However, it seems that great men from grass roots will be suspicious in the middle and late stages and afraid of losing power, so they will make mistakes. Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, his rights were highly recovered, and everything was done by himself. He formulated an overly "perfect" and harsh system, hoping that future generations could "fool" the country according to this system, but he didn't know that the times were changing, and the system might be applicable for a while but not for a lifetime.
Zhu Yuanzhang hated corruption, and Guo Huan killed over 30,000 people. Zhu Yuanzhang hated deceiving his superiors and deceiving his subordinates. The empty seal case killed hundreds of officials in the country, involving more than 10,000 people. Zhu Yuanzhang hated gang rebellion and killed more than 30 thousand people. In order to pave the way for future generations and secure their rights, Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the founding heroes, leaving only one Tanghe who could only lie on a cane chair and drool. Such killings led to the death of most court officials, and no one handled official duties, so many officials went to prison, were arrested before the death penalty, and then were killed.
The salary level of civil servants in Ming dynasty was very low, and they could only support themselves and their families, which was not enough to pay the salaries of servants and the expenses of welcoming guests. In addition, they have to watch out for the all-pervasive Royal Guard. Therefore, it really took courage to be an official in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, but it was extremely harsh on officials and good for the people. After all, Zhu Chongba was born at the bottom and could understand the sufferings of the people. I believe that Zhu Yuanzhang's starting point in doing these things is good, but the results are good and bad, and the success or failure is left to future generations to comment, learn and learn from.
