Same deal. A lot of money goes through daimyo, not as much stays.
With all the Kami still around, I guess we're not quite at the absurd wealth levels Daimyo would have in more modern L5R.

Let's just add "Develop a system of debt and interest" to the Makime generational to-do list.
Loooooooong term goals.
We will not be adding borrowing with interesting or its nightmare cousin, the stock market, for a very long time. The GM does enough political yelling about such things in real life.
