Chapter 704: Internal Affairs of the Territory

It is easy to get along with the people. As long as you let them see the benefits, no matter what decisions you make in the future, they will follow your footsteps firmly.

In Japan, brick-shaped houses are usually only commonly seen in temples (mostly the temples are brick-shaped, and the space inside is very large. The wooden floors of monks are all hanging buildings far away from the ground, and the rooms of monks such as the abbot are even covered with tatami). Now, around the Yegao Mountains in Matsuura County, Kyushu, there are a large number of brick-shaped houses. This is indeed rare in Japan, where mud and wooden houses are mainly made of mud and timber houses.

After nearly ten years of development, this place has become the richest area in the Luo Family territory (because it benefited early, it naturally developed faster than other areas), so it is also the first area to build houses into more solid and beautiful brick and tile structures.

It is precisely because of the previous attempts that this is also the smoothest place for the Luo family to implement new measures. So on the way forward, Zhengliang not only saw the crops such as divine melons and corn, but also saw two new things that were preparing to be fully implemented in the territory.

One of them is the pigpen. Next to the houses of some leaders, Zhengliang actually found some pigpens. In other words, these leaders were already raising pigs. These pigs were naturally from the slave farm located at the foot of the wild mountain of the Luo family.

When he made his fortune in the Luo family, Zhengliang led some of the leaders to the forest and brought a nest of wild boars that had long harassed the village fields. While killing the big wild boars, he also harvested several small wild boars. Zhengliang raised these small wild boars in the pigpen at that time. Since then, the leaders have successively caught the small wild boars and put them in the pigpen (at that time, due to culture and food and clothing, no leaders were willing to raise these small wild boars alone). After nearly ten years of development, the pigpen has developed into a pig farm with more than 150 pigs.

The piglets born one after another were also domesticated into domestic pigs, and then diverted to slave farms throughout the territory to establish new pig farms. Some of the piglets were sold to them as domestic pigs at the request of local residents in the wild high mountains.

These domestic pigs are from treasures. In addition to waiting for these piglets to be sold back to the Luo Family Home Office after they grow up, the most important thing is that they can use the pig manure of these pigs as fertilizer to increase the fertility of the fields. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone, so they are very popular among the people.

In addition to the pigpen, Zhengliang also saw vegetable gardens and mulberry trees on the pond foundations of some fish ponds. This is the mulberry fish pond planting method that has been implemented in the Luo Family slave farm. Unexpectedly, the leaders here have begun to imitate planting.

Especially mulberry trees. Currently, in the territory of the Luo family, only textile workshops near Anyueshan City and slave farms everywhere in the territory are planting this crop. As for other places, due to concerns that the people in the throne will not be able to accept this new crop for a while and lack planting technology, the people in the throne have not yet begun to promote the popularization of mulberry trees, but the people in the throne here have become the first to eat crabs.

The team moved forward all the way and soon arrived outside Notaka Town at the foot of Notaka Mountain. As the former daimyo residence of the Luo family and the origin of the Luo family, the prosperity here is definitely not inferior to the castle town at the Kishigao Mountain Castle.

Before the residence of Masayoshi General moved to Anyue Mountain City, the renovation began. After the renovation, the town was divided into two by a marching avenue running through the north and south. On the west is a commercial street, on the east are residential houses and some official institutions of the Luo family.

Since this is the distribution center for the Luo Family's snow salt trading, and it is also the most prosperous area in the country in Luo Family's Feiqian, Zhengliang saw various shopping malls such as the Divine House and Luo Family's house in the commercial streets. He even found dozens of shopping malls independently opened by the people. The ability to concentrate such a large number of shopping malls in one place is already the place with the most shopping malls that Zhengliang has seen since his inspection.

On this side of the commercial street, Masara also saw a market with an area of ​​more than ten acres. At this time, the market was crowded with people, and a large number of leaders who heard about the Daming of the Luo family came to inspect came out to watch. Seeing the crowd passing by, Masarara felt like she was visiting Sakaicho.

On the east side of the town are houses and some official institutions of the Luo Family. There are several institutions that are famous in the Luo Family territory and attract a large number of leaders from all over the country to visit each year.

The recruiting station is a regular organization for the Luo family to recruit reserves. Almost every day, the recruiting station (including the ronin samurai) comes to register, and the recruiting station is responsible for registering the information of the registered recruiting people and conducting corresponding tests. The test content mainly includes basic movements of daily training of farmers and soldiers such as holding stones, dancing swords and guns, shooting archery, long-distance running, queue drills (the rule of the Luo family territorial regulations stipulate that each town and village is responsible for the training of farmers and scouts. There must be at least four days a month for concentrated training of farmers and scouts. These farmers and scouts can be said to be the lowest-level soldiers of the Luo family, and the soldiers recruited by the recruiting station are the second-level reserve soldiers of the Luo family. They will regularly receive free training for food and accommodation. Whenever the Luo family enters the war mobilization stage, these reserve soldiers must be recruited for battle first. The third-level soldiers are the permanent soldiers).

Although there are many test items, basically as long as one of the leaders who participated in the test is outstanding, they will be hired. The selected people will then be concentrated in the recruit battalions in the wild mountains and forests for training.

Similar to such recruiting stations, there are dozens of places in Feiqian Kingdom, Zhuhou Kingdom, and Feihou Kingdom, which transports a large number of qualified reserve troops to the Luo family's army every year. In the next step, Zhengliang is preparing to lay such institutions in Fengqian Kingdom and Zhuhou Kingdom.

Similar to the functions of the recruiting station, there are also the quests in the choir. These quests are specially used to recruit talents with skills in civil affairs, farming, craftsmen and other professions. After passing the special test, the information of these talents will be registered, and then those talents with specialized expertise in civil affairs and farming will be sent to some small villages to try their talents. During the probation period, specialized personnel will follow the probation status of these talents. After the probation period, the Inner Affairs Bureau will decide whether the person will stay or not. As the people who will eventually stay, they will still be stationed at the grassroots level in various places to serve, but they will regularly organize training to strengthen their expertise.

Although there are still many imperfections in this process, such measures have been pioneered in this era. It is precisely through this method that accumulating a large number of grassroots personnel for the Luo family. These people will gradually replace the role of the lord and noble family, and slowly penetrate into various parts of the Luo family to form the Luo family's unique management network.

The remaining craftsmen will be handed over to iron and wood workshops on the Yegao Mountain for further arrangements.

The canyon on Yegao Mountain, which was once the residence of Zhengliang, has now become the main camp of iron and wooden workshops. There are a large number of craftsmen and family members living there. However, Zhengliang's mansion is still preserved and has always been responsible for the management. Zhengliang will bring his wives, concubines and children here to relax in his spare time.

For these craftsmen recruited from the pursuit, as the chief workshops that manage all the private iron and wood workshops in the Luo Family Territory, there is also a strict trial process. In short, if it were not for Zhengliang's direct promotion, the newly recruited craftsmen would have worked outside the chief workshop for at least three years before they could get into some of the secret techniques of the Luo Family.

In the mountains and forests near the General Workshop, it is currently the only recruit training camp for the Luo family. This recruit training camp is mainly responsible for training the Luo family's regular reserve recruits. It is precisely because of such an important task that hundreds of instructors in it have retired from the permanent army for various reasons.

As the reserve service of the Luo family, they enjoy the treatment of free training for the Luo family for regular food, accommodation and other free training, as well as the treatment of their family's status level being improved because of their reservist (the laws and regulations of the Luo family stipulate that after becoming the Luo family's military power, the status level of their family members will also be increased. They will enjoy lower taxes and military pensions, etc.), and they also need to pay the following prices:

First, after receiving the mobilization order of the Luo family, they must unconditionally arrive at the assembly site within the prescribed time limit and then go to the war with the army (these are the main sources of the peasant soldiers during each battle between the Luo family).

Second, we regularly participate in at least twice a year in the territorial border guard tasks and other tasks, with training camp instructors as the head general. This is also the main source of peasants and soldiers in the regular ranks of various places.

Third, you can participate in the training of the recruit training camp for at least half a month.

Compared with the peasant soldiers who usually lead the village head to train for four days next month, these reserve peasant soldiers have higher physical fitness, longer training time (basically semi-productive), and higher training quality. They are also the main source of soldiers for the Luo Family's war and an important source of soldiers to supplement the damage of each team. In the future, when the Luo Family Academy in Feiqian Kingdom is officially opened, this recruit training camp will also become a branch of the Luo Family Academy Military Academy.

Now there is a full-time training camp for training reserves. Next, Zhengliang is preparing to establish another naval army reserve training camp. The location has been decided, which is in Tangjin Bay.

At present, among the Luo family's naval army, sailors and ordinary peasants are temporarily recruited from the coastal fishermen. Although these fishermen will also conduct water and land training for four days a month under the leadership of the village head, their combat power is still uneven and their personnel may not be all credible. After all, the navy is different from the army. Once the ship is carefully controlled by the enemy during wartime, at least one warship will be lost, which will cause greater losses. Therefore, Zhengliang had the idea of ​​establishing a naval recruit training camp.

Of course, in the wild Tak Mountain, in addition to the recruit training camp, there is also a war horse training camp. That is the only ranch in the Luo family at present.

This pasture is located in the woods between Yegao Mountains and Zhanggao Mountains. In the woods, there is a lake formed by streams gathering among the forests, and the lake is surrounded by a flat grassland. In the past, it was a habitat for a group of wild horses, but later it was discovered by the Luo family, and it was transformed into a pasture. Since then, the horses seized and purchased by the Luo family from all over the country will be concentrated here.

After screening these horses, some horses suitable for war horses will continue to be trained until they become qualified war horses. They will serve as mounts of the Luo family's regular cavalry. Since they are treasured war horses of the Luo family, their treatment is naturally good. The daily food used for them is good. Even the stables they live in are in the best environment and there are dedicated people to take care of them.

The other part of horses that are not suitable for war horses will be trained as pack horses responsible for transporting materials, as well as communication horses for commanders and reconnaissance riding. For reasons of saving materials, their treatment is relatively poor, but at least they will ensure that they can eat enough. After all, every horse is a valuable resource for the Luo family.
