The Book of Chu: Annals of the Founding Emperor

The completed novel, "Eternal Sun and Moon," is available for new readers to enjoy.

The subject matter is excellent, but the terminology needs to be more standardized. Since this is still set in the Northern Song Dynasty, the terminology should be similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, with fewer Ming and Qing Dynasty expressions.

Of all the feudal dynasties in the world, the Song Dynasty was the hardest to overthrow. Your enemy would be the entire Han Chinese people, and your stance could only be that of foreign barbarians.

The Northern Song Dynasty was the easiest country to conquer. All it took was a few thousand troops to reach the capital, and without even fighting, a letter could have been sent demanding the disbandment of the 800,000-strong imperial guards, followed by the surrender of his wife, daughters, and all his property.

Surnames are very important when writing about historical power struggles; I don't want to read anything with those bizarre ones.

It's here! The pinned post, "The Sun and Moon Will Never Die," is still up. I was thinking of rereading Zhu Yunwen's work after get off work, but I found his new book. Support!

The protagonist of this book, Luo Yongsheng, initially thought he'd rather sell excrement and be fed urine by his steward than become a bandit or rebel. He only considered rebelling after being forced into it by the prospect of being wiped out. He's even more formidable than a Ninja Turtle. To be honest, being a bandit is 500 times better than selling excrement and enduring humiliation.

Add it to the featured section.

It was very difficult to achieve for the gentry to pay taxes together in ancient times. Emperor Yongzheng did it, but he had the support of millions of Manchu bannermen. Anyway, it only required Han gentry to pay taxes together. What about the Manchu landlords? Dare he touch them? He would be forced to step down in a heartbeat.

Having read over 70 chapters, here are some thoughts. The writing quality of this book is absolutely good; its biggest flaw is that the plot is too idealistic. As someone in the comments section aptly put it, finance isn't handled like that in historical fiction.
