Curator note

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.

In the 48th year of the Wanli Emperor's reign, the Ming Dynasty had lasted for 252 years. The 252-year mark represents not only the empire's lifespan but also the duration of systemic land annexation. Emperor Shenzong began with the "Down with Zhang and Feng," continued with the "Three Great Struggles," and ended with the "Seditious Books and Clubbing," single-handedly creating the situation of two opposing factions at the end of the Ming Dynasty. After consolidating power in his own hands, he neglected his duties for more than thirty years. Under Emperor Shenzong's influence, the bureaucratic system and governance structure, which had remained virtually unchanged for over two hundred years, entered the final stage of complete decay. Class antagonism, conflict between officials and the people, and the Jurchen invasion. Beset by internal and external troubles, the empire finally reached the brink of destruction. On July 21, Zhu Yijun passed away, and Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, adopting the reign title Taichang. On August 10, Emperor Taichang visited several people in succession, and his holy countenance suddenly diminished.

But on August 11, a Qing Dynasty history researcher with the same name as Emperor Guangzong of Ming was transported into the body of an emperor who suffered from kidney deficiency due to excessive indulgence! How will he save the Ming Dynasty from its crisis? Is it a matter of taking easy measures, suppressing the people, and allowing the dynasty to prolong its existence? The solution is to strike at the middle ground and push back the process of land annexation by the old aristocracy. Or is it more difficult to break down the entire system and reshape a new world? The road is difficult, with many forks in the road. However, in order to enable Chinese civilization to forge its own path amidst dramatic global changes, Zhu Changluo had no choice but to take the difficult path. How should he begin? Zhu Changluo decided to first reorganize the inner court and build a loyal and efficient direct force.
