Plotting for the World

In ancient times, let alone marrying a prostitute as a wife, even having her as a concubine was forbidden. This is utter nonsense. Even Yang Jiuhong from the TV series "The Grand Mansion" was never acknowledged by the old lady because in ancient times, wives were to be buried in the ancestral graveyard. For a prostitute to be buried there was a disgrace to the ancestors, and she would be expelled from the family genealogy.

I've noticed that historians all want to change the big picture, the bureaucratic system, the aristocratic system. Are they so easy to change? You're courting death. Even emperors know that aristocratic families are wealthy. Do you think an emperor could just confiscate the property of an aristocratic family at will?

The author next door, who writes about Qin Liangyu, even wants her to be the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, claiming she won't marry. Ha! How could Qin Liangyu, a Tujia woman, possibly be the Empress of the Ming Dynasty? I was banned from replying after saying a few words to that author. Here, a poor time traveler thinks he can become a monk.

The writing is too simplistic, lacking any political intrigue. The Ming Dynasty's national treasury only had a little over two thousand taels of silver a year, yet you casually amassed millions, with each escort mission costing a hundred thousand taels. Keep in mind that an army only earned a few taels a month, and you had dozens of men defeat hundreds.

This is my last comment, author. I've been paying to subscribe to this book, but it's getting less and less interesting. Seriously, even the Shandong governor, Song, is bullying the protagonist so badly that he's practically shitting on him, yet the protagonist is just paying to stay safe. It's so frustrating to watch. Goodbye, author. Writing like this is really making more people drop the book!

The protagonist doesn't build his own business network, intelligence network, military-industrial system, or military-political system? Instead, he raises orphans and refugees!

Sigh, to be fair, I read the comments, even the ones that were highlighted, saying the protagonist was fighting refugees and Tartars, but without a clear objective. If you weaken these groups, you become everyone's target. Given the nature of late Ming Dynasty literati—"I can't do it, but I won't allow you to be better than me"—what do you do? Rebel? What's the use of your reputation then?

AuthorWhere are you from, author? Why do you have a favorable impression of the Donglin Party? At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party was invincible in rhetoric, spouting empty words, lies, and grand pronouncements. They said: "We will not levy taxes on the people!" To put it bluntly, they couldn't profit from the officials, merchants, and landlords represented by the Donglin Party!

I just read the comments, but haven't read the book yet. I've heard that the protagonist is portrayed as a ruthless and ambitious figure who undermines the Ming Dynasty and cultivates his own power. Prestige is something that must be considered alongside military power. People in the world fear power, not virtue. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

It's normal to panic when traveling to another world, but would someone recklessly spout nonsense and court death? I personally think that's unlikely. A normal person knows that in an unfamiliar environment, the first priority is survival. For example, if someone is thrown onto an alien planet, even if they can never return to Earth, they would definitely think about how to survive, not how to roll around on the ground and go crazy. Just my humble opinion; please forgive me if I'm wrong.
