In the face of power, businessmen are lambs to the slaughter.
If you're not an official, this property isn't yours; it will be confiscated.
How do you compare to Hu Xueyan? He was both an official and a businessman, yet his property was still confiscated.
If you travel back to the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic of China and don't grab a knife, that's just nonsense!
You're crazy! You've sold off all your assets and are full of cash. Aren't you just handing over the spoils to the powerful and wealthy? They don't even need to worry about what to do with your assets; they can just arrest you.
Just a normal Republican-era story, nothing with fantasy elements. I feel like the author is trending towards that.
Without guns, everything is empty.
The subject matter is good, but the plot is bad.
When traveling long distances, the protagonist usually accompanies no more than five people: one bodyguard, one main character, and the rest are his family. They're incredibly poor, with an estate of only a few hundred to tens of millions of taels of silver. You read that right, a fortune of several hundred to tens of millions of taels of silver.
Traveling back to the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, relying on foresight and knowledge is of little use. Without a systematic approach or metaphysics, unless one is content with mediocrity, one will likely die without even knowing how. Those with names and identities are all spokespeople for foreign powers.
This guy's obviously a college student who time-traveled, and he's got no intelligence and no emotional intelligence at that. The worst part is, he's been daydreaming for years and hasn't made any progress. What a waste!
