In order to improve their military strength, military families from all over the country after the Warring States Period were trying to find ways to reform and squeeze the resources of their territories as much as possible.
This gave rise to money for construction for the lord, building-specific taxes similar to the capitation tax calculated based on housing, and various industry special taxes.
You need to collect taxes when you go to the mountains to cut firewood, and you also need to collect taxes when you are a merchant. Anyway, all the resources in the territory belong to the lord. There are seven things you should do when leading people to go out, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax.
And in what form did these taxes become the mobilization force of the Wu family lords? This involves the transformation of the tax base from the Guan Gao system to the Shi Gao system.
The Guan Gao system is a tax system that converts land output into copper coins. However, in actual use, the confusion in the currency values of incoming money, fine money, and bad money makes the Guan Gao system difficult to operate.
Therefore, the Shigao system, which converted land output into Shigao as the tax base, gradually replaced the Guangao system and more accurately included the output of the territory.
The current situation is that tax systems vary from place to place. In some places, the Wu family still uses the Guan Gao system, while in other places the Wu family has begun to use the Shi Gao system.
Now, the Sibo family wants to force the Wu family under their command to use food stamps, which is equivalent to using Sibo food stamps to recalculate the tax base of land output.
Even if the local martial arts families closed their doors and continued to use the Guan Gao system or the Shi Gao system, the self-sufficient manorial economy was already collapsing, and foreign exchanges were inevitable.
If you insist on not exchanging food stamps, you will suffer huge losses in the exchange rate of foreign exchange of production materials.
But if local military families use the food stamp system, it is equivalent to having the resources of their own territory controlled by the Spoken Fed and skinned through seigniorage.
The Spokane Group can adjust the interest rate of the reverse repurchase of food stamps to raise or lower the resources of local warriors, buying high and selling low to continuously suck blood.
How to get local military families to accept this new tax system that is harmful to oneself and benefiting others is a headache, and it is also a problem that Sibo practitioners have to face.
Yiyin rubbed his temples and found this problem very troublesome.
Of course he could force the local martial arts family to use food stamps, but this kind of overt robbery would greatly consume his personal prestige and would not be taken by a wise man.
It would be best if the local martial arts family were willing to use Sibo food stamps, but who would be stupid enough to make a wedding dress for someone else for no reason?
Yiyin asked.
"Since Fengxingzhong has raised this issue, is there any way to solve it?"
Yiyin is out of options, but since Dazang Changan dares to point out the problem face to face, he must come up with a plan. This is the basic ethics of being a subordinate.
If we just leave the problem to the owner and let him solve it, these dogs will be raised in vain.
Dazang Changan bowed.
“All executive agencies have met together to discuss the matter several times.
If you want to drive out other currencies and make Spo's food stamps the main currency, or even the only currency, within the Spo family's sphere of influence, you must make a fuss about the tax system.
Unifying the tax rate and establishing a tax reform using Sibo grain stamps as the conversion standard will greatly stimulate the demand of local military families to store and use grain stamps.
In this regard, Lord Naoyoshi Hanzawa made a very interesting suggestion, please let her explain it to you personally, sage."
Yoshihiro looked at Hanzawa Naoyoshi who was sitting behind Ozo Changan. This guy is obviously the acting official of the clean government system. Why is he involved in food stamps and the tax system?
Seeing the saint's eyes turned to Naoyoshi Hanzawa, Ozo Changan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not in her position, not in charge of politics, she sat in the seat where Takada Haruno used to sit, only then did she realize how hot this crater was.
Just inheriting part of Takada Haruno's power has made Ozo Changan feel numb, and he doesn't know how Takada Haruno has been able to hold on all these years.
Sibo Tucang had ten pots and eight lids, and it was a business of tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall. Don't look at the tens of thousands of turnovers, but it turned out to be a loss-making business with a lot of debt.
This is similar to modern banks.
Deposits are liabilities of the bank and require payment of interest.
Loans are the bank's income, but they require risks.
The interest rate difference between deposits and loans is the bank's profit, so in order to make as much money as possible, banks must increase leverage.
No bank can afford a run, because it is impossible for a bank to leave all its deposits waiting for someone to withdraw them and pay interest in vain. It must use part of them to lend money and make money.
Therefore, the deposits are never enough for all depositors to withdraw, not to mention that banks have to increase leverage in order to earn interest differentials, and the actual cash flow is even less.
Therefore, confidence is the most important.
As long as the market has confidence in the bank and there are no runs, the bank can survive.
On the contrary, once confidence completely collapses, no matter what the bank does, it will be useless.
The food stamp crisis and the Sakai Port Rebellion were, in the final analysis, a preview of the collapse of market confidence. Just because the saint's prestige was too high, once the saint announced his intervention, the market immediately restored confidence.
But in reality those problems still exist.
Takada Yono created a financial monster that did not belong to the Middle Ages. Ozo Changan, who was only given partial control, figured out the principles and was immediately frightened to death.
Sibo Tucang was unable to make ends meet, which was actually supported by confidence. This was too exciting for the ancients who lived within their means.
However, Dazang Changan finally made a comeback, and she was definitely not willing to surrender and run away, so she had to find more support for the safe operation of Sibo's food stamps.
The tax reform will allow the calculation standard of food stamp land output to be based on food stamps, which will greatly expand the scope of use of food stamps and no longer be limited to business.
This idea is very creative, but the problem is how to get the local military family to accept that from now on, tax collection will not include copper coins or grain, but it will all be attributed to the numbers on a thin piece of straw paper.
This was a hurdle that Ozo Changan, who controlled Shiba Tokura, could not avoid, and Hanzawa Naoyoshi took the initiative to help her take the blame. Ozo Changan was naturally overjoyed.
If this thing comes to pass, Dazang Chang'an will not only be successful, but also have a great increase in power. If this thing is messed up, Naoyoshi Hansawa is the primary responsibility, and Dazang Chang'an will also have room for maneuver.
From Hanzawa Naoyi's point of view, she wanted to do something practical and didn't care about personal gains and losses.
Hanzawa Naoyoshi, who was tied to the body of the Goddess Yuigahama, was actually more confident than when he walked alone in the dark alley and faced despair.
Dazang Chang'an is not an afterthought of divine origin, and he cannot match Hanzawa Naoyi's spirit of daring to be the first in the world.
At this time, Hanzawa Naoyoshi faced the saint's questioning gaze, bowed and said.
"This method is very simple, that is, the existing interests of the local Wu family will not be affected, and only the future increment will be taken."
Yiyin squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before saying.
"Explain in detail."
Hanzawa Naoyi talked eloquently.
"Local martial arts families are afraid that the Shiba Goddess group will take away their interests, so they are not willing to cooperate with the food stamp system.
However, land output is relatively stable. On fixed land, the income from fields, minerals, timber, etc. can actually be calculated in years of good times and disasters.
Therefore, the Sibo family can promise the local military families not to use their existing income and only use food stamps for incremental new income, and they will not be too resistant."
