather than putting it in the warehouse to get moldy, it is better to use it as soon as possible to make money and grain to make grain? Seeing that the extreme weather will become more and more serious, Masahiro certainly hopes to go all out to carry out the farming movement in the territory. After all, only by planting the fields can we ensure that the Luo family has long-term war potential.

So farming is a must.
