In the Three Kingdoms, Working Nine to Five

I lost interest when I saw the pension section. An elderly person receives 3,000 yuan per quarter and 30 shi of grain, so that would be 12,000 yuan and 120 shi of grain per year. Setting it so high from the start—truly idealistic.

Why do so many people want to vote for Cao Cao? What were they thinking? Not to mention his tendency to massacre entire cities and use human flesh as rations. He represents the past of powerful clans and aristocratic families, whose interests, starting with Cao Pi's use of grain and cloth as currency, have been beyond the reach of a time traveler like you.

After the Battle of Red Cliffs, the story collapsed. The author has absolutely no economic foundation, indulging in rampant financing, promoting paper money and pension insurance, without even a basic monetary standard (><). Minting, taxation, and economic adjustments are all very difficult to write about; the author is practically jumping into a pit, yet he's afraid of not dying. He's burying himself in it; he should burn incense in the sand.

In every Three Kingdoms novel, Shu fans and Wei fans argue for ages, why aren't Wu fans ever mentioned?

Assuming Liu Bei gains power, then Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, and Liu Bei have all been members of the Liu family. Would the idea that the Liu family would truly become the undisputed rulers of the land?

The benevolent Liu Bei sought refuge in Xuzhou, where the governor's sons disappeared without a trace. Then, the benevolent Liu Bei sought refuge in Jingzhou, where the governor's sons died. Finally, the benevolent Liu Bei went to Shu to help, only to seize their territory. How truly benevolent!

I once heard a saying: "Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty was like a clear mirror, looking directly into people's hearts. Those with bright hearts saw him as sacred, while those with dark hearts saw him as despicable."

In every Three Kingdoms novel comment section, there's always someone criticizing Liu Bei for being hypocritical, someone condemning Cao Cao for massacring cities, and someone saying that serving others is worse than establishing one's own power. I'm sick and tired of it; I don't even want to click in and argue. Stop with the nonsense, can't we just have a proper discussion about the book's content?

This book is doomed. Every era has its own tasks. Always assuming that certain things in modern times are better than those in the past, and insisting on implementing them in that era, will only lead to certain death.

Dear readers, remember to keep reading! I'll update as early and as often as possible... That's settled!
