Warring States Eagle

In this era, due to the underdeveloped agricultural technology and the limited types of crops, the food production of general powerful territories is not high.If it weren't for the Luo's family's efforts to expand the melons and improve the farming techniques of the people, it is estimated that the current land alone cannot support a population of more than 90.

Especially for rice, due to the more requirements for planting conditions (at least it must be planted in a relatively fertile paddy field, and after waiting for the ears of rice, people must be sent to prevent birds and mice from stealing them. This paddy field is basically abandoned), so its output is even lower.Even if it is harvested smoothly, it will still be taxed by the local lords and wealthy families as strategic materials.As a result, I worked so hard all year round that I couldn't even eat a bite of rice.

In order not to starve to death, other than eating miscellaneous grains and gnawing dried radishes, the locals had no choice but to go to the sea to fish for seafood and go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.It is also very strange to say that the local culture prohibits eating the meat of animals with four legs (it is said that the "Forbidden Meat Order" issued by the Emperor at the time said that according to Buddhism, what you eat becomes what you eat, and eating meat will lead you to become an animal. For the good of everyone, don’t eat the meat of four-legged animals. Coupled with the movement of temples and shrines, the general people’s thinking is relatively ignorant, and over time, the people don’t eat meat), but eating fish is not prohibited.But even if you can eat fish, you have to be able to catch fish!With the fishing technology of this era, it is definitely impossible to rely on fishing to fill one's stomach.

After the Luo family came to power, they started the movement of building ponds around lakes and even cutting rivers in the territory, mainly by using lakes and rivers to create some ponds, and then started raising fish in them.At present, there are hundreds of ponds in the territory of Hizen Kingdom alone. The fish in these ponds have greatly enriched the dining tables of the citizens and improved their physical fitness to a certain extent.

Of course, in order to comprehensively improve the physique of the people in the territory, provide a better source of soldiers for the army of the territory and provide more robust people for the construction of the territory.The most important thing is to change the eating habits of the people in an all-round way.Here we mainly start from the two aspects of expanding the range of meat-eating of the citizens and changing from two meals to three meals.

The problem of changing the habit of eating two meals a day to three meals a day can only be developed among the army and officials, but it will not be widespread among the general population in the short term.After all, the reason why the citizens only eat breakfast and dinner every day is because there is not much food.As long as life is rich.This problem is naturally solved.

As for meat-eating, it is currently the first to develop among the army and officials.At the same time, it also relies on non-governmental organizations such as gourmet houses to gradually spread to the general public (actually, people from all over the country go to gourmet houses. Basically, the dishes they order are concentrated in sake, rice soup, dried radish, grilled corn, and grilled melon. , Steamed fish and other dishes, as for other meat dishes, few citizens will take the initiative to order).

In order to ensure a sufficient food supply, the development of this plan must rely on the large number of large slave farms in the Luo family's territory.And the last stop of Zhengliang's tour of the territory this time was this kind of farm.

After spending the night in the village of Narutoshin, Masara, accompanied by a group of [-] cloaks, [-] standing samurai squadrons, and Togo Heiji, embarked on a journey to a slave village at the foot of Mt. Journey to the farm. [

The mighty army caught the attention of the local leaders along the way. When they learned that the leader of the army was their famous lord, the leaders came to welcome the army along the only way.among the crowd.Zheng Liang even saw many Ming immigrants still wearing Ming costumes.

The army marched all the way, and arrived at the port of Imari Bay in the morning, and then boarded dozens of ships of the Second Standing Navy Division that had been waiting here for a long time, and then began to go to the Matsuura Peninsula.

Most of the sailors on these ships were fishermen recruited on occasion.At present, the Luo family already has hundreds of ships.Only relying on a standing navy of more than 2000 people is definitely not enough to drive all the ships. Therefore, in addition to standing, each navy will regularly recruit a number of people in the local area after obtaining the approval of the Military Cabinet, the Cabinet Cabinet, and Zheng Liang. A batch of fishermen (equivalent to the reserve navy) as temporary sailors.

After obtaining Zhengliang's permission, the navy ships finally set sail into the bay.The fleet sailed along the land along the coast.Passed through Takashima, Fukushima and Hirado ports respectively.

On Hirado Island opposite Hirado Port, Masara stopped for a while.Mainly to inspect the situation on the island.After several years of transformation by the Cabinet, this island has become an important commercial port in southern Kyushu. A large number of ships from all over the Wa Kingdom, and even smugglers from the Ming Dynasty and Nanban merchants stop here.Then trade on the island.Zhengliang walked around the island casually, and found that the streets here were clean and tidy, and from time to time, he would encounter guards composed of farmers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and there was an orderly scene everywhere.Zhengliang was quite satisfied with this.

After a short stop on Hirado Island and having lunch, Masara boarded the boat again and started heading towards the final destination.Not long after setting out to sea, the fleet soon encountered a patrol team of the Luo family's navy consisting of five Guan ships and [-] Xiao Zao ships.Knowing that Zhengliang was on board through the semaphore between the two fleets, the patrol fleet immediately set up a long snake formation across the sea, and all the crew members stood by the boat to ask where Zhengliang was. The ships saluted.It is their greatest honor to be able to accept the inspection of the family governor at sea, and it is also a major event that they can brag about after returning to the navy base.

After some ups and downs at sea, the fleet finally docked at the wharf of Banwuwan.

"My lord." All the retainers who had been waiting on the pier for a long time saluted immediately after seeing Zheng Liang get off the boat.This time, because there are some agriculture-related matters to be arranged, Zhengliang notified a part of the cabinet executives and capable people in charge of farming to gather here in advance.

As the first Banwuwan wharf in the Luo family's territory to be paved with cement, it has now become a commercial wharf for the Luo family, and a large number of Luo family merchant ships unload and load goods from here every day.Among them, the merchant ships transporting sea salt and snow salt are the most.This is mainly because the first salt drying field and the only snow salt workshop of the Luo family are near this pier.After several years of development, the salt field near the wharf and the snow salt workshop have expanded two or three times in size, and these two workshops have also become the main livelihood workshops of the local people.

After meeting with the vassals who came to welcome him, Masara began to go to Ye Gaoshan accompanied by everyone.At this time, the people along the road had already heard the news of Zheng Liang's arrival, and they all dropped their work and rushed to both sides of the marching avenue.This area is where the Luo family made their fortune, so almost all the residents here are diehard members of the Luo family.Compared with those citizens in the Imari Plain who just came to join in the fun and watch monkeys, the citizens here welcomed Zhengliang from the bottom of their hearts, and some even knelt on the ground to bow to Zhengliang (in their eyes, Masara is the embodiment of the actual Hachiman Bodhisattva).

As more and more people were used, some fanatical people even tried to get close to Zhengliang, which led to the cloaked people and the samurai team responsible for protecting Zhengliang had to come to both sides of the marching road to form a human wall to prevent the people from approaching.He even notified the recruit training camp at the foot of Yegao Mountain to lead the reserve farmers and soldiers to maintain order.

Zheng Liang rode his horse on the temporary Congye Gaoshan Ranch, and while waving to the leaders on both sides of the road, he felt a feeling of returning home in his heart.This is really his home.

As the place where the Roche family made their fortune, this place has also undergone the biggest changes.Along the way, Zheng Liang saw many things that made him feel gratified.for example:

The marching cement avenue that can lead to five war horses at the same time; both sides of the road are full of trees such as cotton and cherry blossoms.And a little farther away is a large piece of fertile farmland. In the farmland, Zhengliang saw sweet potatoes (also called Shengua or Zhengliang melons by the leaders), corn and other unique crops of the Luo family.

What shocked Zheng Liang the most was that all the houses of the local people in the village were built with cement bricks and tiles.From a distance, it looks quite neat and beautiful. [
