In addition to the country's income, population, number of troops and other factors, there is another point in measuring the country's military status.

While inspecting these weapons workshops and fireworks workshops, Masayoshi also recalled the report on the territory's arms situation that he saw a few days ago.

First of all, there is the situation of military rations. At present, even if the 80,000 s of grain seized from the temples and shrines of the Chuqian Kingdom before, the grain left in the territory warehouse is less than 200,000 s. The 200,000 s of grain seems to be a lot, right? Let’s take a look at the daily consumption of the Luo family.

Currently, there are 8,300 people in the Luo family; more than 10,000 retainers from various institutions, including from the elders to the grassroots village heads; more than 5,000 peasant soldiers were temporarily recruited; there were hundreds of people in the Zhengliang mansion, including the wife of the official wife, Juji, and the servants in the mansion. The daily food consumed by the above people is very amazing (according to the laws of the Luo family, as one of the benefits, the food of these people at work is the responsibility of the territory), and some of the salary of these people must be paid every month (the Luo family uses a combination of territorial income and salary to pay the salary of these people).

In addition, although the land reclamation and construction of the marching avenues carried out by the Territory Slave Brigade did not need to pay these slaves during the period, they needed to provide them with food equivalent to their labor. The general hierarchy of the Territory also needed to pay them a certain amount of compensation after participating in the corvee service organized by the local Interior Cabinet. Finally, there are those working workshop workers, who also need to consume food every day and pay salaries every month.

At the same time, Kinisha Masato of Toyoko was leading his team to fight against the Otoko family's army in Befutan, Sumi County; Nobuyuki Nobuyuki and Komoto Tada were leading three hundred standing soldiers and five hundred peasant soldiers. The commanding heights of Takahira Mountain at the junction of Takahira Bay and Sabuki Bay in Hitoko, confronting the Sabuki family's army. The second cavalry standing team led by Takasaka Masato was also cooperating with the Inner Government Cabinet to rectify the local temple shrine forces in Toyoko country; Honta Toshimasato and Honta Masato, father and son, led a thousand peasant soldiers to siege Takagi Takagi in the Honta Shiga family in the Quebe. Akaba Nobuyuki Nobusuke of Takagi was also leading the military force of Takagi Takagi in the north to approach Ouchiko's Sosato County to put pressure on the Ouchiko. The above-mentioned military actions also require food consumption.

Some people may have questions. Since such a system will consume so much money and food, then give up and restore the local retainers and tycoons to directly manage their territory, and they will be responsible for the consumption of their military power. Daming is only responsible for assigning tasks to them and then collecting annual tribute. Isn’t such a system better?

This actually reflects the two sides of a system. With the current system of the Luo family, it is through this way that the interests of retainers, soldiers, workers, and leaders of the Luo family can be tied to the Luo family. These groups can only gain benefits by relying on the Luo family. The collateral impact brought by this is reflected here. Such a system will greatly consume the wealth controlled by Daming, and at the same time bring challenges to Daming's management of the territory.

The Luo family now holds all the wealth and resources in their hands, and then redistributes wealth resources in a way that everyone can accept. The Luo family is the distributor and manager of wealth resources. Now, the Daming people in other regions of the Warring States Period divide most of the control and ownership of the wealth resources in their hands to various retainers and noble families, and then they will provide for the Daming together. Because Daming lacks direct control over these divided wealth resources, once these retainers and noble families become stronger, there will be a danger of no longer willing to offer to Daming or even replace the Daming position. Although this method saves the trouble of management, it is likely to lead to its own demise.

Therefore, with the current grain reserves, it can only maintain the daily operation of the territory until this year's autumn harvest. However, once wars start with neighboring countries during this period, it is difficult to say.

Of course, at this time, the temple shrine forces in Fenghou Kingdom were undergoing rectification by the Luo family. It is said that some temple shrines have begun to resist due to dissatisfaction. Now Masara hopes that the local temple shrine forces will rise up and resist, so the Luo family can take the opportunity to sweep these temple shrines. With the reference of the Chimae Kingdom, Masara is very sure that Fenghou's temple shrine forces are also rich, and after plundering them, they just happen to add the grain of the Luo family.

In terms of coins, the reserved gold in the Luo family's warehouse is now worth more than 42,000 taels, silver is worth more than 3,500 taels, and copper coins are worth 80,000 jin. These coins are mainly used to trade with the Southern Barbarians, Ming people and merchants outside the Luo family's territory.

In terms of weapons, in addition to the weapons and equipment currently equipped by the 8,300 regular and more than 5,000 peasant soldiers of the Luo family, the Luo family's warehouse at this time also had:

In terms of spears, there can be equipped with ten regular football teams. A regular team has a total of 600 people, including 350 spears and 250 bows and archers. Therefore, at this time, the Luo family reserved 3,500 spear heads (the wooden poles will be installed before being sent to the military force for use).

In terms of bow-shaped bows, six regular archers can be equipped with, and each team has 250 bow-shaped archers, a total of 1,500 bow-shaped archers. At this time, the Luo family has eliminated the local bamboo bows and Maruki bows, which have relatively poor power and range (the eliminated bows and arrows will become the weapons of temporary recruitment of peasants and territorial scouts), and instead use the bow-shaped archers with greater power and longer range as the main combat weapons. However, since the materials of this type of bow and arrow are difficult to obtain and more complex to make, while ensuring the needs of the active service, it is already quite good to reserve the number of three regular archers that can be equipped with. In addition, there are also 50,000 bundles of forged feather arrows (each bundle of twenty-five feather arrows), a total of nearly 250,000 feather arrows.
