Shen Yan, the director of a modern investment bank, accidentally traveled through time and became the most disliked ninth prince of the Xia Dynasty. His mother was the daughter of a guilty minister, his father and son were estranged, and his brothers were feuding. He read the history books in the cold palace, but found that he was in a completely different time and space from what he remembered - the prosperous Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion had been reduced to a quagmire of feudal rule, the court was divided between eunuchs and family members, and the cold-faced empress Li Xian who listened to politics behind the curtain was just a puppet in the hands of powerful ministers.
When the Turkic cavalry came to the pass, Shen Yan used futures thinking to hoard grain and grass, used "Salt and Iron Theory" to improve the tax system, and borrowed gunpowder formula to establish the Shenji Camp. He turned the principles of modern economics and finance into a powerful weapon: he used the O2O model to revitalize the market economy, used the "Two Tax Law" reform to shake the foundation of the family, and relied on the "Three Three Systems" tactic to defeat the Khitan's 100,000 cavalry. In the turbulent battle for the heir, he and Li Xian gradually developed from being allies of each other's pawns to soul-matching lovers.
However, the road to reform was shocking every step of the way: the counterattack of the old nobles, the secret attack of Tubo, the threat of marriage from the Khitan, and Gu Shen, the counselor who had no plan left behind, actually secretly had the ambition to overthrow the dynasty. Shen Yan reshaped the imperial power with the idea of "virtual monarch and republic", but encountered a cultural gap crisis when promoting printing. When he tried to seal up modern technology and focus on institutional innovation, Li Xian traveled to the Western Regions to protect the results of the reform, leaving behind the code of co-governance in the Dunhuang murals.
This is a game of wisdom that spans thousands of years, and it is also a forbidden love that is destined to be buried in the history books. Let's see how the modern elite can turn the world around with one person's power, and write their own mountain and river epic in the gap between intrigue and love.
Purpose: Reconstruct ancient power logic with modern thinking, explore how individual wisdom breaks through the law of historical cycles, and find the balance fulcrum of civilization progress in the game of institutional innovation and human nature.
