In 1678.., rice and cloth were deprived forever of their monetary function" (M. Ichihars, Coinage of old Korea, Transactions Korea Branch R.A.S. IV part 2, 1913, bl. 61).

Kanghi, Yoongjung, and Kienloong, frequently remitted the tribute, demanding only a tithe, treating the Coreans like Chinese" (Ross, History Corea, bl. 288).
"Since the Tang dynasty overwhelmed Corea, it has had only glimpses of absolute self-government; but, at the same time, it has had only brief intervals when it had not virtual self-government. Its vassalage to the Manchu government, secured at a sacrifice of a few years' dispeace and slaughter, and of some further years of somewhat severe taxation, has mainly been virtually nominal....a yearly or half-yearly tribute is sent in to Peking, accompanied by a host of merchants, who bring back profits much greater than the amount of the tribute" (Ross, a. v., bl. 365).
