It has entered early September. The autumn harvest in the territory has basically ended, and the leaders have once again invested in the clearing of the fields. Since the agricultural tax is much more relaxed compared to the powerful people in the nearby Bagong and Ernong, the farmers in the territory have received preferential treatment, but the territorial finance is not optimistic, so the agricultural tax received this year is only more than a thousand stones.

As soon as these autumn grains were collected, they were immediately consumed into the construction of the territory. Seeing the dou of grain distributed to the leaders of the people, Dongxiang Heiji, the head of the internal affairs department, was very happy. What was happy was that these grains were exchanged for the stability and hearts of the people, and the construction of the territory was also promoted. What was worried was that the grain reserves in the warehouse gradually decreased. Of course, with the arrival of the first batch of 2,000 stones of autumn grain purchased from the Shenwu family and the arrival of 20 plowing oxen, Dongxiang's concerns finally eased, and Masayoshi finally did not have to face Dongxiang's bitter melon face every time.

During this period, Wang Hai came to visit again, with the main purpose of counting and exchanging materials according to the amount determined by the last time both parties. After receiving the Luo family's supplies, he embarked on the journey back again. The next meeting will be until November. Before leaving, Zhengliang once again sent a large amount of dried sweet potatoes (cooked and cut into slices, and finally dried sweet potatoes) and cooked corn. The purpose was to ask him to introduce these foods to others on the same boat. The sweet potatoes were received from Ming Dynasty.

Zhengliang did not have much ambitions. After all, his strength was too weak and he had no chance to deal with the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Zhengliang did not have the idea of ​​a so-called savior, and he tried to become a savior by promoting these foods to the Ming Dynasty with all his might. This was impossible. Zhengliang's only purpose was to bring these things to the Ming Dynasty through these folk merchants and then leave them to those who are destined to be. As long as these crops can prevent a person from starving to death, it is enough.

With the promotion of territory laws, the newly occupied territory in the west has become completely stable. These farmers do not care who the lord is. As long as you can bring them a stable life, they will support whom. The pirates on the coast and the Ribi Peninsula have also become quiet recently. In this regard, Zhengliang is also content with the status quo. There are so many pirates there, and before the Luo family has completely taken root, they don’t want to have a conflict with them too early.

After the autumn harvest is over, it is estimated that the Hodo family will soon launch a strategy for the Hirado Matsuura clan. Masara is preparing to participate in the upcoming convening of the Hodo family. There are two main purposes: one is to further enhance the reputation of the Luo family. The other is to train the Luo family's military power by participating in this battle. In this era, fame and strength are very important. With fame, you will be more likely to have great righteousness (such as obtaining official positions), and the ronin will be more likely to surrender to you. The territory under the jurisdiction will be more stable. As for training, it is mainly that the battle is relatively large, at least a battle with more than 2,000 people participating. For the Luo family's military power, which lacks the opportunity to participate in a large-scale battle, this is an extremely precious journey of experience. Of course, opportunities and risks coexist. In this era of intrigue, you will die if you are not careful. Therefore, you must be well prepared.

To this end, Zhengliang began to make relevant preparations in August.

First of all, there is the problem of military rations. Although the Hado family was responsible for the military rations along the way after responding to the convening of the Hodo family, in order to avoid any changes, Masara still prepared to carry some dry food by himself. Masara tried to make Miso himself, but unfortunately, although he mastered the knowledge of later generations, it was not the same thing in real life. In the end, the compensation for the production of Miso ended in failure. Since it was impossible to make Miso, it had to settle for the second best, so Masara thought of pickles. Compared to Miso, the production of pickles is much simpler. As long as there are enough wild vegetables and coarse salt, you can make as much as you want. After pickles are marinated, they will take them out to dry the dried pickles. The pickles are too difficult to carry, and they are also

It is much easier to dry and carry. In addition to pickles, Zhengliang also asked people to make a large amount of marinated jerky, and they also processed the various animals obtained from hunting, cut them into pieces, marinated them with salt, and then dried the city jerky. As soon as Zhengliang's order was issued, all kinds of wild animals in the Luo Family Territory suffered. With generous rewards, a large number of leaders flocked to the forests and hunted all kinds of wild animals, ranging from wild boars to small rabbits. After a period of time, the number of wild animals in the Luo Family Territory decreased greatly. Of course, this is a good thing for the territory, which not only solved the problem of carnivorous food, but also greatly reduced the risk of reclaiming fields in the wild. After all, it violated the territory of animals (such as wild boars), and sometimes these animals will take the initiative to attack people.

By early September, the Luo family's warehouse had already reserved enough special military rations for marching. These special military rations mainly include dried sweet potatoes, dried pickles and dried meat after pickling. In the future, during the marching, just put these special dry foods into the mixed grains and cook them into a pot of rice. Of course, in order to quickly restore physical strength, Zhengliang advocated using pickles and dried meat as the main food. As for dried sweet potatoes, they are mainly used to replenish physical strength immediately. Anyway, these dried sweet potatoes can be eaten immediately without having to be cooked.

While solving the marching rations, Masayoshi also personally took up the training of military forces. Japan has many mountains, so it mainly focuses on adapting to mountain warfare. To this end, in the training of miya, in addition to the battle formation training, Masayoshi joined the training of mountain warfare based on the experience of later generations. Fortunately, the autumn harvest has ended, Masayoshi has given enough time to train military forces.

In this case, Zhengliang was inspecting the training of the military force, and Yinuo hurriedly reported it. Yinuo was re-enlisted by Zhengliang several times. Previously, the Luo family fell into danger due to his resignation. Zhengliang was furious and sent him to the "Hero Tomb" in Yegao Mountain while being responsible for the grave sweeping and recuperating. It is said that this guy not only changed his mind and reflected on every possible way, but also received guidance from Master Xuanzhi, who happened to visit his disciple, Monk Xuanru, and finally realized. Since then, Yinuo has become much more calm and sophisticated.

"Your Highness, the messenger of the Sashi family is visiting," Yi Nuo bowed to report.

"Oh?" Zhengliang felt very suddenly. What was the envoy of the Sashi family coming to do at this time? Could it be that the Huzi family had something unusual? It was impossible. The Huzi family was a powerful man who was focused on by the Luo family's detectives. As long as there was any disturbance, Zhengliang would definitely not know. Since he could not understand the other party's intentions, then let's meet again. After all, the Sashi family is still an ally of the Luo family. Thinking of this, Zhengliang asked Yinuo to agree to the other party's request for meeting.

The two sides met in a military tent at the checkpoint on the Luo family side of the two territories. Two people came to the Sashi family this time, one was Nobusuke, the important member of the Sashi family who made great efforts to form an alliance last time, and the other was a middle-aged man who looked over thirties and a little dark-skinned.

"Hahaha, Your Highness Masaru, please forgive me." As soon as he walked into the military account, Nobusuke apologized to Masaru who was sitting on the main seat.

"Haha, it's my honor to be able to come to me. By the way, who is this?" Masarara looked at the middle-aged man who walked in with Nobusuke at the same time.

"Sashi's general of the Navy Army of the Sashi family is scheduled to go to him." The middle-aged man saw Masara looking at him and immediately bowed.

"Oh? It turns out that he is the Lord Jingshi, known as the "Sea Fierce Shark". I'm so rude." Masayoro was stunned. It turned out that the person in front of him was the head of the Sashi family who inherited the position of the governor of the family and controlled his nephew, who succeeded the position of the family governor, into a puppet, just like Sashi Dingman, the real head of the Sashi family. Because of his bravery in the naval battle, he once killed a fierce shark with his own hands for one day. He was called "Sea Fierce Shark" by others, which means that this person is even more ferocious than a shark.

After both sides made some polite decisions, they sat down again according to the main and secondary divisions.

"Your Highness Masaru, it seems that the Luo family has been purchasing supplies recently. I really didn't expect that Your Highness would manage his territory to flourish at such a young age. It really makes me ashamed." After Nobusuke sat down, he first praised Masaru.

"Lord Nobusuke has been awarded. Thanks to the help of the Sashi family, such a large amount of materials is easily missed by others. If it weren't for the help of the Sashi family, it would be difficult for these materials to arrive at our territory safely," Masara responded with a smile.

"Hahaha, Your Highness Masaru does not need to be polite. It is necessary for you and I to form an alliance and support each other. Besides, Your Highness has also brought us a considerable toll income for our family." Nobusuke laughed and said, "But, Your Highness's supplies are mainly weapons and food. I wonder if something has happened in such a large batch of purchases? If there is a place that needs my help, Your Highness will speak directly, and I will definitely help you."

"Oh," Masaruo sighed and responded, "Nobusuke should also know that the Ishida family and the Hoko family are putting pressure on our family recently, and we have to prepare for the worst."

"Hmph" When Masayoshi mentioned the Huzi family, Nobusuke snorted, "The Huzi family's wolfish ambitions are always the enemy of you and me. If the Huzi family is not good for you in the future, our family will definitely come to help."

"This...this is really great," Masayoshi said gratefully, "In the future, the Sashi family will be attacked by the Huzi family, and the Luo family will definitely come to help."

"Okay, then you and I have a decision." Nobusuke was also very happy to see Masaru's statement. "In addition, I wonder if His Highness Masaru intends to respond to the call of the Hatano family on the strategy of the Hirado Masaru?"

Is the opera meat finally here? Zheng Jing smiled slightly in his heart, and then said with certainty: "Yes, the last time he met with Lord Ri Gaozongyi, I had made it clear that he would definitely participate in this guide."

"Oh. So that's it," Nobusuke nodded and responded.

"If you need help from your family if you have something to do, don't be careful not to speak directly," Masayoshi said with a smile.

"Since His Highness Masayoshi is so readily, I am not careful not to speak directly." The reply was not Nobusuke, but Sashi Tingshi who had never spoken. "This time, I am also preparing to respond to the call of the Homo family, and the general who led the troops this time is here. I hope that when we are guiding the Homo family, our two families can support each other. It is necessary to work together to weaken the strength of the Huzi family. I wonder what your highness wants?"

"Oh?" Zhengliang was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was using such an idea. It would be good to support each other. Although he must be a little wary to prevent the other party from selling him, there are many changes on the battlefield, and it is also good to support a friendly ally. "Okay, this is exactly the same as the original intention of my family. At that time, on the battlefield, I will ask the timely adults to take care of them."
