Chapter 70 New retainers
"The villain Mu Zao Chongzhong pays homage to His Highness." The Chongliang family has been destroyed, so Mu Zao Chongzhong, who has become a wandering warrior, can no longer call himself a foreign minister.
"Haha, Chongzhong, is everything in the family okay?" Zhengliang asked.
"Thank you for your burial of your father. My father will definitely be grateful for your kindness in the spirit of heaven." Mu Zao Chongzhong bowed deeply to Masaru. This was his heartfelt gratitude. This morning, after bidding farewell to his father Mu Zao Chongzhong, Mu Zao Chongzhong followed his father's instructions and immediately led Yu Nami and his mother to escape from the city of Hiraki and hide in a nearby woods surrounded by all the family members of the family. Because of the rush to escape, no one cared with food. In the afternoon, Mu Zao Chongzhong had to risk returning to the city of Hiraki and search for food, but was surprised to find that
Liangcheng had been occupied by the Luo family, and even the Chongliang family and the Oda family had been destroyed. Mu Zao Chongzhong then bravely returned to his home in the castle town, intending to learn about his father's situation, but was informed by the Luo family guarding there that Mu Zao Chongzhong had committed suicide by seizing his stomach before the fall of Feiliang City. Luo family Masara had ordered people to restrain the body of Mu Zao Chongzhong and buried him near the ancestral tomb of the Mu Zao family under the guidance of the town people. Mu Zao Chongzhong immediately went to his father's tomb to worship and cry. After calming down, he immediately took everyone back to his home in the woods where his family was hiding, and then kept his door closed.
During the period when he was not leaving the door, Muzao Chongzhong was sad and thought about the situation at home. Currently, he was only an adult male in the family, and the others were old and weak. In addition, his newly married wife Yu Nami and her mother, who all needed to survive. When his father was alive, he still had a salary to support him. Now that his father passed away, everything could only rely on himself. So where did the money and grain come from? Judging from the situations found in the town people I met when I was looking for food, the Luo family is organizing all town people to register their families and land information. According to the laws of the Luo family, it can be foreseeable that the more than ten anti-field areas of the Kizu family are in the process of looking for food. According to the laws of the Luo family, it is foreseeable that the more than ten anti-field areas of the Kizu family are in the process of the Luo family.
Most of the farmers who will be confiscated, and even farming for the Muzao family will return to their fields, so that the fields will not be able to rely on. The money and grain reserved by the family? Even if there is too much money and grain, there will be a day to eat the whole country. Then there is only a way to become an official and earn a salary. So which family will become an official? Muzao Chongzhong suddenly thought of the scene of talking about tea art with Luo's family that day, and then remembered his father's evaluation of Luo's family in his last conversation with his father. His father's foresight was fulfilled on the same day. Finally, Muzao Chongzhong thought of the kindness of burying his father with great strength. It is obvious that, in terms of emotion and reason, the Luo family will be an ideal candidate for officialdom.
After making a decision in his heart, Kimao Chongtaka quickly came to the lord's mansion in Feiliang Castle to see Masara, but unexpectedly he met Hiroji Togo and Osaki Kōji who were about to rush to Nakao Castle. Kimao Chongtaka immediately begged for his fellow travelers. Ohaki Kōji also knew this young man who was highly praised by the lord, so he happily agreed. Finally, there was the scene where Kimao Chongtaka visited Masara just now.
"Your Highness, the villain is grateful for your kindness. In order to repay your kindness, please accept the loyalty of the villain. The villain will devote all his efforts to the Luo family." Mu Zao Chongzhong kneeled down to Zhengliang again and said solemnly.
"Okay, very good. Chongzhong, I understand your feelings. Now I officially appointed you as the Luo family's official, taking the post of a high-ranking general, and being fully responsible for the foreign diplomatic work of our family. The salary is 40 stones," said Masayoshi. "In addition, the family will be moved to the vicinity of the Lord of Nogaoshan. Heiji will allocate Wubian land to the Kitao family at that time."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my duty." Mu Zao Chongzhong was very excited at this moment. Although moving his family to the lord's mansion means surveillance, it may not be a kind of treatment that only important officials have. The cold reception in the Chongliang family in the past is in sharp contrast with the current grand encounter.
"Congratulations to Your Highness", and Togo Heiji and Osaki Kyoji immediately congratulated Masarara together.
Zhengliang waved his hand and signaled that everyone would not need to be polite. Then he said, "Everyone, my family has fought in a row in half a month. Although the territory has been expanded, due to the hasty time, the newly occupied territory needs to be digested faster. Now let Guozhi and Heiji talk about the situation first."
"Your Highness, the territory in Feiliang City has been completely settled. All the male members of the Chongliang family have been killed and the female family has been settled. Yinuo is now leading 50 sects to implement the laws of our family." Daxi Guozhi said first, "As for the 20 sergeants in the territory, in addition to some of them monitoring the territory's situation in various parts of the territory, most of them have sneaked into the nearby powerful territories to investigate the news according to His Highness's orders."
"Your Highness, except for the Haraoda family and Tsura family territory that I just occupied today, the population and land situation of other territories have also been registered," Togo Heiji also reported, "In addition to the territory that I just occupied today, there is a total of 2,183 people. Due to the increase in the speed of land reclamation, the land income is expected to be about 1,950 stones. According to the account information, plus the 820 people of the Haraoda family territory occupied today, 148 people of the Haraoda family, and 133 people who recently fled from Yunoo Castle to the territory of our country, there are currently a total of 3,284 people in the territory. In terms of land income, if the land income is not calculated, the total is about 2,300 stones."
"Well, the Haraoda family and the newly entered the territory will be placed in Fujihiro Castle. As for the other refugees, they will be placed in Notaka Village," Masarara thought for a while and said, "The Haraoda family's territory is farmed by the guards." As the army grows bigger, the daily expenses of the army in addition to their salary are getting bigger, and the food pressure in the territory has also increased a lot. Masarara decided to adopt the military reclamation system in later generations to achieve self-sufficiency in the army to a certain extent.
Heiji Togo bowed to take the order and then continued to report, "In terms of material wars, nearly 150 stones of military reserves have been consumed in a row, and only 1,650 stones are left to be dispatched; the 4,500 stones of grain reserves built by the territory have also consumed nearly 100 stones with the increase of population, and the remaining 4,400 stones can be dispatched; this time, a total of 850 stones of miscellaneous grains were seized from the Chongliang family and the Oda family; 35 swords, 103 spears, 20 marugitan bows, 5 pairs of simple armor, dozens of kilograms of copper and iron, 145 sprigs of copper coins, 231 liters of gold, and 230 silver."
"Please use the seized food as a military reserve. The rewards for this battle are notified to be distributed immediately according to the territory's laws and directly allocated from the military reserves." Zhengliang initially calculated that the territory's grain now has a total of 6,900 stones to be called. Although war is a huge consuming matter, it can basically ensure balance by fighting and raising war. The reserves of weapons are even enough to equip an army of the same size as the territory. You should know that the territory now has 40 medium-sized warriors (capped people), 160 regular spears, 40 regular bows and arrows, 20 regular reconnaissance players, and 20 newly recruited regular wandering warriors (they are temporarily treated with slight treatment); in terms of coins, after converting all gold and silver, the territory now has nearly 3,000 guan of copper coins.
