I just came back from a business trip and read the book reviews written by my brother, and I was very moved. I had the urge to invite my brother out for a drink, and look for an illusory reality in my drunken eyes.

"Ming" is my second essay, and it is also a work that I have never been very satisfied with. The drunkard thinks he is not very capable of writing a long piece, but he can't help but write it into a long piece. As the plot unfolds, the ink in the drunkard's belly is getting more and more difficult. Therefore, now, each chapter has become a "bone frame", with only a rough outline, but no details are portrayed. If the details are unfolded one by one, I'm afraid "Ming" will be longer, which is even more difficult for the drunkard to do.

This is not an excuse or shirk. If the drunkard has the time, ability and courage to be a professional writer, you may see another work. However, at present, the drunkard is still an engineer who works hard all day long for his livelihood. Although the profession of engineer is hard, it is generally required to tell the truth and there is no danger of causing trouble by telling the truth. Therefore, the drunkard is happy at work.

Unfortunately, when I read my works, I feel ashamed of my love for readers.

When writing "Qin", the drunkard had the most time. It took two full years to finish the "Qin" which was less than 30,000 words. When writing "Ming", it only took half a year to 200,000 words. The drunkard himself thought that he should stop and modify the previous part.

However, if you can trigger this kind of thinking from the man, the drunkard should still smile secretly. Regardless of whether you agree with the views in the text or not, as long as you think about it, the drunkard's purpose has been achieved.

The ending of this book is difficult to write into a comedy, which may disappoint most readers. The reason is just as you think, "Even if you successfully raise the team to carry out the revolution, who will win? Are the people in the world? Or the Wu Dynasty? Even if Wu'anguo's original intention remains unchanged, what about his generals? What about his soldiers? After a general succeeds, he will have such a high awareness. He does not want to be a founding hero who glorifies his ancestors, but would rather call him "citizens" with the ant people who kneel at their feet?"

If Wu'an Kingdom did not become the emperor in the future, he would definitely lose almost all his supporters in that era. The reason is very simple. If he did not become the emperor, he would block others' path to becoming prime minister and marshal. Without hope, no one would live and die with him. Except for the first few brothers of life and death, there might be no more followers around him in the end. If Wu'an Kingdom became the emperor, the ending would be even more ridiculous. He would find that every word he said had become an imperial edict, and when he used his power to promote social change, he had overturned his ideal of equality.

Therefore, the drunkard writes very hard and has a dilemma.

The only thing that can be thankful is that no matter what the result is, capital has begun to sprout in the time and space of the drunkards' fiction, and large-scale industries have been born. Therefore, drunkards have to take the risk of "stealing" the leads of the industrial revolution, hydraulic spinning, and loom from the West. As long as Wu'an State has the ability to live until the day when everyone cannot leave these "small tricks of carving" are inseparable, his "catalyst" mission has been completed. As for the influence of Zhu Di, I think you misunderstood the development direction of this book, or believe in the power of morality too much. The emperor did not abdicate by inspiration, but would choose to be "enlightened" when he saw that he did not give up some power and would lose everything he had, so he would choose to be "enlightened". The social foundation has changed, and the rulers must adapt to this foundation, otherwise they will be overthrown. The Stuart dynasty can be restored, but the system is the system after the bourgeois revolution, and the royal family has always lost all the privileges of the past. However, the power of the people gradually increases.

The drunkard believes that the establishment of democracy is not based on the "good" and "evil" nature, and he does not agree with my brother's opinion. The drunkard has always disagrees with the standards of "good" and "evil". Because he studies engineering, he prefers to analyze the problems with "feasibility" and "reliability". The superiority of Western-style democracy is not its moral nobleness, but it is the most suitable for capitalist social management at present. It may not be the most advanced, but it is the most reliable and the least risky one at present.

Similarly, why has Confucianism been dominant for thousands of years in China? Because Confucianism is the most suitable management idea for agricultural society. Drunk workers are not born to hate Confucianism, but after industrial society, Confucianism must withdraw from history, or change its essence and adapt to society. Just as Drunk workers wrote in the book, a "retro movement". In fact, the modern enlightenment and Renaissance in the West are not so much a new idea that borrows the shell of ancient Greece. Christianity after the Reformation and Christianity before the Reformation are completely two directions. There are barriers between Confucianism and democratic thought, as I thought, there are barriers in the East and the West. Instead, there are differences in time formation. Therefore, Confucianism is either completely abandoned or cut off branches for thousands of years to fundamentally let it grow new buds. At this stage, it is difficult to see the third choice.

Only after capital is born, democracy will be born. Whether it is equality or social contract, if you look at it simply, it is all business laws. Only when trading frequently will equality be frequently proposed, because without a fair trading procedure that everyone abides, trading cannot continue. With too many transactions, power and obligations become transactions between individuals and society. If you fulfill your obligations, you can demand power. Otherwise, the enthusiasm for fulfilling your obligations will disappear. The establishment of a country where everyone is equal must first be that the people have the requirement of equality. No matter what era, if the people do not have this requirement, or they always consciously maintain the inequality system, hoping that one day they can climb up to be an "elite", equality will never be realized.

Therefore, the drunkard wishfully chose to go to the wilderness that the court did not care about, so that the commodity economy would slowly poke its head out of Shifeng. When the social component changed from peasants to industrial and commercial classes, can you imagine that an emperor had the power to retreat? Can you imagine that they could tolerate the government to destroy their wealth at will? And, when guns become emerging proprietors can easily be created, will the shrewd Zhu father and son dare to attack them? Even if they start, can the emerging army obey orders? At that time, it is hard to say which side is holding a fire stick. In the drunkard's conception, the most powerful weapon is definitely not a gun!

My view of the digital management mentioned by Brother Taiwan is that officials are far from digital management in the country, but at least they have a quantitative thinking when considering problems. When new production methods develop, there will be a need for quantitative management. With this demand, officials have to adapt. Learning mathematics is just to lay a foundation for the future.

Regarding invasion, in Chapter 16, you can already see that external expansion is equivalent to a deal between Wu'anguo and Zhu Yuanzhang. Or the common interests and needs of the emerging classes in Peking and the imperial court. Therefore, the contradictions hidden below are not questioned in the face of the common goal. Once the common goal is completed or lost, the contradictions will appear. The drunkard has always believed that political struggle is a kind of "underwater operation", with the water calm and countless vortexes under the water. Therefore, the political struggle in this book does not have such a fierce conflict. As long as it reaches that point, it will be natural.

The end of the chapter will remind people of the beginning only when it ends. In fact, in many places in the previous article, Zhu Yuanzhang has begun to prepare for the future. In front of the scheming emperor, whether it is Guo Pu, Wu Anguo or Cao Zhen, they are all yellow-mouthed children. I cannot reveal too many subsequent plots, but in the first round, Wu Anguo will definitely lose, lose unexpectedly, and have nothing to say. As the same thing, don’t judge things from a moral point of view, that’s too simple and too arbitrary. Without justice, the winning party is always an angel, because he can describe the other party as a devil at will.

Finally, I would like to defend my bug. The annual income in the early Ming Dynasty should be about four million taels, not four hundred thousand.

"The people pay taxes to you, which means buying your protection. The people in power collect taxes, which is equivalent to accepting a contract to protect the interests of the people. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the interests of the people are not violated by foreign enemies and bad officials, otherwise it will be a breach of contract." When talking about social contracts with feudal bureaucrats, will anyone really listen to him seriously?

If you say this to the people, will the people understand that they are not born with only obligations and no power, and will they fight for their own power? If the people hold the lifeblood of the country and say that they are returning power, will the feudal bureaucrats dare not listen carefully?

Once capital begins to grow, it will fight for its own survival. This process is irreversible, and this process not only runs through the books of the drunkard, but also runs through the history of human development.

History does not need to carry too many functions. Without right and wrong, good and evil, faithfully recording what happened is the trustworthy history.
