Bandit Rule in Bingzhou at the End of the Han

Indeed, without sufficient political skill or military might, the protagonist of the equal-field system would have died a gruesome death. The ancients may have lacked knowledge, but those who could stand out among billions of people in history were not lacking in intelligence!

The prerequisite for equal land distribution is that you possess exceptional abilities. Otherwise, powerful clans would have already torn you apart.

My personal suggestion is to look straight out the window during a heavy snowfall and say to the civil and military officials, "If only I had ten thousand mansions, I could shelter all the poor scholars of the world and make them all happy." The tone should be light and casual, as if it were said unintentionally. This will allow the civil and military officials under the protagonist to better understand his ambition, and it will also bring him a good reputation and win the hearts of the people.

The more I watch, the more I feel the protagonist shouldn't have crossed over from the 21st century. Gunpowder, glass, distilled spirits, printing, oil, compound fertilizer... So many useful things, yet the protagonist doesn't touch a single one.

The Fubing system was a major blunder; history has shown it's ineffective. You might have had a good time using it initially, but with no taxes paid, including for education, where would your revenue come from before you had an industrial base? Industrial development requires government investment first.

Captured prisoners of war were made to mine, control sandstorms, dig canals, build bridges and roads—everything had to be done to ensure convenient transportation. Convenient transportation would make the country richer and also prevent the phenomenon of the emperor being far away from the country. It would be a waste not to use these prisoners of war slaves as free labor.

This book is, in my opinion, the best Three Kingdoms novel I've ever read.

The recent plot is a bit melodramatic, forcibly creating difficulties. Gao Shun led 10,000 men to defend Huayin, yet he only sent scouts a few dozen miles away to investigate and guard. When Dong Zhuo sent troops to attack, it was either Wuguan or Hangu Pass; given the choice, wouldn't you send someone to watch your own doorstep?

In ancient times, there were always policies for surveying and distributing land, as well as policies to curb land annexation. For example, Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, didn't compromise or surrender to powerful clans; on the contrary, he implemented a land measurement system to suppress land annexation and curb the power of aristocratic families.

Having transmigrated to the late Han Dynasty, he still held onto the belief that human beings were valuable. People at the end of the Han Dynasty were the least valuable; so valuable that it didn't matter if a bunch of them died.
