    Because the farmers stubbornly believed that His Highness Sakamoto was the richest person in the world, they quickly accepted this seemingly absurd theory. However, some people still hesitated and said: "Then why do we need to inspect the land? Only inspection of the land will misunderstand His Highness Sakamoto."  , we won¡¯t be incited if we don¡¯t inspect the land!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right!¡± Hosokawa Fujitaka said firmly: ¡°The land inspection plan is formulated to calculate the fertility of the land in each township. Fertility is the soil fertility of the land.  The more we plant, the poorer the land becomes. We need to leave it fallow for a whole year, which is a waste of land resources. His Majesty Kira feels that it is not easy for everyone to farm. We have to pay annual contributions, military service, and general service, so we decided to inspect the land once a year, and then adjust the taxes appropriately.  " "His Royal Highness Sakamoto has his own considerations, but he always stands on everyone's side. The ruthless oppression is not the fault of the Wu family. Please rest assured on this!" Mitsui Tora coughed twice, his voice hoarse.  He said: "In addition, the military service in Shiga and Takashima counties will be changed to take into account the richness and poverty of the land, the size of the population and the number of able-bodied men to determine the military service burden. In the future, everyone will never be allowed to go to battle in vain, even if they follow the Kira family.  When you go out to battle, you also eat food and get rewards. Are you still afraid that His Highness Sakamoto will deceive everyone? " Mitsui Torako has been under a lot of pressure these days. As a prosecutor, he is under tremendous pressure. At the same time, he is in Mitsui Township, where his home is located.  It is also near Otsu. Many of the farmers who caused trouble here are fellow villagers who have lived in the countryside for decades. In the past five days, the fact that there was only trouble in Otsu without a single incident is also related to his hard work. The residents of Otsu Town are relatively restrained.  Many of them had connections with Sakamoto Town, so they naturally knew that there was something wrong with Ichiku's instigation this time. The farmers were relatively blind, and Mitsui Toragao spent a lot of effort to hold it down.  The farmers thought the same thing, so they quickly gave up the confrontation. They gathered from all over because they believed the rumors. Now that the rumors were exposed, of course they had to return to their hometowns. They didn't know how the crops in the fields were doing in the past few days.  After the gathered farmers gradually dispersed, Kira Yoshitoki began the second wave of attacks.  Under the guidance of public opinion in Otsu Town, some people began to come forward to expose who spread the rumors and who incited everyone to make a fuss. As a result, more and more evidence showed that this was all instigated by the retainers of the Yamaoka family. Gradually, the finger was pointed at  It must be in Yamaoka Kageyuki in Ritai County. This territory is Yamaoka Kageyuki's territory. His retainers also led an instigation, saying that he did not instigate it. Who would believe it.  Before Yamaoka Keiyuki decided how to respond to the question, the retainers of the Yamaoka family in Shiga Otsu could no longer sit still. Everyone was obviously making a fuss at the greeting, but why did they turn hostile to them in the blink of an eye? Then there was another saying,  The Yamaoka family is a retainer of the Rokkaku family and a retainer of His Highness K¨­kata. They have always been envious of the land owned by His Highness Kira, the direct minister of the shogunate. Because their family has made no achievements as Shiga governors for several generations, the Yamaoka family is jealous. They want to use everyone  His hand overthrew His Highness Kira, and then he served as Shiga County Dai.  Who has the louder voice in Shiga County, the untrustworthy retainers of the Yamaoka family or the beloved Kira family? Besides, this statement has both nose and eyes, and the recent incitement to emigrate has become very reliable, even if the Yamaoka family  Jingzhi also couldn't argue. He was indeed jealous and wanted to replace Kira Yoshitoki. As the lord of Shiga County, he had repeatedly refused Kira Yoshitoki's invitations and recruitments. He was unwilling to discuss Shiga County's government affairs with him.  He looks like an important minister of the Rokkaku family and is annoying.  As a result, the incited Yamaoka family fell into a passive position. The angry civilians approached the Yamaoka family retainers to seek an explanation. A fierce conflict broke out between the two parties. The Yamaoka family retainers may have held back too much anger for more than a year.  The conflict escalated into a physical collision. The samurai of the Yamaoka family were all very strong and skilled in martial arts. Of course, these civilians were not good people either. Some of them were also from Ashigaru who had been in battle all year round. A group of samurai from both sides attacked the Yamaoka family and immediately overran their numbers.  The loss of disadvantage.  Their dozens of people were no match for the hundreds of wolf-like civilian opponents. The Yamaoka family samurai were forced to retreat to the Yashiki in the city to fight. They wanted to use the narrow terrain to limit the civilians' numerical advantage, but their little calculation was very difficult.  It was about to expire, and not long after, many samurai were knocked to the ground. Then the crowd became chaotic and trampled people to death. The samurai of the Yamaoka family became anxious, drew out their knives, and slashed wildly. The human skulls rolled down, and they were violently crushed.  The civilians were defeated step by step by hacking and killing.  After dozens of civilians were hacked to death, they had to evacuate. What happened later became more and more troublesome. Originally, it was just a group fight and punching the old master to death, but it depends on your own life. With this knife, aren't you pushing yourself into the civilian ranks?  The opposition, and then there was no more, the anxious civilians that day quickly formed an army and swarmed up. In almost one afternoon, two thousand people gathered carrying bamboo guns and rushed into the Yamaoka family's walled city.  The samurai of the Yamaoka family who were outnumbered all dressed up in gourds and hung them outside the city. The Ikoku army also burned down the Yamaoka family's walled city. Seeing the raging fire rising into the sky, the angry Ikoku army cursed and roared, Hattori Masakiyoshi gradually  Hidden in the woods.    Although it is nice to hear that things have reached this point, as the lord Kira Yoshi, he cannot always watch the show and send people to appease and deal with the aftermath, because the samurai of the Yamaoka family killed people first, but it is wrong to kill people and burn down the city, so these are the things to do.  Jun will also be punished, and the result of the punishment is that all those who participated in the attack will be included in the Kira family's standing staff and will not be allowed to return to farming in the future.  Then the samurai of the Yamaoka family were punished for instigating the first attack and then killing civilians later, and their territory was confiscated and returned to the direct control of the Kira family. The two thousand and one soldiers were trained by the Mikawa samurai who were recruited that day and were brought to Sakamoto for reorganization.  , the Kira family's naval forces also immediately landed in Otsu to build a walled city and completely controlled the exit of Lake Biwa. This series of changes happened so fast that the mountain scenery had no chance to react.  This blatant favoritism for the Yamaoka family didn't dare to do anything. It is said that Yamaoka Kageyuki was furious on the spot. Afterwards, the current head of the Yamaoka family, Yamaoka Kagetaka, came to see him. As soon as he came up, he expressed his submission to Kiraden's judgment, and then said that everyone was the same.  His Royal Highness's retainers should work together to avoid misunderstandings.  Only then did Kira Yoshi realize that the governor of the Yamaoka family had become a direct minister of Ashikaga Yoshit¨­, and according to him, his father was old and dim, and it was his own fault for being fined and confiscated of the Shiga territory. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face.  When Yamaoka Keitaka cooperated with him so wisely, obeyed the sentence and apologized, and even gave nine rural lands worth 20,000 shi to Kiragi as an apology, the matter was revealed.  ¡ª¡ª PS: It was difficult for me to write how much territory the protagonist has before, because the territory is still increasing. So far, the Kira family¡¯s territory in Omi has 48,000 koku, including 18,000 koku in Takashima County, and Sakamoto  With ten thousand koku and Otsu with twenty thousand koku, the people of Shiga County were either incorporated or expelled.  The territory of Mikawa's hometown has 32,000 guanwen. Because the measurement unit of guangao varies from place to place, it cannot be uniformly converted into shigao.
