Which dynasty in the Ming Dynasty had the most developed economy?

The most developed period of the economy should be the Wanli period.

The Yongle period is called the Yongle prosperous age because during the Yongle period, under the rule of Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty had strong military power and was the only dynasty that did not engage in foreign marriage. But at the same time, this During the year, Zhu Di also attached great importance to foreign exchanges (Zheng He's voyages to the West). Foreign exchanges not only allowed external countries to see the strength of the country, but also further improved economic exchanges and culture. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty kicked off its national strength and rapid economic development during this year. Therefore, Yongle year should be the beginning of economic prosperity.

In the early days after Zhang Juzheng's death, Emperor Wanli was still able to maintain his interest in government affairs, but soon began to neglect government affairs. After the 14th year of Wanli, Shenzong began to fail to go to court. After the New Year's Day in the 17th year of Wanli, Shenzong excused himself from the New Year's Day greetings on the grounds of a solar eclipse. From then on, Shenzong no longer paid attention to the New Year's Day. Because Shenzong ignored government affairs, the shortage of officials was very serious. Yuan Keli, the imperial envoy, took advantage of the thunderstorm at Jingde Gate to criticize the government. The furious Emperor Shenzong dismissed him from office and served the people. Shenzong was exhausted at the top, hundreds of officials and factions were fighting at the bottom, and the government was completely idle. There are numerous parties in the bureaucracy that compete with each other, such as the Donglin Party, the Xuan Party, the Kun Party, the Qi Party, the Zhejiang Party, etc., but the topic they discuss is not how to improve government affairs, but only the personnel layout. As a result, the Ming Dynasty completed the evolution of the Song Dynasty's handicraft industry from government-run to privately owned in a relatively short period of time, and the changes were more thorough. By the late Ming Dynasty, except for a few industries such as the salt industry, which still practiced salt production with merchants as the main body, most handicrafts had escaped the control of the government and became private handicrafts. Therefore, if the privatization of China's agriculture appeared in the Warring States and Han Dynasties, then the complete privatization of China's handicraft industry was as late as the Ming Dynasty. Private mining of gold and silver mines is prohibited, but this is only a legal requirement. There is a long history of mine theft, and it occurred in all provinces, mostly in silver mines. Some of them dig secretly in the mountains, some use their power to occupy government mines, and some even build armed forces to openly confront the government. At that time, the government-owned mining and metallurgy industry turned from prosperity to decline. Zunhua Iron Works, the largest government-owned mining and metallurgy in the Wanli period, was on the verge of bankruptcy. For iron support. On the contrary, the private iron industry has developed rapidly, Wuhu has gradually become a private smelting center, and professional iron-making steel mills have continued to expand.

There were many large private steel workshops in the Ming Dynasty.

Only one mineral industry has undergone such a big change (due to the chaos of the government, business has developed rapidly, and government businesses such as mining have also begun to be privatized and used to make huge profits), and the same is true for many industries. Due to the chaos in the government and the opening up of business, there was an abundance of funds at that time. Wanli became undoubtedly the most economically developed period.

Owner, I have been writing this for a long time, and I have also written down the differences, which should satisfy you~~~~~~~

It means economy. , you ask, the difference between Wanli and Yongle is that Yongle has a strong military and Wanli has more money. The reason is that the Yongle emperor was diligent, strict in management, and managed the country well. The emperor of Wanli was lazy and had few ministers, so the system was lax, which led to the rapid development of the private sector and the initial entry into the bourgeoisie. So, there was more money and the economy prospered~~~~~~~ (At that time, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and then Minerals, salt, etc. were all under the jurisdiction of the government, and the system was very strict. However, due to the sharp decline in the number of lazy officials under the Wanli emperor, once the system was relaxed, many government-owned industries could not continue. Private industries began to become stronger, and people made huge profits privately and became rich. That’s it. The economy was booming at that time~~~~~~~)

Okay, it’s simple and clear, dear poster, you should understand now
