Turn

 * The Great Union of Korea and China withdraws from the Khanate, but signs a mutual pact rendering it a protected state (not protectorate, which implies the loss of suzerainty). The Emperor officially denounces Makanism, scrutinizing it an unholy union between two incompatible faiths. To counter its spread, it sends Korean Nestorianist/Orientalist-rite Christian missionaries to Indochina en-masse, and encourage other Christian denominations (particularly the Roman Catholic Church) to follow suit. After affirming its status as the main Asian regional in the Russo–Korean War, the government continues to construct industrial complexes aimed at augmenting the military-industrial sector, thereby consolidating state power (the basic internal policy of the dynasty). Commerce is also promoted, with merchant guilds flourishing. Due to external demand for exports, and the rise in food supply (due to the implementation of modern agricultural techniques and usage of high-yield crops such as maize and potatoes), a division of labour is made. Many peasants and serfs shift from an agrarian lifestyle to work in the cultivation of cash crops (such as tea or cotton) or in the production of luxury goods (such as porcelain and silk). As Lord Sui Wuseung formally retakes control over the Yunnan autonomous province, a group of Hui officials assassinate him and his sons, taking control of the court and formally declaring secession from the Union. As a result, twenty-thousand levies are sent to quell the revolt. The Emperor begins enacts the Hui Protocol: calling for the total extermination and eradication of the Hui ethnic identity. This results in the expulsion of various Hui enclaves, with many being forcibly converted back to Confucianism. Those who refuse are routinely massacred. In midst of the atrocities, the Korean tea culture continues to proliferate and diversify, with new variants being coined.

Meanwhile, he endorses a more statist-internal policy, promoting the pragmatic consolidation of the state's military and economic powers; developing industrial complexes producing weaponries, armouries, and other manufactures, and erecting blast-furnaces. With more farmers engaging in the cultivation of cash crops such as cotton, as well as the cultivation of silk-worms to produce highly-lucrative silk, the textiles industry flourishes.

The Ministry of Royal Sciences receives heavy investment, with many prodigious and highly-educated scholars being sent there after completing their tertiary education. Innovation is indirectly incentivized, with the advent of heightened wages (particularly within more urbanized regions such as river basins) enacted after the labour vacuum succeeding the Jin Conquest of China, coupled with stricter property laws.
