Meng Tianfang's explanation of the new rules of the Takeda family made Liu Shiba very satisfied, and he nodded and praised Meng Tianfang repeatedly.
"Nani?"
Behind Liu Shiba, General Nobufusa Baba was the first to be dumbfounded and showed an incredulous expression.
This? What the hell are these family rules and divine logic?
Why do so many ministers and generals need to strictly implement wrong military orders?
"boom!"
On the high platform of the square, all the important officials of the Takeda family were equally shocked and puzzled.
The tens of thousands of Ashigaru Hatamoto gathered in the square had even worse expressions, staring at Liu Shiba and Meng Tianfang in stunned silence.
Everyone secretly thought: This lord is a bit crazy...
"Lord, please speak! Silence..."
Behind Liu Shiba, a military general strode forward and roared wildly.
The person who yelled was Takeda Katsuyori, the son of Lord Shingen!
"Buzz!"
The whole place suddenly became quiet.
Liu Shiba turned his head, stared at Katsurai deeply, nodded with a smile, turned back with a straight face, looked at the tens of thousands of people in the audience and laughed loudly...
"Hahahahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After a long laugh, Liu Shiba laughed inexplicably!
But, the laughter suddenly stopped!
Liu Shiba then spoke and shouted to everyone in the audience:
"Who told me! How long does it take for a rice season to start from planting seedlings in March, then planting the seedlings in May and June, and finally harvesting the rice in September or October?"
"Nani?"
"Lord, what are you asking for?"
"Don't you know, my lord, such a simple farm work?"
For a moment, everyone couldn’t figure out what kind of medicine Liu Shiba Gourd was selling!
"Lord...Lord! The villain knows."
Finally, a bold man in the front row knelt down and answered.
"Sigh! Then, it's up to you to answer."
Liu Shiba smiled, pointed at the bold ashigaru and asked loudly.
"ha!"
Ashigaru raised his head, responded in shock, looked at Liu Shiba and replied:
"The harvest depends on nature! It starts in March, and if it goes faster, it will take June or July to harvest rice.
If it is slower, it will take eight months to harvest rice! If it is divided evenly, it will take about seven months..."
"Sou Ga! You are very good! You seem to know how to farm!"
"Ha! I don't dare, a villain." Ashigaru responded with a strange expression.
Liu Shiba praised him, but then his expression turned strange and he said loudly:
"Well, let me tell you two things! First, I just asked how long it takes from the beginning of sowing to the harvesting of rice. Is that right?
Don’t forget, everyone, this is what I am asking everyone. There are tens of thousands of people in the audience, but he is the only one——"
Having said this, Liu Shiba raised his right hand and pointed a finger at the bold response, and added:
"But he was the only one who answered my question as the house superintendent! In other words, he was the only one who understood and implemented the inner meaning of the new family rules.
Regardless of right or wrong, the orders issued by the family governor must be implemented. This is the way of right and wrong, do you understand?"
Liu Shiba's words made everyone stupid!
Lost...
"Where is Mr. Xinlian?"
Liu Shiba turned his head and shouted.
Takeda Xinlian was stunned when he heard this, hurriedly stepped forward, stood two meters behind Liu Shiba, and responded loudly:
"My lord, here!"
"In the Battle of Noda Castle, how much gold and silver were collected from the Noda Castle treasury and the Tokugawa army's military pay?"
Liu Shiba asked casually.
"Grain, grass, baggage, silks, horse grain, and other fine items are not included. The gold totals three thousand gold and the silver totals fifteen hundred silver."
Takeda Xinlian frowned, and after secretly reaching out his hand to consider, he cautiously reported to Liu Shiba.
During the Warring States Period, the measurement unit of gold and silver was one tael per gold. The coins used in daily life were basically copper plates!
Three thousand gold means three thousand taels of gold, which is a huge amount of money for a small daimyo.
For individuals such as farmers or small traders, it is undoubtedly a huge astronomical sum, and it is impossible for several generations to earn this amount.
"very good!"
After Liu Shiba kowtowed, he directly ordered:
"Take a thousand gold from it and give it to the ashigaru who just answered me about my farming days."
Takeda Xinlian was shocked when he heard this. He raised his head and stared at Liu Shiba in surprise. Then he turned his brows and smiled with relief, and accepted the order happily:
"Ha! I will do it immediately."
At this scene, the ashigaru who was still kneeling on the ground in the audience was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and was speechless. He seemed to be in a dream...
One thousand gold? Give it to me, this peasant soldier?
Since I was summoned to the battlefield, I have never asked for a head, and yet I received such an astonishing bounty just because I answered my lord for a low-level farming season——
One thousand gold...
So amazing…
Lord! As expected, he kept his promise!
And this scene fell in everyone's eyes! It also completely ignited the burning desire for wealth in all the soldiers and retainers!
Under the stage, wild shouts and howls echoed throughout the world:
"Lord! Long live!"
"Lord, be mighty!"
"Takeda family, roar!"
"Hey, hey!"
Liu Shiba looked at this scene with a smile, but his eyes suddenly looked at the dull-looking man standing next to Ashigaru who had received a rich gift of gold: Mouri Katsunaga...
Now, the time has come...
"Quiet!"
As soon as he thought of it, Liu Shiba opened his arms and roared majestically.
In the field, it suddenly seemed as if it was struck by lightning, from extremely lively to extremely quiet...
The military orders are like mountains! The master says to be quiet and shut up immediately!
No! Military orders are gold...
Now, everyone understands the meaning of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars...
Liu Shiba started to look at the left side of the square, looking around at the group of people!
When Liu Shiba saw the bunch of ashigaru, he puffed up his chest, raised his head and protruded his belly without even realizing it, and stared straight ahead. They were full of power!
Tens of thousands of people gathered in Noda Castle Square, and a murderous atmosphere gradually filled the air!
There are orders and prohibitions, military orders are like mountains!
What Liu Shiba wants is this effect!
And the target of this effect of killing the whole army is only effective on two people, that is - Mouri Katsunaga and Sanada Yukimura!
"Hehehehe!"
Liu Shiba let out a series of smiles, then looked strange and added:
"As you all know, it takes about seven months to plant rice from planting to harvesting. If you are willing to go back to Kai to farm, I won't stop you.
Soldiers who want to go back can also ask Mr. Xinlian to receive appropriate military pay. I will not let everyone train for three months in vain. The hard-earned money will always be given.
But what I want to say is that there are five cities around Noda Castle, waiting for the warriors of the Takeda family to conquer and conquer them.
And if we set out today, it will only take one day to conquer those cities. You can calculate, one day and seven months and 210 days, who is more and who is less?
In the five cities, the stocks of gold, silver, grain, grass, silk and satin were piled up into mountains.
There are even countless ladies from famous families, waiting for everyone to collect them, hahahahaha..."
When Liu Shiba said this, he suddenly shouted:
"I have ordered that after the five cities are conquered! More than half of the gold and silver obtained by the female family members will be shared with you, how about you take what you want?"
