Shen Fei stayed alone in the castle tower of Yamada City and laughed proudly, he couldn't help but laugh, not only did he get the territory of Yamada Castle lightly, but also got the occupation and approval of the golden finger.

Although the logistics department has not yet counted all the materials that have been captured in Yamada Castle before, if you look at the more than 100 boxes of silver, more than 200 boxes of gold, and dozens of carts of copper coins that were transported away, it should be estimated that there should be more than 100,000 yuan!

This is only the official inventory of Yamada Castle, not counting the inventory of those Yamada retainers, not to mention the inventory of castle towns and ports.

Shen Fei actually didn't care about these wealth, what he cared about was the nearly 10,000 people who had been taken back from captivity. Of course, two or three thousand of them were merchants, servants, sailors, and other people who had free status and could not be forcibly detained, but they were all taken captive back to Luanshan Township because of the war situation. Not only did they have to be released afterwards, but the property had to be returned, and they had to be compensated. Otherwise, businessmen would not dare to deal with the Fengyuan family in the future.

What made Shen Fei very happy was that Goldfinger determined that Shen Fei had become the owner of Yamada City, Castle Town, and Port, and gave him the income. I don't know how the golden finger is calculated, but Yamada Castle gave a special income of 10,000 koku and 10,000 koku of rice per year, Joshita Town gave an annual income of 30,000 koku, and the port gave an annual income of 10,000 koku and 40,000 koku of rice.

Counting the income given by Luanshan Township, that is to say, as long as the autumn harvest is over this year, the money and grain that Shen Fei actually controls is equal to the money and grain that a million-stone daimyo can master.

A big name in the head of Wanshi Township actually has the financial resources that only a million-stone daimyo can have, and such a huge strength can completely crush this Ju Shengguo!

Thinking that he didn't have to care about money and food in the future, Shen Fei was naturally excited, and directly ordered to recruit 3,000 strong men to become Black Lotus Ashigaru again, and then from that ticket to the two thousand Black Lotus Ashigaru who had undergone a winter training. Select a group of people who have achieved the rank of Five Stone Zhixing to become samurai, and send them to learn the power that matches their temperament.

Although Shen Fei wants to let two thousand ashigaru learn power, but the cheapest power of one hundred guan, two thousand people will need 200,000 yuan, this money is directly given to Fengyuan Shrine, there is no slightest handover, Shen Fei is not short of money, he can't be so rich, right?

And this kind of integration, it is also a suppression of everyone's promotion, as long as you join the Black Lotus Ashigaru, you can get power, what is the difference between this and the samurai? How else can you reflect the privileged status of the samurai? And like now, it is just to promote the personnel who have achieved meritorious service. But there is no problem at all, and if you become a samurai, the master family can pay for learning power, and it will become a samurai treatment that is unique to the Fengyuan family.

The samurai of the Toyogen family will not have the slightest opinion on this issue, because this is the treatment only available to samurai, and if Ashigaru also has this treatment, then the samurai will have an opinion.

Shen Fei's order was issued, and the already busy logistics and government affairs had to be even busier, of course, Shen Fei did not only increase his troops. There has also been a significant increase in the number of administrative staff. The Toyogen family, which swept away the town of Yamada Castle and the port, has made it easier to recruit administrative staff than before. Moreover, many of the low-level samurai of the Yamada family who were captured had already switched to the Toyogen family when the Toyogen family reoccupied Yamada Castle.

No wonder these low-level samurai are so loyal. There may be people who refuse to change, but the vast majority of low-level samurai only ask for a family name and land, and they don't care who they serve for, so to speak, who can give them these things. Whom they will be loyal to!

And now many forces around him, that is, the Fengyuan family, are newly rising and powerful. Especially the samurai who are very generous to the head of the family! Look at those who were just idle men and ronins in the castle town before, and followed Toyogen Village Taro to Luanshan Township as a wall-blocking character, but it turned out to be a long time, less than a year, and the guy who followed Toyogen Village Taro at the earliest, at least ten stones! The most awesome is more than 100 stones!

And what about these low-level samurai who followed the Yamada family? They were at the same level as Toyogen Murataro before, but many people didn't have Toyogen Murataro's Hyakishi Zhixing, and even many low-level samurai still only had ten kan and fu rice, but no Zhixing!

In this case, even if the Yamada family is still strong, there are low-level samurai who secretly pass on information under the generosity of the Fengyuan family, not to mention that the Fengyuan family actually ransacked Yamada Castle in turn, killing the head and son-in-law of the contemporary Yamada family and a large number of important ministers, deliberately leaving a few ambitious concubines and mediocre retainers, which directly left the Yamada family in a state of division.

That's right, Shen Fei's plan is almost clear at a glance, killing the elite and leaving the waste, the purpose is to split the Yamada family. It's just that this kind of thing can be seen by anyone, but no one can escape, you ask those concubines, are they willing to surrender to other brothers, hold each other to the stage as the head of the Yamada family, and are they willing to be a retainer to serve the Yamada family? They will only think, why is it not other people who praise themselves? Why do they want to praise others? No one is worse than others, right?

Before, everyone was still watching, and when they found out that the outer city lords of the Yamada family had rushed to the empty Yamada Castle, they scattered after a while, and the concubines did not elect a family master, and each led their followers away, and it was immediately clear that the Yamada family was divided. That's why they didn't hesitate to switch to the Fengyuan family.

Almost all of the low-level samurai of the Yamada family joined Shen Fei, not to mention the talents of Yamada Castle Town, because with Shen Fei's first batch of subordinates as an example, these idlers and ronins recruited from Yamada Castle Town have some reputation in Yamada Castle Town, so they don't need to sell anything, they just need to stand in the crowd of Castle Town, shouting that the Fengyuan family is recruiting subordinates, and immediately a large number of talents will rush over to recommend themselves.

And Shen Fei ordered his subordinates to recruit three thousand foot light things, which can also be completed very lightly, as soon as the flag was erected, a few shouts, and the strong men with big votes flocked to it, and even the idlers and ronins from other places rushed to sign up.

It's very simple, Shen Fei's Black Lotus Ashigaru has become famous after two major battles, and the treatment is so bad, and the samurai who are promoted in one hundred and one hundred units have made all the guys who pursue to get ahead rush over like moths to a fire, and they are afraid that they will lose this opportunity.

So after a period of busyness, with the increase in manpower, all the affairs are executed in an orderly manner. The first to finish was of course the 5,000 Black Lotus Army, and all the new samurai went to Fengyuan Shrine to learn power, and the rest began to train under the leadership of the samurai.
