One book, one world
Miscellaneous Niche Reads
My taste is fairly reliable. The novels on this list were all added when they had only eighty or ninety thousand characters, and there are now fifty of them. I especially enjoy Journey to the West fan fiction, but genuinely good examples are rare on Qidian. Journey to the West stories work better commercially with a male protagonist. If the protagonist is reborn as a monster, there are so many choices: the White Bone Spirit, Spider Demon, Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, Yellow Wind Demon, Chaos Demon K

Through the Long Night, Only Books for Company
I'm so annoyed. It's bad enough that the book disappeared, but why are my comments gone too? There are so few books I can keep following all the way through! I leisurely read by lamplight, tipsy. It's already midnight. Maybe I'm lonely and bored, but I still can't bring myself to sleep. So I find a novel and savor the solitude. Of course, with a book, you're never alone. P.S. I highly recommend Ace Censor, a lively and fun comic. It's been ages since I recommended any books. This activity seemed
Lao Bai’s Books, Beginners Keep Out
These are all the kind of books that hold up to rereading, with smart protagonists and villains! They're all books I enjoy. I won't include ones I don't like. I know popular authors write good books, but tastes differ, so I'll only include some of them.

The protagonist has not adjusted his mentality so far, and is still facing the ancient people in a modern way of communication. Do you really think that the ancient mountain people were simple and honest? It can be said that if the protagonist did not have a golden finger, he would have been regarded as a monster and thrown to death. Either don't show off your various abilities all day long and mingle with the masses, or stay away from the masses and be high-minded. This is not a derogatory meaning, but an inevitable choice. After all, this is the ancient time of the feudal system, not the open-minded modernization. Even those who are educated and know a few words are only one in a hundred. And if the protagonist, who has an obviously wrong style of painting, does not figure out what he is doing and just takes one step at a time, the scene will be very embarrassing. This is still the relatively open Tang Dynasty. In dynasties like the Song and Ming Dynasties where Neo-Confucianism developed, the protagonist is simply the husky among the wolves! In fact, I have never understood the purpose of bringing the protagonist's superpower to a historical ancient time. So far, the mainline core has not appeared.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking! I've said the important things three times. The protagonist is so cute, and some parts simply make people laugh out loud... Of course, I also have to make some suggestions. ① First of all, many of the skills prompted by the system feel that their functions are repeated, and some skills can be derived into many uses if you dig deeper. Of course, the author cannot cover everything, so it is recommended to add some restrictions to reasonably explain these trivial skills. ② Secondly, you can add more Some stories from other people's perspectives are used to set off the changes brought about by the protagonist, so that the characters are more fleshed out. ③ Finally, there is the plot of farming construction. Don't complete the system spell once and it will feel very empty and have no sense of substitution. If the technology can be taught to the villagers and promote social development, there should be many interesting plots I hope the author will write better and better, and I will give you a recommendation vote~
In fact, the government military system was a last resort. The changes in China's military system after the Song Dynasty have always been in reverse.
China's military system has gone through several changes. Before the pre-Qin Dynasty, China actually had a system of soldiers for all people. In fact, it was still very similar to Europe in the Middle Ages. Most of the slaves, civilians and a few elites fought during this period. In fact, many times the weapons, equipment and food required the participants themselves. Preparation, combat effectiveness and morale can be imagined. The Qin Dynasty was the first in Chinese history. The military merit system completely changed the changes in China's military structure system. Civilians had to receive military training during their leisure time. Although they had to prepare their own clothes, equipment and food were distributed by the state. Moreover, the bottom class can have the opportunity to climb up, which is very attractive to civilians. It breaks the hereditary situation of high-ranking military generals, which are completely based on military merit. Although military merit can be passed down to children, once your son loses a battle, your title will be reduced or even completely stripped away (see historical data) , Qin has no shortage of high-ranking nobles who have fallen). It is easy for low-level officials to climb up, as long as they behead their heads. If high-level officials want to gain military merit, they must command and win a war. The number of deaths in the battle cannot exceed the number of enemies annihilated. Otherwise, it will become a negative number, and you will be demoted. In addition, in this era, standing soldiers appeared in various countries. If a man in the family served as a soldier, he could be exempted from excess taxes. This situation is somewhat similar to the characteristics of the later military system and the imperial military system. The Western Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the system was basically various modifications of the Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, basic military training was required during the off-season, and a person basically had to be drafted twice, each time for one year. Qin's military merit system is still in effect. The combat effectiveness of the Han army can ensure that in addition to the mobilization ability at the grassroots level, these soldiers have at least received basic military training before joining the army.
The engineering technology tree of Datang has been changed, and corvee can be gradually eliminated.
In order to strengthen the foundation and win the hearts and minds of the people, we must first start from Guanzhong (learn from the Han Dynasty to strengthen the foundation. As long as you grasp the hearts of the Guanzhong elders, good policies and good things will start with the Guanzhong elders. Even if the world is in chaos, you can recruit hundreds of thousands of heroes to sweep the world. This is how the Han Dynasty came to be for four hundred years), and then gradually promote it throughout the country. The first things to be promoted were windmills and waterwheels built by craftsmen in large numbers. Both of them could be used to grind rice and grind flour, but waterwheels were more important. Waterwheels could also irrigate dry land, reduce labor costs, irrigate dry fields at higher latitudes, and provide grain production in Guanzhong. Waterwheels could also use water power to help forge armor. Four-wheeled carriages were also popularized for the first time, sedans and two-wheeled carriages could disappear, the transportation capacity of the Tang Empire was greatly improved, and the powerful could ride more comfortable carriages. To be honest, China has always been inferior to the West in many aspects of engineering (this is a fact that must be admitted). China is ahead of China in many fields of engineering. China has not solved the problem of carriage bumping, nor has it solved the problem of carriage axles that are easy to break, and the problem of two-wheeled vehicles' transport capacity. China invented the wheelbarrow for transporting grain, and also transported grain through canal ships. In the West, steering gears, springs, and bearings were invented as early as the ancient Roman era and the Middle Ages and were transported on carriages, making the carriages not bumpy and able to adapt to many road surfaces. The speed and capacity of the carriages were improved, and the axles were more difficult to shorten. Even in the Middle Ages, the carriages were finally perfected and their carrying capacity could reach one ton. This high-capacity carriage was used until World War II. Then cement began to be promoted in Guanzhong (the West was the first to invent cement, of course ancient Rome used volcanic ash to make cement) In addition, a large number of hydraulic facilities were widely spread in Guanzhong, and combined with water trucks to irrigate dry land far away from the river, Chang'an's grain output was greatly increased and the demand for canal grain supply was gradually reduced. In addition, there are things like building roads and expanding the Grand Canal, and because of these craftsmen, corvee can be gradually eliminated. Corvee was the thing that ancient people feared the most (sometimes it was more powerful than heavy taxes). It seemed that the government made money, but once there were too many corvees, it would overthrow the dynasty. A little less, sometimes you have to prepare meals for your family, the government sometimes does not even provide meals, and even the place where you have to do corvee work is far away, which may cause your family to be destroyed, and the land to be annexed. Didn't Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty finally get out of the way and use millions of people just for the Grand Canal and the war against Goryeo? So why did Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty have been praised for thousands of years and it was not a frivolous corvee? Now that there are such craftsmen, who will do the labor? Tang Taizong can declare that there will never be a corvee in Guanzhong to win the hearts of the people.
The power of interpretation of ancient heavenly gods is not in the hands of Taoism
From the Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the most authoritative authority on the interpretation of gods has always been Confucianism (the imperial court) of this dynasty. Secondly, there is the previous court and the officially declared righteous god. Again, it is the gods in Buddhism. Again, it is the gods of Taoism. Moreover, in the early Tang Dynasty, Taoism had not yet learned from Confucianism and Buddhism to compile a truly systematic heavenly and divine system as it did in the Song Dynasty. Each small sect circulates within itself that there is such-and-such a god in such-and-such a place. At this time, not even the Three Pure Ones were gathered together. The Three Pure Ones were only officially established during the Wu Zetian period, and the Taoist heavenly body was only determined during the Song Dynasty (including the most famous one, the Jade Emperor system compiled by the Shenxiao sect). So the protagonist is actually not afraid of others asking him about the situation in heaven. Of course, the author must have considered it when he wrote that the protagonist does not leave the village. I do not want to shake the author's thinking, but I just want to say that the protagonist does not need to be afraid of anyone asking him about things related to the heaven. In addition, Taoism had a high status in name in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Taoism was severely suppressed during the reigns of Emperor Gaozong and Taizong, and the court rarely issued Taoist ultimatums. On the contrary, many people think that during the Wu Zetian dynasty, when Buddhism flourished, not only Buddhism flourished, but Taoism was no longer suppressed by the court and began to develop vigorously. If you don't study religious history, you may not know this.
The protagonist is so awesome, he is the emperor of heaven, he actually recognizes Li Shimin as his elder brother and becomes his own younger brother. Awesome.
He died of a poisonous attack. In Chapter 100, the protagonist inexplicably worshiped Li Shimin as his imperial brother after pretending to be cool. What about your qualifications as a god? I leave this post as a warning to future generations, please don't read it.
The Confucian education of the ancient princes was nothing more than enlightenment. What one really wanted to learn was the emperor's mental skills.
If you really believe in Confucianism, you would be totally wrong (and the views of various Confucian factions are completely opposite, the Gongyang faction is domineering, Xunzi's human nature is evil, Mencius' human nature is good, Gu Liang's respect for the king and relatives want to hide). Some tend to be big government, some are small government, some are Legalists, some are Huang Lao, You are good. A good king must read every school of thought from the beginning, and use every school of thought. If you are partial to science alone, there will be problems. Gu Liang's relatives must be shielded for committing crimes. Mencius is also good at human nature. He becomes a gentleman and does not need supervision. Gentlemen govern the country. The literati in the late Ming Dynasty are also the products of the Gu Liang and Mencius factions. It depends on what they are. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, who was a Confucian and respected the Guliang sect, had the Han Dynasty killed. In ancient times, the emperor could be poor in academics, but the difference between the emperor's mental skills and the way of employing people would be fatal, so all schools of thought had to learn from it. Sometimes the prince's master would not teach (because he wanted the prince to become a fool), but the emperor would teach by words and deeds (the emperor's rules were written by Li Shimin to Li Zhi. On the surface, it seems to be nothing, but underneath it is all the emperor's mental skills). Confucian etiquette is about hierarchy (most people only see it as etiquette, but in fact, emperors see it as social hierarchy, and everyone in the world has different levels) Legalists, political strategists, and Huang-Lao schools directly talk about political means, the way of governing subordinates, and the way of employing people. Therefore, emperors who generally study Legalists and Huang-Lao are not idiots. Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty has known his imperial ideas from ancient times to modern times. Jiajing respected Huang-Lao, and his imperial methods were the best in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was a hybrid of the ways of overlord, and was proficient in Huang-Lao and Legalism.
The first 200 chapters are well written. Although it has various shortcomings, it can still be said to be a good book. It mainly uses knowledge + metaphysics to cultivate the Tang Dynasty for explosive development. It feels like an alternative to farming. In fact, from the 200th chapter, there is a 180-degree split. Brainworms, mutated locusts, and zombies are not the same. The dead red giants are all Tang Dynasty, saying that they can't defeat them and can't cause trouble, and then they invite the protagonist/protagonist's vest to solve the problem... The development done in the first 200 chapters is of no use... I want to see the Tang Dynasty's magic reform in the prosperous era of the Celestial Dynasty become more powerful, so I can go to sleep. After 200 chapters, the setting of Tang Dynasty collapsed... It's a pity
I don't know why I want to put this picture up.
