Zhu Yuanzhang's political action;

The bureaucratic system in the early Ming Dynasty was left over from the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang carried out reforms and abolished the central Chinese book province. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhongshu Province was in charge of world affairs, and the chief executive was the prime minister and held a high position. The prime minister is prone to conflict with the emperor, especially after Hu became the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. Hu's influence gradually increased, threatening the imperial power and becoming increasingly arrogant and lax in political affairs. ?

So, in the 13th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang executed Hu and related officials in the name of rebellion, and announced the abolition of Zhongshu Province and no longer set up a prime minister.

At the local level, the provincial system should be abolished, and departments such as undertaking propaganda, appointing commanders and making referees should be set up respectively to undertake the responsibility of saving books in the province. The three departments are separated and restrained to prevent local power from being too heavy. In important places in various counties, Zhu Yuanzhang also set up a patrol inspection department, which is responsible for interrogating, catching thieves and questioning traitors.
