Those who know the Warring States of Japan may know that after dealing with the army of the Imagawa family, Oda Nobunaga immediately began to attack his brother-in-law's territory, Mino, but before I talk about this thing, I want to talk about the social changes in Owari between Nobunaga's succession as the governor of the family and the battle of Barrel Sama, because I think it is interesting.

After the Inayu group, Oda Nobunaga did a very great thing.

I haven't used the word great before, unless it's great.

Owari was in the reform and opening up, and the chief architect of the reform and opening up was Oda Nobunaga.

Japan's Warring States is a rare troubled time in the world, the whole of Japan is so big that the place is divided into sixty-six countries and two islands, what Mino ah, Mikawa, Owari ah, are all one of the sixty-six countries, do you think, you should have had your own student days, right, a class of sixty-six students did not have any big mess, the head teacher is not easy to manage, if there are one or two thorns, it will be very difficult, it is obvious that Japan's sixty-six countries are thorns, that kind of chaos is very scary to imagine.

Today you cut me with a knife, tomorrow I will be injured and kick you, there is no basic friendship and trust between people, so the various daimyo are quite conservative to the outside world, and the implementation of the policy is: set up all kinds of roadblocks, restrict the circulation of people. Prevent spies from other countries from infiltrating your territory.

The history of world development tells us that this is a very nonsense, useless, cost-effective policy, which makes the circulation of commodities extremely difficult, and the cost of circulation sometimes reaches dozens of times that of the commodities themselves. Marx once said: If capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged. Well, although Japanese businessmen didn't have any concept of capital at that time, but if they are rich, they are not businessmen, and if they have money, they are businessmen? As a result, countless businessmen have cleared the method of collusion between officials and businessmen to transport goods, and there are countless businessmen who cannot collude with officials and businessmen, so they can only do one thing that has existed since ancient times, "smuggling" (it is estimated that Uncle Dao was a smuggler in his early years). In troubled times, the increase in the crime rate is obviously not a big deal, and the major names have to get by. But can this kind of roadcar really stop spies from other countries? We have seen a lot of agents in modern movies, they are all the kind of bullies and cool bombers, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of our dynasty, due to the existence of this kind of roadcard in Japan's Warring States, ordinary people can't get by, but ninjas can, how can that kind of chengguan-level combat power put this low-IQ roadcard in their eyes. As a result, many daimyo began to cooperate with the ninjas...... So this is a very nonsense policy, and it has no other purpose than to solve the employment problem of local civil servants (Luka needs to be managed).

The first step of Oda Nobunaga's reform and opening up was to abolish this policy in Owari, and for the pragmatic Nobunaga, the existence of such a policy was simply an insult to the intelligence of Yoshi-shiro's children. Owari is located in the middle of the island of Honshu, with to the west, the Seto Inland Sea, and Kanto to the east. All in all, it is a transportation hub, and after the abolition of the checkpoint system, trade is mundane, and the merchants make money while also creating a lot of tax revenues, as for what those spies should do, just don't bother Oda Nobunaga to collect taxes......

Along with Oda Nobunaga's abolition of the checkpoint system, Nobunaga implemented the "Rakuichi Rakuza" system, which originally belonged to the official commercial establishments and priced goods, while the "Rakuchi" abolished the market tax and commercial tax of ordinary merchants, and the "Rakuza" abolished the privileges of the "za". Therefore, the explanation of "Leshi Leza" is to use the economics I learned in college to explain: tax cuts, market economy. Facts have proved that the market economy is still very useful in the era when commerce is not very developed.

The wheels of history roll forward. To quote a quote from the opening animation of Age of Empires III: thenewworld...... drivetoconquer…… Times have changed.

Nobunaga certainly wouldn't have had the new ideas of the 20th century's isms, but curiosity was enough to change a lot of things. When the tributary system in the Far East gradually collapsed, creation was the way forward, and I think this is why the core word of "Nobunaga's Ambition 14" is "creation".

Nobunaga did not understand the market economy, but Owari's business prospered because of him. While the economy was booming, he also carried out a series of military reforms.

Separation of soldiers and peasants: This is a very awesome thing, at least in ancient times, there were not many people who really did this, and perhaps there were not many farming civilizations that did this. In ancient times, there was no technology, and there was nothing to **, just eat enough, you need to farm to eat a full meal, you need a strong man to farm, and you need a strong man to fight a war. The question then arises, how to wage war on the premise of guaranteeing the harvest.

Not to mention the small size of Japan, it has always been hit by earthquakes and tsunamis. In fact, it is quite miserable, under normal circumstances, there is no famine in a year, and it is guaranteed that no one will starve to death. For such an area, it is impossible to maintain a standing army to fight, and if you farm the land, you won't starve to death, and you have to look at the sky, if you don't farm the land to find someone to fight, isn't that nonsense, so each daimyo has no standing army except for his own few flag books (equivalent to the pro-guards), and Imagawa Yoshimoto's so awesome fat man has to mobilize before going to Kyoto for a tea party, and to put it bluntly, he asks the peasants to take knives and cut people. Oda Nobunaga wanted to have a standing army, so one day Nobunaga proposed the "Sword Hunting Order", which is the literary name for the separation of soldiers and peasants. Since there was no series of contraceptive measures in ancient times, it was common for a family to have several children, and in any case, multiple children had more pairs of chopsticks, and the cost of living was not as great as it is now. In order to reduce the internal friction of social resources, Nobunaga proposed the "Sword Hunting Order", the eldest son of the family can farm at home, but other boys need to join the army. At the same time, it could improve the combat effectiveness of the army through daily training, so Owari had the first large-scale standing army in the history of the Warring States period.

What is this, this is "creation".

Why do many college graduates like to go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou now, because it is open, there are opportunities, and there are dreams. Owari is opening up and advancing, so many young people in Japan who are eager to make a difference go to Owari.

One day, at the market in Owari, Nobunaga met a small merchant selling needlework and thread, and the two of them bragged about not paying taxes anyway.

This small businessman is called Kinoshita Toyoshiro, also known as Hashiba Hideyoshi, and also known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he is a man who is eager to make a fortune, so he came to Owari ......
