Gone with Thousands of Sails

"The account books of the Shibo Department are hidden in the embroidery cloth, and a woman's future is hidden in the sky." Shen Zhilan, the daughter of a former shipping envoy, secretly compiled the "Zhao Ming Maritime Code" under the guise of being a tapestry merchant. She dealt with wealthy merchants at sea, noble nobles and princes from foreign countries, used business logic to solve the court's dilemma, and took charge of maritime hegemony as a woman. From a "gold silk horse" with hidden evidence of corruption to the establishment of the Maritime Women's Chamber of Commerce, she not only tore apart the centuries-old stereotypes of the Jokhang Dynasty, but also a new narrative of oriental aesthetics and female ambition.
