About This Novel

When the sea ban of the Dayin Dynasty was first lifted, Yun Ge, an orphan girl from a poor family, walked from the Qin Tower in Bianjing into the turbulent business world with her ancestral book "Tide Spectrum" and half a piece of the Mermaid Tears Jade Pendant. She made friends with Hu merchants from the Western Regions by playing the blind instrument of the konghou, improved the dye formula, outsmarted the Caobang young master, pioneered the "Women's Inspection Warehouse", and used technological innovation and business wisdom to break the shackles of the times. From Quanzhou Citong Port to outside Yumen Pass, Yun Ge led the "Red Rainbow Team" widow army to dig canals, tame the salt-alkali flats, use the magnet compass to open up new shipping routes, and use "flying money" bills to restructure the financial order. She went deep into the grassland to teach textile skills in exchange for priority on war horses; she broke into the enemy camp at night and burned the pirate throne with oil and fire attacks; and at the Nine-Day Mountain and Sea God Festival, she announced the new maritime regulations with the sound of thousands of ships honking their horns. This epic work not only shows the ultimate growth of a woman from a poor family to a maritime merchant empress, but also uses the melee of hot and cold weapons, the commercial war on both sea and land as its bones, the female-led infrastructure revolution (such as the cultivation of salt-alkali-tolerant rice, the excavation of canals) and the decryption of black technology (such as the armillary sphere redrawing the star map) as its soul, and outlines a splendid picture of the collision of grassland-farming-marine civilizations. When the divided Mermaid Tears and Jade Pendant finally merged into one, the outline of the New Continent that appeared on the sea map was exactly the legend of Yun Ge's great voyage in the East, in which he overturned order with his business methods and rewritten civilization with his wisdom.
