Through diligent governance, Zhao Xi turns this war-ravaged region into a model of order and prosperity.
He had planned to stockpile grain and build high walls, keeping his head down and developing in peace. Even with future dangers looming, he was confident he could hold on to his own small patch of land.

The First Emperor, a ruler for the ages, is stunned by what he sees!
One astonishing invention after another dazzles the eye.
“How can this road be so hard and smooth? It rivals the imperial highway!”
“Old sir, this is an elevator... I really don’t mean you any harm.”
“What? Is this a divine miracle?”
“And there’s this...”
Before long, the emperor arrives in person at Yunmeng County with his civil and military officials, warmly inviting Zhao Xi to serve at court.
Zhao Xi slaps his forehead. “Who let the secret out?”
