The rule of Hongwu, also known as the prosperous time of Hongwu, was one of the prosperous times in the third day of Ming Dynasty.
1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtianfu, Jinling, and the Ming Dynasty was formally established. During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he ordered farmers to return to farming and reward reclamation; Vigorously engage in resettlement and military camp construction; Organize local farmers to build water conservancy projects.
Vigorously promote the cultivation of mulberry, hemp, cotton and other cash crops and fruit and wood crops, he will only enrich the people and restrain the mighty; Ordered the liberation of handmaiden; Reduce the tax burden and severely punish corrupt officials; Send people to all parts of the country to measure land, audit accounts and so on.
In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, the land used by the Yellow Book to collect land tax was as high as 8 million, which was much higher than 6 million in the prosperous period of Kanggan in Qing Dynasty. Throughout the Hongwu period, the people were rich and the country was strong, and the national treasury was flooded. When it was built, farming was reclaimed, and there was no Laiwu. People are eager for their own careers and a lot of arable land, so they pay enough attention to each other.
At the same time, it also lifted the bondage system of industry and commerce to craftsmen in Yuan Dynasty, and lifted the humble position of tenant farmers in Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties and the fate that life and death were dominated by their owners. For the first time, industrial and commercial craftsmen and tenant farmers in China were legally recognized as equal human rights, and they were no longer slaves who were trampled upon by others.
2. Reorganization of Wen Jian
Wen Jian's political reform was carried out by Ming Huidi, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others. Guided by the ideal political concept of pre-Qin Confucianism, Wen Jian followed the teachings of the sages and implemented the policy of "ruling the country by virtue and lenient politics" to solve the problems of severe punishment and harsh laws, exorbitant taxes and levies, and the maintenance of soldiers by princes and kings after Zhu Yuanzhang.
During his four years in power, Ming Huidi introduced many policies that were beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood. Wen Jian's tragedy comes not only from the failure of conquering vassals, but also from his weak personality and lack of political experience.
3. Yongle Shi Sheng
Yongle was a prosperous time during the reign of Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it was one of the great prosperous times in the third day of the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Chengzu is a clever man. After he ascended the throne, he vigorously developed the economy, advocated culture and education, and took many measures to vigorously develop the economy and make the country prosperous and vast. The year of the Ming emperor was named "Yongle Year", and later historians called this period "Yongle Shi Sheng Year". Even praised the "far-reaching Han and Tang dynasties" in this period.
Politically, Cheng Zu perfected the civil service system. Ming Taizu abolished the prime minister system, and the emperor directly led six departments, regardless of the details. During the reign of the Ming Dynasty, the embryonic form of cabinet system was gradually formed in the imperial court. When the emperor is busy with state affairs, the cabinet handles state affairs for him according to the emperor's instructions. This system influenced the Ming and Qing Dynasties and even the West.
Ming Chengzu officially moved to Beijing in 142 1. Set up a local jurisdiction structure, such as setting up provinces or administrative departments in the northeast, northwest and southwest. Establish Hami Wei and Guizhou organizational system.
