Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2178 Flower Controversy (eighty-six)

Three days ago, Nick's fleet was attacked by pirates. After a rest, the admiral ordered to continue to move forward. This time, there were obviously a lot fewer civilian ships accompanying him. Nick could imagine that they planned to pay tribute to the pirates in exchange for a safe passage. The right of passage in this sea area, unless the Qing army navy destroys or defeats them.

How to write the memorial may give the admiral a headache. The emperor does not want to see his invincible army attacked by pirates. Although they did not lose, just this kind of provocation against the Qing sea power is enough for the emperor to send troops.

The premise is that the Qing Empire still has enough money and manpower to suppress the pirates while suppressing 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 knife hunting order and confiscated all the weapons in the hands of farmers. Although on the surface it was because he ordered the ban on pirates, in fact it was to prevent the occurrence of "Ichikui", a word that stands for peasant uprising, and among the Japanese pirates there were many bankrupt peasants.

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

Under the support of the Daiji Temple in Kyoto, the very small Fangguang Temple actually hides so many secrets. In addition, after the end of the Kakinohara War, Tokugawa Ieyasu determined the pro-fan daimyo, genealogical daimyo and foreign daimyo, and Changzhou Fan The feudal lord Mori was reduced after the defeat, and he is a follower of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Tokugawa Ieyasu needs to guard against foreign daimyos, and they are even less than the Satsuma feudal lands that are also foreign daimyos.

Like the peasant uprisings in Europe, the peasant uprisings in Japan are usually relatively small in scale, and it is difficult to compare with the peasant uprisings in China. However, there is a key thing in the vassal system formulated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi-rice. The salary received is rice, and except for a part of their own life, the rest is exchanged for money. People in Edo Town cannot avoid the issue of "rice" and "money" in their lives. The shops engaged in this industry are called " Mi asked the house", Nick also dealt with them.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, he first unified the weights and measures, and then carried out the "Taiko Inspection", which not only obtained the quantity of land, but also determined the quality of the land, water use, whether it was twice a year, so as to facilitate according to the land. The taxation standard for the yield per mu is called "Shi Gao". For those who reclaim wasteland, their ownership is recognized. This is mainly to restore the abandoned cultivated land 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 had the ownership of the land, only the land produced products, such as the ownership of rice, which caused the collapse of the manor system on which the local daimyo depended.

Before the Sekigahara War, the Maori family had a salary of one million koku, and there were mines. Nagasaki port was also very convenient for shipping and trade. After the Sekigahara War, the "Taiko Senchi" was only 300,000 koku. The output of the mine It was classified as state-owned, and the trade of Nagasaki Port was also firmly in the hands of the Edo Shogunate.

The Hojo family stipulated four lords and six people, while Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the "man of the world", had six lords and four people, that is, 60% of the rice went to the public and 40% to farmers.

If the tax is not increased, there will be financial problems in Cheung Chau, and increasing the tax will put a heavy burden on the farmers. In the end, Changzhou chose to add Fu, and won Lumi's warriors to suppress the peasant uprising.

The output of rice will be affected by the weather. When the weather is good, the price of rice will fall, but when there is a natural disaster, the price of rice will skyrocket. In the seventeenth year of Kanei, due to the eruption of the Ezo Komagaoka volcano and the impact of volcanic ash, a very serious harvest failure occurred in the Tsugaru area, and the Kanei famine broke out. Three years before this, the Amakusa Rebellion broke out because of the drought in the Amakusa area.

In this special period, it would be a good move to reduce taxes and provide relief to the victims, but this is related to the income of the daimyo. Not every daimyo will provide disaster relief, and they will let the civilians 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 through the Kanyong famine that the Tokugawa shogunate changed its previous policy of emphasizing commerce and changed it to emphasizing agriculture.

The Japanese rice market will draw a line to count the rise and fall of rice prices every day, because it looks like a candle, when it falls, draw a box on the blackboard, called "black candle", when it rises Just paint the box white and call it a "white candle". People who buy and sell rice estimate the transaction price based on the trend.

In other words, Japan is the rice standard. When Siam was unable to reestablish the rice trade with the Qing Dynasty, it tried to establish a deal with the Edo shogunate. Before Tokugawa Ieyasu decided to launch the Battle of Osaka, he did not rely entirely on foreigners. Trusted merchants went to Siam to buy gunpowder, and Siam could obtain Chinese silk and other commodities from the Japanese, and Japan exchanged luxury ingredients such as bird’s nest with China.

With these preparations, and Toyotomi Hideyori taking the last bit of gold left to him by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to build Buddhist temples, Tokugawa Ieyasu dared to do it. After obtaining the "Tianxia", Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately communicated with the Ming Dynasty, and announced to North Korea that killing Toyotomi Hideyoshi was tantamount to revenge for 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 send out the letter of credentials first, and then send "response envoys" after the Ming Dynasty replied, and the Tsushima people forged the letter of credentials.

There is a very clear division between "town" and "village". At the same time, "town" is also a unit of measurement. When Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and others carried out urban planning, they divided people of the same occupation into one "town". area of ​​land and build houses.

It is very serious to register the name and invite people when conducting Taiko land inspection. Even if the annual tribute paid for barren land is less than that of fertile land, people still want fertile land that is easy to irrigate.

He Shen likes to open a pawn shop very much. The pawn shop is responsible for the "pawn" business. Pawn power and power are two kinds of power. Pawn refers to real estate such as real estate and land, which is long-term. Once it is classified as dead, the property belongs to the pawnshop. However, after it is classified as dead, the pawn right can be transferred and redeemed at any time. For example, in a manor, the house is lived by the pawnee, and the output, cultivation, and land rent of the land belong to the pawnee. It can go to Zhang San this year and Li Si next year, until the original pawner redeems the pawn right.

Generally speaking, the price for redeeming the mortgage is relatively low, and the price for transfer is relatively high, so no one will want it. In "Dream of Red Mansions", the Zhen family set up a very low-price mortgage on the land and real estate, and then handed it over to Jia's house, but the mortgage documents were not transferred. This is actually a transfer of assets, and the Zhen family can redeem them at any time, provided they can survive the storm of the emperor's house raid.

When the emperor ransacked the house, the properties of the Zhen family had already been revealed, and the raid could not change the situation of the pawn. Without the house deed, land deed and documents, the real property of the Zhen family could not be copied.

The Jia family can benefit from it. When the pawn is in their hands, the land and production belong to them, and the money from the Zhen family's redemption of the property also belongs to the Jia family.

Later, Jia's house was ransacked and turned up several boxes of pawnbrokers, land deeds, and house deeds. This was actually a collection of all the transferred assets of the Wang family, Zhen family, Shi family, and Xue family. The emperor copied these things and could lower the pawn rights below the market price. Buying it at a low price, or simply confiscating it, is really a windfall.

In the Gansu prison donation case, Wang Tingzan also transferred assets to a hat shop in Qianmen, but was accused.

Those who want to transfer assets transfer the land and house deeds to the pawnshop opened by Heshen. It is estimated that Emperor Jiaqing also found a few boxes of tickets similar to those in Jia’s house at Heshen’s house. The Xue family also suffered from being dumb.

There is another kind of pawn, which refers to movable property, such as the golden rice bowl that Jin Yiwei found in Jia's mansion. The interest of pawn is very high, and it may even be compound interest, which exceeds the original value of the item. Who would use one hundred taels to redeem it? 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 pawnshops holding these rags. Why don’t you take them out for a charity sale and melt down the golden rice bowl, claiming that it was lost. Generally, pawnshops will lower the price and only give about half of the actual value, and the compensation will only be the original price. But you don't have that golden job.

Digging out a Jia mansion is enough for the emperor to eat. It doesn't matter whether there are "violated" things in Jia's mansion.

The emperor only punished Jia She for the crime of one person, and Wang Xifeng was charged with transferring assets. Not only did she lose her life, but also her dowry. , belongs to usury exploitation. After Jia Amnesty entered the palace, the emperor thought of his best and returned Jia's property to him. In the Dream of Red Mansions, Jia's property was not much and was on the verge of bankruptcy, so Wang Xifeng did usury and even arranged a lawsuit in the name of the State Government. The prosperity in the Grand View Garden was supported by the properties of several other families. Without these, Jia Baoyu "returned to his original shape" and lived in a very difficult situation. He didn't want his life, 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 survive as an adult male, and he would still be able to take the imperial examination and test talent in the future.

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

During the French Revolution, Nick's family also suffered heavy losses, but they would not go back and see the tragic scene of a family being destroyed.

Nick recorded here looking at Cao Xi at the bow of the ship, then lowered his head, wondering if he should remind him to be careful of this "paper tiger" admiral.
