Chapter 671 Millionaires

In the 18th year of Astronomy (1549), late April, this was the second day when Masayoshi returned to Yoshiyama Castle, Matsuura-gun, Feiqianguo.

After having sex with Taijiu Ling for a night, Masayoshi hurried back to the meeting hall of the lord's mansion in the city this morning. Because there will be an assessment meeting here that has been notified in advance by Masayoshi. As for Taijiu Ling, he will move into the backyard of the mansion under the auspices of the housewife Kikuhime.

"What's the situation in Feihou Gulu City?" After everyone arrived, Zhengliang took the lead in asking. What he asked was actually the situation of Feihou Kingdom's prime minister, Chang Liang, who settled near the demolished ruins of Gulu City, and Xiang Liang was the father and son of the Qing Dynasty.

Last year, it was the father and son who secretly contacted the Otomo family and reported the fact that the Luo family actually occupied the southern part of the Himehou area to the Otomo family (and then asked the Otomo family to tell the Shimazu family about the news), and even invited the Otomo family to take over the local rule of the Luo family after the Himeko. After Masara surrendered to the Luo family in the palace, the Intelligence Pavilion immediately inspected the letters left by Yoshiko Yoshiko before discovering the plot of rebellion. So Masara immediately issued a punishment order against Kazuko Yoshiko and Kazuko for the Qing father and son.

"Report to the lord, Xiangliang, the father and son of Qing, have been sentenced to prison. All the male members of his tribe have been cut and killed, while the female relatives have been demoted to slaves. The territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial ter

The punishment means placing the prisoner in an oil pan, then ignite a fire under the oil pan, boiling the oil in the oil pan, and the prisoner in the oil pan is slowly boiled to death by the oil (when cooking the oil, it is not a hot oil pan, but a slowly increase the temperature). The scene is very cruel. However, in order to shock some people with ulterior motives, let everyone know the punishment they will suffer after the rebellion. Zhengliang finally gritted his teeth and set a punishment for Xiangliang Changwei, and Xiangliang set this punishment for the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, when he was executed, the two fathers and sons stood in the rolling oil pan, with their necks stretched out very long. While gritting their teeth and enduring the incomparable pain, they also had to see with their own eyes the males in their clan, whether old or young, were cut off their heads one by one. In this situation, it is said that even the laws that were responsible for supervising the on-site punishment at the time, the Jiangchuan Clan sect vomited on the spot.

"Hmph. This is the end of the plotter." Zhengliang said coldly after hearing the report. The retainers in the meeting hall also had different expressions, some cheered secretly, while others had a stern expression and secretly warned themselves in their hearts.

"Okay. Let's start today's assessment. Heiji, I'll leave it to you next." Masara personally ended the solemn atmosphere caused by the rebellion of Aoray Nagata and his son, and said with a smile.

"Yes, lord." Heiji Togo, who was sitting on the first place on the left, immediately bowed. Then he picked up an account book from the hand of Xiao's surname behind him, bowed to Masaru again, and then spoke loudly:

"Lord, after more than half a year of hard work, the family's population enrollment work and the local inspection work have finally ended. Here are the specific results."

As soon as Dongxiang Heiji said this, he had known about the content of today's assessment. Moreover, the retainers of the Interior Government Pavilion who also participated in the specific demographic statistics and local inspection work became proud. Other retainers who did not know the content of today's assessment were shocked and immediately listened with all concentration.

"Feiqianguo's income was 430,000 shi, with a population of 250,000, including 150,000 young and strong, and 60,000 children."

"Wow!" As soon as Heiji Togo finished speaking, the retainers in the meeting hall immediately started to discuss, especially those who had worked hard with Masara Matsuura County from the beginning. When they heard about the situation of the procuratorate and population of the country, they all cheered up.

Why are they so excited? A few years ago, when the Luo family just captured the Feiqian Kingdom (including Hirado Island and Goshima Region), the income of the entire Feiqian Kingdom was only about 310,000 stones. Now, the income has increased to 430,000 stones (because there are many mountains in the country, the income of the land has almost reached its limit. In the future, it will mainly rely on industry, commerce and improving agricultural technology to increase income). In terms of population, since Kyushu was an exiled place in the former imperial court, it was not large in population, and Feiqian was even a remote area in the Jiushu region. Therefore, the population of Feiqian at that time was less than 100,000, but now it has increased to 250,000. This has to make everyone excited.

However, Zhengliang knew very well why Feiqian State had such changes. All of this was because of the agricultural and civil laws implemented in the local area after the Luo family was in charge. In addition, the population was constantly migrating to Feiqian State, which naturally caused such a result. The increasing fields, the increasing transportation, the gradual enrichment of life, the improvement of medical standards, and the stable situation brought about by a strong country, on the one hand, promoted the development of local agriculture, economy, etc., and on the other hand, it also made some people without any original state.

Families that strive to raise more children can have more children, which has allowed the generation of children in the same era as the Luo family's founding period to grow rapidly into the young and strong generation, and more children are the generations that support the Luo family the most. After nearly ten years of development, agriculture, economy, population and rule, all aspects have formed a cycle in Feiqian. Now, Feiqian Kingdom has become a well-deserved agricultural, economic and political center in the Luo family's territory.

"In terms of Zhuhouguo, the income was 320,000 stones and the population was 150,000, including 90,000 young and strong, and 30,000 children."

Most of the areas of the Chiropunate Kingdom were ruled by the Luo family a little later than the Chiropunate Kingdom. After years of development and influenced by the radiation from the neighboring Chiropunate Kingdom, agriculture and economy have also developed greatly, and their territorial income has increased from 270,000 to 320,000 shi (of course, the areas where the Chiropunate family, Hoshino family, and Kusino family were located were only included in the rule of the Chiropunate family last year, so they naturally became the most backward area in the Chiropunate Kingdom. Since the most fertile Chiropunate coastal area in the Chiropunate Kingdom had not been completely developed, the Chiropunate Kingdom's income will increase in the future).

However, due to its status and position, the Chihou Kingdom has always been the main battlefield for the struggle between the Otomo family, the Ounai family, and even the rising Luo family. Therefore, the Chihou Kingdom has not had a large population. Although the population has also increased to a certain extent after a period of rest and the population migration of the Luo family, the population of the Luo family has also increased to a certain extent, the overall population is still relatively small.

"In the country of Feihou, the income was 330,000 stones and the population was 200,000, including 110,000 young and strong, and 40,000 children."

Feihou is the third area occupied by the Luo family. It has only been two or three years since its full occupation. The territory's income can increase from the original 310,000 shi (there is another 30,000 shi and the territory is occupied by the Xiangliang family and other wealthy families) to 330,000 shi (mainly because of the radiation influence of the Feiqian country that has been completely developed. Moreover, there are several fertile plains and basins in the country. As long as there is a little development, the income will naturally increase. This country still has great potential to explore in the future).

In terms of population, even though he had experienced several wars before, even after he was recuperating for a while, the population structure was mainly composed of the elderly and the young in the short term (many young and strong people died or were disabled in the war). This is also why Zhengliang focused his population migration on Feihouguo, and the purpose was to increase the local young and strong population so as to accelerate local development.

"In terms of the country in the previous country, the income was 150,000 stones. The population was 120,000, of which 80,000 were young and strong, and 20,000 were children."

According to Masayoshi's memory, historical records show that the total income of the Chumaki Country at this time was about 340,000 stones, but it was already very good that the Luo family could occupy 150,000 stones of the income (the main economic center of Hakata was burned, which greatly affected the economy of the Hakata region and reduced the income a lot). It is estimated that the Luo family occupied nearly half of the Chumaki Country at this time, and the largest population and the most fertile land was among the three plains of the Chumaki Country (the area of ​​the Chumaki Plain is almost the sum of the area of ​​the first two plains), and the Luo family occupied the Chumaki and Fukuoka Plain, which caused this result.

In recent years, the Chiaqian Kingdom has mainly experienced two battles between the Ouchi family and the Otomo family, the Luo family and the Otomo family coalition forces. Moreover, the main stations of the two battles were in the Feiqian and the Chiaqian countries, so their population was not greatly affected (although in the war last year, the main source of the Daiaqian army came from the Chiaqian Kingdom area, after the war, Masayoshi released these people back to settle in the local area). The population of half of the country was almost equivalent to the population of the Chiaqian country.

"In the Fenghou Kingdom, the income was 37 stones and the population was 210,000, including 120,000 young and strong, and 50,000 children."

According to historical records, the total income of Fenghou Kingdom was about 420,000 stones, and at this time the income of the territory occupied by the Luo family was about 370,000 stones, so the remaining land income occupied by the Otomo family was about 50,000 stones. It is estimated that the main source of income was the plains in the Guodong County.

The population of Fenghou is a bit abnormal. It can be seen that the proportion of young and strong children is relatively small, and the total population is not much relative to the total income of Fenghouhou. This is mainly caused by the continuous wars of the Otomo family in the past decade. Over the past decade, the Otomo family has had fierce wars with the Otomo family, the Ito family, the four-country family and even the current Luo family, which naturally led to a change in the population ratio.

"In Hinata, the income is 600 stones and the population is 300."

In the Hinata country, the Luo family only occupied Zhongshan City in its border area. Although it seemed to almost monopolize the territory in the northwest corner of Hinata, most of the areas there were mountains and the land that could be cultivated was really limited. Therefore, this is just a strategic point of the Luo family for the Hinata country. As for the land and population, it can be almost negligible.

In general, at this time, the power of the Luo family had completely occupied Feiqian Kingdom. The power of the Chuhou Kingdom almost occupied the entire territory of Feiqian Kingdom. The Fenghou Kingdom was also occupied by more than half of the territory, while the Chuhou Kingdom occupied half of the territory. At the same time, it also secretly extended its tentacles into the northwest corner of the Hinata Kingdom. The power can be said to have directly affected the six countries in the Kyushu area.

The total income of the territory (including all income from agriculture, commerce, minerals, etc.) has reached 1.6 million stones, and the population is 930,000 (including 550,000 young and strong, and more than 200,000 children). The Luo family is already a veritable name for million stones.

Of course, if you calculate carefully, Zhengliang cannot be proud of this.

In the case of the overall mobilization of the Luo family's territory, if the proportion of recruitment of one to one in the normal situation is calculated based on the normal recruitment ratio of one to one in ten, and then the women in it are deducted, the Luo family can only organize an army of nearly 50,000 people (including more than 8,000 people in the Luo family).

Of course, if calculated according to the wartime mobilization method of the wealthy families in other regions, it will be based on the ratio of three draws and one (some wealthy families will even have soldiers, and even the elderly, women and children will participate in the war). The Luo family can organize an army of 100,000 people (of course, it is not that the world will be invincible with a 100,000 army. If you want to fight, you must also consider various factors such as logistical support, geographical influence, military organization, etc., unlike playing games, you can just send a general to lead the army to the enemy's territory and just push it). But this is really tyranny, unless it is the time of the family's life and death, Zhengliang will definitely not do this.

Even Zhengliang believed that without affecting the development of the territory, the recruitment and extraction ratio of 20 draws is the most reasonable. Then the Luo family could only bring out an army of nearly 20,000 people.

Moreover, in addition to the Feiqian country that has entered the normal development, the population ratio of areas such as Fenghou and Feihou is still very unbalanced. If Masayoshi does not want to be dragged down by such problems (such as insufficient military sources lead to the inability to recruit soldiers, and a decrease in population leads to a decrease in territorial income), then we must consider how to promote the adjustment of population ratio and regional development in these areas.

Therefore, even if it becomes a hegemonic Warring States famous with a revenue of 1.6 million stones and a population of nearly one million, Zhengliang has a long way to go!
