After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, why did Fengyang have nine years of famine in ten years?

Fengyang has nine years of famine in ten years. In fact, this can't completely blame Zhu Yuanzhang. Fengyang County is located in the Huaihe River Basin. As we all know, the Huaihe River Basin has been difficult to control since ancient times, and floods have occurred frequently there. After the Yellow River captured the Huai River, Fengyang, even the whole Huaihe River basin, was in a state of flooding Shan Ye, and both sides of the Huaihe River, as the north-south dividing line above China's geography, were constantly at war, sparsely populated and the land was very deserted.

Fengyang, as a long-term military strategic fortress, has no peace all day, so how can it have a lot of time to cultivate land for people? Therefore, Fengyang is not a good place for agricultural work at all. Therefore, it is quite normal for a famine to occur in Fengyang. Then why would anyone blame Zhu Yuanzhang for the annual famine in Fengyang? This is because after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the imperial tomb in Fengyang, and such a huge project greatly deepened the economic and agricultural pressures in Fengyang at that time.

In order to change the barren land and sparsely populated situation in Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision to immigrate Jiangnan people to Fengyang in Hongwu for four years. And Fengyang is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang rose, so Zhu Yuanzhang also specifically exempted Fengyang from the corvee, that is, in this case, Fengyang gradually became rich, but because Zhu Yuanzhang forced people from other places in the south of the Yangtze River to move to Fengyang, this made Jiangnan people resent Zhu Yuanzhang.

when Fengyang was established, it was because of so many huge projects that the builders suffered greatly. By the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, in order to consolidate its reputation among the people, the Qing Dynasty specially recruited a group of people to say that the Ming Dynasty was not good, so those people involved Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.
