Toradaka Toudaka suddenly wanted to abandon the Toudo clan and change his original name to Mitsui Toraka. This would cause him to face a new problem, how to arrange the head of the Mitsui family. Fortunately, Yasutaka Mitsui was very considerate of Mitsui Toraka. , took the initiative to give up the position of leader of the Mitsui family, and his own family continued to be a branch of the Mitsui family.
Mitsui Torakaka did not embarrass Mitsui Yasutaka, and voluntarily gave up the territory of Kowaki Castle and Mitsui Township. Those territories had been abandoned by him and now he was embarrassed to come back. He took his wife, children and family and moved to Sakamoto Castle. He became a direct retainer of Kira Yoshitomo, and the conditions given by Kira Yoshitoki were not bad, with an annual salary of one hundred guanfu and support for three people, and his position was assigned to the prosecutor.
Hosokawa Fujitaka was very competent as the castle agent. The development of Sakamoto Castle can be said to be prosperous. The city has expanded a lot in the past six months. Hosokawa Fujitaka told him that Sakamoto Castle would be renovated and continued to be renovated on the basis of the original stone wall. , he tore down the original stone walls and rebuilt them into new-style stone walls, which were stone walls. The new stone walls in the third grade of high school were much stronger than the previous earthen walls. According to him, the rebuilt new Sakamoto Castle would be even more beautiful.
"After many discussions, my ministers and others feel that the town that connects Sakamoto Port and the castle town should be demolished. This part of the town does not have a unified plan and it is difficult to fit in with the castle town. In the early stage of the development of Sakamoto Port, it was built haphazardly and lacked planning, and the roads between the towns were congested. They are connected to each other, and there are many dead ends that seriously affect traffic. According to my investigation, it is known that since the establishment of Sakamoto Port nearly a hundred years ago, there have been three major fires and nearly a hundred small fires in Sakamoto Port. If the Sakamoto Port town and port are not rectified, If a fire breaks out, it is easy to burn down the castle town." Hosokawa Fujitaka said eloquently.
"Is the phenomenon of random construction so serious? It does seriously hinder the development of Sakamoto... I understand! Is this why you have been debating for so long to withhold this Wanguan? What is the approximate budget?"
"It is estimated that the renovation cost will be around 2,000 kan. It is mainly to rectify the messy town in Sakamoto Port and make further planning. The total budget of 3,000 kan should be enough."
Kira Yoshitsune didn't know much about urban planning, but he had seen what Kyoto looked like. The urban style of the Jobo system was similar to that of Sakamoto Castle, so he nodded and said: "Then the castle town should be renovated according to the Jobo system as soon as possible! Also, Le The city magistrate should come up with the regulations as soon as possible, and there should be a result after this long delay."
"My minister is about to report this matter. The Rakushi Order has been officially confirmed after more than two months of trial implementation and will be officially implemented on February 1st." Hosokawa Fujitaka took out a pleading from somewhere and handed it over respectfully.
The primary purpose of the Sakamoto Raku City Order was to abolish the monopoly privileges of Zasho. Zasho was originally the manager and the largest commercial agent in the castle town. Any merchant who entered his territory must obey his rules, which is similar in nature to Sakai Town. Organizations similar to those in the congregation were something Kiragi could not tolerate.
In order to eliminate the shortcomings of dual-headed management of castle owners in the castle town of Sakamoto, Kira Yoshi proposed at the beginning of last year that Kannonji Castle Town, following the example of Rokkaku Sadeyori, issued a city order to eliminate the privileges of the castle merchants. This proposal has been repeated by the public. It was concluded after conducting demonstrations and on-the-spot inspections of Kannonji Castle Town.
Of course, the content of the Sakamoto Raku City Ordinance is different from that of Kannonji Raku City Ordinance. The main contents are: 1. Exemption of general petitions for merchants in local (town) offices; 2. Exemption from official duties in the county; 3. Horse transmission Exemption from permission; 4. Businessmen traveling to and from the river can stay in a hotel (within the town), but those who carry goods below are exempt from the permission to pay;
5. Businessmen who come and go in and out of their respective places will be exempted from service; 6. The moral administration of the county will follow, but those who come to live in the country will be protected, borrow money, rice, rent housing, etc., and service will be exempted from service; 7. The merchants who come in and out of the place, bet on purchases, make a mess, make noises, have different opinions, and have unreasonable guards to lead them in, and the stubbornness will not stop;
8. If you are a local citizen, you will be exempted from serving your family (paying money to each other); 9. As a courtesy of Bo Lao, if you know the cattle and horse sales in the county, you will be able to serve in your office, and all cattle and horse sales in the countryside will be stopped;
Article 1: Merchant's exemption from general service is a conditional exemption. If you provide raw materials for general service, you can be exempted from general service. Of course, the same is true for paying money.
Article 2: Abolish the gatehouses and prohibit the collection of gate money. Since the Onin Rebellion, there have been so many gatehouses in various places. These gatehouses are either set up by temples and public forces, or they are set up by wealthy local ministers or village autonomous bodies. The lords take the money. Naturally, it will not be encouraged if there are not many benefits, so we should take this opportunity to abolish it.
The third article actually means the rise of the horse system. Most Japanese in the Middle Ages have not developed the habit of using pack horses to transport goods. Ordinary pedestrians are basically carried by people. Only samurai or samurai of the wealthy family level or Only big businessmen could afford to buy a packhorse, and of course there was no such thing as a carriage.
Ox carts can only be ridden by ministers who have reached a certain level. Horse carts have never existed before. The purpose of promoting horse riding is to encourage businessmen to use horses as a means of transportation. It is best if you own your own horses and carriages. If not, you can rent them. At the same time, they must be re-established. Inns were built every ten miles or so for accommodation and rest.
Article 4: Merchants traveling to and from the Lake Biwa Basin are required to rest at the designated Sakamoto Castle Town. As a discount, as long as you don’t carry many things, port handling fees will be waived for goods that are less than one packhorse.
Article 5: Merchants traveling to and from the castle town, common taxes such as general service, city entry tax, etc. should be exempted. Commercial tax and business tax are conditionally exempted or partially exempted. This is a problem for Hosokawa Fujitaka, which means to calm down. When doing business here, no one forces you to do something you don't like.
Article 6: Although the moral decrees in the territory are implemented, merchants traveling to and from the castle towns will be protected by the city lord. Some illegal things such as blackmail, robbery and theft are still considered. If you are caught, you may be beheaded. In addition, if you borrow money, borrow rice, or Business activities such as renting houses will be exempted from the German government decree, which means that if you owe debts and repay money, the German government decree will not protect you.
Article 7 refers to the laws and regulations of the castle town. If anyone is caught with unfair mortgage sales, chaos, noise, or arguments against the castle lord, a guardian will be sent to investigate. Any disputes that cause right and wrong must stop.
Article 8: Handicraftsmen who move into the hall will be exempted from the transfer fee conditionally, that is, whether they are exempted will be considered based on your contribution to the castle town and your daily credit and other behaviors.
Article 9: Bo Lao means cattle and horse trading. Cattle and horses must be sold at designated places in the castle town. Private sales of cattle and horses are prohibited in the countryside. This is to prevent profit-seeking farmers from flowing cattle and horses out of the country, and to avoid tax evasion and supervision.
These nine articles are mainly to crack down on merchants who collude with temples and the public, and completely abolish their privileges, forcing them to do business and pay taxes like ordinary merchants. All previously privately formulated rules are invalidated, and everything must be obeyed by him. In essence, they are completely abolished. All the privileges of the congregation were combined, and all commercial taxation powers and administrative decree powers were seized from Sakamoto.
Kira Yoshitsune's understanding of the samurai laws was only average. He took a rough look at the detailed provisions of the Leshi Order and said, "Well! It looks very good, so just follow this!"
Before they could rest at Sakamoto Castle, Yamamoto Kansuke came over and said to him: "Master! Shiga and Takashima prefectures have initially stabilized. The Miyoshi family is unable to travel eastward. It's time to issue decrees for the two prefectures."
.”
"What kind of order does the master need?"
"It is the guardian's responsibility to encourage farmers and mulberry trees, promote water conservancy, and stabilize people's hearts."
"Isn't this an order to encourage farmers? No problem, leave it to me."
