The Prosperous Longwan Era

The protagonist is a smooth operator, adept at opportunism, yet he looks down on smooth operators like Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang, displaying a double standard—he's compliant, but others aren't. This is somewhat tolerable, given the story's quality and the anticipation of the protagonist's potential revival of the Ming Dynasty.

Huh? Qiu Ba, a military household member in the Ming Dynasty, took the imperial examination? Are you serious? Don't you know that once you become a military household member, your entire family must be military households and you can't participate in the imperial examination?

The Ming Dynasty was quite peculiar; it's often said that one is born in hardship and dies in comfort. From Zhu Yuanzhang onwards, the Ming Dynasty constantly focused on the northern barbarians. Zhu Di even went so far as to move the capital, leaving the emperor to guard the nation's borders.

I just want to know if there's a rebellion? The Ming Dynasty was already rotten by this time.

The character starts with a high IQ. I just read another character who also started as a 10-year-old and went into business, even figuring out punctuation and steam engines. This one is at least intelligent enough to go to school and practice writing. Keep it up!

The comments section cracked me up. They're discussing whether to "lie down and relax" even after time-traveling. Even without any cheat codes, as long as you're not a complete idiot, no matter which dynasty you travel to, whether it's a so-called golden age or a chaotic one, as long as you can survive the initial vulnerable period, you'll know what to do.

The author is alright, the writing style is fine, but why do new chapters always have repetitive paragraphs from previous chapters at the beginning? (This is just filler text.)

The protagonist has been in the Ming Dynasty for over a decade and has become increasingly assimilated, feeling like a native member of a prominent family. The common people treat the deaths reported in the imperial court as just numbers. They spend their days pondering the emperor's will, gazing at the heavens, never remembering the people beneath their feet.

The title is "A Prosperous Era"? As a time traveler, even if the author lacked scholarly ideals, he should still have some ideals and aspirations. Even the bureaucrats of the same era were more capable and responsible than the protagonist. So, when you went through there, were you as an observer and participant in the joys and sorrows of life?

I don't understand the author's thinking. The Longqing and Wanli reigns were the most prosperous and flourishing periods of the Ming Dynasty. Does the title "The Prosperous Era of Longqing and Wanli" mean that during the Longqing and Wanli reigns, people desperately sought high-ranking positions, amassed wealth, and then sought even higher positions to amass more wealth?
