The Ming Craftsman

Huai Ren built the world's first steam-powered automobile around the thirteenth year of the Kangxi reign. (Note: The last part, "M,,, ", appears to be a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly. It's likely a result of OCR errors.)

Every time I see those narrow-minded, old-fashioned intellectuals, I feel like I could have them torn to pieces a thousand times over. They don't understand anything, yet they slander others. We shouldn't let these kinds of people get away with anything; if we have the chance, we should kill them, not just injure them. Humans are a renewable resource; without troublemakers, things will go much more smoothly!

Given the moral character of the Liaodong officials and Ming army, in the end, they all became someone else's spoils!

If one didn't rebel, it would be wishful thinking to climb up the ranks of a craftsman at that time, given his status as a craftsman.

How can you say that? It's a miracle that a craftsman without any backing hasn't been devoured alive.

Reading this book gave me a sense of déjà vu, like watching a farcical anti-Japanese war drama.

Has it stopped updating? I was planning to wait until it reaches a million words before reading it properly.

I hope the author can update three times a day if possible.

The author starts by spouting nonsense, claiming that rickshaws, which were introduced in the late Qing Dynasty, were brought back to the late Ming Dynasty. It's unclear whether this is an attempt to fool readers or genuine ignorance.

What good were technological inventions alone in the late Ming Dynasty? The key was the system. Constantly thinking about barbed wire is laughable. It's frustrating and unsettling to watch.
