The increase in the fertility of the land from plant ash, water mixture, and manure under the guidance of the Kuroda family is absolutely significant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt least on the current Kuroda family's land, as long as the land is cultivated, this method of maintaining the fertility of the land is being used, and the output can be increased.

In any case, after the increase in output, coupled with the benevolent government of the Five Princes and Five Citizens that the Kuroda family had always adhered to, the newly acquired land, although they may not be able to fully guarantee a year's food, at least they will not starve to death, and as the output of the land increases, they are confident that they can live a better life. These simple ordinary people all feel that it is right to follow the Kuroda family, and in the troubled times of the Warring States, it is not easy to have such a master.

In the past two years, the Kuroda family has always insisted on building roads, and still has a large amount of work. The project that uses the most manpower and material resources is the water conservancy facility project related to agriculture.

Kuroda came from later generations, so he was well aware of the important impact of natural disasters on agricultural production. Even in later generations, when agricultural science and technology were already relatively advanced, if there was a natural disaster, it would also cause a significant reduction in agricultural output. In particular, in countries like Wakoku, which are close to the sea and have a mix of mountains, hills, and plains, floods are frequent, and earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and torrential rains are frequent.

Therefore, Kuroda Vocational High School has always attached great importance to disaster prevention. The first is the construction of water conservancy, and the entire river embankment in the territory has been comprehensively reinforced. In addition, during the dry season, people are sent to dig up and clean up sediment for those rivers that are prone to flooding, so as to dredge the river channels and reduce the height of the riverbed. The dug up fertile river mud was transported by the Kuroda family to nearby fields as a supplement to the fertility of the land.

At the same time, referring to the appearance of the seawall in the later film and television records, the Kuroda family also strengthened a seawall along the entire coastline, and at the same time, many large rocks were set up outside the embankment as a buffer to reduce the tsunami, so as to prevent and reduce the impact of the tsunami, after all, the coastal plain is the most important food producing area.

As for natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, even the technologically advanced rice country has no way, and the Kuroda family can only pray by themselves. At least the Kuroda family has done everything they can and can think of, and this is what makes them smarter than other big names, thanks to Kuroda Vocational High School.

Because of the above reasons, in two years, although the surface height of the Kuroda family's land is still less than 1.56 million stones, the actual height of the land has increased from 2.3 million stones two years ago to more than 2.4 million stones. The grain output of more than 100,000 koku seems to be not much, but this is almost equivalent to the Kuroda family having one more of the original Tajima country, and other daimyo families want to produce more than 100,000 koku at once, and it is estimated that they can only achieve it through war. There is also a great deal of risk associated with war, and there is also a huge amount of food to be consumed.

Because the newly acquired two countries have expanded the Kuroda family's land, it means that there are more places to defend. The expansion of the territory and the increase in the population led to the need for an increase in the number of Kuroda family soldiers.

Therefore, the Kuroda family's skills were expanded again, and the number of soldiers directly under the Kuroda family reached 32,000 people, which is only the standing number of Kuroda family's skills, including 1,000 crossbows, 200 iron artillery teams, 300 Ming fire guns (Ming guns need two people to use one pole together), 500 Ming guards battalion (all are strong Ming State key soldiers), 25,000 standing elite ashigaru people, and 5,000 semi-standing peasant soldiers.

It seems that the main family of the Kuroda family has only increased by 5,000 soldiers, but compared to before, the number of standing elites has increased a lot, and the number of semi-standing peasant soldiers has been greatly reduced, leaving only 5,000 people, so the combat effectiveness has definitely increased a lot. In addition to the semi-standing peasant soldiers, some young men who wanted to join the army, but could not be drafted for the time being, were incorporated into the reserve system invented by Kuroda Vocational High School by reference to the Kuroda family, but the number of this reserve was not large.

In the past two years, the Kuroda family obtained a large amount of saltpeter, iron ore, tea, silk and horses from the Ming Kingdom and the Jurchens in Liaodong through smuggling trade. Saltpeter is a necessity for firecrackers and iron cannons, and iron ore is the raw material for weapons and equipment, not to mention the importance of horses, and the rest is pure trade goods.

Because of the existence of the smuggling trade, the Kuroda family has obtained high profits through armed smuggling, especially various military-related industries and military supplies, which have been greatly supplemented, which also ensures the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family's army.

Because of the abundant iron ore as a raw material, the skilled craftsmen in the Kuroda family's workshop area were able to start many new researches and provide some new equipment for the Kuroda family's army. After several months of hard work in the workshop area, nearly half of the Kuroda family's soldiers used spears with fine iron heads, and their lethality increased a lot.

And in the past two years, because of the efforts of Dansheng Yan Jingzang, in addition to himself and Li Sanbao, he has trained four apprentices who have learned to make a hundred slash iron, so the output of a hundred slash iron has been greatly increased, basically the main middle and high-level samurai of the Kuroda family now have weapons made of a hundred slash iron, and more than a dozen high-level samurai basically have a hundred slash iron sufficiency, and the equipment has been upgraded to a higher level.

As a result of the equipment upgrade, the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family's army has greatly improved a lot, not because of the improvement of their own strength, but only by the improvement of the anti-strike ability and attack effect brought by the equipment.

In the past two years, nearly 500 horses and 150 stallions have been brought back from the Jianzhou Jurchens in eastern Liaodong, all of which are uncastrated stallions, and all of them have been transported to the horse farm in Danma Country that was personally selected by the three horse breeders.

But the horse farms in Equestria are now beginning to take shape, with dozens of horses increasing every year. Kuroda Vocational High School originally wanted to form a cavalry team, but was rejected by the three horse breeders, because even if only 100 horses were selected, it would affect the future production of horses. After the number of thousands, the horse farm will be divided into three, and then it will be time to start forming cavalry.

Kuroda Vocational High School also knows the truth that you can't kill chickens and take eggs, so you just often go to see the war horse, YY, and have a good time.
