The most regrettable thing this time is that I didn't see Katsuhime, because the distance from the Konoe family was shortened to a stone's throw away, and the Konoe family sent more than a dozen female officials to teach Katsuhime knowledge and etiquette in one go, and the tension and pressure of the days were much greater, and Kira Yoshitoki waited for several days to get the opportunity to meet Katsuhime.

As a result, he found out that he was going to be disappointed when he entered the Nijo Imperial Palace, but as Katsuhime's brother, he could only be a few meters away, listening to the voice of the little Lori under the cover of a cloth curtain, Katsuhime spoke softly, and there was no lively tone at all, and it was obvious that her words and deeds would be influenced by the senior female officials on the side, and this change made Kira Yoshitoki only sigh a few times.

It is impossible for him to find a reason to deal with all the strict female officials, one Awan may be excusable, but what should many Awan do? He didn't know what to say, so after leaving Katsuhime an elaborate bamboo flute and a lot of pastries made by Aju himself, Kira Yoshitoki could only say goodbye.

Back to Sakamoto City, the New Year's party of the Kira family will also be held as scheduled, and Takigawa Shiyi, who is practicing outside, returns again, this guy has been staying in the treasure courtyard to learn gunmanship for half a year, and he has been following the monks and soldiers all day long, which also makes him a little more fierce, originally Ji Liang Yi thought that he could learn a little Buddhism from this big mountain of the Faxiang Sect, a little more elegant and calm, but now it seems that he is still too naïve, this guy still looks like he has no heart and no lungs.

Shima Toki Katsu has been staying by Kira Yoshitoki's side as the head of the horse group, he was left in Sakamoto Castle to continue to complete the practice, in addition to receiving Watanabe Takatsuna's spear skills teaching on a single day, and Naito Masari's archery teaching on a double day, he also took time to study the military strategy notes and various military books that Yamamoto Shikoshi lent him to read, for which Kira Yoshitoki could only envy, he could not worship his retainers as a teacher, and could only salivate at the encounter near the island left.

Ben Toshimasa's life has also changed with the continuous changes of Sakamoto Castle, on the surface he maintains a smart and strong appearance, the biggest change is that he has a lot more smiles on his face, and the increase in the number of laughs has also gradually softened his words, he used to like sharp words, and his calculating temperament has gradually changed, so many people count him as the most changed, probably because smart people know how to adapt to life better.

After the New Year, Honda is turning fourteen years old, whether in China or Japan in ancient times, this age is about to embark on a critical year of adulthood, seeing Kira Yoshitoki's weight of several guys younger than him growing up one by one, Honda is suddenly finding that his pressure has become greater.

In addition to habitually running to Yamamoto Shiyuki to ask questions about the east and west, I don't know when it started, he went to Hosokawa Fujitaka and other officials to follow the help, and his responsibility was to go down to the castle town and Sakamoto Port, collect and record the feedback of the Rakushi Order in Sakamoto Port Town, this job was done by him like a fish in water, and he could find something suitable for himself to prove himself, so that he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

There is also good news, the very stubborn Honda Tokimasa has given up the faith of the Ichiko-sect, and the Rinzai sect of Myoshin-ji sect, which is converted to the faith of the Kira family, may be due to his frequent contact with cultural people, but also makes him gradually change in the other direction, and the Mikawa local dialect is no longer very audible, and he always reports to Kira Yoshitoki in a non-standard Kyoto accent.

For nearly a year since Yoshinori Kira lived in Sakamoto, he has repeatedly invited the monks of Myoshinji Temple and Daitokuji Temple to preach Buddhism with several reserve teams, and in this year or so, not only the number of followers of the Tsuyoshi sect in the Mikawa clan has decreased sharply, but even the two reserve teams in Omi have also increased many followers of the Myoshinji sect.

They received a large amount of bounty from the victory, so that these low-class ashigaru from peasant families could live a good life, and when Kira Yoshitomi learned that peasants in this era generally did not marry until the age of thirty, he began to think about how to solve the dilemma of the people of Mikawa who were like rootless duckweed.

More than half of the Mikawa people were trained by Yamamoto Kansuke himself, and he still had considerable influence on this group of people, and Kira Yoshishi meant to let Yamamoto Kansuke be a matchmaker to solve the worries of this group of people, so Yamamoto Kansuke began to walk the streets and alleys to make a marriage agency, and dig out his mind to ask for a daughter-in-law for the singles of the Mikawa people.

Daughters-in-law have a ready-made choice, the widows in Shiga and Takashima counties who lost their husbands due to the Fukakusa War are the best choice, the poor class of Japanese in the Middle Ages lived in poverty, and the widows' living conditions were even worse, and these poor women who lost their men often had to face bullying by gangsters, and some were even abducted and trafficked to remote villages to live a terrible life.

They received a bereavement compensation from the Kira family, but there were no men to keep the hard-earned money that they had earned in exchange for human lives, and now with a group of young men from Mikawa, this last hidden danger in society was also blocked, and the group wedding of more than 2,000 people was prepared in only two months under the instructions of Kira Yoshitoki.

On December 1, the 19th year of Astronomy, Sakamoto Castle held a banquet to celebrate the union of more than 2,000 couples, because there were many widows and few men, and some men also married two widows, and the samurai of Mikawa, who were accustomed to fighting in blood and fire, also began to look forward to a happy life in the future.

These widows basically marry with oil bottles, and these women are easily captured by young men who are strong and strong after the baptism of marriage, not only let these guys find a spiritual harbor, but also more than half of them have a bunch of sons and daughters who have changed their surnames as soon as they get married, and these guys are happy every day and can't close their mouths.

This incident was not only strongly supported by Yamamoto Tokiyuki, but also received general support within the Mikawa people, except for the samurai who had married and had children, such as Ina Tadada, Watanabe Takatsuna, and Naito Masanari, most of the rest were still singles, in order to appease the married samurai, Kira Yoshitoki ordered their wives and children to be brought to Omi to live, and promised that their children would be out of the Shijira family.

The combination of the Mikawa samurai and the Omi widows was called by Hosokawa Fujitaka as the unfathomable strategy of the Yamamoto Sado Temple, which solved the psychological and physical problems of the Mikawa people, and also used the influence of the widows from Omi Province to take root in the soil and gradually spread the influence of the Rinzai sect, and the religious composition of the Mikawa samurai changed significantly.

According to the statistics of Hattori Baochang, in the past six months, more than ninety percent of the followers of the Ichizawa sect of Mikawa have been converted, and only a small number of stubborn people are also trying to convince them, presumably they will soon be able to directly subordinate the legion to the sect.

Ishiyama's Honganji Temple has been hit by the Yamashina Honganji burning incident, and the desire to attack is far less strong than the rampant Kaga Ichijangsu, but Kira Yoshitoki has to worry about the influence of the Ichijangji, and Ichiyiyi is a dark cloud hanging over the heads of all the samurai, and he will not forget the fragment of his memory, there are many people in the retainers of the Kira family who believe in the Ichijo sect, if this problem is not solved well, he, the family governor, is dancing on the edge of the fire pit, and an internal rebellion can make the retainers fall apart.

Came to Kyoto, after nearly half a year of governance, Ashikaga Yoshito has been quite a generation of British lords, Kyoto because of the Ise Sadataka rebellion was killed and lost management, at the suggestion of Kira Yoshitoki, Kyoto was set up to manage Kyoto government affairs, and the first generation of Kyoto was held by Mibuchi Harumoto, under his management, Kyoto's public security deteriorated for the better, all industries recovered, and the population also increased significantly in half a year, and the position of deacon of the former government office was replaced by Settsu Harumon, and the Ise family, which had been active in the Muromachi shogunate for hundreds of years, declined.
