After the fall of the Tang and Song dynasties, the Jiangnan region represented by Suzhou became the national tax center. In the Ming generation, Suzhou's economic status in the country has become more prominent. The taxes paid by them account for almost one-tenth of the country's tax and grain, ranking first among all the provinces directly under the country's government and administrative departments. As the national financial center, Suzhou Prefecture not only paid more taxes than other regions, but also became the starting place of tax reform in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this book takes silver monetization and tax silverization as the research perspective, and selects the topic of Suzhou taxation in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the introduction and epilogue, the text is divided into six chapters. On the basis of fully absorbing the research results of predecessors, it is proposed to sort out official and private documents, local chronicles, inscription materials, etc., in order to restore the actual situation of tax collection in Suzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, and reveal its evolution and development trend. The first chapter, "The Formation of the Southeast Wealth Center", uses a large number of historical documents and research results to describe the economic development of Suzhou before the Ming Dynasty, as well as the collection and evolution of taxes in successive dynasties. To expand a little, before the Tang Dynasty, the Guanzhong and Central Plains regions were the center of China's economy, and Suzhou's economy was not prosperous; After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Suzhou's economic status rose and gradually became an important national tax supplier. During the Two Song Dynasty, the southward shift of China's economic center of gravity was completed, and Suzhou became the center of national finance. The second chapter, "The Tax System of Suzhou Prefecture in the Early Ming Dynasty", consists of three sections, which discusses the compilation of the yellow book and fish scale atlas of Suzhou Prefecture in the early Ming Dynasty, the composition of tax items, and the appearance of color folding or folding levy in the process of collection. It shows that the ruling group in the early Ming Dynasty established a small-scale peasant economic system by rectifying household registration and cadastre, strengthening the construction of Lijia organizations, and its tax collection was also carried out around Lijia organizations, mainly collecting physical goods, and taking turns to enlist, with distinct natural economic characteristics. The third chapter, "Xuande-Zhengde Suzhou Prefecture's Tax Collection", focuses on two topics. First, the series of tax reforms carried out by Zhou Chen and Guo Zhong, the financial ministers in Suzhou Prefecture, sorted out the origin and evolution of "grain patches", silver substitution, heavy endowment, grain, and horse grass folding silver, and believed that the above measures had the tendency to integrate military service and collect silver. Second, it was carefully analyzed by Suzhou Prefecture's conscription and arrangement, and believed that the conscription and conscription in the Chenghua period, and the levy of conscription according to Ding Tian to convert silver, should be the beginning of "apportioning ding into mu". Chapter 4 "Tax Discount Silver in Suzhou Prefecture during the Jialong Period". In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, adapting to the development of the commodity money economy, silver gradually changed from illegal currency to become the main currency of the country. In this context, Ouyang Duo, Wang Yi, Hai Rui and others carried out reforms in Suzhou with the nature of a whip. Ouyang Duo and Wang Yi made two important contributions: First, they used the silver folding rate as a means to historically unify the official and civilian Tian Kezhi. The second is to absorb the principle of conscription and other compilation principles, and popularize in Suzhou the method of collecting and losing money by conscription and counting mu. Hairui implemented a whipping method in Suzhou, turning all the force difference into a silver difference, both of which have a clear tendency to divide into acres. Chapter 5 "Silver Folding and Tax Structure of Suzhou Prefecture in the Wanli Period". This chapter focuses on the Suzhou tax data in the Wanli Accounting Record, calculates the division of fiscal origin and retention, the degree of silver monetization, the tax structure, and the total tax payment of Suzhou Prefecture in the sixth year of Wanli (1578), and compares and analyzes some of these indicators with Yangzhou, Zhejiang, Shanxi, Henan and other places. On this basis, this paper focuses on the analysis of the tax structure of Suzhou Prefecture in the Wanli period, further explores the tax burden and living conditions of Suzhou households, and puts forward a new explanation for Suzhou's re-endowment. Chapter 6 "The Promotion of a Whip Law in Suzhou Prefecture in the Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties and the Development of Apportioning Ding into Mu". The first is the overall promotion of the whipping method from Wanli to Suzhou Prefecture, and analyzes it in combination with individual cases; the second is to review the gains and losses and reasons why a whipping law in the Ming Dynasty was not fully realized; Third, it examines and analyzes the inheritance and improvement of the tax system of the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty; Fourth, it focuses on the implementation and completion of Suzhou Prefecture's apportionment of ding ding into mu during the Shun Kangyong period. Finally, the concluding part, the main conclusions are as follows: First, the nearly two-century tax reform of Suzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty is only a microcosm of the national tax reform, but it shows the trajectory of the evolution of China's tax system. From mainly in kind and forced labor, to tax collection in silver, this is the process of transforming the physical financial system to the monetary financial system. Second, the context of the evolution of taxation in Suzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty shows that the development of the commodity economy and the circulation of silver currency are the driving force and prerequisite for the continuous deepening of the tax reform in the Ming Dynasty. Third, the issue of Suzhou's re-endowment in the Ming Dynasty should also be further explained from the perspective of tax structure and economic development. "The poor can bow down and have capital" is due to the development of the commodity and monetary economy guided by market demand. Fourth, the tortuous course of the evolution of taxation in Suzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty shows the complexity of reform, which is exacerbated by the lack of top-level design and institutional construction. Fifth, the reform of the Ming Dynasty's one-whip law failed to truly realize the integration of endowment and apportionment, but it laid the foundation for the thorough realization of the above system nationwide during the Qing Dynasty.
