Pillars of the Wu family

The Leshi Order still caused some problems, including merchants, local wealthy families, and nearby Tiantai sect believers expressed dissatisfaction to varying degrees. Fortunately, the measures taken by the followers were in place, and they were fully prepared after several months of trial implementation. , Everything passed without any danger.

At the first small evaluation in early February, Yoshito Kira immediately announced a new order to encourage farmers. The main content is to encourage farmers to mulberry, promote water conservancy, borrow grain, and loan farm tools. Farmers only need to return it when they pay the annual tribute in autumn harvest. The decree also advocates intensive farming and gradually abolishes the habit of rough farming.

Regarding the determination of specific regulations, Yoshitoki Kira conducted in-depth discussions with Kansuke Yamamoto and a group of adherents. After many days of debate, he finally came up with an order to persuade farmers that Yoshitoki Kira advocated. In addition to regulatory regulations, there are also A special addition is made, and it is recommended to plant two crops of rice and soybeans in spring and autumn. Taking these two crops as the new second-phase crop is also the core content of this farmer's advice.

The second phase of work, also known as Er Maozuo, has gradually formed this agricultural system since the Kamakura period. At the same time, it is also an agricultural technology from the Song Dynasty. It has only been spread by unprofessional farmers and has become another look. Simply put, Kamakura The ermao crop handed down from the times is to grow rice for one season, and then randomly plant some grains. How much you can harvest depends on God's care.

This is a behavior that is neither scientific nor a waste of land fertility. It is really hard to imagine that Japan has survived for thousands of years under this semi-feudal and semi-serf system. Compared with the farmers in the Heian period, the living conditions of farmers at this time It is basically similar in appearance, and the technological gap accumulated over hundreds of years has also been exhausted with the frequent exploitation of wars.

The busy days passed quickly, and soon came the evaluation meeting on February [-]. Kira Yoshishi announced a new order to encourage farmers. The local people in Shiga and Takashima counties responded enthusiastically, while the response from Mikawa's retainers was relatively cold. The full-time samurai ate the grain of the Kira family and received the annual salary of the Kira family. They didn't have to care about the harvest in the fields, and they lived comfortably in the drought and flood.

A native of Takashima County asked: "My lord, what is the method of building water conservancy?"

"The construction of water conservancy mainly revolves around the repair and reinforcement of the embankment along the Azumi River between Shiga and Takashima counties. Every spring and summer, the heavy rain comes with the monsoon from the Pacific Ocean and causes a large number of natural disasters. When a flood breaks out, if the embankment of the river is not strong, it will wash away the farmland and bring huge disasters to the farmers, so the family decided to levy general labor to repair and strengthen the embankment in sections after the spring sowing." Yoshitoki Kira patiently explained.

In the middle ages, Japan’s agricultural technology was backward, and the exploitation of farmers was harsh. [-]% of the land rent plus various tax and fee apportionments only provoked the Somura Group’s Doichi Kui. Large-scale peasant uprisings never happened. It has to be said that it was under the feudal system. It is a miracle that the central court dynasty in the centralized system has absolutely no good fruit to eat.

Peasants are not afraid of tyranny and exploitation. If the lord is ignorant, they don't need to stand up. The servants of the wealthy clan will be the first to stand up and make a fuss. What they are afraid of is floods and droughts.

The evil is a reduction in grain production, and the big one is a large reduction in production or even no harvest. At that time, the lord will not be able to survive even if the peasants are exempted from the annual tribute of the year. Therefore, when it comes to water conservancy projects, these wealthy families are the most active. As long as the weather is good, the farmers do not make trouble. Mutual development is the best choice.

"Okay! This topic is passed, let's move on to the next topic, money and goods exchange!" Yoshitoki Kira ended the topic with a final word.

"Money and goods...exchange?" Both the retainers of Sanhe and the people of Jinjiang were ignorant, what is exchange?I have never heard of it before, and Kansuke Yamamoto was a little skeptical for a while, and he was used to Kirayoshi often throwing out new concepts, but I don't know what the concept is this time.

"I don't understand? In layman's terms, it is the exchange of money for money and money for Yongle. Of course, it is not that simple. You also know that Kinai is the most trusted place in the world. I, Sakamoto, was also influenced by Kei Kyoto and became Hokuriku, Yamanashi There are many merchants coming and going between Yin and Shangluo in the north of Yin and Sakamoto, but it is really troublesome to not have a currency exchange point for the circulation of goods between the north and the south, so the family decided to set up a money house to specialize in money and goods exchange."

"Oh! That's right!"

"This should be the house owner's internal affairs? I don't really understand these issues!"

"That's right! The owner of the museum can decide for himself!" A group of retainers shouted, isn't it just to set up a money house?If there is anything to say, if the owner of the museum agrees, it will be established, and they agree with both hands.

"Hehe, of course, this matter itself has nothing to do with you, but the next thing is still related to you. My family wants to issue a money writing order. In the future, the currency exchange within the two counties must be exchanged at the money house. The king is still the family members of the kings, the family, the retainers, and even the farmers in the territory, the townspeople in the port town, and the merchants who pass through the border are all included in this rank."

Soon, some retainers shouted: "Isn't it just to exchange money for money and Yongle money? Anyway, An only has money for money and there is no need to exchange it, hahaha..."

"Idiot! Don't be disrespectful in front of the owner!"

Zanqianling and Qianya are a hand played by Yoshihiro Kira. Zanqianling is not a new thing. Although there are no merchants who specialize in Qianya, as long as this trend continues, families like the Mitsui family will continue to have two replacements. How could he give up such an opportunity to make money by making a fortune and finally becoming a super family across modern Japan.

Kinki benefited from the Kanhe trade and obtained an excessive amount of Yongle money, which depreciated the value of the original Yongle money, which made the original Yongle money several times the value of Ji money, which was resisted by the residents of Kinki. For this reason, since the ninth year of Mingyu , The shogunate issues an order to write money every year, the intention is to prohibit the private casting of local daimyo's coins, and to ensure that the value of the Yongle coins transported by the shogunate from the Kanhe trade will not be depreciated.

However, the shogunate's approach did not ensure the self-regulation of economic behavior in the market. Excessive Yongle money and Song money that had been preserved for hundreds of years were mixed in the market, making it very difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. Some hard-to-distinguish qi money was issued as taxes and fees, and treacherous businessmen would also use low-value qi money to repay the arrears, and it was precisely because of this that many civil litigation disputes arose.

In order to solve this contradiction, Yoshitoki Kira decided to carry out a new reform on the basis of the order of making money. First, he ordered Duanqian, Dongbetsen and other taxes to be paid on the basis of Yongleqian. Various commercial taxes such as money, rent money, soil warehouse service, allowances, etc. are also paid on the basis of Yongle money. At the same time, townspeople are encouraged to refuse the money and take the money in their hands to the money house for exchange.

At the same time, taking advantage of the convenience of Sakamoto Castle as an important port in the Biwa Lake area leading to Kyoto, a money house was set up in Sakamoto Castle, and all kinds of money were exchanged into Yongle money through floating ratios. Many Xiaohama merchants had to carry Yongle money in and out of Sakamoto Castle.

While obtaining a large amount of Yongle money in taxation, they were exchanged to the townspeople at a floating rate. The merchants exchanged various miscellaneous coins, as well as damaged Song coins and Ming coins. To formulate the price comparison, Matsui Tomokazu invited Sakamoto merchants to cooperate. After negotiation, the temporary price is determined according to the fineness and appearance of the copper coins, and at the same time, the actual situation of the coins and Yongle coins circulating in the market, as well as the conditions of the coins stored in the money house, are also considered to adjust the exchange rate appropriately.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this decree, Yoshitoki Kira went to Kyoto to meet Yoshito Ashikaga in person, and told him the direct impact of the money selection order and the regulation of the money and goods market on the public security in Kyoto, which was unanimously approved by the shogunate. Please aim at the Yamashiro State to issue a money-making order, and Matsui Yukan's elder brother, Matsui Masayuki, will be the person in charge of the Kyoto area, and will be responsible for implementing the decree to the merchants in Kyoto.
