The "Technical Iron Triangle" they form will be the core of the turmoil in the future. •A change of the times: The novel meticulously restores the handicraft industry, water transportation, and official kiln system of the Ming Dynasty, and perfectly integrates personal struggle into the historical torrent, allowing you to feel the majestic momentum of personally promoting the development of the times.
