War and Trade: I'm Raking It In!

Ying Zheng, the First Emperor of Qin: “One day, I will lead ten million iron cavalry and unite all under heaven!” Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: “If the Xiongnu can do it, so can I. If they can go there, so can I!” Li Shimin, the Heavenly Qaghan of the Tang Dynasty: “My Tang Dynasty has more civil officials and fierce generals than the stars, and millions of men stand ready day and night. All under heaven will be mine!” Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi: “Which damnable fool keeps shouting that he’s cold and asking for a robe? I’ll wipe out his entire clan!” The Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang: “If any barbarian across the seas dares harm one of my people, I’ll personally lead an army to wipe out his people and uproot his descendants!” Ji Kun: “What the hell did I do to deserve living on the same continent as those SSSR-level freaks!” But when he looks over at his sworn sons seated on both sides of the main hall, he realizes he has his own shot. It’s just farming and development, after all. It’s not like he can’t do the same!
