A Great Lord of the Warring States

Feigning weakness is fine, but the protagonist is risking his life. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to develop his armored soldiers and cavalry, will things turn out as he expects even after Zhi Yao's death? Remember, power grows out of the barrel of a gun. If the protagonist has no soldiers or resources, a single edict can order his execution.

First, since the protagonist has thousands of warhorses, so many armored soldiers, and the support of clan elders, even a clan leader shouldn't be so willful. Second, can we please stop having every time-traveling protagonist have a maid who doesn't understand hierarchy and manners, especially one who sticks out her tongue at the drop of a hat and gets chopped off if she can't retract it?

The protagonist replaces the Jin dynasty, first destroying the Qin state, then the Yan state, and then focusing all efforts on conquering the grasslands, building cities, implementing rotational grazing... The protagonist's cavalry can sweep across the grasslands... Emphasis is placed on medical care to increase population and lifespan... Simultaneously, research into navigation technology and shipbuilding begins.

Ah, please change the initial negative points. Otherwise, it will be difficult to change them when more people read it. The first chapter was a bit confusing; having 5000 households in the fiefdom and still being taken advantage of doesn't make sense, especially considering how well things are developing...

Have you considered gradually promoting books like Euclid's Elements and Conic Sections? Without gradually embarking on a path of understanding nature, it's unlikely we'll change our fate in the agrarian era. Starting with astronomy should be the easiest way to understand nature. From Euclid's Elements and Conic Sections to Kepler's three laws, with conscious guidance and observational data, progress can be achieved naturally.

Chapter 5 was truly suffocating. First, he was about to be killed, but then he cleverly claimed to know that they were going to attack Zhao. After rambling on like that, he was released. I just want to ask, is it reasonable to let someone who knows such secrets go back after things have come to this point? It's as ridiculous as letting Americans go home before they're about to bomb Pearl Harbor.

I really like the Warring States period, and there aren't many stories about it, but this protagonist is truly a disgrace to time travelers. He time-traveled for sixteen or seventeen years and was still forced to commit suicide.

There are a few things that look unpleasant. He wasn't decisive enough in his killings. Zhi Yao wanted to kill him, and his son also wanted to kill him. He successfully assassinated him without wearing armor, but ended up letting them all go. Many of the people who helped Zhi Yao get rid of him escaped; none of them died at the protagonist's hands.

They started by poisoning the enemy, preparing for so long, and had their own fiefdom, money, food, soldiers, and chariots. Then they just handed their heads over to the clan leader to be killed, only remembering to resist when they were about to die—a complete weakling. So no matter how exciting the later parts are, the beginning just can't hold up.

The situation was haphazardly set up. The state of Jin only had a few million people in total. A large household with 5,000 households was a prominent figure in the country with tens of thousands of people. How could a lowly official dare to harvest your wheat? In the Spring and Autumn period, it was a feudal system where fiefdoms were granted by you. Where did this city magistrate come from, living on your territory?
