The Map

The Ming dynasty had four major rivers. These rivers were the Yellow R., the Wei R., the Yangtse R.   , and the Western r. Having rivers is very important because watt was a need for crops and drinking. It was important to grow crops so that they could either trade or sell the crops to become wealthier. The first capital of  The Ming dynasty was Nanjing until the emperor changed it to Beijing. This is important because it was closer to the ocean and that means that they could export goods easier. Since the Ming dynasty was in proper China it was mostly flat lands.
