Chapter 2178 Flower War (eighty-six)

Three days ago, Nick's fleet was attacked by pirates. After the rest, the admiral ordered to move forward. This time, there were significantly fewer civilian ships accompanying him. Nick can imagine that they intend to pay tribute to the pirates in exchange for a safe passage. The right of passage over the sea, unless the Qing navy annihilates or defeats them.

  How to write a memorial may give the Admiral a headache. The emperor didn't want to see his invincible army being attacked by pirates. Although they didn't lose, it was enough for the emperor to send troops.

   The premise is that the Qing Empire still has enough money and manpower to eliminate pirates while eliminating the White Lotus Rebellion.

   Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not continue his dream of a new order in East Asia while taking into account the chaos of domestic security, so he issued a sword hunting order and confiscated all the weapons in the hands of farmers. Although ostensibly because he ordered the prohibition of piracy, it was actually to prevent the occurrence of "Yi Kui", the word for the peasant uprising, and among the Japanese pirates there were many bankrupt peasants themselves.

  After confiscating all the weapons, Toyotomi Hideyoshi used these metals to make the nails needed to build the Great Buddha Hall of Fangguang Temple.

Under the support of the Great Temple in Kyoto, the very small Fangguang Temple actually hides so many secrets. In addition, after the end of the related war, Tokugawa Ieyasu has determined the name of the vassal, the name of the genealogy and the name of the external appearance. The feudal lord Mori was reduced after the defeat, and he was a follower of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Tokugawa Ieyasu needed to guard against the daimyo, and they were even fewer than the fiefs of the Satsuma feudal who were also daimyo.

The peasant uprising in Japan, like the peasant uprising in Europe, is usually small in scale and difficult to compare with the peasant uprising in China. The salary received is rice. Except for part of their own lives, the rest are exchanged for money. In the life of Edo-town people, people cannot avoid the problem of "rice" and "money". The shops engaged in this industry are called " Rice asks the house", Nick also dealt with them.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, he first unified the weights and measures, and then carried out the "Tai Pavilion inspection", which not only obtained the amount of land, but also determined the quality of the land, water use, whether it was twice a year, so as to facilitate the use of land. The taxation standard for per mu production is established, which is called "Shi Gao". For those who reclaim the wasteland, recognize their ownership, which is mainly to restore the abandoned farmland after years of war, no matter who the original owner of the land is, Toyotomi Hideyoshi tries to revive the village in this way.

  The daimyo no longer has the ownership of land, only the land produces products, such as the ownership of rice, which disintegrates the manor system on which the local daimyo depends.

Before the Guanyuan war, the gross income of the family had a million stone, and there were also mines. The Nagasaki port was also very convenient for maritime trade. It was classified as a state-owned operation, and the trade of Nagasaki Port was also firmly in the hands of the Edo shogunate.

  The Hojo clan stipulated that there were four publics and six people, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the "people of the world", had six publics and four people, that is, 60% of the rice belonged to the public and 40% to the farmers.

  If there is no fu, there will be problems in Cheung Chau's finances, and adding fu will put a heavy burden on the farmers. In the end, Changzhou's choice was Jiafu, and the samurai who obtained Lumi suppressed the peasant uprising.

  The output of rice will be affected by the weather, the price of rice will fall when the weather is good, and the price of rice will skyrocket when natural disasters occur. In the seventeenth year of Kanei, due to the eruption of Ezo Komagaoka volcano, affected by volcanic ash, the Tsugaru area suffered a very serious failure of harvest, and the Kanei famine broke out. Three years before that, the Amakusa Rebellion also broke out due to a drought in the Amakusa region.

   In this special period, it would be a good move to reduce or exempt taxes and provide relief to the disaster victims, but this is related to the income of the daimyo. Not every daimyo will provide disaster relief, and they will allow the civilians to starve to death.

  People who didn’t want to die went to Kyoto, and people who starved to death could be seen everywhere in Kyoto. It was precisely because of the Kwanyong famine that the Tokugawa shogunate changed the previous policy of heavy commerce and changed to heavy agriculture.

The Japanese rice market will draw a line to count the daily rise and fall of rice prices, because it looks like a candle. When it falls, a box is drawn on the blackboard, called a "black candle". The box is painted white, which is called "white candle", and people who buy and sell rice estimate the transaction price according to the trend.

That is to say, Japan is on the rice standard. When Siam was unable to rebuild the rice trade with the Qing Dynasty, it tried to establish a transaction with the Edo Shogunate. Tokugawa Ieyasu did not rely entirely on foreigners before he decided to launch the Battle of Osaka, and he also sent his own. Trusted merchants go to Siam to buy gunpowder, and Siam can get Chinese silk and other goods from the Japanese, and Japan can exchange luxury ingredients such as bird's nest with China.

  With these preparations, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi took the last bit of gold that Toyotomi Hideyoshi left him to build the Buddhist temple, Tokugawa Ieyasu dared to do it. After acquiring the "world", Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately engaged in diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty, and announced to North Korea that killing Toyotomi Hideyoshi was equivalent to avenging North Korea, and asked North Korea to send envoys to congratulate and recognize the legal status of the Tokugawa shogunate. North Korea asked Japan to first issue a certificate of credentials, and then send an "answer envoy" after the Ming Dynasty responded, and the Tsushima people forged the credentials.

There is a very clear division between "machi" and "village". At the same time, "machi" is also a unit of measurement. When Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and others are planning cities, they divide people with the same occupation into one "machi". area of ​​land, and then build houses.

   It is a very serious matter to register the name of the person when conducting the Taige inspection. Even if the annual tribute paid to the barren land is less than that of the fertile land, people still hope for the land that is fertile and easy to irrigate.

  He Shen likes to open pawnshops very much. The pawnshop is responsible for the "pawn" business. Pawn power and power are two kinds of power. Pawn refers to real estate such as real estate, land, etc., which is long-term. Once it is returned to death, the property belongs to the pawnshop, but before it is returned to death, the right of **** can be transferred and can be redeemed at any time. For example, in a manor, the house is inhabited by the mortgagee, and the output, cultivation and land rent of the land belong to the mortgagee. It can belong to Zhang San this year and Li Si next year, until the original mortgagee redeems the mortgage right.

   Generally speaking, the price of redemption rights is relatively low, and the price of transfer is relatively high, and no one will ask for it. In "Dream of Red Mansions", the Zhen family established a very low-priced **** right for the land and real estate, and then handed it over to the Jia family, but the **** right document was not transferred. This is actually a transfer of assets, which the Zhen family can redeem at any time, provided they can survive the storm of the emperor's house raid.

  When the emperor ransacked the house, the assets of the Zhen family had already been released, and the search of the home would not change the pawning situation.

  The Jia Mansion can profit from it. When the property rights are in their hands, the land production is theirs, and the money for the Zhen Family to redeem the property also belongs to the Jia Mansion. Therefore, when the Zhen Mansion raided the house, the house deed, land deed and documents were all with Wang Xifeng.

Later, Jia’s house was raided and several boxes of **** tickets, land deeds, and house deeds were found. This actually concentrated all the transferred assets of the Wang family, Zhen family, Shi family, and Xue family. The emperor copied these things and could lower the **** right below the market value. Buying it cheap, or simply confiscation, is a real windfall.

  In the Gansu prison donation case, Wang Tingzan also transferred his assets to a hat shop in Qianmen, but the defendant told him.

Those who want to transfer assets transfer the land and house deed to the pawnshop opened by Heshen. It is estimated that Emperor Jiaqing also found a few boxes of tickets similar to Jia's house in Heshen's house. The Xue family suffers from a dumb loss.

There is another kind of dang, which refers to movable property, such as the golden rice bowl that Jin Yiwei searched in Jia's mansion. The interest of dang is very high, and it may even be more than the original value of the item. Who will redeem it with one hundred taels? A thing that is only worth 8 taels, unless it is of great significance to him, like a token of love.

There is no point in holding these pawnshops. It is better to take them out for a charity sale, and then melt the golden rice bowl, saying that it is lost. Generally, pawnshops will lower the price and only give about half of the actual value, and the compensation to you is only the original price. But you don't have that golden rice bowl.

   Digging out a Jia mansion is enough for the emperor to eat, and it doesn’t matter whether there are any “illegal” things in Jia mansion.

The emperor only punished Jia She for one person's crime, and Wang Xifeng took the charge of transferring assets. Not only did she lose her life, but also her dowry was gone. She used her dowry to buy the **** right, and these dowries were not equal to the assets. , belonging to heavy profit exploitation. After Jia She entered the palace, the emperor tried his best to return the property of Jia’s house to him. In a dream of Red Mansions, Jia’s house’s property was not much, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Only then did Wang Xifeng lend usury and even arrange a lawsuit in the name of the imperial government. The prosperity of the Grand View Garden was propped up by the properties of several other families. He didn't kill him either, just let him go to the frontier to atone for his sins. Ji Xiaolan also sent it to XJ, but it was not transferred back in the end. Otherwise, how could Jia Baoyu save his life as an adult male, and he would be able to take the imperial examinations and talents in the future.

  Nick thought about the red sandalwood chair he saw in the admiral's living room for the first time, and thought about the Emperor Jiaqing who was short of money, and felt that it was necessary to remind him of this.

  The Nick family also suffered heavy losses during the French Revolution, but they did not go back to see a tragic sight of a broken family.

  Nick recorded that he glanced at Cao Xi at the bow of the boat, and then lowered his head, wondering if he should remind him to be careful of the "paper tiger" admiral.
