Especially the history from the germination of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty to the Opium War.

The study of politics can refer to the history of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

If you want to study how the ancients governed the world, you should look at the history of the early Han Dynasty. Want to know how to gain a foothold in troubled times, of course, depends on the history of the Three Kingdoms period.

Each dynasty has its own political and economic situation worth knowing, and these dynasties are only typical.

Just choose the two dynasties you want to see most with a purpose.

The above is just my opinion, but I think history is a line. Before choosing a dynasty, it is best to grasp the history as a whole. For the purpose of looking at history, I suggest you read Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Strategies at the same time, so as to truly apply what you have learned and achieve mastery!

There is also the book you want to read, which must be written by a regular person and more realistic. At the same time, don't just write about historical events, it's better to write event books, so that people can learn from history and make the past serve the present!

I sincerely hope that my answer can help you!
