Pillars of the Wu family

Fujido Toraka suddenly wants to abandon the Fujido family and change his original name to Mitsui Toraka. In this way, he will face a new problem, how to arrange for the head of the Mitsui family. Fortunately, Mitsui Yasutaka is very considerate of Mitsui Toraka , He took the initiative to give up the position of the head of the Mitsui family, and his family continued to be the branch of the Mitsui family.

Mitsui Toraka did not embarrass Mitsui Yasutaka, and voluntarily gave up the territory of Kowaki Castle and Mitsui Township. Those territories had already been abandoned by him and now he is too embarrassed to want to come back. He moved to Sakamoto Castle with his wife and children. When he became the direct vassal of Kira Yoshishi, the conditions given by Kira Yoshishi were also good, with an annual salary of [-] guanwen and three people supporting rice. His position arrangement was carried out by the inspector.

Hosokawa Fujitaka's castle is very competent. The development of Sakamoto Castle can be said to be thriving. In the past six months, the city has expanded a lot. Hosokawa Fujitaka told him that Sakamoto Castle will be rebuilt and continue to be rebuilt on the basis of the original stone wall. , The original slabs were knocked down and rebuilt into a new type of stone wall, that is, a city wall made of stones. The three-room high new-style stone wall is much stronger than the previous earth barrier. According to him, the rebuilt Shinsakamoto Castle will be even more beautiful.

"After many discussions, the ministers and others felt that the towns connecting Sakamoto Port and the castle town should be demolished. These towns did not have a unified plan and it was difficult to fit the castle town. In the early stage of the development of Sakamoto Port, there was no planning. The roads between the towns were congested and connected to each other. , There are still many broken roads that seriously affect traffic travel. According to the investigation of the ministers, since the establishment of Sakamoto Port in the past [-] years, there have been three major fires in Sakamoto Port, and nearly a hundred small fires. It is easy to burn down the castle town." Hosokawa Fujitaka talked eloquently.

"Is the phenomenon of random construction so serious? In this way, it really seriously hinders the development of Sakamoto... The family understands! This is why you have discussed and withheld this ten thousand guan for so long? How much budget do you need?"

"It is estimated that the reconstruction cost will be about [-] kanbu, mainly to rectify the messy town in Sakamoto Port and make further plans. The total budget of [-] kanbu should be enough."

Kirayoshi didn't understand urban planning at the time, but he had seen the appearance of Kyoto. The urban style of the Jobo system was similar to that of Sakamoto Castle Town, so he nodded and said, "Then the castle town should be rebuilt as soon as possible according to the Jobo system! Also, Rakushi Hurry up and come up with a report, there should be a result after so long."

"This subject is about to report this matter. After more than two months of trial implementation, the Leshi Order has been formally confirmed and will be officially implemented on February [-]." Hosokawa Fujitaka took out a letter from somewhere and respectfully handed it over.

The primary purpose of the Sakamoto Rakushi Order is to abolish the monopoly privileges of the merchants. The merchants were originally the managers and the largest commercial agents in the castle town. Any merchants who come to his site must obey his rules. Its nature is consistent with that of Sakai Town This kind of organization of the congregation was not tolerated by Kira Yoshitoshi.

In order to eliminate the ills of two-management by the city lords in the castle town of Sakamoto, at the beginning of last year, Kiragi proposed to follow the example of Rokkaku Sadayori. Kannonji Castle Town issued the Rakushi Order to eliminate the privileges of the merchants. This proposal has been repeated by the followers. It was concluded after demonstration and field visits to the castle town of Kannonji Temple.

Of course, the content of the Sakamoto Rakushi Order is different from that of the Guanyin Temple Rakushi Order. The main contents are as follows: [-]. The merchants in the town (in the town) are generally exempted from service; [-]. The customs office in the county is exempted; Exemption of permits; [-]. The boarding house (in the town) for those who return to the merchants to stay in the river, but the permit for allowances is exempted for those below the load;

[-]. Those who go in and out of the place of business, all the servants are exempted; [-]. The county government is accompanying them, but those who come to live in the country are exempted from such matters as protection, borrowing money, borrowing rice, house renting, etc.; [-]. Businessmen who enter and leave the place, bet on buying, messy, noisy, dissenting opinions, endless guards to stop the introduction and persistence;

[-]. Residents of Dangsuo town, family and service (dong don't have money) are exempted; [-]. Boluo's ceremony, cattle and horse sales in the county are known to the imperial Dangsuo, and all things in the township cattle and horse sales are stopped;

The first article, merchants are exempted from general service, and they are exempted from general service conditionally. They can be exempted from general service by providing raw materials for general use. Of course, paying money is also a reason.

The second article is to abolish the customs offices and prohibit the collection of customs money. Since the Yingren Rebellion, there have been so many customs offices in various places. These customs offices are not set up by temples and public forces, or are set up by wealthy clan servants or village autonomous bodies. If there are not many benefits, it will naturally not be encouraged, so this opportunity should be abolished.

The third article actually means the rise of the horse system. Most of the Japanese in the middle ages have not yet developed the habit of using pack horses to transport goods. Ordinary pedestrians are basically carried and carried away. Only big businessmen can afford to buy pack horses, and of course there will be no such thing as a carriage.

Bullock carts can only be ridden by ministers of a certain level. Horse carts have never existed before. The rise of horse service is to encourage businessmen to use horses as a means of transportation. It is best to have horses and carriages. Post stations are built every ten miles for the purpose of accommodation and rest.

Article [-]: Merchants traveling to and from the Lake Biwa Basin are required to arrive at the designated Sakamoto Castle Town to rest. As a discount, as long as you don’t carry many things, the port handling fee will be exempted for goods under one pack horse.

Article [-]: Businessmen traveling to and from the castle town should be exempted from common taxes such as general service tax and city entry tax. Commercial tax and business tax should be exempted conditionally or partially. Doing business here, no one forces you to do something you don't like.

Article [-]. Although the moral government decree in the territory is implemented, the merchants who come and go in the castle town will be protected by the city lord. Some illegal activities such as blackmail, robbery and theft are still considered. If you are caught, you may be beheaded. In addition, you borrow money, rice, or Commercial activities such as renting houses will be exempted from the decree, which means that if you owe money, the decree will not protect you.

The seventh article is the laws and regulations of the castle town. Unfair mortgage sales, chaos, noise, and arguments against the city lord, as long as they are caught, they will send guardian envoys to track them down. Disputes that provoke right and wrong must stop.

Article [-]: The handicraftsmen who move into the hall will be exempted from donbe money conditionally, that is to say, whether you are exempted depends on your contribution to the castle town and your daily credit.

Article [-], Bolao means the sale of cattle and horses. Cattle and horses must be sold at designated places in the castle town. Private sales of cattle and horses are prohibited in the countryside.

These nine articles are mainly aimed at cracking down on merchants who have colluded with temples and the public, and completely abolishing their privileges, forcing them to do business and pay taxes like ordinary merchants. All the privileges of the congregation, and all the commercial taxation powers and administrative decree powers of Sakamoto.

Yoshishi Kira's understanding of the samurai decree was only so-so, and he took a quick look at the details of the Rakushi decree, "Well! It looks very good, so let's do it like this!"

Before returning to Sakamoto Castle, Kansuke Yamamoto approached him and said to him, "My lord! The Shiga and Takashima counties are initially stable, and Miyoshi's family is unable to look eastward. It is time for the government orders of the two counties to be issued. .”

"What decree does the master need?"

"It is the responsibility of guardians to persuade farmers and mulberry trees, promote water conservancy, and stabilize people's hearts."

"Isn't this an order to persuade farmers? No problem, leave it to me."
