The Han Crown

With the complete withdrawal of all three chapters, prices soared. Firstly, before the Song Dynasty, gold and silver were not normal circulating currencies but merely precious metals. Because China did not produce silver and its mining technology was underdeveloped, copper was generally used as currency.

For the protagonist of a book like this to succeed in his conquest, he must first completely crush the Hu people's power in the war. After all, the population of the two sides in that era was already close. Having experienced the Three Kingdoms period, if he didn't fight the Hu people first, he would be like Li Zicheng. In particular, the Xiongnu in Hanoi were a major threat.

The idea that a poor family could rise to prominence at the end of the Jin Dynasty is basically wishful thinking.

The Sima family bears 90% of the responsibility for the Five Barbarian Invasions. Although the Cao family seized power, they brutally defeated the barbarian tribes beyond the Great Wall. What we despise most are families that, after seizing power, lead China into decline.

I just started reading, and the beginning wasn't too good. His father had just died, and in order to promote his wine, he went straight to a brothel. Regardless of his motives, in ancient times this would be considered unfilial, especially since his character was supposed to be a scholar. He initially used filial piety as his starting point, but after only a few days, he was visiting brothels and writing love poems.

The more it was written, the less flavorful it became; I couldn't see a trace of the Wei-Jin style. Marxism-Leninism was good, though, but what I wanted to see in this book was the Wei-Jin style.

You need a system, or you're doomed. Poor people thinking they can turn the world upside down? How naive!

I just read chapter 34. The earlier chapters were mostly fine, but the manor in chapter 34 shocked me. It's said to be worth 3,000 taels of gold. Earlier, it was mentioned that one tael of gold was worth ten taels of silver, meaning this 60-acre manor is worth 30,000 taels of silver. That's outrageous! At 500 taels of silver per acre, is it planted with gold?

The "Wei-Jin style" primarily refers to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Faced with the helplessness of the southward migration of the elite and the suffering of the north from the barbarian invasions, coupled with the Eastern Jin's utter incompetence, despair arose, leading to a life of decadence and debauchery.

Han Shou was a descendant of King Xin of Han and had no relation to the Marquis of Huaiyin.
