1368 Zhu Yuanzhang established Ming Dynasty in Nanjing. By 1644 Zhu Youjian hanged himself at the end of Coal Mountain. He lived for 276 years. There were 18 emperors (2 of whom were descendants of emperors posthumously named emperors, one was the crown prince Zhu Biao ( Xiaokang Emperor ), and the other was the Xingxian King Zhu Youzhi ( Ming Ruizong )), and there were 115 princes.

When the prince and the prince had no legitimate son at the age of fifty years old, they were appointed as the prince.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the average yield of rice per mu is 426 kilograms. If the husk is dried and removed, you can get about 300 kilograms of rice (calculated at 70%). A prince needs at least 5,000 acres of paddy fields to support him. Fortunately, the imperial court gave the royal family not all rice, but only some rice and other colors (using silver and treasure banknotes and ).
