A Ming Politician

This book is indeed very well written. Now that we're almost a nation, when I first became known as the "King of Germany," I wondered if the country would be called "Germany." Haha, it seems that's true. That's fine, I can just laugh it off. But when I saw that they used the Gregorian calendar, my worldview was completely shattered!

After reading dozens of chapters, the biggest problem I feel is that the protagonist uses modern thinking to conduct business and speaks official jargon in ancient times. It feels hypocritical everywhere. The author is probably a government official in real life; the writing reeks of official speeches.

Chapter Six of this book is a flaw. The way the author inexplicably treats a beggar so well, even elevating it to the level of his character, is like expecting someone to serve their father. You wouldn't see anyone being kind to a beggar in modern times; it's too unrealistic and feels fake.

It feels quite childish. The protagonist is a minor county official, and the clerks receive a few hundred taels of silver a month, while the yamen runners receive 500 taels a year. If we had known that in those days, it would have been considered a good year if an ordinary person could save two or three taels of silver a year, and a third-rank official in the capital would only receive a few taels of silver a month!

After reading a few chapters, it became boring, mediocre, and incredibly childish. In an era teeming with refugees, bandits, and corrupt officials, people were still taking the imperial examinations to become officials; they didn't know how to develop their skills in a cunning and underhanded way—truly ridiculous.

Having read the previous parts, I personally feel that it didn't capture the essence of politicians. There's a saying that politicians are corrupt because of their souls, and I didn't see that in myself, which is a bit disappointing.

Why does the protagonist turn pale and tremble slightly every time he sees a letter? And why does he repeat the same words so often? I heard that in the end, the protagonist even rebels and becomes emperor himself.

Synopsis: The wheels of history are turning! Turning! Reversing national fortunes, crushing the great powers, expanding territory, reviving the Central Kingdom… it all began in 1906! What is the Way of the King? If your opponent is disobedient, crush them. What is the Way of the Hegemon? Even the obedient are crushed. What is the Way of Heaven? My friend, today it's your turn to be crushed.

I read up to chapter 432, then stopped for a long time. The reason is simple: the story's development just didn't interest me. The protagonist has completely transformed from a time traveler into a Ming Dynasty scholar; the only purpose of the time travel seems to be using cheat codes.

I'm not watching anymore, it's nonsense. The late Ming Dynasty, you're still talking about traveling? Do you think it's the Spring and Autumn Period or the Tang Dynasty? And Zhengzhou? There's no Zhengzhou in the Ming Dynasty.
