Thousands of miles away in Kinai, Kira Manmatsumaru knew nothing about what was happening in Odawara Castle, and after asking for a waiver from Ashikaga Yoshito, Kira Manmatsumaru immediately rushed back to Sakamoto non-stop, spreading the word throughout Shiga Prefecture in the form of a public imperial book, and then appointed Yamamoto Kansuke as the general director of Sakamoto New Town.

According to Yamamoto Kansuke's design idea, Sakamoto New Town will become a new city built by the water, this form of water castle construction can greatly increase the influence of Sakamoto Port, and at the same time echo with the new Nakao Castle being built in the southwest, which is equivalent to the rear point of the shogunate, and at the same time, because it is located near the side of Mt. Hiei, the core area of the Rokkaku family, so that the Miyoshi family is afraid and does not dare to set foot in it easily, so as to ensure the safety of this new city to the greatest extent.

According to preliminary estimates, the amount of money required to build the new city is as high as 8,000 yuan, and the construction period is expected to exceed six months, depending on the actual situation.

Kira Manmatsu Maru recommended Hida carpentry to Yamamoto Kansuke, and sent Yamaoka Zenjiro from Sakamoto Cave to recruit Omi's famous Cave Taizhong, Cave Taizhong has been building palaces and temples for the royal family, ministers and temples since ancient times, and is famous for its superb technology in Kinai, the original Ishigaki construction method, otherwise it is strong and beautiful, Kira Manmatsu Marsumu has been tired of the lime-brushed earthen fortress in Saijo Castle, so as soon as he heard that the daimyo of Cave Taizhong recruited them non-stop.

"The Ina Tadashi family will be the master of the castle building commissioner! There is also Honda Yahachiro, and the knowledge learned in the book always has to be practiced, so the two of them asked the master to be a craftsman. Kira Manmatsumaru didn't care about Kansuke Yamamoto's wry smile, pushed the matter to him, and started to be the shopkeeper himself.

"Oni-chan! Oni-chan! As soon as he returned to the Sakamoto Imperial Palace, he was caught by Katsuhime, and Kira Manmatsumaru could only smile bitterly and hug Katsuhime, who was hanging around his neck as a koala.

"Oni-chan! The leaves here are so beautiful! Isn't the foliage of Kyoto beautiful? Katsuhime is going to Kyoto to see the leaves! Oni-chan ...... "Little Lori pesters Kira Manmatsumaru every time and asks East and West, why is Lake Biwa called Dankai, why is it called here, what is it in Kini, and why is Dorayaki called Mikasa yaki."

Children always have 100,000 whys, why do the stars in the sky blink, why do the rabbits on the moon pound rice cakes, which is more powerful, Kintaro or Momotaro, Katsuhime, who is extremely curious, can always find interesting things, and an ant nest under the tree can also make her squat there and watch all day.

"Your Highness, can we go to Kyoto?" Ah Ju looked at him expectantly, since he came to the Sakamoto Imperial Office, Ah Ju has been very happy in the past few days, probably because he was about to get home.

"Pack your bags, let's go to Kyoto, don't forget to bring the gifts from Omi." He bought a lot of souvenirs in Omi, mainly eel and tea, as well as Mikawa's specialty Mikawa Akamiso, which is made with soybeans from the Yasaki River and sea salt from the Kira family, and is also called Hatcho miso because the original creator was the first to invent it in a village that lived in Hachicho, west of Okazaki Castle.

Owari's famous specialty radish pickles, a one-meter-long radish pickle, are surprisingly delicious, and are also famous in Tokaido and Higashiyamado, and even Kyoto's ministers love to eat them.

Dragging Katsuhime the koala to his temporary residence, Kira Manmatsumaru summoned some of the Mahiro samurai who were guarding the palace, and Saijo and Ho were placed around the soon-to-be-built Sakamoto Castle, both to protect the safety of the wood and stones, and to deter the big merchants in Sakamoto Port, who had always been resistant to the Kira family's new castle, and it was also a big trouble.

After arranging various duties, Kira Manmatsumaru took his relatives and dozens of horseback rides to Kyoto to visit his uncle's Nakain family, although the Miyoshi family succeeded in going to Luo this summer, but the resistance forces in Kinai were completely wiped out, and the Eguchi Battle did not completely solve the problem of Settsu's anti-Miyoshi countrymen, so Miyoshi Nagakei returned to the newly defeated Settsu country with the main force after a short period of Kamiraku to try to digest the newly acquired territory, and the current security situation in Kyoto is far from as critical as imagined.

Kyoto, also known as Heiankyo, is modeled after the Chang'an Castle of the Tang Dynasty in terms of its name and urban construction, with well-organized tic-tac-toe streets and relatively simple drainage facilities, making it a paradise on earth in Japan compared to the dirty and smelly castle towns.

Kyoto's Ou Nei Li sits in the north and faces south like the imperial city of the Central Plains Dynasty, living in the center of the north of the city, a main road in the south is called Suzaku Road, which is also exactly the same as the Suzaku Street in the Tang Dynasty, divided by the center of Suzaku Road, the east side is Zuojing also known as Luoyang, the west side is Youjing also known as Chang'an, and the west side of Chang'an is gradually abandoned because of the influence of wetlands, leaving only the most prosperous area of Zuojing.

The distance between the main roads in Kyoto, whether east, south, or west, is roughly equal, such as one main road and Tsuchiomon Taiji, Konoe Mimon to Nakaomon, and Daiki-gomon to Nijo-doji, and the distance between the two is about 40 kijo.

Regardless of east, west, north and south, the distance of each main road is divided into equal parts, and each of the small roads divides the whole city into independent towns, and every sixteen towns form a unit, which is called "jo" in the east-west direction and "fang" in the north-south direction, which makes each town between the towns have a separate name, and it has gradually become the main source of Miao characters for the public samurai who lived in Heiankyo.

Some of the strips will be multiplied because of different plans, but most of them are still planned, walking on the streets of Kyoto is easy for him to associate with the style of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately there is no chance to see the genuine Tang Chang'an City, Kira Manmatsu Pill can only shake his head regretfully.

There is a history when the capital of Japan did not build a castle wall, as early as the Nara period when Heijokyo was built, the imperial court said that Kyoto was a place where the ministers lived and it was simply fortified, so when Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heiankyo, the castle wall was not built as usual.

The most developed place in Kyoto is still in the area north of Nijo Main Road, the area south of Nijo Main Road has only a small number of nobles settled, and it is an area where commerce and residential buildings are mixed, and the north of Nijo Main Road has gradually become a gathering place for the samurai family, so the development of the whole city shows that the east is heavy and the west is light, and the upper capital is developed and the lower Beijing is relatively backward, especially in the southwest region, a vacancy has been formed, and the development of the city has formed a strange scene of top-heavy.

For this once glorious city, Kira Manmatsumu is a little curious and a little inquisitive, but it is a pity that the largest city in Japan suffered a catastrophe in the Onin Rebellion less than a hundred years ago, although many buildings were rebuilt and renovated, but with the continuous destruction of the war in Kinai, there are still more bars gradually abandoned, which also makes this once glorious city into a ruined scene.

Note: By the way, Ume checked the ancient maps of Kyoto from the Muromachi period and the Edo period, and found many interesting things, such as Honnoji Temple is located in Sakyo in Kyoto Castle, Nijo Castle is also in Ukyo in Kyoto Castle, and on the night of Honnoji Temple, the Demon King and his son died in Kyoto.
