    I recommend "The Late Han Dynasty: The Yellow Turbans Are Coming, and I'm Still Hunting Wild Boars," a slow-burning, realistic time-travel novel set in the late Han Dynasty. The protagonist travels back to the third year of the Zhongping era, burdened with a system shop mission: to conquer five counties within three years and unlock the complete set of Qin and Han Dynasty technology and weaponry. Instead of immediately rushing to Luoyang to curry favor and buy official positions, he first retreats to the Luoxiao Mountains, sheltering hundreds of war orphans and building a complete settlement with teachers of literature and martial arts, horsemanship and archery training, and artisans and scholars, steadily accumulating strength. After emerging from the mountains, he first travels to Jingzhou and Xiangyang, impressing Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, and Sima Hui with his music and strategic discussions, and befriending the intelligent and resourceful Huang Yueying. He then publicly debates at the Yingchuan County Academy, breaking down the prejudice of "frivolous scholars" with his practical policies for pacifying the people. Through Xi Zhicai's introduction, he discusses philosophy with Xun Yu, going from being questioned to gaining complete recognition as a potential advisor to a king, and finally obtaining entry into the Luoyang scholarly community. The text contains little mindless violence and focuses on people's livelihood, social interactions among scholars, and long-term planning. It examines the atmosphere of famous scholars in the late Han Dynasty, the system of selling official positions, and the logic of county governance. Readers who prefer farming and development, political intrigue, and the gradual accumulation of knowledge in Three Kingdoms literature should definitely read it.

    "What should we do with the million people in Luoyang right now?" "If we relocate them all, the army's movement will be slowed, and Dong Zhuo will surely take advantage of this!" "If we abandon them all, we will lose the people's hearts and our foundation will be shaken!" "Gongtai, I cannot bear to do this. What foolproof plan do you have?" Jia Xu stood silently in the shadows of the stone chamber, blending into the darkness. His voice was calm, yet as cold as the depths of winter: "General, if you wish to achieve hegemony, you must resort to extraordinary measures." "The people are like water; they can carry a boat, but they can also capsize it." "Now that the flood is raging, we must first protect our foothold!" "The people of Luoyang... In today's situation, are a burden!" Wang Mang remained silent, waiting for further explanation. "Xu, I have a plan!" Jia Xu raised his eyes, his gaze icy. "This strategy is called: 'Divide and conquer, confuse and abandon, and shift the blame to others!'" "Speak!" "First, divide!" Jia Xu spoke slowly and clearly: "The artisans, doctors, and families of key officials in the city, as well as the families of our soldiers, are the foundation of our army and must accompany us!" "If anyone disobeys, bind them and take them away!" "Second, confuse!" Jia Xu continued. "Announce to the outside world that the Emperor is only temporarily avoiding military action and will soon return to the capital. Also, declare that General Yuan Shao will lead troops to defend Luoyang to appease the people!" "On the eve of departure, open the official granaries wide, releasing all the grain and fodder, creating chaos as everyone scrambles for it." "Our main force can then take advantage of this chaos to quietly withdraw!" "Thirdly, abandon!" Jia Xu's voice deepened: "As for those who are mostly unable to be taken, we can only... Abandon them!" "Women, children, the elderly, and the weak will only slow down the army's advance, leading us to our doom!" The stone chamber was deathly silent, the oil lamp crackling. "Fourthly, marry them off!" Jia Xu's voice lowered further, becoming even clearer: "After reaching Chang'an, if Luoyang suffers a calamity, the blame will fall on Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao!" "The General only needs to denounce the traitors' atrocities to gain the sympathy of the people!"
