The Qing Dynasty was more powerful than the Ming Dynasty in many ways. On the one hand, it was due to historical evolution; on the other hand, it was due to the relative independence of the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, many of the achievements of the Qing Dynasty were much higher than those of the Ming Dynasty. Here are a few examples.

The Qing Dynasty had a large population. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the country's population exceeded 400 million; while the registered population of the Ming Dynasty was only more than 50 million. From this, it can be seen that the productivity of the Qing Dynasty was extremely high, because productivity increased.

So the population is exploding.

The increase in productivity lies in the improvement of production relations. To put it bluntly, the increase in the total supply of materials in any era is due to the relatively open political system. From this point of view, the Qing Dynasty was indeed more progressive than the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty introduced many fresh crops and promoted them domestically, which increased grain production. At the same time, it invested heavily in water conservancy to stabilize grain production. These actions promoted grain harvests and also contributed to the population explosion.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it established a firm foothold in the Central Plains. After pacifying the Three Feudatories, taking over Taiwan, resisting Russia, and conquering Junger three times, the country was basically stabilized. Public security stability is the cornerstone of development. This was the basis for Yongzheng's reform.

.

The Qing Dynasty entered the customs and adopted a marriage alliance strategy with the Mongolian tribes, which turned the two "bandits" in the north into rulers. The security threats in the Central Plains for many years were brought into contact, which directly reduced taxes in the north and related

As a result, the people of the whole country benefited, the entire country's finances were relaxed, and people's lives began to gradually improve, thus promoting a skyrocketing population.

Emperor Yongzheng began to fully implement the One Whip Law, which effectively curbed the problem of land concentration, and gradually legalized the concept of equality for everyone, which made the overall ecology of the Qing Empire more advanced than that of the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty implemented a secret system. To put it bluntly, this system requires officials to supervise each other and secretly report to the emperor. It seems to be an extremely simple thing, but it is actually very effective.

In order to prevent official corruption, the Ming Dynasty used all available methods, such as Dongchang, Xichang, Jinyiwei, etc., but the results were not ideal.

A secret system in the Qing Dynasty was more effective than Dongchang and Jinyiwei. This was due to the Qing emperor's personal conquests.

This concept is actually easy to understand. The secret book means that senior officials can write memorials to the emperor, and the emperor has to read it in person. This means that the emperor's workload has been greatly increased, and he is directly involved in various types of supervision, and is no longer pretending to be in the hands of others.

, naturally more efficient and more effective. Therefore, it is said that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were extremely diligent in their duties. This is definitely not groundless. After all, reading secret documents every day is also a very hard task, not to mention that senior officials often write a lot of nonsense when writing memorials.

, just a few useful words.

In short, after summarizing the gains and losses of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty still used the system of the Ming Dynasty, but also made a certain amount of improvements, which increased the importance of imperial power and directly positioned the emperor in specific affairs, making the government more efficient.

Improvement, while eliminating the threat from the north, greatly reducing annual taxes, which indeed promotes social development, otherwise China's population would not be able to reach 400 million people.
