Traveling through the late Ming Dynasty and becoming a humble son-in-law of the British government, Lin Mo originally wanted to survive in troubled times.
However, when he witnessed it with his own eyes (you can fill in the specific scene, such as: the capital was starved to death/corruption was rampant in the officialdom), he realized that what this land needed was not a paper poster, but a gravedigger!
Therefore, [Microscope] allowed him to gather people's hearts, [Basic Steelmaking Method] allowed him to arm the army, and [Financial Bonds] allowed him to drain the Ming Dynasty's treasury.
He started his layout from the British government, and quietly established his own order in the light of the three-party game between Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, and Huang Taiji.
When Chongzhen hangs himself in Meishan, and when the Eight Banners cavalry knocks on the pass and marches south, what they will face will be a brand new empire founded by the son-in-law and based on the belief of "rationality" and "science".
