In the thirtieth year of the Kangxi reign, a modern man awakens in the body of the twelve-year-old Fifth Prince, Yinqi.
This is a time of prosperity: the northern frontier has only just been pacified, and trade flourishes across the seas. But he knows that Russia is still pushing eastward and Western warships have already sailed into the East. He also knows that beneath this prosperous age, relief grain will be embezzled, river works funds will be stolen, and ordinary people will sell their land and children, while official reports continue to claim that all is “well and peaceful.”
He does not fight for the throne or form factions.
He begins with an old ledger and a customs ship register, investigating corrupt policies, developing maritime trade, exploring Western learning, and training the navy.
Others are fighting for the throne.
He is fighting for the fate of Huaxia over the next hundred years.
When a golden age has its flaws, someone must make them right.
Dude, what are you writing? When brothers speak, you write them off as father and son.
