When Lin Yan, a modern designer who stayed up late revising drafts, traveled through time and became a dying Hanlin official in the last years of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's iron hooves had already broken through the capital. In the smoke, he took off his crimson official robe and used charcoal to sketch a defense sketch that combined Ming-style architecture and modern engineering on the remaining paper. The three-dimensional granary propped up the crumbling morale of the army, and the mortise and tenon mechanism concealed the ultimate goal, but it was crushed by the torrent of history in the blood and fire of Xizhimen.
After protecting Chongzhen and moving south to Jinling, he became the Minister of Household Affairs at the center of the New Deal whirlpool. Checking the treasury, fighting against the party, and establishing performance appraisals, every government order stabs at the intricate and rotten root system. Secret accounts of corruption are hidden under the carved beams, the hoofbeats of King Qin's army crush the plotters, and the daughter of the minister who donated a hundred stones of grain and grain holds the blood-stained inkstone with him in the ruins - her eyes reflect not only the flames of the war, but also the mountains and rivers of Qingming that he reconstructed in his writing.
The gears of history are cold, but the obsession of the craftsmen is hot: even if the old dynasty is overthrown, new latitude and longitude must be carved on the ruins.
