In the third year of Tianyou's reign in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was about to fall, the princes were divided, and wars, famines and tides swept across the south of the Yangtze River.
Shen Yan, a modern engineering project manager, accidentally traveled to Yanguan County and became the son of a run-down petty official whose father had recently died and whose family property was about to be taken away by powerful men. Faced with a three-day promise to repay the debt, he started from a section of the seawall that was about to collapse. He gathered refugees, developed water conservancy, rectified salt administration, launched maritime trade, and trained a strong army. In an era when warriors competed for the world with swords, he gradually established his own order.
From Yanguan County to the two Zhejiang provinces, from the southeast coast to the Central Plains, when Zhu Wen, Qian Liu, Li Cunxu, Chai Rong, and Zhao Kuangyin appeared one after another, Shen Yan also had to make a choice:
