Chapter 382: Le City Music Seat
In the meeting hall in Anyue City, the Shenwu Shaoce is reporting to Zhengliang about his work during this period.
"Your Highness, my subordinates visited several places according to the information provided by the detective fan," said Shaoce of the Shenwu respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's talk about your gains this time," said Zhengliang. Last time, Zhengliang told the Shenwu family some of the terms of Le City Le. In order to implement these terms in the territory of the Luo family as soon as possible, Zhengliang gave some of the situations collected by the detectives about the various merchants in the territory to Shenwu Shaoce, and then asked him to investigate them in various places in the territory based on these information. Now he has finally completed the mission and is back.
"The situation of merchants in various places in the territory has been supplemented based on the original information. Please check it out." Shenwu Shaoce handed a book that had been prepared long ago to Bukit Murakami, the surname Xiao. The latter respectfully handed it to Masayora after taking it.
"By region, due to its good relationship with the Heido Matsuura clan, the majority of the merchants in Minamimatsuura County were used to be the most commercial houses in Minamimatsuura County. With the implementation of the law of blocking the territory's borders, some of the commercial houses in Kawatsu Bay that belonged to Hakata have lost the support of Hakata, and now most of them have been converted into small commercial houses run by the original man himself. As for other parts of Matsuura County, due to the fact that they have been relatively backward in the past, there are not many commercial houses, but mainly travelers from other regions," said Shinya Shaoce.
>These merchants enjoy the rights of "exclusive sales rights, non-tax rights, non-tax rights, non-entry rights". Among them, the exclusive sales rights means that a local commodity is sold solely on a local commodity. Any non-powerful businessman shall not interfere in local operations. The non-tax rights means that a part or full exemption of the goods is negotiated with the local daimyo and that the goods are exempted in part or full amount. The non-entry rights are the local daimyo. Without the permission of the merchant, the goods are not allowed to be used.
It is precisely because of all kinds of exemptions and privileges that the merchants can take the lead in this market. Once the Luo family implements the laws of the Leshi Leju in the territory, these organizations will inevitably become the most fierce opponents.
"There are the most numerous commercial houses in the other counties, including Zoga County and small town counties. These commercial houses are based on the past wealthy forces or temple shrine forces, and monopolize the business rights of a certain area." Shenwu Shaoce continued to report, "When visiting secretly, a leader once told his subordinates. They had seen hawkers from other places coming to sell with a cart of oranges, but not only had to pay a lot of taxes. And when the hawker lowered the price of oranges, the shopping malls there found someone to beat the hawker and even snatched all the oranges of the hawker." Shenwu Shaozhan tells the story of a typical merchant bullying the market with his backing behind him.
"However, the situation is already very different now." Shenwu Shaozhan continued.
"Oh? A big difference?" Zhengliang said in confusion.
"It is. Your Highness" Shaozhan of the Divine House leaned over and saluted, "Due to the plan to relocate wealthy families, the laws of temples and shrines, and the implementation of other laws of the territory, the behavior of those merchants has been greatly weakened. Especially the closure of the territory's borders has hit their business even more, so the influence of these merchants is gradually weakening."
"Well" Masayoshi nodded when he heard this. The three families, temple shrines, and shopping malls, generally have various connections in secret. Most of the time, these three rely on each other to form an interest group. However, what Masayoshi has implemented over the past six months is a territorial integration policy of cutting the mess. The so-called cutting the mess is that it does not choose to integrate from the shopping mall, a relatively weak one. On the contrary, it directly attacks the much stronger wealthy families and temple shrines, and integrates directly at the root. And adopts a quick and tough attitude and forcibly integrate.
In fact, according to Zhengliang's style of dealing with things, he prefers to integrate with slow and gentle methods, but this time there are different reasons. First of all, it is about to be the eleventh year of the Astronomy (1542), and many major events in the Warring States Period are about to happen. Many Warring States Period's great people began to take the stage, and there is not much time left for the Luo family, so the pace of the Luo family's strength must be accelerated; secondly, in the territory of the Luo family, the powerful wealthy families have been completely cleaned up by the Luo family, so the remaining small wealthy families are not opponents of Luo family. Zhengliang's forced integration measures are supported by strong strength. It is precisely because of the above two reasons that Zhengliang has made up his mind to carry out a quick knife-cutting and messy integration method. Now from the words of the Shenwu Shaozhan, Zhengliang finally saw the effect of this integration.
"Since that's the case, then the terms I told you last time can be implemented." Masarara said, "I have written the specific terms here. You can find Heiji Togo immediately after you go back and start implementing them." Masarara said while asking Bukit Murakami to hand a book to Shaozhan of the Kanya.
"Le City Le Zu?" After taking the book, Shaozhan from the Shenwu took it and immediately started reading it.
"Yes." Zhengliang said, "I named this new law, Leshi Lezu, and the scope of promotion is within the territory of the Luo family. The law is implemented in three steps. First, select two to three places in each county as markets, and concentrate all nearby shopping malls here for unified management; second, post a judgment in all prominent areas of the territory, tell everyone that in the scope of the Luo family, the privileges and pass taxes of all shopping malls will be cancelled, and only transaction taxes will be collected, and merchants will be encouraged to go to the markets established by each county.
To conduct transactions, while civilians engage in business, they do not need to collect any transaction taxes from people in the first two years. Finally, after a period of time, when these newly established markets flourish, the models of these markets will be gradually popularized into various towns. "The shopping malls will be concentrated in a certain place nearby, first, to facilitate their management and allow them to implement the laws of the territory under the supervision of the Luo family, and second, to establish a demonstration role, so that other doors can see the prosperity of these markets after the implementation of the laws of Leshi Lezu.
"In this way, it may cause dissatisfaction among those shopping malls," said Shenwu Shaozhan worriedly.
"It's okay. With the end of the relocation of the wealthy clans and the implementation of the territorial laws, these merchants have lost their support, and even if they are dissatisfied, they cannot cause anything." Zhengliang said. The implementation of the forced migration order of the wealthy clans and the new temple shrine management regulations has made these merchants lose the support of the power behind them. In addition, the leaders have known their rights through the territorial laws and gradually lost their fear of these merchants. These merchants will only be forced to die or transformed into merchants that meet the requirements of the Luo family's laws.
