Chapter 443

In the early May of the 12th year of Astronomy (1543), it was already the busy season for spring farming.

Since Kikuchi Yoshito secretly defected to the Luo family and secretly sneaked back to Fei as Masayoshi told him, Masayoshi has not been idle for almost a moment.

On this day, he began to inspect the territory accompanied by some retainers. Food is the foundation of the country. In order to reflect the king's attention to spring farming, Zhengliang also personally visited the field this time.

Of course, it is impossible to conduct a private visit on a mini-server basis. Although the Luo family has always been pro-identifying the identity card authentication system and strongly encourages the people to report strangers, it is difficult to prevent some people from mingling into the Luo family's territory in one way or another. It is not a peaceful time now, so Zhengliang had to start this inspection trip with a loud shout.

"Tick, Tick..."

Baili Hei's four hooves briskly hit the marching avenue paved with mud and sand and inferior cement, as if a beautiful marche was played. Of course, Zhengliang actually believed that this was a new thing called horseshoe that had been nailed to its four hooves recently.

Three months ago, with the efforts of Ming Dynasty craftsmen and local craftsmen, the first horseshoe of the Luo family was announced to be made. However, without knowing whether it was suitable for local war horses, everyone decided to try it out with a war horse on the wild mountain ranch.

After three months of trial and confirmed that the war horses could adapt to this kind of horseshoe that was transformed according to the local horse situation, Zhengliang immediately decided to promote it on the Luo family horse riding team. As the national lord's special rider, Baili Hei was naturally the first guy to enjoy this benefit.

Baili Hei seems to be very interested in the newly added horseshoe under his hooves, and he always knocks on the road with his powerful four hooves from time to time.

But these marching avenues paved with inferior cement and mud are not so easy to break.

After more than a year of promotion, almost all the marching avenues in Feiqian have used this new paving material. The marching avenues after the construction is still being paved. However, recently, the main energy has been concentrated on spring farming. Most of the marching people in the territory have been busy with farming. As these marching roads can only be paved by the new powerful marching people and refugees who have settled in the neighborhood. Due to the small number of people, the paving speed has also been much slower. But even so, all marching avenues within the marching avenues will be paved within this year.

His eyes skipped over the ground of the marching avenue, and Masara saw a large area of ​​paddy fields next to the main road with seedlings. For some reason, when Masarara suddenly thought of Masarako. Three years ago, when Masarara had just arrived here, it seemed that it was also at such a time that he saw a stubborn young woman and a little girl pulling out weeds in the field with difficulty.

At this time, Matsumiko had become a famous goddess in the Luo family territory. Many people call her a witch. Of course, this witch never had to dance witch dances. The experimental field that Masarara built at the foot of the wild Takayama Mountain was now transformed into a shrine, where the statue of Masarara was worshipped, and Matsumiko naturally became a priest here. However, this priest basically did not appear in the shrine, because she has moved to the Anyue City with Masarara.

What is even more interesting is that with the deliberate promotion of the Inner Government Pavilion, such a strange shrine seemed to gradually flourish in the territory of the Luo Family. Moreover, behind each shrine is a small farm-like garden, which is planted with a large number of crops vigorously promoted by the Luo Family.

Such a shrine also assumes part of the responsibility of assisting the Interior Cabinet in promoting new crops. Sometimes, no matter how sweet you say, it may not be as useful as the words of a priest in a shrine.

At this time, the leaders had already started working in the dry fields. In addition to rice, they also had a good effect on planting, that is, sweet potatoes.

The leaders found some sharpened wooden boards. Then they used the wooden boards to insert a rectangular hole into the closed field. The leaders beside them inserted sweet potato canes one by one in the hole and refilled the hole. Finally, someone watered the sweet potato canes. The leaders from better families would dig a small hole with a hoe near the planted sweet potato canes, and fill it with some fertilizer such as fire ash feces.

"Sir, look, the water truck we built in front of us." Before we knew it, everyone had already arrived at the bank of Zhuhouchuan, which had a wide water surface. Liu Le immediately pointed to a water truck by the river and said.

Zhengliang turned around and saw a water turnover truck appearing in front of him. This kind of water turnover truck was the first batch of water turnover trucks approved by Zhengliang.

The principle of this kind of water turnover is very simple. After the water wheel is set at a specific position, the pedal shaft of the overturn is extended and a vertical wheel (upright wheel). A wooden shaft is installed next to the vertical wheel, and two upper and lower lying wheels (horizontal lying wheels) are formed on the shaft. The upper lying wheel and the vertical wheel are the head wheel (the web protruding from the wheel periphery), and the web supports are intersected and intersected. The water is rushing the lower lying wheel. When the water flows to the lower lying wheel, the lower wheel moves and drives the upper lying wheel, and then drives the vertical wheel that is intersected with the upper lying wheel. Using the principle of gear connection and the principle of gear connection, the overturn placed in the ditch on the side, and the water is transported to the shore.

This is a water truck that uses the power of nature to operate, which is very labor-saving, and the water truck can be irrigated day and night. So when Zhengliang saw its design drawings, he immediately approved its construction.

Unexpectedly, the first batch of water trucks were chosen here. Zhengliang immediately tried to approach the water trucks by the river and prepared to take a closer look. At this moment, the soil on the bank of the river bank suddenly broke.

"Be careful, Lord, the head of the family." The retainers behind him exclaimed immediately when they saw the bank where the head of the family suddenly collapsed in a small area.

Fortunately, the bank embankment did not collapse again after a small part of the collapse, and Zhengliang also avoided the bad luck of falling into the Chuhou River.

"Qingshan Xinyuan, the Jiangchuan Clan." Zhengliang, who returned to the safe area, looked at the small section of the bank with a blue face and shouted in a cold voice.

"Master of the Family." Aoyama Nobuyuan, among the retainers, immediately rushed to Masayora and knelt down together.

"Check and see who built Duan'andi and who was responsible for supervising it. No matter who it is, they were cut off immediately." Zhengliang shouted angrily. The sound was so loud that almost everyone nearby heard it.

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Isn't it just a small river embankment that collapsed? It wouldn't be that everyone in charge would be killed?

Of course they didn't know why Masayoro was so angry. According to the inspection information provided by the Interior Cabinet, the main rivers in Himemaki are Matsuura River, Kase River, Hexakawa River, Momogawa, Kurokawa, Tangchuan, etc.; and in Himemaki, there are also dozens of rivers of various sizes, such as Kurokawa, Yabe River, and Yanagawa River, which are shared with Himemaki, which are also dozens of rivers of various sizes.

Among them, although the Chigo River, the largest river in Kyushu, provides irrigation water for the fertile soil of the surrounding plains, it often floods, causing water damage. In addition to the Chigo River, there is also the Matsuura River and the Yabe River.

It is precisely because of the gradually severe climate of the Little Ice Age in the future and the avoidance of river flooding due to extreme weather that Zhengliang has invested huge amounts of money and grain in the construction and improvement of water conservancy facilities in the past three years.

With such a huge investment, there is a tofu project, which is impossible for Zhengliang not to be angry. In his previous life, what Zhengliang hated the most was these borers who gave him the people's hard-earned money.

Zhengliang was determined to deal with these responsible officials. On the one hand, let everyone pay attention to the water conservancy construction, and on the other hand, to remind all officials to realize that they must not embezzle Zhengliang's hard-earned money and food, otherwise they will have to pay the price of bleeding.

A good territorial inspection was terminated early after such an incident. In the evening of that day, Masayoshi received detailed reports from Aoyama Nobuo and the Jekawa Clan. It turned out that the officials in charge of the supervision were greedy for food as wages, resulting in the river bank cutting corners.

At this time, Zhengliang thought of another punishment method. He was to take these caught officials to parade in various parts of the territory, establish negative building materials, and after the parade, he was demoted to slaves and besieged to be responsible for the maintenance and guarding of that section of the river embankment. Once the river embankment in charge had problems again, he would behead him directly.

Just as Zhengliang was dealing with this greedy case, a fast horse was coming to Anyue City with a shocking news.
