Chapter 12: Big Construction (Part 1)
Now my strength is not weak, and I have a Japanese No. 1 Ninja Hattori Hanzo by my side, so I don’t have to be afraid of anyone’s assassination! So I don’t have to keep a low profile as planned. After ten years of hard work, I can finally let go and develop my territory, Anxiang City!
The winning over Shibata Katsuya is undoubtedly a failure! But it is better to say that it is no progress. I have hinted at the intention of recruiting several times. With Shibata Katsuya's ability, he must have felt it, but he always turned a blind eye and did not comment on my intention of recruiting. However, he still obeyed my orders unconditionally. When I met, I also called me the young master. This at least made me sure that he was not a member of Shibata Katsuya. In history, after Shibata Katsuya let Shibata Katsuya be a retainer of Shibata Katsuya, Shibata Katsuya began to support Nobuyuki! "I guess he was too loyal to my father Nobuyuki!" After the sixth solicitation failed, I sighed secretly.
Shibata Katsuya's affairs can be put aside first, but the development and construction of Anxiang City cannot be delayed! Time is not waiting for me! I asked the draw to discuss the reform policy, but he was jumped! "Young master! What are your mind thinking?" The draw draw to the draw, who has always been gentle, was a little out of control!
Let’s take a look at my construction plans:
First, build a city wall ten miles long and wide outside Anxiang City, and surround Anxiang City and the towns outside the city, just like the ancient Chinese city wall!
Second, the appointment was issued to attract people. The Warring States Period began for decades, with wars and many refugees!
Third, take the wasteland into the government, rent the wasteland to refugees to plant, and hand over half of the harvest every quarter. I once asked the Lengshouzheng Show to count that due to the war in Anxiang City, the landlords and wealthy families in the city basically ran away in eight or nine out of ten, and more than 90% of the land outside the city were wasteland!
Fourth, implement the militia system, farmers farm during farming, train during slack farming, and form militias to participate in the wartime!
Fifth, encourage business and provide policy benefits to businessmen!
"Young Master! I'm sorry, the old minister said bluntly that the second, third, and fourth decrees are nothing! Taking refuge in refugees, the ownership of land and the militia system are beneficial and can be implemented! But, it's just this city wall building and the policy of valuing business! The old minister has some objections! First of all, this city wall building, let alone we have no precedent since ancient times. The cost of building the city wall alone is quite large, and we haven't bought much manpower! This policy of valuing business may also attract hostility and opposition from the nobles and landlords!" said Masahiro Hiroshi of Hiroshi.
I nodded and said, "I have thought about these! My father's money will not be used to form an army, but to build a city wall. Human resources! Vagrants are our manpower! Think about it, the city wall can protect the main city and the towns under the city from damage. At the same time, the city wall also uses a considerable defensive role. It has great benefits! I have considered focusing on business, but if we don't focus on business, how can we increase our fiscal revenue! Only by focusing on business can we have more fiscal revenue and form more military!"
…………………………………………………………………………
After all my efforts, I finally convinced the government to show the reform policies and pass them all! The huge reform and construction of Anxiang City has begun!
…………………………………………………………………………
After an announcement of the recruitment of refugees to the whole country, it was clearly stated that everyone had something to do and had food to eat, the refugees in the entire Japanese archipelago were shocked! The refugees who had no food to eat ran around and told each other! They used them to Anxiang City, and they hosted more than 6,000 refugees in the first month alone! Later, more than 10,000 people came in the second month! In the third month, it reached 15,000 people! In the fourth month, it actually reached 20,000 people! I began to regret that the number of refugees was almost exceeding the limit of Anxiang City's tolerance! Fortunately, after daimyos in various places gradually discovered the harm caused by population loss, they began to control the population movement in the country, and successively set up checkpoints at the border to prohibit refugees from leaving the country! In the end, after sheltering nearly 10,000 people, the migration movement that caused a sensation across the country finally stopped with all efforts!
"Huh! If there are some refugees, I will go bankrupt!" I sighed at the report sent by Zhengxiu, and there were more than 61,000 people! In just a few months, Anxiang City has changed from a strategic fortress with a small population to a large city with a population of more than 110,000! "Fortunately, the teacher was prepared and built a lot of houses, otherwise these refugees would probably have to sleep in the wilderness!"
"This is nothing!" Hiecho Masahide smiled slightly, "It is the old minister who should do to share worries for the young master!"
"Then continue our reform!" I stood by the fence of Tianshou Pavilion, overlooking the busy Anxiang City! My heart was full of excitement! My world's number one city has finally begun to be built!
…………………………………………………………………………………………
After all the landless fields were divided, there were about 10,000 people who had nothing to do! No, they had something to do, and they had to build the city wall!
Half of the money my father left to me and bought a large amount of wood and stone. The first city wall in Japan, which was unprecedented and unparalleled, started construction! At the same time, the militia system was also rapidly promoted among farmers. Haha, under the instigation of my "defending my wife and children, protecting the homeland, and protecting the fruits of labor", how could it be unsuccessful!
But I can't be idle yet, the fifth reform is still waiting for me to implement!
When I announced my business-oriented policy, I was opposed by many landlords, including my father's Xinxiu! In a letter written to me by my father, my father said: "Sanlang! If you don't accept your ridiculous and crazy policy, you will be criticized by the clans and even cause their armed rebellion, which will threaten your rule over Anxiang City. Do you understand? I hope you think about it carefully, consider the consequences, and take it back! But I agree with your previous measures. I have secretly transported another batch of money and grain to you, so please pay attention to it!"
My will believe, "My father, I have been thinking about it for a long time! The merchant class will come sooner or later! Just like the feudal system replaces slavery! And father, have you not found that the benefits brought by business are far greater than agriculture? Vigorously developing business will bring huge economic income, which is a prerequisite for developing military power and the fastest way to improve strength! Don't worry, my father, I have my own sense of responsibility! Money and grain have been received! Thank you for your support!"
My father's second batch of money and food is undoubtedly a timely help for me, and tens of thousands of people ask me to support me! The daily expenses are astronomical! At the same time, my father's reminder also noticed that the remaining landlord class in Anxiang City has begun to move. These are reports secretly provided by Iga ninjas! Let me explain here that through Hattori Hanzo, I have officially taken over the Iga ninjas and formed them into my intelligence organization!
Let’s talk about these hateful landlords! Everyone is with Matsuhira, and the Imakawa family has a crush on them! They can stay safely in Anxiang City, where wars are frequent, and who believes that they have nothing to do with Matsuhira, and who believes that they have nothing to do with Matsuhira? Now they are secretly contacting the Matsuhira family, trying to conquer Anxiang City with an internal and external cooperation! After nearly a year of cultivation, the Matsuhira family has also recovered some vitality and regained the intentions of Anxiang City and Matsuhira family, so the two hit it off!!!
After receiving the report from Hattori Hanzo, I smiled coldly, "Matsuhira Hirotachi, Matsuhira Hirotachi! You are really ambitious! If you are immortal, I won't call you Master Oda Yoshi!"
In 1543 AD, Hirotaka Matsuhira personally took charge, sent 2,000 troops, and came straight to Anxiang City! The Anxiang City, which had just settled down and began to develop and build, will encounter war again! The changes caused by my arrival in history have finally been reflected!
Can I win? Yes! I will definitely win because I am Oda Nobunaga...
