Need the help from other editors
Thanks for your invitation user Teeninvestor. I think we need help from other more able editors, especially PericlesofAthens and Madalibi. Arilang   talk  17:24, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Ming's costly projects

 * 1) Building the Great Wall
 * 2) Building the Beijing royal palace
 * 3) Engaged in many large scale wars, for example Imjin War
 * 4) Building hundreds of ocean going ships for Zheng He's seven oversea trips.

All the above projects cost a lot of money. We need to find out where the cash came from. Arilang   talk  17:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, they didn't just employ coin cash, but also things that could be commuted to coin cash, like taxed grain gathered from farming peasants (before silver was made a standard taxable item). In any case, this article relies too much on one source. However, I'm sure Teeninvestor is far from done and plans to employ a lot more sources as this article grows and matures.-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 18:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
