"Under the impact of imperialist forces such as Russia and Japan in Fengtian Province among other places in Manchuria during the late Qing, the Qing government abandoned its original quarantine policy and promoted the administrative reform of the three northeastern provinces in the New Policy Reforms, and launched the modernization of land and financial administration. At the same time, after its victory in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Empire inherited Russia’s rights in Manchuria and carried out land surveys in the Kwantung Leased Territory on the Liaodong Peninsula to promote the modernization of land and financial administration. Using the analytical framework of governmentality and investigative knowledge, this article compares and analyzes the process and nature of land reform in Fengtian Province and in the Kwantung Leased Territory. There are obvious differences between the governmentality and academic knowledge embodied in their respective administrative organizations and investigative techniques. Although Fengtian Province’s land reform was launched with the goal of modernization, it still mainly reflects the traditional governmentality of the Qing dynasty’s patrimonial bureaucracy. Its investigation techniques used in land clearing and fiscal and tax reform were still based on the continuation of traditional knowledge. Therefore, it was difficult to achieve its goals. In contrast, Japan’s land survey of the Kwantung Leased Territory relied on the modern governmentality of modern bureaucracy and used modern knowledge to measure land and investigate finances. Therefore, it was able to meet its goals to a considerable extent." |
