Due to a Han revolt in 1623, Nurhaci turned against them and enacted discriminatory policies and killings against them. He ordered that Han who assimilated to the Jurchen (in Jilin) before 1619 be treated equally with Jurchens, not like the conquered Han in Liaodong.

Because of his own political insecurity, Dorgon followed Hong Taiji's example by ruling in the name of the emperor at the expense of rival Manchu princes, many of whom he demoted or imprisoned. Dorgon's precedents and example cast a long shadow. First, the Manchus had entered "South of the Wall" because Dorgon had responded decisively to Wu Sangui's appeal, then, instead of sacking Beijing as the rebels had done, Dorgon insisted, over the protests of other Manchu princes, on making it the dynastic capital and reappointing most Ming officials. No major Chinese dynasty had directly taken over its immediate predecessor's capital, but keeping the Ming capital and bureaucracy intact helped quickly stabilize the regime and sped up the conquest of the rest of the country. Dorgon then drastically reduced the influence of the eunuchs and directed Manchu women not to <a href="/wiki/Foot_binding" title="Foot binding">bind their feet</a> in the Han Chinese style.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESpence201238_49-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESpence201238-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>However, not all of Dorgon's policies were equally popular or as easy to implement.

When he began to realise the extent of the financial crisis, Yongzheng rejected his father's lenient approach to local elites and enforced collection of the land tax. The increased revenues were to be used for "money to nourish honesty" among local officials and for local irrigation, schools, roads, and charity. Although these reforms were effective in the north, in the south and lower Yangtze valley there were long-established networks of officials and landowners. Yongzheng dispatched experienced Manchu commissioners to penetrate the thickets of falsified land registers and coded account books, but they were met with tricks, passivity, and even violence.

The gentry member could legally wear gentry robes and could talk to officials as equals.

Officials drew a salary, which, as the years went by, were less and less adequate, leading to widespread reliance on "squeeze", irregular payments. Those who prepared for but failed the exams, like those who passed but were not appointed to office, could become tutors or teachers, private secretaries to sitting officials, administrators of guilds or temples, or other positions that required literacy.

During the second commercial revolution, for the first time, a large percentage of farming households began producing crops for sale in the local and national markets rather than for their own consumption or barter in the traditional economy. Surplus crops were placed onto the national market for sale, integrating farmers into the commercial economy from the ground up. This naturally led to regions specialising in certain cash-crops for export as China's economy became increasingly reliant on inter-regional trade of bulk staple goods such as cotton, grain, beans, vegetable oils, forest products, animal products, and fertiliser.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERowe2009[[Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_page_number_citations_from_May_2020]]<sup_class="noprint_Inline-Template_"_style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;<i>[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(May_2020)">page&nbsp;needed</span>]]</i>&#93;</sup>_134-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERowe2009[[Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_page_number_citations_from_May_2020]]<sup_class="noprint_Inline-Template_"_style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;<i>[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(May_2020)">page&nbsp;needed</span>]]</i>&#93;</sup>-134"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>124<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Silver">Silver</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:1_dragon_dollar_Qing_dynasty_-_1911.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/1_dragon_dollar_Qing_dynasty_-_1911.png/260px-1_dragon_dollar_Qing_dynasty_-_1911.png" decoding="async" width="260" height="133" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/1_dragon_dollar_Qing_dynasty_-_1911.png/390px-1_dragon_dollar_Qing_dynasty_-_1911.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/1_dragon_dollar_Qing_dynasty_-_1911.png/520px-1_dragon_dollar_Qing_dynasty_-_1911.png 2x" data-file-width="2994" data-file-height="1526" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Silver_coin" title="Silver coin">Silver coin</a>: 1 yuan/dollar <a href="/wiki/Xuantong" class="mw-redirect" title="Xuantong">Xuantong</a> 3rd year – 1911 <a href="/wiki/Chop_marks_on_coins" title="Chop marks on coins">Chopmark</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Silver entered in large quantities from mines in the <a href="/wiki/New_World" title="New World">New World</a> after the Spanish conquered the Philippines in the 1570s.

A third-party had to be brought in to assess the weight and purity of the silver, resulting in an extra "meltage fee" added on to the price of transaction. Furthermore, since the "meltage fee" was unregulated it was the source of corruption. The Yongzheng emperor cracked down on the corrupt "meltage fees", legalizing and regulating them so that they could be collected as a tax.

However, as commercialisation expanded in the late-Ming and early-Qing, mid-sized cities began popping up to direct the flow of domestic, commercial trade. Some towns of this nature had such a large volume of trade and merchants flowing through them that they developed into full-fledged market-towns.

1685, the Kangxi emperor legalised private maritime trade along the coast, establishing a series of customs stations in major port cities. The customs station at Guangzhou became by far the most active in foreign trade; by the late Kangxi reign, more than forty mercantile houses specialising in trade with the West had appeared. The Yongzheng emperor made a parent corporation comprising those forty individual houses in 1725 known as the <a href="/wiki/Cohong" title="Cohong">Cohong</a> system. Firmly established by 1757, the <a href="/wiki/Cohong" title="Cohong">Canton Cohong</a> was an association of thirteen business firms that had been awarded exclusive rights to conduct trade with Western merchants in Canton.
