The subject matter is too poor.
A person travels back in time to the Chongzhen era and wants to change the Ming Dynasty within the civil service system?
Some comments and discussions with the author
Finally, someone noticed that Emperor Chongzhen lacked imperial power, but your portrayal of Chongzhen has major problems. Chongzhen was politically naive, not stupid or mentally unstable. Your portrayal of Chongzhen doesn't seem like that of a normal young man. Furthermore, Emperor Chongzhen lacked trustworthiness; he placed a high degree of trust in his teachers and respected ministers.
Emperor Chongzhen truly had no choice but to die; this was the choice made by the imperial military clique. The main reason was that the military clique had abandoned the central court. There's no turning back for a soldier's betrayal. If the court is wealthy, that's the end for the Song Dynasty; if it's poor, it depends on ability—either a peasant uprising changes the dynasty, or external forces…
If the protagonist doesn't become emperor, then he will definitely carry out a comprehensive reform to limit the emperor's power. It's useless if the protagonist simply copies technology from later generations and adds a few reforms. If a country wants to produce a large number of original inventions, it must undergo systematic changes in many aspects, including its ideological foundation…
Taking the money back to my hometown, I'll raise a banner and buy a new house. It's not much better than being a mender and patcher.
At this point, there was no need to save the Ming Dynasty, nor was it possible to save it. It was rotten to the core from top to bottom, and it would have been better to tear it down and rebuild it.
This is one of the two rare good books about the late Ming Dynasty recently, but they both have a common problem: the updates are not frequent!
Writing about being an official during the Chongzhen era
I have no idea how the author wrote it. First of all, you can't count on Emperor Chongzhen's personality. He offended the Donglin Party from the very beginning, so it would be ridiculous to allow him to jump around like that! Wei Zhongxian was ruthless and powerful, but even he needed the Emperor Tianqi's desire to suppress the Donglin Party.
The main character seems to be getting sillier and sillier.
The fall of the Ming Dynasty was the result of a confluence of factors. Even if the protagonist were to transmigrate into the body of the Chongzhen Emperor, possessing modern knowledge, he would still find it difficult to overcome the triple predicament of institutional inertia, financial collapse, and political corruption.
