[Immortality + infrastructure + no heroine + historical transformation + no system + observing history + living from Qin to Ming Dynasty]
How long did he live?
He was there when Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall.
He was there when Liu Bang took over the throne.
He was still there when Zhu Yuanzhang killed the hero.
He lived from the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, a full two thousand years.
He does not cultivate immortality, does not strive for hegemony, and is not an emperor.
He only does one thing -
Let the people have enough to eat and wear warm clothes.
He made the curved shaft plow.
Daida method, he recommended it.
Stirrups, shoeing, papermaking, triple ledger, military horse records...
He is not very Machiavellian.
He does one thing better than others -
Live long.
Live long enough to take over this land,
A crop of crops, a crop of crops,
Plan so that everyone can have enough to eat and clothing to wear.
…
Someone asked him if it was worth it, and he smiled:
"I can wait. Wait for a season of crops to mature, wait for a generation of people to be fed, wait for a country to stand up."
…
If you live a long time, you will always do more things for those who cannot live long.
