The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 486: The Hongwu Era!

Officials riding fast horses with small flags on their backs galloped out of the Yingtian city gate.

Vertically square.

In the blink of an eye.

On the brick walls on both sides of the government office gates, a royal edict with black characters on a white background was posted.

The people gathered together.

A document explaining the imperial edict came out from the yamen gate.

“…people have land to cultivate and live and work in peace and contentment.”

"Men till the fields and women silkworms, no one is idle."

"Destroy the rich and suppress the strong, so that everyone can live in peace."

“The rich and the poor support each other and help each other.”

"Light collection and light taxes bring prosperity to the people."

"Harvest the crops while they are growing and pay taxes..."

……

[From the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang took over a world that was in tatters. ]

[He fought wars while developing the country. He not only unified the country, chased the enemy and swept the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but also created a civil governance achievement that would be remembered in history.]

[In the 1393th year of Hongwu (), the total amount of cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty reached million hectares]

[It is more than 3 million hectares more than the highest data in the Song Dynasty and four times the highest data in the Yuan Dynasty.]

[The tax revenue that year was as high as 32 million shi, three times the highest figure in the Yuan Dynasty.]

[According to later estimates, the national population was close to 67 million, breaking the previous record of the highest population in Chinese history.]

[In terms of national fiscal reserves, according to the records in the Ming History: Food and Goods, the treasuries of all prefectures and counties were full of grain, some even to the point where the grain was “rotten and inedible”. The country was extremely wealthy.]

【How is the life of the people? 】

【There is folk songs at that time to support this.】

[“The mountain market is clear, mountain birds are singing, merchants are traveling, farmers are ploughing, old clay pots are full of wine, and no one can hear the clamor.”]

[The Ming Dynasty at the time of its founding was characterized by economic poverty, declining livelihood, internal and external troubles, and constant wars]

【After 30 years of governance, it has become a country with a strong people, a prosperous economy and a vibrant economy】

【This is what Zhu Yuanzhang created. 】

【The prosperous Hongwu era! 】

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng's eyes suddenly lit up!

"It wasn't easy, but finally something useful came out!"

It took thirty years to achieve such a great governance that was no less than the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing.

"The country is right, and the reputation is well-deserved!"

Liu Qi nodded, then suddenly said with a brain cramp:
"Li Longji is indeed worthy of his reputation."

A cold wind blew in the Weiyang Palace.

Dou Yifang looked at Liu Qi's pale face and shook her head secretly.

You deserve it, Chunchun deserves it.

"Copy the Mencius ten times and hand it over to me before dusk."

"I can't finish copying... You don't want to know the consequences."

Liu Fa swore an oath!

Be sure to think twice before you speak!

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji was a little surprised.

But it is not surprising that the people are ruled.

People's rule? As long as you think about it, it is not something that can be controlled.

What surprised him was...

"Although the Tang Dynasty also experienced wars when it was founded, the perverse Sui Dynasty still left behind money and grain reserves."

"These reserves became the foundation for the founding of the Tang Dynasty and its rule over the world."

Li Longji rolled up his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and said loudly:

"In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was crowned with the yellow robe and gained a country that was beginning to prosper after the painstaking efforts of two generations of emperors of the Later Zhou Dynasty."

"What's more, among the Five Dynasties, there were also countries like Southern Tang and Hou Shu, which had strong foundations."

"All of these laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"The Yuan Dynasty unified the country. First, Kublai Khan worked hard to build the country in the north, and then he took over the wealth of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"The foundation is even stronger."

"If we really talk about the lack of capital for founding a nation, the only countries that could be worse off than the Ming Dynasty at this time are probably the Han Dynasty."

"Whether in terms of population or land, the situation at the beginning of the Han Dynasty was not much better than that of the Ming Dynasty."

"So whether it was Emperor Gaozu of Han or Emperor Shizu of Han, the first thing they did after founding the country was to rest and recuperate."

"Even if the Xiongnu on the border are making a fuss, we have to grit our teeth and bear it."

"But in this respect, the Ming Dynasty was more difficult than the Han Dynasty."

"The Han Dynasty could still hold its breath, ask for a marriage, and fight for a peaceful environment, but the Ming Dynasty couldn't even fight for this."

"Under these circumstances, such a prosperous era could have been created!"

"He is a god." Yang Yuhuan was stunned for a moment as she looked at the "young" Li Longji who was standing tall and commenting on the past and present.

"Sanlang..."

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha! So we're going to be so powerful in the future!"

"Sister, what do you think we should do?"

"Will this guy have to live in our shadow forever?"

"Hahahaha!"

"I have such an awesome dad!"

"I'm really sorry to Biao'er!"

Old Zhu was so happy, isn’t this easy for the people?!
It seems that the policy of relocating people is correct?
Future me! Show me how we do it!
Let’s copy it!
It is already the sixth year of Hongwu.

Time is running out!
Empress Ma was speechless when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang trying to please her.

Too rampant...

Be careful not to be too happy and end up in sorrow.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Maybe it's because he's old, or maybe he's about to be exposed.

Zhu Di has been particularly sad recently.

The manifestation of this is that one loves to reminisce about the past.

"It's not easy for my father."

"The Yuan Dynasty ruled for 97 years, and its policies were basically such as issuing paper money indiscriminately."

"There was much plundering and little construction, and disasters occurred year after year."

"In just 25 years, there were 19 major locust plagues, 15 major famines, and 59 floods and droughts."

"The Battle of Gaoyou, the Battle of Hongdu, the Battle of Pingjiang..."

"The 17-year war was unprecedented in terms of the intensity of the fighting, the brutality of the process, and the scope of the impact."

"The prosperous city was reduced to ashes in the flames of war."

"The Northern Expedition reached Liaodong, and in the southern Fujian and other places there were frequent civil unrest."

"Almost everything from north to south was destroyed."

"It's difficult."

……

Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period
"A country with a weak economy, a country always ready for war."

Kangxi understood the difficulties of governing the world.

They also understood that they had to achieve the recovery and stabilization of the national economy while supporting a long-term war.

This alone is extremely difficult.

It is even more difficult to create a prosperous era and establish great achievements.

"Hongwu, a lord of great bravery and courage, is incomparable to any ordinary emperor."

Yinreng's eyes flashed.

"Of course, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Taizu of Ming, and Khan Ama were all extraordinary people."

Kangxi's mouth curled up slightly.

She tapped him with the fan and said nothing.

……

{It took 30 years to create a prosperous society...}
{…Take it easy, but I really didn’t know about this. It seems that Lao Zhu is really a hunk sent from heaven!}

{It's outrageous enough that he conquered the world with just one bowl, but he ruled the world so well?}

{That's not right. Where did the 400-plus rebellions come from in that year? And "Why didn't they report it to the authorities?"}
{You will understand this when you read on.}
{Economic development has its own laws. As long as society is stable, taxes are light, and there is no chaos}

{The inherent stability of the small peasant economy can steadily return to normal levels and develop from the economic decline caused by the war.}
{Division and unification, chaos and order, form a cycle of ups and downs}

{It’s just that the moving average value of this period is not horizontal, but tilted to the upper right.}
{This statement...does not mention subjective initiative at all.}
……

Song Dynasty: Zhezong Period
Zhao Xu frowned and tapped the stone table.

Is reforming the law a waste of time?
“There’s still a long way to go.”

Zhao Ji and others were the result, and the Song Dynasty system was the cause.

Even without Zhao Ji, the system will create a second Zhao Ji.

Zhao Xu pinched his eyebrows.

He now understands how difficult it is for his father.

"I don't know how Emperor Hongwu did it."

How does he maintain the rule of law?

During the more than ninety years of the Yuan Dynasty, those officials could be said to be just Song Dynasty officials in disguise.

They may even be worse than officials of the Song Dynasty.

How could he bring about a prosperous era with such a bureaucracy?
Zhao Xu discovered the blind spot.

Perhaps if we can just learn how to clean up the bureaucracy, the reform can be thorough!
The Song Dynasty is completely saved!
