In this era, due to underdeveloped agricultural technology and limited crop types, the grain output of ordinary powerful territories is not high. If the Luo family had not vigorously promoted the Shengua and improved the farming technology of the territorial people, it would have been estimated that the current land alone would not be able to afford more than 900,000 people.

Especially rice, because the conditions for planting are many (at least they have to be planted in relatively fertile paddy fields. After waiting for rice ears, people have to be sent to prevent birds and mice from eating them. If pests are flooded, they will basically give up this rice field), so its yield is even lower. Even if it is harvested smoothly, it will still be collected by the local lords and tycoons as strategic materials. As a result, they can't even eat a bite of rice after working hard all year round.

In order not to starve to death, the leaders of the people had to go to sea to catch seafood and dig wild vegetables in addition to eating mixed grains and eating dried radishes. It is strange to say that the local culture prohibited eating the meat of animals with four legs (it is said to be the "Meat Ban Order" issued by the Emperor, saying that according to Buddhism, what you eat will change, and eating meat will fall into the animal realm. For everyone's good, don't eat the meat of animals with four legs. In addition, the promotion of temples and shrines, the people of the people are generally ignorant. Over time, the people of the people will not eat meat), but they are not prohibited from eating fish. But even if you can eat fish, you must be able to catch fish! With the fishing technology of this era, it is definitely impossible to rely on fishing to fill your stomach.

After the Luo family came to power, they launched a movement to encircle lakes and even cut rivers in the territory, mainly by using lakes and rivers to create some ponds, and then started raising fish. At present, there are hundreds of ponds in the territory of Feiqianguo alone. The fish in these ponds greatly enriched the dining tables of the leaders and improved the physical fitness of the leaders to a certain extent.

Of course, in order to comprehensively improve the physical fitness of the people, provide a better source of troops for the territory's military power, and provide a stronger leader for the territory's construction, the most important thing is to comprehensively change the people's eating habits. Here we mainly start from expanding the scope of the people's meat eating and changing from two meals to three meals.

The problem of changing the habit of eating two meals a day to three meals can only be promoted among the military and officials, but in the short term, it cannot be promoted among the general leaders. After all, the reason why leaders only eat breakfast and dinner every day is because there is not much food. As long as they live a wealthy life, this problem will naturally be solved.

As for meat eating, it is currently the first to promote among the military and officials. At the same time, it also relies on private institutions such as food houses to gradually promote it to ordinary leaders (in fact, the leaders who visit food houses in various places are basically concentrated in dishes such as sake, rice soup, dried radish, roasted corn, roasted melon, and steamed fish. As for other meat dishes, few leaders will take the initiative to order them).

In order to ensure sufficient food supply, the plan to promote the plan must rely on the large number of large slave farms in the Luo family territory. The last stop of Zhengliang's inspection in the territory this time was this farm.

After spending a night in the village of Nakamoto-sen, Masara set out on a journey to a slave farm at the foot of the Takayama Mountain in Matsuura-gun, accompanied by a group of 100 cloaks, 400 regular samurai ranks, and several retainers such as Heiji Togo.

The vast army attracted the attention of the local leaders along the way. When they learned that the commander of the army was their famous lord, the leaders came to the only way of the army to welcome him. Among the crowd, Zhengliang even saw many Ming immigrants wearing Ming costumes.

The army marched forward all the way and arrived at the port of Imali Bay at the morning. Then they boarded dozens of ships of the second permanent naval army that had been waiting here for a long time, and then began to head towards the Matsuura Peninsula.

Most of the sailors on these ships were temporarily recruited fishermen. At present, the Luo family has hundreds of ships. It is definitely impossible to drive all ships by relying on a regular naval army of more than 2,000 people. Therefore, in addition to being permanent, each naval army team will also regularly recruit a group of fishermen (equivalent to the reserve naval army) in the local area as temporary sailors after approval from the Military Pavilion, the Internal Affairs Pavilion and Zhengliang.

After obtaining Masayoro's permission, the navy ships finally set sail into the bay. The fleet sailed along the land coast, passing through Takashima, Fukushima and Hirado Port respectively.

On Hirado Island, opposite Hirado Port, Masara stayed for a while. Mainly to inspect the situation on the island. After years of transformation of the Interior Pavilion, this island has become an important commercial port in the southern part of Kyushu. A large number of smuggling merchants from all over the country, and even Ming Dynasty, the ships of the merchants of the South Barbarians stayed here and then traded on the island. Masarara walked around the island casually and found that the streets here were clean. From time to time, they would encounter guards composed of peasants and soldiers patrolling the streets, and there were a well-organized scene everywhere. Masara was quite satisfied with this.

After a brief pause on Hirado Island and having lunch, Masara boarded the ship again and began to head for the final destination. Shortly after going to sea, the fleet soon encountered a sea patrol team of five passers-by and twenty Xiaozao. After learning from the flag between the two fleets that Masara was on the ship, the patrol fleet immediately set up a long snake formation across the sea on the sea, and all the crew stood by the ship to salute the ship where Masara was. Being able to accept the inspection of our family at sea is their greatest honor and it is also a major event they can brag about after returning to the naval base.

After some bumpy ride on the sea, the fleet finally landed on the dock of Banwu Bay.

"Meet the lord." The retainers who had been waiting on the dock for a long time immediately saluted after seeing Zhengliang get off the ship. This time, because there were some agricultural-related matters to be arranged, Zhengliang promoted some of the internal affairs cabinet and the capable people in charge of the farming to gather here in advance.

As the first Banwuwan Wharf in the Luo Family territory, it has become a commercial wharf for the Luo Family. Every day, a large number of Luo Family merchant ships load and load cargo from here. Among them, the most are merchant ships transporting sea salt and snow salt. This is mainly because the first salt drying field of the Luo Family and the only snow salt workshop are near this wharf. After development in recent years, the salt farm and snow salt workshop near the dock have expanded by two or three times, and these two workshops have also become the main livelihood workshops for local residents.

After meeting with the retainers who came to greet him, Masara began to go to the Yetaka Mountains with everyone. At this time, the leaders along the road had already learned about Masara's arrival, and they all threw down their work to both sides of the marching road. This area is the area where the Luo family made their fortunes, so almost all the leaders here are loyal to the Luo family. Compared with those in the Imali Plain who were purely here to join in the fun and watch monkeys, the leaders here welcomed Masara from the bottom of their hearts, and some of them had even knelt on the ground and knelt down to Masara (in their eyes, Masara was the real incarnation of Hachimanta Bodhisattva).

As more and more people were used to lead the people, some even fanatically attempted to approach Masayoshi, which led to the cloaks responsible for protecting Masayoshi and the samurai team that had to come to the marching avenue to form a wall of human beings to prevent the leaders from getting closer. They even informed the recruit training camp at the foot of the Yetaka Mountain to lead the reserve peasant soldiers to maintain order.

Zhengliang's horse was temporarily fighting from the wild mountain ranch, waving to the leaders on both sides of the road, but he felt like returning home in glory. This is really his home.

As the place where the Luo family made its fortune, the changes here are the biggest. Along the way, Zhengliang saw many things that made him feel relieved. For example:

The marching cement road leading to five war horses at the same time; the road is lined with cotton, cherry blossoms and other trees. A little further away is a large area of ​​fertile farmland. In the farmland, Zhengliang saw sweet potatoes (also called Shengua or Zhengliang melon by the people), corn and other unique crops of the Luo family.
