Daming: Time Traveled and Became a Poor Scholar

Era: middle and late Jiajing period. ** **Core: Started as a scholar in southern Zhili or along the coast of Zhejiang, established himself in industry and commerce, pioneered the way with military exploits, and finally became the leader of the central government, pacifying the Japanese in the south, rejecting the barbarians in the north, establishing sea bans, colonizing the world, and recreating a Ming Dynasty driven by technology and commerce. Why write about the Jiajing Dynasty? Because it is simply a perfect stage tailor-made for web articles: 1. **The emperor is "faint"**: Emperor Jiajing is obsessed with Taoism and has not been in court for more than 20 years, giving the protagonist a huge room for maneuver. 2. **Powerful ministers are in power**: Yan Song and his son are in power, and corruption is rampant. This sets you up for a natural, perfect villain from start to finish. 3. **Internal and external troubles**: "Southern Japanese and northern captives" are two sharp swords hanging above the head. Japanese pirates were raging in the south, and the people along the coast were in dire straits; Ananda Khan in the north often knocked on the pass and threatened the capital. This gives the protagonist an excellent opportunity to establish military merit and gain military power. 4. **Capital Germination**: This is the most critical point. The commodity economy developed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which was the best time for the protagonist to use modern knowledge to invent, open factories, build chambers of commerce, and play finance.
