Spending ten million taels of silver to marry a wife at the very beginning of development is utterly incomprehensible. How can a protagonist spend so much money when everything is in ruins and development requires funds? Does he even know what he's doing? Does he have more money than he can spend?
I've been watching too many anti-Japanese war dramas!
As a special forces soldier who transmigrated, why didn't you develop primer bullets? And you seem increasingly useless as the story progresses.
Holy crap, they're already elite after only two days of training?
[Comment] Jin Dynasty or Qing Dynasty, Jurchen or Manchu?
In the ninth year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty and the first year of the Chongde reign of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji changed the name of the Great Jin to the Great Qing and the name of the Jurchen people to Manchu. The term "Later Jin" is a name used by historians after the Republic of China era; it's impossible for Later Jin warriors to refer to themselves as such.
Novels where the main character is a special forces soldier are all brainless.
Seeing special forces soldiers made me laugh so hard I almost threw up.
The protagonist later becomes even worse than Wu Sangui, a complete idiot who can't resist women. And author, how did you even calculate that? The taxes from two provinces are only a little over 40 million taels, and the army's various expenses must be close to 30 million taels a year. Where did the protagonist get millions to marry a wife? Where did he get 20 million for education?
For the refugees, having even a bowl of thin porridge to avoid starvation is a blessing, let alone braised pork. That would cost a fortune! Even with money, they can't squander it. The refugees are weak and need to drink little porridge, or they might overeat and die. They also need to eat less meat; they haven't eaten meat in a long time, and eating too much would easily cause diarrhea.
Wherever the protagonist goes, the common people will become elite soldiers just by training them. There will always be enough food, and the land in his territory will always yield a bountiful harvest. Do your research before writing this. How much grain did one acre produce back then? Don't just assume it's based on current grain yields.
