Why did Zhu Yuanzhang poison Yang Xiao?

The first is that Yang Xiao colluded with a clique to rebel. Later, he was impenetrable by the eunuch in the palace, and then Zhu Yuanzhang killed Yang Xiao in a rage. The second reason is the core reason. Yang Xiao is actually a man with both ability and political integrity, and he has a good reputation. Zhu Yuanzhang's side is actually not bad, but Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that Yang Xiao would get in his way in the end, so he finally chose to strike first and do Yang Xiao first, which was actually a disaster caused by kindness. Zhu Yuanzhang's economic achievements:

1, sharing interest with the people

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the policy of developing production and sharing interest with the people. 1368, foreign state and county officials went to Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang said to them: "At the beginning of the world, people are poor and poor, just like birds that just can fly, don't pluck their hair; Like a newly planted tree, the roots cannot be shaken, and the important thing is to recuperate. "

Zhu Yuanzhang also encouraged the reclamation of wasteland, and in 1370, he ordered that all wasteland in northern counties and counties should be exempted from tax for three years. He also took compulsory measures to transfer farmers from densely populated areas to sparsely populated areas.

For those who reclaim wasteland, the government provides cattle, farm tools and seeds; It also stipulates that tax exemption will be granted for three years, and cultivated land will be owned by the land reclamation workers; It also stipulates that farmers with five to ten acres of land must plant mulberry, cotton and hemp, and those with more than ten acres must double their planting. These measures have greatly stimulated farmers' enthusiasm for reclamation.

In addition to civilian villages, there were military villages and commercial villages in the early Ming Dynasty. The military camp is managed by the guard, and the government provides cattle and farm tools. The garrison ratio of Ming sergeant is as follows: border troops defend the city for three points, and wasteland for seven points; The mainland army is divided into two parts to defend the city and eight parts to open fields. Military food is basically self-sufficient. Shangtun means that merchants hire people to cultivate land at the border and pay food on the spot, which saves the cost of trafficking and makes greater profits. The implementation of Shangtun not only solved the problem of rations, but also developed the frontier.

2. Build water conservancy projects

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to water conservancy and disaster relief. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he ordered local officials to report any suggestions on water conservancy put forward by the people in time, or they would be punished. By 1395, about 40987 ponds were opened and about 4 162 rivers were dredged.

3. Immigration policy

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, due to years of wars, epidemics and repeated flooding of rivers, the population of the Central Plains dropped sharply, while Shanxi was densely populated and there was no war. The combined population of Henan, Hebei and Shandong provinces is less than half that of Shanxi. Thousands of miles away from the land of the Central Plains, outstanding people are outstanding. To this end, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to rectify the riverbank, restore the saltworks and develop production from the large-scale immigrants in Shanxi, which was called "Hongwu Great Immigrant" in history.
