Chapter 82: Molong's New Deal

In addition to the reward that everyone is most concerned about, Tsukahara Molong once again finalized the establishment of the city in the small gold city, although the scale of the small gold city is not large at the moment, but it is the key point of the lower head country and even the entire Kanto, the transportation is convenient, although the soil is not too suitable for farming, but Tsukahara Molong did not plan to live by farming from the beginning. Of course, the taxation of the fields still accounted for an important part in the future, but it was too affected by the seasons and was not conducive to conquest and attack, so Tsukahara Moryu's national policy was mercantilism. Whether it is the Suiyun House that travels to and from Kai Suruga or the Sanjoya in, it is not on Tsukahara Moryū's own turf, and it is inevitable that he will be subject to many constraints, which is unacceptable to Tsukahara Moryū. In order to stimulate the commercial development of the three countries, Tsukahara Molong directly ordered that no more toll taxes would be levied, only transaction taxes would be levied, and the tax rate would be much lower than that of the surrounding daimyos, and at the same time, the monopoly and monopoly organizations would be abolished and free industry and commerce would be encouraged. As soon as this order came out, everyone immediately looked at each other again, and they were all people who had run their own territory, so they naturally knew what this order meant. It means that in the short term, the financial income of the Tsukahara family will drop sharply, and at the same time, it will be difficult for the Tsukahara family to obtain financial support from them, so where will Tsukahara Molong make up for this shortfall? Only a few people were shocked, but their eyes lit up, and the gaze that looked at Tsukahara Molong became different again.

During the Warring States period in Japan, although the social status of merchants was still not very high, they were the masters of money in their hands, and they were also an important channel for the circulation of materials. Therefore, the vast majority of samurai would not be so blind to provoke merchants, especially the merchants, who made huge profits through monopoly operations, but were business leaders, and they did not nod their heads, and many things were very inconvenient to do. But Tsukahara Molong's hand touched their fundamental interests, not to mention anything else, it is certain to add blockage to Tsukahara Molong.

However, Tsukahara Molong is not too worried about this, the best way to deal with merchants is still merchants, the Kanto region is still much inferior to after all, whether it is population or degree of development, so it is difficult for the wealthy merchants of Kanto to bargain when they fight with the merchants of. Tsukahara Moryu had already connected with the merchants of the realm through the three tsunamotos, and informed him of the policy of abolishing the organization, which immediately won the applause of the merchants of the realm. In fact, this time Tsukahara Molong returned to Kanto and launched two major battles one after another, although it did not consume much food because of the short time, but after all, it was still a huge expense, and this cost was precisely caused by the merchants of the world and Sanjoya and Shuiyunya. In exchange, the merchants had the right to enter the Kanto region. But a businessman is a businessman after all, although throwing money at Tsukahara Molong seems to be a good potential investment, but no one will press all the treasures, but after Tsukahara Molong has completely established the hegemony of Kanto through the two major battles, it also has the value of the full support of the merchants in the world. So for the future commercial development of the Kanto, Tsukahara Molong is really not worried, after all, in these years, the richest people in Japan are the merchants of the world and the merchants of Hakata, with their large-scale attack, the local merchants of the three countries are no longer happy and have no spare strength to trouble Tsukahara Molong. After all, you don't want to sell things, and there are merchants in the world who are willing to sell, so it's a big deal to let them open a branch in Kanto. In addition to the merchants of the world, the merchants of Koshin, the merchants of the East China Sea, and the merchants of Hokuriku actually had contact with Tsukahara Ink Dragon through the Mizuyunya and Sanjoya, and as soon as a local monopoly like Zaza was banned, these merchants would flock to it like sharks that smell blood. Not only them, but even the merchants of the other five countries in the Kanto region may not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, and the dead friends are not dead and poor, anyway, you can't make a fuss, rather than let those outsiders get rich, it is better for us Kanto merchants to make money.

However, since the development of commerce, the land cannot be thrown away, after all, people still have to eat. The amount of money determines how large an army Tsukahara can mobilize, but the amount of food determines how long he can fight. Although the Hojo family was now crippled by him, the Tsukahara army, which had suffered heavy casualties, did not have much food and could not continue to attack Sagami or Musashi. This limited the expansion of Tsukahara's Moryū victory. Because the management rights were deprived from the hands of the wealthy family, Tsukahara Molong was not worried about the development of private land, on the contrary, he also vigorously encouraged this kind of behavior, first of all, to carry out the land inspection work within the Three Kingdoms, except for the samurai, as many land as you detected, it will be yours, and will not ask for the co-ownership, those who remind the people of the bandit country who are afraid to live in the mountains As long as they open up land in the mountains, they will also recognize your ownership of the land, as long as the personal land does not exceed 200 stones, they will not be deprived of the right to manage. Of course, you can continue to open up the land, and you don't need to pay taxes in the first year of the newly opened land, 10% in the second year, 20% in the third year, 40% in the fourth year, and 50% in the future. In the future, the implementation of the five public and five civil system will be the five public and five people's system, not that Tsukahara Molong does not want to learn from the Takeda family's six public and four people's system or the Hojo family's four public and six people's system, but both families have their own considerations. The Takeda family had the support of Jinshan, so they had abundant financial resources, but the stone was not high, and in order to raise grain and grass for the war, they had to maintain a high tax rate, and at the same time, due to the high tax rate, if the Kai people did not go to war to earn extra money, it would be difficult to survive, so as to stimulate the expansion of the countrymen. The Hojo family is an outsider, not too popular with the local wealthy families in the Kanto region, and has a strong desire to expand, and will be beaten by groups many times, in such a situation, it is undoubtedly very important to maintain internal cohesion, so it is understandable that the four princes and six people. Tsukahara Molong was born in the Kanto Ashikaga clan, and was ordered by the shogun to control the Kanto, so the local wealthy families are not too resistant to the rule of Tsukahara Molong, and the land in Kanto is fertile, the terrain is flat, suitable for farming, and the people rely on the land alone to support themselves, although it is said to be the eastern country of the samurai, but it is difficult for the people to launch their foreign wars after they are rich enough, so Tsukahara Molong adjusted the tax to five princes and five people, which not only made the people not live too embarrassed, but also gave them a hope to improve the quality of life. In this way, those who have the strongest endurance and the least want to fight will honestly farm the land, and those who have blood and courage will join the army, and those with flexible brains will go into business.

However, Tsukahara Ryū's land seizure policy was born out of the method adopted by Nagano Yoshimasa when he formed the Minowa Clan, but Tsukahara Muryu improved it and spread it to the Three Kingdoms in a grand manner. As long as this order continues, a large part of the unstable armed forces in the territory will choose to support Tsukahara Molong, after all, most people are as long as they can live, who wants to live a life of licking blood with a knife?

After pacifying those civilian armed forces and encouraging them to reclaim wasteland and raise the height of the stone, Tsukahara Moryu once again issued a new order: Sword Hunting Order! The person with the knife in his hand is a danger factor after all, so Tsukahara Molong very decisively issued an order to collect civilian weapons, so that the tactics of carrots and sticks make Tsukahara Molong minimize resistance when consolidating his rule in the territory. The weapons collected serve other purposes. That is the "separation of soldiers and peasants" after the sword hunting order.

Although Tsukahara Molong doesn't have too much money in his hands at the moment, it is almost impossible to raise tens of thousands of standing troops with money like Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi did in history. But raising a standing army does not necessarily require money, the same can be done with land, most of the more than 14,000 people who survived at the moment have their own fiefdoms, all of them are samurai class, although most of them are low-level samurai, but there is no pressure at all to organize them as a standing army, after all, you are my retainer, it is normal to make you a battle sequence, as for you feel that you are a samurai and should command others, then wait until you make greater contributions.

A series of policies make people feel dizzying, and the three views have been seriously challenged, but even the most conservative people feel that if these policies are really implemented, the Tsukahara family will reach a terrible level. This series of policies was later called: Molong's New Deal.
