Before the official consignment of the Shogun, Hirate first ordered his subordinates to designate a series of draft decrees, which were to be published gradually and in due course as a future governing strategy.

First of all, in order to inform the people of the end of the troubled times of the Warring States and the advent of a new era, many matters such as "land inspection", "separation of Shinong", "four people's identity system", "human sweeping order", "sword hunting order", "noisy two successes and failures", "question note assessment implementation", "city building and abandonment order", "pirate prohibition", "thief capture and payment" and many other matters were written into writing. In fact, these are not new things, and most of the residents of and Kanto have already experienced it, and the western country, Kyushu, and Tohoku are relatively old-fashioned, but they should have heard of it.

What we need to do now is to seize the dominant position in governance as a central power.

The whole of the decree is concentrated in three areas.

First and foremost, it is necessary to carefully check the specific number of people and land in various places, eliminate the situation of concealment and concealment, and then on the basis of this number, arrange appropriate taxes and servitude, or other corresponding obligations, not only to prevent local power from concealing its strength, but also to prevent excessive oppression from arousing public indignation.

If possible, all the registered households will be naturalized according to a similar classification method as "Shinong Industry and Commerce", and there are different management methods. However, status is not always the same, and regular "scholar-taking" activities will attract a small number of elites to the ruling class, while farmers, industrialists, and merchants are allowed to report their own changes if certain conditions are met. Only a society that is generally solidified but leaves a small upward channel can be more stable.

As for the loopholes of the ministers and monks, they were deliberately put aside for the time being.

It is estimated that it will take at least three to five years to complete the census and statistics within the sphere of direct influence. I am afraid that the implementation of the Daimyo Domain is not optimistic. At that time, the draw plans to use some gray means appropriately to encourage the disclosure of the phenomenon of concealment, and after the investigation is discovered, half of the public will be collected and half of the reward will be given to the whistleblower.

Second, the second aspect is to prohibit fighting. Whether it is the mobilization of troops between the daimyo to attack each other, or the private fight of the grassroots samurai, the nature is the same, and it is handled with the purpose of "making noise and losing it".

It means that in the event of bloodshed, regardless of the merits, fifty boards will be played on each side. Then investigate the specific cause. The party with greater responsibility will impose more penalties, but the other party will not necessarily receive compensation. Because once you resort to force, even if it makes sense, it becomes unreasonable.

The only exception to this is if your castle or yashiki is attacked, you can return fire within the walls. Therefore, at the same time, it was stipulated that each daimyo was not allowed to build additional castles without permission, and that the existing ones were inspected to see if they were necessary to exist and whether the local daimyo had the financial resources to maintain them.

All disputes can only be submitted to the "question and comment" personnel sent down by the Tie Family according to the regulations. We want to fight, not fight.

This policy is definitely not new, and any monarch with the slightest idea of centralization will obviously prohibit private fighting and appoint a court of justice. In fact, the Muromachi shogunate also has it, but they are congenitally bad, and they directly let the powerful daimyo from all over the country serve as the central position, which is equivalent to letting star players work as referees, and the more chaotic it will be.

Therefore, Heide decided early on that "feudal lords should not participate in auxiliary administration" and that "local officials and the central government should be independent of each other."

The last third aspect is not to face the foreign daimyo with legal status, but to eliminate those who take advantage of the troubled times to enjoy themselves outside the law. It is aimed at the great thieves and evil parties of the Wuthering Heights and forests, and the pirates and water thieves who come and go without a trace.

Some of these people rob merchants and extort the people every day, and that's not bad. Some of them have become large-scale, and even set up private checkpoints, and collect a fixed amount of "protection money", and have already had the most basic prototype of political power, and many of the Sengoku daimyo who now seem to be serious have made their fortunes by relying on this to finally wash their hands - that is because the Muromachi shogunate is too weak to control the place at all.

Now that we want to "reform the old and bring forth the new," these "dynamic social organizations" that have seriously affected the operation of grassroots political power are bound to be uprooted.

The tie gave two paths: either accept the recruitment, break up the connection and send it to the troops in various places, or lay down the arms and become a common man to make a living by farming, fishing, and hunting. Otherwise, you can only fight boldly, and compete with the regular army to see who is more powerful and able to fight.

……

These measures, which have not yet been officially announced, were written in detail and handed over to Yoshimitsu Hirade, who was in Ou Town, and then the second generation passed on the spirit of the measures to many local forces as a request for them.

was originally a thick pile of documents, but it was temporarily ordered by Fan Xiu to be the "Draft of the Quiet Order of the World".

The result may be that the name is too long, and it is simply called "Taiping Order" by people who know the inside story. Then Hosokawa Fujitaka felt that this was too vulgar and unliterate, and suggested that it be changed to "Yanwu Order".

Hearing this, Pingshou Fanxiu expressed his appreciation, and the word "Yanwu Xiuwen" is an allusion to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, with far-reaching meanings and auspicious signs. And generally uneducated people can't understand what it means, and they seem to be full of force.

Eventually, on August 17, Yoshimitsu met with 29 representatives of the Ou region at Toshoji Temple near Sendai to divide the territory and announce various prohibitions.

The 50,000 troops in the, Hokuriku, Kanto, and Tokai regions were not allowed to oppose anyone, and all of them were forced to submit to them.

Then we returned to Kyoto.

After more than ten days, after the father and son met, Fan Xiu asked, "Have the Ouyu daimyo ever been convinced?" ”

Yoshimitsu replied, "The Tsugaru clan was treated favorably because of karma two years ago, and the Soma clan was able to continue under the Date army; The heads of the Onodera and Tozawa families do not seem to have much ambition to be satisfied with just preserving their ancestral property; Ashina and Dahoji had seen my family's military might in the Kanto region and had no courage to resist. Otherwise, everyone else is afraid that they will be secretly in trouble! ”

Fan Xiu stroked his beard and smiled, "You should now understand the reason why you can't do your best to appease them." ”

Yoshimitsu sighed: "Yes, land is limited after all, and everyone is not satisfied, so what can I do!" I thought that the troubled times would be completely stable, but what is going on? ”

Fan Xiu meaningfully quoted the scriptures: "If you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish." Then he was born in sorrow and died in peace. Thinking of Henkel from afar, he called Anbang, and there was still no rebellion among the kings of Han, Peng, Ying, and Zang, not because he lacked talent and morality, but because the troubled times had been going on for a long time, and the people's hearts were uneasy. ”

Yoshimitsu nodded thoughtfully.

……

From June to October, after more than 100 days of hard work, before the Hirate Honhideto returned to Kyoto, he ordered the renovation of Nijo Castle left behind by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, turning the original site into a new castle that did not consider the defensive function at all, but only cared about comfort and pomp - to be exact, it should not be called a new castle, but rather a garden or a palace.

On the outside, the symbolic horigou, stone wall, and arrow turret are retained, but the interior is not set up with a winding and narrow passage through the tiger's mouth, but a spacious and spacious scene with an unobstructed view. The building is modeled after Kyoto in the Heian period, and is full of Tang style, and a large area is planned to be left as a pond, rockery, and pavilion.

It was here that Heite Honhide accepted the honorific titles of "from a left minister" and "the shogun of the Seiyi" and "the pillar of the samurai family", and he officially became the new lord of the world.

The second generation of Meyimitsu, after a few days, became "from the three powerful people", and got the rest of the "town guard general" service from his father.

From now on, these two titles will be equivalent to the symbols of the heir to the Heishogunate.

In order to witness such an event, daimyo from all over the world gathered in Beijing one after another to express their sincere congratulations to the new "Gongfang Lord". Even if some people were absent for various reasons, they all sent important relatives as representatives.

In order to welcome and boast of his financial resources, Hirate Honshu ordered a tea party on an unprecedented scale, with an expected number of 40,000 people setting up a curtain of dozens of towns in the southern suburbs of Kyoto, so that visitors from all over the south of the country gathered together to laugh at the past grievances.

During the tea party, Sekihaku Kujo Kaneko privately conveyed the meaning that "the imperial court completely agrees to the implementation of the samurai official position system". And then just in time to make the good news public.

Pingshou told the princes everywhere: As long as everyone is qualified to attend today's tea party, they can at least be added from more than five official positions, and this is not completely fixed. If the merit is outstanding and recognized by the shogunate, even the unrelated foreign feudal lords will have a chance to reach the level of three.

This is much more than saying things like "I will depend on you for many years, and I hope to continue to work hard in the future".

Those who heard it all cheered.

Especially the kind of person who has dominated one side for many years, but has never had the energy to go to Kyoto to carry out activities, and has always been a white daimyō.

As for who holds what official position, it will be clearly pointed out in the "Laws of the Martial Family" after the year.

At that time, the division of identities and daily rights and responsibilities of all samurai families in the world will be specified in detail.
