Warring States Eagle

"Your Highness, there are frequent wars in our family, and the peasants and soldiers have already complained, and the ashigaru that our family currently has has gradually become a burden on the territory. Please slow down the expansion of the territory, Your Highness." Dongxiang Heiji felt more and more Masara's expansion The appetite is so great that it has even affected the stability of the territory, so he had to bite the bullet and advise.

In fact, Zhengliang also knew the actual situation of the territory.Calculated according to the income of the surrounding tycoons who support 100 standing warriors for every 5 shi of the territory, the current standing force of the Luo family has exceeded the output of the territory. You must know that the overlord of the entire East Matsuura, the upper Matsuura family, has a branch of 5 shi. There are only more than 500 warriors.If it hadn't been for seizing a large amount of food and weapons from the two big "rich men", the Ye Gaoshan bandit and the Tahara family, the Luo family would definitely not be able to support such a military force.But the food reserves will always be exhausted one day, which is very dangerous when the territory cannot make ends meet.Thinking of this, Zheng Liang said, "Well, now let's discuss the future construction of the territory. I don't know what you think?"

"At present, the territory has expanded several times. Although Ye Gaoshan is located in the central area of ​​the territory, the road from the mountain to the foot of the mountain is not very good. Do you consider moving the lord's mansion to the foot of the mountain?" said Togo Heiji.During this period of time, he arranged for personnel to move the seized materials to the warehouse of the Lord Ye Gaoshan's mansion, and he really felt the inconvenience of the road.

"No, the road problem is easy to solve, as long as two avenues are opened from the lord's mansion to Yamashita Nodaka Village and Tashiro Castle. The road from the lord's mansion to Tashiro Castle will be in charge of 50 slaves, and 25 slaves will be drawn from Feiliang Castle. Ashigaru returned to the lord's mansion to be responsible for guarding and monitoring the slaves. The road from the lord's mansion to Yegao Village was to organize the leaders of Yegao Village to participate in the opening. There are more refugees who have just joined there. Relief with work," Zheng Liang thought for a while, and finally decided.The valley in the lord's mansion is not considered a mountain at all, at best it is a higher hill. It only needs to organize people to open up a straight road. According to the current level of manpower, it will take about a month to open up.What's more, Zhengliang has just received the information that the cement has been successfully developed. Although the quality is equivalent to the inferior cement of later generations, it is much better than the current mud. It is just a matter of testing the actual effect during the road construction process.

"Your Highness, the 500 shi of the corvee reserve for reclaimed farmland prepared last time has already consumed 50 shi after intensive reclamation in the past few days. Do you want to continue to increase the speed of farmland reclamation?" Togo Heiji continued.

"Depending on the situation, there will be turmoil in the surrounding powerful territories soon, and more refugees will join the territories, and most of the subjects have not yet reached the upper limit of 5 anti-lands per household. There are also a lot of wasteland in the territories, so continue to expand The scope of farmland reclamation is relatively good, even if the harvest of the reclaimed farmland is limited now, the income of the territory will increase a lot next year," Onishi Kuniji said immediately.

"Well, Guozhi is right. The scale of farmland reclamation is indeed necessary. Continue to increase the scope of corvée, and add another 500 shi to the original 500 shi reserve," Zheng Liang finally decided. The 1000 shi land reclamation corvee reserve can be said to be a large sum of money. Zhengliang has two main purposes for doing this. One is that most of the territories have just been conquered, and there must be many unstable factors, which just keep most people busy. , then those who are narrow-minded will have no chance; secondly, participating in corvee is paid, and it is precisely in this way that it benefits the lords, strengthens their sense of identity with the lord, and reduces dissatisfaction due to food and clothing problems.

"Yes, Your Highness," Togo Heiji immediately recorded Masara's order.

"Oh, by the way, there are many rivers in the territory." In my impression, Zhengliang has seen no less than ten small streams with a width of more than 5 meters.

"Yes, Your Highness, Higashi Matsuura is located on the coast, and there is a lot of rain, so there are many small rivers, and most of the farmland is concentrated near these small rivers," Onishi Kuniji replied.

"Okay, according to this specification, you require that such a small canal must be excavated in each field, and the two adjacent canals must be connected to each other." After hearing the reply from Onishi Guozhi, Zheng Liang immediately ordered the surname Xin Goro took a pen and paper, randomly drew a pattern of a canal half a meter deep and half a meter wide, and then asked everyone to enforce it in the territory, "In addition, organize personnel to dig deep into the river bed, heighten and widen the embankment. These are also based on Organized in the form of corvee, initially prepare 500 shi of grain as corvee reserve."

"Ah? Your Highness, increasing the height and widening the embankment will make it impossible to irrigate the farmland," Togo Heiji said immediately.According to the current agricultural level, it is impossible to use small sluices to control the water level.Once the embankment is raised, the fields lower than the embankment cannot be irrigated with water, and can only be irrigated by manually carrying water.

"Well, this is indeed a problem." Zhengliang was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly thought of this problem, "Well, I will give you some patterns of wooden tools for fetching water later. Heiji, you give him to Yubei, and let him Organize manpower to make it, so that the problem of water intake can be solved. After the tool is built, the pattern will be burned immediately.” Zhengliang is going to draw a simple ancient waterwheel. Zhengliang must not remember the complex structure of the waterwheel Woke up, but the simple Mizuche Masara could barely recall it.With these waterwheels, even the field size of the territory can be increased.Hearing Zhengliang's order, Dongxiang Heiji bowed and accepted the order.

Why does Zhengliang attach so much importance to water conservancy construction?First of all, it can increase the output of the fields, especially the output of paddy fields; secondly, after hearing the explanation of Onishi Guozhi, Masara suddenly thought that there will be typhoons here, and they are relatively frequent, and it is about to enter the typhoon season. To avoid loss of field income, it is better to prepare early.

The opening of the roads, the reclamation of the fields, and the construction of water conservancy, it is estimated that all the citizens of the territory will be involved, and it will take at least two months of busy work. It can be said that the construction of the territory is already full. Zhengliang silently calculated in his heart, and finally said, "Heiji , You are responsible for the overall supervision of the construction of the territory, and ask Chujiro from Yedaka Village, Kosuke from Tashiro Village, Tsuda Hiromune from Chemu Village, Hirasa Taro from Fujihira Village, and Yi Nuo from Feiliang Village to step up the organization before the surrounding tyrants respond. In the past period of time, we have stepped up to digest the newly occupied territory."

"Yes, Your Highness," Togo Heiji bowed to accept the order.
