Hongwu immigrated for two years and did not pay taxes for three years.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered more than 4,000 landless peasants from Jiangsu, Songhu and Hangzhou to move to Fengyang County for farming. The government provides cattle, seeds, cars, food and other money, and the fields cultivated are always their own business, and they are not taxed for three years.

This move aims at promoting population migration in Fengyang County, alleviating land pressure and increasing agricultural output.
