[Excerpts from the arguments].
Hu Tieqiu and Jin Zhenzhen pointed out in the article "The Interpretation of the Compilation of Silver under the Uniform Punishment Law in the Ming Dynasty" (published in the first issue of "Historical Monthly" in 2024) that the key to the uniform punishment method is to measure the weight of each service and rank it. In the early years of Chenghua, the implementation of the system of collecting silver from the surplus households showed that the budget system for the valuation of silver for each service had been established. With the gradual construction of the two major service systems of silver and hard work since Chenghong, the first measurement of silver in each service has gradually been called "the amount of silver". In the review and compilation process, the silver and the force difference are all valued and sorted for each service, so there is no difference in the nature and expression of the two. In the service link, the silver difference is mostly levied according to the amount of silver, while the force difference is "quasi-silver is fixed but not levied", so there is an essential difference between the two. Under the influence of the dual nature of the force difference and the actual cost of service, the "difference between the amount of money and the actual cost of service" has become a new standard for the ranking of force difference. The force difference can be divided into two types: "name is light and heavy" and "name is heavy and real is light", and its forehead silver has the characteristics of "light and heavy imbalance" and "insufficient evidence".
