The Yong Empire flourished and declined, the Hercynian Alliance gradually collapsed, the global trade routes of the old era began to fracture, and a new commercial civilization was quietly emerging.
Shen Zhaoye was born in Qingping Pier, a small town in the southeast. His father was just an ordinary accountant, and his mother was trapped in poverty and oppression all day long. She has no prominent background or amazing talent, but she is just more tolerant than others and more willing to repeat boring things for a long time.
At the age of seventeen, she entered the Tiangongyuan of the capital; a few years later, she entered the most mysterious institution in the empire, Teruyesi.
There, she saw for the first time how the world really works: how food prices affect wars, how trade routes affect national destiny, and how technology changes the order of the world.
With the emergence of "Tiangong Machine", a new era is gradually approaching. But she also gradually discovered that Teruyaji still belonged to the old bureaucracy after all. What really hindered the change of the world was never technology, but the old order itself.
Later, she left Zhaoyesi and re-established another "Zhaoyesi" among the people.
It does not belong to the imperial court, the aristocratic family, or any royal authority.
It is hidden among the merchant gangs, bank accounts, maritime trade and docks, quietly maintaining the operation of the entire world in troubled times.
And the small-town girl who once only wanted to escape poverty has gradually become the most dangerous person in the new era.
Purpose: Between the collapse of the old era and the rise of new civilization, how can an ordinary person re-understand the world through long-term efforts, observation and order construction, and finally choose not to be swallowed up by power.
