In the first year of Zhenguan, Xu Zhao transformed from a mechanical engineer into the humiliated son-in-law of the Xu family in Suzhou. On the night of the wedding, his wife-in-law forced him to sign a "letter of dissolution". He used the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" to calculate the beads with his backhand, hoisted a ten thousand kilogram salt boat with a pulley block, and tore up the engagement in public: "I will no longer serve this extra son-in-law!"
Five years later, the "flying money" in Chang'an West City subverted the money power of the five surnames and Qi Wang, and the roaring ink painting factory in Baqiao crushed the foundation of the family.
Ten years later, gunpowder in the Talas desert shattered the Persian elephant array. Veteran Li Jing shouted angrily with a trembling voice: "Xu Mingyuan! You are creating heavenly punishment!"
Twenty years later, the prototype of the Ryukyu Autonomous Territory's parliament alarmed the government and the public. Wu Meiniang knocked on the door late at night: "Master Xu wants this country..."
He helped up the Japanese envoy who was kneeling, burned the Persian Queen's credentials for ten cities, and wrote his last words in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River:
"The Tang Dynasty I want can accommodate all nations and can accommodate the ambition of steam engines, but only——
There is no room for any blood from the Xuanwu Sect. "
