The purpose of the change is to make the country better, for the future of the Han people, for the future of China, and for the direction of the Ming Dynasty.

However, a great empire that has been developing for 200 to 300 years is indeed a bit difficult to recover.

The history of Chinese dynasties seems to have always had a curse, lingering and sad.

That is, most of the dynasties in China last for more than two hundred years, and rarely more than three hundred years. Then, the dynasty will change!

Since the first dynasty to unify China in the Qin Dynasty, there has been no unified dynasty, which lasted for more than three hundred years. Even if it was a combination of more than 300 years like the Song Dynasty, the changes in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty that had been experienced in the middle, and the powerful Tang Dynasty had only been 289 years.

The Ming Dynasty only passed down for 277 years in its original history, and the Qing Dynasty also lasted for more than 200 years.

-

There are basically three modes of the demise of the Chinese dynasty.

The first type can be called "institutional collapse", which means that people within the system rebelled or conflicted with each other, leading to the demise of the country. For example, the Han Yuan emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was disable, and the entire ruling system was eventually usurped by the Wang family.

The second type can be called "dead dead". The dynasty lasted for a certain period, with civil unrest and troops rushing everywhere. Although the state system itself has no fatal flaws, it ends up exhausting its military power due to long-term suppression and the country is destroyed.

Compared with the collapse of the system, the main rioters in the end of life were people outside the system. This was basically the model of the Ming Dynasty.

The third type can be called "foreign enemy invasion", which is bad luck and is destroyed. This is basically the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty.

The reason is found by Zhu Zilong's research that this may be related to the essence of China.

In essence, China's feudal era was an agricultural society and a class society. These are also two basic points of the rise and fall of dynasties:

Peasants and classes!

There are two characteristics of agricultural economy: one is dispersed and the other is fragility.

The ideal living conditions that the people yearn for are "full life for a happy year and free from death in bad years" (Mencius). If you can have good weather and weather, you can barely survive, but you will not be able to maintain your life if there is a natural disaster.

After bankruptcy, farmers lost their land and became tenant farmers. Over time, the land gradually concentrated in the hands of the landlords. This is an inevitable situation in feudal society:

Land annexation!

You can also regard him as an alternative person who got rich first, and never thought of leading others to become rich together. Instead, he tried his best to exploit the common people, and the officials forced the people to rebel. In addition, the technology was underdeveloped and the system was unreasonable.

When no one cheated, the ancients could only rely on the peasant uprising.

After the impact and baptism of peasant uprisings, the regime was replaced, the land was redistributed, social contradictions were alleviated, and the next cycle was entered.

A vicious cycle of nakedness!

-

Of course, the Ming Dynasty still had its original advantages.

Both Han Dynasty perished in 200 years, and the Jin and Sui Dynasty were in a state of intense change and were overdue in decades. The Song Dynasty was killed by foreign enemies, which was extremely rare in unified dynasties in Chinese history.

The Ming Dynasty had obviously solved the institutional problems of the Tang Dynasty and did a good job in national defense, but the luck was too bad. When it came to a small ice age, famines and chaos in the city, it was only when people died early.

If it weren't for the Little Ice Age, even if Zhu Zilong had not traveled through time, the lifespan of the Ming Dynasty exceeded that of the Tang Dynasty, which would be no problem.

And why could the Qing Dynasty last for so long?

To put it bluntly, it’s just a pale face!

In the late Ming Dynasty, potatoes and corn had already begun to be planted in China. By the Qing Dynasty, these two crops happened to greatly increase the population limit that the land could bear.

If there was no Little Ice Age, it would be a problem for the Ming Dynasty to last for another one or two hundred years. Maybe it would directly push China into the capitalist era.

Zhu Zilong now will naturally not let history repeat itself!

-

Until now, people have been conservative, and the more they fall behind, the more they are. The reason for conservatism is interests, and the other is fear, fear of new things.

In essence, it is fear, fear that the existing benefits will be gone.

It’s like a person who has saved some money, who is afraid of losing money in business and not looking for a job. As a result, he lives by the bank’s interest rate. Once he gets sick, he will immediately become poor and his family will be destroyed.

Zhu Zilong was not in a hurry to be prepared for this. Come on little by little, the first step is to change this thing.

The new China in later generations did not succeed in becoming a great country in one day or two.

After struggling for nearly a hundred years, aren’t you still calling a great rejuvenation every day?

At this stage, the Ming Dynasty had the strongest desire for change, and it was probably only a few coastal provinces. After all, they enjoyed the benefits of opening kelp first.

Moreover, these provinces are also under the control of Zhu Zilong.

What Zhu Zilong needs to do now is to first create a system suitable for the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it will also allow people from the mainland to see the changes in the Ming people in the coastal provinces.

Only when Chi XX can see the interests and get them. When they are far better than conservative, everyone will slowly be moved, and then they will not have too much disgust towards Zhu Zilong's next policies.

This is true for people. When they cannot see benefits, it is difficult to make proactive changes.

The melon is not sweet, Zhu Zilong can't force them to go out with a gun, see the world, right?

The Ming Dynasty was about to last forever, and the traditional agricultural civilization was no longer suitable for it.

We must be strong in science, change our mindset, learn, be a robber, kill people, grab money, grab food, and grab women. When we don’t count, we will do business with outsiders.

When snatching and doing business calculations, you need to change at any time. Don’t think of any civilized etiquette in ancient countries, that’s useless.

It is urgent to plunder external resources and seize the market!

-

Under this change, a month or two later, the Royal New Oriental Excavator Fleet, which had returned from the New World, returned with the Zhu Family Army branch.

The process of returning was full of difficulties that outsiders could not know.

But, there is one thing you know.

It is said that everyone in this fleet has made a fortune.

Therefore, when the fleet arrived at the Tianjin coastline pier, there were already royal people, officials, and people watching here.

Everyone on every boat was as crazy as they were screaming and shouting. They showed off to the people below, with their hands full of gold ore and jewelry!

The people below looked at this scene from afar, and their eyes were red.

The merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty on the dock were already ready. They all prepared a large number of manpower, cars, and money to buy other goods on the ship. After all, it was impossible for them to transport only gold ore.

I heard that when I came back along the way, I passed by some of the A Sanguo, spices, jades, and ivory. These things were also brought back, which were their necessary goods.

The left-behind Ming soldiers and the soldiers of the Zhu family nervously pulled a cordon on the dock to prevent accidents.
