Zhang Yunxiu was in a hurry to travel back in time to become Zhang Juzheng's youngest son.

A year later, his adoptive father passed away, leaving his family devastated; two years later, the Thirteenth Prince, wielding only a boarhide armor, rose in rebellion, embarking on his path to usurp the throne; seven years later, England defeated the invincible Armored Fleet, beginning a bloody primitive accumulation of wealth.

Fierce factional strife, land annexation, border corruption, and the silver crisis are like a sword hanging over our heads.

...

However, four hundred years later, when people opened the historical records, they were surprised to find that history had inexplicably taken a different turn in the ninth year of the Wanli reign.

In that year, the first comprehensive newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Xinbao, was launched, deconstructing Yangming's philosophy of mind and setting off a groundbreaking intellectual revolution.

In that year, modern medical theory was proposed for the first time, and the plague problem that had plagued people for thousands of years was contained for the first time.

That year, the gentry experienced for the first time what the iron fist of macroeconomics truly meant.

From this year onward, the already precarious Wanli New Deal unexpectedly triggered a major upheaval unprecedented in a century! Inventions and discoveries of all kinds, such as the steam engine, sweet potato, and flintlock musket, emerged one after another!

From that year onward, the headstrong Wanli Emperor became obsessed with artistic creation, and Zhang Juzheng, who had been struggling to support the crumbling Ming Dynasty, suddenly realized that his support had become somewhat weak.

Once regarded as a rebellious and absurd son, he actually managed to hold up half of the Ming Dynasty!
