Warring States Eagle

Chapter 43 Farm Tools

After some evaluation, the whole morning will pass in the blink of an eye.

After Kisaburo was also sent to the village outside the cottage to mobilize qualified children from each household to attend the school in the territory, Zhengliang was the only one left in the entire meeting hall.Now there is no one else in the entire lord's mansion except for the two ashigaru guards at the gate.Looking at the back of Kisaburo walking further and further in the corridor, Zhengliang smiled wryly to himself, the territory is still short of people.

Just as he was about to get up and go to the yard to have a look, he suddenly saw Togo Heiji go and come back. He probably just waited outside just now, and came in immediately when he saw Zhengliang finished arranging the affairs.

"Heiji, what else do you need?" Zhengliang felt a little strange, if there was something to report, why didn't he just say it.

"Your Highness, there is a shortage of agricultural tools in the territory right now. If it is not resolved, it will affect the progress of the land reclamation?" Togo Heiji said, "In addition, the new law of the territory will be implemented from tomorrow, and most of the people in the territory will return to their own land. If there is no manpower to reclaim the fields, should we consider organizing them to participate in corvee to reclaim according to the laws and regulations?"

"Well, I have arranged for Chujiro to speed up the forging of farm tools. In this way, I will arrange a few more people and apprentices to help." Zheng Liang replied, "As for the issue of land reclamation, I will do it according to your ideas. I will release a corvee in the afternoon. Notice. Mobilize the leaders to participate in corvee, half a day for corvee, and half a day for the leaders to maintain their fields. The corvee support food (that is, the remuneration) will be determined by you and Xingsuke according to the actual effect."

When Dongxiang Heiji heard Masaragi's reply, he immediately became a little anxious. Now there is a shortage of people everywhere in the territory. Where can I find someone to arrange for Chujiro? As for those apprentices, they have to attend the school in the territory in the morning, and they can only help in the afternoon, and they can only do it. Doing things like adding fire and delivering tea can solve the problem, "Your Highness, apart from the few people led by Chujiro yesterday, there is no manpower left to arrange. Those apprentices can't help much!"

"Heiji, I have no solution for the problem of manpower. I can only hope that Guozhi will recruit more refugees as soon as possible." During the ground training, "Well, I'm ready to let Kikuhime be responsible for the coins of the territory. In the afternoon, you can go to her to get 100 kan, and then arrange a few ashigaru to go to Hira Sataro in Tiano City to see if you can buy more. Some farming tools?".It turned out that Zhengliang planned to ask Dongxiang Heiji to bring more coins, but thinking about the weight of 100 coins, they would not be able to carry any more, and they would be eye-catching.

"That's right," Dongxiang Heiji slapped his head when he heard the words, and suddenly came to his senses, "I will leave for Tiano City immediately tomorrow. I heard from Taro last time that there are still a lot of farm tools in the warehouse of the city lord."

"No, Heiji, just send a few Ashgaru who know Hirazataro with your letters, and buy as much food as possible." As the number of refugees recruited in the territory continues to increase, the more food the better, "As for you, it's better to go down and arrange it yourself according to the results of the assessment. This period of time is an important period for the development of the territory."Just kidding, once Togo Heiji arrives at Tiano Castle, he will have to go for at least two days, and only Masaragi will arrange the farming and civil affairs in the territory. Wouldn't he be exhausted?

"Yes, Your Highness," Dongxiang Heiji bowed and saluted, "Also, Your Highness, even if there are enough farm tools, because there are too many bushes, it is difficult to clear these bushes in a short time even with the fire method taught by Your Highness. "

"Is that so?" Zhengliang frowned and pondered for a while, then picked up a piece of paper beside him, drew several patterns on it, and handed it to Dongxiang Heiji, saying, "This is a two-person saw, and this is a single-person saw." , are used for logging; and these two are hoes, which are used to eradicate shrubs and weeds; the last one is used to dig deep into the soil, all of which were built by Chujiro. After learning how to build Burn the pattern."

"Yes, Your Highness," Togo Heiji solemnly put the drawing into his arms.

"Also, have you made any progress on the cattle and horses that I asked you to inquire about?" Zheng Liang suddenly remembered what he asked Dongxiang Heiji to inquire about some time ago.In fact, there are dozens of plows in the territory now, but there are no cattle or horses, so we have to put it aside for the time being. If there are cattle or horses, the speed of land reclamation will be much faster.

"Your Highness, the location of Higashimatsuura is relatively remote. Farm cattle and horses are relatively rare and very expensive. Even if the family has the means to buy them, they are likely to be robbed once they pass through other powerful territories." Dongxiang Heiji replied embarrassingly. road.

"In this case, we can only temporarily rely on the method of land reclamation by the local people," Zheng Liang said with a sigh.

"Your Highness, can the eleven slaves in the cell consider arranging to cultivate the fields?" Togo Heiji suggested.

"No, I have already arranged for them to serve in corvée at Zhensuke." These eleven slaves are the only free labor in the territory at present. They have hoes, what if they run away or riot?In order to prevent this situation from really happening, we had to arrange more ashigaru guards, which was a bit uneconomical.

"Oh, this is indeed a miscalculation by the minister." After hearing Masaragi's reply, Togo Heiji immediately came to his senses.

"Your Highness, I have a request," Togo Heiji suddenly knelt on the ground after reporting the farming affairs, and said solemnly.

This guy behaved very strangely today. Zhengliang looked at Togo Heiji who was kneeling on the ground with doubts and said, "Say. As long as it can be done, I will consider it."

"Your Highness, as a wife, Kikuhime has fully awakened. Please forgive me for arranging Kikuhime in His Highness's mansion on his own initiative. In the future, Kikuhime will fulfill her responsibilities as a wife." Togo Heiji solemnly kowtowed , and then continued, "In order to make all the retainers feel at ease and the people in the territory to be safe, please get married as soon as possible and give birth to the young master as soon as possible." To her, and at the same time Xingsuke also gave his daughter to Masara. The two women are very good-looking. Togo Heiji felt that his daughter's status was threatened, so he did not hesitate to send his daughter to Masara's mansion in advance, wanting to "" Raw rice and cooked rice", let Zheng Liang determine Ju Ji's status.

What?It turns out that this guy talked for a long time, the main purpose is for this.Zheng Liang realized that he had underestimated the thoughts of these retainers in this regard, and even more underestimated the many conjectures of the retainers caused by arranging affairs for the women around him, and he smiled wryly in his heart.

"Hehe, Heiji, I will get married as soon as the territory is on the right track. Don't worry, haven't you heard that I have handed over the management of the currency and the orphans of soldiers in the territory to Ju Ji?" In order to stabilize the old minister's worries , Zhengliang had no choice but to remind Togo Heiji.

"Your Majesty is grateful for His Highness's painstaking arrangements. Please rest assured, Your Highness, Ju Ji will definitely fulfill her duties as a wife," Togo Heiji bowed and saluted.

"Okay, Heiji, it's decided like this. You go down and quickly arrange the affairs of the territory. I will also go to the backyard to see Ju Ji. It has been several days since I saw her?" Zheng Liang said pretending to be relaxed.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will go down to make arrangements immediately," Dongxiang Heiji bowed and quickly left the meeting hall.
