Was the farming economy highly developed in Ming and Qing Dynasties? Why is this?

The development of agricultural civilization in China in Ming and Qing Dynasties benefited from the opening of new air routes. Europeans brought high-yield corn and sweet potatoes from the American continent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which solved the problem of eating in China. Silver from the American continent has also been continuously transported to China, alleviating the shortage of silver in China and promoting economic development. This is a feature of Ming and Qing dynasties, which was not found in previous dynasties. Zhancheng rice imported from Zhancheng in the Northern Song Dynasty was considered as an agricultural exchange, but it was not introduced on a large scale as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The above is the background description. The traditional economic model is a self-sufficient natural economy. This is just a statement. If every family can be self-sufficient, there will be no need for state and government agencies. The fact is that farmers have worked hard for a year, but they are often unable to be self-sufficient. Natural and man-made disasters will make the already fragile agricultural foundation unbearable. This is the self-sufficiency we have been boasting about. In fact, the so-called natural economy is characterized by self-sufficiency and cannot be self-sufficient. The so-called new economic model should refer to the capitalist mode of production, but there is no so-called budding capitalism in China, and the textbooks are too old. This discussion was widely discussed in 1950s and 1960s, but it was proved wrong in practice. The capitalist mode of production cannot be summarized by wage labor, but in short, many factors can constitute the modern capitalist mode of production. It is the general trend for the world to move towards capitalism (before capitalism came into being. )
