A complete set of reforms in Dongying's overseas territory was set by Bai Nan and meticulously formulated and implemented by the entire huge Datang administrative department. Because of the military occupation, this kind www.biquge.info of reform was completely different from the reform of the Meiji Restoration, and there was no need for the overseas government to compromise with anyone or any force, only the implementation of the trade-offs, and only the part that was crushed if it did not resist the reform policy with all its might.

The first reform of Japan by the Toei Overseas Consulate was the abolition of the samurai system, which was formed by a combination of policies. The existence of the feudal domains was abolished, and the land belonging to the daimyo was completely handed over to the overseas government except for a small number of approved lands that were kept as private property (which was quite limited). Overseas consular governments set up new unitary administrative divisions, with provinces under the territory and counties under the provinces. This prefecture is equivalent to another prefecture in Japan.

The daimyo had to take the initiative to surrender their land, various rights and assets, and the samurai had to automatically report to the overseas consulate for naturalization, and accept various arrangements after the overseas consulate, and the samurai were not allowed to leave their place of residence, which was also to prevent them from becoming ronin and disrupting the peace. The samurai were also subject to the abolition of the sword, and they were not allowed to carry weapons on the streets openly or be forced to dispose of them. A considerable number of samurai resisted this decree and went their own way, still carrying samurai swords on the streets, while the local Tang army, which was responsible for maintaining law and order, generally shot them directly if they were resisted or even violently hostile after giving warnings. There are countless samurai who have died on it, and there have even been samurai riots and collective suicides because of this incident, but Datang is very ruthless and tough in the face of this situation, and will never retreat.

Although rebellion and chaos followed. But overall. It doesn't change the big picture. Bai Nan privately described the Tang Dynasty's military occupation of Japan. It's like an alien from outer space invading the earth, and the technology level and ability are so different that the other party has no power to resist. The people who are responsible for local security in Japan are actually soldiers of Japanese descent in the Tang Dynasty, so these guys will not be merciful to the samurai of their own race. In fact, the Japanese soldiers of Tang origin also enjoyed a sense of superiority over these old samurai, many of whom may have been lower-class samurai or peasant children, and they had to bow their heads in the face of these samurai. But now they have to look down on them, and in Japan's violent factor culture, restless guys must be forcefully suppressed.

Overseas government in one step to promote equality for all, whether it is a samurai, a peasant or a businessman, after the statistics, no one exists in an economically and politically privileged position, although it will take a while to break the hierarchy in people's hearts, but such a reform will be more convenient for the Tang Dynasty to rule Japan, and it will also be convenient for the Tang Dynasty to squeeze more Japanese energy for its own use.

Economic reforms are also a priority. First of all, after the feudal system was removed, land began to be allowed to be bought and sold. Of course, more land was transferred to the newly formed agricultural cooperatives by overseas governments. This new system requires a relatively large number of people to guide and manage, but fortunately, the Tang Dynasty has ruled Ou Yu for ten years, and a considerable number of people are familiar with this new system, and can be sent to other regions of Dongying Overseas Territory to assist in the establishment of new cooperatives.

The cooperatives are also responsible for providing improved seeds, fertilizers, and various agricultural services, and the agricultural cooperatives are also an effective grassroots management organization, which can make it easier for Datang to control the vast majority of Japanese working people. And after these people are controlled, Datang will be able to control the Japanese society.

In the reform of the overseas territories, there are similar contents to the Meiji Restoration, but on the whole, compared with the creation of a more independent industrial system for the establishment of the colonial industry, the industrial and commercial economic reform of the overseas territories has paid more attention to Japan as a sub-economy and a supplement to the large economy of Daetang.

The Overseas Consulate abolished all checkpoints in Japan, opened a transportation and communications department under the Overseas Consulate, built railways, highways, ports, and airports in Japan, and set up telephone and telegraph offices. In the Tanuma period, Japan had some attempts at electrification, but the scale was still relatively small, and Datang planned to build a relatively complete power grid in Edo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya and other places to achieve a more modern city. Naturally, a number of industries will also appear in the vicinity of these cities. These industries will be dominated by civilian light industry, mainly to take advantage of Japan's labor force, Japan's resources are relatively lacking, so Datang is not prepared to develop much heavy industry here, naturally lack heavy industry areas, will not be particularly strong, but also a part of the Tang people who have always been wary of Japan can accept.

Compared with the Meiji Restoration, Datang's industrial revolution in Japan was selective in degree, but it was a relatively large improvement in depth and quality. The overseas government intends to increase the proportion of the secondary industry in the economy to about 20%, so Japan will continue to be a predominantly agricultural country. In addition, due to the tying of Japan to Datang's chariot, Datang has no interest in maintaining Japan's basic food self-sufficiency, just like the previous Ou Overseas Territory, which was originally the entire grain production area of Japan, but gradually due to the lack of dominance of local grain, coupled with agricultural cooperatives can guide the planting of cash crops, the development of domestic animal husbandry and forestry, Oyu's local food more and more depends on the food supply from Datang. Extended to the whole of Japan will also be like this, the unique agricultural conditions of the Tang Dynasty make a large amount of surplus grain difficult to digest, and the local grain merchants are eager for the Japanese not to grow grain, and the whole of the Datang Mainland to buy grain.

The clamping of grain will also make Japan lack more economic independence, and a large number of locally produced cash crops in Japan, such as silk, will also be provided to the textile industry in Datang or the China Special Economic Zone when the local processing capacity is insufficient.

Overseas governments are indeed considering improving the lives of ordinary Japanese, including introducing a large number of cheap Datang daily necessities and food into the Japanese market to reduce the cost of living for local people, but it seems that Datang has no interest in reappearing in Japan, another industrial powerhouse, in the short term. Datang's main focus on industry and technology is still in the local area, and even in the local area, it is developing a cluster effect in the three states on the west coast and the three states on the east coast, rather than laying industries everywhere.
