The Chivalrous King of the Tang Dynasty: Sweeping the Silk Road and Subduing the Frontier States

He has barely transmigrated into a new body when they try to drown him in the river?! Qin Zhaoyan, a modern Silk Road scholar and retired soldier, opens his eyes to find himself the disowned son of a military family in the Tang dynasty. A tyrant from the canal gang is already raising a knife to throw him to the fish!

Fortunately, he has the advantages of two lifetimes: with modern combat skills in his left hand, he snaps a steel blade; with a Silk Road trade map in his right, he anticipates business opportunities. He uses peerless spear skills to bring down assassins, and the joint-stock system to rally thousands of merchants!

One shot at the Yangzhou docks settles the matter. Zhaoyan Society establishes rules to protect trade: when the canal gang demands protection money, a strike team raids its lair! When the Lu family frames him for smuggling with a vicious scheme, an improved flying-money system shuts off their escape route! When the Mingjiao launches an assassination, special forces tactics pin the assassins to the city walls!

From the waterways of Jiangnan to the deserts of the Western Regions, he trains merchant escorts with military formations, opens oasis trade routes with his knowledge of the Silk Road, and cuts the frontier warlords off from their revenue through alliances with foreign merchants. In the end, he carries the dragon banner of the Tang dynasty beyond the Congling Mountains, while the Zhaoyan trading code of “protecting commerce through benevolence and righteousness” becomes the golden rule spanning Europe and Asia!

In the chaotic Tang dynasty, some rise through political schemes and others dominate through force. Qin Zhaoyan, however, relies on what he has learned across two lifetimes to forge a Silk Road legend of his own: “Commerce can enrich the nation, and righteousness can bring peace to the land”!
