At the end of October of the 18th year of the Astronomy, a great harvest was encountered in the Luo family territory. Taking this opportunity, Masayoshi directly announced that the founding of the Luo family's academic institution, a large number of students from the school who had completed the autumn harvest work at home accompanied their families to the city of Xuefu City to prepare for admission, which made the city of Xiamachi, which had a population of nearly 6,000 at this time suddenly become lively.

This autumn harvest, the Luo family's territory of 1.6 million stones obtained a total of 1 million stones of grain and nearly 500,000 stones of income. The loss of nearly 100,000 stones was mainly due to the fact that the Fenghou Kingdom and the Chuqian Kingdom had just experienced war, resulting in the destruction of fields and population loss, which affected the spring plowing this year, and eventually led to the occurrence of a poor harvest.

According to the current average tax on five gongs and five farmers in the territory (only for one million stones of grain income), and the part of the votive territory still needs to divide 10% of the territorial income (this is for one million stones of grain and nearly half a million stones of remaining income) as the income of the votive retainers, the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet finally obtained 410,000 autumn grain and 490,000 stones of remaining income.

The latter's income of the remaining 490,000 shi refers to the income of territorial mines, workshops, salt farms, commercial taxes and other industries. This income must be actually converted into grain through various foreign trade means. Fortunately, the grain prices in various places will generally be lower during the autumn harvest season, so it is expected that food will be purchased higher than 490,000 shi. Of course, the price of grain changes according to various factors, which is actually difficult to say.

In addition, why did the Luo family have an income of 500,000 shi in the part of the industry such as mines, workshops, salt farms, commercial taxes, etc. in the end, after deducting the commission of the retainer, the Luo family still retained an income of 490,000 shi? The reason is that the mineral and forestry and workshop property of the territory such as mines, forestry farms, workshops, salt farms are directly under the Luo family. The retainers only have the right to have commission on their own territory agriculture and general commercial income. Therefore, the Luo family will eventually have income of 49 shi in various industries, but there is only 410,000 shi in grain.

It is precisely because agricultural income is the main income of each retainer's fiefdom, so they generally pay attention to local agricultural construction and then pay attention to the internal affairs of the entire territory. This is exactly where Luo's current needs to focus on construction. Zhengliang also indirectly guides the retainers and tyrants and leaders of the territory to improve production technology and adjust their business industries through the leverage of tax revenue.

Now, in addition to the more than 100,000 stones of grain raised by the Interior Pavilion through auction of salt fields and Hakata houses, there are tens of thousands of reserved grains that were originally left in the warehouse (most of the grain seized from the power of the Chumaki-kuo Temple Shrine has been consumed due to war, daily consumption and other reasons). Currently, the Luo family's warehouse has a total of 630,000 grains. This is the grain stored in the warehouse.

As for the remaining 490,000 stone income, it must be converted into grain as soon as possible before it can be included in the actual grain reserves. In general, from the period from this autumn to next year's autumn harvest, it is estimated that the Luo family will have 1.12 million income to use.

After discussing with the retainers, Zhengliang decided that within the next year, the income of one hundred and twenty thousand will leave 200,000 stones of grain as emergency reserves. The income of another ninety-two thousand stones will be used as the reserve for various institutions in the territory, the military status, and the daily work of the slave team (such as daily diet, monthly salary, travel expenses, regular pensions for widows and orphans), and 300,000 stones will be used as the reserve for paid corvee in the territory such as building marching avenues, reclaiming fields, and building water conservancy facilities, and 300,000 stones will be used as military reserves (military reserves will only be used during combat).

The last 20,000 shi was to encourage Fenghou Kingdom, which had endured the war last year, and the local government accelerated the restoration of agricultural farming, and was distributed as a "loan" to some local people in need for spring farming for next year. In fact, the Luo family's pension institutions have already lent food, spring farming and farming tools to local people in advance (the consumption of this part is directly calculated in the daily consumption of various institutions). However, considering that these areas have just become the territory of the Luo family, the local people are skeptical about the Luo family's system and may not apply for pensions in time, which affects the recovery progress of the territory. Therefore, Zhengliang simply took out 20,000 shi of food as a catalyst to make the local people realize the authenticity of these pension measures, so that while accelerating the recovery progress of the fields, he personally experienced the benefits of the Luo family.

Of course, relying solely on the 500,000 stones of grain returned to the people in this autumn harvest, it is actually impossible to feed the more than 900,000 people in the Luo family territory.

So how do these populations survive now?

This mainly survived by relying on the internal affairs construction system that the Luo family has been promoting. It has been ten years since the Luo family started. In these ten years, the Feiqian area has implemented the Luo family rules for nearly nine years, the Zhuhou area has also been seven years, and the Feihou area has been four years. After this period of development, under the promotion of the Luo family rules, the lives of the people in these areas have been greatly guaranteed. In the past, after eating this meal, the life of the food that has not been known to be settled, and now they can not only solve the daily food problem, but also have surplus food. It is also the accumulation of surplus food year after year that allows them to survive.

Of course, it cannot be said that before the Luo family came, they could not survive. Human power is endless. If there is not much food at home, eat less and drink porridge to live. If there is really no food at home, then go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and go into the water to catch fish. This can indeed ensure that they will not die, but it also leads to their physical fitness decline, and even unable to afford to raise children and unable to raise children (it is a very common thing in Japan in this era. Even some wealthy families often encounter this kind of life.

In short, in the past, they were almost out of their income every year. Now, under the rule of the Luo family for several years, the family has become balanced, and even a slight surplus, and the surplus is increasing every year. In the past, in order to develop these areas, Zhengliang invested a lot of resources (that is, to "foster the people"). It can be said that while fighting against the outside world, they must first ensure the development of these areas. Now these areas are gradually entering a balanced state. Not only does the Luo family no longer need to invest a lot of resources, but they will even produce more resources for the Luo family.

In other words, after the years of Roche's laws, a virtuous internal affairs system with balance between income and expenditure has been formed in the territory of Feihou. If there is no time to rest from beginning to end in the year, there will be no time to recuperate, and there will be constant wars in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Although it is the Warring States Period, such wars will be too frequent. If this continues, the internal affairs system of the territory will collapse and lead the people to resist, which is like self-destruction.

If you want to take it, you must give it first. After several years of investment in manpower and material resources, the territory of the Three Kingdoms, Feihou and the construction, became a booster for the development of the Luo family. It provided a guarantee for the Luo family to launch strategies, expand its territory, and absorb more people.

Similarly, the Luo family now reiterates the same development process for Fenghou and Zhuqian areas in the past (initiating large-scale paid corvee labor, implementing various "loan" pension systems and other laws on a large scale, in order to help the people through this difficult period, so that they can escape from the previous situation of not being able to make ends meet, and then enter a balance of income and expenditure).

But unlike in the past, now there is no need to go to a high-altitude steel wire, while scrutinizing whether the internal affairs of the territory are normal, while also expanding to the outside world with a detached approach. Now, with the three stable areas of Feifang, Hou and Feifang as the cornerstone, the Luo family can change it to be stable or not, and step by step to expand the camp.

Simply put, in the past, if the Luo family was defeated, it would be zero, and the Luo family would almost be in a state of doom (because almost all resources were invested in military and internal affairs construction, and there was no reserve of talents, materials and other resources). The current situation of the Luo family is that even if the foreign war failed for a while, it would not have much impact on the territory. The Luo family could withstand the storm and setbacks. This made Zhengliang more comfortable and comfortable when implementing the strategy.

Taking advantage of the move to the new residence city, the Luo Family Academy officially opened its government. The autumn harvest had just ended, and there were no major disputes abroad for the time being (during the autumn harvest, everyone stopped. This time, the Luo Family also followed the rules of the famous people and took back the military power from all over the country and rested the border station). During this period, Zhengliang also handled two major events in a row.

One major event is to provide some rewards to the retainers in advance according to the performance of each retainer this year (these rewards were carried out in the New Year's Annual Meeting). In particular, the promotion of Togo Heiji, Kinoshita Masaru, Yoshida Shigemasa and Isono Toshimasa were officially promoted to the genealogy retainers. This genealogy reward can only be received by prominent important officials in the family, and their clan members will be written into the genealogy of the Luo family's retainers.

The above four people are all important officials of the Luo family, and they are also members of the Luo family. They have followed Zhengliang for the longest time and their contributions to the Luo family are obvious to all, so they naturally received this due reward. Moreover, these four people and their families also fill the gap in the Luo family's genealogy of retainers and families. It is conducive to strengthening the rule of the Luo family.

Another major event was the second military parade in history in the territory under the city of New Home.
