Chapter 145: Money Writing Order (Second Update)

The order still caused some problems, including the merchants, local wealthy clans, and nearby Tiantai sect believers all expressed their dissatisfaction to varying degrees, but fortunately, the measures of the followers were in place, and after several months of trial trials, all preparations were fully made, and everything was spent in danger.

At the first small assessment in early February, Kira Yoshishi immediately announced a new decree on advising farmers, the main contents of which were to persuade farmers to grow mulberry, develop water conservancy, borrow grain seeds, and loan farm tools, and the peasants only need to return the annual tribute when they pay the annual tribute in the autumn harvest.

After many days of debate, Yoshitoki Kira had an in-depth discussion with Kansuke Yamamoto and the members of the Shokan Sho Executives, and finally formed an agricultural advice that generally revolved around Yoshitoki Kira's proposal.

The second phase of the crop, also known as Ermaozuo, has gradually formed this agricultural system from the Kamakura period, and it is also the agricultural technology that came from the Song Dynasty, but it has been spread by unprofessional farmers, and has become another look, simply put, the Ermaozuo that has been handed down in the Kamakura era is to plant a season of rice, and then scatter some grain, how much can be harvested depends on the care of God.

It is really hard to imagine that Japan has survived for thousands of years under this semi-feudal and semi-serfdom system, compared to the peasants of the Heian period, the living conditions of the peasants at this time were basically similar, and the scientific and technological deficit accumulated over hundreds of years was also exhausted with the frequent exploitation of wars.

The busy days flew by, and soon it was February 10th, when Kira Yoshitoki announced a new agricultural order, and the local people of Shiga and Takashima counties reacted enthusiastically, and the reaction of the Mikawa retainers was relatively cold, they were all off-duty samurai, and they ate the grain of the Kira family and received the New Year's salary of the Kira family, and they did not have to care about the harvest in the fields, and the days of drought and flood were very pleasant.

A native of Takashima-gun asked, "Lord Pavilion! How to build a water conservancy method? ”

"The construction of water conservancy mainly revolves around the renovation and reinforcement of the embankment along the Azumi River between Shiga and Takashima counties, and the heavy rains that come with the monsoon in the Pacific Ocean every year cause a large number of natural disasters, and the Azumi River floods every year during the flood season, and if the river is not strong, it will wash away the farmland and bring great disasters to the farmers, so the family decided to renovate and strengthen the river embankment in sections after the spring sowing." Kira Yoshitoki patiently explained.

In the Middle Ages, Japan's agricultural technology was backward, the exploitation of the peasants was strict, and the sixty percent land rent plus various taxes and fees were only one of the things that provoked the village group, and large-scale peasant uprisings never occurred, which had to be said to be a miracle under the feudal system, and the Zhongyuan Dynasty in the centralized system had absolutely no good fruit to eat.

The peasants are not afraid of harsh government and exploitation, and if the lord does not know each other, they do not need to stand up, and those wealthy land attendants will be the first to stand up and make trouble, what they are afraid of is floods and droughts, these two abnormal weather can easily evolve into murderous and even big murders.

The murderous work is a reduction in grain production, and the big murderous work is a large reduction in production or even a complete harvest, and the lord will not survive even if he exempts the peasants from the annual tribute of the year, so when it comes to repairing water conservancy, these wealthy families react most positively, as long as the wind and rain are smooth, the peasants do not make trouble, and the lord is at ease, and it is the best choice for everyone to develop in harmony.

"Good! Even if this topic is passed, move on to the next topic, money exchange! Kira Yoshitoki ended the issue with one final word.

"Money goods...... Exchange? "Whether it is the retainers of Mikawa or the people of Omi, they are ignorant, what is exchange? I've never heard of it.,Yamamoto Kansuke was also a little skeptical for a while.,Kira Yoshitoki often throws out new concepts and he's used to it.,I don't know what kind of concept it is this time.。

"Don't understand? Generally speaking, it is the exchange of iron money and Yongle money, of course, it will not be so simple, you also know that Kinai is the heart of the world, and my Sakamoto corner also benefited from the influence of Kyoto, becoming Hokuriku, San'in and even the northern port of Yuo Kamiraku, there are many merchants between Sakamoto, but the circulation of goods in the north and south without a currency exchange point is really a troublesome matter, so the family decided to set up a money house, specializing in the exchange of money and goods. ”

"Oh! That's right! ”

"This should be the housekeeping of the hall master, right? I don't know much about these questions! ”

"That's it! It's good for the owner to decide for himself! "When a cadre of retainers shouts, isn't it just to set up a money house? If there is anything to say, the owner of the hall said that it would be set up, and they agreed with both hands.

"Hehe, of course, this matter itself has nothing to do with the monarchs, but the next thing is still related to the monarchs, the family wants to issue a money writing order, and the currency exchange within the two counties must be exchanged at the money house in the future, whether it is the monarchs or the families of the monarchs, a family, retainers, and even the peasants in the territory, the townspeople in the port town, and the merchants in transit are all in this ranks."

Soon, some retainers shouted: "Isn't it just to exchange money and Yongle money?" Anyway, An only has money in his hand and he doesn't need to exchange it, hahaha......"

"Stupid! Don't lose your honor in front of the owner! ”

Although there is no businessman specializing in money houses, as long as this trend continues, a family like the Mitsui family will make a fortune with two opportunities, and finally become a super family across modern Japan, how could he give up such an opportunity to make money.

benefited from the exploration trade and obtained an excessive amount of Yongle money, which caused a large depreciation of the originally precious Yongle money, so that the original Yongle money was several times the value of the Yongle money was resisted by the people of Town, for this reason, since the ninth year of the Ming Dynasty, the shogunate will issue a money writing decree every year, the intention is to prohibit the local daimyo privately minted iron money, to ensure that the shogunate from the Kanai trade to transport the value of the Yongle money will not be devalued.

However, the shogunate's approach did not ensure the self-regulation of economic behavior in the market, and the excessive amount of Yongraku money and the Song money that had been retained for hundreds of years were mixed in the market, making it very difficult to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood.

In order to solve this contradiction, Kira Yoshitoki decided to carry out a new reform on the basis of the money writing order, first ordering that all taxes and fees such as dan money and Tobetsu money should be paid according to the standard of Yongle money, and that various commercial taxes such as land money, betsu money, dokukura, and tsu materials in Sakamoto Minato Town and Joshita Town should also be paid according to the standard of Yongle money, and at the same time the townspeople were encouraged to refuse the money and exchange the money in their hands at the money house.

At the same time, taking advantage of the convenience of Sakamoto Castle as an important port to Kyoto in the Lake Biwa area, a money house was set up in Sakamoto Castle to exchange various types of iron money for Yongle money at a floating rate, so that merchants traveling to and from Omi and Kohama merchants on the other side of Lake Biwa had to carry Yongle money in and out of Sakamoto Castle.

In addition to obtaining a large amount of Yongle money in taxes, he also exchanged them for various miscellaneous coins, as well as damaged Song and Ming coins, and Matsui Yushi invited Sakamoto merchants to jointly negotiate and determine the price according to the fineness and condition of the copper coins, and at the same time, he also adjusted the exchange rate appropriately taking into account the actual situation of the iron coins and Yongle coins circulating in the market, as well as the situation of the iron coins stored in the money house.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this decree, Kira Yoshitoki personally went to Kyoto to meet with Ashikaga Yoshito and told him about the direct impact of the money selection order and the regulation of the money market on the security of Kyoto, which was unanimously approved by the shogunate.
