To be honest, after reading the first chapter, I noticed a glaring flaw. If the crown prince hadn't been chosen yet, the second son couldn't have been called the Prince of Han before the eldest. After checking, I found out that the crown prince and the Prince of Han were indeed conferred titles in the second year of the Yongle reign. It should be the Prince of Gaoyang. The author isn't very meticulous! 😂
I felt awkward from the second chapter. The protagonist inherits memories and then casually targets the King of Han, which is truly baffling. The King still has decades of glory ahead of him, he's not even dead yet, and he's already offended like that. He even explains things to his retainers, revealing everything so casually despite the core changes.
I discovered this book too early; it's only just sprouted, and there's simply not enough time to read it all! I don't even know how long it will take to fully appreciate its potential—what a worry!
One point is that throughout the entire story, Empress Xu addresses the protagonist either as "my dear nephew" or "Xu Jingchang," showing no intimacy whatsoever. Why didn't she just call him Jingchang directly?
It gets worse and worse, and more and more mindless the more you watch it.
What I found objectionable later on was that some things can be done but not said. Saying them changes the meaning. Just like the newspapers, factories, and commercial taxes described in the book, these plot developments are somewhat reasonable.
I'd like to ask if the protagonist in the book is correct in saying that land affected by floods becomes fertile? I only remember Chinese records describing land after floods as severely salinized and unsuitable for cultivation. China has historically placed great importance on both agriculture and flood control; are there any relevant records of this? The only record I know of of floods making land fertile is from Egypt. Can this really be applied to China?
Apart from the main character, everyone else is an idiot. They tried to write about strategic planning, but they couldn't even convincingly portray the essence of it.
Upon reading the second chapter, the servant gave me a hard time, saying that I was colluding with the King of Han, and I abandoned the book.
Don't resign from office so easily. Either you don't want to be in office at all, or you stay in office and remain a behind-the-scenes manipulator. If you are in office, don't be ambitious; understand the doctrine of the mean and conceal your talents. If you resign too often, what will the emperor think? Don't forget, the emperor can take everything away from you at any time.
