Descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang in Jimo

Jimo has no descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang adopted an immigration policy.

From the 9th century to the middle of16th century, for more than 400 years, due to years of war and famine, the population in northern China decreased sharply, and a large area of land was barren. Jimo County at that time (including four districts in Qingdao today and two districts in Laoshan and Chengyang) was no exception. After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, in order to restore and develop agricultural production, he adopted a large-scale immigration policy. The principle was to immigrate from a narrow township with a small land and a large population to a wide township with a vast land and a sparsely populated population. At the same time, he adopted the policy of land reclamation by military households to supply military supplies. In this immigration tide, Jimo welcomed a large number of immigrants. By the 24th year of Hongwu (139 1), Jimo residents had reached 126800, showing a prosperous scene.
