The Ming Dynasty did not revolutionize

Since the Age of Exploration, no matter how much gold and silver Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Britain have robbed all over the world,

they will eventually be sent to the Ming Dynasty and exchanged for calcined soil, fried shrub leaves, and filaments spit out by insects.

The peasants and soldiers of Europe create wealth for their kings and lords, and their kings and lords send all the wealth to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty has never interfered in the affairs of Europe and the New World in the past, and it has earned the gold and silver wealth robbed by Europeans in the Americas by lying at home.

Now, all this is finally coming to an end.

It is not that the Europeans abandoned the luxury goods of the Ming Dynasty, nor that the Europeans learned the manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not that the Europeans united to conquer and occupy the Ming Dynasty in Shenzhou.

It is that the people of the Ming Dynasty finally couldn't help but come out to rob money themselves!
