Ming Dynasty Innovation

Xiao Yu, a modern young man, accidentally fell into the sea and traveled to the east coast of Zhejiang in the late Ming Dynasty, where there were internal and external troubles. At that time, the court was corrupt, peasant uprisings were raging, and Japanese pirates and Western powers were eyeing it. Having barely survived a storm, he emerged with modern knowledge. Xiao Yu quickly won the trust of simple fishermen by improving fishing nets, treating the injured, and skillfully using tides to avoid danger. By chance, he discovered a secret salt farm in a fishing village and used chemical knowledge to improve the salt-making process. However, he attracted secret prying eyes from the salt merchants' guild and the greedy covetousness of thousands of households in the guard house. At the same time, the Holy Lady of the White Lotus Sect had evil intentions and tried to use him to expand her power; the Donglin Party offered an olive branch and wanted to take him into her own hands; the Chief of Ceremonies, in order to please the emperor, coveted his refined salt and novel inventions; the power of Western powers also quietly penetrated, the Dutch East India Company attempted to occupy the Gulf, and the Japanese ninjas waited for opportunities to steal technology. Faced with the overt and covert struggles of various forces, Xiao Yu relied on wisdom and courage to deal with it. He formed a juvenile reconnaissance team, improved weapons and equipment, and upgraded from basic seawater desalination and salt production to pioneering black technological breakthroughs, gradually realizing the rise of science and technology. In the naval battle, he skillfully used "Mentos Cola Cannon" and "Hidden Dragon Boat" and other strange tricks to defeat the Japanese pirates and Western powers; in the court, he exposed the conspiracy of profiteers colluding with foreign enemies and brought down his opponents. In the end, Xiao Yu integrated the forces of all parties and established a prosperous new order along the coast, opening a legendary chapter of Ming Dynasty innovation and leading this land towards a promising future.
