The Government, Religion and Lifestyle in the Ming Dynasty
I'm going to talk about the Ming Dynasty. I will take a closer look at the Government, the Religion and Lifestyle.

Peopled fled to live under his ruling, because he had a structured government. The Population in the Ming Dynasty increased by ten in the next ten years of his reign. Around 1360 he became the leader of a much smaller function called the “Ming” after the Yuan Government had been weakened and his rebellion split up. He attracted high People with his ruling methods. One of them was Zhu Sheng(朱升), which gave him the advice [Quote[2]:"Build high walls, stock up rations, and don't be too quick to call yourself a king." Quote End].
