Chapter 367: A New Residence
In the village city conference hall, Dongxiang Heiji is reporting on the post-war material situation.
"In terms of coins and minerals, all the copper coins seized last time have been used up." Dongxiang Heiji deliberately paused, as if he was deliberately reminding Masayoshi not to be too rude, "This time, a total of more than 13,000 guan of copper coins were seized; in terms of gold and silver, plus the previous reserves, there are currently more than 11,250 taels of gold and more than 13,500 taels of silver. In terms of minerals, excluding the consumption of the snow salt workshop and the weapons workshop during this period,
Currently, there are more than 135,000 kilograms of copper and more than 28,000 kilograms of iron in the territory. Due to this guide, the merits of each team are still under statistics. After that, some of the various ore reserves will be used as merit rewards and post-war comfort costs. At the same time, since the weapons of each team participating in the battle in this guide have been damaged, it is expected that after the weapons workshop repairs the damaged weapons, the copper and iron reserves will be reduced."
Oh my God! War is indeed the best way to get rich. With so much wealth added all at once, it is inseparable from the contributions of the tyrants who resisted. Zhengliang is now equivalent to chasing the savings of the tyrants for several generations at once. It would be strange if they don’t get rich. From this, it seems that those tyrants resisted and rioted were also beneficial, at least they gave Zhengliang an excuse to raid their homes.
"In terms of food, except for the relocation costs of the 10,000 shi of tyrants and the entrusted people that His Highness had just allocated, as well as the construction costs of the 8,000 shi of territory that were allocated last time, and the renovation costs of the 1,000 shi of Takayama Castle Town, the territory currently has 47,000 shi of civil construction reserves and 32,000 shi of military reserves. Also due to this strategy, the merits of each team are still under statistics. From then on, part of the military reserves will be used as merit rewards and post-war comfort costs."
At this point, the harvest situation of the territory has been reported.
"Yes" Zhengliang nodded after hearing this, and then began to think about the disposal of these materials.
"A variety of weapons are quickly replenished to each rank to ensure the combat effectiveness of each rank." Zhengliang said first, "If the damaged weapons are taken to the weapons workshop for repair, you must register and put them in the warehouse immediately after the repair is completed. The sulphur oil can only be replenished after the Ming Dynasty's merchant ship visits again. In terms of bows and arrows, all the bows and burrs are left. In addition to the training of farmers and soldiers, the rest are sold to the Shenwu family for sale on their behalf, and then exchange for more bows and burrs. In terms of oxen, more than 300 oxen heads are scattered throughout the territory to ensure that the oxen can be rented within a certain distance from the territory. The income from snow salt trading is continued to be used to purchase grain and oxen. Heiji, Yukisuke. You two must work together to cooperate in these things."
"Yes, Your Highness." The two who were called immediately leaned over and saluted.
"Your Highness, in terms of coins, I wonder what your Highness plans to deal with? Since there are not many grains and plowing oxen that can be purchased in other powerful territories, the income from trading with snow salt is enough to support the purchase of these two materials." Heiji Togo asked immediately after the salute. Obviously, he was worried that Masayoshi would spend money with great force again.
"Haha" Masayoro smiled slightly. Heiji Donggou knew about his thoughts. After all, as the lord of the old sect, it is normal to be a little bit stable. "Coins and copper mines are no longer used, so you can reserve them for the time being."
"In terms of grain, in addition to maintaining the allocation of 10,000 shi of grain for the migration of the wealthy families and some territorial people, 2,000 shi of grain will be allocated as the cost of land construction." Zhengliang said. In this way, adding 8,000 shi of grain has been allocated as the cost of paid corvee labor such as land road construction, land reclamation, water conservancy repair, etc.
"Yes, Your Highness." Heiji Togo took the order. He had no objection to this arrangement. After all, the territory has expanded so much at once, so it is indeed necessary to increase the budget.
"In addition, in addition to maintaining the construction expenditure of Notaka Town of 1,000 stones, an additional expenditure of 1,000 stones is added as the renovation cost of Kishigaki Castle." Masarara said immediately.
"Ah? Your Highness?" Several retainers looked at Masayoshi in confusion.
"I want to transform Anyue City into a new residential city." Zhengliang said.
In fact, after conquering Zojia County, Zhengliang had the idea of transforming Anyue City into a new residence city. First, Anyue City is located in the main zhongyāng of the Luo Family Territory. Moreover, many marching avenues connecting important locations have been completed, which is convenient for central command; secondly, Anyue City is surrounded by the territory of his retainers, and there are mountains around him as a barrier. It can be said to be a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack; finally, because Zhengliang's many technical secrets cannot be easily explored. The mountains of Anyue City just provide a hiding place for these secret workshops.
"I wonder how Your Highness plans to transform a new residence city?" The remaining officials who reacted had no other opinion on changing the residence city. Anyway, the territory belongs to the head of the family, so if he likes to live there, he should go there. So Dongxiang Heiji immediately asked. Since the family mainly renovated Anyue City, he must have made arrangements.
"I have already drawn the drawings for the specific transformation." Masarara signaled the Kosai Murakami Bukit to hand over the drawings that had been prepared long ago to Hiraji Togo, "You give it to Masuke and Tomoei Eiko."
"In addition, transfer all the weapons, coins, minerals and other materials on Yegao Mountain to Anyue City, and Yukisuke will be responsible for this specific purpose." Zhengliang continued to instruct, "All workshops on Yegao Mountain should also be moved to Anyue City. I have chosen the new address of the workshop. Heiji, you can arrange for trustworthy people to rebuild a new workshop there." This time the relocation mainly consists of weapons workshops, firearm workshops and paper workshops. At present, a cement workshop has been built near Anyue City, which obviously provides convenience for the construction of other buildings in the future.
"The salt farm and snow salt workshop in Banya Bay and Aoyama Castle are retained, and new salt farms are built on Eagle Island and Fukushima in Imali Bay." As the territory expands, the demand for coarse salt and snow salt will inevitably increase, so the salt production must be increased.
"Organize prisoners to build the marching avenue from Anyue City to Lion City, and Lion City to the village city." At present, there are nearly a thousand prisoners in the territory. Moreover, with the rise of the Luo family, the number of powerful people constantly pouring in will inevitably increase, and these marching avenues will be captured soon. Therefore, the number of prisoners will increase. Therefore, the labor force for building the marching avenue is sufficient.
"The service locations of the Secret Fan and others will also be moved to Anyue City." The service agencies mentioned by Masayoshi not only include various service agencies in the current territory, but also include the Ninja Village of Black Hawk. There are so many mountains near Anyue City, which is a good area for Black Hawk to establish a base.
"We have also chosen a new place of residence outside Anyue Castle. At that time, the territory will assist you in building a new home." Masara continued, "At the same time, according to the plan, markets and various merchants will be built outside the city." Masarara plans to transform Anyue Castle into a lord's residence for a long time in the future. In addition to retaining its status as an important market in the Higashimatsuura Peninsula and a place of cultural and medical care, the original Noita Mountain will also become the main settlement for Ming Dynasty immigrants.
After hearing the head of the family requested them to move outside Anyue City, the retainers took the orders one after another. In the Warring States Period, under normal circumstances, the important family members of the retainers would gather near the lord's mansion, mainly to act as hostages. Of course, this is also a way for retainers to express their loyalty, so many retainers were already thinking secretly that they would arrange for the relocation immediately after the assessment was completed. After all, the faster the move, the better the impression the head would give.
In this way, with the food allocated before, Zhengliang had already allocated more than 23,000 stones of food. However, Zhengliang obviously had no intention of stopping, so he continued, "Give another thousand stones."
"Ah?" Dongxiang Heiji exclaimed again. He exclaimed in his heart, why is there any? Why does the head of the family have to bring the territory's reserves near the danger line every time before he can give up.
"The Gannan Bocheng, Shuijiang City and Lianchi City of Zojia County will all move the leaders on the three forts into other counties. This thousand stone of grain will be used as the expenditure for this migration and the compensation for the leaders. Now that the chun farming season has passed, let them plant the god melon in their new settlements. As for the lost fields and the grain that can be harvested, all of them will be compensated by the territory. These compensations will be made in the place where the 10,000 stone of grain are built in the territory. This matter will be arranged by Heiji." Zhengliang said. The god melon is also nicknamed "Zhengliang Melon" by the leaders, and is actually the sweet potato that Zhengliang vigorously promoted.
"Your Highness is planning to use the method of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness?" Nobunosuke Akaba immediately reacted.
"Yes, completely cut off the opportunity for other powerful people to get involved in the family through there." Zhengliang nodded and said, "There are several forts there, and a large number of levels will be set up along the line. You must not put even a mosquito. As for those fields, these teams will farm, but the unique farming method of our family cannot be used to avoid other powerful people from secretly learning." Zhengliang turned the territory between the lines of Bocheng, Shuijiang City, and Lianchi City in Gannan into a military hoarding place.
"What should people in other powerful territories do if they want to enter their own territory?" asked Heiji Togo.
"Hehe" Zhengliang smiled sly, and then said, "Let them come in. Whether it is ordinary civilians, refugees, or various powerful people, let them come in. However, they can only enter but not leave. For ordinary civilians and refugees, just let them join relatives, and the territory can also help them connect their families outside the Luo family's territory to settle down. As for those domestic, with the promotion of the territory's laws, the number of slaves in their family will only increase. "Is it reasonable to say that these people come to their doors on their own initiative?
"Send personnel to pretend to be bandits and sneak into the territory of powerful men such as the Shin-Ye family, the Shin-Ye family, and make trouble everywhere, causing chaos in the other party's territory. At the same time, the Shin-Ye family sent to spread rumors and lure the other party's leaders to move to their own family. If the other party dares to intercept the border, then hit me hard. Nosuke will take responsibility for this matter." Masayoshi now clearly bullies Shin-Ye, and Shin-Ye and other powerful men such as the Shin-Ye are weak.
"Your Highness is wise, I will definitely be in trouble!"
Chapter completed!
