Jin Dynasty's economy

I've played some matches as jin dynasty and for some reason i always lose or get carried by my teammates. i always feel like i'm behind in both military and resources.

This civ is supposed to be a boomer civ, but when you compare it's economy to the likes of china and abbasid it's terrible. flower paggoda landmark is equivilant to 1 imperial officer (it gives 25% bonus while an imperial officer gives 20% and you get 4 of them lol). it's mountain hall landmark is also weird since it doesn't do anything for a few minutes and only gives a bonus for 1 minute (i know it helps but still not enough in my experience), and if you don't have enough relics you basically lose half of the landmark. pagoda forest wood bonus is nice but it usually comes too late to have a meaningful impact. the reindeer traders are nice specially when you use emmisaries but that's about it. also maybe it's just me but having two types of villagers makes it very confusing.

Maybe i'm just bad at playing jin dynasty but i have a way easier time when playing as china for example (or any other boomer civ). has anyone found a good strategy to use? i've tried 1 and 2 TCs, going all economy landmarks or going great pasture into mountain hall and still no luck. almost every bonus this civ has is in imperial (like 25% hp increase for infantry and storm lancers) and i can't even reach imperial with good timing.
