Driving Across the Ming Dynasty, I Run Into Zhu Chongba

If Zhu Yuanzhang had known the production data of the Iwami silver mine, he probably wouldn't have thought that going to sea was pointless. I checked and it seems that the peak annual silver production of the Iwami Silver Mine was around 38 tons, which translates to over 60,000 jin (a unit of weight) in the Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the annual silver tax revenue reached 30,000 taels. In the Ming Dynasty, silver tax accounted for about one-third of the output, which translates to an annual output of 6,000 catties. The annual output of a single Iwami silver mine is ten times that of the entire Ming Dynasty…

Please don't cut me off, I'll support you by playing mini-games.

The glass that came with Moutai was no less expensive than the liquor itself during the Ming Dynasty.

It wasn't that there wasn't enough silver. China's silver production wasn't large. But where did all that silver that was unearthed by the unequal treaties at the end of the Qing Dynasty come from? It was just useless stone that the toiling masses of several dynasties had earned through their hard work. Barbarians dug up silver from the Americas and other parts of the world and traded it away in shiploads for silk, porcelain, tea, and all sorts of daily necessities. Meanwhile, the silver was hoarded by wealthy families and powerful merchants. Ordinary people toiled their whole lives only to see the prosperity of the nation end in suffering for the people, and the decline of the nation in suffering for the people!

I'm a little unconvinced by the sudden inclusion of multiple time travelers; there was no foreshadowing, and the story isn't described in much detail later. It's like being sipping hotpot and singing songs when suddenly you're robbed by a group of bandits. It's very confusing and incomprehensible. This was a perfectly good farming and development novel, and suddenly a villain appeared. You had so much more to write about later—steam power, medicine, machinery, energy, economy—why did you suddenly throw in a military conflict? Even if you're going to reveal later that the villain is Aizen, you still need to lay the groundwork properly. My buddy ran.

The act of donating grain is like winning a lottery ticket anonymously, instantly granting a promotion to a higher level of government, and then casually telling it to two strangers who clearly have considerable power? You probably wouldn't dare show it off to your neighbors and relatives even if you won ten million in the lottery.

Why do almost all historical time-travel novels involve soul transmigration, and why do many protagonists have systems or personal spaces? It would be better to write about protagonists being able to travel between the modern era and the ancient era through time-space channels, since there is Einstein's theory of relativity as a basis for this. Writing about the protagonist traveling between the modern era and the ancient era through a time portal can showcase the direct collision between the two, which is very interesting. There are now many stories about protagonists rebelling in the early Qing Dynasty, including during the reigns of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yongzheng. It would be more interesting to write a book where the protagonist rebels during the reign of Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty or during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty.
