"This large-scale military expansion requires the establishment of a recruit training camp, and the location is still Ye Gaoshan's recruit training camp. With the addition of this group of soldiers, the monthly military ration consumption of each division will inevitably increase greatly. Zheng Liang decided to list the reasons one by one.

According to the law of the Luo family, the army's daily consumption and military rewards are directly extracted from the civilian agricultural reserves, while the military rations are only used as military rations during combat.With the size of the Luo family's standing team after the expansion of the army, the food consumed every month must be quite a lot.Even in the second half of the year, additional food will be needed to ensure these regular daily training.

After listing the standing daily consumption, Zheng Liang began to list other consumption places.

"According to the report, the relocation of the wealthy families in the newly occupied area of ​​Higo has been completed, while the migration of the wealthy families in Chikugo is still in progress, which also requires a lot of food." According to the law of the Luo family, every new occupied area Territory, the local wealthy families are almost all relocated to other places.

For the wealthy clan who resisted at the beginning, the clan was directly exterminated, leaving only the female family members, and the female family members would also be scattered and assigned to settle in other places.Dealing with the wealthy clan who voluntarily surrendered and cooperated, although the clan will not be exterminated, it will also be transferred.Of course, the relocation here is generally only aimed at the relatives of the rich family, and has no effect on the general citizens, so the scale will not be too large.

The relocated nobles will take root in the new place, and their original territory will be entrusted to the Luo family's retainers and soldiers.In this way, to a certain extent, the betrayal of some aristocratic families who still have small thoughts in their hearts will be avoided, and their old territories will quickly fall under the control of the Luo family, which is conducive to the rapid promotion of the Luo family's laws.

Wait until those wealthy families with small minds grow up again.They will find out.Or they have been gradually assimilated and become completely surrendered to the powerful Luo family.Or they were surrounded by supporters of the Luo family, even the people in their territory were die-hard supporters of the Luo family.In the end, they lost the ability to cause trouble secretly.

Of course, in order for the newly occupied territories to settle down quickly, it is not enough to rely solely on such a wealthy family migration policy, so there is a policy under Zhengliang that consumes more food.

"The Walled City Restriction Act continues to be implemented in the territory. In Hizen, Sato Castle, Hamada Castle, Imari Castle, and Kishidake Castle in Matsuura County; Shima Castle; Katsuo Castle, Asahiyama Castle, Haijin Castle, Sanse Castle, and Village Castle among the four counties of Kiku, Foster, Sanne, and Saka. Except for these castles, the rest of Hizen’s castles must be demolished. Chikuzen, The castles of Chikugo and Hizen are temporarily preserved." This order basically demolished all the castles without Hizen or garrisons.

In addition to the Luo family's law that no one is allowed to build a fortress in the territory without the permission of the lord, there will basically be no fortifications with walls in Hizen, and only open castles will remain. The town is rural.The main purpose of Zhengliang's doing this is to remove the barriers between the Hizen regions and to prevent the occurrence of the situation where the retainers and wealthy families occupy the city after the rebellion.

"Speed ​​up the construction of all roads in the territory, widen and pave the original roads in various places, especially the roads connecting Hizen to Chikugo, Higo, and Chikuzen's border towns. In order to speed up the progress. As a manufacturing and paving road The basic material cement, its manufacturing workshop will set up another one in Nakamura Castle and Yanagawa Castle.”

The cement here refers to the low-quality cement produced in the cement workshop of Luo's family.The quality of this cement is left to future generations.As a manufacturer, you will definitely be fined and pulled into a dark room.But for the current Luo family, it is still a pretty good building material.

Compared with roads paved with traditional mudstone, roads paved with low-quality cement mixed with sand and gravel will have much lower maintenance costs.The most important thing is that when it rains, the muddy condition of the traditional dirt road will be much reduced.This is conducive to the march of the army and the daily travel of the people.

"Intensify water conservancy construction. Vigorously release water conservancy construction and repair corvee to ensure that all the water conservancy facilities along the rivers and streams in the territory are perfected and utilized, and it is even more important to ensure that every field can be irrigated."

"The reclamation of farmland cannot be relaxed. There are still many places that can be reclaimed in the original occupied areas of Hizen, and the newly occupied areas must not only resume local farmland production as soon as possible, but also vigorously promote the reclamation of new farmland. In this regard, It can be carried out synchronously with the resettlement of new refugees and newly purchased population."

"My family's god melons (that is, sweet potatoes, generally called god melons or Zhengliang melons by the locals) and corn and other new crops should also be vigorously promoted in the newly occupied areas, and appropriate rewards can be used to guide farmers to plant them. "

"To increase the investment in each workshop, I plan to double the investment in the workshop this year, so as to expand the number of people and the scale of the workshop."

"Finally, it's the newly purchased population, the recruitment and resettlement of refugees outside the territory, and the resettlement of Ming immigrants. Especially the resettlement of Ming immigrants, there are already thousands of Ming immigrants in the settlement of Ming immigrants near Ye Gaoshan. Next, we will set up one or two Ming country immigrant settlements in Hizen counties, remember, these immigrants will be the citizens of their own family from now on, and must be treated equally or even preferentially." After talking about these plans , Zheng Liang deliberately paused, leaving some time for the retainers to think deeply and react, and finally said:

"So, everyone, do you think the current budget of [-] yuan for miscellaneous grains is too much?"

After hearing the Patriarch's words, all the retainers including Togo Heiji subconsciously shook their heads.What a joke, the owner's plan is too huge, it is estimated that the [-] shi of grain is enough for half a year's expenses.Now, instead of worrying about too much food, we are worried about not enough food.

Fortunately, in addition to the [-] grains, there are [-] civil agricultural reserves and [-] military grains in the territorial warehouse, plus the grains purchased in various ways, which are enough to last until the autumn harvest.

After arranging some territorial affairs again, the family appraisal meeting this time finally came to an end.After the evaluation, Zheng Liang left Duanmu Qingzheng and Mu Zuo Zhongzhong.

"Kyomasa. What's the current internal situation of the Ouchi family? Especially those wealthy families in Chikuzen." After all the retainers left one after another, Zheng Liang looked down at Duanmu Kiyomasa and asked. (To be continued..)
