In 1627, during the Ming Dynasty, pig iron cost 9 wen per jin, wheat cost 0.7 liang per shi, and millet cost 0.5 liang per shi. In 1627, the central government's tax revenue was approximately 10 million taels of silver plus 4 million shi of grain. Local revenues, including corvée labor tax, militia tax, village head tax, and post station tax, amounted to approximately 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver per county. In 1627, the population of the Ming Dynasty was approximately 150 to 200 million, far from the 400 million of the Qing Dynasty. Large tracts of land in Beizhili, Henan, and Shandong were left uncultivated, while Huguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan were far from reaching their development limits. In 1627, after three consecutive years of favorable weather, Shaanxi finally experienced a slight drought. Overall, the south was slightly flooded, while the north was slightly drought-stricken; large-scale natural disasters had not yet begun. In 1627, just one year after the ascension of the Later Jin Taiji to the throne, he alleviated the famine in his homeland by attacking Korea. However, this also made the Fourth Prince Amin, who was in charge of the invasion of Korea, too powerful to be controlled, and the situation of the four princes jointly ruling seemed unbreakable. So, what exactly caused such a perfect start to lead to utter collapse? So, how difficult would it be for a time traveler to turn the tide when they arrive at this point in time? Is it really true, as many people say, that the Ming Dynasty in 1627 was already on the verge of collapse and beyond saving? —If you also have questions, why not join this large-scale historical simulation game that is entirely based on real historical materials? To date, this paper references 531 academic papers, 7,188 Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) after the eighth year of the Wanli reign, and 4,657 Juren (successful candidates in the provincial imperial examinations) whose biographies can be found.

Qi Jiguang's army took its first step towards becoming a modern army, and foot-operated silk reeling machines produced silk day and night in the southeast. The country was powerful and prosperous. This was also the worst of times. The garrison system was collapsing due to corruption, land annexation was rampant, and the cabinet was embroiled in endless power struggles. It was declining and nearing its end.

An ordinary person transmigrates to this world and becomes the emperor. Will history be changed? The budding of capitalism, the Eastern and Western Depots and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the treacherous eunuchs who bring disaster to the country, the arrogant little princess, and the strange emperor who loves carpentry—all this is in "I Am the Carpenter Emperor"!
