Li Jing'an, a top workhorse, died of liver cancer and was reborn in the chaotic final years of the Qing dynasty. He became the legitimate grandson of Li Shaoluan, founder of Jifeng Trading Company, known as Jifeng House, in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, and the future successor to the business.

With memories of his previous life and knowledge of how history would unfold over the next century, Li Jing'an had no intention of playing the fool to catch his enemies off guard. From childhood, he displayed extraordinary aptitude for learning.

He studied literature to build his knowledge and cultural foundations, trained in martial arts to strengthen his body and combat skills, joined business to modernize and grow the old trading house, and entered the military to forge a disciplined army.

The rules for a warlord in a time of chaos: seize strategic locations, keep the army under strict control, enforce clear military regulations, bring in technology, build industry, abolish harsh levies, eliminate miscellaneous taxes, manufacture guns, cannons, and weapons, grow grain and vegetables, smelt steel and iron...

The court is wary of him? Promoting him only to sideline him? Keeping him under pressure?

Fine. Time will tell!
