The Ming Dynasty Can Still Be Saved

This is the pricing of goods from Western countries when they came to China for trade during the Yongle period: iron was 3.75 Wen per catty, pepper was 37.5 Wen per catty, ebony was 6.25 Wen per catty, and ivory was 6.25 Wen per catty. This is the pricing of goods sold to the West by the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period: 6,250 Wen per blue and white porcelain plate, 3,750 Wen per blue and white porcelain bowl, 18,750 Wen per catty for musk, and 1,875 Wen per iron pan. The author Yongle is not as stupid as you think, and at that time Western countries had to do business with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty occupied the Strait of Malacca and built a city there called Jiugang Xuanweisi.

The protagonist of this book really belongs to the type of old man who seeks his country. Every layout and action is to pave the way for future actions and plans, step by step to achieve his political goals for the camp. After reading many Ming Chuan novels, I like this protagonist's behavior the best. Multi-line layout, step-by-step planning, taking ten or even twenty steps at a time, the protagonist is extremely cautious and rational, does not make unnecessary moves, uses sharp but obscure methods, achieves his goal without any bloodshed but with little bloodshed. The protagonist almost managed to walk his ministers around like the Jiajing Emperor in history. The ministers below all thought they had achieved their goals, but they didn't know that it was the protagonist who made them think so.

Understand that the clan of the Ming Dynasty had a miserable life in the middle and late stages. Except for some princes who lived a better life, the rest were almost like beggars. Some princes had millions of acres of land, but they could not intervene in the management. The income was either in arrears or in arrears, because they had no power at all and were eaten to death by these scholars. The salary paid by the imperial court was not even 1/10 of the actual salary, and it was still in arrears for more than ten or twenty years. What was even worse was that many people had their jobs restricted and could only starve and wait to die.

The quantity is really small. It is definitely a good book.

This Ming Dynasty, the author has written well and realistically, but he has not written too much about the famous generals at present. It cannot be said that if you train a new army, you must be better than those historical generals. It is better to wait until the protagonist ascends the throne and expands before writing. After all, the famous generals in the Longqing and Wanli years are still very powerful. For example, Ma Fang is very Meng. I hope the author can make up for the historical regrets of these famous generals.

Chapters 45 to 50 are very well written and have a very local flavor.

The writing is pragmatic and very detailed, but there are some shortcomings in the handling of details. Do you want to read the novel? Readers can take a look at it! Generally speaking, it is very exciting. The overseas expansion in the later period should also be carried out at the same time. Don't mention it in one sentence. "The Struggle History of Zhao Gouzi" is very exciting in overseas expansion. You can learn from it! I hope the author can do better! ! [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]

I like this style of novel very much. The reform is step by step, nothing is taken for granted, and the pictures are rich. The only drawback is that the wages of officials in the Ming Dynasty were too low, and they had to support the stage staff and their families. It is impossible not to be greedy without extra income. It is recommended to increase the salary by three times. A county magistrate's annual salary is only 45 taels x 3. 135 Taels should be enough for a county magistrate to live a good life.

Beautifully written

It's well written. The author's views on the Ming Dynasty are slightly better than others. At least he doesn't make blind remarks about history.
