1762: Developing Industry in the World of Dream of the Red Chamber

Qin Weidong, an upstanding young man from the 21st century, transmigrates to the world of Dream of the Red Chamber in 1762. His older sister is none other than Qin Keqing, one of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. But this world is nothing like he imagined. It is turbulent and fractured, beset by floods, droughts, natural disasters, and human calamities. The Great Qian Dynasty is on the brink of collapse. The Four Kings and Eight Dukes, the provinces north and south, the Rongguo and Ningguo Mansions, and even the Qin family are all caught in this chaotic age. What good is keeping one's head down and seeking a noble title or high office? One imperial decree, and in the end, all that remains is desolation. Better to conquer the realm and rule it himself!
