[The first step is to make a calculation, should you keep your position or keep your heart?
In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Baoning Prefecture in northern Sichuan. I, Chen Qinghe, am the last Guancang Ambassador of the Ming Dynasty, from the ninth rank.
Xinzhi County regarded me as fat, local snakes regarded me as a stumbling block, and the generals in the army called me an old hamster.
They just want to empty out this life-saving food.
The troubled times are like boiling water, and people are like grass and grass. I originally wanted to be a coward who could only do abacus and save my life.
Until they want to cut off this last way of survival...
So, I have an abacus in my left hand and a needle in my right hand.
Flags are placed on the roof of the house, and flags are hidden in the account books. Drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, and divert the disaster to the east.
Caught between the Qing army, the Western Camp, and local snakes, I, a rat in the woods, want to weigh the hearts of people in this troubled world and measure the blue sky above my head!
Ask me what I am guarding? It's not a warehouse, it's the last grain of seed called "conscience" in this world where corpses are everywhere.
