Maori Yuan's actions this time were indeed easy to calculate. ¢£ Before entering the territory of the Luo family this time, Maori Yuan deliberately asked the team to go on a large scale along the way, fearing that others would not know that they were going to the Luo family.
The main reason for such a big fanfare is indeed to let the world know that they have entered the territory of the Luo family. In this case, it is equivalent to adding an amulet to this team of troops. If they make any mistakes after entering the territory of the Luo family, the Maori family will use this as an excuse to loudly publicize the false benevolence and righteousness of the Luo family (not be kind at all, and will kill envoys from all sides at will).
If it were in the past, Masayoshi would not have been afraid of this trick to threaten you in the great sense, but at this time the Luo family was managing the Houguo and using various relatively peaceful methods to win over the local wealthy families in the Houguo. If the envoys from the Maori family entered the Luo family's territory this time, then the Houguo and even the more distant Chinese, Beiqi, the United States and other places would have a grudge against the Luo family and would not easily believe the promises made by the Luo family.
Even the Maori family took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and attacked the reputation of the Luo family, thus reversing the bad situation where the Luo family occupied the Mihara Castle, which connected the portal between Beihou and Anyi, and the Yicheng Mountain Castle on the coast of Beihou Kingdom, a large number of local wealthy families who had originally surrendered to the Maori family caused abnormal movements and even secretly surrendered to the Luo family.
Maori Yuan knew very well that during this special period, even if his envoy took the opportunity to make small moves in the territory of the Luo family, he would not do anything easily. This would take advantage of this opportunity to go to the Luo family to do some tricks.
However, Maori Yuan was really wrong this time. He analyzed the reaction Masayoshi would make from the perspective of a Warring States man. But Masayoshi was a modern man from later generations in his bones. Therefore, he did not fully follow the rules of the Warring States period, so Maori Yuan was destined to be unable to obtain medical support from the Luo family this time, and the people he sent to enter the Luo family territory as envoys and followers searching for information were also destined to suffer.
After being sent away by Masayoro, the Maori envoy returned to the temporary residence provided by the Luo family. At this time, he did not know that they had been closely monitored by the Luo family's Black Eagle, so after a little concealment, he secretly left the residence that night under the cover of the sky and came to a nearby secret wooden house.
At this time, a large number of followers he brought before and the Maori family's fine works that had long been lurking in the local area gradually gathered here from all over the neighborhood.
"Tell me, what have I found out?" asked the Maori envoy.
A middle-aged man dressed in civilian clothes immediately stood up (the man was a detailed work by the Maori family who had been lurking in the local Maori family before), bowed to the Maori family envoy, "I have visited the Luo family as an ordinary citizen, called the Interior Affairs Office and the recruiting office in various places." He paused for a moment, and then four words burst out, "I was impressed."
"Oh? Tell me, how could I be impressed?" The Maori envoy's body had leaned forward slightly at this time, and he was obviously very interested in this topic.
"Efficiency!" said the middle-aged man affirmatively: "The Luo family's institutions in various places are almost concentrated on one street. Although they only visited a few of them, they also took a quick look at the affairs of other institutions. What shocked me was that they were doing their work efficiency, without delay or difficulty. The speed of handling some of the affairs we discovered was several times that of similar institutions in our Maori family."
"Several times?" The Maori envoy sat upright in shock. In his impression, the Maori family's institutions have always been good at doing business. Could it be that the Luo family's institutions are more effective than the Maori family's?
"The second is discipline." The middle-aged man continued: "Although our Maori family also pays attention to discipline, as long as we are willing to find a way and bid, we can still easily find out information from our territory. However, in the Luo family, ordinary retainers must not approach and seek information, otherwise they will inevitably be arrested on the spot. Even ordinary leaders, although they were ordinary leaders who had been approached after careful observation, had bribed several times, but none of them succeeded. They had a good attitude and refused, but had a bad attitude.
, he directly expelled the lower house. Moreover, he was also wanted and pursued by the Luo family several times, and was obviously reported by ordinary leaders. If he had not been alert, he would have become slaves of the Luo family to build roads in various places with many detailed works of various forces lurking in the Luo family's territory. Here we also remind you to pay attention that in the Luo family, do not easily contact the ordinary leaders to inquire about information, otherwise they will be reported by them. In the Luo family, there will be a considerable reward after the report is successful."
"The third is self-confidence. I have been in the Luo family for a long enough time. I have talked to many of their retainers in various territories and ordinary territories. They are very confident about the strength of the Luo family, and many young people are still working hard to become retainers of the Luo family."
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the expression on the face of the Maori envoy gradually became a little serious.
The middle-aged man sat down, and another man dressed in a businessman's uniform at his head stood up (this person is also a detailed work lurking in the local area): "I was ordered to inquire about the commercial transactions of the Luo Family Territory. The commercial activities of the Luo Family Territory were extremely prosperous, especially the Feiqian Kingdom, the Chuhou Kingdom, the Chuqian Kingdom and other places that the Luo Family First occupied by the Luo Family in Kyushu. The goods here cover almost everything in all parts of the Warring States Period, and the price was fair and they were clearly priced. After exploring, more than 60% of the commercial activities here were controlled by the Luo Family House. The Luo Family House is a relatively small-scale controlled by the Luo Family House.
For a strict business alliance, franchise merchants are all over the world, including merchants in our Maori territory. The rest are mostly ordinary dependent merchants. The Luo family levies heavy taxes on trade, twice that of our Maori family. However, the merchants did not feel dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction. I asked a local general dependent merchant. Although the Luo family levies heavy taxes on them, as long as they hold their tax certificates, they do not have to pay any other fees within any area under the Luo family. In this way, their actual expenditure is actually lighter than the burden on their own territory."
"This is one, and the second is that no fee is required for any local farmers of the Luo family to go to the local commercial market to sell any items. There is no stall fee here. There is no protection fee, and the public security situation is excellent. The Luo family seems to be planning to use this policy to encourage ordinary hierarchies to participate in territorial commerce. In this way, in some places such as Feiqianguo and Zhuhouguo, they even did not pick up the road and did not close their doors at night."
After listening to the merchant's report, the messenger of the Maori family nodded with a heavy expression.
The third person stood up: "I am responsible for exploring the situation of ordinary people. In the Luo family's territory, most of the Luo family's disabled retired soldiers are villages at the village head. These villages have very strong martial spirits, and each village has a team that they call themselves "militia". There are martial arts training grounds in the village. Although the Luo family has implemented sword hunting orders, ordinary bamboo guns and other weapons can be placed blatantly in the martial arts field. These militia will conduct military training regularly every month under the leadership of the village head responsible for military training in the village. Moreover, schools are built in each village, and children of appropriate age must enter the school to follow the teacher's teacher's teacher's teacher's school, otherwise their parents will be punished. Another point is that they find that they are learning a strange language and writing. It seems that the Luo family intends to promote a unique writing and language in their territory."
When the Maori family messenger heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "How are the lives of those disabled retired soldiers?"
The third person bowed and said, "When disabled retired soldiers leave the army, they will receive a considerable amount of pension. After returning home, part of the fields they own is Yongye fields obtained by military merit (previously, all fields required taxes in the Luo family's laws. However, as some of the retainers in their families gained more and more military merits, the size of the territory obtained by using military merits soon reached the limit of the scale specified by the Luo family's laws. According to the Luo family's laws, in the future, they will only be able to use military merits to obtain other rewards such as food, coins, etc.
But this also limited some people's enthusiasm for military merits to a certain extent. Therefore, Zhengliang and several departments of his family adjusted the laws. Although he still maintained the maximum scale of the land owned by everyone in his family, the concept of Yongye field was added, allowing retainers to obtain the corresponding proportion of tax-free land in the fields they already owned, without paying taxes. These disabled soldiers also held different duties, such as becoming the village heads of the village responsible for training militias, children, etc., so the lives of these people are better than those of ordinary people."
"The child also participates in military training?" asked the Maori envoy in shock.
"Yes, the kids are studying in the morning and following the village heads in charge of the village military training in the afternoon for general military training. They call this the Boy Scouts."
The Maori envoy nodded, "It seems that these people will inevitably become the most loyal supporters of the Luo family. But have you ever visited the villages made of refugees?"
"I have been there. I have previously found a village composed of refugees who came from the territory of the Luo family who lived in the territory of the family. Moreover, the village heads of this village were also elected from these refugees, so I went there, thinking that they all came from the territory of the family, and maybe some of the most real news." He looked at the Maori envoy with some embarrassment, "As soon as they heard that the refugees from the Maori family were from the territory of the country, they invited them to stay. But when they said that they still remembered the Maori family, they immediately rushed out of the village. They actually refused to admit that they were from the Maori family and only called themselves the Luo family. Fortunately, they thought about the friendship from the same place, and did not report the Luo family as a suspicious stranger to the Luo family's local institution to find out, otherwise they would have been wanted to be hunted."
The Maori envoy showed an angry look on his face, "I forgot my ancestors. Did you give up like that?"
"No, after being expelled, I went to another village not far from this village, and found out that some of the refugees formed villages. When they first arrived, they had nothing. Luo Family built houses for them using the strange funding method called "interest-free loan" and even distributed public oxen, farm tools and other materials. Most importantly, they distributed land to them, and the price of these things was also "interest-free loan".
Those who sold them in such a way can be repaid in installments. The first person who came to the Luo family had completely paid off the loan at this time. Now these land, houses, and livestock are their own. In general, the Luo family will send two village chiefs, one of which is a retired soldier, and the other is a graduate of the Luo family's Luo family's Luo family and who can read and read to serve as the village head. The other management methods are the same as before."
After this person finished telling about his situation, people continued to report the information they had found. As everyone continued to describe, the Maori envoy's eyes became more and more serious.
At this time, the candles swayed in the wooden house, and the light was unstable, which also set off the face of the Maori envoy in the wooden house. Everyone had already reported the information, so at this time the wooden house was quiet, and the Maori envoy and the rest were thinking silently.
A crisp sound and the sparks exploded, making the dead wooden house more angry. The Maori envoy looked up at everyone and said, "Everyone, what do you think?"
However, after the Maori envoy made a statement, everyone remained silent. After feeling a little disappointed, he could only speak by himself: "It is undeniable that while the Luo family Masara has a strong army, the people under his rule are much better than those under our Maori family. This is why the escaped Maori family members are unwilling to admit that they are Maori family members and think they are Luo family members."
"How did they do this?" asked a follower who followed him on the mission to look at the Maori envoy in confusion.
"They provide all kinds of conveniences to the people under their rule, especially the strange 'interest-free loan'." The Maori envoy responded.
"But, sir, isn't this a total loss-making business?" Someone expressed his biggest question.
