In the Luo Family Convention Hall, Masara continued to introduce his plan to the castle town.

"The recruiting house is also used to recruit Football and samurai. The newly recruited ronin samurai enjoys the treatment of a low-level samurai, but it must be used as Football and participate in Football team battles. Only after loyalty and merit are recognized can you be officially promoted to a Roche samurai." Masara continued, "Whether for Football and samurai, the quota recruited each time needs to be set according to the needs of the family. The full quota is only temporarily registered. Once there is a vacancies, the assessment will be given priority. If the assessment is passed, it can officially become a regular Football and samurai."

"You must sort out the above into words, write it on the verdict, and announce the door of the working people's house and the recruiting house," said Zhengliang. "In addition, the forging house must also be operated by the family themselves, and the general leaders cannot operate it for the time being." It is better for copper and iron as strategic materials to be temporarily controlled by the Luo family. Moreover, by controlling the forging house, you can also indirectly control the craftsmen, and you can immediately issue forging tasks to them during wartime.

Dongxiang Heiji quickly recorded Masayoshi's request on paper.

"The square at the exit of the canyon of the Lord's Mansion. All the shopping houses there are moved to the market at the foot of the mountain. A new public office is built in the original market to entertain visitors. Continue to expand this square, and it will be used as a place to gather before the territorial troops set off," Zhengliang continued. The public office is built here, which is convenient for protection and surveillance.

"In this renovation of the town, all houses were uniformly burned bricks. All roads and canals were laid in uniform, and trees were planted on both sides of the main avenues," said Zhengliang. In fact, the promotion of burned bricks in the territory is not good at present. The reason is very simple. Most people are poor, and the rewards they get from participating in corvee are of course better if they are used as miscellaneous grains to eat at home. Even if they cannot be eaten, they will be preserved. As for the residence, ordinary wooden mud houses are fine. More advanced wooden houses can also be considered. So no one is willing to exchange for burned bricks for house repair with corvee.

But why does Masayoshi need to force promotion now? There are several main reasons. First, it is considered to be clean and beautiful image of the Castle Town. To the outsiders use these materials in a unified way, it is much more beautiful. Second, it is for the impact of surface disasters. Matsuura County has many typhoons. If you use ordinary wooden mud houses or even wooden board houses, once the typhoon hits, it will probably cause a lot of losses. Finally, there is a deeper purpose. With the development of the territory, more and more wealthy families will be. Especially those retainers and samurai, but according to the laws of the territory, the land can only be so much, and the followers under his command are limited. So what is so much money and grain used for? Of course, I enjoy it. What Masayoshi has to do now is to build an impression that it is a very decent thing to build a house with burning bricks. In the future, these rich people will naturally be willing to spend a lot of money and grain to purchase these building materials.

In general, Zhengliang is transferring internal conflicts in disguise. To avoid excessive money and food, these people will breed some dangerous ideas. This is the so-called prevention of problems and escalation.

"Ah? This transformation may take a long time and it will cost a lot," said Togo Heiji frowned.

"Yes, first define a settlement place for Ming Immigrants on the south side, and organize them to build houses while organizing people to reclaim fields further south side. These three things must be handled first; then when demarcating the residence areas of the warriors, start building houses for them; finally, the original villagers were moved," Zhengliang decided. "The resettlement of Ming Immigrants is fully responsible. Pingci, you should assist Liu Le more; the rest of the matter will be left to Pingci, and you will be responsible for it."

The two bowed to accept the order.

"Your Highness. I have calculated that it would take at least ten ri to resettle those Ming migrants on the south side, to define the residential areas for them and cut down the woods there to sort out the land. Then, then organize people to build residences and reclaim fields, it would probably take nearly a month. In addition, the migration of samurai and the original villagers, if the transformation of the castle town is completed, it would take at least two and a half months. In addition, if you just distributed the 3,000 shi of grains you just distributed, it would probably affect the progress of other parts of the territory," said Heiji Togo.

"Well, two and a half months have already been very good. It was just completed before the chun farming, so it was implemented according to this progress." Zhengliang nodded and said, "As for the issue of grain consumption, the 3,000 stones of miscellaneous grains that have just been allocated will still be consumed for the development of the entire territory. In addition, one thousand stones of grains are allocated from the reserved grains as the consumption of this transformation." If it weren't for the current food being even more popular than coins, Zhengliang's plan for the transformation of the city town town would not have been implemented.

"Ah?" After hearing Masayoro's order, Heiji Dongxiang took a breath and wanted to allocate grain reserves again. He finally reserved 22,000 stones of grain. As soon as the head of the prodigal family came back, he waved his hand and took out 4,000 stones of reserves.

"Haha, Hirachi! There is no need to worry. I took out this part of the reserve. I believe that except for the military reserves still need to be consumed, civilian grain reserves basically do not need to be consumed before tillage. Moreover, although it is generally difficult to purchase grain in winter, you should still entrust the Shenwu family to try to help raise some more grain." Zhengliang saw Heichi Dongxiang's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he had to comfort him.

The head of the family said this, what else can he say? So Heiji Donggo had to nod his head with a bitter face and agree.

After the three of them finished their discussion, Zhengliang asked someone to prepare the meal. The three of them had lunch in the meeting hall. Then, under Zhengliang's leadership, the three of them came to the back garden of the lord's mansion.

After a month of renovation, the place has been completely transformed into a southern Ming garden in Zhengliang's wishes.

In a small woods, the three stopped. At this time, Heiji Togo discovered that the newly added "ghost" retainer was waiting there.

The "master" saw Zhengliang coming, Ander immediately came over.

"Are you all ready?" Zhengliang asked.

"Yes. It's ready." Ander replied with a military salute. Zhengliang ignored Ander's military salute. When he slowly integrated into the Luo family, these habits would naturally change.

"Have the rest notified?" This time Masara asked Masana Kinshita Masana Kinshita who was standing behind Ander. After the morning assessment was over, Masana Kinshita did not immediately return to the base of the first standing football team with Tadajiro. Instead, he stayed temporarily to complete Masara's latest task.

"Your Highness, you have notified all the guards as you ordered." Kinoshita Masaru bowed and bowed.

"Very good" Masaru nodded. Masaru was preparing to test the power of the mesh gun here, and then negotiated with Togo Heiji and others about the firearm workshop of the Luo family. However, during the experiment, there would be a loud noise, which inevitably led to the guards outside thinking that something had happened in the lord's mansion and rushed here to rescue. In order to avoid misunderstandings, Masaru had to let Kinoshita Masaru inform the relevant personnel in advance.

"Your Highness, is this?" Heiji Togo saw Masaro's mysteriousness. He even arranged for his retainers to notify the guards outside not to come in. In addition, he saw Ander holding a weapon that seemed to be a wooden stick in his hand, so he asked in confusion.

"This is a musket," Masayora said with a smile, "It's a weapon that will surprise you."

Heiji Togo still wanted to ask questions. Masara waved his hand and signaled him to ask later, then said to Ander, "You can demonstrate to us how to use this mesh gun? I also want to see its power up close."

"Yes, Your Highness" Ander saluted. Then he picked up the mezzanine, walked to the position he had chosen, and began to work.

The first step of Ander was to start cleaning the fire hole and the medicine pot of the coercion. While doing it, he said to Zhengliang: "The residue of gunpowder blocks the fire hole. This is a common problem with muskets, so musketeers need to clean these places frequently."

Zhengliang nodded and signaled him to continue.

After cleaning up, Ander took out some gunpowder from a small pot on his right hand. Then he opened one of the parts of the musket and began to pour the gunpowder into it.

"Your Highness, this is a guiding medicine. Only when the guiding medicine is loaded can the musket be fired. And here is the guiding pot of the musket, which is used to guiding medicine," Ander analyzed.

After carefully filling the induction medicine, Ander closed the lid of the induction medicine pot. Then he picked up a small white bottle and took out some gunpowder from it. "This is a scattering medicine." Ander also analyzed it and poured the scattering medicine into the muzzle.

Finally, he picked up the last bottle on the ground, took out a projectile from it, and loaded it into the muzzle. Then he pulled out the strip from under the barrel, smashed the projectile and squirted the medicine.

After pounding for a while, Ander said to Masayora: "Your Highness, it's OK now. Should you light a musket and fire it?"

"Okay, the rest of them should be careful to plug their ears." Masayora did not forget to remind people like Donggo Heiji who had not experienced the scene of musket shooting. After that, he stuffed his ears with both hands and walked a little further.

Togo Heiji, Liu Le and others also quickly left. But only Kinisha Masaru followed Masara and blocked his ears.

Ander had already lit the fuse at this time. The fuse emitted a burst of white smoke and then burned at an extremely fast speed. The scene looked a bit similar to the fuse burning when firecrackers were set off in later generations.

Ander had long been accustomed to this, but he fixed the fuse on the fuse clamp of the musket, then lifted the musket, and began to aim at a large stone he had prepared in the distance.

After aiming, Ander decisively pulled the trigger, then quickly closed his eyes, and the burning fuse fell down. At the same time, the lid of the medicine pot was opened due to pulling the trigger. The gunpowder inside was ignited, and with a loud "bang", the projectile went out. The big stone in the distance fell to the ground, obviously because it was in the projectile, and the center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.

While the loud "Ah" sounded, Masara also heard the screams from Togo Heiji and Liu Le beside him. He was obviously frightened by the loud noise.

After a while, the smoke from the musket fired away. Zhengliang had already arrived in front of the big stone that was hit, and touched another black trace that was slightly hot.

"Dian...Your Highness" Togo Heiji finally recovered from his tinnitus.

"How about it? How about such a weapon?" Zhengliang said with a smile.

"It's really incredible," Togo Heiji exclaimed.

"Haha, what kind of result do you think would be if these weapons suddenly appeared on the battlefield?" Zhengliang said with a smile.

"This..." Heiji Togo could not imagine it.

"I asked you to come this time to discuss the issue of this weapon with you. Our family wants to build a workshop for this weapon," said Zhengliang.

"I wonder how your highness plans to establish it?" Heiji Togo asked.

"I have already thought about the location of the workshop, so I chose it at the foot of the mountain to the west of the canyon. I chose it there, one for the purpose of keeping it confidential, and the other for the convenience of getting iron and copper from the warehouse of the lord's mansion; the third is that there is an open open space in the west, and it is close to a stream that is unused through the canyon," said Zhengliang.

"In addition, all the craftsmen in the workshop moved to the canyon to live. Without my own permission, no one except the craftsmen shall be allowed to approach this workshop. For the workshop and firearms, only a few of us know that we must never mention this matter to anyone else," Zhengliang continued to instruct.

Everyone present took the order solemnly.

"The iron and copper materials in the territory are used for workshops and will not be sold to the public for the time being," Masayora said to Hiraji Toyo, "The staff and supervision of the progress of the workshop will be left to you, Hiraji."

"Yes, Your Highness" Togo Heiji felt the importance of this work and quickly responded.

"Andell" ordered Heiji Donggo, Masara looked at Ander again, "I will leave the workshop to you in the future. I will find a few more craftsmen for you, but you must develop the first musket of our family as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, I need a few craftsmen who can help immediately, not those ordinary workers." Seeing Zhengliang propose to him the task of developing a musket, Ander dared not boast about Haikou. At least he also needs the boss to provide some effective helpers.

"After the workshop is established, several Ming Dynasty firearm craftsmen will come to help immediately," said Zhengliang.

"Oh? Fire Symbols? Are you talking about the muskets used by the Ming pirates?" Ander covered his eyes with both hands and obviously thought that the power of those fire Symbols was not very good.

"Okay, the work of the workshop is settled like this," said Zhengliang. He would not care about how Ander did it. As long as the other party can make him a modified version of the musket as soon as possible. "In addition, the musket just now is very powerful, but I have a few suggestions here." Zhengliang decided to use some of his understanding from later generations. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
