At the beginning of Qianlong's accession to the throne, he implemented the policy of mutual assistance, served the country pragmatically, attached importance to farming and mulberry, and stopped donating money, and so on. At the same time, he visited the south of the Yangtze River, worked as a river worker, inspected the people's officials, visited the gentry, trained scholars and visited the mausoleum. He went to the south of the Yangtze River six times and repeatedly gave orders to save tens of millions of silver from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. All these fully reflect his literary treatment.
Gan Long is an outstanding military commander. He used the powerful military power of the Qing Dynasty and the gap between ethnic minorities to pacify Junggar in the northwest twice, Uighur in Xinjiang once, Jinchuan in the southwest twice, Lin Uprising in Taiwan Province Province once, Myanmar once, Vietnam once and Gurkha in Nepal twice. History books evaluate him as a perfect martial artist and call him a perfect old man.
Gan Long, who advocates elegance and is good at riding and shooting, is a famous collector of cultural relics with his pen and ink footprints all over the country. However, in his later years, the life of Qianlong was extravagant, the treasury was exhausted, and corrupt officials and gentry were reused, so that peasant uprisings appeared in his later years, which was a sign that the Qing Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.

The main political measures of emperor Qianlong
First, ease contradictions.
After emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, he first eased the political tension caused by Yongzheng period. In the early years of Qianlong, in order to ease the tense political atmosphere, adjust contradictions and improve relations in all aspects, Yongzheng's policy also changed and adjusted greatly.
Emperor Qianlong's poems in his later years also said that "political reality should combine leniency with severity", but on most occasions, the combination of leniency and severity is always mentioned together, and the two are regarded as "combining leniency with severity and political harmony", which is the only way for Qianlong's rule.
Second, attach importance to the management of officials.
Emperor Qianlong reinstated officials who were dismissed for accepting bribes during Yongzheng period, did not pursue corruption cases, and relaxed the performance evaluation of officials. As a result, bureaucracy broke down and greed revived. After Li Hong became aware of it, he began to deal with corruption cases seriously in the third year of Qianlong (1738), and immediately executed the corrupt criminals whose circumstances were serious and verified.
In Qianlong junior high school, Li Hong attached importance to the management of officials. First of all, he attaches importance to the selection of officials. He stressed that officials should be in their prime, officials over 55 should be carefully screened, and officials over 65 should be introduced. It is up to them to decide whether they can succeed him. He divided incompetent officials into eight categories: old, sick, impetuous, incompetent, weak, unwilling and greedy, and gave them different treatments.
Third, attach importance to agriculture.
Emperor Qianlong inherited the policies of Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties and paid more attention to agricultural production. He believes that "people are the foundation of the country, food is the foundation of the people" and "serving the country is enough, agriculture and mulberry are the first". He asked the north to learn agricultural technology from the south. In the past, mulberry trees were everywhere in Guizhou, and sericulture and textile were not cultivated. He instructed local officials in Guizhou to recruit sericulture and textile experts from other provinces and teach them technology. He told local officials to pay attention to planting trees and conserving water and soil.
Emperor Qianlong encouraged land reclamation and expanded planting area. In the second year of Yongzheng (1724), the cultivated land area in China was 6.83 million hectares, and in the thirty-first year of Qianlong (1766), it expanded to 74 1 10,000 hectares. Urumqi is vast and sparsely populated. He helps the poor in Gansu to cultivate seeds.
Fourth, the pro-business policy
Emperor Qianlong attached great importance to the development of commerce and gave him a loose policy. He also adopted some pro-business policies. It is stipulated that businessmen can sell grain in places with poor harvest without paying rice tax, and people are allowed to traffic a small amount of salt (which was not allowed during Yongzheng period). Financial institutions (banks engaged in exchange, deposit and credit) also began to appear in the Qianlong dynasty. Due to the development of production, the national fiscal revenue has increased year by year since the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong.
