Late Ming: I’m Rich, What Do I Have to Fear?

Why is the protagonist frantically farming and accumulating strength only to go and rescue the emperor in the 17th year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign? What kind of crazy strategy is this?!

Transmigrating to a chaotic world, having a system is a sign of intelligence. I just read some novel called "Peerless Emperor," where 300 commoners directly mounted their horses and crushed the Jin cavalry. After a few days of training, 500 men wiped out 2,500. The Jin soldiers were poisoned beyond measure.

Oh my god, I'm really drooling! Seeing the animal optimization section, they're giving it to sheep! Of course, it should be the heavy draft horse! Those things are more than five times more efficient at plowing than oxen. The only drawback is that they eat grain, but that's a huge boost to productivity and yields! In those days, the heavy draft horse was a hybrid of a truck and a tractor.

The protagonist's cheat ability was something I fantasized about for myself a few days ago, and today I actually encountered it... Wow!

Emperor Chongzhen was a tyrant and a traitor, not Emperor Xian of Han. Holding the emperor hostage to command the other lords during the late Ming dynasty was pointless; it did more harm than good. It would have been much more satisfying to wait for Chongzhen's death and have the protagonist, like Zhu Yuanzhang, establish a separatist regime in Huaihe River Valley and conquer the entire country.

Author, what were you thinking? The protagonist is now semi-voluntarily confined in Nanjing, hoping the emperor will release him to return and fight against the Qing army when they march south. I'm really confused. What exactly is the protagonist after? What use is the emperor to him besides giving him a princess and an official position during the resistance against the Qing?

From chapter 59 onwards, after the author revealed his intention to fawn over Emperor Chongzhen, followed by a bunch of ridiculous reasons, I knew I couldn't continue reading. I hope the author learns from this mistake.

I'm Shen Wansan, the super-rich tycoon, who am I afraid of? Then Zhu Yuanzhang confiscated my property, exiled me, and I died! In ancient times, not being an emperor didn't end well; your achievements that overshadowed the ruler inevitably led to your death.

Emperor Chongzhen killed many ministers. Isn't the protagonist afraid that he will be killed by the emperor when he goes to pay his respects?

I initially thought it was alright, but when I saw the author trying to fawn over Emperor Chongzhen, I was shocked and disgusted. The author should know there are reasons why this book did poorly; readers want a lighthearted, enjoyable read, not masochistic fantasies.
