It's pretty good. At least it doesn't have a system. To put it bluntly, the initial goal was just to keep the whole family alive, and later the idea was to reform the Ming Dynasty. The only drawback is whether the author can update 10 chapters a day. I like this kind of feeling.
The protagonist of this novel has strong moral principles, isn't a saint, and is decisive in his actions against foreign races, especially those that once invaded and massacred the Han Chinese. This is the only novel I've seen where a modern man transmigrates to ancient times and the male protagonist is devoted to one woman for life, without multiple wives and concubines.
A very good novel! It fills in the gaps in history! Zhu Yuanzhang saved China; he shouldn't have suffered such a tragic end! I hope the author can also write a book about the Qin Dynasty! The First Emperor shouldn't have lived a life of loneliness! The unification of the Han people began in Qin and ended in Ming! Qin Shi Huang and Ming Taizu were the most tragic figures!
It's really good. I feel like they should be this vibrant, making up for the regrets in history. Empress Ma died peacefully in her old age, Zhu Yuanzhang had a wife, children, grandchildren, and old friends in his later years, Zhu Biao, the most regrettable crown prince in history, finally ascended the throne, Zhu Xiong Ying didn't die young and became a wise and brave successor, and Zhu Di and…
Excellent, unlike other books that are all talk and no action, or have an invincible system. The protagonist's identity is transparent at the beginning, and he acts with purpose and human nature, but I skipped through the later chapters 🤦 There was some fun, but not much, and it basically became an invincible storyline 🤦 It unifies taxation and land use; well written.
The journey to sea is too fast; it will take at least 2-3 years to return. How fast can a sailboat go? Collecting these items requires a trip to South America, with storms and headwinds along the way—it's all too fast. Road construction is also happening too quickly. The rest is alright; overall, it's readable. Brothers looking for something to read can check this out.
@Li Zhen, the author who likes big tree tea, it seems like the money given by the royal family is a vicious cycle, and they'll get poorer and poorer in the future. Did you mention that? 🤔
It's a great read. The author has incredibly positive values, rewriting the history of the Ming Dynasty and making it super powerful. They also wiped out the lesser rulers, which made me very happy. Also, I've read many stories where the male protagonist travels to ancient times, with various dynasties and character settings, but the male protagonist in this book is the only one I've read who doesn't have a harem.
The content of this book is quite good. The only drawback is the protagonist's past life (a food delivery guy who knows a lot, is knowledgeable about all walks of life, including scholars, farmers, artisans, merchants, and doctors, has an excellent memory of history, and is also well-versed in imperial power politics).
This is a very enjoyable historical novel. You shouldn't read this kind of book with your brain too much; trying to read it with your brain and taking it too seriously is just being irresponsible. I've been reading novels for fifteen years, but due to the influence of fast-paced culture, I've found it increasingly difficult to finish books these days. I often stop reading halfway through.
