Revealing My Identity, I Become Deputy Emperor of Shu-Han

The author has started a new Three Kingdoms book, but I still feel that the author's style is similar to that of my younger brother, the author of Zhuge Liang, which often makes me a little confused while reading. However, what's most interesting is that the two authors have completely opposite attitudes towards Jia Xu. The guy playing with the snake monster really likes Jia Xu, while the other guy always manages to kill Jia Xu. It's so interesting.

First, in terms of character, Liu Bei was undoubtedly a moral paragon among the major rulers of the Three Kingdoms. Some question whether Liu Bei was acting, whether he was a villain. But if we use that as a benchmark, are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, and others who followed Liu Bei through thick and thin all stupid and wicked, actually fooled by such a villain as Liu Bei?

Why do history authors always insist on giving philosophy lessons to their characters with such a mediocre understanding of philosophy?

Take composting as an example. It may seem like a small order, but to implement it on every piece of farmland, it would take at least two or three years to get it going in Yizhou. The farmers have their own ideas; they won't believe rumors until they see a real increase in grain production. The claim that they could learn enemy technology in such a short time is utterly absurd.

I feel the author's writing is decent, but it won't become popular because there's too little plot; it's all about the author's own thoughts, which is too niche.

1. Technology is the only unpredictable and unhedgeable variable. Politics, economics, population, topography, and military strategy are all involutionary processes within the same dimension. We were all living in the era of cold weapons; the competition was all about: Who has more soldiers? Who has enough food? Who is the strongest commander? Who has stable domestic affairs?

Even 1700 years later, people still wanted the prime minister to win once.

Let me share some historical reflections on the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition. I don't mean to be argumentative at all—many works based on the Three Kingdoms period incorporate "high-tech" elements to help the Prime Minister overcome difficulties, which is very exciting to watch, and I completely understand that this is a necessary artistic technique.

Isn't the time travel a bit too late? With all those classic characters gone, can it still be called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

Speaking of aristocratic families, transforming some of them into factory owners and capitalists is the way to go. For thousands of years, China has been agrarian civilization, and reforms have been carried out on limited land, but all these reforms have been ineffective.
