These are changes in education, but the changes and developments within the Land of Light are not limited to education.
Not only has the population exploded from a few hundred thousand to over a million, but the development of agriculture and commerce is equally significant and must be mentioned.
In agriculture, the Uchiha Clan continued to use the original 30% tax system, except that they abolished the poll tax.
The poll tax previously implemented in the Land of Fire was changed to a land tax, meaning that the tax was levied based on the total amount of land, calculated according to the grain produced by each plot of land.
This was originally the tax system implemented by the Uchiha Clan when they established the Uchiha Village, but it was modified with more detailed divisions and humane changes.
For example, when the harvest is poor, the Uchiha will collect less tax or even none at all, and sometimes they will even provide subsidies.
Furthermore, after receiving assistance from the Nara Clan, the Uchiha took into account various factors, such as the quality and type of grain, when collecting taxes.
If it's just regular rice and wheat, the Uchiha Uchiha take 30% of the harvest. If it's coarse grains, they'll adjust the price to 40%.
If it's something like refined grains or vegetables, the Uchiha will harvest a certain amount based on the quantity produced.
It's important to understand that when the original Uchiha was responsible for tax collection, they didn't consider these factors, as the Uchiha lacked the capability to do so.
Under the Uchiha's low-tax and humane tax system, agriculture developed very rapidly.
The newly arrived commoners, namely farmers, in the Land of Fire had their initiative greatly stimulated.
They know that the more grain they grow, the more they can keep, the more they can hoard, and the more money they will have.
The more money farmers have, the more hope they have for life, the better their family life will be, and the more motivated they will be to farm, thus providing the Uchiha with more tax revenue.
At the same time, the development of agriculture stimulated the development of commerce. The vast majority of people in the Land of Fire are farmers, and farmers are the main body of this country.
The low-tax system implemented in the Land of Light gave farmers surplus money, which naturally encouraged and motivated them to spend, thus stimulating commercial development.
Because according to normal human needs, after physical needs are met, the next need is the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment.
Some essential daily necessities have been improved and upgraded in response to this stimulus, appearing in the public eye in a better and more convenient form.
At the same time, luxury goods were brought into the view of ordinary people. Previously, luxury goods were only circulated among the nobles of the Land of Fire, and ordinary people could not even see them.
However, with the development of commerce, luxury goods have gradually become more accessible to the lower classes, making them affordable for ordinary people.
Although luxury goods are still a price that makes them feel a little heartache, they are no longer the kind of things they can't even see.
With the tremendous development of commerce and consumption, the market began to expand dramatically, extending from ordinary daily necessities and food to all aspects of life.
During this period, Uchiha Takashi noticed the chaotic state of the market.
The rapid development of the market has led to its disorder, with many substandard goods and unscrupulous merchants appearing in the market.
They sell inferior goods as high-quality goods, or they use various means to cheat consumers.
These phenomena were discovered and reported by the Konoha Military Police Force, and in order to combat this phenomenon, the Market Supervision Bureau was established.
The Market Supervision Bureau was established under the personal instruction of Uchiha Takashi, with the Nara Clan following suit and the Konoha Military Police Force cooperating in its creation.
The Market Supervision Bureau and the Konoha Military Police Force are both nominally under the Punishments Bureau, and their main role is to supervise the market, formulate and enforce Market Management Law.
The Market Management Law explicitly restricts product standards and outlines the laws and regulations that businesses must comply with.
Substandard products will no longer be allowed to enter the market under the supervision of the Market Supervision Bureau, and unscrupulous merchants will be punished by the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau.
Because the market was indeed somewhat chaotic in its early stages, the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, in its first month of operation, immediately launched a crackdown, strictly enforcing regulations and enforcing strict controls.
The chaos in the market was quelled as quickly as possible, ensuring market order, which is the fundamental reason for the rapid commercial development of the Land of Light.
Under Uchiha Takashi's instructions, the government introduced new policies to encourage business development, such as initial tax breaks for individual business owners.
However, the rapid economic development and population boom also brought considerable side effects to the Land of Light.
Over the past two years, the economic boom, the rapid development of all industries, and the frenzied expansion of the market have all severely impacted the existing society of the Land of Light.
This caused society to be unable to contain itself, and chaos ensued.
In the beginning, society was only experiencing minor disturbances; there was no collapse or extreme chaos.
However, over the past two years, these situations have become increasingly serious, leading to large-scale social chaos and all sorts of outrageous events.
The number of reports received by the live-streaming Guard Force began to increase rapidly, and the workload of the Uchiha Clan increased dramatically. Almost everyone was extremely busy, and yet, this was still not enough.
The number of reported crimes continues to rise, and social chaos continues to escalate. Even with the Konoha Military Police Force exerting all its efforts, including implementing a 24-hour workday, it remains to be seen how to control the situation.
Ultimately, following the advice of the Nara Clan advisors, the Konoha Military Police Force referred the issue to the Punishments Bureau. After conducting a preliminary investigation, the Punishments Bureau forwarded it to the General Administration.
Ultimately, the question was brought to Uchiha Takashi's table, that is, the discussion table of the Inner Council.
The highest-ranking official of the General Administration, General Kyō Uchiha, placed the document before everyone, then looked at Uchiha Takashi and said, "Clan Head, society has become so chaotic that it's irreconcilable."
The development of all sectors requires social stability. Currently, this turbulent society does not meet our development needs, and we must restore social stability as soon as possible.
The head of the Nara Clan, who was also a member of the Inner Council, said after reviewing the documents, "In my opinion, the reason why society is in such chaos is because of the rapid economic development."
Simply put, the economy developed too quickly, and society couldn't keep up, which led to the current chaos. Perhaps we should try to slow down economic growth.
"No!" said another deacon in the General Administration. "Economic development absolutely cannot be slowed down. Although we are now at peace and stable, major countries outside are still eyeing us covetously."
"Especially the Land of Fire, they're always thinking about reclaiming their land. If we slow down our development and become weaker, how will we defeat the Land of Fire?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the Nara Clan's forehead veins bulged. "I said it's just a slowdown, not a halt to development. We're simply adjusting this rapid development model to high-speed development."
We simply need to transform this pace of development, understand? Transformation? You know nothing about that!
However, the other party didn't accept it, and the two sides started arguing.
Looking at the noisy conference room, Uchiha Takashi took a few deep breaths, then slammed his hand on the table, and the conference room immediately quieted down.
Uchiha Takashi had roughly figured out the situation by now. It was simply a case of economic development leading to social chaos—simple, he already had the standard answer from his previous life.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Takashi slowly said, "Gentlemen, perhaps there is a way to ensure the restoration of social stability without slowing down the pace of development..."
