Chapter 26 Spending money like flowing water

"Lord, my subordinates think that once the lord distributes food to the refugees, the refugees will inevitably settle down. If they are asked to reclaim more wasteland and have rich arable land, they can directly rely on these to attract civilians, so that they will not be suspicious of their family."

Zong Qing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after hearing this. Although this was a good idea, the effect was really slow. And when the farmland was developed well, the harvest this year would definitely not be able to catch up. In other words, if you want these civilians to settle down, at least you have to wait until next year. What you lack the most now is people, and you can't afford to wait at all.

So I only heard that: "Although this method is effective, it is a bit slow. I don't know who you have a better solution, so I might as well talk about it."

After Zong Qing finished speaking, no one spoke for a moment. Just when he wanted to give up this topic, he suddenly saw Chutian Chongsheng raise his head and said, "Lord, it will be a little difficult to recruit civilians, but it is so difficult that you forgot how you made your subordinates loyal?"

"I said that if you can't speak well if you can't tell me if you have any ideas directly? If you want your lord to guess it, it's an unreasonable move." This time the reprimand was so gentle, so it was naturally not because of Ura Masaki, but because of Yokotani Shigeyuki. That day, because he sent Hatsune away, he didn't know the specific situation at all, so it was understandable that he was so admonished.

No matter what Shigeyuki Yokotani said, this really reminded Zong Qing, yes, since it is so difficult to absorb single-family civilians, why not absorb the whole village?

Thinking of this, I heard Zong Qing ask, "Cada Shigekaku, do you have a familiar ninja village leader in Koga?"

"This... I don't know many people." He just asked a thought. Seeing that his lord wanted to hand over the task to him, he quickly shrank his head back.

"Lord, my subordinates think that it is not realistic if it is absorbed by the whole village. My subordinates think that the general village chiefs of these villages are warriors in their ranks. With them here, how could they turn to us?" After hearing this, Ichiko Nakamura said after thinking for a while.

After hearing this, Zongqing nodded. It was true. Village samurai is usually the village chiefs of the village. For example, Takashi Yusuke from the family, who was the one who served as the family. It was too much to find a village without a samurai... Wait, thinking about this, Takawa Soqing suddenly caught something, and after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, why did he forget him? This person not only did not serve as an official, but his ability was definitely stronger than the retainers in front of him. Moreover, he had hundreds or even thousands of civilians or could also be called subordinates. If he could recruit him as a retainer and accept these people under his command, the lack of people in the family would be completely alleviated. Moreover, his subordinates except his family members had all seen blood. As long as they were willing to spend money to arm them, this would be an elite force. Who is this person? Naturally, Masaoka Hisuka and Kawagi under his command.

As for whether he could convince him to be loyal to him like himself, Zong Qing felt that the problem should not be big. After all, the other party had hundreds or thousands of people, but under his jurisdiction, there were only one village of Hisuka. How much land can a village be? And he was exactly the opposite of him. He did not lack land, and he was even very rich, but he lacked people. With a large amount of land, he could definitely be loyal to him. Moreover, he not only had land, but also had a big city!

So Qing knew why Masaoka Hisuka was loyal to Tenghiro Kinish, who was just a slight head at the time? This friendship had nothing to do with it. It was entirely because when Kinisho Tenghiro Kinisho was recruiting him, it was clear that once he successfully built a castle in Sumata, the city would belong to him. So Masaoka Hisuka Hisuka Hisuka Hisuka Hisuka. Although Masaoka Hisuka has the word "City", it is a small village that does not even have the Tianshou Pavilion. What do you have? Hisuka Hisuka! This is a big city. With this city, you are not afraid that Masaoka Hisuka will not come. However, if you want him to become an official in your family, you have to go to Mino in person. It seems that after you repel the Rotaka Army, you will go there.

Thinking of this, Zong Qing said: "Since that's the case, let's do what Nakamura Ichi-san said, but I have to reserve a thousand stones of land under my family's rule, which is useful."

"It's the lord, and my subordinates will live up to the lord's trust." Seeing that the lord finally adopted his suggestion, Ichizu Nakamura was still very happy.

But he was happy, so naturally some people were unhappy. After Zong Qing made the decision, Yuchuan's relatives' heart began to bleed. He quickly said, "My lord, according to his subordinates, if all the wastelands around Haijin City are cultivated, then there will be at least 5,000 stones. Even if only half of the land is used to attract refugees, according to the calculation of 2,000 people, there will be more than three months to get the next harvest. Even if each person provides two stones of miscellaneous grains, this is 4,000 stones. The grain of Ori River is more convenient than other places, and it will cost 1,500 stagnants. Moreover, the lord will not pay taxes this year, and the family will also need to purchase grain as a reserve. If this is combined, it will cost about 2,000 stagnants. So please think twice, lord, lord."

After hearing this, Zong Qing felt that his uncle had good calculation ability. He had calculated the entire expenses, the materials and the amount of land he could reclaim so quickly. If this seemed like this, his uncle would not be useless. At least his calculation ability was still good.

However, in addition to thinking about this, Zong Qing also felt that he could not help spending this little 10,000 guan. Before he started to separate soldiers and farmers, he did not buy iron cannons. He just gave some rewards and absorbed some refugees, and had to spend 3,000 guan. It was not easy to make money, but it was really quick to spend money.

But he might not do this? Obviously not. He still said that there is nothing if there is no one. Even if there is one, it cannot be saved. This money must be spent no matter what. So he only heard him say: "Absorbing the people to settle in the country is related to the future development of our family. Although it has been spent a little more now, it is just a expenditure. If this money is not spent, then if the Hexao family attacks the family continuously, who should resist it? So my uncle doesn't have to persuade him anymore. Let me leave the food to my uncle to take responsibility."

"This... OK, I'll do my best to negotiate more prices for the lord." Although the relative of Yuchuan felt distressed, he heard what the lord said was very reasonable, so even if he didn't want the lord to spend the money, he couldn't stop him.

"Nakamura Ichiya, the matter of absorbing refugees must be as soon as possible. I hope that before the next harvest, at least half of the land in our family will be cultivated. Can you do it?"

"Please rest assured, lord, my subordinates will do their best to handle this matter for lord." Nakamura Ichi said quickly.

"Uncle, you will be responsible for the family's income and expenditure and the transaction of goods in the future."
