There are certain reasons why the Qing Dynasty can solve the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty, and it is really not so simple
Every period of history of the renewal and restart, accompanied by the fall of the old dynasty and the rise of the new dynasty, every two dynasties alternate, whether it is a political or economic system, according to the different ideas of the rulers, and there will be a very big difference, such as the economic system of the Ming Dynasty and the economic system of the Qing Dynasty, there is a big difference, so why can the Qing Dynasty solve the financial crisis throughout the Ming Dynasty? There must be a reason for that.
First of all, we all know that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was a man of humble origins, who grew up in a very poor family, and was from a rebel army, so when he experienced countless hardships and finally held this Jiangshan in his hands, there would naturally be some gains and losses, and some selfishness.
At that time, the system of the Ming Dynasty was very problematic, because Zhu Yuanzhang himself was a careful person, although at the beginning of the founding of the country, he made a big reward for meritorious heroes, but after a long time, he began to have doubts, lest these heroes be proud of their merits and covet the Jiangshan of their old Zhu family, so they found all kinds of excuses to kill Yu shi dafu, yu shi zhongcheng and others, which was reassuring.
But after this series of important ministers were killed, what should be done with this vacant position? Easy to do, of course, are all given to their own hands, which will lead to a lack of supervision of power, and the various departments cannot form a more effective check and balance relationship, and one or two are the so-called clan kings, what does this clan king mean, that is, the hereditary prince, maybe the first generation and the second generation are still trying to govern, and the people behind them are already relying on this reputation to eat and wait for death, such a dynasty, not corrupt, what are you waiting for?
In the Qing Dynasty, the eight flags management system was implemented, that is, the "Manchu-Han dual-track system" that we now summarize, by the Manchus and Han people to supervise each other, supervise each other, although it is mainly the Han people to work, and then the Manchus to become a "supervisor" status, but this is also very normal, who let the members of the royal family are the descendants of the Manchus, such a policy can not only improve work efficiency, reduce the rate of corruption, but also to a large extent to maintain the power of the Manchus.
The Manchu rulers have great strength in supervision, attach importance to grass-roots taxes, and understand the operation rules of the court, and the people who are killed are all people who should be killed, and can play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, and unlike the selfish Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to consolidate his family's Jiangshan, he killed all the people who should not be killed, which can also be regarded as indirectly encroaching on his own family's Jiangshan.
In fact, the biggest difference between the economic system of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty lies in the policy of this clan king, when there are these clan kings, it is equivalent to the imperial court raising a bunch of stubborn children who do not make money and spend money every day, and in the Qing Dynasty, the tax is relatively fair, everyone has to pay, and the so-called clan kings have been eliminated, such a situation directly reduces a very considerable amount of expenditure.
All in all, why the Ming Dynasty was poor was because the tax base was not solid, and the distribution of wealth was unbalanced, the richest people did not pay taxes, but exploited from the poor, they had no money, and then squeezed, it was futile, and the collection of taxes on rich people was the smartest place in the Qing Dynasty, and why in the Qing Dynasty, the financial level developed at once.
