Three Kingdoms: A Sage’s Heir, Bringing Civilization to the Colonies Overseas

Overnight, he finds himself at the end of the Han dynasty, as the son of Kong Rong. What is it like to be a descendant of Confucius? Joining someone else's cause is out of the question, and the Jin dynasty that followed the Three Kingdoms must never come to pass. But how to make that happen is a major problem. Development requires resources, so the only option is to gather all the world's resources in one place. As a descendant of Confucius, it is his duty to enlighten the people. He helps them, so they should be grateful to him. “Confucius said to toil your sinews and bones and starve your body. I'll have the barbarians overseas learn through practice, so they can truly understand the teachings of the sages. They should feel honored, right?” From then on, barbarians from every region began throwing themselves into all kinds of infrastructure projects. “Since I've enlightened them, shouldn't their lands and resources be given to me as payment?” The affairs of men of culture can't be called colonization. I'm helping them, enlightening them. They should be grateful to me. From then on, the world's resources began flowing toward the Han Empire. “What? They have objections?” “Seems they still don't understand. I'll have to make sure they learn the hard way!” “Next, we'll build a canal. Let them do it!” “The sages said the sea accepts all rivers. Only by controlling every sea and mountain in the world can we live up to the words of our forebears.” “I came here for one thing: Mine, mine, it's all mine!” “Nobody's said that before? No matter. I said it, so it counts.” Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers and mountains reach, is Han land? Nothing wrong with that. That's how it should be!
