Dear heroes, there is a historical thing that I have never been able to figure out. Do you know anything about the Ming Dynasty? If you know something, do you think there is something strange? Ming Dynasty

I’ll just say it briefly.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang exterminated more than a thousand families in Xi County and returned to Hanzhong. This brilliant achievement was later criticized by Marquis Wu. Even his fans in the Song Dynasty felt that This move tires the people and harms people. The most critical reason is that immigration in ancient times was not as easy as in modern times.

In modern times, you can pack your luggage and go through various procedures and take a plane. But in ancient times, there were no such convenient means of transportation as airplanes and trains. The distance traveled was limited and the burden could not be overburdened. A matter as important as immigration was no less than a sentence to the ancients who had low production capacity.

The Ming Dynasty itself had strict control over population movement. A person had to go through various procedures to move to another place. Those who wandered around on a large scale were refugees who had fled. The reason is that China has been a large agricultural country since ancient times. The ancients attached great importance to land that modern people cannot imagine. Many farmers have never left their land within a hundred miles of their own land in their entire lives. Part of the reason for this is the above-mentioned transportation inconvenience. , and part of the reason is that land was the first resource for production in ancient times. Why didn't Zhu Di move the people to Beijing? Why did the people have to give up their ready-made land and run outside the Great Wall when they were still well fed? Why did the Mongolian Yuan invade the Ming Dynasty's borders repeatedly? The most important thing was that they did not engage in production and could only herd cattle. Important supplies could only be traded with the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they would be robbed. This shows that life outside the Great Wall was not easy. Taizu of the Ming Dynasty originally stipulated that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were ranked first. The most important reason for ranking agriculture was that the country needed food to feed the people. The Yongle period was not far away from Hongwu. The people of the Ming Dynasty needed to recuperate and recuperate, rather than expand to foreign lands.
