im playing as china, i made taxes for middle and upper class into zero percent and zero tariffs but why do they still have lacking everyday goods? i would like to turn my politics into something with laissez faire so they can build on their own but they wont have money even if don't impose taxes... anyone tell me whatswhat's the problem?
 
first off,you need to promote capitalists who are upper class to have them build factories/railroads. so you don't have to worry about not taxing the middle class so much. as for your POPs lacking everyday goods even at 0 tax 0 tariffs, it could be due to a temporary shortage of those goods available on the world market. either that or try putting tariffs in the negatives and see if that helps
 
ok thnx one more question, is there a way where i can make the POPs to automatically convert to the jobs available in the province or state? as china i would like to industrialize but i cant make my POPs to industry workers they just remain being farmers or laborers... and the population increase very fast that i got a problem converting them to clerks or crafstmen
 
nope, there is no way to automatically make farmers/laborers into craftsmen/clerks or anything else for that matter. If you're playing China and it's a matter of not having enough luxury goods/precious metal or whatever you need from the world market, make sure you become civilized first. this will help you get into a position to get these stuff. if it's a matter of not having enough money to promote your POPs, don't hesitate to wait a few years or even a decade if you really need it. there's no need to industrialize in a rush, especially if you can't do it stably.
 
Best thing you can do is build Rail Roads.

And maybe one big pop as clerks for research. They should stay in place but Chinese migrate easily. If it starts emigrating convert it to a Capitalist, it has almost as good research as a clerk.

Nothing in Vicky actually cares about pricing, money is just used as a speed bump.
