After the farce with the Harada family ended, Masarara prepared for the upcoming Ouchi family's strategy for the Niko family, while burying his head in the government affairs of the territory.

After more than two months of renovation, the new residence of Anyue Castle, Uchimaru, had been renovated, and Masara also moved in with his family and the servants of the lord's mansion. Like the design of No Takayama, Anyue Castle was also designed as an inner and outer pill.

As the main house of the family governor, Uchimaru is surrounded by a four-meter-high wall. It is divided into two places. After entering the mansion through the gate-like gate guarded by foot, the first thing you see is a large garden, where the garden is planted with various flowers and weeds. On the right side of the garden are dozens of brick-structured houses built along the wall. These houses are some warehouses of the lord's mansion and the residences of the people. On the left side of the garden is a corridor with wooden columns. You can walk along this corridor to the second gate of the lord's mansion.

This gate is also guarded by people. Generally speaking, the gatekeepers here are Zhengliang's little surname or apprentices from the Luo Family Temple.

After passing through the second gate, you will enter the second yard.

The area of ​​the second yard is much larger than the area of ​​the first yard in front. In the yard is a small lake, and in the pond is a wide wooden column pavilion. Two small Qiao made of burnt bricks lead to the middle of the lake. The small lake is surrounded by burnt bricks and guardrails and aisles. A natural spring is embedded in the rocks at one end of the lake, and there is also a pavilion built next to a big tree.

The garden is full of flowers, plants and trees. Various brick and tile structures are distributed in a scattered manner in the garden. A brick and wood structure corridor connects the rooms.

Zhengliang's living room is located in a two-story building with brick and wood structure on the highest hillside in the yard. Standing on the platform on the second floor, Zhengliang can see the situation near the foot of Anyuecheng Mountain.

Erwan is currently under renovation. According to the design, there are dozens of large warehouses on the right side of Erwan to store various materials, and there are also some military camps of soldiers guarding the city. On the left are offices, conference halls and other offices. Erwan's city walls are mainly stones and bricks as auxiliary structures, with a height of seven meters and three meters wide. Small mouths are made of on the city chop. They are mainly used to install cannons and facilitate iron cannons and arrows. The city gate is five meters high and four meters wide, and is made of copper and iron materials.

The entire residential city has underground waterways and are covered with burnt bricks and cement. Some domestic wastewater usually flows directly into the fields through these waterways. This structure is also commonly used in the houses of retainers outside the city. In addition, there are also some small ditches used to discharge rainwater. At the same time, most buildings use burnt bricks and cement, making the entire residential city look very neat and beautiful.

It can be said that in order to rebuild this residential city, all the craftsmen in the territory were almost dispatched.

In this rift, Masara was having fun with his wives and concubines in the garden. Xiao Tang Wanmaru was full of the moon in a blink of an eye. But he still liked to sleep so much. Every time Masararu planned to have a parent-child activity, this little guy was sleeping irrelevantly, which made Masararu not have the chance to tease his son. According to Kikuhi and others, his husband was very disagreeable with Xiao Tang Wangmaru.

While he was in love with his wives and concubines, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside. Masayoshi immediately sent someone to check what happened. Bukit, a little surnamed Murakami, came back soon to report. It turned out that when the altar project of the outer city square was built, the foundation could not be built, and no matter how many large stones were placed, it would still collapse. In order to make the project go smoothly, the craftsmen were discussing the use of the human pillar and were preparing to ask the city lord to approve the use of the human pillar. The leaders who received the news surrounded them one after another. Some people couldn't bear it, so they started a fuss.

Regarding the use of human pillars, it is said that in ancient times, when building difficult projects such as cities, bridges or dams, they buried living people underground or underwater in order to pray for successful completion.

After learning that the cruel method of using the human pillar was about to be used, Zhengliang immediately rushed to the project site.

I saw Zhengliang and his party come straight to a building altar. At this time, a large number of leaders and people gathered in front of them. There was also a man in strange clothes pointing to a young woman in white clothes and tied tightly to the stone pillars and saying something to everyone.

"Stop!" The originally kind smile on Zhengliang's face disappeared, replaced by anger and hideousness: "What are you doing?" How could Zhengliang, who came from later generations, tolerate such cruel things?

"Report to the Lord of the City" The craftsman in charge of the project saw that the Lord of the City came in person, and immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "The altar was unable to lay the foundation for a long time, because the gods below were asking for tributes. According to the old rules, a girl must be presented to the gods, tied her to a stone pillar and buried under the foundation of the city to get permission from the gods. Otherwise, the altar would not be built. The grass people were preparing to ask the city lord to use the human pillar, and the little girl was voluntarily becoming the tribute to the pillars."

After hearing the man's words, Zhengliang lifted the hem of his clothes and came to the foundation. He saw that the girl tied to the pillar was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and long hair hanging down to her slender waist.

More and more people were watching, and everyone thought that this little girl was dead because this was a tradition passed down since ancient times: once a city or altar foundation was built, a young girl must be presented to the gods underground.

"What's your name? Child?" Zhengliang asked this girl who seemed very calm.

The girl smiled when facing Masaru: "My name is Sakurako. A year ago, our family came to Feiqian and almost starved to death. If it weren't for your great kindness, we had settled in Matsuura County, and now we have moved here again and obtained a lot of land and beautiful houses. Our whole family would have starved to death long ago." The girl said here, among the onlookers, a woman who was obviously the mother of the girl couldn't help crying.

Zhengliang's voice was choked at this time: "Don't you feel hated when you were used as a sacrifice?"

Unexpectedly, the girl named Sakurako answered firmly: "In the past, our family saved their lives because of your help. I should be grateful. If the sacrifice is really useful, what can I regret?"

Zhengliang's eyes were dim after hearing this, and the vibrant aura seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

He took out a note from his arms and asked Bukit Murakami to bring him a brush. He wrote the four big words "Million One Heart" on it and handed it to the craftsman: "Let the people be the pillar of the people, this will be a great loss to the country. Protecting the people is the mission of the lord, and you cannot ignore the precious lives of the people! Please replace this woman as a sacrifice! Let her be released immediately!" As soon as he finished speaking, a few cloaks stepped forward to rescue the little girl.

Seeing the girl being rescued, the people on the spot immediately cheered and surround Zhengliang and kowtowed and thanked him.

"As a substitute, carve these words on stones and fill them in," Zhengliang continued.

So the craftsmen asked someone to carve these words on a stone and bury them under the stone wall. The size of this stone is about six feet long and two feet wide. The four words "Million One Heart" are written on the stone. However, if you look closely, the word "Bai" lacks a vertical stroke. It can be read as "one ri"; "Wan" uses a simple word, and deliberately separates it a little bit and writes it as "one force"; the word "heart" lacks a little bit. Zhengliang deliberately wrote it as "one ri, one force, one heart". Since "one" in the ri word means "same", "million One Heart" can be understood as being the same, one heart, and one heart. Everyone is united and unites strength, and no matter how difficult it is, it can be accomplished. The so-called "million One Heart" means this.

Shortly after the incident ended, another ri Masara and several people were inspecting the construction of the town in the town.

"Help! No!" At this moment, a woman's call for help came from behind a small wooden house in front. Zhengliang immediately walked over with his retainers.

I saw a guy in his teens and two subordinates pushing a girl into a dead corner, intending to do something beastly.

"Stop!" Zhengliang shouted loudly. Then he signaled his retainers to take down the three of them and rescue the civilian girl.

"Hmph! Do you know who I am?" The young man who was beaten up shouted, "I am the son of Shuangjiang in Nani."

Zheng Liangcai was too lazy to care about who this person was, so he directly sent these people into the cell and asked them to wait for the public security in Anyue City to help deal with it according to the laws of the territory. Then he continued to inspect.

Originally, Masayoshi's incident ended. In the evening, Yukisuke reported something to Masayoshi, which made Masayoshi very unhappy.

It turned out that the father of the young man I caught in the morning was indeed Nishi Shuangjiang. Nishi Shuangjiang was a Non-themed artist. Recently, he became a servant of Osai Kyuji who fell in love with Non-themed. This guy relied on his head as an important official of the Luo family and was usually very powerful. This led to his son being the same.

"Leave this person to Daxi Guozhi," Zhengliang said lightly. In the ordinary, Zhengliang's great anger was hidden.

Daxi Guozhi responded quickly. The second rimage, he personally interrogated the Nishi Shuangjiang and his son, who first slaved Nishi Shuangjiang, and the son of Nishi Shuangjiang was sentenced to five years of slave labor. After dealing with the matter between Nishi Shuangjiang and his son, Daxi Guozhi knelt in sweat and knelt outside the gate of the Zhengliang's convention hall where Zhengliang handled political affairs.

Zhengliang asked him to kneel outside for more than an hour before summoning him.

"Nani Shuangjiang will be demoted directly to the west of Songpu County. As a farmer, you can only serve as a farmer forever. Farm well," said Zhengliang. "His son's slave labor service period will be changed to ten years. Let him learn some principles of being a human being in the process of building roads."

"Yes, yes" Even though it was already December, Kyuji Osaki was still sweating all over and even his clothes were wet.

"You have been too busy recently, so it's like this. There are not too many things to do in material management recently. In the future, let's hand over the territory's material management matters to you. Your original position will be handed over to Yukisuke." Masayori finally punished Osaki Kyuji. As the minister responsible for monitoring the movements of the territory's army and retainers, such a thing happened in his home. Masayori could not tolerate this. So Masayori finally decided that Yukisuke was responsible for the Black Hawk's commander, responsible for monitoring the territory's retainers and troops, and carried out special tasks in wartime. However, Osaki Kyuri turned into warehouse material management and distribution, and was also implemented as the public security of Anyue City.

Yukisuke is a bit dangerous and deceitful, and he is only loyal to the government and all the other retainers do not sell their accounts, which is just right for the Black Hawk's command.

"Yes, yes" Daxi Kyuji's eyes were shattered.

"Do it well, and you will be useful." Zhengliang's final tone obviously relieved a lot. Zhengliang still attaches great importance to this old minister who has been with him since he started.

"Yes, Your Highness" felt the hope conveyed by Masayoshi, and Daxi Kyuji's eyes finally regained a little bit of spirit.

In this way, because of the domineering servants, Masarae changed the responsibilities of Yukisuke and Osaki Kyoji, and of course did not lower the position of Osaki Kyoji. He was still one of the only two generals of the Luo family.

After dealing with this matter, Masayoshi felt the crisis from the Osaki Kyuji. Is there such a situation in the families of other retainers? What is the implementation of the territory laws? Masayoshi had questions about this. So he appointed Aoyama Nobuo and the Ekawa Clan civil service, and followed the law. He took the token specially given by Masayoshi to be responsible for inspecting the territory everywhere, secretly inspecting the family situation of the retainers in various places and the implementation of the territory. Once an abnormality is found, he can use the token to request appropriate assistance from the standing team nearby, and then report to Masayoshi to the final punishment.

In this way, Aoyama Shinyuan and the Jekawa clan are equivalent to imperial envoys and imperial censors. They have the power to monitor the retainers and noble families, and have the right to report directly to Masayoro. Both of them monitor the retainers and noble families, and the responsibilities of the two are different from Black Hawk. Black Hawk's focus is whether the retainers and noble families have the intention to rebel, while the focus of the two is whether the retainers and noble families abide by the territorial laws and whether they act in accordance with the territorial laws.

When Zhengliang made up for the management loopholes in the territory due to this matter, Mu Zao Chongzhong, after obtaining Zhengliang's consent, promoted the two things Zhengliang dealt with in the territory, and portrayed Zhengliang as a great ruler who was benevolent and loved the people, destroyed relatives for justice and was fair and not harsh.

After knowing these two facts, the leaders of the Luo family's territory became more supportive of the political and good. After seeing the fate of the Daxi Kingdom, the retainers and wealthy families also strengthened their educational constraints on their families. The territory's security environment was greatly improved, and the leaders' people also lived and worked more peacefully.
