  Chapter 359 62.Perhaps a good tax source

  At that time, all silk merchants in Japan were killed on the spot!

  That who died is called a miserable one! When doing business, there are upstream and downstream businesses. The upstream buys raw materials and the downstream sells customers. This kind of industry can also be regarded as an industry in a certain sense, and the cash flow is basically not too large. The production materials and the huge trade network that are controlled are the real valuable things.

  And the big merchants who have the power to monopolize the operation of silk and silk still need to pay the shogunate every year. Basically, everyone does not have much cash. It is great to have one hundred and two hundred thousand with him, and that's it.

  As a result, they paid the silkworm farmers the money for ordering silkworm cocoons, and also received the deposit from the owners of the Wufu shop downstream. As long as the silk was born, the money could be transferred.

  The mulberry tree will be cut down for you!

  Well, who won’t you die? The entire chain of upstream and downstream collapsed. It's impossible to survive even a day, saying that if you die, you will die immediately.

  The old man Yoshizong Tokugawa is probably a person who dislikes commercial existence very much. He hoped that the whole of Japan would be restored to a self-sufficient small peasant society with men farming and women weaving. All commercial activities should be kept to a minimum. Everyone keeps their duties and the world is peaceful.

  So, not only did he not have the slightest help or disappointment, but he was extremely happy for the sudden death of the silk silk merchant. He wished that this gang of wealthy merchants would die, and if they were all dead, the shogunate would be Antai.

  Of course, reforms like him that do not consider any reality at all, and are completely inconsistent with economic development and the people's pursuit, are bound to be unimplemented.

  It is like he issued the “Order for Prohibition of Sale and Purchase of Land for Eternity” to forcibly fix the self-employed farmers on the land for life and death. The result is that small farmers who are not wealthy have completely lost the possibility of obtaining loans when they need money for minor illnesses and disasters. Immediately because of this order, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out.

  In the end, basically all the decree of Tokugawa Yoshizong collapsed in a short period of time. No decree was useful, and it was completely impossible to implement it. It could only be rushed to the street.

   But since this order has been issued, and the shogunate really has a violent agency to execute him, then I would like to ask you, are there any fools who jump into this fire pit?

   is great, there are really idiots jumping down!

  The profits of the silk industry are really not small. After the "great frugality order" is relaxed, of course some people want to re-enter the industry and engage in monopoly operations.

  Because the mulberry trees on the shogunate were cut down, but the mulberry trees in the Daimyo clan were not cut down. This group of people made a fortune during the time when the raw silk production plummeted, and they were indescribable. There are always people who want to consume silk and silk. The scarcity is the most expensive, and the supply is far less than the demand, but it is not just a huge profit.

  Seeing so many heroes who are not afraid of death, jumped into the fire pit of silk and silk monopoly, then God can't stand it, and wants to help them untie them.

  The lenient policy reform begins!

  The Great Frugality Order has been promulgated again!

  嚯, a generation of famous minister "Prime Minister of Shirakawa" Dingxin Gong, Songping served as the first veteran of the shogunate, and implemented reforms. To restore the entire corrupt world to the "peace and heyday" of his grandfather Yoshizong Tokugawa.

  Congratulations to all the big silk and silk monopoly merchants, you hurry up and die. I am sure that I will not dirty my hands, but I am a Mingjun of the Baihe generation.

  Okay, now in Japan, there is finally no pure fool to jump into the fire pit of the silk industry. Therefore, the silk and silk industry has become a very rare industry in Japan, and there is no industry guild or monopoly of luxury merchants. There are not even big businessmen who are willing to set foot in this industry. Who would have made a stall in this shogunate?

   By the way, the former Tianbao reform also issued a frugal decree, which strictly prohibited the samurai princes from wearing silk fabrics. After the order was issued at that time, the wealthy merchants all over Japan were fortunate that they had not been dazzled by money and jumped into the fire pit to find their own death.

The current silk and silk industry has completely degraded into a small business model. It is also on the Nishijin side of Kyoto. Because there are huge public servants and temple and shrine consumer groups, they can maintain a certain industrial cluster. The silk and silk industries in other places are basically They all degenerate to the way he should have existed.

  Peasants raise silkworms, local rich peasants and landlords reel silk, and there are also small rich peasants and landlords who start weaving silk by themselves. Then they sold the white silk they produced at the bazaar.

  In the future, there will be a place in Tokyo called Shinjuku. It should be a place everyone knows. Shinjuku is located in the middle of Koshu Street. It is now called "Naito Shinjuku". It is not only the Ojuba on Koshu Street, but also an important market where Kaii local specialties are exported to Edo.

   Like cattle and horses produced in Kai, they will be rushed to Shinjuku by farmers to sell them to merchants from Edo. And Hachioji’s silk and silk weavers will also take the white silk they woven to Shinjuku at the big fair.

  Edo’s various Kurefu shops, as well as the bosses of embroidery printing and dyeing shops, will send people to Shinjuku to buy Shirasu. Hachioji’s white silk is considered a primary handicraft product with low added value and low price. When they bring it back to Edo, it will be dyed and embroidered, and they will be able to sell for five times ten times the price.

  Moreover, with this model, the inventory is small, the backlog is small, no advance payment is required, and the products can be changed according to market demand. What styles are popular in Daao, and the next day you buy white silk and embroider some flowers, the merchant can guarantee the quick return of funds ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and can get considerable profits.

   is also a more reasonable mode!

  Under various factors, the entire silk industry maintains this simple mode of operation. The scale of production can not be increased, and the quality of the products has basically not improved. If there is no external force, he may continue to maintain it for a hundred years, two hundred years, and three hundred years without any major changes.

  Even Nagata Chuemon in front of him was comfortable with this situation. The farmer gave him silkworm cocoons at a very low price. He reeled silk and weaving silk at home. A piece of silk ended up selling half a tael of gold, and it was still cash money, which was enough to make him happy. In rural areas where cash is extremely scarce, I don’t know how many things can be done.

  Tadaemon looked at Nagabo Chuemon who returned home, and felt that this might be a good opportunity to reorganize the shogunate’s finances. Continue to earn a breath of immortality for the shogunate for another 20 to 30 years.

  In history, after the establishment of the new government, raw silk was a major item exported by Japan. It's not about one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, but the scale of tens of millions or even nearly 100 million. Japan also gradually became the world's largest exporter of raw silk at the time, and thus obtained the first pot of gold in industrialization.

  We are not going to make this affair to such a large scale all at once, as long as we can create hundreds of thousands of one million more filial piety to the shogunate every year.
