It's meaningless. Given the protagonist's initial setup, there's absolutely no need for him to bow and say "yes" to every single word. It's as if even nine years of compulsory education in modern society hasn't completely eradicated the protagonist's servility!
Many time-travel novels these days suffer from a common problem: they spend a lot of time in the beginning describing how the protagonist makes money through business. I know money is important, but could you at least gloss over it? Am I reading time-travel novels to see how the protagonist does business after traveling back to ancient times? Hopefully, this novel won't make this mistake.
This book is quite good; it gives me a nostalgic feeling. 🙂
Seeing that the protagonist transmigrates alone and spends decades building trains, I knew it was a light novel. What caught me off guard was that there were actually experts in the comments section complaining that the protagonist's decades of train-building was too slow!
Chapter 5, who boasted about having farmed before, actually used toilet excrement to grow crops 😥
In summary
It must be said that the author's writing in this book is really dry; the protagonist is basically constantly inventing, creating, and offering suggestions, only occasionally mentioning the reactions of other ministers or the daily life of Chang'an. Frankly, it's a bit bland and uninspiring. Secondly, the powerful aristocratic families are portrayed as too powerful…
The writing is too superficial. If you have experience, you will find it very rough. It shows a lack of understanding of the development of philosophy, politics, and science. Development without a foundation is like stepping on one foot while stepping on the other. However, this can be remedied by referring to case studies.
Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were tyrants in ancient times; no emperor would compare himself to them. If Emperor Taizong of Tang were to compare himself to Emperor Taizong of Han, it would be Emperor Taizong of Han.
Ugh, this book is just a feel-good story disguised as a historical novel; I couldn't continue reading. My personal suggestion is that the author should do some research and read other authors' work before writing the book.
It's okay if you don't think too much while reading, but the author only knows who the loyal ministers and who the treacherous ministers are from history books. Little does he know that people can change, especially officials. Their opinions are determined by their own interests. The book fixes people's loyalty and treachery, making them just pure NPCs, which is very boring!
