Ask authority to tell me what kind of dynasty the Ming Dynasty was.

The Ming dynasty showed progress in five aspects: (1) productivity improvement: comprehensive agricultural production and wide popularization of new varieties; In handicraft industry, cotton textile industry, porcelain industry and printing industry have made new progress, and coal mining and steelmaking have also further developed; (2) unprecedented prosperity of commodity economy; (3) The seeds of capitalism began to appear; (4) the emergence of new ideological trends that are compatible with the emergence of capitalism and commodity economy, such as advocating freedom and democracy and opposing husband rights; (5) Summarized the traditional academic and scientific knowledge, including the largest work Yongle Dadian, the medical masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica, the agricultural encyclopedia and the handicraft industry Tiangong Kaiwu, all of which summarized and improved the previous generation's achievements. In a word, the Ming Dynasty "ruled the Tang and Song Dynasties" and "took the Han and Tang Dynasties far away".

However, it has a lot of darkness.

The most luxurious palace

Needless to say.

The most eunuchs

Eunuch system is a major feature in the history of China. The number of eunuchs in China in the past dynasties was the largest in the Ming Dynasty, generally known as L0000. Many people have studied the number of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. I refer to Yi Ding, version 1983, People's Publishing House, page 19. )

The largest imperial clan

Xu Guangqi, after studying the imperial clan population of the Ming Dynasty, said: "There were 58 men and women under the county king in Hongwuzhong (about AD 1382) and 127 in Yongle (about AD 14 12), which doubled in thirty years. At the beginning of Qin Long (about AD 1567), there were 45,000 themes but 28,000 survivors. Wanli Wu Jia (AD 1594) belongs to103,000 people, but it has seen 62,000 people, that is, more than 30 years. In A.D. 1604, Chen Jia (A.D. 1604) belonged to 130,000 people, but not less than 80,000 people, which increased by one-third in ten years, that is, doubled in more than 30 years. " (Note: Xu Guangqi Collection? Dispose of zonglu and check the border. However, according to the Records of Ming Dynasty, by the 23rd year of Wanli (Record of Ming Shenzong, Volume 242), the number of people had increased to157,000.

The largest imperial clan, Shilu.

The diet of the imperial clan population. Due to the rapid growth of the imperial clan population, it caused great difficulties to the social economy of the Ming Dynasty. In the twenty-third year of Jiajing, the total income of land tax in China was 22,850,595 stone, of which only one third came from imperial clan (Record of Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty, Volume 392), and the income deficit in one province was even worse. In Shanxi Province, rice and wheat were reserved for 0/0.52 million stone, and in Henan Province, rice and wheat were reserved for 840,000 stone.

The largest army

There were a large number of military households in the Ming Dynasty, and the number of soldiers alone could exceed 2 million.

The highest military expenditure

At the end of 14, there were only about 2,700 troops stationed in Shi Jing, and it increased to 3,000 in the middle of 15. Besides Mi Lu, there were still 482,000 yuan in reimbursement every year. This kind of expenditure is increasing. By the end of 16, the regular army had reached10.2 million, and only the basic expenditure-if all the supplies were made-would require 20 million taels of silver. Some of them are used to recruit soldiers to make up for the shortage of hereditary non-commissioned officers. The annual salary of each recruiter is 18 Liang, and if it is in the border area, it will be increased by 5 Liang, and their families can also receive allowances. 1492, the Ming dynasty promulgated an open system to encourage businessmen to transport grain to the frontier in exchange for bringing salt back to the mainland to operate with salt. However, this system was gradually abolished after 1500 years, which led to a rapid increase in rice prices in border areas, and each load (60 kg) was worth 500 taels of silver. (1) Of course, the military salaries needed in border areas will also increase: 52,000 yuan for 1500, 2.8 million yuan for 1573 and 3.6 million yuan for 1586.
