Statebuilding:
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to revitalize China by looking back and being conservative. He wanted people to support themselves and live as small farmers without trade. He reopened the grand canal and expanded roads. Began to unite the people through Mandadrin. A new capital is established: Beijing.
Due to more people staying at home, more people have sex, due to western crops there is more food and population increases. When population increases more people begin to work in specialized areas.
----------------------------------
Increased Contact and Trade:
He administered a pass that was needed for people to travel. This made it harder for people to trade and travel without these legal passes. People were told not to trade, which then hurt trade. Essentially this forms a trade underground. He reopened the grand canal and expands roads, which helped to push contact and trade unintentionally, when he really wanted to use these methods to move government officials. Contact with the west brought new crops to China, and distilled alcohol to the west. Due to increased population and specialization, underground trade increases with a variety of goods. Jingdezhen moved Chinese porcelain industrializing its trade. China was the only place where porcelain of this quality could be made, so there was a demand for it.
