It is generally said that the Qing dynasty abondoned the prohibition policy against marine trade after the Zheng government of Taiwan collapsed. But in my opinion, as far as the rice trade is concerned the state continued the restriction under the name of shutting supply against pirates. That is called Mijin policy. In Fujian they fell short of rice after Mijin policy started. So the state transported the rice of Taiwan to Fujian and took the Pingtiao policy-selling the rice owned by the state at lower price in case of a jump of rice price. But the local governors requested the state to remobe Mijin because the Pingtiao policy was not much effective. The state adopted the Caimai policy-purchase of rice by entrusted private merchants, and permitted free circulation in part. The immediate purpose of Mijin policy was to prevent a jump of rice price in Jiangnan caused by purchase of it by merchants of Fujian. But the true purpose was the control of rice trade under the compulsion of the state. Mijin policy made active the trade between Fujian and Taiwan, and Xiamen prospered as a relay position. But in the late Qing period Taiwan directly traded with Jiangnan much more as the restriction of rice trade became loose, and the trade between Fujian and Taiwan declined. Though Fujian had the circulation of rice broken, Fujian continued to depend upon the Jiangnan market and never formed its own economic circle.
