Anyone who has studied history knows that the Qing Dynasty began to decline from the late Qianlong period.
I don't think I can call me stupid.
But he did do something unwise.
In the simplest way, a big corrupt official or a "powerful official" and a gentry are made in Gan Long.
Got promoted.
Even before Gan Long died, he told his son that he had to shovel him.
(This is another story. I'm not sure if this is true or not. What I know for sure is that I didn't like gentlemen when I was old. )
We should all have seen Kangxi traveling incognito.
Kangxi visited Jiangnan six times, Qianlong studied under his grandfather, and visited the south six times.
I quote a passage here, and the book I read says,
"Gan Long traveled more than 5,800 miles in the south of China. Wherever he goes, all roads must be dusted with water and covered with yellow sand, and 30 new palaces will be built on the way. "
I won't say much about such things.
Compared with Kangxi, Qianlong's southern tour paid more attention to fun and ostentation.
Of course, there are also his contributions, and Qianlong attaches importance to the promotion of high-yield grain.
As much. You can check it on the website.
The above is just my personal opinion, which is superficial.
But I hope it helps you.
