Because Brazil's economy was backward at that time, local finance was far from being able to support nobles like John VI. In order to get rid of the poverty and poverty, John VI decided to grow cash crops-coffee and tea-on a large scale in Brazil.

Except slaves, no one wants to work in hard plantations, and Brazil's economy has been declining all the way. In order to fill the huge labor gap, the Brazilian government turned its attention to Japan, a populous East Asian country.

In Japan, just after the Meiji Restoration, many industries replaced labor with machines, and a large number of industrial workers lost their jobs, which affected the stability of the country. The Japanese government is having a headache about how to arrange these surplus laborers.

The Brazilians found the Japanese government and the two sides hit it off, so the immigration plan began to be in full swing. 1June, 908, the first batch of Japanese crossed the ocean and came to this new land of Brazil to start their new life in Brazil.

In the following decades, Japan continued to immigrate to Brazil, only stopping for a few years during the Second World War. Up to now, nearly 6.5438+0.5 million Japanese descendants have lived in Brazil, enjoying a pivotal position in Brazil.
