A Century-Old Family That Runs Through the Ming Dynasty

"If your surname was Kong, would I still believe it"

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty died, but it's unforgivable if the Ming Dynasty doesn't die. The protagonist doesn't want to change. Why time travel?

Let's not talk about others. As long as you are an immortal and do not have extraordinary power, your own family's grandsons, great-grandsons, and great-great-grandsons will want you to die and get the secrets from you. Who doesn't want to live forever?

There is a huge flaw in the setting of this book. Although it is a novel about aristocratic families, as of the latest chapter, the protagonist actually has no ability to counterattack or control his family. When his son was alive, he could still rely on family affection to indirectly give orders, but when his grandchildren became rebellious, let alone this Such a large family branch is scattered, family ties and interests are weak, and it is impossible to master it. The key is that the protagonist has no other single life-saving abilities except immortality, dreams, and suspended animation. The protagonist is already very smart even before he is sold as a ginseng fruit.

If nothing changes, am I looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty? Or look at the history of Ming Dynasty?

This book is currently considered to be above average, and now it mainly depends on where the protagonist will go next. It is not easy to be an official in the Hongwu Dynasty. The right way is to think carefully about how to escape before Queen Ma or Zhu Biao die. It would be safer to start things after Zhu Yuanzhang's death. If the protagonist has a daughter, he will inevitably marry a prince. 🤫 Reference Queen Xu.

After Zhu Biao died, the Ming Dynasty would be gone. The latter is just the difference between bad and worse.

Immortality without supernatural powers can only mean living in fear every day.

Sitting and watching a certain book building rise and collapse The most exciting thing is from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the unification of Qin, and then there were the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty. The Han people fought and bloodletted each other. So what is the significance of the existence of online literature? There is no sense of substitution. Travelers do not change history. If I want to see real history, why would I spend money at Qidian. I want to see the Chinese civilization follow the path of the Western world so that others have no way to go. I want to see Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Far East, Australia, North and South America,, The result is,, There is also a book about aristocratic families in the Ming Dynasty, which is also about to collapse An immortal person, in the end, he has no other extraordinary means except to scare people in dreams. There is no strong means to suppress future generations, and there is no means to counterattack the ruling class. I think it will be over sooner or later. Extraordinary means aside, the plug-in of the eternal bloodline protagonist can obviously be used anonymously all over the country, but it is not available in overseas countries. Goldfinger has no basic development at all.

Game, aristocratic family, okay, this is exactly the same as the establishment of a thousand-year aristocratic family since King Wu conquered Zhou. Sure enough, a theme became popular, and many followed suit, but the writing was good, and it was okay.

To put it simply: being played by the game and unable to change the timeline

There is another problem. There is a big problem with the author's setting, because the protagonist is immortal but has no magical powers and dare not be exposed to the public. This means that all power is controlled by the heirs. Once the heirs have their own ideas and ignore your orders, you can't stop them. On the other hand, when a person has experienced many things, his personality has changed, or his nature is dull, he is afraid of death, or he is old, will the protagonist be forced to teach immortality methods, even extreme methods? And the person who will inherit the position of head of the family three generations later has no feelings for you. How can you restrain him? Why should he listen to you? You said you are God? Is it so easy to create a god? The existence of God is either fearful or used to express feelings. But when there is a real god, they will try their best to kill you and get your secrets, especially if you are unable to suppress it. Besides, before the protagonist's two sons turn on history, can you please stop attaching some ideas to them that are not compatible with that era? It's nonsense. Since ancient times, if you want your family to prosper, you have to either not participate in party struggles, or vote for one or more from both sides. The second son's behavior of being close to Zhu Gaoxu could not be more correct. The eldest son's behavior of being close to the prince, no matter which one wins, you can still maintain your glory and wealth and your throne will not decline. Do you really think that the prince will be able to convince his second son? What if the prince and Zhu Biao go first? Or maybe the second son has enlightened and succeeded in imitating Li Shimin? Or maybe Zhu Di got crazy and, like Zhu Yuanzhang, questioned the establishment of his second son? Is this possible for just indigenous people? Once you go all-in on the eldest son, if something goes wrong, you will be directly excluded from the circle of power.

To be honest, in China, it is impossible to play the colonial game. It is not the difference in weapons, but the mentality. Even now in 2023, many people still have barbaric thinking. They always think that Britain can rule the huge colonies because of force. They do not think about it. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the colonies were far away from the mainland and could not even replenish manpower and ammunition. How could they subdue the locals. The root cause lies in institutional issues. The principle of colonization lies not in rule but in transaction, that is, Europe obtains raw materials from the colonies by selling industrial products and weapons to the colonies. Huge profits will form, and huge profits will prompt a continuous influx of greedy people. When the population reaches a certain base, it will inevitably lead to the extrusion of original land. Why did the indigenous people agree to let the Europeans gain a foothold in the first place? Because the upper class of the indigenous people are rare in these things, and the battles between the indigenous people force them to need these weapons, because once they win, they can obtain the other party's people or land as captives and sell them to Europe as slaves. But if you want to grab it hard as soon as you go up and give everything, they will definitely fight for your life. The European methods cannot be used in China, as can be seen from the incident of converting rice into mulberry in the Ming Dynasty. Essentially, it was a Nanyang businessman who ordered 500,000 pieces of silk from Daming. This was a good thing, but Shen Yishi couldn't make the decision because he couldn't get enough silk from the market to do it. It can only be done by the government and the central government, and the central government can do it by the localities. However, local officials do not want to collect enough silk at high prices, adjust grain prices from other provinces, and let farmers take the initiative to change crops because of profits. Instead, they try to acquire land and plant it themselves. Not only do they want to keep the profits for themselves, they even destroy embankments and flood the fields, causing tragedy. If it were in Europe, the colonists only needed to shout on the street to buy silk at a high price or ask some farmers to contract for silk wrapping. As long as the profit of silk wrapping was higher than the profit of farming, they would naturally change rice to mulberry. There was no need for the government to intervene, and the market would mediate it by itself. There will be no so-called forced reform while maintaining stability, and the dilemma will be solved. There will be no flooding in Chun'an. Because the market will prompt voluntary changes. This is reflected in the fundamental difference in the system

It looks okay from the front, but the further back you go, the harder it becomes to understand. It's really just writing the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it doesn't infiltrate power. How can you rebel as a lonely minister? There is only one person in the center of power, and there are so few children in the family. Are you really going to just wait for the Ming Dynasty to fall? Fighting with the Qing army? ? ? Besides, since you are immortal, do people in the family, especially those in high positions, have any thoughts about you? ? I can't see your plan. You just teach the emperor some wisdom and improve your reputation. This is asking for death. Can you bear the censor's report to the emperor? Does the emperor really not care? There are too many loopholes.

What has been changed by the protagonist's time travel? Even if you don't want to change, as a person who has received modern education, can't you make the people within your sphere of influence live a better life?

There is a bug. As long as I am not dead, I can live. As long as my family is not dead, I can live.

The awkward thing about this book is that he asked me, a commoner, to take the perspective of a landlord and read the whole story. It was difficult for me to feel immersed in it. It is completely different from the Zhao Na book next door. The one next door is to highlight the spirit of shaping national culture. This book says at the beginning that he is preparing to become emperor after the Ming Dynasty dies and collapses. So sitting back and watching some rotten systems of the Ming Dynasty continue to be implemented without trying to change them, and not adding insult to injury to accelerate the collapse of the Ming Dynasty is considered conscientious, right?

The protagonist should be crazy about giving birth to sons in the first generation, at least 20. Don't concentrate the power of the family head on one person. Set up a council of elders for these 20 sons, each of whom will control part of the family's power. Then he will set up an intelligence organization to monitor the entire family. This part of the power should never be given to his son. He should always control it in his own hands. He should fake his death every 50 years.

After the death of the first wife, why didn't he take over? Give birth to a few more hidden veins, go to Europe, America, Australia

After the Battle of Jingnan, it was all over. I didn't take over the world before, and now I take over it. Isn't this inconsistent? Cao Cao is always better than Sima Yifeng

I don't know if the book is good, but I have a small opinion about the introduction. I would like to ask whether there is any difference between the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty when Chongzhen hangs himself in Meishan. There is no protagonist.

Tacit understanding and arrangement

I have been reading this book since I discovered it the day before yesterday. I ordered it all. This book is really good. Few books can make me so addicted.

@Author, look here, praise me and be nice
