The Master said, "To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent [worshipful] attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure [expenses], and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons." How did Hongwu exemplify Confucian ideas? He built a strong military of "a thousand chariots." He encouraged the employment of men only. He encouraged reverent behavior among the people. He helped the economy of his country grow.

The correct answer is D) He helped the economy of his country grow.

Hongwu exemplifies Confucian ideas in that he helped the economy of his country grow.

That is why he said, "To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent [worshipful] attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure [expenses]." That attention to business allowed the ruler of the Ming Dynasty to have strong agriculture that produced many crops, quality goods that were exported to other regions, diminish importations, and combined with the restoration of the Chinese traditions and the victory over the Mongols, Hongwu could maintain a political environment and economic stability to generate prosperity in the Ming Empire.
