In Jiangnan in the 17th year of Daoguang's reign, a modern soul traveled through time with the "Powerful Country System". Shen Yan, a dandy from Wuxian County to the imperial examination legend of Siyuan in Lienzhong, shocked the government and the public with his "On the Forbidden Rules of the Sea" and was praised by Lin Zexu as "the unparalleled scholar of the country". He holds one hundred thousand taels of silver from Wanji Company, has an intelligence network all over the court, and uses his advanced knowledge to unlock the principles of steam engines. When the smoke of the Humen Destroyers rises, the British fleet is about to move. This soul from the future must choose between the Hanlin Academy and the Military Aircraft Department - to become a civil servant, or to become an iron-blooded prime minister? A counterattack that changed modern history began in Humen in 1840. Winning four yuan in a row was just the beginning. He wanted to use the entire Qing Dynasty's national power to bet on an unyielding future.
