    The reconstruction of the Sakamoto Castle Town was very fast. With the cooperation of Ariana Taigong and Hida Gong, the castle town was demolished in half a month. Many tents provided by the Kira family were set up near Sakamoto Port. These tents were from last year's war.  After the war, it was thrown into the warehouse and taken out to house the residents of Sakamoto Port, which can be considered as using the remaining heat.  The newly built town will have a main road every 20 kan, which is divided into modules of 20 kan horizontally and vertically, which fits perfectly with the castle town. At the same time, a six-kan wide street is left as the main road, and at the same time, Sakamoto  The side of the port close to the shore of Lake Biwa is planned as a port town, responsible for the handling and transfer of cargo terminals.  Other towns with various weird names, such as Shang-machi, Job-machi, Min-machi, Hanamachi, Funamachi, etc., were spread out one after another. As the plan got bigger and bigger, there were overruns, and the total budget needed an extra thousand kanmon to make it smooth.  Execution, in the words of Fujitaka Hosokawa, means that if you spend more now, you will collect more taxes later, so Yoshitoki Kira agreed without saying anything.  The smooth implementation of the Sakamoto Raku City Order and the Sakamoto Port Town Reconstruction Order had a huge blow to the merchants in Sakamoto Port. The former legally severed the basis for their survival. As an artificial middle layer between the lords and the town residents, their existence was originally  It is illegal, and it is backed by the Kira family's decree. It is natural that the townspeople will no longer listen to the calls of the merchants.  The latter's blow was more thorough. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the reconstruction of Sakamoto Port, the town residents and merchants were completely separated into two places. With the mobilization of the administrative officer, they recruited and recruited people on the spot to build a new town. Attracted by the strong vitality exuded by the nearby castle town,  , the townspeople were quickly attracted by the pie painted by the Kira family. How could the merchants defeat the lords with military power, not to mention that Kira Yoshitoki was now a famous general all over the world, they could only knock off their teeth.  And blood swallowing.  Ninagawa, who is a general minister, is only 19 years old now. He cooperates with Fujitaka Hosokawa, who is only 18 years old, to plan the entire castle town. He is also responsible for supervising the construction. Although he failed to go to the battlefield and make meritorious service, he was promoted to an official position.  He lived a very happy life during this year. He worked hard every day to make a city grow bigger and stronger in his hands, and finally gained a new life. This gave him a full sense of accomplishment, which was more interesting than going into battle and beheading people.  many.  In contrast, the 25-year-old Odate Harutada is much more troublesome as the tax enforcer. He is responsible for collecting taxes and fees to replenish the government treasury. The most important tax collection is Duanqian, which is levied from farmers.  To pay for the grain levy, some fishermen who do not farm have to calculate the value of the fish and shrimp. Not only that, they also have to find someone to sell the fish and shrimp as soon as possible, otherwise the tax will be in vain.  Taxation has always been a troublesome matter, and disputes with local farmers and landowners often arise because of taxation. The farmers have no money and just want to hand over the food. However, the food grown by each household is different.  Some grow more rice but less miscellaneous grains. Some do the opposite, while others do not grow grain but grow vegetables, fruits, mulberry trees, etc. All of this must be determined one by one and the tax payment must be determined one by one, and then summarized by category.  Those that are not suitable for storage must be sold immediately.  Not only that, he also has to collect building-specific money, which is a kind of house tax. The tax is levied according to the size of the house. The larger the house, the more the tax will be paid. This tax is relatively easy to collect. The houses in the countryside are basically owned by farmers.  For houses built by yourself, the price per building is to check how much tax you pay for each house. Farmers usually do not reserve copper coins, which is a troublesome matter.  Taxation is a hard job. It is really not easy to travel back and forth between the two prefectures of Shiga Takashima. Before, Odate Harutada had to resist all the taxation by himself, but after Mitsui Torakaka took charge of the prosecution, he was able to do it.  It is much easier to handle. The land inspection is to discuss land issues with farmers in the countryside. With the help of this experienced land inspection, the work he has to do is reduced by half. Considering the practical difficulties of tax collection, Kira Yoshitoki  They were also specifically allowed to call on underground people in the countryside to assist in the collection of taxes.  One year younger than Odate Harutada, Matsui Yukan, who is only 24 years old this year, serves as a town official who is more capable than him. He is good at planning and proficient in arithmetic, especially the use of abacus, which has just been introduced to Japan a few years ago.  He also has a unique skill, which is the abacus with both hands, and his fingers can be used to add, subtract, multiply and divide very quickly.  What's even more outrageous is that he has the ability to multi-task. While looking at the accounts, he can report the accurate figures with both hands on the abacus. All he needs is a person with a minor surname to record each set of figures in categories. Kira Yoshitoki once took Yamaoka Tokiyoshi out of curiosity  I watched it once. At that time, even a group of friends were really shocked by the scene.  However, as Hosokawa Fujitaka advanced the castle town reconstruction work, Matsui Tomokane increasingly found that he was a little too busy doing two things. When he found Kira Yoshi again: "Please, the owner, please transfer His Highness Ina to help!  The work of building the city has been completed. It is really a waste of talents to let His Highness Ina serve as a casualty. " "No problem, I was about to tell you. Now that I have returned to Sakamoto Castle, FujitakaThe position of city agent will be removed and you will be responsible for the appointment and implementation of the family. The specific duties will remain unchanged and you will be the head of the executive officer. Your position will also be adjusted. The new position will be city affairs executive, and you will be responsible for formulating financial and tax statistics, and assisting  It is appointed that the administrative affairs should be managed by the municipal government. Since you mentioned the Tadashi family, once he is dissolved, you will be appointed as the town administrator!  "    "yes!  Your Majesty understands!  I also have a private request, please allow your younger brother Shinzaburo Nobuyuki to serve in the Kira family.  "    "oh!  The youngest of your three brothers?  I remember seeing her once. I must have just turned twenty this year!  Since he is your younger brother, he must also have good talents in government affairs!  This family approves it!  Kira Yoshishi thought about it briefly and then said: "Let him be the first chief executive of the town!"  " Matsui Yukan is very smart. He knows that he is tied to the Kira family's ship, so he looks for opportunities to recommend his brother to be the person in charge of implementing the money order in Kyoto. Now he has dragged his younger brother who has just joined the shogunate to become an official in the Kira family.  It is equivalent to tying one's family to the big ship of the Kira family. This is the most typical political speculation in Japan's Warring States Period. In early February, Kyoto's money-making order was promoted in full swing, which was different from the many money-making orders issued by the shogunate in the past.  , this time the decree is also combined with the newly established money house in Kyoto. The designated place for exchanging Ju money and Yongle money is this money house. Some well-connected Kyoto wealthy businessmen have already found out that the Kira family is behind this, so this  The ordinary decree suddenly became more popular. It is worth mentioning that Yanagisawa Motomasa was appointed as the head of the Kyoto Money House. This gentleman was from the Yanagihara family of the Hino family branch of the Fujiwara family. His father Yanagihara Shinyou.  Emon Harumasa once appeared at the shogunate's official meeting and had a brief conversation with Kira Yoshitoki. This Yanagihara Harumasa served Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Ashikaga Yoshifuji for two generations.  Daigongfang was very loyal. When his son Yanasawa Motomasa was serving in the Yuan Dynasty, he officially changed the Miao character to Yanagi. This also showed to the outside world that their clan would firmly transform into samurai and serve the shogunate. Yanagihara Harumasa became an official as a samurai.  The shogunate was actually a crooked trick devised by the Hino family to strengthen its bond with the shogunate. The Hino family had many shogunate wives, including the two chief wives of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.  Hino Yoshiko, Hino Yasuko, Ashikaga Yoshitsune's main wife Hino Eiko, Ashikaga Yoshitsho's main wife Hino Muneko, his concubine Hino Shigeko, and Hino Tomiko who caused the Onin Rebellion because they were the emperor's side officials.  Konk¨­k¨­, he rose to prominence for Ashikaga Takauji's request to the academy. As the Ashikaga family became the generals of the conquest of barbarians, he became associated with many generals and became famous for a while. However, since the former Lord Ashikaga Yoshiharu married the daughter of the Konoe family, the Hino family  He began to be ignored, which is why his family came here with a mission. Yanasawa Motomasa, who had just entered the Yuan Dynasty, cherished this appointment very much and worked very hard. He often traveled to and from Kyoto and Japan with materials for writing money orders.  Between Sakamoto, his father told him a simple truth: work down-to-earth and seize the opportunity when you see it. Therefore, when Kira Yoshiji proposed writing money orders and money house official affairs at Nijo Imperial Palace, Yanasawa Motomasa volunteered.  Rather than working as a valet next to the general to slowly gain qualifications, being appreciated by Kira Yoshitoki and appointed as an executive officer is a shortcut. Now the whole Kyoto knows that Kira Yoshitoki is a celebrity in the imperial court and the shogunate.  People, being able to climb this big tree will definitely help their future prospects immeasurably. PS: Yanasawa Motomasa is a figure in history, but in history, he is just a soy sauce, and most of the shogunate have become soy sauce.  This is related to the great tragedy of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. The third update is very painful. Please collect, click and recommend.
