本研究は、これまで経済史において外圧という視座から検討されてきた海関関係資料の中で未検討であった人事資料を、新たに清朝と外国を統合する国際経済関係という視角から、経済社会、財政金融政策に亘って検討した。より具体的には、(1)膨大で多様な海関人事関連資料を可能な限り系統的に収集、整理分類し、データベース化し、複合的な検索を可能とする項目を策定して基礎データを構築した。これに基づいて、海関人事の国際的特徴と長期の変動を統計的に明らかにした。(2)借款など金融財政政策における国際的関係に登場する海関関連人材相互の関係を検討し、国際共同経営組織たる中国海関の歴史的特徴を明らかにした。

Large-scale migration occurred from the late 19th century to the 1930's.There were 3 directions: from north to northeast, from inland areas to the coastal big cities, and from the south to southeast Asia; the southward and northward labor migrations being roughly equal.There was a short-term, periodic migration of farm workers and the like along with long-term or permanent abode-oriented (immigration) type of migration.Agriculture and mining in the northeastern region, industry in the coastal region, and commerce and sugar or rubber plantations in southeast Asia, were popular.In each of these cases, the provincial, affiliated relations of the migrants’ native places were maintained without interruption and, based on the development of various organizations mediating the migration, labor migration was made easy.However, in terms of proficiency of the labor force and the relatively low correlation with industry should be noted.With regard to the transfer of funds, there existed locally a country-wide remittance network of Shanxi bankers and the Remitting Houses directing remittances of Chinese merchants residing abroad in southeast Asia, which formed an international remittance network.The latter possessed several remittance routes based on Singapore and Hong Kong along with diverse exchange remittance functions.The client in southeast Asia pays into the Remitting Houses with local currency.It is then remitted to the agent in Hong Kong by Hong Kong dollars, exchanged for the currency of the People's Republic of China, and sent to agents in Fujian and Guangdong from where it is submitted to the remittee through the agent at home.This route was the established mode of the Remitting Houses, but even within this process there existed such forms as cancellation by countervailing by exchange trading in Singapore and Hong Kong, the abbreviation of cash remittance through merchandise transactions, and countervailing through trade connections by forming directly a settling connection with Guangdong and Amoy where remittances were concentrated.Selection was made among these, depending upon the price of merchandise and exchange rate in the market, and involved a close relationship between the southern Chinese economy and the money markets in Hong Kong and Singapore.Based on these general background, this paper tried to examine the history of emigration of Chao-Zhou people in the east Guangdong province and their relationship with their home land.
