If the above 4 decrees are a bit unfamiliar to the Toyotomi court, then the "Tianxia Procuratorate Order" is a lot familiar to the daimyo.
It's just that the "Tianxia Inspectorate Order" is different this time. In order to prepare for the future Zhengming, Hideyoshi must find out the actual number of knowledge and action in various parts of the world.
However, the weights and measures of the Zhixing numbers reported by various places have never been unified before. The most intuitive example is that before Kyushu was conquered by Hideyoshi, Chikuzen’s Zhixing was 33 shi. After the measurement, it directly soared to 45 stone.
Many people think that Qin Shihuang's unification of weights and measures is just a matter of will. In fact, there is no need to write a special book, but only those who have really done front-line work know the greatness of Qin Shihuang.
Just imagine when people come to you to fill in the form, "In age, you are asked whether you are full or imaginary; whether your aunt is considered a direct relative; whether the home address is on the ID card or the actual residence address; I have two houses, two sides. You will understand how important national unified standards are when you have to fill in both or fill in one" and many other questions.
Take India as an example. After the founding of the country, the weights and measures were unified and the metric system was adopted. The Indian government does not know how many strange weights and measures are still kept by the people in various states; but the writing has not yet been unified!
In the 70s, when buying and selling cloth between different states in India, there were still situations of different lengths, and even Indians between different states could not understand the dialect of other states.
In fact, it may be easy to manage if the chaos in India is extremely chaotic. After all, this eliminates the problem of communication between people from the root.
They all knew that the weights and measures of the free cities in European history were different, so every transaction required precise calculations, and a lot of energy and time was wasted on conversions.
In fact, this problem is especially obvious in the exchange of metal coins, which is why money houses and banks are so popular.
However, if you want to rise as fast as Germany, then unified weights and measures are necessary.
Not to mention, after the unification of weights and measures, the trade efficiency between the various self-owned city-states has been greatly improved, and citizens and factories do not need to spend a lot of time on unit conversion.
Shopping is no longer a job that requires culture. The upgrading of consumption promotes the upgrading of industries, which further promotes the upgrading of consumption, while the state collects taxes from various upgrades, forming a virtuous circle.
Hideyoshi in this era may not know the reason, but Hideyoshi, who was a merchant in the past and walked between Kinki and Kanto, is very aware of the differences in weights and measures in various places.
Even in order to better control the country, he needs to issue orders to unify weights and measures.
比如在知行地的面积上他就规定“6尺3寸(约191㎝)的平方＝1步，30步＝1亩，10亩＝1段（反），10段＝1町。”
换算成现在的单位进行理解就是3.65平方米是1步，110平方米是1亩（中国后世的1/6），1100平方米是1反（后世1亩的1.6倍），1.1万平方米是1町。
According to this measurement method, the land rent in some places has been greatly reduced, while the land rent in some places has increased. In general, the cadastral book compiled by Hideyoshi has greatly increased compared with the time of the Ashikaga shogunate.
In addition, the inspection system is also different from the past.
Since the beginning of the Warring States Period, the prefectures in various places have been mainly in the form of self-declaration, but this time, Hideyoshi appointed four people including Asano Nagamasa, Horio Yoshiharu, Nakamura Kazushi, and Ikoma Kisho as the general representatives. Hokuriku + Shinano, West Country, Kyushu + Shikoku, Tokaido + Kai Kinki.
Under these people, Ichiyanagi Naosue, Tanaka Yoshimasa, Tani Yutomo, Terasawa Hirodaka, Shinjo Naorai, Saimura Masahiro, Bessho Shigemune, Ishida Mitsunari, Masuda Nagamori Yoshitsugu Otani and other retainers were assigned to cooperate.
As for Hideyoshi's core Kinki land, they were handed over to Maeda Genichi and Ishida Mitsunari respectively.
As a result, the Hide family had to face the inspections of Nakamura Kazushi and Horio Yoshiharu respectively, while Tokugawa Ieyasu had to face Asano Nagamasa and Ikoma Kisho respectively.
Another reason why Hideyoshi attaches so much importance to it is that he intends to use this land inspection to redefine the fields in the world in accordance with the new unified regulations. Folk knives.
Therefore, whether it is the person in charge of the general strategy, or the implementation and strength of the bases and countries, they all bear heavy responsibilities.
For example, the Xiu family needs to deal with Tanaka Yoshimasa, Otani Yoshitsugu and Masuda Changsheng at the same time.
It's not that Hideyoshi deliberately made things difficult for Hideo, but that there are almost only two daimyos in the West Country: Mori and Ukita. Hideyoshi needs to send two trustworthy people with high emotional intelligence to deal with these two daimyos.
So there was an arrangement that Ishida Mitsunari was in charge of Sanyo, Tanaka Yoshimasa was in charge of Sanin, and Otani Yoshitsugu was in charge of Shikoku.
Of course, even being a practitioner or being in charge is still not enough to process the data in the field in a short time, because there is no perfect education system in this era, especially in mathematics, which is mostly a master-apprentice model.
There is no such thing as Hideyoshi who opened a Hongbunkan in the territory, and even the proportion of samurai who can read and write is worrying.
This makes it impossible for these pursuits to abandon the owners of these territories to re-measure the land and delineate taxes. Therefore, although the land inspection was made with great fanfare, it still did not rely on the control of the owners, just like water in a sponge. Squeeze out a lot, but there is still some moisture.
Hideyoshi redefined the area of the land with such great fanfare, in order to calculate the output of the field on the basis of a unified number of acres, divided the fields into upper, middle and lower fields, and levied different taxes.
In the past, due to the inconsistencies in the area of each place, the knowledge and practice of each major name could only be registered after the autumn harvest with the village as a unit and based on the actual harvested grain.
However, food production is very affected by climate and sowing methods, which makes the number of knowledge and behavior in various places change strictly every year. In order to reduce this problem, Hideyoshi introduced a unified weight and measure, and based on the fertility of the land The division of fields and acres is called Shi Sheng.
石盛重规定了1.5~1.7石/反以上的为上田；1.3~1.4石/反以上的为中田；1.1石以上的为下田；0.9石以上的为下下田。
We all know that stone height = stone height × area. Hideyoshi’s Zhixing area statistics are based on the standard points of 1.5, 1.3, 1.1, and 0.9 of Nakashita Mita above. Multiply the daimyo’s land area directly to infer the stone height. If it exceeds The part is not included in the stone height.
Corresponding to paddy field is Hata field, and it is dry field lacking in water resources, and their corresponding Shi Sheng are 1.3, 1.1, 0.9 and 0.7 respectively.
Of course, besides Tian and Hata, there are Lintian and Xintian, both of whom are not counted in Shigao's tax-free existence.
Hideyoshi additionally stipulated that the children of the house should be built in Shimoda and Shimoda. If there are special circumstances, it must be built on Kamada or Nakata, which needs to be approved by the applicant.
At the same time, the masters were required to prepare a land inspection account, on which information such as the type of Tabata, the area of the house, the grade of the field, the height of the stone, and the cultivator were recorded.
The information compiled is equivalent to the ID card of later generations, helping Hideyoshi to grasp the actual situation of daimyos all over the world.
At the same time, Hideyoshi established the "one land, one person" system, that is, there must be an ultimate person in charge of a piece of land, and this person should bear the taxes of this piece of land, and need to assume the responsibility of husband's labor when necessary.
The emphasis here on the responsibility of husband service is because at this time Hideyoshi has gradually begun to implement a nationwide separation of soldiers and farmers.
After the fact of the Sword Hunting Order and the District Inspection Order, Hideyoshi will issue the "Status Control Order" again, officially confirming the right of Fenggong people to wear swords, and formally distinguishing professional soldiers from ordinary civilians.
In the "Taiko Prosecutorial Order", Hideyoshi set the tax rate for one citizen and two citizens and implemented it nationwide in order to reduce the flow of refugees between countries and to attract the hermits from the village of Somura to go down the mountain.
The purpose of this policy fact is to reflect that Hideyoshi, as Guanbai, is benevolent to the people of the world. After all, many famous people at this time still have a system of five officials and five people. If there are four officials and six people, it is considered a benevolent government.
However, Hideyoshi's unified tax rate is bound to be impossible to implement. After all, in Japan's enfeoffment system at this time, Hideyoshi lacks the legal basis for administratively interfering with the daimyo under his command.
Therefore, this decree has actually only been implemented in the directly governed areas, genealogical daimyos and close daimyos.
But this policy was not implemented for too long during most of Hideyoshi's reign.
Before the imperial conquest, Hideyoshi either used money tax to support his military operations, or needed money to satisfy his extravagant life. He collected many miscellaneous taxes, and the real tax rate was around 4/6.
After the conquest of the dynasty, Hideyoshi's need for money and food increased day by day, and a lot of money was always needed for shipbuilding alone. Therefore, until his death, the comprehensive tax rate of Japan under Hideyoshi's rule was at the level of 7 citizens and 3 citizens.
This actual tax rate even surpassed that of the daimyos under his command. Those daimyos at least achieved the real five gongs and five people, while Hideyoshi was one gong and two people in name, but actually collected two gongs and one people.
This tax is so heavy that it is not certain whether a commoner's field cultivated all year round will last until next year after paying the tax, let alone improve his life.
Therefore, after the conquest of the dynasty, there was another wave of fleeing people in various parts of Japan. For the common people, they were either sent to North Korea to become cannon fodder, or they stayed in the fields to plant themselves to death.
Hideyoshi issued so many policies in a short period of time, causing many big names to be in a state of chaos. On the contrary, the country under the leadership of Hideyoshi is relatively stable, because Hideyoshi has gradually implemented these systems many years ago.
Both Masuda Nagamori and Otani Yoshitsugu couldn't help sighing, "His Highness Okayama governs the country well, and it's easier for us to handle state affairs."
Horio Yoshiharu, who was originally considered the most difficult task, even went to Okayama Castle to express his gratitude to Hideka, because the data from Hideka's side can be used almost directly.
After sampling and checking, it was found that there was not much difference between the new raid regulations, and the rest of the data was copied directly without further checking, which showed the trust in the Xiu family.
Corresponding to Hideyoshi's side is the chaotic situation on Mori's side, because Mori's family has been administratively separated from Hideyoshi's control and manages itself.
The Mori family itself is a system of powerful clan alliances. The generations of Mori family leaders have wanted to strengthen the centralization of power. With the help of Hideyoshi, Terumoto's generation finally swept away the two biggest thorns.
However, the confusion of weights and measures in the various countries in the territory is still unresolved, and even the grain ginseng used in the collection of grain taxes in each county within a country is different in size.
This made Horio Yoshiharu and Masuda Nagamori's people very troublesome. They almost stayed at the Mori family to help the Mori family redesignate their fields and standardize the field accounting system.
Perhaps it was too difficult for the Maori family, which is why they chose to trust the Xiu family's data after sampling and confirming that it was almost the same.
Because of this incident, Xiujia also increased the favor of the above five people. After the news was sent back to Kyoto, Hideyoshi also praised Xiujia for faithfully completing his mission.
However, the Xiu family has no intention to take care of these matters at all at this time. The Seto family is rushing back from Ezo once a year. year situation.
And the Hideya family also has something to ask the Seto family to bring back to Ukita Hidetada and others, the most important of which is Hideyoshi's "Bantianlian Chasing Order".
After listening to Hideo’s story, Seto’s sense of opportunity was keen, and he asked Hideo, “In this way, many daimyos may persecute the Qiezhi Danzhong in their collars in order to prevent His Highness Guanbai from making things difficult for them. There must be many Qiezhidan people in the whole country who are forced to move to other places, is your highness planning to take this opportunity to move a large number of people to Ezo?"
"That's right, that's it." Hideyoshi affirmed his question, "I estimated that there are no less than 50 people. Even if we get one-fifth of them, there will be 5 people. If 10 people fill Ezo, it will definitely be enough." Drive the economy of Ezo.”
Different from Hideo's thoughts, the Seto family was frightened by Hideo's figure of one hundred thousand.
He looked at Xiujia and said, "Nowadays, the Yamato, Joseon, Ming, and Ainu people to whom we belong in the Ezo region add up to only 7 to 8 people. Your Highness will move 10 people here at once, and Ezo cannot accommodate it at all!
The most important thing is food output. Over the years, our population growth has always been higher than the land output of Ezo. Every year, we need to purchase food from places such as the Kanto and Northeast. If so many people are transported all at once, Ezo will not be able to feed them. what! "
What the Seto family said awakened Hideo, and he realized that he was only looking at the benefits and ignored the risks behind it.
Intuitively speaking, the influx of so many people into Ezo will inevitably disturb the political ecology of Ezo. With so many Qiezhidans pouring in at once, it is impossible for the Xiu family to suppress Qiezhidan's idea.
In addition, these people came from all over Japan, and some of them were likely to be samurai who owned land in the past, or even high-level samurai who were unwilling to convert. The appearance of these people in Ezo may disrupt Hideka's control of Ezo.
However, 10 people are too much for Hideka who is eager to develop Ezo!
As for the food problem, the Xiu family actually has a solution. The potatoes that the Xiu family cultivated last time have been harvested. The Xiu family plans to keep half of it for expanding the population base, and give the remaining half to the Seto family.
While asking the Seto family to bring back Ezo, they spread their own potato-growing technology to Ezo. In Ezo, only potatoes can be harvested twice a year, and the introduction of potatoes, a high-yield crop, is enough. Change the local food structure.
If potatoes can be planted on a large scale, let alone 10 people, even if all the Kirichitans in Japan are transported to Hideka, they can afford to raise them.
Now it can only be said that this policy was born at an untimely time. If in a later year, the Xiu family strengthened their rule over the Ezo through the Tozhao Shrine, and increased the food production of the Ezo by relying on potatoes, then these people would be enough It became the help of Xiujia to develop Ezo.
Now the Hide family can only reluctantly part with each other, so that the Seto family is trying to gather as many people as possible along the way to go to Ezo. The number of people is limited to [-] people, and only strong and children are needed.
At the same time, Hideka also asked the Seto family to bring the letters he wrote to the important ministers of the Ezo Governor's Mansion, especially the letter to Akashi Zento, which was a long and eloquent volume.
On it, Hideo wrote about Hideyoshi and the attitudes towards Kiritan from all over Japan, as well as his own arrangement for "Bantianlian Chasing and Release Order", and gave Akashi Quandeng an idea of false conversion, and asked him not to jump too much on himself. Will definitely fool him.
At the same time, let him suppress the development of Ezo Jikidan as much as possible, so as not to cause Hideyoshi to pay little attention to Ezo. As for whether to listen to it in the end, it is beyond Hideyoshi's control.
In addition, the situation in Ezo is good. The most important arrangements after Ukita Tadae took office this year are religious reform and official reform.
In addition to the fact that it only ruled Ezo for more than half a year, there were not many changes in Ezo, and the Xiu family also acquiesced to this situation.
Just like last year, the Seto family presented a box of gold sand produced by Konomai, and reported to Hideo that because of the discovery of the Konomai gold mine, Kitami set off a gold rush.
People from all over Ezo applied to the government to transfer their citizenship to Kitami, which caused a lot of people to appear in this piece of land that was affected by the cold wind in the north and could hardly grow much food all year round.
It is worth noting that the acupoints sent by the Xiu family have explored gold veins in the Hongzhimai area. They plan to start digging wells after the snow melts next year. By then, Hongzhimai will mine more gold, silver and other metals. .
Just when Hideo listened to the report of Seto Yamasa and was about to take him to see the potatoes he planted, he suddenly asked Hideo for instructions, "Master, due to the development of our family in Ezo, Oysterzaki at the southern end of Ezo The family sent an envoy to visit.
Ukyo Ryo-sama thinks that His Highness should decide on this matter, so I brought them back to Okayama together, and His Highness please meet him as appropriate. "

If the above 4 decrees are a bit unfamiliar to the Toyotomi court, then the "Tianxia Procuratorate Order" is a lot familiar to the daimyo.
It's just that the "Tianxia Inspectorate Order" is different this time. In order to prepare for the future Zhengming, Hideyoshi must find out the actual number of knowledge and action in various parts of the world.
However, the weights and measures of the Zhixing numbers reported by various places have never been unified before. The most intuitive example is that before Kyushu was conquered by Hideyoshi, Chikuzen’s Zhixing was 33 shi. After the measurement, it directly soared to 45 stone.
Many people think that Qin Shihuang's unification of weights and measures is just a matter of will. In fact, there is no need to write a special book, but only those who have really done front-line work know the greatness of Qin Shihuang.
Just imagine when people come to you to fill in the form, "In age, you are asked whether you are full or imaginary; whether your aunt is considered a direct relative; whether the home address is on the ID card or the actual residence address; I have two houses, two sides. You will understand how important national unified standards are when you have to fill in both or fill in one" and many other questions.
Take India as an example. After the founding of the country, the weights and measures were unified and the metric system was adopted. The Indian government does not know how many strange weights and measures are still kept by the people in various states; but the writing has not yet been unified!
In the 70s, when buying and selling cloth between different states in India, there were still situations of different lengths, and even Indians between different states could not understand the dialect of other states.
In fact, it may be easy to manage if the chaos in India is extremely chaotic. After all, this eliminates the problem of communication between people from the root.
They all knew that the weights and measures of the free cities in European history were different, so every transaction required precise calculations, and a lot of energy and time was wasted on conversions.
In fact, this problem is especially obvious in the exchange of metal coins, which is why money houses and banks are so popular.
However, if you want to rise as fast as Germany, then unified weights and measures are necessary.
Not to mention, after the unification of weights and measures, the trade efficiency between the various self-owned city-states has been greatly improved, and citizens and factories do not need to spend a lot of time on unit conversion.
Shopping is no longer a job that requires culture. The upgrading of consumption promotes the upgrading of industries, which further promotes the upgrading of consumption, while the state collects taxes from various upgrades, forming a virtuous circle.

Hokuriku + Shinano, West Country, Kyushu + Shikoku, Tokaido + Kai Kinki.
Under these people, Ichiyanagi Naosue, Tanaka Yoshimasa, Tani Yutomo, Terasawa Hirodaka, Shinjo Naorai, Saimura Masahiro, Bessho Shigemune, Ishida Mitsunari, Masuda Nagamori Yoshitsugu Otani and other retainers were assigned to cooperate.
As for Hideyoshi's core Kinki land, they were handed over to Maeda Genichi and Ishida Mitsunari respectively.

This makes it impossible for these pursuits to abandon the owners of these territories to re-measure the land and delineate taxes.

Corresponding to paddy field is Hata field, and it is dry field lacking in water resources, and their corresponding Shi Sheng are 1.3, 1.1, 0.9 and 0.7 respectively.

This made Horio Yoshiharu and Masuda Nagamori's people very troublesome. They almost stayed at the Mori family to help the Mori family redesignate their fields and standardize the field accounting system.
Perhaps it was too difficult for the Maori family, which is why they chose to trust the Xiu family's data after sampling and confirming that it was almost the same.

While asking the Seto family to bring back Ezo, they spread their own potato-growing technology to Ezo. In Ezo, only potatoes can be harvested twice a year, and the introduction of potatoes, a high-yield crop, is enough. Change the local food structure.
If potatoes can be planted on a large scale, let alone 10 people, even if all the Kirichitans in Japan are transported to Hideka, they can afford to raise them.
Now it can only be said that this policy was born at an untimely time. If in a later year, the Xiu family strengthened their rule over the Ezo through the Tozhao Shrine, and increased the food production of the Ezo by relying on potatoes, then these people would be enough It became the help of Xiujia to develop Ezo.
Now the Hide family can only reluctantly part with each other, so that the Seto family is trying to gather as many people as possible along the way to go to Ezo. The number of people is limited to [-] people, and only strong and children are needed.
At the same time, Hideka also asked the Seto family to bring the letters he wrote to the important ministers of the Ezo Governor's Mansion, especially the letter to Akashi Zento, which was a long and eloquent volume.
On it, Hideo wrote about Hideyoshi and the attitudes towards Kiritan from all over Japan, as well as his own arrangement for "Bantianlian Chasing and Release Order", and gave Akashi Quandeng an idea of false conversion, and asked him not to jump too much on himself. Will definitely fool him.
At the same time, let him suppress the development of Ezo Jikidan as much as possible, so as not to cause Hideyoshi to pay little attention to Ezo. As for whether to listen to it in the end, it is beyond Hideyoshi's control.
In addition, the situation in Ezo is good. The most important arrangements after Ukita Tadae took office this year are religious reform and official reform.
In addition to the fact that it only ruled Ezo for more than half a year, there were not many changes in Ezo, and the Xiu family also acquiesced to this situation.
Just like last year, the Seto family presented a box of gold sand produced by Konomai, and reported to Hideo that because of the discovery of the Konomai gold mine, Kitami set off a gold rush.
People from all over Ezo applied to the government to transfer their citizenship to Kitami, which caused a lot of people to appear in this piece of land that was affected by the cold wind in the north and could hardly grow much food all year round.
It is worth noting that the acupoints sent by the Xiu family have explored gold veins in the Hongzhimai area. They plan to start digging wells after the snow melts next year. By then, Hongzhimai will mine more gold, silver and other metals. .
Just when Hideo listened to the report of Seto Yamasa and was about to take him to see the potatoes he planted, he suddenly asked Hideo for instructions, "Master, due to the development of our family in Ezo, Oysterzaki at the southern end of Ezo The family sent an envoy to visit.
Ukyo Ryo-sama thinks that His Highness should decide on this matter, so I brought them back to Okayama together, and His Highness please meet him as appropriate. "
