Edo Traveler
Vol 2 Chapter 49: 0 surname is difficult to live, so force prosecution
What is a compelling lawsuit?
That of course is the act of using force to achieve the purpose of appeal!
Why are the people outside Edo Castle reunited in a short time, and the number of people is so large that the water surrounding Edo Castle is almost impenetrable?
There is only one reason for , and that is land seizure!
Chungemon doesn't even need to make any guesswork. It is nothing more than natural disasters and man-made disasters that can push ordinary people to this level. This year is a normal year, with neither volcanic eruptions nor large-scale continuous rain and cool days. That God gave the people a reward for eating, and if the people couldn't eat a bite of hot soup and rice, there would be man-made disasters left.
There are no gangsters in Japan who fought for thousands of miles, plundering and killing people everywhere. Therefore, the only thing that can hurt farmers outside the city is that the shogunate has checked the land again.
Followed by Yuanshan Yuan, and Chuemon gathered the team with a whistle to prevent the team from escaping at night. On the one hand, he listened to Yuanshan Yuan's talk about the causes and consequences, and how to deal with it.
The previous cause is all on the great master Mizuno Tadabang. After Mizuno took power, he immediately issued a return order to **** the floating people in the town back to the countryside. Time is used to strictly prohibit farmers from entering cities to work, and to control the time that farmers spend as domestic helpers.
Japan’s land is mountainous, and the Kanto Plain has been developed to the extreme after hundreds of years of development. Farmers who do not have land or rent a livelihood can only starve to death in the countryside. But Mizuno doesn't care about it. He believes that only by tightly confining all farmers in the countryside can the countryside not continue to be ruined.
I know that the main reason for the ruin of the countryside is the increasingly heavy taxation, but the reason why this has been put on the surface is that no one mentions it. Including Mizuno Tadabang, who is determined to reform, also requires the people to increase the population on the land and cultivate intensively in order to increase grain production.
Unfortunately, Mizuno Tadakuni does not know what is called marginal effect. The so-called marginal effect refers to the continuous increase of a certain input when other inputs are fixed, and the new output or income will gradually decrease. In other words, when the increased input exceeds a certain level, the output of each additional unit input will decrease.
You don't have high-yield varieties, and you don't have a lot of chemical fertilizers. If you just rely on the ground and add manpower, the result will only be that everyone is hungry!
This part of the repatriated people is already a flame in the countryside, but they certainly do not account for the majority of the rural population, and they can still be suppressed locally. Therefore, no major problems have erupted before. At most, the number of robberies in rural areas has increased or the population has disappeared.
But, we want to be but again, the main purpose of Mizuno Tadakuni’s reform is to maintain the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and strengthen the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate. So he invited Takashima Akiho to build the Edo Bay Fort, and intends to recruit Western-style troops, all in order to strengthen the military strength of General Tokugawa.
As for the equally important economic power? Mizuno is opposed to the model of supporting commerce and obtaining dividends and monopoly fees from commerce, but he has no better way to obtain money. His predecessors have done it a long time ago and don't know how many times they have increased taxes.
Don't look at those **** materials that say the annual tribute of the shogunate is low, and even some places only charge more than 30%. If you only look at this, then we might as well say that I brought Qingnai to the dynasty with the lightest punisher and richest riches in thousands of years. Do you believe it? Believe it or not, I don't believe it!
Anyway, the disgusting Wanshui of the Tokugawa shogunate and Zhu Daimyo, let Tademon yell it at all. Niangong has always been only a part of the entire taxation. The princes need not only rice, but also money! They will do everything possible to scrape the last copper plate from the peasants.
Take the Nabeshima clan of the Saga feudal clan as an example. In addition to real estate taxes such as other money, the Nabeshima clan also collects land money. What is land money? It means that everything in the entire Saga clan belongs to the Nabeshima family, and the air you breathe belongs to the Nabeshima family.
So everyone has to pay taxes for the air they breathe!
Not kidding at all, the original intention of Diziqian is that farmers enter the Shuize Mountain Forest, collect firewood, and harvest reeds for fuel. Or fish for seaweed by the sea to satisfy your hunger, and dig for the lotus roots, water chestnuts, and water chestnuts in the ditches. The things that were born in these heavens and earths are now not owned by God, but our lord Nabeshima family has it. You have to pay for it after you have used it. Moreover, the payment is based on the population, and every person has to pay a share.
That's fine, but the Nabeshima family has two groups for the retainer group that needs to be supported because of the special retainer group system. Moreover, the group of Longzaosi Temple accounted for a large amount of knowledge and behavior, which greatly affected the income of the Nabeshima family.
So what should I do if the tax collected is not enough? Increase taxes! Ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes!
I have already collected the land money~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which means that the population tax has been scraped twice. The Nabeshima family who can increase the tax came up with the good thing of "adding land money". You have indeed paid for firewood and seaweed, but the sun and the air you breathe, haven't you paid for it yet? These also belong to the Nabeshima family of the feudal lord. As a loyal leader, he must devote the last copper plate to the Nabeshima family.
Nabeshima family’s approval, the Shimadzu family has intensified. All the so-called top four in the Southwest have established "hell" to search for the people, and realized the so-called "rich and strong"!
Of course, the shogunate is not doing much better, and it is also collecting taxes viciously. Originally such a heavy tax has overwhelmed the farmers. It's better now, Mizuno Tadao came to power as a relatively old-school feudal prince. The ten thousand tax method has been used before, so the fastest way to increase income is only to check land.
Now that the autumn harvest is harvested, Tadakuni Mizuno ordered Nomosaburo, Homoto City to preside over the land inspection, and figured out a way to find more stones with high income, and quickly help the shogunate increase revenue.
The countryside filled with gunpowder, and when such a big spark was thrown down, do I need to talk more? This didn't immediately explode. Coupled with the shrinking and weakening of the feudal power of the shogunate in the local villages, it is impossible to suppress the peasants' forced complaints locally. So tens of thousands of farmers rushed to Edo Starry Night and asked Tokugawa Jiaqing to come forward and accept their petitions.
It's a pity that Tokugawa Jiaqing only treats them as mobs, and will not take care of these people who can no longer survive. Even Chuemon just saw that the Musketeers had been mobilized. Obviously, he would shoot at the innocent crowd if he didn't disband after he was prepared to persuade him.
Made, is it really not a personnel thing to do?
