    The Leshi Order still caused some problems, including merchants, local wealthy families, and nearby Tiantai Sect believers who all expressed dissatisfaction to varying degrees. Fortunately, the adherents¡¯ measures were in place, and after several months of trial implementation, they were fully prepared.  , everything passed without any danger.  At the first small assessment in early February, Kira Yoshihiro immediately announced a new order to encourage farmers to grow mulberry trees, promote water conservancy, borrow grain seeds, and loan agricultural tools. Farmers only need to return them when they pay annual tribute during the autumn harvest. At the same time,  The decree also advocates intensive farming and gradually abolishes the original habit of rough farming.  Regarding the decision-making of specific provisions, Kira Yoshitoki held in-depth discussions with Yamamoto Kansuke and Ichigan Fushou. After many days of debate, they finally formed a farming order that was roughly based on Kira Yoshitoki's advocacy. In addition to the regulatory provisions, there were also  A specially added item is recommended to plant rice and soybeans in spring and autumn. Using these two crops as new second-phase crops is also the core content of this agricultural order.  The second phase of farming, also known as Ermao farming, has gradually formed this agricultural system since the Kamakura period. It is also an agricultural technology passed down from the Song Dynasty. It was just spread by unprofessional farmers and became something else. To put it simply, Kamakura  The second-rate work handed down from the era is to plant rice for one season, and then plant some grain randomly. How much you can harvest depends on God's care.  This is an act that is both unscientific and 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. Compare the farmers in the Heian period and the living conditions of farmers at this time.  Basically similar, 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 the evaluation meeting on February 10th arrived. Kira Yoshihi announced a new order to encourage farmers. The local people in Shiga and Takashima counties responded enthusiastically, while the Mikawa retainers responded relatively coldly. They all  The retired samurai ate the food of the Kira family and received the annual salary of the Kira family. They did not have to worry about the harvest in the fields, and lived a comfortable life despite droughts and floods.  A native of Takashima County asked: "Master! May I ask how to build water conservancy projects?" "The construction of water conservancy projects mainly focuses on the renovation and reinforcement of the embankments along the Azuma River between Shiga and Takashima counties. Every year,  In spring and summer, heavy rains come with the monsoon from the ocean and cause a lot of natural disasters. Floods occur every year in the Azumi River. If the river bank is not strong, farmland will be washed away and bring huge disasters to farmers. Therefore, we decided to  After the spring sowing, we will call for general labor to repair and strengthen the river embankments in sections." Ji Liangyoshi explained patiently.  Medieval Japan had backward agricultural technology and harsh exploitation of farmers. 60% of the land rent plus various taxes and fees only provoked the soil of the Socun Group. Large-scale peasant uprisings had never occurred. This has to be said to be the case under the feudal system.  It is a miracle that the Central Court dynasty under a centralized system will never reap any good fruits.  Peasants are not afraid of harsh government and exploitation. If the lords are ignorant, they do not need to stand up. Those servants of the wealthy families will be the first to stand up and make a fuss. What they are afraid of is floods and droughts. These two abnormal weather conditions can easily turn into violent crimes or even serious disasters.  The most dangerous thing is a reduction in grain production, and the most serious thing is a large reduction in production or even no harvest. At that time, the lord will not be able to survive even if the farmers are exempted from the annual tribute. Therefore, when it comes to water conservancy projects, these wealthy families respond most positively. As long as the weather goes well and the farmers do not cause trouble, the lord will feel at ease and everyone will be in harmony.  It is the best choice to continue to develop in harmony.  "Okay! Even if this issue is passed, let's move on to the next issue, money exchange!" Yoshiki Kira ended this issue with a final word.  "Money and goodsexchange?" Both Mikawa's retainers and Omi's people were confused. What is exchange?  He had never heard of it, and Yamamoto Kansuke was a little skeptical for a while. Kira Yoshi often threw out new concepts and he was used to it. He didn't know what the concept was this time.  "Don't understand? In layman's terms, it's the exchange of Gou money and Yongle money. Of course, it's not that simple. You all know that Kinai is the most trusted place in the world. I, Sakamoto Isumi, have also been affected by the influence of Kyoto and have become Hokuriku, Shan  There are many merchants traveling to and from Sakamoto from the northern entrance and exit ports of Yin and Uao Kamira, but the lack of a currency exchange point for the circulation of goods from the north to the south is really troublesome, so we decided to set up a money house to specialize in currency exchange. " "Oh.  "That's right!" "This should be the house owner's internal affairs, right? I don't know much about these issues!" "That's it!" A group of retainers shouted.  Money house?  If there is anything to say, the owner of the museum agreed to set it up, and they agreed with both hands.  "Haha, of course, this matter itself has nothing to do with you, but the following thing is still related to you. We are going to issue a money order. From now on, currency exchanges within the two counties must be exchanged at the money house.  You are also your family members, clan, retainers, and even the farmers in your territory, the residents of the port town, and the merchants passing through the border.?They are all in this category.  " Soon some retainers started shouting: "Isn't it just to exchange Ju money and Yongle money?  Anyway, An only has money in hand and doesn¡¯t need to exchange it, hahaha" "Idiot!  Don't be disrespectful in front of the owner!  ¡± The money-writing order and the money house are a card played by Kira Yoshitsune. The money-making order is not a new thing. Although there are no businessmen who specialize in money houses yet, as long as this trend continues, families such as the Mitsui family will continue to grow for two years.  He took the opportunity to make a fortune and eventually became a super family that spanned modern Japan. How could he give up such an opportunity to make money? Kinki benefited from the Kankai trade and obtained an excessive amount of Yongle money, which caused the original precious Yongle money to depreciate significantly.  Yongle money, which was originally worth several times the value of Go money, was resisted by the people of Kinki town. For this reason, starting from the 9th year of the Meiji era, the shogunate issued a money order every year. The purpose was to prohibit local daimyo from privately minting Go money and ensure that the shogunate would follow the survey.  The value of Yongle money transported by trade was not devalued. 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 retained for hundreds of years were mixed in the market, making it very difficult to distinguish authenticity.  , some residents will take out some hard-to-distinguish fake money as taxes and fees when paying annual contributions, and treacherous businessmen will also use low-value money to repay debts. It is precisely because of this that many civil litigation disputes have arisen  In order to resolve this contradiction, Kira Yoshitoki decided to carry out a new reform based on the Zen Money Order. First, he ordered various taxes and fees such as Duan money and Tobetsu money to be paid in Yoraku money, and the localities in Sakamoto Port Town and Castle Town were  Various commercial taxes such as sub-money, kabetsu-mo, Tokura service, and Tsumugi are also paid in Yoraku-mo. At the same time, the townspeople are encouraged to refuse Komo-money and take the Komo-money in their hands to exchange it at the money house. At the same time, Sakamoto Castle is used as Lake Biwa.  With the region's convenient access to Kyoto's important ports, a money house was set up in Sakamoto Castle to exchange various kinds of money into Yongle money through floating rates. This way, merchants traveling to Omi and the Obama merchants on the other side of Lake Biwa could  They had to carry Yongle money in and out of Sakamoto Castle. While receiving a large amount of Yongle money for tax purposes, they also exchanged them with the townspeople at a floating price. Merchants exchanged them for various miscellaneous coins, as well as damaged Song money and Ming money. The price comparison was established.  Matsui Yuxian invited merchants from Sakamoto to jointly discuss and determine the temporary price according to the fineness and appearance of the copper coins. At the same time, the actual situation of the gold coins and Yongle coins circulating in the market, as well as the situation of the gold coins stored in the money house, will be appropriately adjusted.  Exchange ratio. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this decree, Kira Yoshitoki personally went to Kyoto to meet with Ashikaga Yoshit¨­ and told him about the direct impact of the money selection order and money market regulations on the security of Kyoto. This was unanimously recognized by the shogunate. Kira  Yoshitoki immediately asked Yamashiro to issue a money-writing order, and Matsui Yuzuru's brother Matsui Masayuki was appointed as the person in charge of Kyoto, responsible for implementing the law to the Kyoto merchants?¡ª?PS: The protagonist¡¯s farming society is different, everyone.  You will know after reading it, and then you will know that asking for votes for each chapter will be more effective.
