During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, who assisted the emperor to carry out the Wanli New Deal and the whip method?

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang assisted the emperor in carrying out the Wanli New Deal and practicing whipping.

In the sixth year of Wanli (1578), Zhang ordered the national land to be cleaned up, and the overflow and leakage were checked for a period of three years. As a result, the state-owned land area reached 713,976 hectares, an increase of 3 million hectares compared with the land area taxed during Hongzhi period. On this basis, in the ninth year of Wanli (158 1), flogging was adopted as the national system.

Not long after the flogging method was introduced to China, it lost its most powerful supporter after Zhang died of illness in Wanli (1582). Moreover, after that, official corruption became more serious and there were many disadvantages. The most serious thing is the increase of "three salaries" in the late Ming Dynasty. In addition to the "three salaries", duck salary, cow salary and weed salary also appear publicly. At this point, a whip method was destroyed.

After a whipping, the editing unit of the service silver was expanded from Li Jia to all counties, which played a certain role in regulating the phenomenon that Bailey's family burden was extremely light and heavy, temporarily alleviating the class contradiction caused by the service silver problem, and was conducive to the development of agricultural production.

The implementation of a whip law has weakened the personal slavery relationship formed by the corvee system for a long time, and farmers have gained more freedom. In addition, compared with the labor system in the early Ming Dynasty, one whip and one method can better adapt to the development of social economy and promote the development of commodity production. The monetization of taxes and labor services has enabled more rural products to enter the market, further disintegrating the natural economy and creating conditions for the further development of industry and commerce.
