Pillars of the Wu family

Ina Tadashi's family replied: "The direct meaning is to burn the wasteland and weed after autumn, fertilize the land before winter to maintain soil fertility, and the land that can be directly planted in spring in the next year, and indirectly means to spend one to five years longer to deal with the desertification of the land."

"Is there anything more indirect?" Ben Zhuang asked with a frown.

Nobuyuki Matsui nodded and said: "Yes! In our planning, it is indirectly divided into one to two years, three to five years, eight to ten years, within 20 years, within 50 years, and several longer levels. Currently it is Start with the easiest, and improve temporarily with the most difficult."

"50 years? No way!" The samurai shouted that it was impossible, and they had never heard of such a sensational thing in their knowledge.

"Okay! Put this topic on hold for now, and move on to the next topic." A certain Huya girl was wandering in the sky and didn't pay attention to what everyone was talking about. As the actual host of the evaluation meeting, he needed to grasp the rhythm of the evaluation meeting, so he had to stop first this topic. [

"Yes! Next is the issue of sowing new grain in the seven counties." Hosokawa Fujitaka took a sip from the teacup to moisturize his throat, and continued to read: "The total amount of arable land for sowing potatoes, corn, and pumpkins in the seven counties is 40 chobu. There are also sugar beets planted for 33 steps, and several other types of seeds are ignored. Judging from the current situation of high-temperature composting, it is estimated that the grain production will be [-] shi, and the increase in grain production will be about [-] shi.”

"What about population growth?"

"From March last year to March this year, the seven counties of Echigo added 5000 people, of which more than 5 were refugees and migrants from Kanto countries and Shinano, and another 670 People are newborns, and the death toll is [-], of which about one-fifth is due to abnormal deaths such as disasters and wars."

"What about the total population?"

"The total population is about 37 people."

Yoshitoki Kira praised: "The statistics are very detailed, thank you for your hard work!"

"Last year's grain output was 64 shi! This year it will increase to more than 100 million shi! Echigo will have a better life in the future. Please work hard!"

"We will do our best to assist Wuwei Palace!" Hundreds of people bowed down at the same time.

……

After the evaluation meeting, Shigecho Honjo, Takahiro Hojo, and Kiyomi Kurokawa attended the internal evaluation of the Kira family. The three of them looked around to see how excited they were, while the samurai of the Kira family were used to it.Different from the big assessment where two factions were sitting, they all sat cross-legged together and talked in a low voice.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Yoshiki Kira came out and tapped the table with the handle of a folding fan: "Tell me about the specific situation of land improvement."

"The current situation is that we need to introduce some grass species. At present, we lack available grass species to improve the problem of land desertification, so the effect of land improvement is not very good." Thinking of the troubles encountered, Feng Xingzhong was frowning.

"Wait, let me think about it!" He remembered seeing something before to know what was going on, that is, planting several types of grass.I don't know exactly what kind of pasture: "I know that there is a kind of pasture in Ming Dynasty, but I don't remember its name, and there is also a kind of pasture in America... By the way! Why did I forget! Plant alfalfa! The root system of alfalfa is very developed ! That's him!"

Matsui Yukan asked doubtfully: "Alfalfa? It seems that the root system is very developed, but is it really good?"

"Of course! Order all dams, river banks, and dry diarrhea with high salt content. Alfalfa can be planted! There is no shortage of rain all year round in Echigo, and alfalfa is also resistant to cold and drought. But be sure to pay attention to fertilization, and remember to let nearby Farmers just apply some fertilizer."

Hosokawa Fujitaka picked up a pen and paper and wrote it down, then said: "Understood! Let's do it right away!"

"My lord! It's ready over there." Langgang's endless sentence made people inexplicable. Honjo looked at this guy suspiciously, and remembered seeing this guy in the Supreme Army. Others The people didn't react at all, and they were still preparing to speak.He could only suppress the curiosity in his heart.

"According to the test, the rainfall in the past month has been relatively low, and I suggest that the construction of water conservancy facilities be accelerated."

"Whether paddy fields or dry fields are inseparable from water, they need a lot of irrigation." [

"The layout of the waterwheels near the Guanchuan River has been completed, and the deployment of the Shinano River and the Agano River is also underway."

A group of adherents came up with their own suggestions. At the end of the line of adherents, I saw Mitsui Gaoan, who hadn't seen him for a long time. This year, 14-year-old Mitsui Gaoan has three years of work experience as a follower. From the very beginning, he served tea and poured water. Starting from doing chores such as sweeping the floor, he gradually became the best appraiser in the main store of Sakamoto Zenya.In Matsui Yukan's words, this is a very smart child who knows how to use his talents.

"Then let's do it this way!" With one word decided, the followers lowered their heads to prepare other materials. Yoshihiro Kira called Shigetaka Kuki's name and asked, "How is the development of the navy? How is the situation in the Uchi River."

"The measurement of several major rivers in Echigo has been completed. There is no inland water army in the seven counties of Echigo. Himekawa, Sekigawa, Shinanogawa, Aganogawa, Arakawa, Kajigawa, and the Namikawa on the northern border have all been mastered. "

"There are no enemies in the inland river, but the outer sea is still out of control, right? The Sado navy of the Honma family? That group of lifeless things." Yoshiki Kira sneered, his eyes flickering with coldness.

The Honma family has always been close to the Yangbei people by virtue of being far away from Sado Island in Echigo. Whether it was the Nagao Kage era or the Nagao Kagetora era, they all relied on an ambiguous attitude to get along, relying on the water The superiority of the army has always been domineering in the Echigo Sea, and the Nagao family has always focused on appeasement.

In the past, the Nagao family didn’t care about any business development, as long as they could collect taxes, they didn’t care about anything else. It didn’t matter if they were robbed by the Sado Navy again when they got out of Naoejin, but Kira Yoshitoki couldn’t let it go. The confidants of the Kira family are in serious trouble, not to mention the gold and silver on Sado Island, this group of colorless pirates should be killed.

"Anzhai Ship can be imitated soon, and the navy will have a large increase by then. I respectfully request the owner of the museum to approve the expansion of the navy."

"Yes! Let's set the quota at 500 people first!"

"Yes!" Nine Ghosts bowed and accepted the order.

……

On March 22, in the Kai Yasaki Pavilion, two dusty samurai knelt in the hall, flanked by members of the Takeda family. Potatoes, corn, and pumpkins were placed in front of Takeda Harunobu.Holding a handful of corn kernels in Takeda Harunobu's hands, he was thinking about something carefully.

"My lord! Is this Echigo's new food? It's really a strange thing!" Fan Fuhuchang asked, pinching his beard, "Is this little thing really as magical as it is said in the legend?"

"According to the leaked information, this is indeed the case. According to the latest information, Echigo produced 64 koku of grain last year." Komai Masaotake gently reported a few figures, which immediately made the Kai warriors exclaim.It is impossible for anyone to remain calm, Zhujiaohu Ding repeated in a trembling voice: "64 stones... 64 stones! How much was Echigo before?"

"The stone height calculated a few years ago was 39 stone." Mitsuken Nagasaka reported the exact figure. Acting as the elder of the Takeda family tree, he is also one of the few representatives who does not engage in factions and is willing to be a direct minister of Takeda Harunobu.

"Is this an increase in production of 25 shi? What an exaggerated figure!" Imai Sagami, who had been keeping his eyes shut all along, suddenly opened his eyes.He bowed down sincerely and said: "My lord, this is really an opportunity for my Wutian family to be blessed by God. With this kind of grain, why worry about my Wutian family's great success?"

"My lord, please make a decision as soon as possible!" The hundred or so people all bowed down and bowed down.

"Yeah! These crops should be planted!" Takeda Harunobu nodded with a smile, and praised the two kneeling in the hall: "Okuma Bizen Shouden and Shiroweaving Hall have worked hard! Both of you have worked hard for me, Takeda The family did not hesitate to fight against the Nagao family again and again, and even stole Echigo's secret grain seeds, which can be described as a huge contribution!"

"I dare not!" Da Xiong Chaoxiu and Cheng Zhengzi hurriedly leaned over.

"Hey! Credit is credit. If such a great contribution is not rewarded, how will the world view my Takeda family? Hahaha..." All the officials laughed a few times, and everyone understood Takeda Harunobu's temperament, and no one would be so stupid. It's time to talk too much, and after the retainers praised me incessantly, I slowly said: "You two have made great contributions to our Takeda family, and the rule of my Takeda family is that meritorious service must be rewarded. So each of you will be rewarded with 200 taels of gold! "

"Thank you, my lord, for your grace!"

"Since the territories of Bizenshou and Oribusuke in Echigo have been taken away, the family will make up for the missing territory! Big Bear Bizenshou Zhixing [-] kans, Shirobuyuu [-] kans, as How about the ashigaru general of the family, the territory of Shinano Saku County?" [

"Thank you, my lord, I will always remember my lord's kindness in my heart!" The two bowed excitedly, and Takeda Harunobu was very satisfied with his wrist and made a gesture with a smile. New entrants are not qualified to participate in the genealogy-level assessment meeting.

After the two left, Harunobu Takeda grabbed the corn seed and meditated again.After a while, he ordered: "Let Topo find out what is going on with Echigo? Why is there an increase of 25 shi? What is the reason for it?"

"Yes!" A samurai quietly got up from the end of the queue and left.

"The lord is worried about Echigo?" Atobe Nobuaki asked suspiciously: "Is there any problem?"

"I don't know... My family can't be sure either! I just feel uneasy." Takeda Harunobu frowned and said nothing. He didn't know where this feeling came from. He couldn't say that he felt that everything went too smoothly so something was wrong, right?

Daxiong Chaoxiu and Cheng Zhengzi's origins are not problematic. Since they were not fake or teamed up with the Nagao family, they rebelled three times in a row from last year to this year.They obediently obeyed the command of the Takeda family, and for this reason they put the lives of all their family members in it. The two people who were eager for revenge at the beginning of this year returned to the original collar after being pardoned and hibernated. It is nothing more than a genealogy of generations.

Masao Komai pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that my lord means that there is something wrong with Bizen and Shirobo?"

"No, it's not like this in my family." Harunobu Takeda frowned and pondered, then suddenly smiled and shook his head after a while and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking! It's not too late to sow these seeds, and I'll leave the rest to you gentlemen." Already!"

"I'll understand!" The genealogists of the Takeda family smiled, including the Koyamada family and the Anayama family who had been silent all this time, also immediately laughed.
