Was Kang Yong really prosperous in Qing Dynasty? How powerful and rich? Is it better than the end of Ming Dynasty?

I can tell you that the prosperity of Kanggan is superficial, not real. It is solid on the surface. The biggest reason for its strength is that the rapid expansion of population led to the development of agriculture with manpower as the main driving force at that time. Everyone knows that the feudal society in China for more than two thousand years was based on agriculture, but we should know that the formation of every rectification era in China was not only because of the development of agriculture, but also because of the high prosperity of commodity economy, which brought real prosperity to society and the country. Another factor is that the authors of Qing history are all Manchu, and they are all adherents of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. They try their best to beautify history of qing dynasty, and there is the ethnic policy of the * * * production party now, and they will not offend Manchu in the future, so they can only speak well of those ethnic minorities. This has caused the historical materials we are now exposed to to to be too one-sided.
