The canals might have been the first major possession of the Wasi King but they would be one of the first to go. The canals can be seen as a driving force of change in Canespa. They lead to the Wasi King being able to capture the gaze of the people and centralize the state and they lead to the economic modernization of Canespa, a modernization that wouldn’t copy occidentals but instead it took the good from their systems and merged it with the inner culture of Canespa. By 1750 the first companies as they were called began to form. This was made possible by the adoption of food as currency in Canespa with certain paying standards and minimum food wages being made by the Wasi King. To help promote this burgeoning economy the slightly larger business owners who started to transport their products through the dams were given slightly lower passing rates to use the canals. This inspired many canal owners to start building their own canals after they saw the large increase in profits following a minor reduction, it became an arms race for who could build their own canals and reduce their own rates to 0. A few companies would end up winning the race in their respective areas but none could develop a full monopoly. Once new canals had been built up, bigger, better, and deeper than ever before, the companies started to offer to pay the upkeep on the canals for cheaper prices. This would only further develop into the companies outright buying the canals. Soon the original goods produced by the newly found Qumir Companies as they were appropriately named ceased to exist. Realizing the true profit of owning the canals the companies soon switched to a completely canal based income where they, instead of the government, would collect rates on all the goods shipping through. | |||
