A comparison of economic power between Joseon and Japan in the 16th century.

 Most hatchers think that it is gradually reversed after the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, while some hatchers think that it has already been reversed during the Heian period, and some hatchers say that the difference in economic power between Joseon and Japan is four times. So I briefly investigated the difference in national power between Joseon and Japan, especially the difference in economic power. The reason why economic power is valued is that momentary defense power sometimes affects national power, but overall, I think the most important thing when it comes to national power is also economic power. (In the case of defense, military is a money-eating monster in the past and now, so if you have a higher economic power, you can have a stronger army. Of course, if you look through the history of war, the rich army does not necessarily win.) Please read it and attach your opinion if you have better data. ================================ First of all, the timing of the survey. It was set based on the condition just before the Japanese Invasion of Korea in the 16th century. The reason is that in the case of Joseon, after the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, it is clearly less economical than Japan. This is because of the seven-year war of the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, Jeongmyo Shrine, and Byeongja Horan War, because it is considered meaningless to compare it with Japan because during the reign of Gwanghaegun, there were not even enough bowls to perform ancestral rites at Jongmyo Shrine. Based on the Heian era, there's almost no data... This is because I think Japan's national power is definitely lower than that of Seoul during the Heian period. The reason is that in terms of the development of various technologies, various advanced technologies through exchanges with Dang, Song, Yo, and Geum in Seoul.For example, they were acquiring pottery manufacturing technology and international exchanges were active, but in the case of Japan, as a closed country, international exchanges were low and the overall level of development was lower than that of Seoul except for sword technology. Therefore, it is because I think the economic power situation just before the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, which many haters think, as well as Sohae, is meaningful that the reversal of national power between Korea and Japan begins to occur. Then I'll write it down. In the pre-modern era, I think agriculture is the most important industry in countries that occupy more than a certain amount of territory, except for commercial-oriented city-states (e.g., Venice or the Hanja-dong Alliance). Moreover, in the case of Joseon and Japan, agriculture was the most important industry no matter what anyone said. According to eight Korean history books from Hangilsa Temple, the land area of the Joseon Dynasty is 1.7 million Gyeol (about 1.5 million Gyeol during King Sejong's reign) before the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. What will be the grain production of the grain of the first grain here? Sejong University enacted the Public Law of the 9th Law of Yeonbun and the 6th Law of Starch, which were differentiated according to the scenery and land reclamation that year. At this time, 4 to 20 heads per grain, which is 1/20 of the yield, were to be paid to the state, and on average, 12 * 20 = 240 heads based on 12 heads. Since one stone is 10 horses, it is estimated that 24 stones of grain are produced on the land of the first grain. According to the book <Formation of the Modern State of Korea and the Gabo Reform (written by King Hyeonjong), the production of 240 heads is not unreasonable at the end of the Joseon Dynasty, so the total agricultural production of 1.7 million * 24 seats = 40.8 million seats. Then, how much agricultural production will be before the Imjin War, that is, during the Japanese national era? After the end of the Japanese national era, Toyotomi Hideyoshi conducted a land survey to establish a modern land ownership system by Kokudaka and distributed land to each Daimyo based on this. Hideyoshi's direct control reached 2 million out of about 18 million seats in Kokudaka across the country, and it was expanded nationwide, especially in the http://www.sungbok.com/zine/jk3_1.htm) <Japanese Society Through the Edo Era>> says that Japan's agricultural production was as follows (http://gsis.hanyang.ac.kr/japan/Forum/Taehun%20Ku.hwp) "In terms of economy." During the Toyotomi period, the direct jurisdiction was about 2.5 million seats in Gwan-dong, but after taking power, the land of several daimyo was confiscated or reduced, and new cultivated land was developed, increasing to about 4 million seats by the end of the 17th century. These heavenly spirits were scattered in various regions, centering on eastern Japan. On top of that, adding about 3 million seats of land distributed to Hatamoto amounts to about 7 million seats in the Tokugawa Shogun. If the national height is calculated to be about 30 million seats, it can be said that about a quarter of the total production was dominated by Tokugawa Shogun. The Maeda clan of Kaga, the largest Daimyo at the time, had 1.02 million seats. The majority of Daimyo had fewer than 50,000 seats. As such, Daimyo's economic power could never be compared to that of Shogun." According to Koichi Yumoto, who wrote "The Modern Scenery of Japan", the reclaimed land, which was about 150ha at the end of the 16th century, doubled by the 18th century, and the difference between the above two figures seems to represent cultivated land. Therefore, the total agricultural output of the Japanese national era can be seen as 18 million seats. I don't know if there are any haters who think that the metrology of the two countries is not consistent here, but no matter how different there is, I don't think we can reverse the gap between 18 million seats and 40 million seats. Of course, if the figures surveyed by Sohae are wrong, the above article will be nothing but nonsense. If you have any other figures, please upload them with related data. Some may argue that Japan's commerce has developed further, but I don't think it has much influence on the economic power of the 16th century because I think it began to flourish at the end of the Warring States period and grew through the Edo period. Also, during the Joseon Dynasty, commerce was not completely excluded, and government trade was still prevalent. =============================== This is the content of the survey. It's not an absolute conclusion, it's a conclusion that came from the research. Therefore, the conclusion can be changed as much as possible if it is a misinvestigation. If you have any other figures or if you know how much Japanese commerce is produced in the national era by converting it into gypsum, please attach a leaf. Or, if you know the paper that compared and investigated the economic power of the two countries, please let me know what it is. One-line summary: Before the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, Joseon's economic power was not inferior to Japan.
