Inciting public opinion first, this is Chen Ming's usual trick. No matter how blunt he is, he always has to create a wave of 'public opinion'. Now Chen Ming wants to take action against the old system and interest structure of North Korea, and that is what he has done.

If you stink their reputation first, then you will shatter the biggest reliance of these North Korean magnates. And without fame, no matter how powerful the powerful Korean elite family is, they are still pigs and sheep to be slaughtered under the imperial army.

The "Financial Daily" smeared and smeared the two classes of aristocracy and power politics in North Korea, and added all the sources of ills and disasters in North Korea to the heads of the two classes of aristocrats and power politics.

"After the Japanese rebellion, there were two attacks on the dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Korea was defeated, there was no way to fight back, the majesty of the royal family was greatly reduced, and the rights and interests of the royal family were greatly reduced, coupled with the oppression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the taxes within North Korea were increased, and the bureaucrats and local tyrants took the opportunity to annex the land on a large scale. As I said before, under the tribute system, the peasants often had to pay several times more tribute in order to seek heavy profits. This has been the case in North Korea since the implementation of the Taedong Law. Just like the officials in China in the past, the imperial court had to collect a penny of tax, and they could push a tael of taxes.

The intensification of land annexation, as well as economic development and the prevalence of usury, created class divisions in the countryside. Farmers who can protect the land of their fathers and ancestors and not sell it to others are also one or two out of ten. It is common for farmers to have no land, but to plough their fields. The peasants cultivated the landlords' land, and the tax burden was at least half of the harvest. Excluding seeds, fake loans, and pre-year grain, the income is only one or two ......."

The newspaper recounted the peasant revolt that occurred last winter, the cause and course of the incident, and attributed the ultimate cause to the greed and brutality of the two classes of Korean nobles, as well as the tragic fate of these Korean peasants. 'Kim Ki-dae' revealed the true situation of the political situation in North Korea at the moment - the local situation is too powerful and difficult to control, and in that chaotic situation, as the highest official in North Korea, his words are not recognized by the local real power officials at all, so as to get rid of Kim Ki-dae's own responsibility. So this uprising, which had been showing signs for a long time, was not stopped by Kim Ki-dae, and it became understandable.

It's a long, long passage with lots and lots of ugliness in between.

The rebellious peasants killed some of the low-level nobles of Korea, and the land they originally owned and the land of the latter were now all in the pockets of the middle and upper echelons, and even the rioting peasants themselves became commodities for the two classes of nobles to earn profits. When contradictions are brewing, the power stratum not only does not resolve and soothe them, but uses more drastic means to stimulate and promote the development of contradictions.

A lot of the black materials were collected by the national security in secret, and now they are being told by the "Financial Daily" through the mouth of Kim Ki-dae. This is, of course, a serious violation of Kim Ki-dae.

“………… Exploitation in Korea was increasing, and the exodus of peasants and small armed uprisings had been raging before the Manchu invasion. The peasants were displaced, and the countryside was barren. The disappearance of the peasants' enthusiasm for production and the occupation of the embankment by the two classes of aristocrats at the bottom led to the destruction of water conservancy and irrigation facilities, which seriously hindered the development of agricultural production......"

In Chen Ming's eyes, the current Joseon is a more stable old system than the previous Chinese landlord and gentry class, and the two classes of nobles are like the scholars and doctors of the Song and Song dynasties, not only have a higher reputation than the gentry class in Ming and Qing China, but also have absolute official support. It took hundreds of years to form the current old system, which has not yet come to an end according to historical development, and it is so controlling.

Peasants, merchants, craftsmen, all came under the control of this system.

Like a tree with lush foliage, its roots buried deep in the soil must be deep and developed beyond the imagination of mortals.

No one knows, Chen Ming has discussed this matter with Chen Cong several times, until he made a decision to sweep away the entire North Korea by thunderbolt means, Chen Cong was still looking at himself with a worried face, Chen Ming asked him to speak freely, because these discussions are only him and Chen Cong, if you have anything to say, just say it!

Chen Cong is still firm in his belief - in fact, it is also Chen Ming's original 'plan' for North Korea, one country, two systems.

At that time, Chen Ming took into account the special situation of North Korea, and prepared to incorporate part of North Korea into the Northeast, that is, the four counties of Zhenfan, Lintun, Lelang, and Xuanxuan during the Han Dynasty, and then the other territories were divided into one province, and temporarily implemented the old routine that was beneficial to the two classes of nobles, and slowly made small changes to it, and finally gathered sand into piles, brewing a mighty torrent, and cleaning Korea as a whole.

But with the preliminary population statistics of North Korea reported to Nanjing two years ago, Chen Ming saw that the population of the land north of Gyeonggi Province in North Korea was only more than one million, and at that time he thought that it was better not to talk about Zhenfan, Lintun, Lelang, and Xuanxuan, and directly divide the north and south. North Korea immediately adopted the Han system, and South Korea continued to have one country, two systems.

But now, Chen Ming wants to immediately implement the Han system and impose Han law on the whole of Korea. There is no time interval, no buffer, no initial preferential treatment in politics and economy. All the old system that was beneficial to the two classes of nobility was abolished, except for the grace of the Joseon - a special expedition was held for the DPRK and the officials were selected.

Chen Cong felt that this was too radical, and he said quite seriously at that time: "Your Majesty's idea is not disagreeable, but reforming the tax system, reducing rent and interest, paying taxes by officials and businessmen, and paying taxes by ladder will cause panic among the North Korean power class." The minister believes that as long as this policy is issued, the big families in the whole of North Korea will probably make a fuss overnight! Even if the army can easily suppress the whole of North Korea, then North Korea will definitely be in a depression, which is very unfavorable to the situation in North Korea! ”

But Chen Ming smiled and nodded, "Uncle Wang, don't you think my previous plan was too conservative." North Korea is all around us, and if it can't be solved cleanly, how will we solve Annan and Myanmar in the future? How to solve those local toasts? Of course, Chen Ming's sudden change of attitude is related to Chen Ming's deep disgust by North Korea before.

"In order to incorporate North Korea into the country, it is necessary to completely tear off the messy lines of interests on North Korean soil. I've been thinking about how to break this situation for a long time. In Korea, there are two classes of nobles who control everything, which does not mean that it can be done by changing the magistrate. "How many years has Chen Han's township official system been in place, and aren't there still remnants of old forces in some places? Without changing the fundamental 'change' is useless, just like Emperor Chongzhen, he has changed so many ministers, but this holy purpose may be a holy decree in the Forbidden City, and I don't know what to do when I leave the Forbidden City. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the six ministries of the cabinet were in violation of the holy decree, and it was impossible to break this situation by relying on moderation.

In the past, Chen Ming's plan was based on harmony and beauty, but now that North Korea has engaged in internal strife, harmony and beauty no longer exist. Then let's start from pragmatism.

"I am ready to start immigration in North Korea, and I can take advantage of the favorable conditions of immigrants in North America, Nanmingzhou and Nanyang, and have the right to attract immigrants."

"In addition, I am going to expand the mines in northern Korea. The northern part of the DPRK is rich in mining resources, such as iron ore, copper ore, gold and silver ore. In addition, North Korea is rich in magnesite, which ranks first in the world in terms of reserves, and seven strategic minerals such as tungsten, molybdenum, graphite, barite, and fluorite are also among the top in the world. None of this stuff is useful now, though.

But the value of North Korean mines is clear.

In some reports related to North Korea in the last life, Chinese mining groups have invested a lot of money in North Korea's mining industry, such as Huishan Copper Mine, Maoshan Iron Mine, Longdeng Coal Mine, etc., all of which are signed for decades of operation rights. Although none of these mines are famous. Maybe it's still in the middle of the mountains, and it's difficult to mine on a large scale, but why don't you try to mine it?

Anyway, Chen Ming has made up his mind, and while completely sinicizing North Korea politically, he also vigorously withdraws human resources from the Korean people, either investing in distant immigrants, which is equivalent to 'spreading the branches' to the North Koreans; or developing labor-intensive mining industries, greatly reducing the number of labor-bound laborers, just like the phenomenon that the gentry and landlords in China have faced in the past few years - the tenants are decreasing, and when the peasants have more options, if the landlords and gentry do not take the initiative to reduce the land rent, Labor can also flow to other industries, and it is a sorrow that the land in the countryside no longer belongs to the peasants, and it is an even greater sorrow that the fields in the countryside are no longer cultivated by peasants.

In the past, in order to retain tenants and make greater profits, China's gentry and landlords gradually switched from the traditional model to the farm economy, which undoubtedly brought great impetus to Chinese society. And the same scene should now be seen in North Korea.

Chen Ming wanted to use the strongest means to tell the former power class in North Korea that land is only a means of production, and labor is the productive force. Without labour, the means of production are only means of production, not wealth for their needs.

In addition, Chen Ming will also implement a strict monetary system in North Korea, if he can harvest a sum of gold, silver and precious metals from North Korea, then for the benefit of the Chen Han central government, it will not only be so much gold and silver precious metals.

North Korea has relatively rich silver mines. In the early days of the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, in order to avoid the Ming Dynasty's harsh demands on Korean gold and silver, Lee even banned mining. When the rebellion came, in order to supplement the military expenses, technicians were hired from the Ming Dynasty to vigorously develop the silver mines of Duanchuan, and after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the Korean trade with the Qing Dynasty, its demand for silver and gold increased day by day, and the Korean government allowed the local merchants and nobles to mine silver ore in Paju, Jiaohe, Gushan, Gongju and other places during the Shunzhi period, and the government levied taxes according to the output. At that time, there were 68 silver mines in the entire territory of Korea.

In the early days of Kang Mazi, the silver mines in North Korea were operated by the government. In the early Qianlong period, as the production of silver mines decreased, the central government of North Korea handed over the silver mines to local management. Subsequently, the central government of North Korea began mining gold in Chengju and Suian, but both stopped due to the lack of official efficiency. However, at the same time, the practice of private gold mining in North Korea was becoming more and more popular. According to statistics, most of the people in Pyongan Province in North Korea are in the Golden Cave, and at the same time, Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, Hwanghae, Pyongan, Gangwon, and Hamgyong provinces have been privately mining copper, silver, gold, and sand gold.

Copper mining in North Korea was initially not well developed, as North Korea could rely on Japan for copper supply. However, during the Yongqian period, as the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan stopped exporting copper, and the Qing Dynasty demanded a large supply of copper, Korean copper mines also developed.

Chen Ming does not know much about the specific distribution of North Korea's minerals, gold and silver mines are one of his followers, if the previous coal mines, iron mines, and copper mines can not attract a large number of laborers, Chen Ming will completely open North Korea's gold and silver mines.
