In the meeting hall, the retainers looked through the rules and regulations in their hands carefully, and were sometimes amazed and frowned. Fortunately, the few retainers now have received a certain degree of education and can at least recognize words, which reduces the trouble of many political and good analyses.

"Your Highness, my family's agricultural tax may arouse hostility from other powerful people around me, and the Hozi family and the Hodo family will not sit idly by," said Heiji Togo without worry.

"Heiji, we will implement the law of blocking the territory and unify the external claim that we are using the agricultural tax of the Hachigong and the other rural areas. If it is really leaked, even if the territory can only be entered or left, even if other powerful people are suspicious, it will not be confirmed. Besides, as long as we are given enough time, the strength of the territory will sooner or later be strong enough to make other powerful people dare not move lightly," Zhengliang said confidently. Other retainers also acted as if they were taken for granted. In less than a month, they would solve the bandits that had troubled the territory for many years. It can be said that the future of our family is bright.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have been fortunate to understand the laws of the Samurai clan in the post of the Virgin. Although the laws of the Samurai clan are more detailed, the laws of our family are more in line with the actual territory and have far-reaching thoughts. Some laws and regulations are not even able to fully understand their profound role for a while. Your nobleman's idea is really admirable to me." The Great Western Kingdom of Heaven said, "Everyone agreed. Everyone agreed.

"Then, everyone, this law will be officially implemented from tomorrow. Please ask you for the specific matters. Heiji, copy a few more copies and distribute them. As for the relief location, please set it in front of the gate of my mansion, and summarize it at Dongxiang Kuzu. She will be responsible for the registration, and Matsumiko will be responsible for the verification and implementation." Seeing that everyone unified their opinions, Masayora continued, "At the same time, find a suitable candidate to be the village head of the village to assist in managing daily affairs."

"Yes, Your Highness" everyone has no objection to this arrangement. As the lord's wife, it is normal for Togo Kiku to assist the lord in managing the territory, while Matsumiko has long been recognized as the lord's concubine. Judging from the task arrangement just now, she is also very favored by the lord.

"In addition, in order to cooperate with the implementation of this law, it was announced to the hierarchy that all hierarchy in the territory are automatically converted to hierarchy level 3 and enjoy the agricultural tax of six public and four rural areas," Zhengliang continued.

"Your Highness, will this affect the tax revenue of the territory? Even if the total harvest of the territory is added up, it cannot meet the needs of maintaining the team of football light?" Osashi Kyuji said with a frown, obviously deeply worried about this situation of not being able to make ends meet.

"Well, so you must speed up the recruitment of refugees, strive to reclaim more fields and sow grain before mid-May. Although it is a bit late, at least it can produce some harvest in the autumn harvest." In fact, Zhengliang is not worried about grain problems at all. At present, the planting area of ​​sweet potatoes has been expanded to nearly one acre. After mid-May, sweet potatoes will also be vigorously promoted. Anyway, sweet potatoes can be harvested by November, but the yield is slightly lower, but cooking with mixed grains can also solve the grain problem.

"At present, our family has a total of 40 samurai. According to my agreement last time, we will soon be promoted to our samurai. At the same time, our family will be preparing to recruit 200 samurai from the new samurai. What do you think about this?" After the question of territorial laws was confirmed, Masayoshi immediately raised the issue of territorial military power.

"It turns out that the 40 footprints in the territory have already occupied four-fifths of the young and strong men in the territory. This time, we recruit new footprints. Please consider the needs of territory construction." Donggo Heiji said, "According to the draw ratio of nearby tyrants, it is generally between five draws and one draw, but excessive draws of the captains as footprints will greatly affect the development of the territory's agricultural work."

Five draws one. According to the original plan, if 200 squads need to be recruited, at least 1,000 young and strong men will have to be recruited. With the family of these males, it is conservatively estimated that the territory will also recruit about 3,000 people. Not to mention whether so many people can be recruited. Even if it is really recruited, it seems that it will be difficult for these refugees who do not have much grain to support the autumn harvest by relying on the remaining 2,000 stones of grain. Zhengliang's plan is to recruit approximately hundreds of refugees in this recruitment, and then draw most of the males from it to form a new squad. It seems that this approach is equivalent to three draws one or even two draws one, which will indeed greatly affect other work in the territory.

Yukisuke, who was standing beside him, frowned and thought hard, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, you can consider reducing the salary of samurai and samurai, and at the same time, reducing the number of samurai, and not taking the samurai, allowing them to have more time to farm. There are not many samurai and samurai in the nearby territories. The Donoya in the southwest has two castle rocks, with only about 50 samurai, and there are no samurai. The Tahara family in the east has only more than 20 samurai, and there are no samurai."

"No, last year the bandits invaded the Donoya family, but the Donoya family organized a team of nearly 400 people to drive the bandits away," said Osai Koji.

"Most of them are temporary recruitment of ronin and mobilized and gathered territorial peasants," said Togo Heiji, "Your Highness, we can consider using this method."

"No, peasant soldiers usually concentrate once every five to seven days, and then train for half a day. The combat effectiveness is low, which is much worse than the monks in the temple. The ronin is a team that is temporarily gathered together, and the discipline is very poor. Once there is spoilage, he will ignore the situation on the battlefield and only care about robberies." Tadajiro, who has not spoken, suddenly said, "I have carefully studied Your Highness's team. In fact, the single combat power is not high, but he pays great attention to discipline. If you fight with the team, it is difficult to achieve the effect required by Your Highness according to the training method of peasant soldiers."

"Under the current territory's conditions, peasants and soldiers are the most suitable for the needs. Maintaining 40 samurai as a standing position is enough to deter surrounding powerful men and bandits. If you wait for the territory to survive this autumn harvest, you can consider expanding the territory and keeping it lightly," said Heiji Togo.

Everyone started to talk.

Zhengliang raised his hand to calm everyone down.

"Everyone, my family has no prominent reputation, and even the name of the family is not familiar to other powerful people, but it occupies a land of many paddy fields. If you were to find such a neighbor next to you, what would you do?" Zhengliang slowly raised his head and looked at the retainers below. "Everyone would know that they would try every means to annex us. So before other powerful people and bandits discovered us, they should first hit the guys who had ambitions, hurt them once or twice, or even annex them, and tell them with their actions that our family is not easy to deal with, so that we can cultivate and survive. The new and light resolution cannot be changed."
