As Chao Che lies on his deathbed, memories of a modern project manager appear in his mind. Faced with his father Chao Gai’s loyalty to his sworn brothers, the estate’s grain stores hollowed out by corruption, and the birthday tribute that is destined to shake the realm in four months, he decides to audit the accounts first, take control of the grain next, and intercept the tribute last. Others rob gold and silver. He intends to seize secret ledgers, salt permits, and people’s hearts. Starting with the Chao estate and using Liangshan as his foundation, he will establish a set of rules in this chaotic age that no one can escape.
