Chapter 718: Breaking up the mother-in-law(2/2)
I have to say that the efficiency of agricultural production in this era is really low, and the life of farmers is also really hard. Not only the farmers in the Ming Dynasty are suffering, but the farmers in the Japanese country are even more miserable. So I heard that they can have enough to eat in the Ming Dynasty, and these Japanese people would rather leave their homes.
, but also took his wife and children to the Ming Dynasty to seek a way to survive.
Although each of the 100,000 Japanese people only needed to be given a bowl of coarse grain porridge, the 100,000 Japanese people combined consumed a large amount of food every day, so they ate a lot of food in more than a month.
At this time, in order to maintain the image, no taxes were levied on merchants and citizens of Osaka.
But now, with the official signing of the Osaka Treaty, taxation can begin.
In addition to this year's regular taxes, Chongzhen also allocated an additional special tax to the Sumitomo family and other wealthy Osaka businessmen, which was the war tax for the Osaka Winter Formation. This amount was equivalent to the money being paid by the wealthy Osaka businessmen.
Moreover, the war tax rate was set very high.
Can't afford the money? It doesn't matter, you can sell the property.
This is equivalent to an open robbery, but it is the top wealthy businessmen who are being robbed.
Effortlessly, most of Osaka's industries became House of Internal Affairs industries.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also specially established an Osaka trading house to be responsible for trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Wangcai invested in the Osaka Company with his original property, accounting for half of the shares, and was appointed by Chongzhen as the chief shopkeeper of the Osaka Company. Xu Sanguan was the second shopkeeper, accounting for 1% of the shares.
More than 300 other merchants and people who participated in the uprising became associates.
These guys don't have shares, but they can get dividends at the end of the year.
Chongzhen is preparing to build the Osaka store into a model.
From now on, the overseas territories of the Ming Dynasty will be managed through such business names.
Apart from garrisoning troops, overseas territories do not need to have government structures.
