He was in the Ming Dynasty and had just ascended the throne as emperor at the beginning.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be an emperor in peacetime, spend three years saving money, build a steam engine in three years, pacify the Tatars and Oaras in another five years, and colonize the world in another ten years, during which time you would give birth to dozens of children, raise hundreds of cats and dogs, and design a zoo?
"I have only one dream."
"I want to make my Ming Dynasty's clothes last forever, so that the common people in the world will never suffer from hunger, cold, cold and scarcity, so that people in the world can have their grievances redressed, so that the talented can be promoted, so that the rich will not be arrogant and extravagant, so that the poor can make a living, so that everyone in the world can live and work in peace and contentment!"
