In the eighth year of the Apocalypse, the North was reformed, which was a feast, which meant that all merchants and landlords would be included in the tax system.

At the same time, the state-owned capital consortium has also begun to fully digest the entire northern market.

For ordinary people, this is a very big change. The first is the continuous enclosure movement, in which a large number of peasants have left the land, either voluntarily or forcedly, and have moved into the towns to participate in industrial activities.

At the same time, for many people, their incomes have increased.

And for some of the people who can't keep up with the times, they fall into a situation of unemployment and become poorer. However, this is a macro regulation and development, and under the various policies of the imperial court, the basic right to survival is guaranteed. And those who are very poor can choose to emigrate overseas.

So in the eighth year of the apocalypse, many people immigrated to Nanyang and Australia.

Among them, the number of immigrants from the southern provinces was also quite large, while in the northern regions, the population generally shifted to the east, and began to gather in Shandong and Beizhili. At the same time, the population is gathering in the Western Regions, and the population of the Western Regions is also increasing.

Both Beizhili and Shandong have the advantage of shipping, so there are many industries, and it is very normal for the population to gather in Beizhili and Shandong. At the same time, the population of Northeast China is still growing, and the abundant resources have attracted groups of people to go to Northeast China to make a living.

In this year, under the command of Sun Chuanting, the Ming army officially advanced to the outer northeast and completely occupied the south of the Outer Xing'an Mountains. At the same time, it expanded westward to the east of Lake Baikal and bordered a large area of Mobei Mongolia.

One production corps after another was transferred to the northeast and began to reclaim land everywhere in the border areas, and nearly 30 production corps were formed one after another.

These production corps have reclaimed a large amount of land. As long as the highway is built wherever it goes. The Han people in the Northeast are developed wherever they go. Under the protection of the barrier formed by these production corps. Hermes-Epitek is very safe in the Northeast and does not have to worry about being attacked by foreign races.

The scale of agricultural production in Northeast China is growing rapidly every year, and the scale of cultivated land reclaimed in Northeast China has reached about 350 million mu in the eighth year of the Apocalypse, and it is still growing.

Although the Outer Northeast is colder, agriculture can still be engaged, although the land output is relatively low, the number of acres can be used to supplement personal production efficiency, and projects such as deer, mink, and fox breeding can be developed. It's also a treasure trove.

A large number of forest resources in the Northeast are now being developed in an orderly manner. After the trees are fell, they are planted.

There is a shortage of timber in the northern provinces, mainly because in the past, no one replanted trees after they were cut down. At the same time, agriculture in the plains continued to develop, and the forests naturally disappeared many years ago.

The timber of the Northeast has a good supporting role in the economic development of the northern provinces, and a large amount of timber is transported from the Northeast into the customs, as well as a large number of wooden furniture, paper and other products.

The resources of this land are so abundant that the people who immigrate here feel like they have come to heaven. The only problem is that it is a little colder in winter, but you can survive it with a clay kang.

Compared with. The immigrants from the north and south islands of Zhendong Province are also living well, and they are also encountering abundant resources that have not been exploited in the past.

Every time there is a fishing flood, there are endless fish in the sea.

In the entire northeastern region, trade with the provinces of Kannai is extremely large, and the economic division of labor has been formed. The Tohoku region provides commercial grain, fishery, timber, and mineral resources to the Kannai, while the Kannai region exports various industrial commodities to the Tohoku region.

North Korea, for its part, is supplying the Ming with a variety of industrial raw materials, as well as a large number of cheap laborers. A large number of goods poured into North Korea, resulting in the rising unemployment rate in North Korea, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty continued to annex land in North Korea, and many farmers were forced to leave the land, so North Korea has a lot of labor to export.

There was a slight problem with trade with Japan, when the Tokugawa shogunate, the three most powerful daimyo in Japan, was in turmoil. The Tokugawa shogunate suppressed three exogenous daimyo at the same time, and it was also a daimyo with the support of the Ming Dynasty, which was completely unbearable.

I felt that if I continued to fight, the Tokugawa shogunate would be dragged into an endless quagmire. Tokugawa Hidetada finally bowed his head to the Great Ming and expressed his willingness to have a good talk with the Upper Kingdom, and the Tokugawa Shogunate could accept the conditions of the Upper Kingdom on the issue of opening the market.

Tokugawa Hidetada can't accept softness, he is really messed up, the price of being tough to the end is too great, and he vows not to give up if he doesn't achieve his goal.

The Tokugawa shogunate quickly agreed to various conditions, and the Ming side also promised the Tokugawa shogunate that if a large number of Ming goods poured into Japan and affected the livelihood of the Japanese people, the Ming could recruit workers in Japan and arrange for Japanese people to go to sea to work and make money.

The peace negotiations were soon carried out under the auspices of the Ming Dynasty, and those few foreign daimyo who were rebelled by the Ming Dynasty, if they lost the support of the Ming Dynasty, they were easily destroyed by the Tokugawa shogunate supported by the Ming Dynasty, and naturally they could only accept the peace talks.

After some negotiations, the war finally subsided.

The Tokugawa shogunate recognized the three daimyo with a high degree of autonomy and the right to free trade with the Ming dynasty, and the three daimyos remained subject to the Tokugawa shogunate.

The whole of Japan quickly returned to normal order, but Japan's policy of closing the country to the outside world has been shocked by the Ming Dynasty.

The Tokugawa shogunate promised to open the market, which was the main price for peace talks.

With the success of the peace talks, the merchant fleet of the Ming Dynasty returned to Japan and began to visit frequently. A large amount of low-cost cotton cloth poured into the Japanese textile market, which directly had a very serious impact on Japan's smallholder economy. Many handicrafts in Japan were soon finished under the impact of Ming goods.

Unemployment and poverty began to appear in large numbers in Japan.

This was the price of compromise between the Tokugawa shogunate, but in the course of the trade between the Tokugawa shogunate and the Ming dynasty, the income from the copper mine was relatively rich. In order to improve the financial situation, the Tokugawa shogunate had to continuously increase the scale of copper mining.

In contrast, the situation in the countries of Indochina is much better. After the influx of goods into the Indochina Peninsula in large quantities, it also caused a great economic impact on the countries of the Central Peninsula, and many people lost their jobs. However, the Indochina Peninsula is rich in resources after all, and those handicraftsmen who cannot survive can be transformed into agricultural producers, after all, there are uncultivated land resources everywhere.

And the grain produced, Daming purchased a large number of them.

For the Khmer and Siam, the situation was not very bad, but for Annan, it was a little worse. Annam was more developed than the Khmer and Siam, and did not have as much land to accommodate so many unemployed artisans.

In Annam, which was in a state of division, the government of the Southern Dynasty made the decision to restrict the import of Ming goods, and they did not know that the Ming had just taught Japan a lesson for similar reasons. (To be continued.) )
