Why don't Shandong people choose the rich south and go to the cold land when they travel to the East?

Why did Shandong people go to the cold land instead of the rich south when they ventured to Guandong? At that time, it was the time of famine. 99% of the people who crossed the border from Shandong are farmers, and Shandong has always taken agriculture as its main development direction. If they move, they are also for the land. At that time, there were not many places with wasteland in the country, except Tibet and Xinjiang, only the northeast.

Northeast China was the land of Longxing in Qing Dynasty, and it was the retreat left by Manchu people. Han immigrants are prohibited here. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Northeast China was a place with a vast territory and a sparse population. The area of the Northeast Plain is larger than that of the North China Plain, and the soil is more fertile, but the population is only several million.

If you come to the northeast to farm, those fields will all be your own. There is also a lot of oil in the northeast, and the resources are very rich. At that time, the rich Jiangnan was densely populated, and there were not many job opportunities for foreigners. Only by going to sparsely populated places will there be more job opportunities, and so will going west and going down to Nanyang.

After the Eight Banners of Manchu entered the customs, their sudden victory was completely unexpected. At that time, there were only over 200,000 people in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, while there were tens of millions of Han people in the Central Plains. The country they want to manage is an empire with a population hundreds of times larger than their own. At that time, Manchu didn't have much confidence. The rulers at that time always thought that they would be replaced one day, and then they had to retreat to the northeast and return to the birthplace of their ancestors.

But I was particularly afraid that the Northeast would be occupied by Han Chinese, so I didn't allow Han Chinese to live in some Northeast areas. This policy was not abolished until the late Qing Dynasty. Shandong is a populous province. Because of the famine, it is difficult for everyone to survive. As a result, a large number of Shandong people began to plan their way out for their livelihood. The reason why I went to the northeast in the cold zone was because there were not many people living in the northeast at that time, which was more conducive to the survival of Shandong people.

Because there were many refugees and a large population in the south, it was difficult to feed a group of refugees. At that time, there was a lot of idle land in the northeast. At that time, as long as there was land, food could be grown, and there would be no fear of starvation and freezing. Shandong people ventured into Kanto, which was also an economic behavior at that time, reclaiming wasteland and doing business. Forced to make a living and leave home. In a foreign land, it is also for hardship and entrepreneurship, for survival and for improving the existing life.

The three northeastern provinces with fertile soil and rich resources, such black land, naturally provide this opportunity for a large number of Shandong people. Moreover, at that time, thousands of people in Shandong, Hebei and other places set foot on the land of the three northeastern provinces to make a living, which also greatly changed the socio-economic population structure of the three northeastern provinces.
