In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, on the eve of Li Zicheng's siege, I drove the steam engine to the gate of the Forbidden City - Chongzhen wrote an IOU on the spot: 10 million taels of silver, 30% annual profit!
[Text hook]
Gu Zhi, named Shuizhi, specializes in collecting imperial debts.
While others travel with potatoes, I bring a complete set of industrial machines.
On the first day, during the test run outside the Fengtian Hall, the dragon chair was lifted three feet away by the steam;
On the seventh day, coal prices in the capital plummeted, and hundreds of officials lined up to buy shares;
On the 30th day, all Guan Ning cavalry members changed "trains", and Huang Taiji moved overnight.
The treasury is empty? Don't worry, Chongzhen personally signed the IOU and pressed the jade seal. Now - it's time to collect interest!
