I’ve read several books about the Ming Dynasty. Overall, they had excellent prose, deep historical knowledge, and well-crafted characters. But a few seem to share the same flaws: too much exposition and overly contrived schemes. Any good recommendations?

These are the prices of goods traded between Western countries and China during the Yongle reign: iron 3.75 Wen per jin, pepper 37.5 Wen per jin, ebony 6.25 Wen per jin, and ivory 6.25 Wen per jin. These are the prices of goods sold by the Ming Dynasty to the West during the Yongle reign: a blue-and-white porcelain plate 6250 wen, a blue-and-white porcelain bowl 3750 wen, musk 18750 wen per jin…
The protagonist of this book truly belongs to the shrewd and calculating type who strategizes for governing the country. Every move he makes lays the groundwork for future actions and plans, achieving his political goals step by step. Of all the time-travel novels set in the Ming Dynasty, this protagonist's style is my favorite.
Let's take a look. The imperial family of the Ming Dynasty had a very miserable life in the middle and later period. Except for some princes who lived a little better, the rest were almost like beggars. Some princes had millions of acres of land on the surface, but they could not interfere in the management of these lands.
There are so few of them, it's definitely a good book.
The author has written a good and realistic version of "The Ming Dynasty" so far, but there isn't enough focus on the famous generals. It's not fair to assume that training a new army automatically makes one superior to historical figures. Perhaps the author should wait until the protagonist ascends the throne and expands the territory before writing about them.
Chapters 45 to 50 are very well written and have a strong local flavor.
The writing is practical and detailed, but some details could be improved. Since you're just reading a novel, you can skip over those! Overall, it's very engaging. The later expansion into overseas regions should also be explored simultaneously, not just glossed over. The overseas expansion in *Zhao Gouzi's Struggle* is excellent and worth referencing! I hope the author can achieve even greater success!! 👍👍👍👍👍
I really like this style of novel. The reforms are implemented step by step, without any assumptions. The imagery is rich. The only drawback is that Ming Dynasty officials' salaries were too low, and they still had to support their entourage and families. Without extra income, it's impossible not to be corrupt. I suggest a three-fold salary increase. A county magistrate's annual salary was only 45 taels x 3, so 135 taels should be enough for a county magistrate to live a comfortable life.
The handwriting is very beautiful.
It's well-written. The author's understanding of the Ming Dynasty is significantly better than others; at least they didn't spout historically ignorant statements.
