China's Ming Dynasty was a famous dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty had a big problem: financial problems.

So, why was the Ming Dynasty so strong, but its economy was criticized?Much depends on the country's policies.

First of all, due to the improper governance strategy of the Ming Dynasty, the redundancy of the first staff caused a lot of financial losses.

Judging from historical data, the official system of the Ming Dynasty was quite complicated, especially the confusion and redundancy of personnel. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the silver taels spent a year accounted for 40% of the country's financial expenditure, and personnel expenses were an important content.

From the subtleties, it can be seen that the internal affairs system of the Ming Dynasty was not sound enough, resulting in too many useless people in various organs, and these people also had to receive money.

In this way, the expenditure of ** is higher, but the benefits do not increase, but there will be a larger deficit.

Secondly, the unreasonable land rights system implemented in the Ming Dynasty caused a sharp decline in local taxes, but the deficit of local ** has not been filled.

According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the policy of "collecting land" was implemented in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, "collecting rent", "collecting land and returning it to the field", and "leading the field into the field", so that the "field" developed in the direction of "field" and "field".

We all know that in China, farming is an important foundation, and the country's finances are farmers' income.

For this requisition, the original intention of ** is also to stimulate the people and increase taxes on farmland.

Unexpectedly, with the implementation of this system, it gradually developed into a knot, which eventually led to a continuous decrease in tax revenue, a growing financial gap, and a growing poverty in the country.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the fundamental reason why the Ming Dynasty was strong and not rich was the wrong strategy. The first is the internal affairs, the institutions are huge, the bureaucracy is huge, and a lot of money is wasted. Externally, it was because of political problems that it was possible to cooperate with large landlords, which led to a reduction in tax revenues and fiscal austerity. If this continues, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty will become very poor.

This truth also enlightens us that when a company or a leader formulates a regulation or a system, it must take into account the practical problems, so that it will not fall into passivity like the Ming Dynasty. The lessons of history are what every businessman should remember.
