Manchu immigrants

Changbai Mountain is the land of Longxing after Manchu established Beijing as its capital. A large number of satisfied people entered the Central Plains, limiting a wave of immigrants. At the same time, some people go abroad to explore. At that time, in order to maintain the rule of the Manchu dynasty and improve the vast and sparsely populated situation in Northeast China. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Qing dynasty allowed farmers to enter the customs to open up wasteland for farming and at the same time tap resources. During this period, Changbai Mountain was reclaimed on a large scale.

Why should we reclaim Changbai Mountain? In fact, the reason is very simple. Point 1 After the Qing army entered the customs, there were almost no people outside the customs. At that time, all the Manchu nobles moved to Shanhaiguan pass, which was quite unstable for a big family, because once they were untenable in Shanhaiguan pass, everything outside Shanhaiguan pass would be in vain. Therefore, to maintain the vitality of the areas outside the customs, it is necessary for a group of Han Chinese to enter the areas outside the customs and continue to cultivate and maintain the vitality of these areas. They need it from time to time.

The second point is that there are abundant resources outside the customs, and the Qing government needed to replenish them in time after years of war. However, in the mainland, their foundation is unstable, so people are allowed to enter the customs for mining. This can not only ensure the needs of the Qing Dynasty, but also promote the economic development of Shanhaiguan at that time. At that time, most of the people who entered the customs were mainly exploiting resources and cultivated land.

The third and most important point is that most people in the Qing dynasty entered the customs at that time, but almost no one was outside. However, there are still many Manchu nobles in the area outside the customs. Therefore, some civilians are still needed to mine in the customs area to maintain their daily needs. Maintaining the mining in these areas will also preserve a production system to a certain extent, which can not only be used by the remaining Manchu nobles, but also make the retreated Manchu nobles as a base for development. However, the Qing dynasty also realized that too many people fled to the customs, which destroyed the ecological balance of the customs, so the Qing dynasty later banned people from going to the customs.
