Turn

 * Great Union of Korea and China: The Emperor utilizes the peach given to Empress Dowager Gong to legitimize his claim on the Mandate of Heaven. Meanwhile, four hundred levies are mobilized and sent across the border to conquer the Yangtze river delta. Meanwhile, the Emperor launches an edict declaring the mass-relocation of the Hui to the provinces of Ningxia and Gansu, to segregate them from the mainstream population. A proposal is debated within the imperial court suggesting the designation of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Gansu, Ningxia, and Sichuan as specially administrative regions semi-autonomous from the central government. The hopae (tagging) system continues to be enforced as to consolidate and tighten state control. The tax system is reformed, forcing all households to pay a universal tax rate (which is lower than the one previously set). This reduces tax burdens on the peasantry, but tax revenue overall increases due to the inclusion of high-income households previously exempted. With increased agricultural productivity stemming from the cultivation of low-maintenance high-yielding crops (such as sweet potatoes, soy, and maize) in rich Manchurian soil, the food supply is heightened. The augmentation of industrial complexes continue, whilst quarries harnessing gold reserves are constructed. Royal envoys are sent to Tibet, the Great Khanate, Tondo, and Japan demanding tribute and the recognition of the new royalty as the holders of the Mandate of Heaven ( MOD RESPONSE ).
