Chapter 38 Reward
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight penetrates the windows of the wooden house into the cottage.
Zhengliang slowly opened his eyes, raised his left hand and looked at his watch. It was still early. It seemed that summer was coming and the daytime was relatively long. However, as a lord, he had to set an example, especially when the foundation was not stable, so it was time to get up.
I slowly sat up from the tatami and scanned the furnishings around me. Last night, I hurriedly did not take a look at the new room seriously because I had made some important items overnight. It can be seen that compared to the previous mud and wooden cottage, this wooden house is a pure wooden house, and the floor is even paved with rotten wooden boards, which is more than four times the size of the original cottage. This room used to be made by Dalang, and now, including this room and the entire yard, have become Zhengliang's new mansion.
"Your Highness, have you gotten up?" Hearing the sound inside, a young female voice came from outside.
"Well, come in," Zhengliang responded.
"Squeak", the wooden door was opened, and a beautiful and innocent girl with a pretty face and aged about 13 years old walked in with her head down. The soft sunlight shone on her fair face, making her look particularly smooth and beautiful. This was the new maid who was stuffed over by Yukisuke last night. The first beauty in the original village, Yukisuke's daughter, Tsuru. Masara also knew Yukisuke's little thoughts, but she did not refuse. First of all, when she was rushing to make items last night, someone needed to fight. Because it was too late, Matsumiko would have to move here the next day to serve Masara as soon as possible.
Ryo, Tsurum just filled the staff. Secondly, even if Masaru really took Tsurum into a side room according to Yukisuke's idea, they only had their own gains. Yukisuke tried to ensure his status through marriage, and Masaru also planned to strengthen his contact with his subordinates in this way. After all, he lacked the retainers and relatives of the clan. Of course, Masaru did not intend to make Tsurum a side room immediately. After all, he had to consider the feelings of Togo Heiji and Kikuhime. Moreover, Tsurum was still too young, so he should slowly cultivate his feelings as a maid.
Although he was repeatedly taught by Yusuke last night, when he really helped Masaru wear clothes, Crane still seemed a little busy. Especially when he smelled the manly aura emanating from Masaru, he remembered the shrewd and kind deeds of the Lord and the legend of the divine envoys heard from the surrounding people during the day, and his heart was pounding like a deer. Of course, the so-called shrewd and kind deeds of Lord Masaru were deliberately arranged by Masaru to pass on the patrol team, with the purpose of strengthening the recognition of the new leaders of the lord. Facing such a beautiful woman, Masaru was very calm. He was only a 13-year-old little loli in front of him. What could he think?
After nearly a quarter of an hour of sorting, Zhengliang finally put on his clothes and had breakfast prepared by the crane. Zhengliang hurriedly led the two little surnames to the gate of the mountain village. After arriving at the destination, all the foot gaze except for the guard mission were all here. Zhengliang glanced at the neatly arranged team, shouted, "Go!", and then began to lead the team to start a morning run along the village outside the mountain village. The patrol team led by the two little surnames also began to slowly follow the foot gaze team in front.
The leaders of the Zizhong walked out of the house and curiously looked at the team of the new lord. When they saw the uniform steps and the slogans during the process, they were shocked. Seeing the expressions of everyone, Zheng Jing smiled slightly in his heart. This is what he wanted. It not only further deepens the new lord's fear of the lord, but also completely erases the thoughts of some leaders who still have a wait-and-see mentality. In the face of the powerful lord's strength, it is better to follow the lord obediently.
After the morning run, the temporarily selected team leader of the Football Team continued to lead the Football Training. Masarara ordered two young surnames to notify the relevant personnel to go to the lord's residence to participate in the assessment. He accompanied Tsuda Hirozo to return to the council hall of the mansion. Soon everyone arrived. Masarara knelt on a piece of wood that was slightly higher than the ground opposite the gate of the council. On both sides of the wooden couch, there were Hirozo Togao, Hirozo Osaki, Hirozo Tsuda, Yukisuke and Tadajiro. As for Tomoewe and Masara were convening people to carry out their work according to the results of yesterday's discussion.
Masayoshi glanced at everyone seriously, and then spoke first, "Everyone, I have gained a lot from relying on everyone's efforts this time. Here, I would like to express my gratitude again." Masayoshi bowed slightly and then continued, "Now the power of the Luo family can barely be called a small tyrant in the Higashimatsuura area, so the management of the territory needs to slowly return to normal. For this, please accept the following appointments first."
"Dongxiang Heiji, based on his performance during this period, was promoted to the general of the family, and to the government and Yubi Tou. Heiji was responsible for the agricultural, civil and documentary work of the territory. His annual salary was 45 stones." Masayoro smiled at Hiroji Dongxiang to commend him. Heiji Dongxiang calmly expressed a tribute to Masayoro, and his slightly trembling hands showed his inner excitement. Everyone looked at him with congratulations. As the oldest retainer in the Luo family, he was a member of the Luo family, and he had no objection to this.
"Daxi Guozhi was promoted to the general of our family, and led the business and business practices (equivalent to modern reconnaissance officers). He was responsible for the external communication and investigation of the territory. His annual salary was 40 stones." Zhengliang turned to look at Daxi Guozhi on the other side. "Yes, your highness, your subordinates will swear to follow Your Highness to the death." Daxi Guozhi immediately bowed to the ground.
"Tsuda Hirozo" Masara continued to appoint the appointment with a calm expression.
"Yes, Your Highness" Tsuda Hirozo couldn't wait to bow to the ground.
"He promoted to the general of the family, and was in charge of public security, and was responsible for the public security, territorial security and foot training work. His annual salary was 40 stones."
"It's great, Your Highness, you can now let go of your stomach and eat. The food provided by the territory in the past was not enough," Tsuda Hirosen said carelessly, "Ignorance, Hirosen, you are now the general of our family. Please pay attention to your words and deeds, and do not be rude in front of the Lord." Before Masayoro could speak, Togo Heiji immediately pointed at Tsuda Hirosen in a stern voice and scolded him. Osaki Kyuji, who was next to Tsuda Hirosen, also turned his face to look at the other side, which was very meaningless that I didn't know this person.
"Your Highness, please forgive Lord Guangzong's crime of ruthlessness. After the minister goes down, he will definitely improve his etiquette." Dongxiang Heiji pleaded mercy. Guangzong there heard that Dongxiang Heiji would teach him his etiquette personally, and his face immediately turned colorful, holding a bitter melon-like expression to look at Zhengliang, and he was very jealous. Seeing Guangzong's expression, Zhengliang felt funny, but he did not intend to let him go, and said seriously, "Well. Heiji, I'll ask you. Guangzong, you should ask Heiji for advice on etiquette, do you know?"
When Guangzong saw that the last saviors had failed, he had to hold the big bald head, looking like a wronged young wife, and agreed to the promise.
"Yuisuke has made a lot of contributions in this battle. He hired as a junior general of our family and was responsible for managing all the supplies of our family. Heiji Dongxiang, with an annual salary of 35 stones, but" Zhengliang paused slightly and said sternly, "Yuisuke, you must make sure that your warehouse will not lose even a piece of grain for no reason, otherwise it will be demoted to a farmer." Zhengliang had to hit this guy who was always clever. As far as Zhengliang knew, this guy used to help Banshi manage a lot of food and grass, he often filled his personal pockets.
"Yes, Your Highness, as long as you lose a grain in the warehouse for no reason, I will immediately raise my head to meet you to express my guilt." Yukisuke's whole body trembled, and suddenly remembered that this lord was a devil who killed people without blinking, and kowtowed immediately and said.
"Then, I'm looking forward to your performance," Masara nodded slightly and said, "Tashijiro, led everyone to surrender first, and assisted the family in quickly clearing the counterfeit, contributing to the family's rapid pacification of the counterfeit, and hired as the head of the Football Team, leading the weapons to perform a position, responsible for the forging and management of the family's weapons and daily equipment, with an annual salary of 35 stones. At the same time, I told Tomoewe and Masuke that the family hired them as the Football Team, responsible for the daily construction and wooden tools construction work of the family, with an annual salary of 25 stones, so let them feel at ease for our ability."
"Yes, Your Highness" Tadajiro is very excited now. Although his income is not as much as a bandit, his identity has improved greatly. He was forced to become a wild samurai because of family inheritance issues. In the end, he even became a bandit in order to survive. Now he has become a powerful retainer, and his status is even higher than his previous family status, so he is very satisfied. Moreover, the head of the family is so young that it can be seen from his combat performance yesterday and the situation of guiding craftsmen. It is impossible for ordinary tyrants to go further in time and he can gain something by then. At this point, Tadajiro has firmly decided to follow Masara.
