Ming dynasty was notorious for brutality and the corruption of the civil service though.
there is no dynastic era that didn't have that, it's kind of a non starter for the conversation.
The size, stability and wealth of the era is most important, the Ming delivered the highest population in Chinese history up to that point, largely without new world crops
I mean the Ming dynasty really maxed out on the brutality even compared to others. Guess it depends on your priorities tho, and anyway that might be based on Qing propaganda
