Synopsis

In the first year of Longqing (1567), the Ming Dynasty lifted the maritime ban and opened the market in Yuegang, Fujian. Silver poured in like a tide, and an era of globalization that had been ignored by official history quietly began. Lin Mufeng, a down-and-out scholar, was involved in this wave. He gradually became a customs reformer from the dock accountant, trying to use the system to establish rules in troubled times. Side by side with him but against his will is the smuggling tycoon He Mubai - he hates this court, but desires recognition more than anyone else. What supports Lin Mufeng is the kindness and life of his wife Shen Nianci; and the enemy who understands him best is Yang Huaide, the censor of Neo-Confucianism - a "villain" that no one can hate. From Yuegang to Manila, from Malacca to Batavia, five little people trapped by the times struggle, choose, lose and inherit between the waves and silver. This is not a story about a hero conquering the sea, but a tragic epic about a group of people trying to change the direction of the flow. When the silver tide ebbs, what remains on the beach is not wealth—it's a seed. In a word: The first person to open sea in Longqing, the forgotten customs reformer. Heavier than silver, longer than the tide.

Reader comments

It is well written, but it is also written very quickly, and the amount of information in each chapter is explosive. People who do not know the history of the two generations of emperors Longqing and Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the stories of famous historical ministers may find it difficult to read, and the reading threshold is not low. Throughout the story, historical facts and grassroots struggles are intertwined. The author has a very strong knowledge base and has unique insights into geography, history, and urban development. The early novels were a bit slow to pick up, always with a God's perspective, but later on they gradually entered the story, and I felt the inextricable connection between the imperial struggle and the fate of the people. It would be better if there were more stories about the imperial struggle in the early stage, and it will gradually get better in the later stage, come on! ! ! [Smile][smile][smile]

First of all, this is a historical novel, not an online novel. After reading it, I realized that the early days of the customs were like this, and the Lin Mufeng in the article grew up from a bookkeeper to a reformer. It standardized the customs system under the historical background of the time and changed China's chaotic customs status. It is an article that can be learned, and I will follow it later!

Historical novels are very rare. Really. They increase your knowledge and see the lifting of the sea ban. Step by step, history

Please Read the First Chapter so That People Can Continue Reading.

I often can't stand it after reading the first chapter. It needs to be a male and female protagonist, with many emotional lines, complete, and the word count should be about 500,000 words. Don't be in the entertainment industry, the subject matter is novel, and don't use the same old routines. ⭕️Key points: content that can help me survive the early stage
