How did a time traveler who climbed out of a mass grave become Qin Shihuang's most trusted man?
Chen Mo, a doctor of history, woke up and found himself lying in a mass grave outside Xianyang City after touching a piece of Qin Dynasty jade.
He is penniless and has no household registration. In this harsh era when even walking requires proof of registration, he is a person who does not exist legally.
But he has an advantage that others don't have - he knows how Qin will unify the six countries, and he also knows every trap and opportunity along the way.
Starting from a small official in the countryside, he used modern knowledge to transform the Qin State: improving the household registration system, designing segmented transportation, inventing dry grain bricks, and building spiritual canals...
During the Lao Ai Rebellion, he offered suggestions to quell the rebellion. Lu Buwei was in power, and he helped the King of Qin regain the government. He strategized during the six kingdoms' campaigns. The world was unified, and he presided over the comprehensive reform of counties, writing, weights and measures.
Ying Zheng said: "A few people with ink are like tigers with wings."
But when the empire's territory expanded to its extreme, and when Qin Shihuang began to pursue immortality and burn books to humiliate scholars, Chen Mo chose to retreat bravely.
Because he knew: the foundation of an empire is not in the height of the palace, but in the hearts of the people.
