The next morning, 100 stones of old grains were divided into more than 20 chunks, and more than 20 villagers found by Taro Hirasa were carried. Hiraji Togo and the foot brought were carrying five iron spears, and at the same time, they also brought fishing nets and some small farm tools purchased with the remaining hundreds of coins of copper. After packing up, everyone crossed the river under Taro Hirasasa and finally disappeared at the end of the woods on the other side of the river.

After half a day of long journey, there was nothing wrong with the whole journey. The group finally arrived at the edge of the woods. It was about to reach the territory, but at this time, more than 20 villagers responsible for carrying the food said that they would not go forward any further. The reason was very simple. In order to prevent the "sponsorship" incident from being discovered by their father, Kijiro Dono last night asked someone to spread rumors that bandits were attacking Komaki Village in his territory overnight. His idea was very simple. Once the matter was revealed, he would also use this rumor as a loan for "sponsorship".

Now these villagers heard that the territory in front was being attacked by bandits, and they were willing to move forward? If they accidentally encountered bandits, their lives might be out of order. In the morning, if Lord Pingzuo had not given a high wage and had also given a death order, they would have to transport the grain, saying that the villagers would not come to transport the grain. So, no matter how Heiji Dongxiang ensured the safety ahead, more than 20 villagers still put down twenty loads of grain, turned around and ran back as if they ran back.

Looking at the villagers running back on the trail, Heiji Dongxiang felt quite helpless and funny, and thought to himself that it seemed that Xiaomu Village had become a place that made people feel scared. In the end, he had to arrange for his accompanying Zuqing to guard the food, and he rushed back to Xiaomu Village to find someone to transport the food.

.............

At this time, Luo Zhengliang in the territory was also busy accepting the nearby filthy people who were seeking over.

A team of nearly 70 people walked along the foot of the Yetaka Mountain with various objects to walk towards the territory. In order to prevent the attack of the bandits, Masara Luo sent all the spears in the territory (10 in total, originally 11, one of which followed Dongxiang Heiji to buy grain). He led the Tsuda Hirozo to pick up the territory, and he personally guarded the checkpoint at the intersection facing the Yetaka Mountain to guard the attack. Fortunately, until the last new leader walked through the checkpoint, he did not see any bandits.

When the new lords learned that the adult who was standing at the intersection to greet them and looked quite young, they were all excited. They were all despised by the lords before. This was the first time they saw respect for them in a noble lord who was high above. Moreover, the lord also promised to cultivate land and food and protect them from harassment by bandits. What a great lord, so everyone respected the young lord in their hearts. If Luo Shi Zhengliang had paid a little attention to his personal attribute information at this time, he would find that at this moment, his charm attribute, which had declined because of recruiting new lords (the new lords cannot fully support the lord before they were familiar with the lords) was rising rapidly and soon returned to his previous level.

All the leaders were immediately concentrated after entering the village, and Luo Shi Masarong briefly read out the basic requirements of the territory. Then, the new leaders were distributed equally to Xiaomai Village and Daxi Village according to households, and arranged their residences one by one. After completing these, Luo Shi Masarong summoned Daxie Guoji again, and Tsuda Hirozo came to his residence to discuss the next territorial work arrangements. At this time, outside came in and reported that Heiji Dongxiang had returned and brought back a lot of food. So Luo Shi Masarong hurriedly asked someone to inform Heiji Dongxiang to come and discuss together.

After a while, a figure rushed over and was Dongxiang Heiji. As soon as he walked into the residence of Luo's Masara, Dongxiang Heiji first gave a retainer to Luo's Masarara, and then said excitedly, "Your Highness, I am fortunate to be humiliated. I bought about 100 stones of old grains, 5 iron spears, as well as several fishing nets and small farm tools at the Dono family."

"That's great, God bless the Luo family." Daxi Guozhi screamed excitedly after hearing this. In the past, the wealthy families controlled the food tightly, and they might not be able to buy food even if they had money. Even if they were willing to sell it, the price was often twice or even higher than the market price. Often, when they encountered this situation, they could only grit their teeth and endure it when they could not contact the merchants outside. But this time it was so smooth and they had obtained so much food, and everyone was very happy.

Luo's Masayoshi didn't expect to buy so much food at once. More than 100 stones were saved, and the territory could last for a few more months. The pressure brought by the increase in the territory's population was also greatly reduced. At this moment, he even had the urge to immediately send Heiji Dongxiang to the Tahara family to blackmail him again. However, the territory was out of money, and after purchasing the grain, the territory had no copper coins, so he had to give up.

After calming down for a little while, Luo Shi Zhengliang said, "Very good, you did a good job this time." He was indeed very satisfied with the results of this grain purchase.

"No, Your Highness. His Highness Quanlai's plan and his subordinates' acquaintance, Heisa Taro." So Togo described the process of purchasing grain this time from beginning to end.

"Your Highness is wise", Osaki Kōji and Tsuda Hirozo did not expect that this plan was proposed by the Lord. They were surprised by this, and at the same time they were also impressed by the Lord's wisdom.

"Well, Heiji, if you have the chance, we must thank Taro Hirasa well." While expressing his gratitude to Taro Hirasa, Luo's wife secretly thought, what could I do to dig this talent into my own territory?

"Yes, Your Highness. Next time I meet, I will definitely thank him again." Donggo Heiji bowed and responded. He thought to himself that this was just a response from the Lord. According to the current situation of the territory, it was too late to ask others for help, so why should I thank others? But what did Donggo Heiji not expect was that only a few months later, the Lord's words became a reality. Even whenever Donggo Heiji thought of this, he had to doubt whether the Lord had thought of the plan to recruit the other party at that time.

"So, everyone, let's discuss the next arrangement." Luo Shi Zhengliang turned the topic back to work arrangements, "First of all, Guozhi, let's talk about the situation of the new people."

"Yes, Your Highness" Daxi Guozhi was slightly upright, and then bowed to report, "There are 68 new residents in this time, and no one is left behind to the south of the territory and to the dense forest area (that is, the forest that Luo Shi Zhengliang arrived after crossing). Everyone was inspired by this when they heard that His Highness was seriously injured, but they were also worried that the bandits would retaliate everywhere. When they learned that His Highness provided arable land and food, they were very willing to become His Highness's leaders. All the new residents were mainly hunters, including 21 young and strong men over 15 years old, 47 women, young and weak women. There were 11 local bamboo bows and several hunting tools. In addition, the food of the new residents can basically meet the needs of life this month."

"Well, what is the material situation in the territory?" Luo Shi Zhengliang continued to ask.

"Your Highness, based on the situation of the new entrusted people, the current grain in the territory is that 23 stones of miscellaneous grains have been distributed this month to the original entrusted people, with 124 stones of miscellaneous grains and 17 buckets of salt (unit conversion: 1 stone = 10 buckets = 100 liters = 1000 l = 1000 spoons); the population is 129 people in total. In addition to the 4 of us who are participating in the discussion, there are 32 young and strong men over 15 years old. In terms of equipment, there are 22 iron spears, 11 earth bamboo bows, 7 fishing nets, 47 hoes, and 11 ploughs. Various scrap iron and 3 kilograms of various scrap copper," Dongxiang Pingji Statistics said.

"Okay, Guangzong," Luo's Masara looked at Tsuda Hirozo on the side and said, "In two days, all the newly joined young men in the territory were gathered to select 11 people with good arrow skills to form a bow and archery foot. Their basic training was the same as daily. After the basic training, the spearmen practiced spears and gun formations, and the archers practiced archery. The training method was like the spearmen, arranged for personnel to tie into several thatched men, and practiced shooting exercises within 20 steps. At least 100 arrows a day. If there were not enough arrows, people would directly cut down bamboo to make them." The method of making the earthen bow and arrows was relatively simple, and ordinary hunters could also make them themselves.

"Yes, Your Highness" Hirozo Tsuda bowed and accepted the order. He was deeply attracted by the new lord's many novel training methods. It is estimated that Masara Luo of the Luo family will now let him have a caesarean section, and he will do it without hesitation.

"Heiji, wait a while to allocate 21 spears and 11 bows and arrows to Guangzong," Luo Shi Zhengliang continued, "In addition, find some elderly hunters among the new leaders to help make some bamboo arrows to make up for the loss of arrows in the archery foot training."

"Yes, Your Highness", Heiji Togo took the order.

"At the same time, a total of 32 buckets (that is, 3.2 stones) of grain were allocated to those who participated in the training session, and each person would be 1 bucket of miscellaneous grain per month from now on; the newly joined people allocated one bucket of miscellaneous grains per month, and if the food in the family was not enough to support it until the end of this month, the distribution volume would be increased depending on the actual situation. All the people in the territory would be distributed 30 spoons of salt per month. Everyone, be sure to ensure that the new people would be safe quickly. Tell the new people that they only have two days to build and renovate their temporary residences, and after the third day, they would need to officially participate in the construction of the territory."

"Each day, the leaders are organized to spend half a day on territory construction, and the other half a day is used as the leaders' own time. Territory work is mainly divided into picking wild vegetables and wild fruits; reclaiming fields; hunting and fishing."

"Divid all the leaders into three groups, and the old and weak will pick wild vegetables and fruits nearby, and be careful not to go to dangerous areas, such as the dense forest area in the west; young and strong people gather together to be responsible for reclaiming the fields; after the training in the morning, they will be divided into two groups, one group will be disbanded and asked to go home to take care of their own fields, and the other group will be hunting and fishing, and will be rotated once a day."

"The wild fruits picked collectively and wild vegetables are appropriately distributed to each household; the income from collective hunting and fishing is also appropriately distributed to each household. If there is any left, dry them and reserve them. After the reclaimed fields are allocated to the fosterers, the fosterers will be immediately organized to replant grain. It is April, and after replanting, it can still catch up with the harvest season. The grain is mainly rice, wheat and radish. The grain seeds are divided into grain reserves, but when distributing, you should pay attention to ensuring that each household can be allocated to the same amount of upper, middle and lower fields; encourage the fosterers to reclaim fields in private time, and the fosterers will own the fosterers themselves."

"It is clear that all the people who are slacking off in collective labor will deduct certain food from the monthly distribution of food in the next month to punish."

"Heiji, Guozhi, you must arrange these tasks as soon as possible and will ask them to explain in detail to the leaders. In this way, Heiji is responsible for the reclamation work, and Guozhi is responsible for the harvesting and hunting work. What do you two think?"

"Yes, Your Highness" Togo Heiji, Osaki Kyoji was suddenly confused by the content of the lord's order, and was still digesting for a while.

Seeing the two frowning, Luo Shi Zhengliang sighed silently in his heart. There was nothing he could do. If he wanted to concentrate all resources and forces to build territory in a short period of time, but he could not suppress the enthusiasm of the people, Luo Shi Zhengliang racked his brains and finally could only think of this half-public and half-private method. After the threat of bandits was completely eliminated, the next step of adjustment would be made. Luo Shi Zhengliang thought silently.

"In addition, cancel the Xiaomai Village, Daxi Village, and combine the Yegao Village." Seeing the two people's brows gradually relaxed, they probably understood the order just now. Luo's Masaliang continued to instruct. The separate management of the two small villages is no longer suitable for the needs of collective labor, and the entire territory is only about 130 people. Separate management will only waste resources. The most important point is to find a way to integrate everyone into one, unify their thoughts, and form a territory mechanism with his own lord as the backbone. After all, these two villages were originally dominated by Heiji Dongxiang and Daxie. Although neither of them currently have the idea of ​​forming their own power, it is imperative to prevent problems from being formed and avoid forming two different groups of forces in the future, thereby affecting the unity and unity within the territory.

In this way, in the afternoon of that day, the four of them discussed the specific work details in the small mud wooden house. Luo Shi Zhengliang explained the key points of the work to several people in detail. There is no way. It is definitely difficult to ask a few ancient people to accept the management ideas of hundreds of years later. The only advantage is that the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor" in this period is still very marketable, so even if the other three people still have a lot of things that they don't understand, they will still implement them according to Luo Shi Zhengliang's requirements.

As for whether these orders will be contradicted by other leaders, Luo Shi Zhengliang had never considered it. In his opinion, for ordinary leaders in the territory, their lives may be threatened at any time when they were dirty people. Now Luo Shi Zhengliang has provided them with a place to farm with peace of mind, which is a very happy thing for them. Therefore, as long as they understand the benefits of these policies, they will basically not contradict, and will even become a strong foundation for supporting these policies.
