Answer

No, free movement was not encouraged in the empire under Hongwu Emperor. Hongwu Emperor, who ruled China from 1368 to 1398, was a very conservative ruler who did not like change. He believed that the best way to maintain order in the empire was to keep people under control. Therefore, he restricted free movement by requiring people to obtain travel permits and by building walls and moats around cities.
