The third thing that Shenwu Shaoce asked for was to become a retainer of the Luo family.

Zhengliang was surprised by the request from Shenwu Shaoce. Although the Shenwu family is not very awesome now, a few years later, with Shenwu Shaoce's son Shenwu Shaozhan taking over, the Shenwu family will develop at a rapid pace and eventually become the three major merchants of the Warring States Period. Moreover, it is said that the ancestors of the Shenwu family were originally high-ranking officials of the shogunate, so the Shenwu family has a very profound background. Such a future rich merchant suddenly requested to become a retainer of the Luo family, which made Zhengliang feel a little sudden.

But soon Zhengliang felt it was ridiculous. The reason why he felt suddenly was that he knew the future development of the Shenwu family, so he thought that the Shenwu family was just awesome. But Shenwu Shaoce himself did not know these things. In Shenwu Shaoce himself, the Shenwu family is just a merchant who can barely count in Hakata. If he hopes to achieve greater development and status, he will have to rely on the big tree. He believes that the Luo family is such a big tree, and a big tree that is thriving on it. This is a great time to join the Luo family, otherwise it will not be his Shenwu family if it is later. So he came today and took out the treasures collected in the family as a gift, hoping to be recruited by the Luo family.

Of course, Zhengliang accepted such talents without hesitation, and also promised to accept the son of Shenwu Shaoce, that is, Shenwu Shaozhan as the small surname. In addition, Zhengliang formally appointed Shenwu Shaoce as the business practice of the Inner Political Department Pavilion, and was fully responsible for the territory's snow salt workshop and territory trade affairs. At the same time, a 3,000-stone territory was designated as the fief of the Shenwu family in Tangjin Bay. Finally, he taught some methods of Leshi Lezu to Shenwu Shaoce, asking him to discuss with Heiji Dongxiang, and tried to implement it in the territory.

Of course, in order to better cooperate with the intelligence work of the territory, Masara asked the Kamiya Shaoce to temporarily conceal his identity as a retainer of the Luo family, but continued to operate in Hakata as a merchant, and then secretly cooperated with Kizao Shigeta's detective to collect information from various places.

After receiving the reward from Zhengliang, Shenwu Shaoce immediately performed his duties. First, he had to find Heiji Dongxiang, discuss with him about taking over the business of the Xueyan Workshop and the General Territory, and follow the methods of the head of the family to implement the measures of the Leshi Lezu in the Luo Family. Secondly, it was to find Mu Zao Chongzhong and discuss the collection of intelligence through the trade route of the Shenwu Family. Finally, it was also the most important thing. He immediately moved his family's family outside Anyue City to live, and at the same time gradually moved some tribe members to the territory that the head of the family had granted him to live, and even some assets were transferred to the fiefdom. Doing this was not only to express loyalty to the head of the family, but also to avoid risks. After all, there were many forces in Bodok, and there were struggles and dangers at all times.

After sending away the Shenwu Shaoce, Zhengliang began to get busy again. This time he was mainly busy with the handling of the wealthy families. Just as Zhengliang expected, he saw that his original fiefdom was deprived of his relatives and his relatives were separated, and many defeated tyrants began to rebel. Fortunately, Zhengliang had already put most of the main personnel of the wealthy families with certain strength in house arrest beforehand, so only a few wealthy families were causing trouble.

>In the face of the overwhelming strength of the Luo family, they were crushed into powder.

Of course, these people are also people who know the current affairs. Nafu Shin-King is such a representative. As a retainer of the former Takasaki family, Ri later became an important minister of the Takasaki family's family. The old minister who helped the Takasaki family formulate national affairs was more thorough in the overall situation. Last time the Shao Er family besieged the Takasaki family, Nafu Shin-King escaped by chance. After the Takasaki family was destroyed, he decisively chose to return to his own territory and live in seclusion. Even when other wealthy families united together to try to compete with the Luo family for territory while the Shao Er family withdraws from the Saga County. Under such a good opportunity, he just made the family choose to wait and see without taking rash actions.

Obviously, he saw the general trend clearly. Now, when he received the Luo family's request to move his family to Songpu County, although his tribe members were quite dissatisfied, he forced to suppress this dissatisfaction. Not only did he take the initiative to cooperate with the Luo family's request, but he even came forward to persuade the families who were trying to resist to cooperate. He knew very well that the resistance of these families was undoubtedly a mantis blocking the chariot and overestimating his ability.

Masayoshi admired Nafu Shin-kyung's behavior of knowing the current affairs, and immediately recruited him as a retainer, promising him to serve as a civil servant, and asked him to assist Heiji Togo to continue the relocation of the nobles and some of the people. However, Masayoshi did not disband the family of Nafu Shin-kyung, but enfeoffed a territory in Matsuura County to settle down again.

With the help of Nafu Xinjing, the local tyrant, the immigration work seemed much smoother. Many wealthy families did not resist anymore. For Masayoshi, he was happy to see such a result. His original purpose was to move these wealthy families and their relatives out of the three counties of Small Town County, Zoga County and Kanzaki County, and separate them from the original lords. Then he joined the retainers who supported the new system of the Luo family as lords, and finally moved some of the lords of other counties supporting the Luo family, so as to achieve control of the new territory and completely eliminate the hidden dangers in these areas.

For those rich families, if they cooperate, the entire tribe will be moved to the old territory of the Luo family, and then surrounded by other retainers of the Luo family and the territorials who had long supported the Luo family, and finally slowly merged into the Luo family. If they resist, they will not only be suppressed, but the mastermind and the male relatives will be hacked and killed, but the other tribes will also be dispersed and placed in the old territory of the Luo family, and will be almost directly exterminated.

Under the policy of carrots and sticks, the migration work has gradually come on track.

At this moment, a new problem arose. The root of the problem lies in those temples. Regarding the problem of temples, let me first talk about the situation in Nishimaura. In Nishimaura County, almost all are occupied by temples that believe in Zen Buddhism. These temples believe in the benevolent and meditative world, and will not have monks and soldiers. They will not occupy a large number of fields. The most important thing is to cooperate with the rules of the Luo family. Even if they occupy some fields, they will pay taxes according to the rules of the Luo family. Of course, this is mainly inseparable from the efforts of Master Xuanzhi, the main representative of Zen Buddhism.

However, Zen Buddhism is only more popular in Nishimatsuura, which is located in a remote location. In other areas, such as Minamitsuura, Xiaochengjun, and Zogajun, other areas, other sects are popular. These temples not only occupy a large amount of land, but some even have monks. They are simply a tyrant. In addition to the temples, there are also shrines.

These temples and shrines occupy land to accept worship. They spread faith to the locals and help cure minor injuries and illnesses, pray for blessings, etc. They have a huge influence and are a force that cannot be ignored at any time. The most famous one is the Yixiangsect, who once mobilized more than 100,000 people in Kaga Kingdom to establish the so-called "Earth Buddha Kingdom".

In the past, because of the cooperation of temples and shrines, Masayoro was not very happy and was happy to live in peace with them. However, with the expansion of the territory of the Luo family, the problems of these temples and shrines emerged. Especially for these few reports, there have been reports of investigation and found that some temples and shrines began to secretly incite the people to resist the immigration work of the Luo family.

"Hmph, these damn guys." Zhengliang said furiously.

"It seems that it's time for these temples and shrines to be dealt with." Akaba Nobusuke said.

"This matter involves a lot and cannot be solved overnight." Kakuma Ishisen, who knows the power of temple shrines, said.

"I have already taken care of this matter." Zhengliang was about to say that he had already thought of a countermeasure.

At this moment, Murakura Bukit came in to report that Master Xuanzhi and Master Kuikawa Shaoxi were looking for a meeting outside the city. Masayoro was immediately surprised because his plan required the cooperation of some authentic monks. The arrival of the two of them happened to solve the problem.

So Zhengliang immediately summoned the two masters and then talked with them for a long time, and finally persuaded the two masters to help deal with the matter.

On July 30, 2018, a group of leaders suddenly came outside a temple gate in a small town county, crying that the monks of the temple were forcibly robbing the women of the people. Just as the monks of the temple were about to drive away these unreasonable leaders, a team of murderous soldiers of the Luo family came. After receiving the complaint from the people of the leaders, they forcibly entered the temple. Sure enough, several imprisoned women were found there. So, these soldiers caught all the monks in the temple without hesitation, and were directly chopped and killed if they tried to resist.

Zhengliang, who learned about this, attached great importance to it and went to interrogate the monks in person. However, during the public interrogation, he was assassinated and attacked by several monks under the eyes of Guigui. Although Zhengliang escaped, the assassinated monks also fled. Zhengliang was furious and ordered a comprehensive search of all the temples in the territory, threatening to find the real murderer.

The search started from the small town county, Zojia county, and Kanzaki county. Masara took advantage of the newly defeated powerful people around the Luo family and was busy hiding home and licking their wounds and having no time to take care of them. He drew some guards from the cities near the border and conducted a major search of the temples in these three counties.

At the same time, a large number of leaders suddenly began to cry to the Luo family about the crimes of the temples and even shrines, and the Luo family also found conclusive evidence after searching. So, a round of temples and shrines purge began. Under a rapid and extremely forced suppression, some people in these temples were directly chopped and killed, some people were forcibly returned to secular secular people, and some people disappeared from then on, leaving only some monks who obeyed orders and were willing to surrender.

Before the surrounding leaders understood what was going on, the temples returned to peace, but the presidency and even the Buddhas believed there were changed. Similar things happened in those shrines. The leaders soon discovered that the priests of the original shrine had disappeared, and some new priests had been replaced, or some of the more friendly priests in the original shrine became new priests.

In just half a month, the temples and shrines in Xiaocheng County, Zoka County and Kanzaki County underwent earth-shaking changes.

Those who seek justice were arranged by Masayoshi. Similarly, the so-called assassins were also arranged by Masayoshi. Even the evidence of those temples was framed by the soldiers of the Luo family during the search. Of course, there were many of them with real evidence. All of them were designed and arranged by Masayoshi himself. First use these things to mislead the surrounding leaders and smear the temple shrines. Of course, since the influence of those temple shrines on the surrounding leaders has long been deeply rooted, the only purpose of Masayoshi doing this is to temporarily divert the attention of the leaders and then find an excuse to enter the temple shrine.

Then he framed the blame, and even really eliminated the harm for the people. Finally, he quickly identified these temple personnel. After half a month of investigation by the Luo family, he could basically obtain certain information and directly killed those sinful people. Some people who were respected on the surface but were extremely evil in secret were secretly transferred and then killed. Some people who did not cooperate but were not serious and guilty directly forced to return to secular secular people and placed them in the slave team for transformation. In the end, only those kind and willing people were left behind.

For temples and shrines that have lost their territory, under normal circumstances, some people are directly drawn from various Zen-performing temples in Nishimaura to move into these temples and serve as new managers. In the case of insufficient staff, some people who are willing to cooperate will preside over the presidency. The way to deal with the shrine is similar, but because there is no personnel to replace it, some people from the shrines that Matsuura County had surrendered to the Luo family early in the morning to act as new priests, or simply let those who are willing to cooperate as new priests.

As for the land of the temple shrine, they all returned to the control of the Luo family by the way the temple shrine voluntarily or forcibly confiscated by the Luo family.

"Two masters, I am going to implement the law of the sacrificial certificate in the territory. In the future, both temples and shrines must be obtained before they can establish temple shrines in our territory. Similarly, monks and priests must also receive the certificates in order to preach in our territory, otherwise they will be considered as violating the law and arrested." A month later, Masarara said to Emperor Zhi and Kuikawa Shaoxi in the convention hall in the village.

"Your Highness Zhengliang can make decisions by himself. I am determined to realize the truth, so I will not participate much in this matter." Master Xuanzhi said. He and Kuaichuan Shaoxi were just planning to come back to see what happened in Feiqian and then realize the truth quietly, but they encountered such a thing.

Masayoshi also knew the temper of the two, so he only asked two people to do two things. First, the Luo family was preparing to vigorously promote Zen Buddhism that believed in meditation and enlightenment in the territory. This required the cooperation of Zen temples in Xisongpu County. Second, he hoped that when necessary, the two could come forward as respected monks to deal with some temple affairs. In response, the two finally agreed.
