Reborn in the Final Years of Northern Wei

It's getting cold, give Xiao Gao Wang an extra layer.

The Sinicization of the Northern Qi was virtually impossible. Gao Huan is historically regarded as a Han Chinese who had become Xianbei, while Yuwen Tai was a Xianbei who had become Sinicized. Gao Huan's uprising relied on Xianbei soldiers from the Six Garrisons, who had lost their opportunities for advancement during the Sinicization efforts of the Northern Wei and would not have agreed to Sinicization. For Gao Huan, Sinicization would have shaken his very foundation.

The system was essentially still the same as that of the Northern Wei Dynasty. They dared not touch the aristocratic clans, and the framework of the imperial examination system was utterly useless. Political corruption and vicious infighting were ignored, and they even took pride in using it to control their ministers.

The Sinicization of the Eastern Wei was necessary; otherwise, it would fall into the same vicious cycle as in history, eventually being surpassed by the Western Wei. However, is the author being too hasty in explicitly stating the need for Sinicization? The entire Gao family's wealth came from the soldiers of the Six Garrisons.

Bloodless reforms are nothing but childish fantasies, especially those involving huge interests like land redistribution and the official system. I can't stand historical novels that make reforms seem too easy. The protagonist's actions of eliminating hidden households and offending powerful clans in Hebei aren't a major problem, because his base is mainly composed of remnants of the Six…

Did the population reduction and one-child policy implemented during the classical imperial period aim to lead to the downfall and extinction of the Chinese nation? Have you ever wondered about the fates of governments around the world that were guided by Malthusian theory in the 19th century?

Another person whose brain has been clouded by the idea of ​​meritocracy! All the supposed benefits of meritocracy outweigh its drawbacks! The biggest problem is: what constitutes merit? Who decides? How is the succession ensured? Why was primogeniture the norm in ancient times? Because it's an innate standard that prevents chaos in succession. Take the Tang and Qing dynasties as examples.

It's a pity about this book. It did well last year, and the author got carried away and wanted to write two books simultaneously, which drew criticism from readers, so he focused on updating for a while. Now he's going to write two books again. Leaving aside the update issues, even if the quality is good, slow updates are one thing. The key issue is that he doesn't have the capacity to write two!

What kind of plans are these? No matter what feudal dynasties did, they couldn't last more than 300 years. Are you still thinking about these things while we're still in a feudal era?

Keep it up, break into the elite category! Ah, the Northern and Southern Dynasties—such a niche within a niche!
