Traveling through the late Northern Song Dynasty, he decided to use financial war to save the country.
Shen Gu, a modern expert who is familiar with monetary history and crisis response, opened his eyes and became an orphan from a poor family in Bianjing during the seventh year of Zhenghe. The father died, the family was ruined, the creditors came to visit, and the history books record that ten years later, Jingkang was humiliated and the world was turned upside down.
No system, no divine power, only a brain that understands the laws of economics, and a skinny but strong spine.
He did not copy poetry or make guns. On the eve of the end of the world, when "money shortage" is raging, evil money is rampant, courts are extravagant, and border dangers are looming, he chose a thorny road that no one has thought of - using finance as a sword to pierce the abscesses of this era.
From the first pot of gold when the market warehouse debunked the "tin money" scam, to the thrilling comeback of gambling on "salt money" in the Jieshen Lane Jiaoyin shop; from being forced into the vortex of Cai Jing's "banknote law" reform, to the cold-hearted short-selling and capital transfer during the war of the Northern Expedition; When the Jingkang cavalry broke through Bianliang, he launched an unprecedented "civilization rescue" with money as the context amidst the beacon smoke - transferring craftsmen, buying off scholars, transporting grain and medicine, and laying a financial bloodline to the south on the ruins of the empire.
What he wants to do is not the prime minister, but the "planning prime minister" - the "uncrowned prime minister" who is in charge of the country's wealth and uses the power of money and grain to reshape the world.
See how a modern financial soul used the coldest numbers and calculations to do the most passionate things, buying a different future for Chinese civilization in the dusk of the Northern Song Dynasty.
