Something feels wrong. I have never read the history of the Ming Dynasty, so I don't have this foundation. Our understanding of the Ming Dynasty basically comes from the events of the Ming Dynasty. If the book had not been compiled. I don't think increasing productivity will save the Ming Dynasty. Not only the authors of Qidian, but almost everyone likes to look at problems from their own perspective. The author saw the lack of productivity in the Ming Dynasty, but that was compared with modern society. There were no consecutive years of disaster in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no problem at all in shaming latecomers, including Li Zicheng. Give tomorrow a chance to breathe. If outsiders react slowly, they will never have another chance. So if we don't solve the system problem, no matter how good the guns are, we can't do it. If it cannot be transported to the battlefield and there is no one to coordinate it, it will be in vain if it is built. More people like to simplify complex problems, thinking that as long as the technology tree is pointed out. It will definitely be invincible in the world. But all authors avoid the question of loyalty. The setting is that all his subordinates are loyal. But this is absolutely impossible. A dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years and brainwashing for hundreds of years is definitely not a joke. Just like freedom, equality, environment, and human rights, they are restricted areas for others. If you want to change, no matter how reasonable you are, the only result will be failure. Even if everyone can work together (which is still not possible, and I think this will never be possible) cultivating qualified workers does not happen overnight. Students are required to study English seriously since elementary school. However, how many of them can use English proficiently in the college entrance examination? This is just a difference in language. And if you want to cultivate a group of industrial talents, it will take decades to have qualified thinking. So whenever there is a plot where the protagonist will quickly solve the problem whenever necessary, I am speechless. If a protagonist is willing to sacrifice his life, not to fight for power, not to enjoy life. If you focus on cultivating talents, a behemoth may appear in the world decades after the protagonist dies of old age. It's a pity that the main characters are all selfish. I am saying in these points that the modern industrial system cannot be established by a single person. And I would rather say that even if modern industry is really established. This dynasty should collapse or it will collapse. No matter how powerful a weapon is, it still requires someone to use it. The same thing in the hands of different people has very different effects. There are really big differences between different weapons and different tactics. Just those people who fought for power hundreds of years ago. If you give him a nuclear bomb, it will be for free. It's useless.
There are too many people with bad views these days. I suspect that most people just read the first chapter and then found out that the protagonist did not rebel and came to complain.
There are too many bright fans at the starting point. How have they been brainwashed? Since ancient times, there has been a saying: Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed? Why can't we rebel? The late Ming Dynasty, which was rotten to the core, will be completely destroyed and a new dynasty will be rebuilt!
When Chongzhen was in power, there were internal and external worries. There is a saying that if the king doubts the minister, he will be punished; if the minister doubts the king, he will rebel. Chongzhen suspected Yuan Chonghuan and killed him. The Donglin Party is determined to change the situation. Chongzhen did not want to kill them or could not kill them, so he lingered for a long time and hung himself on the southeast branch.
Finally someone scolded me, happy, welcome to spray!
The author has a strong endurance! Welcome to spray! Welcome to scold!
This is the first time I write a review without reading the book, because the comment section is so busy...
Many people commented that there was no soil for the Industrial Revolution at the end of the Ming Dynasty. I was confused. The fruits were all in the protagonist's head, so why bother with the soil problem? As long as the protagonist finds a way to get the results of the revolution - technology out of his mind, does this have anything to do with the capitalists and class? Secondly, if the protagonist wants to turn the technical route in his mind into results and keep the results, you must have force! Either you become the emperor yourself or rebel, which is the best policy; being a dog leg to others, or giving up your interests and compromising with others, is theoretically possible... But if you pin your life and career on the idea that others don't want to rob you, where is the pleasure? This is the poisoning of Chiguoguo. Well, I'm going to read a book now.
In fact, institutions are not the key to the success of the Industrial Revolution. 1. The Industrial Revolution uses machinery and other tools to increase our productivity. The increase in productivity can solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. Once the problem of food and clothing is solved, will the people care about your system? 2. The success of our country's industrial revolution lies in the fact that small family industrial workshops provided the soil for the industrial revolution. Why? Because the industrial revolution is a bottom-up process, such as large industrial enterprises in Southeast Asian countries. They are castles in the air and flashy. 3. I prefer that when the author wrote about the replacement of manpower by machinery, he did not realize the industrial revolution in a violent and barbaric way, but in a cyclical and gradual way, with warm water simmering the world. 4. I admit that the author should have added some illogical events for the dramatic effect of the work. But overall I think it's a good novel. The above opinions mainly come from "The Great Chinese Industrial Revolution". Interested students can check it out.
If the Ming Dynasty does not seek death, it will only take a matter of minutes to kill the Manchus. To be honest, this book is a bit unreadable. The development of science can only be driven by one or two people. What is needed is a large number of people with a scientific ideological system. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that even if the Ming Dynasty had nuclear bombs, those Confucianists would choose to surrender. This is not a weapon issue at all.
When European philosophers of the same period were shining like stars, we had not yet understood the relationship between productivity and institutions. Therefore, the European Revolution produced the Declaration of Human Rights, while our students were studying how to better copy their ancestors. Therefore, the difference between our Ming and Qing Dynasties is not science and technology. Even if you build Gundam to help the Ming Dynasty, it will still harm us Han people. At that time, what we needed were liberal arts students who could study the future, not science and technology. I dare to say that at any time if we have someone who understands the relationship between productivity and the system, we will be on the right path.
Let's not talk about whether it was possible for you to engage in industry in the late Ming Dynasty when you didn't have enough to eat. With such high manufacturing efficiency, can your raw materials keep up? When the warlords separatized the country, even if you bought the raw materials and were taxed all the way, you could make a profit mmp. Is this any different from the Republic of China period when you saved the country through industry and ran back to develop industry, only to be robbed and forced to go bankrupt? You have repeatedly emphasized that you don't want to scheming with these people. If you don't cut off this carrion that is lying on the country and sucking blood, you can develop a ghost. Do you believe that the things you make can't make it out of the capital? Relying on Chongzhen is even more unreliable. Chongzhen is not a qualified boss. It is common for his subordinates to be in trouble. He also likes to command at higher levels like Chang Kaishen. The key point is that he does not have Chang Kaishen's political skills. I will only tell you what I feel after reading more than a dozen pictures. If you want to industrialize the revolution, you must first increase food production. Otherwise, the gentry's urine will be cooked in Jiangnan. Cooked in the world will become cooked in Huguang. Cooked in the world. Why? Because *** grows tea and raises silkworms to make a fortune. They don't care about the national food output. As long as your food is stable and the people have food, you will not invent and create. At that time, the handicraft industry of the Ming Dynasty could crush the whole world. You only need to be responsible for popularizing education and letting people learn scientific knowledge. Plus improving the status of scientists, everything will fall into place. The more advanced the technology, the better. With the current approach, once the protagonist dies, he will basically regress. It is useless to fight alone. Don't tell me why Support accumulating strength, making money to develop strength, and competing in the Central Plains, because like in ancient China, you were not the founding emperor, and you did not have such a big say. The whole country listened to you, and you had great prestige. As long as you wanted to develop science and technology, you were not the emperor at that time. Confucianism can play you to death, and if someone is as strong as Zhang Juzheng, people will die and the government will die after death. If you are the founding emperor and live to the age of Qianlong, after decades of development, a large number of followers of the Technological Religion have developed, plus the ancestral family law, what is the ancestral precept? That is, the national policy you set is a basic national policy, and it is almost impossible for future generations to repeat it. Unless the country is destroyed, all that is left can only be to add words to the framework of your ancestral precepts. You must be able to build a team of 100 people and specialize in picking out words. Such experts are engaged in ancestral precepts more than ten or twenty years in advance. 😂 I think there must be loopholes, one time There are special circumstances of an era, but basically you can only play within your framework. In addition, the interest groups in the new era in the era of 2-3 emperors do not allow the "farming, reading and heirloom" of the past to reappear. The above is a personal opinion, Ps: Just a few chapters into the book, and then the gun is fired? How did you solve the problem of spring materials? Just the ancient method of frying steel? If you want to study science and technology first, study materials first. This is at least slightly more reasonable.
