Hearing Yoshida Shoin's words, Tademon knew that Hagi was sure that he had not dealt with the bad debts. If the government is connected with people, and all industries are waiting to be promoted, I am afraid that there is no such thing as the intention to fall back.

Sugiyuri coughed softly, which probably signaled Yoshida Shoin to stop talking. As a Maori retainer, there is indeed something wrong with a member of the foreign feudal clan, who is still the banner of the Tokugawa shogunate, discussing matters in the Maori family.

But Yoshida Shoin glanced at his father, then at Chuemon, after a short pause, after all, he continued to speak to Chuemon.

"Murata Oribe is not very popular in the domain..."

really!

Chungemon knew it well, and as expected, the so-called four powerhouses in the Southwest had no internal agreement at all. The contradictions of all classes are huge, and the conflicts within the domain can only be transferred by launching a war against the shogunate.

"But is it because of Murata Oribe's reforms?" Tademon asked knowingly, but it wasn't for Yoshida Shoin to say a few more words.

"Exactly!"

The situation of the Mori family of the Hagi clan was actually not much different from that of the world's daimyos and the shogunate. The increasingly proliferating samurai population has exceeded the limit that can be supported by the output of the feudal clan. At the same time, the shogunate consumes the financial resources of the feudal clan through attendance account and labor enlistment, so that the foreign daimyo has to step up the search and capture the internal to support the feudal clan Samurai and respond to the needs of the shogunate.

This led to the Maori family eventually owed a huge debt of up to 90,000 silver coins!

Perhaps 90,000 Kan is not understandable, because the currency was repeatedly recast at the end of the Edo period, and the content of gold and silver coins was greatly adjusted and changed many times, and the exchange ratio between the two fluctuated. But taking an intermediate value, roughly speaking, Japanese silver can always be exchanged for 17 taels of Japanese gold.

That is to say, the Maori family owed a huge debt of up to 1.53 million taels of gold twenty years ago!

It should be noted that the Maori family is different from the Shimadzu family. The Shimadzu family itself has a stone height of 770,000 shi, which is more than twice that of the Maori family. Moreover, the Shimadzu family also owns the right to supply sugar, a competitive product that is very tight in the Japanese market, and merchants in Osaka and Edo begged Shimadzu to sell the goods.

In addition, Shimazu Shigeho, the predecessor of Shimazu, performed harem politics. Not only did he marry his daughter into the Ooku, but also through active childbirth, in a short period of time, his son inherited more than five famous families, including the famous Kuroda family in foreign samples. In fact, they were all inherited by the Shimadzu family. He also married a large number of daughters and got several son-in-laws of Songping.

With both valuable sugar cargo and huge political influence, the Shimadzu family could only borrow five million taels of gold in the end. And the Maori family can owe 1.53 million taels, and everyone knows that the Maori family is great.

With such a huge debt, the annual interest rate alone is as high as 300,000 taels of gold. Under such circumstances, the Maori will either reform their laws or wait for death, and there will be no other way out.

The upper-class feudal vassals who had been opposed to change before, and even the Maori feudal lord himself, were eventually educated by reality, breaking their spine and pinching their noses to make changes.

No one really thinks that the Maori people are willing to reform, do they? Is he determined to overthrow the shogunate? What did he think about, he didn't want to overthrow the shogunate at all, just because of the Miao character Tokugawa sitting on the throne of General Zhengyi. If it is replaced by gross profit, you can see his attitude.

And more importantly, even if the shogunate is overthrown, can his Maori family be the general of the shogunate? Obviously it is almost impossible. Under such circumstances, the Maori family, from the head of the family to most of the samurai retainers who can still get a certain salary, is actually thinking about maintaining the original state, the shogunate system, the highest samurai, for thousands of years!

But this isn't the case for being poor. In desperation, Maori Kay finally used Murata Qingfeng to carry out reforms. The purpose of the reforms is not to make the country rich and strong, not to overthrow the shogunate, and not to respect the king and push the barbarians. These are the small group of lower-level samurai in the future, and they are only a handful of people in the Hagi domain, plus the ideas of the wealthy businessmen and peasants who are getting rich and seeking political power.

At that time, the Maori family only hoped that Murata Qingfeng could increase the income of the Maori family and make up for the deficits of the upper-level vassals and the Maori family members who had nothing to do with them!

So Murata Qingfeng was able to come to power, the first thing to do when he came to power, strengthen the monopoly right!

On the one hand, it vigorously oppresses the farmers, on the other hand, obtains benefits through monopoly. After barely scraping up enough interest to pay the creditors, he blatantly tore up all the IOUs, and Guangxiang, the Institute for Research and Research, had no shame in refusing to pay the debts. The principal amount of more than 1.5 million taels was only repaid 20 or 30%, and it was not paid off in one lump sum, but in 37 years.

Like Tiaosuo Guangxiang, Murata Qingfeng doesn't have too many commendable reforms. After putting Wupi and Xiaolian to the extreme, hey! Found that people are really shameless, invincible in the world!

The foreign debt of more than one million yuan is almost gone, but as long as the current situation is maintained, then the Maori will still form a deficit, and the deficit will continue to grow. So what should I do? It's still very simple.

Farmers are like sesame seeds, the more they hold, the more oil they produce!

Ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes!

The former superior samurai, who has been a master for a long time, didn't know whether it was a real kindness or a false kindness. Or to put it more directly, I only have the idea of ​​stabilizing the overall situation in my mind. The common people made a little fuss and opposed land seizure or something, and this matter passed. Murata Qingfeng and Tiaosuo Guangxiang are very good at selecting lower-level warriors who have nowhere to go for a lifetime to work directly in the village.

It's not to prevent you from making trouble, but you said bad things about my Murata Qingfeng, then congratulations and kill your family!

It's so powerful, it's such a big batch, as long as my big knife is fast enough, I can definitely squeeze out all the oil and water in your bones.

In addition to tax increases, of course, all the old routines are also repeated. Anyone from the daimyo to the samurai must be frugal when issuing a frugal order. New clothes are not allowed to be purchased during the New Year. There is also stepping up smuggling with North Korea, trying to cultivate cash crops such as tobacco and cotton, and so on.

Anyway, they are all ready-made ~lightnovelpub.net~ There is no new idea at all. However, this person is cruel to others and to himself. Although he holds Hagi Fan's money bag, he does not touch him a single bit. He made clear accounts for every penny and posted them on the notice wall under the castle of Hagi.

Even though he has been in power for 20 years, his family is still poor, and he can't find his mistakes even if he wants to find him. It's really too clean.

On this basis, Murata Qingfeng helped the Maori family pay off 6,900 guan silver foreign debts in two years, making the Maori family almost no longer burdened with any foreign debt. So he was able to reject all opinions and began a large-scale use of lower-level samurai and promoted them to various positions in the feudal clan.

This is also the inspiration for Yoshida Shoin's "Rise of Reckless Recklessness" in the future, but it's all about it. It is purely that the upper class warriors look down on him, and the lower class dared to kill people.

The samurai of the lower ranks are all his knives, and the poor are left with a bad life, and it is not that Murata Qingfeng said that he would kill anyone!

What I didn't expect was that Murata Qingfeng suddenly fell down today, which is amazing. Those upper-class warriors who were squeezed out, as well as the Maori family members and relatives, were all about to move. You have all suffered a stroke, how can you deal with political affairs? Anyway, the finances in the feudal clan have recovered, and you can sue the old man and return to his hometown. We will do the rest for you.
