Traveling through the Tang Dynasty, others are the emperor and I am the capitalist.
Others engage in palace fighting, while I engage in joint-stock systems.
While others compete for the throne, I compete for market share.
Others raise private soldiers, I raise war dogs.
Others write poems, and I write the beginning of "Das Kapital."
Li Shimin asked me: What do you want to do?
I said: Your Majesty, I just want people to live.
Later, I created parliament, banks, futures, triangular trade, religious exports, colonial companies...
Li Shimin said again: You are more ruthless than me.
Later, the entire Tang Dynasty called me "the one who started the company."
And my Dongtianzhu Company became the world's first multinational trust.
Oh, by the way, I also burned Pyongyang, killed the Japanese emperor, turned the Tubo people into war hunting dogs, asked Wu Meiniang to preach in Tianzhu, and asked Lu Yu to sell rabbit sets...
I unleashed the beast of capitalism.
Can't shut it down.
