Tadaka Ina replied: "The direct meaning is to burn and weed after autumn, fertilize before winter to maintain soil fertility, and the land can be directly sown in spring the next year. The indirect meaning is that it will take one to five more years to deal with the desertification of the land."
"Is there anything more indirect?" Honjo Minoru frowned.
Matsui Nobuyuki nodded and said: "Yes! In our plan, it is indirectly divided into one to two years, three to five years, eight to ten years, within twenty years, within fifty years, and several longer levels.
At present, we are starting from the easiest ones, and we are unable to improve the most difficult ones for the time being.”
"Fifty years? No way!" The warriors exclaimed that it was impossible. Based on their knowledge, they had never heard of such a sensational thing.
"Okay! Put this topic aside for now and move on to the next topic." A certain Huya girl was wandering around in the world and didn't pay attention to what everyone was saying. As the actual host of the evaluation meeting, he needed to master the rhythm of the evaluation meeting, so he could only stop it first.
this topic.
"Yes! Next is the issue of sowing new grains in the seven counties." Hosokawa Fujitaka took a sip from the teacup to moisten his throat and continued: "The total amount of cultivated land for sowing potatoes, corn, and pumpkins in the seven counties is 5,000 machibu.
There are also 200 millimeters of sugar beets planted, and other types of seeds are ignored. Judging from the current promotion of high-temperature composting methods, it is estimated that the grain yield will be 400,000 koku, and the grain output will be increased by about 330,000 koku."
“What about population growth?”
“From March last year to March this year, the new population in the seven counties of Echigo was 65,000, of which more than 52,000 were refugees and immigrants from Kanto countries and Shinano and other places, and another 13,000
The rest are newly born people, and the death toll is 9,677. About one-fifth of them are unnatural deaths such as disasters and wars."
"What about the total population?"
"The total population is approximately 378,961."
Kira Yoshitoki praised: "The statistics are very detailed. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Last year's grain production was 640,000 koku! This year it will increase to more than one million koku! Echigo will live a better life in the future. Please work hard!"
"We will do our best to assist Wuweidian!" Hundreds of people bowed down at the same time.
…
After the evaluation meeting, during the Kira family's internal evaluation, Honjo Shibanaga, Hojo Takahiro, and Kurokawa Kiyomizu were present. The three of them looked around to see how excited they were. The Kira family's samurai were used to it, which was different from the big evaluation.
Sitting in two groups, they all sat cross-legged and talked quietly.
"Dong dong dong!" Kira Yoshishi came out and tapped the case with the handle of the folding fan: "Tell me about it! 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. Therefore, the effect of land improvement is not very good." Thinking of the troubles they encountered, Zhongsheng frowned.
"Wait a minute, let me think about it!" He remembered that he had read something before and knew what was going on, which was to grow several kinds of grass. The specific grass was not clear: "I know that there was a kind of grass in the Ming Dynasty, but I can't remember its name.
There is also a kind of pasture in America... By the way! How could I forget it! Plant alfalfa! The root system of alfalfa is very developed! That’s right, it’s him!”
Matsui Yuxian wondered: "Alfalfa? It seems that the root system is very developed, but is it really possible?"
"Of course! Alfalfa can be planted in all embankments, river banks, and dry lagoons with high salt content! There is no shortage of rain in Echigo all year round, and alfalfa is also cold and drought-resistant, but you must pay attention to fertilization. Remember to let The farmers nearby can just apply some fertilizer."
Hosokawa Fujitaka picked up a pen and paper and scribbled it down before saying, "I understand! Let's do it right away!"
"Lord, the master! We're ready over there." Namioka's words came out of nowhere, which was confusing. Honjo Shigenaga glanced at this guy suspiciously, remembering that he seemed to have seen this guy in the Mogami Army, and others. The other person didn't react at all and was still preparing to speak. He could only suppress the curiosity in his heart.
"According to testing, rainfall in the past month has been low. Your Majesty recommends speeding up the construction of water conservancy facilities."
"Both paddy fields and dry fields are inseparable from water and require a lot of irrigation."
"The waterwheel layout near Sekikawa has been completed, and the Shinano River and Agano River are also being deployed."
A group of devotees came up with their own suggestions. At the end of the group of devotees, they saw Mitsui Takayasu, whom they had not seen for a long time. Mitsui Takayasu, who is fourteen years old this year and has three years of work experience as a devotee, started serving tea from the very beginning. Starting from doing chores such as water sweeping and sweeping the floor, he gradually became the best appraiser in the Sakamoto Zeniya main store. Last year, he was dropped into the public study group. In the words of Matsui Yuxian, this is a very smart person who knows how to use his talents. child.
"Then let's do it!" After making a decision, the followers bowed their heads to prepare other information. Kira Yoshiki named Kuki Shigetaka's name again and asked: "How is the development of the navy? How is the situation of the inland rivers."
"The survey of several major rivers in Echigo has been completed. There is simply no river navy in the seven counties of Echigo. Himekawa, Sekikawa, Shinano River, Agano River, Arakawa, Kaji River and the Seinami River on the northern border have all been mastered. .”
"There are no enemies in the inner river, but the outer sea is still uncontrollable, right? The Honma family's Sado navy? Those people don't know whether to live or die." Kira Yoshitsune sneered, his eyes flashing with cold light.
The Honma family has always been very close to the Yangboku people by virtue of being on Sado Island, which is far away from Echigo. Whether it was the Nagao Mikage era or the Nagao Kagetora era, they relied on an ambiguous attitude to get along and relied on the water. The superiority of the military has always been tyrannical in the Echigo Sea, and the Nagao family has always focused on appeasement.
In the past, the Nagao family didn't care about business development. They just collected taxes and didn't care about anything else. It didn't matter if they were robbed again by the Sado navy after leaving Naoetsu, but Kira Yoshitoki couldn't let it go. With these cancerous people existing, it was simply a disaster. The Kira family's biggest problem, not to mention the gold and silver on Sado Island, is this group of colorless pirates who should be killed.
"The Anzhai ship will be imitated soon, and the navy will have a greater growth by then. I respectfully request the owner of the museum to approve the expansion of the navy."
"That's right! Let's set the quota at 1,500 people first!"
"Yes!" Jiugui Zhonglong bowed and accepted the order.
…
On March 22nd, in the Kaiji Uzaki Hall, two dusty samurai were sitting on their knees in the hall. On both sides were members of the Takeda family. In front of Takeda Harunobu were placed potatoes, corn, Pumpkin. Takeda Harunobu is holding a handful of corn kernels in his hand, and he is thinking carefully about something.
"My lord! Is this Echigo's new grain? What a strange thing!" Iitomi Humasa pinched his beard and asked, "Is this little thing really as magical as the legend says?"
"According to the leaked information, this is indeed true. According to the latest information, Echigo's grain production last year was 640,000 koku." Masaru Komai gently reported a few figures, which immediately made the Kai samurai exclaim.
Possibly continuing to remain calm, Zhukakuhu kept repeating in a trembling voice: "Six hundred and forty thousand stones... Six hundred and forty thousand stones! How much was it before Echigo?"
"The height of the stone measured a few years ago was 391,000 stone." Nagasaka Mitsuken reported the accurate figure. He is a member of the Shinano Ogasawara clan. He himself is from the same clan as the Nagasaka Nobumasa clan, but their
He has served as the Takeda family tree generation elder for generations, and he is also one of the few representatives who does not engage in factions and is willing to be the direct minister of Takeda Harunobu.
"Does this increase production by 250,000 koku? What an exaggerated figure!" Imai Sagami Morinobuo, who had always closed his eyes and said nothing, suddenly opened his eyes, bowed down and said sincerely: "Lord, this is really a blessing for me.
The opportunity for the Takeda family, with this kind of food, why worry about the great success of the Takeda family?"
"Your Majesty, I respectfully request you to make your decision as soon as possible!" With a roar, a hundred or so people bowed down and bowed down.
"Yeah! We should plant these crops!" Takeda Harunobu smiled and nodded, praising the two people kneeling in the hall: "Okuma Bizen guards the temple, and the Castle Weaving Hall has worked hard! You two have worked hard for me Takeda
I did not hesitate to go against the Nagao family again and again, and even stole Echigo’s secret grain seeds, which can be said to be a huge achievement!”
"I don't dare!" Daxiong Chaoxiu and Cheng Zhengzi hurriedly leaned over.
"Alas! Credit is credit. If such a great contribution is not rewarded, how will the world view our Takeda family in the future? Hahaha..." The ministers laughed a few times, and they all understood Takeda Harunobu's temperament. No one would be so stupid as this.
It was time to talk too much. After all the retainers praised him, he slowly said: "You two have made great contributions to our Takeda family. The rule of our Takeda family is that meritorious service must be rewarded, so each of you will be rewarded with two hundred taels of gold."
!”
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Since Bizen Shou and Oribu Yu's territories in Echigo have been taken away, let's make up for the loss of the territory by our family! Daokuma Bizen Shou will perform 500 kan, and Castle Oribu Yu will perform 200 kan.
General Ashigaru, how about our territory in Shinano-Saku County?"
"Thank you, lord. Your kindness will always be remembered in my heart!" The two of them bowed excitedly. Takeda Harunobu was very satisfied with his wrist and made a gesture with a smile. The two young people came over and led them to the annex to rest.
The new members are not qualified to participate in the evaluation meeting at the genealogical level.
After the two left, Takeda Harunobu picked up the corn seeds again and meditated. After a while, he gave the order: "Let Tohpa find out what happened in Echigo? Why did it increase by 250,000 koku? What is the reason?
reason?"
"Yes!" A warrior quietly stood up from the end of the queue and left.
"My lord, are you worried about Echigo?" Nobuaki Atobe asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem with this?"
"I don't know... I'm not 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 was going too smoothly, so there was something wrong with it, right?
There is no question about the parentage of Ohumo Asahide and Shiro Masagi. Since they are not cheating or joining forces with the Nagao family, they rebelled three times from last year to this year. They followed the orders of the Takeda family wholeheartedly and risked the lives of all their family members for this purpose.
Going in, the two people who were eager for revenge returned to their original territory to lie dormant after being pardoned at the beginning of this year. They couldn't wait to defect after receiving new grain seeds at the beginning of this month. This loyalty is only limited to the people.
Komai Masatake thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked with some disbelief: "Does the lord mean that there is something wrong with the big bear Bizen and the city's weaving?"
"No, my family is not like this." Takeda Harunobu frowned in thought. After a while, he suddenly smiled and shook his head and said: "Maybe I am too worried! It is not too late to sow these seeds, and I will leave the rest to you. Got it!"
"I'll understand!" The generations of the Takeda family smiled, including the Oyamada family who had been silent, and the Anayayama family also laughed. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
