The Industrial Revolution of the Ming Dynasty

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.

There are too many people with warped values ​​these days. I suspect most of them only read the first chapter, and then started criticizing it after finding out the protagonist didn't rebel.

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!

During Emperor Chongzhen's reign, the country faced both internal and external troubles. There's a saying: "If the emperor suspects his ministers, he will execute them; if the ministers suspect the emperor, they will rebel." Chongzhen suspected Yuan Chonghuan and had him executed. The Donglin Party, however, harbored ambitions to seize power. Chongzhen, unable or unwilling to kill them, hesitated for a long time before finally hanging himself from a tree in the southeast.

The author has an extremely strong mental fortitude! Feel free to criticize! Feel free to insult!

Many people have commented that the late Ming Dynasty lacked the conditions for an industrial revolution. I find this puzzling. The fruits of the revolution are already in the protagonist's mind, so why worry about the conditions? As long as the protagonist finds a way to extract the fruits of the revolution—technology—from his mind, what does that have to do with assets or class?

In fact, the system was not the key to the success or failure of the Industrial Revolution. 1. The Industrial Revolution used machinery and other tools to increase our productivity. Increased productivity can solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. Once the problem of food and clothing is solved, do people care about what system you have?

If the Ming Dynasty hadn't courted disaster, it would have been a piece of cake to wipe out the Qing Dynasty. To be honest, this book is a bit hard to read. The development of science can't be driven by just one or two people; it requires a large number of people with scientific thought systems. Of course, that's not the most important thing.

While European philosophers were shining like stars, we hadn't yet grasped the relationship between productive forces and institutions. This led to the European Revolutions and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, while our students were busy figuring out how to better plagiarize our ancestors.

Leaving aside the question of whether you could succeed in industrialization during the famine-stricken late Ming Dynasty, could you even keep up with the raw material supply for such high manufacturing efficiency? Even if you managed to buy raw materials during the warlord era, you'd be taxed along the way, and you still wouldn't make a profit.
