Traveling through time as an abandoned son who was exiled to an island by his family, the beginning is in hell mode: a deserted island, a broken house, a group of refugees with sallow faces, and a desperate situation where food may run out at any time. The good news is that this island has an excellent geographical location and is the only channel for trade between the East and the West. The bad news is that there is no money, no ship, no technology, and not even a decent iron pot. Everyone is waiting to see him starve to death, and even the original family is betting that he can survive a few winters. However, Pei Yunqing smiled. In his previous life, he was a top student in the shipbuilding department. Although he didn't have a golden finger, the blueprints and navigation knowledge in his head were his biggest trump cards! No boat? He led the refugees to cut wood and build ships, from the original canoe to a sturdy three-masted sailing ship. No way? He drew sea charts, cut through the waves, and forcibly opened up a golden trade route in the dangerous sea. When his fleet loaded with spices, gems and silk reappeared at the capital port, the tribesmen who had looked down on him were shocked: "Is this... Is this still the waste that was thrown to feed the fish?" Pei Yunqing stood on the deck, facing the sea breeze, looking at the incredibly rich goods, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to make a living, but I accidentally monopolized overseas trade." From desert island survival to maritime empire, this is a journey about wisdom, courage and ambition. There is no system, no plug-ins, just a pair of hands and a heart that wants to change your destiny.
