Date Masaki's sudden action frightened the people of Toyama Castle and made some of the visionaries of Kanegawa Castle expect a foreign war to divert the violent conflicts of the Matsuda clan, and the news of their disappointment soon came, and the Date army began to withdraw from the battlefield after showing off its military might in Fugawa Castle. The rulers of Toyama Castle still didn't dare to slack off, for fear that this was another conspiracy of Date Mashiro, and they were all afraid of Date Mashiro's strange battle, afraid that this withdrawal was another unexpected plan to repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, Date Masaki used the plot many times to defeat the strong enemy.

Soon the people of Toyama Castle realized that it was just their imagination, and Date Masahiro did not break his promise this time, and before leaving, he gave an order that all the peasants and soldiers should return to the city before the autumn harvest to encourage the people in the territory and ask them to work with peace of mind.

Date Sei's battle was like a thunderstorm, and only a few days after the decision to send troops to occupy the three prefectures of Toyu, Kamaya, and Kojima was withdrawn, and the campaign was ended, and he took on the responsibility of protecting the people, a style of combat that reflected the horror of Date Masaki's planning. At a time when anyone was still expecting the Date family to fall into the quagmire unleashed by the Shingon sect's Imperial Faction, Date Masaki was completely victorious.

Judging from a series of actions, he achieved the greatest results without much effort, and turned a lot of disasters into the biggest source of turmoil and evil that disturbed the situation in Bizen Province. After losing the protection of the people, the Shingon sect lost the bargaining chips and hole cards in the negotiations with the Date family, and had to accept the conditions of the Date family, lost a qiē, and at the same time lost the hearts of the people.

The Ida's series of actions not only won the trust of the people, but also allowed the land to be restored. The ronin who had lost their land and masters and the water thieves who were active in Kojima-gun either fell victim to the turmoil or joined a group of people and went to Toyama Castle, which was good news for the Date family, who were eager to consolidate the country, and the people lost the source of rebellion, so that many of Date Masahiro's strange policies were quickly conveyed, and the negative shock was much smaller.

When Date Masaki returned to Heshou Castle, and before he had even sat down for a cup of hot tea, he gave an unbelievable order, and with his order, a notice was posted everywhere in the villages of China. It made the whole Bei China lively again.

The notice in this chapter is about the physiological hygiene of the people: "...... From the date of the notice, all residents of Chugoku should defecate in public toilets, and open defecation is strictly prohibited. This means that the people of China are no longer allowed to defecate in the open as before, and the government hall must be managed. And that's not all. The notice also stated that the Executive Hall would be inspected at any given time, and that if anyone was found to be disobeying the rules of the Executive Hall, the offender would be sentenced to hard labor. That is, they are responsible for hard labor, and children are served by their parents.

It is strictly forbidden to defecate in the open, some people say that the country is a civilized nation, but in the eyes of Zhengheng, it is an ugly nation, at least open defecation is a rather ugly thing. Several times he has seen the wives and relatives of several retainers unzip their pants and pull in front of him, without any sense of shame at all, and often take pride in it, which makes Zhengheng feel unusually ugly. Moreover, there are obviously no public toilets in the Wa Kingdom, but the hot spring facilities are quite complete, and almost every place has a hot spring bathing place, not for other reasons, but because of the poor medical level of the Wa Kingdom, the samurai and the common people believe that the hot springs can heal their bodies. As a result, many hot springs were built.

Before the vast majority of the people of Bei China could figure out what was going on the Date house notice, they were immediately stunned by what happened next. They saw that the samurai lords of the High Date family led a group of Ashigaru appeared in the wasteland near the road in the village, began to dig caves, and then built public toilets, and marked the rules of public toilets outside the public toilets. Showing the seriousness of the Date family in this matter, they also set up a commissioner in several neighboring villages, and recruited more than a dozen idle servants to manage the public toilet affairs, and half of these commissioners and idle servants were funded by the Date family. The other half was replaced by the remuneration received by the captured civilians for their hard work, in order to increase their motivation.

The people of Bei China could not understand Date Mashiro's approach. Even the mid- and lower-ranking samurai of the Date family could not understand it, and the vast majority of the people who faced the Shinkan, who directly managed the public toilets, could not understand the bizarre practices of the lord. It's just that the upper-level retainers of the Date family paid unusual attention to this matter, which made everyone devote themselves to it while being puzzled.

Later events surprised the officials and idlers of the commissioner, and the order to the outside world was that they had to go to the public toilet to defecate, and every month someone would pull a dung truck to pull the feces in the public toilet to a special place to dump it, and they were happy to do it, which seemed quite mysterious.

At the beginning, there were still many important ministers who didn't understand Date Zhengheng's approach, and Zhengheng didn't explain much, but just took them into the toilet in Heshou City, and asked the little attendant to take a broom dustpan and sweep it when he saw a white mango, and after a while, he swept out a few catties of nitrate.

Then arrange for someone to take some plant ash, crush the nitrate and wood ash separately, sieve them, mix them and put them into a pot, start to wash them with hot water, slowly filter and refine the liquid, and the concentration changes from reddish-brown components to cooling and crystallization.

The eyes of the important ministers in the family were straight, and they did not expect that the gunpowder problem that had been bothering them and difficult to solve would be solved in this way.

The Japanese did not produce saltpeter, and gunpowder could not be produced by itself, so it was purchased at high prices by Nanban merchants and Tang intermediaries. The use of iron cannons makes many people love and hate, the application of iron cannons is much more convenient than bows and arrows, bows and arrows need to be trained for many years to form a deterrent, but as long as the iron cannon is trained a little, it can go to the battlefield and become the main force that determines the victory or defeat of the battlefield. It's just that once the gunpowder is used up, it can only become a burning stick, and it becomes a reality to use a large number of iron cannons, and you can only keep buying gunpowder, which is the reason why iron cannons are expensive. In fact, the price of the iron cannon itself was affordable by many wealthy families, and the continuous use of gunpowder could drag down the finances of many wealthy families. The ease of training and the immense power of the iron cannon made it unstoppable that the iron cannon would become the main weapon of each daimyo as well, and the people of the Date family were aware of the problem of the iron cannon, and they had all seen that the power of the iron cannon was enough to determine the fate of a battle. However, the lack of financial funds has prevented the Date family from investing heavily in the purchase of iron cannons, and the gunpowder of the existing more than 100 iron cannons has been almost exhausted, and the inability to purchase gunpowder has become an important obstacle to the use of iron cannons.

Now that I have seen that we can get this precious mineral from dirty dung, we can get this precious mineral in the filthy dung, and we are a country with many volcanoes, and sulfur can be found everywhere, and the most important nitrate for the production of black powder has been solved, so that we can continuously produce gunpowder, and at the same time, we can buy enough iron cannons without worrying about the restrictions of gunpowder.

This simple method of making nitrate will be a huge disaster if it is known to other wealthy families, the self-production of saltpeter is like Pandora's box, once it is opened, it will be a revolution, and the Date family, who has the key to open the magic box, began a series of reforms, so that this influential matter quickly shifted in people's sight, this qiē is the result of the discussion between the political balance and the retainers who know the reason, and it is not the time to make it public, at least it will not be made public until it becomes a powerful force in several countries.

It was only from this day that the Date family began to buy iron cannons with great fanfare, and also invited craftsmen from the town of Tsuda to come to Bi China to teach the craft of making iron cannons, as if the iron cannon was the main combat force, so that many daimyo and powerful people saw the jokes of the Date family, and unanimously believed that the young and vigorous Date Masaki could not realize that consuming gunpowder was like slow bleeding.

Date Masato's reforms continue to challenge the nerves of the people, and if it is understandable that the opening of public toilets prohibits people from defecating in the open, the weapon restriction order has caused many people to be dissatisfied, but dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and in the case that most of the disgruntled ronin are still in Toyama Castle, even if there is a clown jumping out, he can only become the poor and hateful chicken that kills the chicken and makes an example of the monkey, and the collection of weapons is not forcibly confiscated, and at the same time, a certain amount of money will be compensated.

The weak people registered in front of the powerful Date family and obediently handed over their weapons, but the ronin who had always been rampant felt embarrassed in the face of this weapon restriction order, but their arms could not reach their thighs, and under the coercion of the Date family, in order to obtain a certificate of knife possession, they had to go to the office to register and make a register.

The weapon restriction order can be said to be a simplified version of the sword hunting order, or is it based on the village, the weapons in the hands of the peasants in each village are collected and hidden in the middle house of the village, and the village attendants are under the unified management, and the entry and exit are uniformly checked during the monthly training, saying that it is to better manage the people, but in fact it is to prevent the outbreak of Yiyi, after the bad behavior of burning and looting along the way of the thugs in Toyama Castle was exposed, the ruling class of Bei China very much agreed with this provision.

On the afternoon of July 20, while Mashiro was debating with his retainers how best to enforce the weapon restriction order, the imposition of the weapon restriction order was not so much to consolidate the rule of the Date family and strengthen the samurai class and the common people, but to divert people's attention from the public toilets and hide the secrets of the nitrate as much as possible.

Shiro Katayama shouted in a panic under the corridor: "Your Highness, Your Highness, give birth, Lady Sakura gave birth to a boy like a jewel!" ”
