I Am Practicing Daily Life in Wanli

The first two chapters of this book are very exciting and attracted me to read on. However, the further I read, the more I discovered a problem. The author loves to research and has corresponding historical information. The writing style is good, but the logic of the writing is a bit... Hard to comment on. In the words of one of the book friends, it is a political fairy tale for beginners. The author is very sophisticated in the book, and it is easy for readers to get into the rigorous thinking logic. However, as you read, you will find that writing ancient history results in a modern concept mixed in. When Zhang Juzheng and the Queen Mother held power and Wanli could only obey, the protagonist actually asked the Queen Mother to apologize? This is undoubtedly caused by a kind of modern thinking. The logic of the original article was directly destroyed, and some book friends looked confused when they read it (I was among them). But if you look at it purely as an attitude of refreshing writing, it is undoubtedly good, because this kind of writing style, coupled with this kind of textual research, can be regarded as a dump truck in the genre of refreshing writing

What are you writing about, Laoshizi Wu Qinghou, so I ran away, whining and whining.

The protagonist has the best of both worlds

I really like the author's character background of the protagonist, but Shen Nian's behavior doesn't seem to be much different from Su Liang's. It would be nice if there could be a little difference in personality.

If the eunuch collects taxes and the author criticizes him, then you know how good he is.

The author's thoughts are completely biased towards corrupt Confucianism. In this novel, almost all officials are good, even those traitorous Shanxi merchant representative officials and those stubborn officials who have been resisting the reform are also good officials. The writing of the novel is good, but the thinking is wrong.

As a pickpocket, the Qing Dynasty would definitely change or even discredit the history of the Ming Dynasty. After all, it was ruled by the Manchus, and Han people could not be high officials at that time.

Taking the initiative to help Shangguan take the blame,,, if he is not a direct descendant, he might actually take the blame.

If the protagonist does not become the emperor, then the protagonist must carry out comprehensive changes that limit the emperor's rights. It is useless if the protagonist just copies the technology of later generations and adds a few reforms. If a country wants to produce a large number of original inventions and creations, it must carry out systematic changes in ideological foundation, political structure, legal system, social forces and other aspects. The reason why Britain was the first to enter the Industrial Revolution is that after experiencing the ideological changes of the European Renaissance, coupled with the British Glorious Revolution of 1688, the king's rights were further restricted. Britain established the framework of parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law, and the bourgeoisie, the new aristocracy, and the king formed a check and balance, which allowed British civilians to gain unprecedented freedom. At this time, the degree of freedom of scholars, craftsmen, and farmers in Britain was higher than that of other European countries at the same time, and it was far more liberal than the civilians of China's Ming and Qing dynasties. The high degree of freedom of all British civilians fully inspired everyone's strength. The power of the Chinese emperor was not greatly restricted, and all officials, gentry and landlords were dependent on the imperial power. The freedom of civilians, who account for the vast majority of the country's population, is too low. This system inhibits innovation and hinders social development. China's Zhou Dynasty was a feudal system, and the central government could not control much of the local princes' affairs. The princes competed with each other. During this period, Chinese civilization truly allowed a hundred flowers to bloom. Most of the essence of Chinese civilization came from this period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the "Mo Jing" recorded the principles of optics and mechanics, and the germination of geometry had emerged; the "Gan Shi Xing Jing" recorded astronomical observation data. But from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there was almost no progress! The institutional innovation of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods stagnated after the Qin and Han Dynasties, lacking the ability to dynamically adjust. Since the Qin Dynasty, especially since the Han Dynasty deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, Chinese civilization has almost stood still and entered a dead end. The Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were similar to the ancient systems of most European countries. They were all feudal systems. Even in successive years of war, less than 10% of the country's total population died directly or indirectly as a result of the war. But from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, every dynasty would kill half or more of the country's population due to war! What is even more tragic is that every time there is a change of dynasty, there is almost no progress in the system and culture! {"NickName":"Restriction and Supervision","UserId":417773267}

The writing is good, but the story, as mentioned in the comment section, is just a fairy tale, a bit childish. . . The superiority and arrogance of the modern democratic system are revealed between the lines. On the other hand, it advocates personal romantic heroism. I don't understand whether this supports the rule of man or the rule of law? Especially the plot that encourages hundreds of schools of thought to debate. On the one hand, it mocks other people's idealism, but on the other hand, what it praises is not that strong, so it is difficult to hold back. In the end, I still think this book is quite good in my overall evaluation. Compared with other historical novels, the flaws are not hidden (in the words of the book, it is called "a white jade with slight flaws").

It's so smooth, the protagonist's plan is implemented as expected, everyone above listens to what the protagonist says, and all the suggestions made by the protagonist are passed. It's so smooth, there is no sense of intrigue. And the Zhang and Wang families will not just surrender. They hold military power and a lot of money. It is impossible to wait for them to be investigated obediently. Wang Chonggu has not returned to Beijing, how can he be investigated? If he knows that he will be investigated, he will return to Beijing obediently?

The writing is quite good, but overall I feel it is not as good-looking as the previous book. Moreover, Zhang Juzheng is too beautified. This guy's ability is not bad, but his moral character is far from that in the book. Secondly, let's talk about constitutional monarchy. This approach is simply not possible in this era. The monarchy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you want to establish a constitutional monarchy, you must first break the constraints of Confucianism. This is tantamount to wishful thinking. For details, please refer to the Republic of China. The change of an era never depends on one person, but a group of people, many people, most people, only with great ambition and sacrifice, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky. Without experiencing a bloody revolution, it is simply impossible to establish a constitutional monarchy.

This book is very comfortable to read. It talks about the political and ecological environment of the Wanli Dynasty. The characters are also described in a detailed and vivid manner through words and deeds. The ability to write about the two aspects of environment and character has surpassed 90% of online article authors. In addition, the plot also changes from loose to tight and from point to point. Generally speaking, the writing has a "picture sense", like a "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" from the Ming Dynasty slowly stretching out before your eyes. When I looked at the author, oh, it turned out to be an old author. I also read the previous book and gave it a thumbs up!

The author has sufficient historical information and a good knowledge reserve, but the writing style of the story is really not good. There is no story line, each character is not fully fleshed out, and the complexity of the characters is not written. It's good for history novices, but not very attractive to old people like me.

He always said that he should be steady, but in the end, it was a small thing in two days and a big thing in three days. He looked for the protagonist again and again, as if the court could not function without the protagonist. He was obviously a big-ass official.

The author wrote the protagonist so selflessly, I have never seen such a selfless time traveler! And would Yin Zhengmao, a corruption criminal, have such a high level of consciousness? At first, he said that his son would not be left in the same trap as Zhang Juzheng's descendants. According to the author's writing, it would be strange not to have his house confiscated.

The idea of ​​abolishing redundant officials and redundant posts is a bit too ideal.

I couldn't stand the debate when I saw it. I felt it was too idealistic. Debate is not just about the public saying that the public is right and the other party being right, nor is there a standard answer to mathematics 1+1=2. Comment on this book. I think the author's writing style and the rhythm of the novel are very good. If it were a few years ago, I, an old white reader, would have liked it very much. Now I have read more and thought more. If I use my brain a little, I will feel that it is a drama and I can't stand it anymore. I am not here to dissuade everyone with this comment. Instead, I hope that people who read the comment can read it for themselves. The book review can only be used as a reference. The writing is much better than most AI articles. I came to Qidian to pay to read books just to find this kind of book. The author has his own ideas and writing style. I hope Qidian will recommend more articles like this, rather than the kind of AI routine articles, which I will go directly to the other book for free.

The petty feudal reformists can only achieve this, and are not as powerful as the reformistsdegree

No wonder he's so good, it's you. That's okay! Come on

I can't put my finger on it. I've read more than a hundred of them, and it feels like the author's perspective is from the perspective of literati. I'm talking about literati, not a civil servant group or a government-business group, but the literati class. I don't know if that's true. Let's take another look.

Why do most dynasties in historical novels call officials "adult"❓ Before the Yuan Dynasty, "adult" in all dynasties was usually used to address parents and elders. "Adult" was rarely used to address officials in formal situations. It was occasionally used as a flattering title for eunuchs (eunuchs). Officials in the Yuan Dynasty were generally not called "adults" and were addressed by their official positions in formal situations. However, in informal situations, senior officials or special groups occasionally began to be called "adults". Officials in the Ming Dynasty were usually not called "adults". In formal occasions, they were addressed by official position, rank or "old gentleman". In informal situations, sporadic use cases have emerged due to the influence of the Yuan Dynasty (for example, in the Yuan drama "Pipa Ji", senior officials are called "adults"). The Ming Dynasty notebook "Gu Bu Gu Lu" mentions that the Sansi (the highest local administrative agency) addressed the governor as "Old Sir" and the patrol supervisor as "Sir Sir", but such usage is still an isolated phenomenon. In Ming Dynasty novels (such as "Journey to the West"), the title "adult" is occasionally seen, but it is more influenced by the Yuan Dynasty drama scripts rather than a true portrayal of officialdom. In reality, calling an ordinary official "sir" may lead to misunderstanding or even ridicule, as it is more commonly used to refer to parents or eunuchs. Before the mid-Qing Dynasty, "adult" was rarely used alone as an official title. Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" mentioned that during the Kangxi period, there was no convention for the title of "adult" for officials, and it was not until Yongzheng that it gradually became common. Fang Junshi's "Jiaoxuan Suilu" pointed out that during the Kangxi period, non-imperial officials and even governors were not called "sir". It was not until Yongzheng that calling officials "sir" gradually became common.

Why is this history channel all about the Ming Dynasty?

Before the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was not called "Emperor". In the Song Dynasty, he was mostly called "Guanjia", and in other dynasties, he was called "Your Majesty". In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was occasionally called "Emperor", and in most cases he was called "Your Majesty". After Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, people began to be generally called "Emperor". Princes and princes call themselves: Princes in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties can be called "Gu", and a few can be called "Ignores". After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the title of "Ignores" gradually became exclusive to the emperor, and princes, princes and princes can only be called "Gu" or "I". Song, Yuan and Ming called themselves "I" or "I". Before the Qing Dynasty, princes and princes rarely called themselves "this king". Starting from the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty, princes generally called themselves "this king". In ancient times, women called themselves: "nujia" was a modest name for women after the Song Dynasty. Women in the Han and Tang Dynasties more often called themselves "concubine", and noble women could call themselves "I" and "I". Before the mid-Ming Dynasty, most dynasties used copper coins for daily transactions, with very little gold and silver. It was only in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty that silver became the mainstream currency. In the late Ming Dynasty, "meeting votes/deposit checks" appeared among the people. There were no unified rules. Most of them were deposits and withdrawals/exchange receipts from acquaintances or local circulation, and were not legal currency. In the early years of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1823): Rishengchang Bank was established, and private banks began to issue standardized banknotes, focusing on cross-regional exchange. They were only circulated in Shanxi merchant trade circles and major commercial ports, and were not yet popular. In the third year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1853): the official issued the Ministry of Revenue official banknotes (official banknotes), which were forced to circulate nationwide. At the same time, the network of private banknotes expanded to the whole country, and official and private banknotes ran parallel. The use of banknotes entered an explosive period and became the "starting point of popularization." ​ High-leg tables and chairs only completely replaced the low tables for sitting on the floor in the Song Dynasty. During the Han and Tang dynasties, people knelt and sat on the tables to eat and discuss matters. The furniture was mainly low tables and couches. The memorial system was only established during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Officials in the Tang and Song Dynasties used "memorials", "tables" and "statements" when submitting memorials, while in the Ming Dynasty they used "memorials" and "memorials". There is no such thing as "memo" or "zhezi". In ancient formal occasions, the hand-over gesture was performed with the left hand outside and the right hand inside. The right hand outside was a special "unlucky gift" for funerals. "Better greetings" is a unique etiquette of the Qing Dynasty. It was mostly used by subordinates to superiors and juniors to elders. During the Tang and Song dynasties, people often performed cross-hand salutes and bows to greet greetings when they met, and there was no such thing as "sending greetings". {"NickName":"Restriction and Supervision","UserId":417773267} Before the Yuan Dynasty, subordinate officials rarely called superior officials "adult". In some dynasties, subordinates called eunuchs "adult", and in some dynasties, they called their parents and elders "adult". Beginning in the Yuan Dynasty, lower-level officials would occasionally call officials of second-rank and above "sir". From the middle and late Ming Dynasty, only officials of third-rank and above would be called "sir" by their subordinates. Officials with lower ranks could not be called "sir". However, in the late Ming Dynasty, there began to appear a few cases where officials above the fourth rank were called "adult". Before the mid-Qing Dynasty, following the rules of the Ming Dynasty, only officials of third rank or above would be called "adult". Starting from the mid-Qing Dynasty, calling officials "adult" gradually became common for lower-level officials. Attention! ! ! What is mentioned above is that lower-level officials refer to higher-level officials. No matter which dynasty, it is absolutely impossible for higher-level officials to call lower-level officials "sir". Some novels even write about emperors or nobles calling other officials "sir". This is simply contrary to Tiangang! ! ! Finally, let's talk about the problem of civilians calling officials Before the middle and late Qing Dynasty, civilians in various dynasties and generations called officials differently, and most of them called them "officials" and "masters". From the middle to late Qing Dynasty, civilians also called officials "adult".

This bastard Wanli is the worst student taught by Zhang Juzheng. Even a dog can do better than him. Zhang Juzheng has continued the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for about a hundred years. Wanli has been ruined for 80 years alone. I really can't understand the current pattern of the protagonist. Daming is like a bird and cannot be saved, let alone feeding the whole world. Where will the land come from without sending the gentry and landlords to the garbage dump of history? Do we want to leap into the industrial age with an injector? Even if we want to develop industry, we must first solve the land problem, and what can the protagonist do by himself now? Is it good for people to take tea to cool down people's political power? He has no like-minded comrades and no interest groups following him.

Add more details, the author is great

Zhang Juzheng's house was still confiscated. The protagonist has been Wanli's teacher for more than ten years, but his character as an emperor has not changed. Wanli is still the selfish, mean and unkind tyrant in history. The protagonist's political ideals and ambitions are all in vain. After his death, his family will be confiscated and his family will be exterminated. Even historical records are extremely insulting I originally thought that I could either teach Wanli to be a wise king or a benevolent king, but as a result, I taught him such a thing. Then the war between the country and the country will still happen in history in the future, and then it will be ignored and the country will be ignored. Unless the protagonist rebels, no policy can be implemented because he has no power.

When the Ming Dynasty was established in 1368, years of wars had led to desolation of the land, a sharp decline in population, and a serious lack of social productivity. Recuperation and recuperation were a must-have national policy. In 1371, Ming Taizu issued the "Sea Ban", which prohibited all Chinese ships from going to sea and severely punished private traders and ship owners. In 1374, the Baobao Promotion Department was established, and the Ming Dynasty Baobao was officially issued the following year. It was initially put on the market through financial channels such as salary and military pay, and the paper currency standard was forcibly implemented, severely cracking down on privately minted copper coins, and prohibiting the circulation of gold and silver. (Since the imperial court banned the circulation of gold and silver, then the gold and silver circulating among the people Where did it come from? It is obvious that precious metals such as gold and silver have not needed national power to give them credit value since ancient times. Through border smuggling and the trade development of the land and sea Silk Road in the past dynasties, bureaucratic capital and private tycoon families have accumulated a large amount of hard currency gold, silver and copper. Since the Song Dynasty, A large amount of precious metals in society are no longer in the hands of the court, and the newly established Ming Dynasty court has almost no gold and silver reserves. In order to maintain the operation of the country, it needs to continue to make financial expenditures. If precious metals are directly used as the national currency, it is tantamount to the country voluntarily giving up its monetary sovereignty, and the court will only have one. It is an empty shelf and exists in name only. For example, if banknotes are forced to be used as national currency without reserves, the country will still be subjugated if the country's credit is completely overdrafted) In 1381, Ming Taizu further strengthened the sea ban policy and issued the "Da Ming Huidian", which required all merchant ships to go to sea with government approval. (While prohibiting private overseas trade, the tribute trade system was used to establish maritime trade monopolized by the central royal power. Earning overseas gold and silver provided credit support for the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. Hedging bureaucratic capital and private capital used hoarded precious metals to seize the country's monetary sovereignty. All foreign trade was settled with treasure banknotes. The Ming Dynasty purchased precious wood and spices. , Foreign luxury goods, foreign trade silk, porcelain, iron pots, prices were all set by the Ming Dynasty) In 1402, Emperor Yongle ascended the throne. In addition to continuing to maintain Zhu Yuanzhang's national policy, he also sent Zheng He on seven voyages to the West from 1405 to 1433 (expanding trade routes, destroying pirates and escorting merchant ships, and monitoring private smuggling). Zhu Yuanzhang established the rules of living for the people when he founded the country, and set the tax rate at a very low level. Emperor Yongle was able to move the capital to Beijing, build the Forbidden City, build the Ming Tombs, conduct five expeditions to Mobei, conduct an expedition to Vietnam, repair the Great Wall, and dredge the North-South Grand Canal. Compiling the Yongle Canon, any of the above items would be enough for the whole court and the public (such as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), but if the Yongle Dynasty did all these things, then he must have the money to do these things, and where does this money come from? It can only be the Western trade. It is easy to earn, otherwise there is no way to explain the national finances (all the vassal states at that time accepted the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. Zheng He used such depreciating banknotes to exchange for a large amount of gold, silver and various physical objects. The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes can be printed as much as they want, and the Ming Dynasty does not need to worry Regarding the issue of inflation, Zheng He sold high and bought low. Ming historians estimate that Zheng He made seven voyages to the West and earned 720,000 taels of gold and 12.76 Million taels of silver. This is the total income. At the same time, he spent a total of 6 million taels of silver on the seven voyages. The total cost was that when Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen became emperor, there were still 2.4 Million taels of silver in the treasury) In 1435, Ming Xuanzong died at the age of 37, and Ming Yingzong, who was only 8 years old, succeeded to the throne. Amid the cry of "wasting people, hurting money, and not beneficial to the national economy", all data and information related to the maritime trade in the Western Sea and the maritime fleet were basically sealed or destroyed, causing the central finance of the Ming Dynasty to shrink significantly. Even with the support of the wealth accumulated in previous maritime trade, the national credit of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes began to gradually decline and depreciate. (From the epitaph of Guo Yan, we can learn that he was ordered to supervise the construction of 120 "Xiaban sea ships" in the eighth year of Zhengtong (1443) of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, and was appointed as the "general coordinator of the eight prefectures". Due to his good supervision, "the military and the people benefited from it". After the completion, "tens of thousands of military and civilian officials from the eight prefectures came to the mansion to express their thanks." This confirms Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was preparing to restart the national plan for the Western Ocean trade. After the ship was built, it was first put on hold due to the civil uprising, and then the Tumubao Incident occurred in 1449. In 1457, just a few months after the restoration of the Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to start the Western Ocean trade plan again. Zhang Zhao objected on the grounds of needing disaster relief. In order to provide relief to the former. Let him clean up the mess and sail to the West. By the Chenghua period in 1464, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Jianshen ordered the Ministry of War to search for archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West, but found that the relevant documents (including charts) were missing, and Liu Daxia, an official of the Ministry of War at the time, was accused of hiding or destroying them. Archives, since then the imperial court has completely lost the ability to return to the Western Ocean) In 1567, Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaijing was forced to shut down the business due to the increasing national financial deficit. Bureaucratic capital and private capital began to encroach on the maritime trade that was originally a monopoly of state-owned enterprises in the Ming Dynasty. With the massive inflow of wealth and silver, most of the tax revenue went into the hands of bureaucratic capital and private capital, except for the imperial court. The amount of silver in private circulation also increased massively, and the monetary sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty was gradually being eroded. Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaijing was an adult and knew the stakes. Silver must not be allowed to become the legal currency of the Ming Dynasty. However, this was the last step for bureaucratic capital and private capital plutocrats to steal the monetary sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty. From the death of Ming Xuanzong at the age of 37 to the ascension of Emperor Longqing to the throne, it was 1 In 31 years, it was 132 years before Emperor Longqing switched on and off. How could the century-old plan of bureaucratic capital and private capital plutocrats stop progressing and fall short? Therefore, Emperor Longqing had to die in 1572, five years after the switch, in pursuit of beauty and lust, in order to ensure that Emperor Wanli, who was only 10 years old, ascended the throne. In 1581, Zhang Juzheng promoted a whip law to abolish treasure banknotes and use silver as the national currency. As a result, the country lost its monetary sovereignty, and its economic lifeline gradually fell into the hands of bureaucratic interest groups, Jiangnan gentry and maritime merchants who controlled large amounts of gold and silver. They emptied the country's wealth and got rid of the control of the central royal power. After Zhang Juzheng's death, Emperor Wanli liquidated him on charges of "authoritarianism and chaos in government", deprived him of his title and ransacked his home. Wanli once ordered "dissection of coffins and slaughter of corpses", intending to dig graves and whip corpses to vent his anger. However, due to the strong persuasion of officials such as Chief Assistant Shen Shixing, this was not actually implemented. In the Chongzhen period, there were no eunuchs to check and balance, and Chongzhen could only borrow money from ministers to pay the army, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the collaborator selected by the capital tycoons, entered the customs in 1644 (I just want to be the wife of the county magistrate, I don't care who is the county magistrate, this is the fundamental reason why the Song and Ming Dynasties fell from the world twice). By 1662, the Southern Ming Dynasty fell, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty began a 295-year dark rule.

To be honest, the solid political ideal is really too ideal. Liaodong's plate is not stable yet and it has gone back. The cabinet will have no energy to take care of Liaodong after being in prison. Ming Dynasty may continue to rot.

It has been a long time since I put the fish pond in, so updates are slow. If it doesn't work, just cut it off.
