   From an ordinary worker to a street vendor, earning money step by step, to eventually buying an island and establishing a nation... The beginning is slow-paced, without mindless face-slapping moments, featuring appropriate advanced technology, and the plot is logical and not idiotic. It features two female leads. Perhaps because of the slow pace, many people lacked the patience to watch the later parts, resulting in a lower rating. It's suitable for careful reading and satisfies men's dreams of a powerful nation.

    This book, set in the late Kangxi era, has a slightly lower rating, but the content is still quite good. The protagonist starts by learning from the rabbit's method of fighting the local tyrants and distributing land, then heads south to the Dabie Mountains, conquers Jingchu to establish a base, and gradually develops and reforms through farming. The plot might be a little slow, but that's the protagonist's job; he's laying the groundwork for development and reform, which also serves as an introduction. Because of the early groundwork, the unification of the country will be accelerated later, and the story will also enter a great age of maritime exploration. It's about 2 million words long. Overall, it's a good book; not a superb one, but I'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10.
