Curator note

In the late Ming Dynasty, Spain and Japan gradually restricted the outflow of silver, reversing the capital inflow that had been flowing into the Ming Dynasty since the early 16th century. The coexisting commodity economy and small-scale peasant economy of the Ming Dynasty simultaneously suffered from deflation. Coupled with the effects of the Little Ice Age, one domino after another fell in this chaotic era. In November of the sixth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, bandits crossed the Yangtze River from Mianchi, their forces erupting like a festering sore, sweeping across the Central Plains. In the seventh year of Chongzhen's reign, the Later Jin army, which had ravaged the north for over a decade, swept through Xuanfu and Datong as if they were nothing. The Ming Dynasty, which had stood for nearly three hundred years, was teetering on the brink of collapse. The protagonist arrives at this time, becoming a lowly constable in Tongcheng County, Southern Zhili. The story begins with a dead rat leaping into the air.

In 1627, the Ming central government collected roughly 10 million taels of silver and 4 million shi of grain tax. Local revenues from corvee levies, militia levies, community levies, and relay-station levies amounted to around 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver per county.

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.

Time travel might offer ambitious individuals or those filled with regret a chance to change their lives and become involved in the grand undertaking of "reviving a fallen kingdom and continuing an interrupted lineage." Time travel also means that while you can consult your wives for domestic matters, you lose the convenience of consulting "Baidu" for external matters, the "Marlboro" and "Hongtashan" cigarettes you always have on your lips, the "Wuliangye" and "Remy Martin" liquors you drink, the "Zippo" cigarettes that are both a lifesaver and a cool accessory, and even the "Taitai Le," "Maggi," or "Lee Kum Kee" liquors you want to eat... Only after the iron curtain, stretching across the torrent of time and space, falls will the time travelers realize how much they miss that world and how much they should cherish it. The protagonist, Ye Tao, is just one of the many time travelers. As an industrial designer, someone whose very being is steeped in quality of life and design philosophy, he has no choice but to lay out his blueprints and build everything he can think of, one by one... Adding a few extra touches along the way.
