Zongwu: Daming wrote a diary, Lao Zhu took concubines for me

At this moment, the wind blowing in outside the window seemed a little sluggish.

In the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and closed his eyes.

The frequency of his fingers tapping on the agarwood desk never stopped.

Once, he struggled with hunger, cold, and hardship.

Once, Mingjiao was all over the world, and he was just a small leader.

Which time is the predicament you encounter stronger than these?

It's just a little bit of wind and frost.

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down his emotions.

As his eyes slowly opened, his eyes were terrifyingly cold.

After all, he is a generation of supreme overlords, and his heart is not comparable to ordinary people!

For him-

Today, the crown prince Zhu Biao is still alive, and the crown prince Zhu Xiongying is still alive.

Everything, it's still too late.

As long as it hasn't happened, he has the confidence to turn things around.

Because he is Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor of Hongwu!

Soon, the ink album was updated with new content.

[Factors that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[Second].

[Land annexation and corruption in the administration of officials. 】

[The degeneration of a society begins with the depravity of officials. 】

[And the fall of a country begins with an unjust official style. 】

[At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu's diligence and love for the people and the courage of the scholars and doctors were famous].

[Emperor Hongwu was born as a peasant, and he knew the hardships of the people and the difficulties of the people, so the salary for the officials of the Ming Dynasty was very low. 】

[As compensation, it is stipulated that the gentry do not pay grain, and there is a preferential tax exemption.] 】

[At the same time, the punishment for corruption and bribery is very severe. 】

[For example, the case of Guo Heng during the period of Emperor Hongwu is a typical example. 】

[In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, if a Qing official resigned and went home, the neighbors were proud. 】

[But in the Jiajing period, if the officials recalled that they did not bring back the money, they would inevitably be ridiculed by the neighbors. 】

[As a result, "Qing Guan" has almost become synonymous with "Silly Official". 】

[A society that has lost its faith can only believe in money. This is where the collapse of corruption begins. 】

[The phenomenon of land annexation in the late Ming Dynasty was very serious, and the elite class relied on their power to seize land from the hands of the peasants at the bottom. 】

[This has a terrible consequence. 】

[First of all, the elite can be exempted from paying taxes to the state through various privileges, while the peasants have no taxes to pay after losing their land, so the state fiscal revenue is greatly reduced. 】

[In order to make up for the financial loopholes, the imperial court had no choice but to increase the task of collecting taxes below through strong means. 】

[However, the elite still has the means to evade taxes through various means. 】

[As a result, all the tax collection tasks of the imperial court were assigned to the ordinary people who had no power and no power. 】

[Ordinary people, who were already overwhelmed, have become more difficult in life. 】

[If the people can't eat enough, they will naturally rise up. 】

[This is also the biggest reason for the outbreak of the civil war later.] 】

Seeing this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed a little dazed.

He didn't expect his tax exemption policy to cause so many variables later!

You must know that his original intention is to be honest and love the people!

Coco never expected that

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

If these officials are not given certain benefits, they will be pushed to the other extreme.

In the end, it is the people who suffer!

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time and sighed.

Maybe he's not looking far enough.

I don't know what it means to be relaxed.

...

At this time, Zhu Ming silently said sorry to the emperor's father in his heart.

But this is an answer to the question, not biased, and certainly true.

But there is one thing to say, although this was a factor in the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

But it can't be completely blamed on Zhu Yuanzhang, but on the later generations of the Ming monarchs and those corrupt ministers.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of setting the tax exemption system was to fight corruption with clean government.

But I never thought of it

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, later monarchs did not improve this tax exemption system.

After all, this is the rule set by Taizu.

Who would dare to tamper with it at will?

The law of the ancestors cannot be abolished!

In the end, this system was exploited by these corrupt officials and used as an umbrella for profit-grabbing.

Sometimes, Zhu Ming in his previous life was also in reverie

If the crown prince Zhu Biao had not died young, would he have been able to lead the Ming Dynasty to a higher level after perfectly inheriting Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas?

Although later, after the fourth emperor brother Zhu Di ascended the throne, he also created the prosperity of Yongle!

But after all, it has only experienced civil strife and a large number of deaths of heroes

At that time, the Ming Dynasty that was handed over to Zhu Di could only be regarded as a waste waiting to be revived.

If the previous monarch was Zhu Biao, it would not have been like this.

It's a pity that there is no if.

It can only be said that the time is also, and the life is also!

After rectifying his mood, Zhu Ming put pen to paper again.

[Third, it is a natural disaster. 】

[At the end of Wanli, the Central Plains entered the Xiaoice period. 】

[The cold wave made a large amount of arable land barren, and the Jin Dynasty, which later became the Manchu Qing Dynasty, also faced a huge crisis of reduced grain production. 】

[This also led to the Jin Dynasty eventually moving towards the invasion of our Ming Dynasty. 】

[In the later period of the Ming Dynasty, there were natural disasters almost every year, such as droughts, locust plagues, floods, wind disasters, hail disasters, earthquake disasters, and snow disasters. 】

[This had a very big impact on the peasants of the Ming Dynasty, because of natural disasters, the people were really hungry and couldn't survive and had to revolt again. 】

[With the expansion of natural disasters, it eventually led to the gradual expansion of the rebel army. 】

[In the end, internal and external troubles will bring war. 】

[An important reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the long-term war. 】

[For a dynasty standing in the world, the most money-burning project is war, and there is no one. 】

[Many great dynasties in history were eventually brought down by war, and a single major war is enough to empty a country's foundation. 】

[However, the unfortunate Ming Dynasty had to deal with a two-front battle, namely the Manchu Qing in the north and the peasant rebel armies in various parts of the country. 】

[How cruel is this?].

[It costs money to fight a war, and if you don't have money, you have to collect more taxes, and the increase in taxes has led to more and more peasant rebels. 】

[To suppress more and more rebels, it will cost more money. The Ming Dynasty was helpless to enter a dead loop. 】

When he wrote this, even Zhu Ming felt a little dull.

But Zhu Yuanzhang felt suffocated between the lines.
