The Iron-Fisted Chief Assistant: from Modern Social Beast to the Powerful Ming Dynasty

Brothers, you must know that power is not cabbage. Power will not fall from the sky without fierce competition, astonishing skills and scheming. Don't blame cause and effect, because in the future, Zhang Juzheng will become the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. It is simply unreasonable to ask him as the richest man in the Ming Dynasty when he has not yet become the chief minister.

Zhang Juzheng was a politician who innovated the old system and extended the life of the Ming Dynasty. He wrote less about intrigues and palace battles, and more about reforming the bureaucracy, tax structure, and fiscal system, enriching the country and strengthening the army to eliminate barbarians, rectifying and clearing up the collusion between officials and businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to embezzle state assets, developing modern education to promote industrialization, and starting a voyage to colonize the world. Writing about Zhang Juzheng's intrigues and palace battles, can't you tell the difference between the big and small kings?

Reform is a top-down revolution carried out when internal coordination becomes irreconcilable. It is the work of a group of people, not just one person. There was no need to think about capitalism during the Wanli period, because there was no such soil. At most, it was to protect the slow development of capitalism in its infancy, but the social environment at that time was not suitable. The most important thing about capitalism is technological progress, not in one aspect, but in all industries, and it is a substantial progress. Only through large-scale industrialization can we fight against the landlord class and plunder land, population and other resources from the landlord class. But the Ming Dynasty was a feudal society, which would inevitably shake its foundation and cause it to fall apart. Therefore, it wanted to control business, technological development, and literacy rates. If it were really a reform, the ultimate goal should be the feudal dynasty during the Qianlong period, where the emperor had sole power and all ethnic groups were controlled by the emperor. It might take a hundred years for them to reach their peak and then fall to pieces. According to China's soil, the most suitable era for the development of capitalism was the Song Dynasty, followed by modern times. Hyundai must break the state-owned monopoly, especially in basic electric power and energy, etc., But it is absolutely impossible. The Song Dynasty became the only choice for the development of capitalism, because feudal ethics had not yet reached its peak, technology was developing rapidly, population mobility was large (all were refugees), and there was an external market for dumping

The Ming Dynasty established a constitutional monarchy early and ushered in the Age of Discovery!

If we want to overthrow the monopoly power of the government and gentry, we must bring in the powerful small businessmen of the lower class gentry to fight against it, and recruit a group of conscientious scholars to serve as mouthpieces, and a group of powerful people to lead merchants in maritime trade. Only if you have your own base and mouthpiece will it work.

What does the author think? If he travels back to ancient times to be a powerful minister or a powerful minister in the Ming Dynasty, let's take a look at the fate of those powerful ministers in the Ming Dynasty.
