In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, raw iron costs 9 wen per jin, wheat costs 0.7 liang per dan, and millet costs 0.5 liang per dan.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, central government revenue is approximately 10 million liang of silver plus 4 million dan of tribute grain. Local revenues including junyao silver, minzhuang silver, lijia silver, and post station silver amount to about 10,000 to 20,000 liang per county.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, the population is roughly 150 to 200 million, far from the Qing Dynasty's 400 million. Large tracts of land lie fallow in North Zhili, Henan, and Shandong, while Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are far from being developed to their limits.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, after three consecutive years of favorable weather in Shaanxi, a slight drought begins this year. Overall, the south experiences slight flooding, while the north has slight drought, though large-scale natural disasters have not yet begun.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji of the Later Jin has just ascended the throne for one year. He alleviated domestic famine by attacking Korea, but this also made General Amin, who led the expedition to Korea, too powerful to control. The co-governance system of the Four Beile still seems unbreakable.

So, why does such a promising situation gradually spiral toward catastrophic collapse?

So, when a time traveler arrives at this juncture, how difficult is it truly to turn the tide? Is it really as many claim—that by 1627, the Ming Dynasty's fate is already sealed beyond redemption?

If you share these questions, join this grand historical simulation scenario, entirely based on real historical materials.

To date, this work references 531 academic papers and the lives of 7,188 Jinshi (advanced scholars) after the eighth year of the Wanli era, as well as 4,657 Juren (provincial graduates) whose biographies can be traced.

Su Shiqi, in order to attend Ziyun Academy to study painting, agrees to her father's outrageous request!!

"You snatched someone else's wife when you were young, and now you're selling out your daughter, making me marry that man's comatose son?"

"You will marry whether you want to or not!"

Su Shiqi and her father, Su Shunan, argue fiercely.

Finally, Su Shunan produces the Ziyun Academy letter of admission.

Su Shiqi says through gritted teeth: "Marrying him isn't completely impossible. What if he kicks the bucket someday, right?"

Unfortunately, her comatose husband not only doesn't kick the bucket, but is also alarmingly robust.

He exhausts her every night until midnight before letting her go.

Finally, she can't take it anymore: "Lu Jingsi, if you keep this up, you'll have no wife left!"

Lu Jingsi buries his face in her neck and says in a hoarse voice: "Wife, I've been holding back for two years, how can you be so heartless..."

Another attempt at refutation ends in failure.

"Young Master, the Young Madam has run away again."

"Which way did she take this time?" Lu Jingsi's lips curve into a faint smile, seemingly unconcerned.

"Uh..."

"Hmm?"

"...the dog hole."
