Warring States Eagle

After the evaluation was held, Togo Heiji first reported:

"Master Patriarch, the situation of all the territories of the family has been sorted out."

"Oh? Tell me quickly," Zheng Liang said.After more than half a month of hard work by the retainers, the general situation of the Luo family in Hizen, Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Higo was finally sorted out.

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

"My lord. The family's territory in Hizen, Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Higo. After detailed measurement, Hizen's income this year will be around 22 shi, Chikuzen's income will be about 20 shi, and Chikugo's income will be [-] shi. The income after fertilizer is about [-] shi. If we speed up farmland reclamation and business promotion, the income is expected to increase.”

As soon as Dongxiang Heiji's words came out, all the retainers in the council hall immediately started discussing enthusiastically.Although generally speaking, when a home is evaluated, the atmosphere of the evaluation should be relatively solemn.But Zheng Liang prefers heated discussions and even quarrels. With Zheng Liang's acquiescence, over time, the evaluation meeting of the Luo family evolved into the current atmosphere.

Of course, the result of the land inspection this time also surprised Zheng Liang.Adding up all the land inspection results, the Luo family is at least a daimyo family with more than 42 stones.

If you think about it carefully, the stone height of Hizen country is about 31 shi, that of Chikuzen is about 34 shi, that of Chikugo is about 27 shi, and that of Higo is more than 34 shi.Comparing with the status of the Luo family in these four countries, it is indeed almost the same.

42 shi.If the weather goes well this year, it will be calculated based on the current average agricultural tax of six people and four people in the Luo family's territory.This year, the Luo family has an income of at least 25.This time Zheng Liang's mood became a little tangled.He hopes that the drastic changes in the weather of the Little Ice Age will come soon.I also hope it doesn't come so quickly.

After getting a little excited, Zheng Liang quickly recovered his calm. Seeing that the retainers were still discussing excitedly, Zheng Liang coughed a few times, signaling the retainers to calm down, and let Togo Heiji continue talking.

After receiving Masaragi's hint, Togo Heiji continued to report:

"In terms of population, it is about 21. Since the newly occupied area is still undergoing more detailed population registration statistics, and with the addition of some refugees outside the territory and the population purchased by the family, the population is expected to increase. increased."

With a population base of 21 shi, an army of 1 people can be obtained if the military extraction rate is [-] out of [-].Thinking of this, Zhengliang already has plans to expand the army.Of course, the expansion of the army does not only depend on the population base of the territory, so Zhengliang is going to continue to listen to Togo Heiji's report on the situation of the territory before making any plans.

"In terms of food, due to the fact that a large amount of enemy food was seized during the campaign during this period, it is currently in the warehouse of the territory. There are still 13 civilian agricultural reserve food and [-] military food. Since the family is still buying a large amount of food, it is estimated that the food Reserves will increase before the autumn harvest."

"In terms of coins. At present, there are more than 2000 taels of gold in our warehouse**; more than 5000 taels of silver; Two silver mines have been opened, and the coin reserve is expected to increase."

"In terms of ore, there are currently more than 13 catties of copper materials, more than [-] catties of iron materials, more than [-] catties of saltpeter, and more than [-] catties of sulfur in the warehouse of the territory. Since the family will continue to trade with Nanban, Ming and local merchants The income, together with the income from the newly mined copper and sulfur mines of the family, is expected to increase the reserves."

"Weapons and armaments. In addition to the weapons being used by the generals and soldiers of the various teams, there are 35 swords, 25 three-guns, [-] sets of feet, [-] bows, and arrows in the warehouse. More than [-] arrowheads, [-] barrels of kerosene, [-] Ming Huotong rods, [-] Nanban matchlock guns, a small Frang machine gun, [-] boxes of ammunition, [-] sets of belly scroll armor, [-] sets of corrugated armor, Two hundred rattan cards."

"In terms of warships, this time we obtained 53 Kozayas, ten Dutch ships, six merchant ships, and eighteen Guan ships from various powerful clans in Chikugo and Higo Kodai's family."

"Finally, the newly seized more than 260 war horses have also been transported to the ranch near Nogayama, Hizen Matsuura County. At present, there are a total of 800 war horses and more than [-] wild horses in the ranch. In terms of farming cattle, the current territory There are already more than [-] cattle in the farm.”

After Togo Heiji reported, he handed over the account book to Naoshige Naoshima who came to him.The latter soon came to Zheng Liang, and respectfully presented the account book to Zheng Liang.

Zheng Liang flipped through it casually, and saw that there was a more detailed account book of material conditions.

"En!" After looking at it for a while, Zheng Liang nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the Luo family finally had a bit of wealth.

"Everyone, the next policy of some territories will be announced."

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

“我意将六个足轻常备番队，由原来的每个番队300人，提升到500人。每个番队中的长枪足轻与弓箭足轻分别为300人以及200人。”增加人数后的六个番队，由原来的总人数一千800人增加到3000人。

"The number of the first and second standing navy divisions increased from 200 to 300, and the number of ships remained at 26 and 100 ships; the number of the third standing navy division increased from 300. For 65 people, the Kohaya and Seki ships obtained from Chikugo and Higo are all used as the warships of the third division." In this way, the third standing water army division has 21 Kohayas and 900 Seki ships.The total number of Luo's family navy is also [-] people.

“第一常备骑兵番队也由原来的二百骑兵增加为三百骑兵；武士番队也由原来的300人增加为400人。侦番由原来的100人增加为200人；传令兵由原来的50人增加为100人；黑鹰忍者番队由原来的20人增加为100人；铁炮番队由原来的120人增加为200人。”

In fact, in Zhengliang's view, the 100-person Blackhawk Ninja Team is still insufficient, but ninjas can be there if they want to. Developed on the basis of orphans.Now that it has increased to 100 people, it has almost wiped out all the Black Hawk ninjas.

The above is the scale of Zhengliang's plan to expand the army this time.Except for the Cloakers, who kept the size of 100 people unchanged, all other fan teams have expanded their troops.The military strength of the Luo family suddenly expanded from the original standing army of 190 to 300, an increase of more than 2000.Coupled with the farmers and soldiers who can be temporarily recruited to participate in the war during the war, the Luo family can organize an army of 2 to [-] at any time.

All the retainers, including Togo Heiji, have no objection to the expansion of the Patriarch's army this time. On the contrary, in their view, with the current war potential of the family, it is not too much to form an army of tens of thousands of people.They are now more concerned about the issue of soldiers and armaments.

"Master Patriarch, I don't know how to recruit soldiers next?" This time, the question was asked by the military adviser Kakukuma Ishimune.

"In a few days, there should be many Yamagata and Yamabushi from Chikugo coming to join our family. This time, the recruits will mainly be these people, and secondly, they can be recruited in various places in the territory and then supplemented. " Zhengliang said immediately.

"At the same time, like Ye Takayama and Kishigake Castle, two more recruitment offices and staff houses will be set up in Nakamura Castle in Hizen and Yanagawa Castle in Chikugo to ensure long-term recruitment of soldiers and talents."

"Swords, spears, feet, bows and arrows, horses and other armaments are distributed by the military cabinet and the cabinet through consultation, and must be in place when new soldiers enter the squadron. All belly roll armor and body armor will also be distributed as rewards. Vine cards They are all distributed to the naval army. This time the military expansion, the family’s resources should be insufficient, and the cabinet must step up its procurement.” Zhengliang now has a lot of copper coins in his hands, so he is no longer worried about the money problem, but worried about the lack of supply problem.

It seems that they have made up their minds to set up their own armor manufacturing workshop. At present, their own weapon workshop can only repair the damaged armor, but they cannot complete the manufacturing of armor by themselves.Hope this period of time can be effective in attracting craftsmen in the Kyoto area?In this way, the problem of armor manufacturing can be solved.

"In terms of coins, gold and silver are reserved for trading with Nanban and Ming merchants, focusing on purchasing their muskets, gunpowder, kerosene, saltpetre, and iron ore. Copper coins are convenient, and they are all used to purchase local food, population and Daily supplies." Zheng Liang ordered again.

"In terms of food, [-] shi will be taken from the civil agricultural reserve as compensation for the territorial corvee."

"Master Patriarch, this?" Hearing that Zheng Liang had taken out most of the food reserves, Dongxiang Heiji's expression changed, and even the rest of the internal affairs officials also changed slightly.They have long heard that the Lord of the Kingdom has the habit of "spending a lot of money". Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.

Of course, Zheng Liang didn't know what the retainers were thinking. In his opinion, money and food were dead. Instead of putting them in the warehouse to mold, why not use money to make money and food to make food as soon as possible?Seeing that the extreme weather will become more and more serious, Zheng Liang certainly hopes to go all out to carry out farming activities in the territory.After all, only by planting the fields well can the Luo family have long-term war potential.

So farming is a must.
