Pleased to review yet another of your articles. Векочел (talk) 04:12, 5 May 2026 (UTC) @Векочел: Are you still interested in reviewing this article, or should this be reset so someone else can pick it up? Z1720 (talk) 02:28, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

I will review it, but give it a few days. Векочел (talk) 08:06, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Prose

@Min968:

  • "The government also prioritized the country's economy". Could you add a few sentences about the Chinese economy at the end of the Yuan dynasty?
  • "In addition to reclaiming abandoned land, the early years of the Ming dynasty also saw efforts to restore irrigation systems." Had these irrigation systems been damaged in previous years?
  • "Any remaining trade was restricted to specific times and locations." Do you have any further details on the times and locations that trade was permitted?
    • Строгий запрет с первых же лет правления династии Мин был объявлен на частную внешнеторговую деятельность. Всю заморскую торговлю власти пытались свести к обмену данью и дарами с зарубежными посольствами. Правда, с этими посольствами всегда приходили иноземные купцы. Но их товары регистрировались и в значительной мере приобретались казной. Лишь оставшееся разрешалось пускать в продажу в строго ограниченные сроки и отведенном месте. (A strict ban on private foreign trade activities was declared from the very first years of the Ming dynasty's rule. The authorities attempted to reduce all overseas trade to the exchange of tribute and gifts with foreign embassies. Granted, foreign merchants always accompanied these embassies. However, their goods were registered and, to a large extent, purchased by the treasury. Only the remainder was allowed to be put up for sale within strictly limited timeframes and at designated locations.)
  • "At the outset of Ming rule, its administrative structure closely resembled that of the Tang and Song dynasties from the 7th to 12th centuries, with some minor adjustments from the Yuan era." Could you perhaps write a footnote describing the government structure of the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties?
