General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

chat a few words
I haven't been writing very well recently, so I decided to write something casual.

Briefly talk about the past and present of this book.

Some readers may have found the comment section. This book itself originated from an accident. That is, one day when I was browsing something, I was pushed a question about "The Ming Dynasty 1566".

At that time, it was just during the opening period of the book, so I wrote a lot of bits and pieces, and found that it seemed to be the subject of a new book, so I just took the questions and gradually made up an outline.

It’s just that at the very beginning, the protagonist is Prince Zhuang Jing, which is written from the perspective of Zhu Zaiyu in a more traditional historical writing method, but later, for some reasons, it was changed to use the perspective of a courtier.

The more I wrote later, the more I found out that the concept of some content was too heavy, and it was indeed because of limited ability that I couldn't grasp it.

When I read history in the past, I always felt that every feudal dynasty had a feeling of "its rise is rapid, and its demise is sudden." I always felt that a dynasty was originally good, but why did it suddenly collapse? The most regrettable thing is actually the Ming Dynasty.

It’s not that I think the Ming Dynasty is so good, but why there was a Qing Dynasty, and why the Ming Dynasty died, so that the Qing Dynasty took advantage of it. If the Ming Dynasty does not perish, will capitalism be just a sprout? The Industrial Revolution and so on...

There is really no answer to these questions with a heroic historical perspective. The most objective and idealistic answer is that the Ming Dynasty was unlucky, the Han people were unlucky, and this land was unlucky.

I used to think that was the answer, just plain bad luck.

Until later when I was in college, because I was studying in Jiangxi at that time, I went to the ruins of a porcelain kiln to play. After looking around, I overturned this objective and idealistic answer.

Because the same original handicraft workshop.

The advent of the shuttle and Jenny machine led to changes in the transportation industry and triggered the industrial revolution. It was because production efficiency improved and businessmen pursued profits. Everything else was natural. It was obvious that this porcelain kiln was not up to par.

Why did Jenny machine come out, that is, to ship all the cotton cloth outside to sell.

Why is the porcelain fired in this porcelain kiln just a pile of bad-looking porcelain piled up into a mountain, and they don’t even bother to transport it abroad, instead of giving birth to Huizhou merchants to develop four-wheeled carriages and finally trains?
I know that it is definitely not unprofitable, even if it is the poorest porcelain, as long as it is shipped out, it will definitely be sold at a high price.

Excluding nothing is worthless, and excluding ancient merchants is a**, it can only show that the answer is wrong.

In other words, the industrial revolution was only a secondary reason, and it was something else that really turned the historical process of the East and the West.

Fortunately, this question did not confuse me for too long, because it happened to be the time when "Three-Body Problem" was the most popular, and big data naturally pushed Liu Cixin's long-ago short story "Western Ocean" to me.

Looking back now, I still feel very lucky that the pillow came as soon as I dozed off.

As soon as I finished watching "Western Ocean", I knew where the problem might be. At that time, I had a guess.

Because the Enlightenment Movement at the same time was too bright, when I was in middle school, I didn’t remember the teacher or textbooks saying that Europe was going through a so-called “price revolution” at the same time as the Enlightenment Movement. I took my guess and went backwards. Check the information again.

Only then did I realize that there was indeed a price revolution in Europe in the sixteenth century, and it was a historical event that was inconspicuous in itself but clearly played a key role in linking the past and the future.

The sky is wide.

There is no destiny, and the entry point of Teacher Liu Cixin's "Western Ocean" is very precise.

Zheng He's voyages to the West were a test that history put to East Asia. If Zheng He could have discovered America, the Industrial Revolution would have definitely happened in the East. But Zheng He did not discover it and just passed by America. There is nothing to say.

From Zhu Di to Jiajing, the period of more than 100 years is the last window period. If this window period can catch up, it can at least be equal (this period is also very complicated. If Zheng He discovers America, it will take the time , people and harmony, but because of the voyage and ocean currents, the geographical advantage of East Asia is destined to not be able to occupy it. After the Jiajing Dynasty, the Little Ice Age will start to cause troubles, and the interior of the Ming Dynasty will become rigid. The key is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Nurhachi also began to sharpen their swords It is equivalent to the fact that the weather, location, and people are not in Daming, and there is no game.)
So I chose such a time and opened such a book.

But when I actually wrote it down, I found that it was really difficult to write, and it can even be said to be difficult to write. Of course, it also has something to do with my level of food. There are no predecessors to refer to. Naturally, it must be a heroic view of history, which may also be the reason why historical web articles were criticized as "historical nihilism", because this great power is the credit of the people who robbed, and the credit of the common people who robbed.

This book looks very sensitive, but it has not been disturbed by the review until now (sneaking in secret, I hope it will not be locked in a dark room in the future).

Speaking of this book, since I chose this setting at the beginning, I didn't expect to be able to write a particularly long one.

Maybe in the early 100 million, or up to 200 million words.

But since I have written it, I still hope that in the future, authors who don’t want to write about the view of heroes’ history and want to try to write historical articles with the view of class history can explore this road a little bit forward. I am not enough alone, so let’s Just bring a few more people, and it will be a matter of time before this road comes out. If you are lucky enough to make the cake bigger, at least the so-called YY labels on Wangwen can be lightened.

As for money, it's not that important. It's not that newcomers are too poor to eat, and they don't have children who are waiting for money to raise them every day. While there is still a chance, do what you want to do quickly. alright.

I lowered my head and glanced at almost [-] characters. I couldn't get any more water, so I hurried to type.
