Chapter 2: Prices collapsed
There is a big problem with the conversion ratio of gold and silver coins to copper. Let's do the math. 1 Copper = 1 catty of bread (pounds are almost calculated in kilograms). A working farmer eats at least 3 kilograms a day, right? 90 Pounds per month is 7.5 Silver, and 90 silver = 4.5 Gold per year. Prices have collapsed. In a medium-sized barony, a net profit of 50 gold per year is the annual ration for 11 farmers? What about the Chicken Feather Baron? It took me three years as a baron to buy a green weapon? A baron family with 5 parents and children would eat about the same quality in a day. Calculated at 30 coppers, the family would have to eat 45 golds a year, which is a year's profit. As you said, the earl's annual profit is 1,000 gold and 200 farmers' annual rations. Are you saying that this is the annual net profit of several cities? A count earns 3 pieces of plate armor in a year? You set the prices so clearly, have you ever calculated them carefully yourself? The median annual income of a landless knight is 40 gold, which is about the net profit of a barony. 25 Landless knights are enough to earn the income of the most rubbish earl. That is, the salary of 25 workers = the net income of several towns + dozens of villages. 1,000 Gold is only enough to feed 220 farmers for a year.
There are some toxic points in the previous chapters, but they won't make you abandon the game. The author's attitude and updates are relatively good. Don't concoct some characters or describe plots that are inconsistent with the characters' personalities. Just make it more natural. As the territory develops, it's nice to see the technology tree slowly light up, but the ability system is not very clear. There can be more clues or foreshadowing in the front, like Hector, otherwise the switching of characters and plots sometimes feels stiff. For example, twice the protagonist asks his sister if there is anyone in the capital who meets his needs, and then switches to the perspective of Tristan and the prince. It would be nice to do this once. The progression of the plot does not have to be entirely from the perspective of the protagonist. The protagonist knows the next goal or information in a nutshell, but when watching it, it will feel very abrupt and catch people off guard. Come on, author. If you insist on finishing the first book, Farewell to the Eunuch, it will be a success.
The dungeon of Empire has been open for too long, and the author has been adding patches to the strength of the Empire. To be honest, if the strength of the Empire was so exaggerated at the beginning, then the Imperial Party would be right. It is so difficult for the protagonist to cheat, and the Principality has no chance of winning in the first place.
Breaking news
There are too few chapters, please add more
In a world with extraordinary power, can individuals really achieve class leaps through bravery? That's for sure! The more advanced the world becomes, the greater the importance of strength. Boxing is power. It is the strong who become the class, not the class who becomes the strong.
Forehead
Just hold on and sink more and more in the future. What you have to do is how to retain people in the early stage, not how to do it more and more in the future! A majestic lord and a noble, but the people of the lord dare to openly oppose the lord and put pressure on the lord? It's been a long time coming. This is the first time I've read a Lord's article for so long. The key is not execution, but confiscation of all property and expulsion from the territory? Just demote them into slaves to mine or kill them. If they are released according to their temperament, they will be blind and irritating. (Don't tell me that these are words to awaken the consciousness of these numb people. I want to laugh.) Reading this book is all about you saying that this book is a harem novel, otherwise you would have run away (but after seeing more than a hundred chapters, the protagonist is still a eunuch), it is absolutely useless. (But you have advantages and can listen to opinions) I will wait for your next book and write more normally.
Explanation on issues related to farmers and serfs in Ashmarsh Territory
Concentrated answers to some questions raised by many book friends about the attitude of the people in the Gray Swamp Territory and Gray Mist Village Territory. 1. Are the villagers in Gray Mist Village too courageous? First of all, they are not serfs. The original villagers of Gray Mist Village are land-owning farmers and hunters. 2. Why didn't Verin turn them into serfs when he came? Isn't he a lord? When a new lord opens a territory, he will not directly turn everyone into serfs. Chapter 12 of "The Teutonic Knights: A Military History" mentions: "After the Crusaders conquered Livonia in the 13th century... Until the 15th century, most of the indigenous people were free taxpayers." Historically, in 1524, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in the southern German-speaking region. The cause was that the lords forced more and more free people to become serfs. 3. Farmers are not brave either. The cultures of the West and the East are different. As for how bold the yeoman farmers are, from the 11th to the 16th century, peasant uprisings occurred one after another. Especially due to the spread of the great plague, the peasant population dropped sharply. As a result, lords often required peasants to farm land for the lord. For this reason, rent and interest reductions were the norm. 4. If the yeoman farmers are so disobedient, why not just buy some serfs? In Tsarist Russia, which has the strongest tradition of serfdom, in the 19th century, the production efficiency of homesteaders was about 30% higher than that of serfs. Western Europe started in the 11th century and was basically completed by the 15th century. (Please don't be so violent... If you are dissatisfied, you will be killed. The reign of terror is effective in the short term, but the long-term efficiency will become lower and lower. Furthermore, I believe in Weilin's ability, he will have a better way to rule than the feudal system.)
Why are there so many arguments in the comments?
There will be a lot of debate in the comments of each chapter, and many readers will raise questions. The reason is very simple. There are indeed logical flaws, and there are many. Book friends who read regularly can easily see this. Many plots are forced by the author, and the protagonist often makes some inexplicable choices. If you put yourself into the protagonist's situation, you will find that according to the IQ of ordinary people, there are better choices, but the protagonist does not. That's fine, but you can't always emphasize in the narration that the protagonist has a high IQ and others are stupid, such as the villagers of Gray Mist Village. That would be too embarrassing.
Do you think you're here to see the protagonist's constant biological transformation? In fact, this part of the content is always written in one stroke. Most of it is about territorial things and interactions with other people. However, the plot and emotional writing are a mess. The introduction is obviously about writing experiments and attracting people in, but not writing. It's like thinking that the plot arrangement is wonderful.
A lord's annual profit is 50 gold, and a slave's annual profit is 30 gold. Then the monthly salary of a maid is almost 1 gold... To give an inappropriate example, 10% of a county's GDP is not excessive as profit, right? The GDP of an ordinary county in contemporary China is more than 20 billion. 10% Of it is more than 2 billion. You are equivalent to spending 1 billion to introduce a black African to settle down... To pay 1/50 of the profit to a civil servant, that is, to pay a civil servant a monthly salary of 40 million, one person... If you are not convinced, the average county-level fiscal revenue in the Han and Tang Dynasties was 50,000 taels of silver... 10% As profit would be 5,000 taels of silver. You have to spend 2,500 taels of silver to buy a Mongolian prisoner of war and pay a maid a monthly salary of 50 taels. The county magistrate does not have this kind of income 😅😅
You have so many dramas in your heart as a maid, what's the point of showing off? How to see and how to respond
It's frustrating to see me always reacting passively, and I don't want to chase anymore😮💨
I hope the author will use less dialogue descriptions of idiot villagers.
The little poison in front of me can be tolerated, but the staff-making villagers in that village really can't bear it. The protagonist has diluted the obvious supernatural means, but the villagers have a protagonist playing in the mud. It really made me laugh.
I have read about seventy chapters, so here is the general review: For a newcomer, this book is acceptable. Although there are many small flaws, they are not so poisonous that it will make people laugh. If the author can always write with this learning → improvement attitude, I think at least he can slowly improve in the Western Fantasy direction. The various problems we have seen so far, whether they are economic and monetary, the plot is old-fashioned or deviates from the main line, the characters do not adhere to stereotypes, etc., Are just imperfect and not poisonous. The reason may be that the author's setting is not thick enough or the professional knowledge reserve is insufficient or the experience is low. I haven't seen any obviously disgusting readers who just want to satisfy the author's personal taste and never change it (of course, some old authors use this filter to further please themselves later), so maybe readers have many suggestions but they won't give up directly. Personally, I feel that the next step is to learn to "whet the appetite". One of the keys to writing a novel is to draw the story, both for the protagonist to draw for the supporting characters and for the author to draw for the readers. It is easy for the readers to get tired if the perspective is only limited to the protagonist and the things around him. After all, if the explosive points are not enough, people will easily read the book and forget about it. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a foreshadowing in advance, introduce a more detailed world view and various settings, let external variables disrupt the protagonist's situation and then let the protagonist solve it, etc. "If a gun appears in the article, it will definitely fire." A good plot will definitely not be understood by readers at a glance. For example, the plot of the Chamber of Commerce's invasion is concentrated from the beginning to the end of more than a dozen chapters. Readers can directly see that this is a cushion for the protagonist's early development. If there is an outline, you can add a few simple sentences at the beginning of the paragraph where the protagonist goes to the territory to do business. Simply saying "the conflicts between the chambers of commerce are not serious" can make things happen more naturally and logically. It will not block the creative direction later, and it will not make readers feel that the whole plot is solved by the protagonist "just" encountering "good luck". There is no need to mention too many times in advance. One or two mentions in the first 30 to 50 chapters are enough, and readers will have a vague impression without feeling artificial.
The biological transformation that was promised was all in the power game style at the beginning. After entering the territory, it became even more uncontrollable. Palace fights and power games. The so-called transformation is the leftover materials used to create troops in the struggle of power games.
Scientific research➕Lord has writing style, innovation and principles. Keep it up, the leading mainstream will add another classic. What is a bit worrying is that as the protagonist continues to grow and do scientific research, other lords or others cannot watch you develop or not develop themselves. As a Western fantasy worldview, Angsa culture is a must-have part. Don't always impose Eastern culture on it. To say a bad thing must conform to a certain stereotype. Only contrast can create beauty. This refers to individuals rather than collectives. Stop putting the protagonist and passerby on the stage in the auction and reduce the price. Of course, works of the same type often use golden fingers to be invincible in the middle and late stages, and then change the map or bring out stronger enemies. To be honest, it is classic but very boring, and it will give people the feeling of looking all over the place at a glance. (For subjective evaluation, please refer to the actual situation)
Chapter 50 What a failure
A group of people who can't afford to eat, open up with the protagonist. According to the description, it seems that the protagonist promises to give them land, and then all the food, drink and accommodation are paid for by the protagonist. They also buy various supplies. The sweet potato seeds developed by the protagonist are all free? Then everyone can have enough to eat by growing their own land? Don't worry about anything else. Let the protagonist cultivate his own land? Hahaha, laugh to death. The protagonist is required to find a way to motivate them, which is outrageous. Did the lower class of the slave system in the Middle Ages have such a happy life?
I subscribe to one just to say a few words. A noble's annual income can only buy one or two slaves? Are your prices too exaggerated?
In my humble opinion, if you argue, you are right.
A common problem in medieval novels is that the protagonist, who is a lord, is too nice. This does not mean that the protagonist is required to go crazy and kill anyone who is unhappy. After all, serfs and citizens are important property, but property that is disobedient is not good property and needs to be "repaired" in time.
After looking at dozens of pictures, I didn't feel happy, and I kept feeling suffocated! Then there is no plan for what Pig's Feet does! If you encounter it, deal with it temporarily! Then can the nobles of this country attack each other's territories? If this is the case, why are there still minor nobles? The most important thing is that the protagonist comes out to explore as soon as he awakens his bloodline? Such a great research book, does it have the strength to protect its own results, and dozens of them have no mention of improving their own strength at all!
There are so many problems in this work that are ridiculous First, the author likes to use aristocratic families as the background of the protagonist, but the behavioral logic is that of the bottom proletariat. The living logic of the wealthy upper class and the poor lower class is completely different. The more carefully the details are written, the more serious the sense of violation will be. The second fantasy story uses Chinese dialogues. This is not serious, but I still feel a little unbearable after seeing it. Stop violating yourself, what a phoenix man. The third one is also quite serious. The protagonist relies on plug-ins to solve problems, but it has to be about what kind of technology it is. It can be said to be black technology, but it has nothing to do with scientific research and technology.
The idea is okay, but it's a pity that the plot is hard to describe in one sentence
Why is Caroline becoming more and more vilified? There is no need to write it like this to set off the protagonist's calmness. It's too stupid. It can't be written without someone to support it.
National Day Notice (Important)
Dear readers: When the author saw the monthly ticket notice, I was scared to drop the mooncakes. Are you using your monthly tickets as a brick to knock me unconscious on the keyboard? (Touched to the point of transformation. Jpg) I must repay this heavy love with updates! Therefore, a military order is issued: During the National Day, three chapters will be updated every day! When I am in good condition, I will update like crazy. The upper limit depends on whether my liver can still explode. PS: Steam has been uninstalled. From now on, the keyboard is my only comrade. In short, this holiday, I will live and die with my keyboard! Finally, why is the comment area so quiet? I don't know what's wrong with what I wrote, and what do gentlemen like to read.
There are too many political relationships involved to write about
In the early caravan mode, the hostess of Jinfan did not act like a qualified strong woman, and the countess was even more inexplicable. It was too outrageous for Chenxi to accept that gift, and the forbidden curse was not that powerful, right? Is it possible to reclaim land from the sea or is it a timely version that still needs those so-called barons and twenty or thirty warriors? The outrageous thing of a noble going to another noble's house to poach someone seemed very uncomfortable. As for the sea tribe, it's even weirder. If they eat too much, they will wait for you to get stronger before they come to grab the minerals. Besides, how can any marine creature dig holes? The latter part feels a bit too broad and can't be contained. It's better to write it smaller
Protagonist is too weak
The protagonist's silver bloodline alone spawns a bunch of creatures far beyond his level. Is it too buggy? Protagonist is too weak
I was attracted by the title of the book and then it disappeared.
The monetary system collapsed in the first 5 chapters. The baron's family had a surplus of 50 gold suns a year, and the maid's salary was 2 gold suns a year.
No, I thought the protagonist of Alien Beasts was playing with biotechnology. I thought I could see biological guns or biological tanks, but in the end, I changed my bloodline?
The system only has an insight function, and the extraordinary graft it provides allows the protagonist to try it again and again. I haven't seen the system play any role other than insight. So disappointed, I knock
