Once traveling through the fifteenth year of Wanli, Zhou Mian became a poor boy with only a few walls.
On a rainy night at the beginning, the house collapsed and he had to sleep in a pig pen.
Looking at the vast sea, he had a flash of inspiration: It's not too much to get some private money in exchange for two nests, right?
Relying on modern knowledge, he boiled lard and made the first soap. He was sent to the palace as a tribute, accidentally opening up the wealthy Ren and Du lineage.
From then on, salt and iron, shipping, finance... His business tentacles extended to every corner of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Wanli was his partner, and the chief minister of the cabinet begged him to go public.
As the wheel of history rolls around, this bookworm who once climbed into the pig pen has become a behind-the-scenes plutocrat who holds the economic lifeline with one hand and drives the rise and fall of the empire with one hand!
Reader comments
In this book, the protagonist is a poor man who survives by selling sea salt, starts his business by making soap, and then builds cement, pig pens, glass, brick kilns, banks, mints, construction and other workshops to gain a lot of wealth. Of course, there are many rich and powerful people who frame the protagonist in the process of starting a business. In the end, it is conceivable that it can become a plutocratic group like the East India Company and is only controlled by the protagonist. The Ming Dynasty may implement a constitutional monarchy. Why is it a constitutional monarch? What else can be done after traveling through Wanli for fifteen years?
