The shogunate officials who were accidentally mentioned in their chat were taken to a state-owned farm outside the capital to work in exchange for food for themselves and their families. Their family members who survived the Edo fire were also escorted here and became local farmers.

Tokugawa Iemitsu lived in the Tokugawa family in Bubu, the world since he was a child. He had never raised a hoe and was forced to roll up his sleeves to weed, loosen the soil, and drain water in the farmland.

In addition to Tokugawa Iemitsu, there were more than a dozen daimyos who were originally in high positions, and at this time they all became farmers in the farm. There were also special local farmers who taught these former masters how to farm.

"Weeding is not just a matter of shattering the weeds like you. If we cut the weeds without removing the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows... And you, a young man named Ida, you stepped on the wheat seedlings!" A farmer uncle roared at the former famous people in the field.

"Damn old guy, I never did these farm work before. If a farmer dared to point fingers at me like this in the past, I would have cut him off!" Ida Tada Zong was angry at the old farmer's fingers.

"Be patient, I guess the Kyushu Army will release us after we have worked here for ten or eight years. It's okay if you are young, you will definitely be able to wait until the day you return to your hometown, and I may not be able to go back in my life." Katsura Mizuno, who is seventy years old, was full of bitterness in his tone.

With his age, he will most likely die of illness in a foreign land.

"When I return to Sendai, I don't know what they have made there, and will it still be my hometown?" Tada Tadazong was quite dissatisfied with the Kyushu Army because of his defeat in the Osaka Formation.

"Hey, the meal is on!" The chef from the official farm came over with a few buckets of food, shouted to the famous men who were working in the fields, and even knocked on the wooden barrels filled with food with wooden spoons.

"It's time to eat." Everyone reminded each other that the daimyos brought their families to the vicinity of the rice bucket, and each of them received a wooden bowl to serve rice.

"Please ask for it." Mizuno Katsunaga and others made way for Tokugawa Iemitsu and his family, asking him to serve food in the front.

Tokugawa Iemitsu shook his head: "I don't need this in the future. We are all farmers now."

"Line up one by one, don't be crowded. Children and women line up in one line, and men line up in another line." said the chef.

The wooden lid on the rice bucket was opened, and the smell of the rice made the hungry warriors who had worked for a long time scream.

They have not tried the hardships of the lower classes for a long time.

The families of daimyos can make meals first, and the chef directly has a spoonful of rice, then pour some soup, wild vegetables and a or two slices of meat on it, even a meal.

In addition to the captives of the shogunate, the main body of this official farm hired local villagers to plant crops. The villagers planted crops according to the instructions of the government. The Ministry of Agriculture provided a schedule for rotation, farm tools, oxen, fertilizer, and villagers provided labor. They could get a share of the money when harvested. This method is no longer the traditional tenant farming system, but a capitalist employment relationship.

"These people were said to be the former landlords in Japan. They couldn't understand the dialects they spoke, and few people could do farm work. Thanks for not helping them. The farmers responsible for taking them to work were really miserable. This year's harvest would be allocated to them. If a few more people distributed the harvest, the harvest would be reduced, and the food they got would be less."

"The landlords are not touched by the spring water, and they still expect them to work?"

"When they are hungry, they know that it is not easy to grow crops. If the time is delayed and the seedlings are affected, there will be no harvest in autumn."

The villagers in the official farm also came to make food with wooden bowls.

In order to improve efficiency, the government specially cooks big pot rice as a welfare for the official farm.

However, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the villagers, Chu Yun each villager has his own land in charge in the official farm, which is distributed according to the harvest of their respective land. Some farmers were arranged to teach these pampered daimyos how to weed and farm. The harvest of these farmers was tied to the daimyos, so that the old farmers demanded the clumsy daimyos, which also allowed young daimyos, such as Tokugawa Iemitsu, and Ida Tadatsuzo, who were not familiar with farming, to get started with farming.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, Ida Tadazo, Mizuno Katsunaga and others gathered together. They had lost power and became farmers and had given up sitting down, but sat cross-legged like ordinary farmers.

"I don't know what the situation is in Japan, whether the warriors from all over the country will rise up to resist outsiders, and whether they will succeed." Tadon Ida still holds hope for the warriors in Japan, hoping that the warriors in Japan can successfully resist the new government.

"Their land belongs to the government, and the farmers directly pay agricultural taxes to the government. The new government ruled our Japan, and we should confiscate all the territory of Daming and Samurai. Someone will definitely rise up. But whether to dare to resist is one thing, and whether to resist successfully is another thing." Tokugawa Iron-Ku can see through it. He, the largest landlord, led a group of Daming in the East, and all the warriors in other places can compare to the forces that the Tokugawa Iron-Kuangawa Iron-Kuang?

"Ida Zhongzong, is Ida Zhongzong on this farm, right?" A small official who was sent to the command came over on a horse and found the farmland directly.

"They want to find you?" All Daming and their family looked at Tada Takazo together, wondering what the Kyushu Army had to do with him alone.

Tada Takazo shook his head, he didn't know.

"You are Tada Tada Sect? Your father Masato Sect helped us recruit retainers in the Sendai area in the battle against the Samurai Group in our new government, and also the contribution of transporting military rations to the front line. His only request was to redeem you and to exempt us from your sentence. The new government has agreed to his request. Now you are free, we will soon send ships to send you back to Sendai." said the smuggler.

"My father joins your camp?!" Tada Toshizo Ida was deeply shocked.

He did not expect that his father Masatozo Ida actually led his retainers from the Sendai area to surrender to the Kyushu Army, and seemed to help the Kyushu Army to deal with the samurai group. The reward was his Tada Takatozo Ida.

"Now that the samurai group has been basically pacified, and the new government has fulfilled the orders to all parts of Japan. Your Ida family will have other arrangements, and may not be in Sendai anymore." The clerk who sent the order briefly introduced the situation in Japan so as not to let Tadate Ida have any delusions.

As expected, Tada Tadazong felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard the news. He was extremely complicated. As Masatozo Idazong, he wanted to do something after he became a Masatozo, but his reputation was very high, and his father, who was one of Tokugawa Ieyasu, had surrendered to the Kyushu Army.

"What did they say to you?" asked Daxiong and Katsura Mizuno.

"Because of my father, they have exempted me from labor, and I am about to return to Japan." Tada Takasun Ida said awkwardly.
