The First Village of the Tang Dynasty

I was just about to say how pitiful the author was, only having one recommendation vote, when I saw the 10,000-word mark next to it 😂😂 How embarrassing!

Establishing the Xi Family Manor here is incredibly clever. It's a vital buffer zone on the Silk Road. After consolidating its position for half a year, it can then establish its next territory in the next enemy-occupied area. Even Emperor Li Er wouldn't dare to forcibly seize it, would he? Even powerful families don't have such long reach, do they?

Hey author! Here's your monthly pass, let the protagonist rebel! His whole family was almost wiped out, they've been bullied like this. If he keeps putting up with this, he'll just become a coward. Having such a huge advantage, it's such a waste not to rebel and become emperor himself. As emperor, he'd have no shortage of money, and he could lead troops to raid other tribes.

I wonder if the protagonist has masochistic tendencies. He was chased and killed by Li Shimin, and in the end he still went to fawn over Li Shimin. I'm really impressed! Moreover, as a big shot, he has no security or defense at all. Anyone can get close to him. Doesn't he know who his guards are?

They take everything out, even building public toilets and canteens. Do you know why collective cooperatives and communes collapsed? Because everyone was eating from the collective, and nobody wanted to do more work. Why do we need intellectual property rights? Teaching an apprentice can lead to the master starving! Human greed is endless.

At first, I couldn't believe the protagonist had just emerged from a pile of corpses; he seemed like an ordinary tourist, spending money lavishly while simultaneously "reluctantly" making purchases...

Let me share my personal feelings. Honestly, the latest chapters were a bit awkward to read, feeling like forced scenes. Putting aside the immense power and influence of this aristocratic family, if they were truly as brainless as the author portrays them, I doubt they would have survived for a thousand years. How could such a powerful family dare to provoke three dukes in succession?

The village in this book is somewhat like a Shangri-La. Having read too many time-travel stories filled with fighting and killing, the protagonist's character and way of life embody a modern, somewhat reclusive lifestyle. He has a cheat code (or special ability) but doesn't use it recklessly; he integrates technology into society.

The cheat system was alright, but it came with a disgusting protagonist; giving it to him was a waste, as it only used a tiny fraction of the cheat system's potential. The reason I find the protagonist disgusting is because he's a hypocrite. He keeps saying he only likes Cheng Yuqi, yet he acts all innocent and doesn't flirt with other women.

I couldn't continue reading after a few chapters. When he first transmigrated, didn't he know he could recharge his account? Why did he just buy things randomly after recharging? Buying t-shirts and jeans in the dense forest—is he just letting mosquitoes bite his hands? Buying jeans—is he making sure his legs aren't already tired from walking on mountain paths?
