This drug trick is human trafficking.

In the Warring States Period, trafficking in humans was not a rare thing. The most famous of them was Takeda Shingen. After defeating the enemy or destroying the betrayer, this Takeda tiger liked to sell the people in the enemy territory as slaves to the person who was killed. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Takeda tiger the number one trafficker in the Warring States Period.

During the battles between the fat and the construction of the post, the Luo family should have seized a lot of copper coins. Zhengliang planned to use these copper coins to buy food and population.

Food. This has always been the material that all lords paid the most attention to in the Warring States Period. Its role is even more important than coins. When recruiting soldiers, many wealthy families almost directly use food as recruitment rewards. In this era, for ordinary people, being able to eat enough is the most important thing.

Of course, when it comes to purchasing supplies, this is inseparable from the role played by a person in it. That is the Divine House Shaoce.

Since Shenwu Shaoce joined the Luo family's Inner Affairs Cabinet, the cooperation between the Inner Affairs Cabinet and the Intelligence Cabinet has become closer. Internally, the Inner Affairs Cabinet needs to promote prosperity and taxation in the territory by encouraging trade in the territory to promote the prosperity and increase in taxes, thereby promoting the stability of the territory. In this process, Zhengliang's instructions and the experience of the Shenwu family played a very good role.

Externally, the Interior Government Cabinet also needs to continuously purchase some materials needed by the territory from outside. The original business route of the Shenwu Family provided a good business route for secret communication with the outside world. Although some powerful people have roughly guessed that the Shenwu Family had defected to the Luo Family, this did not prevent the Luo Family from collecting supplies everywhere under the brand of the Shenwu Family.

Similarly, the Intelligence Bureau also operates through these trade routes to monitor the stability of the territory, and on the other hand, it penetrates into the territory of other wealthy families through trade routes connected to the outside world.

The so-called surveillance and spy are not just about letting the detective or ninja sneak into the target's territory, or simply hiding under the target's window, conducting so-called secret investigation and eavesdropping. The highest realm is to silently integrate into the target's life, become a part of its life, and finally obtain information from it.

After the establishment of the Intelligence Museum, the goal it has always adhered to was the highest level that Zhengliang pointed out.

The Intelligence Pavilion can not only join forces with the Interior Government to conduct simple intelligence collection and spy, but they can even cooperate with the Luo family's strategy to do a lot of things.

Purchasing grain is one of them.

One of the external strategies of the Luo family is to constantly acquire food from the territory where the hostile forces are located in various ways, even at any cost.

The best thing to do in this matter is the Chuqian area. Over the past period of time, the grain in the areas around Hakata has been purchased in large quantities, either openly or secretly, causing the grain prices to continue to soar, causing ordinary leaders to even complain.

Just like the way to treat Hakata, Masayoshi is also preparing to let the Interior and Intelligence Pavilion vigorously implement this policy in Feihou.

Food is very important to lords, which is common sense for almost every lord, so they may not be willing to sell food. However, as long as they are many times higher than the market price, there will always be a few lords who will make mistakes. Moreover, not all lords can strictly control the actions of the people in the territory. The lords are unwilling to sell. Then there will always be people who will be willing to.

Buying a large amount of food secretly gradually raises the local food prices and food shortages. Then causing public grievances to gradually rise, this is just the first step. Zhengliang has the second step.

This step is the time.

According to Zhengliang's memory, in recent years, the climate of the Asian Little Ice Age will quickly enter the season of flooding in the Asian Little Ice Age. In fact, since the Southern Song Dynasty of China, the entire Asian region has gradually entered the Little Ice Age. And Japan is naturally no exception.

The most significant climatic feature of the Little Ice Age is the extension of the cold climate period. According to previous life records, in recent years, the climate throughout Asia, especially in the Ming Dynasty and Japan, which is on the longitude and latitude line, will be colder and drought, and the extreme cold period will suddenly intensify, and grain output will suddenly drop.

Such a climate is a fatal blow to a huge empire. The cold cold in the north generally caused the rainfall area to move southward, which led to the disasters that occurred almost year after year in the Ming Dynasty. This is also the reason for the gradual increase in peasant uprisings in the Ming Dynasty.

During this period, Japan was in the Warring States period, and such extreme weather did not attract much attention. However, this was very important to Zhengliang's next plan. Once such a small ice age climate intensified, unforeseen droughts or typhoons and natural disasters will occur in various parts of Japan due to climate changes.

Think about it, the Luo family secretly collected a large amount of private grain reserves in the territory. Once there was a drought, a bad harvest or frequent typhoons and other natural disasters, the leaders had no food. What other ways were there besides asking the lord for help?

The main thing is to open the granary to help the people, so the Luo family will take the opportunity to conduct a strategy, and a food crisis will occur. Besides, if you distribute the food, the people may not be able to win your feelings in the original public resentment atmosphere. If the Luo family is provoked by the Luo family, there will even be a looting incident. Moreover, the Luo family is not unable to deal with such things, such as making some poisonous rice, moldy rice incidents, or simply taking the opportunity to burn the food in a fire. There are many opportunities to create trouble.

If the people who are not helped, then the people who are in charge will be even more complaints. Under the deliberate instigation of the Luo family, it is difficult to guarantee that Ikki will not happen, so the Luo family can take advantage of the opportunity. Besides, the Luo family can also take advantage of the opportunity to recruit these people to their own territory, which on the one hand weakens the opponent and enhances its own strength.

Worrying that the Luo family would not be able to hold on? Are you kidding? The grain that has been buying in large quantities before is a guarantee. Besides, in the past three years, Zhengliang has vigorously promoted water conservancy construction, improved water conservancy facilities in rivers and fields, and made every effort to reclaim new farmland, what is this for?

The purpose is to deal with the extreme weather of the Little Ice Age. You see, in drought, you can use a large number of deep reinforced rivers in the territory to guide water to a large number of farmlands, so as to avoid the harm of drought weather to a large extent.

As for typhoon flood weather? Or these large number of built river water conservancy and field water conservancy facilities will greatly increase the drainage effect on rainwater. In addition, the equalization and diversion effect of a large number of fields on rainwater, disaster damage will definitely be minimized.

When you are ready and others are unprepared, this period is the time for the Luo family to show their strength.

In addition to the two methods of food and climate, Zhengliang is also preparing to implement a third method after fertilization, that is human trafficking.

The Luo Family Interior Affairs and Intelligence Pavilion will use the business road to secretly purchase large amounts of people in various places, especially the local indigenous people.

These indigenous people were originally a group of people who had a headache for the lords in various places in Feihou. Now some people are willing to buy these indigenous people at high prices, so they are of course very eager to do so. Although it is likely that the conflicts among the indigenous people have been provoked again, with the beating of interests, no one will be moved.

Moreover, the Luo family will also be insidious in secret. If the local lords hesitate, the Luo family will pretend to be them and attack the indigenous people. The purpose is to provoke conflicts between the local lords and even the local lords and the indigenous people by any means.

On the other hand, what other benefits does the Luo family have to spend so much effort to purchase these populations besides increasing the instability of the local wealthy family? The benefits are very numerous.

First, these indigenous people have always been unstable factors in the rule of local lords. Now, after reducing their local ethnic groups through human trafficking, their strength will definitely be greatly reduced in the future. At that time, after the Luo family takes over the fat family in the future, it will naturally be much easier to deal with them.

Secondly, after entering the territory of the Luo family, these people will be dispersed and settled in various parts of the territory, and then gradually assimilated by the surrounding territorial people. The culture of a group is inherited by a large whole. When they are independently dispersed, they will be gradually assimilated by the surrounding environment. With their joining, the territory will naturally have more power.

Third, these indigenous people are warlike guys. The Luo family can take the opportunity to guide and absorb them into the Luo family's army, making them a powerful combat power in the Luo family and make greater contributions to the Luo family.

Finally, being forced to leave their homes and relatives will definitely make these people full of hatred for the people who captured them. The Luo family can guide them to turn this hatred into combat power and serve as the pioneer army to guide Feihou in the future. I believe that with their hatred for the local wealthy families, they will definitely be fearless.

Of course, Zhengliang is not a ruthless person. Moreover, no matter what, one day, these growing indigenous people will always discover the role played by the Luo family. Therefore, Zhengliang also left a way out.

That is, before distributing these people to various parts of the territory to settle down, the Luo family will register their original tribe information, personal information, relative information, etc., and even allow them to register the information they are looking for relatives.

If conditions permit, the Luo family will arrange the family to settle down and will help them reunite according to the information they left behind. But this is only aimed at the family rather than the tribe. Tribes are not allowed to exist in the territory of the Luo family.

In this way, the resentment of these indigenous people will be reduced to a certain extent, and they will even be grateful to the Luo family and accelerate the speed of integrating into the Luo family.

The food is insufficient, the prices are high, and the natural disasters are enough to make the wealthy families in trouble. If they are combined with the conflicts with these indigenous people, the wealthy families will probably be in chaos.
