On January 7, Yuqiehei and Semine Shin-shi finally wiped out the income and expenditure accounts owed by the Imakawa family after dozens of days of hard fighting. This morning, the two of them took their final report to Imakawa Yoshimoto to report.

"Thank you for your hard work." After Imakawa Yoshimoto saw the two of them coming in, he reluctantly rolled up the scroll in his hand. "You can go back to the territory if you have time these days. You haven't been back for dozens of days. The autumn harvest has not been taken care of yet."

"Autumn Harvest?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and then realized that these dozens of days seemed to be the day for farmers to harvest in autumn, and they didn't know how the autumn harvest in their territory was going on. It seemed that all of these were left to the personal soldiers, E. Amano Kyoto, who had heard them mention it before, but Yu Qiuping didn't care much about it.

"It's so incompetent, Yuqiu." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "Spring planting and autumn harvest are two of the two things that the lords are most concerned about in the year. Even like our Imakawa family, with a wealth of businesses, most of the income per year still depends on farming." Imakawa Yoshimoto saw that Yuqiuhei was not very understanding, so he continued to explain, "Our Imakawa family actually controls the taxable territory, with nearly 90,000 shi. The annual tax is about 360,000 shi. Whether it is reserved for military rations or in the form of money to enter the treasury, this is a huge income. With military rations, we can support the mobile troops. With money, we can maintain a series of normal activities in the borough."

"The lords attach great importance to farming, which is why, we usually do not recruit soldiers to fight during the busy farming season in the spring and autumn, but most of them go on battles in winter and summer."

"So, sometimes a locust plague during autumn harvest brings more harm to the family than the failure of a war." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "But you, you kid, don't even care about the autumn harvest in your leader, and the wrong choice!"

"That's right." Yu Qiuping scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I'm here to be taught, so I'll go back to the territory today."

Yu Qiuping suddenly felt a faint smell of incense inside, not that strong, but very comfortable. He looked around and said on the table of Imakawa Yoshimoto said that he had found a blue-blue incense burner. The cover was dark and there was a small sculpture of a bird on it.

"Haha, it seems that Yuqiu is a good person." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "This incense burner is called the Chidori Incense Burner, but it is the family heirloom of the Imakawa family." Imakawa Yoshimoto said while caressing the side wall of the incense burner, "The incense burned with it always tastes more than other incense burners."

"The main hall is that you can just taste such elegant things just by simply trying them. Do not immerse yourself in this way." Semine Shin-shi frowned and advised respectfully.

"Haha, why did you start to persuade me?" Imakawa Yoshimoto laughed and changed the subject.

Yu Qiuping was stunned when he looked at the exquisite incense burner, and suddenly remembered something, "The main hall. I'm coming down this time, there's another thing."

"Tell me." Seeing that the truth had finished speaking, Imakawa Yoshimoto took out the scroll again, spread it on the table and looked at it. From time to time, he was amazed at the exquisite parts of the painting.

"I want to equip my department with some armor equipment, but I don't know where to apply." Yu Qiuping said, "The armor under my department is very strange, and the weapons are very simple. Many of the armors have broken holes and rusty. The tips of many bamboo guns have rusted. The bows and arrows are not even intact. I think that these equipment is just a joke about the lives of soldiers! The armor is strong and the soldiers are the way to win."

"What you said later makes sense," Imakawa Yoshimoto looked up at Yu Qiuhei, then smiled and lowered his head to look at the painting, "But what did you say at the beginning? Want to apply for equipment?"

"Yes." Yu Qiuping nodded, "Is there any Ministry of War or a department that manages weapons? I'm just here for the first time, and I don't understand it very much."

"No." Imakawa Yoshimoto spread his hands and burst into laughter. The Semeshi Toshi behind him couldn't help but laugh a few times. "Do you think this is Mingguo? Will the court agree to send weapons to soldiers? Hahaha..." Imakawa Yoshimoto laughed, "We Japan is not as good as the Celestial Empire. The lords don't have any extra money to equip all the foot light equipment. Generally, every lord is only responsible for the equipment of his own directly under the army, and his retainers have to arm their own troops."

"Generally speaking, the retainers under their jurisdiction will only equip their own samurai or kashimoto," Semenashi Tsubasa explained, "As for other samurai, they will simply give some money and let them buy equipment themselves. The rich dress better, while those who don't have money will wear less." Semenashi Tsubasasa smiled, "Our Imakawa family is pretty good. They will basically give the samurai guns. Some wealthy retainers will also send samurai armor. But the armor, the samurai, etc., have no chance to get it."

"I heard about the poor places on Shikoku Island," Imakawa Yoshimoto took over the conversation. "The master's family doesn't pay any money, and it depends on his subordinates to save money and make up the equipment."

"So that's it," Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, "I want to prepare my own equipment?"

"According to common sense, as the family governor, I can give you some, and there is no problem in the treasury," Imakawa Yoshimoto pondered, "But your tree is so big that you are attracting wind, and many people are staring at you. You have been busy with the settlement and not having much communication to notice. If you start a small kitchen and equipment, those people will come and yell again." Imakawa Yoshimoto waved his hand, as if he was driving away a few annoying flies, "I'm so annoying."

"Then...how do people usually buy equipment?" Yu Qiuhei understood the difficulties of Imakawa Yoshimoto, and he did improve too quickly.

"If it's just bamboo guns, bamboo armor and other equipment, usually there are several bamboo craftsmen in every village who can do it." Semei Shi Toshi said, "But the meaning of Hongye is not as satisfied with these..."

"In our Ming Dynasty, most soldiers will have a pair of scale armor, and they will also have leather armor again." Yu Qiuping recalled some articles I had read before, "Although not everyone has swords, iron-sharp spears and better bows and arrows should also be equipped with normal configurations." He asked hesitantly, "How much does it cost to buy these equipment? Where can I find someone?"

"A body of scales... Japan does not have this kind of name. Maybe you are talking about it?" Semine Shin-shou said hesitantly, "It costs a lot of money to have it. If you go to buy it, it will probably cost 60 yuan."

"60 yuan!" Yu Qiuping was frightened very much. Even if he didn't eat or drink, he would only have enough taxes for a year to buy 10 yuan.

"But if you produce it yourself, the cost may be reduced a little." said Toshi Sena. "If the craftsmen have good skills... they may be able to reach 40 knots."

"Then where can I recruit craftsmen?" Yu Qiuping asked again.

"Forget it, don't bother you." Imakawa Yoshimoto waved his hand, "I'll give you twenty craftsmen in my mansion. Anyway, there is no plan to expand the army recently, and there is no need to produce too many weapons. Don't worry about money. I'd better help you with the cushion first. This is much more hidden than directly helping you with equipment."

"That's great! Thank you for the hall!" Yu Qiuping's problem that had bothered him for a long time was solved at once, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Yuqiu, don't be too happy too early, you don't change your clothes so quickly." Imakawa Yoshimoto laughed, "Let's go back to the territory first this afternoon."

After lunch, Yu Qiuping led the training troops to return to the territory in Ejiri in advance. Yu Qiuping originally wanted to ride a horse back, but when he saw everyone running, he got off the horse and ran back with everyone. He hadn't run a long time ago and couldn't stand it.

When he arrived at the territory, Yu Qiuping noticed the difference between the territory and dozens of days ago. The crops in the fields had been harvested, and the yards of each residents were piled with crops and were drying.

"Person Guard, who is responsible for the tax collection this year?" Yu Qiuping asked the Person Guard.

"Sir," said the personal guard, "This year, it is mainly due to the Itan family's people responsible for overall management. I will observe and learn from Shige Amano."

"How about the harvest?" Yu Qiuping asked again, "Does the harvest data be recorded?"

"Don't worry, sir, the harvest this year is pretty good, with 3,213 stones, which can be considered a bumper harvest. We have drawn a tax of 1,285 stones. We have recorded the harvest of each field." The personal guard replied.

"Okay," Yu Qiuping nodded, "and turn around and integrate the data, you can use this data to formulate new tax laws." He asked again, "How are the resettlement work of those families doing?"

"Don't worry, sir." The personal guard nodded again, "The people who were arranged in the two fishing villages have settled down. With a place to spend the winter, many people have already started to learn fishing." He paused and pointed to the pointer. "The people who were arranged in the West Village live in the south, where there are a large amount of uncultivated wasteland. I plan to plant some sesame seeds to drive away the weeds."

"If you encounter any problems, come to me and I will help you solve the problem." Yu Qiuping patted the Lipengwei on the shoulder, "Haha, you, you, amazing Lipengwei. I think you have almost solved such a troublesome thing."

"The subordinates dare not take credit." The personal guard bowed modestly, "It was achieved only by the joint efforts of all colleagues."

"If you can say this, it means you are already amazing." Yu Qiuping praised, "If I praise Zhongxiu like this, his tail will definitely hit the sky immediately!"

"Hey! Sir! What do you mean!" Mimaezaki Nakahide ran forward a few steps to Yu Qiuping, "Why do I think you have been targeting me!"

"That's right to target you!" Yoshigang Katsumasa slapped Omaezaki Nakahiko hard on the butt, "You are just messing around all day and causing trouble everywhere!"

"Who is causing trouble everywhere! I'm not drunk and crazy!" Omaezaki Nakahide yelled dissatisfiedly.

"Why are you biting people?" Ogawa Yudong was drinking alone by the side, but he had no intention of participating. He was forced to get into the gun and also got up to criticize Mimaezaki Naka Hide.

"Okay, stop arguing, you guys." Fukushima Ansei clapped his hands dissatisfiedly, "All of them are so big."

After staying in the territory for two days, Yu Qiuping rushed back to Junfu Castle. As soon as he entered the city gate, he was blocked by Akuten Taehyung at the east gate.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Yu Qiupi looked at the anxious Akaina Taehyung in surprise.

"You kid is back. Now we have a reliable backcourt!" Kamanataehyung clapped his hands excitedly, "I've got it all together! If you don't come back, we can't play in the afternoon!"

"What are you playing? Cuju?" Yu Qiuping asked in confusion. "If you play Cuju, aren't there many people in the Asabina family playing with their elder brother?"

"Those people are not good at their level! This time it's a competition! It's a competition!" He shouted repeatedly at Bina Taehyung many times, waving his arms at the same time, wishing that everyone in the Jeonjun Mansion could hear his loud voice.

"What competition? What's the matter?" Yu Qiuhei felt that it was very difficult to communicate with Asahina Taehyung.

"I had a fight with that little eye while fighting at Cuju Field. I agreed to lead the Cuju team on both sides today to decide the winner! Whoever loses, when you see the winner in the future, you must give up the venue!" Taehyung, excitedly hit the chest, "Damn it! Fuck this little eye to death!"

"Do you know! This time is an unprecedented competition!" Taehyung, Kana, shouted excitedly, "The referee is Young Master Imagawa, my brother Goro! The main hall of the family, all kinds of senior executives will come to see!"

The three young masters of the Junfu faced each other's tit-for-tat, and the young master was the referee.

Oh my God.

Yu Qiuping held his forehead deeply, which probably caused a sensation in the whole city.

"You kid hurry up and have some meals, have a good rest, and keep your energy!" Asahito pulled Yu Qiuhei off his horse, "Don't lose the chain then!"
