Chapter 60 Stamp Duty

"From today onwards, all deeds signed by merchants in Kai Town can be sent with signatures. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The INFO Office will also make a copy for the record to prevent tampering. In the event of any further such disputes, the remaining disputes shall prevail. ā€

"The proprietor of each commercial house can also go to the office at any time to check the documents related to his house, and even if he is deceived by his subordinates, he can find out in time."

"Both parties need to bring the contract documents to the law enforcement office, and no one can replace them for the time being. Fingerprints, signatures, and engraved seals shall prevail. ā€

"Each deed is printed and signed, and a tax of 2% is charged, and the lower limit is the same. As long as this amount is paid, the other party can be in breach of contract to enforce the required judgment. The official does not specify which party will bear the taxes and fees, but can be decided by both parties through negotiation, or they can jointly spend. ā€

"This matter is completely voluntary, and even if it is unwilling to pay the tax on the printing and signing flowers, the law enforcement office will still enforce the law impartially. It's just that then it will inevitably take some time to search and collect evidence. ā€

"Of course, the power of this family is limited after all, and it is beyond the reach of the affairs of distant countries. Only designated legal transactions within the boundaries of the town can be protected. ā€

"If it's a transaction in the vicinity of Kai Town rather than within the town, you can go to the Izumi Guardian and Heite Supervisor to ask for approval."

Kinoshita Hideyoshi, the Kaimachi commissioner, said 1510 what Hirate Hirate Tsuhide taught him.

When the people on the street heard this, they were moved.

In the past, businessmen only relied on credibility to do business, and risks were inevitable, and there were often cases where they were deceived by signing contracts and running out of money. Nowadays, for only two percent of the money, the name of the Oda family town can be written on the contract, which undoubtedly greatly strengthens the cost of fraud and breach of contract.

Although the power of the Oda family does not spread all over the world, at least for now, it is still the same in the generation. Besides, even if Oda suddenly weakens like Miyoshi, what is the two percent tax?

It should be noted that when a shipload of goods is pulled from Kyushu to Kaimachi, or from Hokkaido to Tsuruga, the customs duties and road money to be paid along the way are at least worth two or three percent of the value of the goods. Counting the cost of manpower and material resources, it is generally necessary to have at least 50% gross profit to do business.

The 2 percent stamp tax is not enough compared to 50 percent of the gross profit.

Most people are secretly thinking about it, thinking that this "printing and signing tax" is very worthwhile.

There are still doubts. Today's "fraud case" seems very reasonable, but it is also developing too fast.

As soon as the two merchants quarreled, they attracted people from the neighborhood, and they immediately brought people to arrive. After understanding the basic situation, the onlookers were almost tired of it, and immediately found out the truth of the matter.

Considering that Tamagoshi Sanshiro and Konishi Yukicho both have the shadow of the Oda family behind them, it is very likely that this matter is just a bureau of money.

However, even if it is a game, it is indeed a win-win situation for each to get what they need. Couldn't fault anything.

Although the Oda family bears the title of "Samurai of the Kanto Countryside", since Kamiraku, although the military is fierce, the discipline is strict, and the disturbance of the people is very rare, which is in stark contrast to the various daimyo who fought back and forth in the previous decades.

Therefore, although Nobunaga and his retainers played the role of a vulgar harlequin in various gossip news and anecdotes, they actually had a good reputation.

Otherwise, the plan of the tie show will not be good at all.

In fact, I don't think I'm acting very well now.

Hirate was now quietly sitting on the second floor of the corner tavern, watching the situation unfold, surrounded by men dressed as townspeople. If measured by his standards, the acting skills of the protagonist in today's scene are obviously too poor. Fortunately, Fan Xiu is more concerned with the result than the process.

The crowd at the street entrance was still talking, and in the middle, Yuyue Thirty Lang beat his chest and feet, patted his thighs and sighed: "Alas! If we can have such a law as soon as possible, I don't know how much less deceived we will be! ā€

And President Konishi also nodded again and again and said, "That's true, it's true." Only pay 2% of the tax, which is really good and cheap. ā€

The former's range of movements and expression and tone are a bit exaggerated. The latter is slightly nervous and emotionally underinvested.

Fortunately, the townspeople of Fuso at this time have not watched movies and TV series, so they are not sensitive to this aspect.

There are also a few who don't care about this, but only notice that the handling of the whole incident and the subsequent policy promulgation are all about Kinoshita Hideyoshi singing a one-man show. As for Imai Munehisa, who was close to Nobunaga and was designated as the "head of the rendezvous of the people", he has always only expressed an attitude of obedience, and only said four sentences in total, namely:

Kinoshita-sama is right. It coincides with you below. ā€

"Kinoshita-sama is absolutely right."

"I think it's best to do what Kinoshita-sama said."

"I don't have any special opinions in the next moment, so I might as well do what Kinoshita-sama wants."

On the surface, it is only a "guide", and it does not interfere with the autonomy of the Huizhong to the Kai Town. But in practice, it's not the same thing at all!

However, Imai Munehisa himself was willing to be a response worm, and other wealthy businessmen were either suppressed or joined in. What can be done about the few middle-class businessmen who care about the status of autonomy?

However, there are still very few people who can see the subtleties. Most small and medium-sized businessmen only have their own business in their eyes. Someone even approached him on the spot and demanded to hand over the money.

"Your Excellency, my business of building a house was signed two days ago, and the ink has just dried up. Is it too late to print the signature flowers? ā€

"Your Excellency, I don't know how much tax I have to pay for the 774-square-run Horiji excavation project? Do you want to round it off? Do I need the other party to be present as well? ā€

"Lord Executive, if the other party insists on not going to the office, can I unilaterally go through this procedure?"

……

The most enthusiastic are several commercial houses engaged in construction and drilling wells. The nature of their business is relatively special, and they often have the situation of settling the accounts after completing the project, and their sensitivity to the contract is the highest. Of course, there may be a few more of them.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi smiled and made a downward motion, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, "How to do it, please move to the office." I have written the rules and hung them in front of the door, and there are two retainers who are in charge of explaining them. ā€

So this large group of men and horses followed him together.

There are few people who really go to do things, but the more and more people gather to see the excitement. There are also spies sent by various wealthy merchants to inquire about the details.

It wasn't until someone came out safely holding the official note that someone gradually followed suit.

First the builders, and then after the news spread, people from the house, warehouse rental, and pawn industries also immediately came to go through the procedures. And then there are grain and seafood merchants, who also need to do some pre-orders or pre-sales.

From noon to evening, the institute went through the process of printing and signing flowers more than 70 times on the first day, and collected 360 yuan in taxes and fees.

However, most of the wealthy merchants who were listed in the "Thirty-six Members" did not participate in it, and only a few who actively expressed goodwill to the Oda family sent people to respond to the policy. Their business often involved distant daimyo or Nanban, and even the Oda family at this time did not necessarily have the strength to govern it.
