In the early years of the Zhenguan era, the Sixth Prince, Li Zhen, is demoted to Lingnan after behaving disgracefully while drunk. Lingnan is rife with miasma and rebellion, and his future is uncertain.
Along the way, he unexpectedly gains the “Prosperous Age Commerce” System. From then on, he wields commerce like a sword, breaking through crises and laying a solid foundation.
The System issues missions, rewarding him with prestige and resources when he completes them. With its help, he starts with a single candy shop and expands into every industry.
He subdues pirates, builds a merchant fleet, takes on powerful clans, establishes banks, opens up the Silk Road, and plans for the whole realm.
While others are still fighting over power, he has already entered government through business, taken control of the economic lifelines, and begun shaping the court's fortunes.
With his own strength, he will reshape the Tang Dynasty's commercial landscape, reverse the decline of its golden age, and reach the pinnacle of power.
In the end, he will build a commercial empire spanning Europe and Asia, become a wise ruler for the ages, and forge a prosperous age of his own.
