The attack on the American and Iranians was very smooth. When Masarara led more than 50 samurai to the Tuyan of the American and Iranians, there were only less than 10 guards left in it. In addition, the leader was dead, so they surrendered very simply.

At this point, the strategy officially began on August 12th and ended on August 15th. Within four days, the Luo family's soldiers and several troops attacked at the same time. As expected, the Dongshan family, the Hanoi family, the Guan Mou family, the Akasaka family, the Dono family, the Tachishi family and the Miyi people destroyed the Higashi family, the same as the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves.

After resting in the soil and rocks of the American Ichizu, the next day, Masara began to rush to Tanoo Castle. At the same time, the relevant retainers who received the order of Masara to convene also marched towards Tanogo Castle at the same time.

On the afternoon of August 16, 2018, the meeting hall in Tanogo Castle was present.

"Meet Your Highness!"

"Yes!" Following the close servant Hu Na and the little surname Shingoro, Masayoshi walked towards the main position with majesty. The retainers immediately saluted.

"Everyone, this time my family won a great victory, all thanks to your strong support. I decided to give a reward. Tadajiro, you successfully attacked the Higashiyama family, the Hanoi family, and the Guan Mou family, and attacked Mizui Castle at an important moment. The first merit was recorded and the salary was increased to 55 stones. Huna Tong killed the enemy in the battle, and won the head of the Akasaka family, and promoted it to his close servant, with a salary of 25 stones. Luo's Masahide was besieged by enemy soldiers several times his own, and still fought bloody battles and defended the city, and his salary was increased to 30 stones." At the beginning of the assessment, Masayoro rewarded each person based on his military achievements. All the retainers were basically rewarded, and even Shingoro, the Xiao surnamed who was responsible for opening the secret passage, was rewarded with 5 stones of miscellaneous grains.

In fact, Zhengliang planned to significantly increase the treatment of the retainers, but the problem is that the Luo family is just a small powerful person now and does not have enough financial support. It is better to wait until the Luo family becomes stronger in the future and make plans. Looking at the retainers with joy on their faces, Zhengliang thought a little apologetically.

"Your Highness, the territory has been counted," said Heiji Togo, who arrived in Shuiyan Castle two days ago. "In addition to the new territory occupied this time, the stone height of our family is currently about 8,000 stone. If we increase the efforts to reclaim farmland, it is expected that the territory stone height can be increased to about 9,000 stone next year, and the territory's population will also increase to about 7,200 people."

"Yeah, that's not bad." Zhengliang nodded. The area of ​​the newly occupied territory is more than twice the area of ​​the original territory of the Luo family, so the income should be almost the same.

"In terms of materials, a total of dozens of swords, hundreds of spears were confiscated, thousands of stones of grain, two war horses, and the remaining coins and materials were still under inventory," Heiji Togo continued, "At present, the newly occupied territory has been basically stable, and the territory rules have also begun to be implemented. The rewards for military forces have been issued, but this time the military forces of our family have also been damaged a lot, and it will take some time to repair and replenish."

"I plan to increase the number of people in each standing football team from 50 to 60. I wonder what you think?" Masara asked after hearing Heiji Togo's report.

"Your Highness, the daily consumption of this strategy and the reward for military force have already cost more than 500 stones of food. In the past two days, in order to stabilize the stability of the newly occupied land, more than 300 stones of food have been spent. With the promotion of territory laws and the progress of various territorial construction, and the monthly salary expenditure of each workshop, it is expected that in the next few months, the monthly civil and agricultural expenditure will be more than 1,000 stones. Now, if Your Highness increases regular reserves again, the consumption of at least hundreds of stones of food will be increased every month. Please think twice." As soon as Masayoshi finished speaking, Heiji Dongxiang immediately advised him.

"Hiss" is really not aware of it, I was shocked when I calculated it.

According to Dongxiang Pingci's algorithm, wouldn't the territory need to invest more than 1,000 stones of grain every month in the next few months? But even if the grain collected this time is added, the civil and agricultural grain reserves in the warehouse are only more than 11,000 stones and military reserves of more than 3,000 stones, which seems to be a lot, but it is really as fast as flowing water. If this continues, it is obviously a risk of food outages. Of course, Zhengliang can also choose to reduce the relevant compensation in the territory's laws and even reduce the corvee service in the territory construction, but this will be untrustworthy to the people, and will greatly delay the construction of the territory and stabilize the speed, which will ultimately be more worthy of the losses.

"How many coins are collected this time?" In helpless, Zhengliang had the idea of ​​coins.

Since there is a danger of insufficient food, we have to give up the idea of ​​increasing the amount of food. The most important thing is to continue to purchase food. Now the autumn harvest season has entered, and the food will be slightly cheaper than other seasons. Moreover, the large amount of food expenditure is only temporary. As most of the leaders have winter food after the autumn harvest, they are also divided into fields at the same time, these leaders have to return to their own fields to prepare for the next year's spring plowing. In this way, the consumption in the first two or three months may be greater, and it will probably fall back to about half in the future. As long as we survive this winter, the territory's civil and agricultural affairs will be on track in the next year, everything will form a virtuous cycle. At that time, not only does it not require a large amount of investment, but you can even get more agricultural taxes.

"It is expected to be hundreds of coins," said Heiji Donggo, who flipped through the account book in his hand.

"Take it all out and let the Shenwu family help raise some of the food," said Zhengliang.

This is also a helpless move. Even if you have money, others may not be willing to sell food to you. What's more, the Luo family has offended the powerful Huzi family now. The ordinary young powerful people around him dare not provide support, otherwise it will be in danger of angering the Huzi family. A little further away from the powerful? Just a safe food channel is a problem. After thinking about it, it seems that you still need to find a divine house with many channels. This process will probably make a small profit.

"Yes", seeing that the head of the family did not mention the matter of adding regular items, Dongxiang Heiji immediately agreed. Anyway, coins are not very useful to the Luo family, so it is better to buy some practical things.

"The towns near Sayama Castle have moved to Yunoo Castle to settle down. Since the battle between several families, there have been basically no entrusted people near Yunoo Castle, and these entrusted people who are still unstable are moved there. Sayama Castle will serve as a base for the navy, and will be stationed by Sun Goro's navy." Masara ordered, "The rest of the newly occupied territories adopt the same policy, and arrange some newly entered territories in these places to reduce the risk of spies being incited by these territories, and at the same time enrich these places. Now, the number of newly occupied territories is indeed a bit small. Only when the territories increase will the speed of land reclamation be accelerated. We should strive to reclaim most of the wastelands suitable for reclamation before winter. Territorial education should also be promoted simultaneously. You can ask Kikuhi to assist in this regard."

"Yes, Your Highness" Hiraji Togo bowed to his command, "It is limited to just relying on manpower to carry out cultivation. It would be even better if our family could increase the number of some plowing oxen."

"What is a plowing ox now?" Zhengliang asked while picking up a cup of tea from Xiao's surname.

"The elderly and young people need dozens of stalwarts, the adults need at least fifty stalwarts, and the strong ones even need more than one hundred stalwarts," said Dongxiang Hei several times.

"Puff" Masayoro sprayed out the tea that had just entered. Is this too expensive? The price is as high as a trained war horse. No wonder Heiji Togo said before that he would not allow the purchased ox to pass through other powerful territories without being in the safe passage controlled by his family. No matter who sees these living coins wandering in his own territory, he will seize it without hesitation.

"How many oxen do I have in my family now?" Zhengliang calmed down and continued to ask.

"In addition, there were exactly 15 people seized this time, and most of the oxen were concentrated in Notaka Town," Togo Heiji replied immediately. It seemed that he knew all about these data.

What? There are only 15 oxen oxen in the territory of more than 8,000 stones? It’s so shabby! No, in order to speed up the cultivation of farmland before the next year’s spring plowing, you must consider buying some oxen. But where does the money come from? The income from snow salt is to rush to buy food, not to mention that there are dozens of oxen that need to be paid? The last time the more than 3,000 minus was only enough for more than 300 minus. The newly seized coins were also used to purchase grain first. The problem of coins was really a headache. In the end, Zhengliang had to say helplessly, "Let's talk about the oxen matter later."

"Yes, Your Highness" Heiji Togo also knew about the financial situation of his family and could not come up with good suggestions for a while. As for the other retainers present, they were not experts in internal affairs, so it was even more impossible to expect them to give suggestions.

"Okay, let's talk about the defense arrangements now." Masayoshi changed his topic and said the topic that everyone was most concerned about, "As the territory expands, the garrison range of each team will be increased, so in addition to guarding for the checkpoints, the patrol density must be strengthened. Below is the new defense garrison arrangement. Masato, you lead the fourth-leg light team to be stationed in Tuiro and Tanoo Castle in the United States, mainly to guard against the pirates on the Hibi Peninsula and the Uekura family in the west."

"Yes, Your Highness" Ping Zuo Zhengzhong salutes.

"Takajiro, you will be my deputy, temporarily leading the first team for me, stationed in Mangari Castle, the west coast of the former Akasaka family territory, to guard against the northwest of the Uekura family and the coastal pirates. Sorry, I had promised you to return to No Takayama to be responsible for the construction of equipment, but now the territory is really lacking in manpower, so I can only temporarily feel aggrieved you."

"I wish to die for Your Highness," Tadajiro took the order without any hesitation.

"Organize some peasant soldiers to block the mountain roads and rivers in the direction of the former Dongshan family, Hanoi family, and Guan Mou family. Build fortifications at the entrance of the small mountain road leading to the Bodokanyue Mountain City, and strictly prohibit entry and exit; build wooden stakes on the Tangchuan River leading to Tangjin, and strictly prohibit entry and exit. Zhengxiu is responsible for these matters. When building fortifications, you can find a helper to help."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Sun Goro, Sayama Castle will be handed over to you. Continue to increase the sweep of the pirates on the Hibi Peninsula of Oya Bay, so that they do not have time to focus on their newly occupied territory."

"My subordinates will definitely live up to what you expect."

"The cape crowd and other samurai will serve as my guards and be responsible for supporting everyone," Masarara said at the end. "As for the Guaikura family, who has no strategy this time, Masachika and Tadajiro should pay attention to harassing each other from both sides, so that the other party has no time to take advantage of the new occupation of land that has not stabilized."

"Yes, Your Highness."

It is indeed a bit regrettable that the Shangkuang family was not able to guide the Shangkuang family, but the army was already very tired, and there were many wounded people in the battle, so they really needed to be repaired. As for the Shangkuang family, there are only one powerful family in the west of the Luo family, and the rest are some pirates. It can be said that the one who feels nervous now should be the Shangkuang family.

.............

As Masayoro expected, on the afternoon of August 16, while wondering what happened to the Dono family and what conspiracy was in Akasaka Toshitaki on the opposite side of Mangari Castle, Uekura Yuno finally received a report from the detective who sneaked into the investigation while the situation of the territory just occupied by the Luo family was not stable.

"Sir, it's not good. The news from the Detective Fan opposite came back. Now the Luo family occupies Mangari Castle. Akasaka Toshitaki was recruited in the battle with the Luo family, and the Akasaka family was destroyed." The Detective Fan said in a panic.

"What?" Ukura Yuno, who had barely shown a calm expression, was stunned for a moment, and even the teacup in his hand fell off the ground.

"This news is true?" Yuno Uekura confirmed again. Toshitaki Akasaka had been fighting with him for several years. How could it be so easy to be destroyed?

"Sir, the flag of the Luo family has been hung on Wanheli City opposite. Now some soldiers have blocked the shore on the other side of the river," said Jian Fan affirmatively.

"Hahaha" Ukura Yuno laughed to the sky, "Akasaka Toshitaki! I didn't expect you to have today!" However, the laughter stopped completely. Ukura Yuno suddenly realized that he missed the opportunity to capture Wangari Castle yesterday. It was a mistake. If he could be more decisive and calmly occupy the pirates for the first time in chaos, he would not have let the Luo family get a bargain. Now the Luo family is obviously prepared, and the family will not be able to gain anything again. Ukura Yuno blamed himself deeply.

"Huh!" Ukura Yuno finally let out a sigh and shouted, "Leave more than a dozen people to closely monitor the situation on the other side, and the rest are ready to follow me to the junction with the Dono Family Territory."

"Sir, sir..." As soon as Yuno Ukura finished speaking, a retainer ran in furiously.

"When will you panic?"

"Sir, the news came back from the Dono Family's reconnaissance. The Dono Family's residency castle, Tano Oo Castle, has been captured, and occupying it is said to be a little powerful man who has become the Luo Family."

"Bang" the teacup in Kamikakura's hand fell to the ground again. But this time, he was not as lucky as last time. He only saw the teacup break directly and the fragments scattered.
